NO TIME TO BE LOST.
CHARLESTON, 81 c., Sept. 3.-There is
no special change in the situatlon, but as
there were only two shocks, and very
light ones, during The night, there Is a
little more confidence than Yesterday.
The sympathetic articles Ia the news
papers aud Offers of aid from different
quarters are great encouragement TO
the stricken people of Charleston. The
most urgent need now Is for an early
repair Of the injured buildings to make
them habitable. High wind and heavy
rain would bring many shattered build
lngs to the ground and iniure hundreds
OF residences which have defective roofs
II would be OF great service II corps Of
government engineers could be sent here
at once to examine the houses and other
buildings and determine which OF them
can be safely occupied or allowed to
stand. The local architects have their
hands more than full.
The president authorized the secretary
OF war TO send 100 tents here, but more
are needed.
II is reported that there was a severe
shock at Sommeryllle this morning, but
the report Is not yet authenticated.
Many representatives OF leading Jour
mails are here TO write up and photograph
the city.

New YoRK, Sept. S.-The following
was received by the Western Union from
Charleston this morning; ono one at
the Mills house was Injured; all the
guests and other occupants of the house
are safe, but II is difficult To find them,
being encamped somewhere in the streets.
The people this morning have apparently
thrown off their fears and have gone to
work clearing up the debris and remov-
ing dangerous walls. The city shows a
scene OF great activity"
STUDY FOR SCIENTISTS.
LONDON, Sept. 8.--At a meeting of the
British association yesterday, prior to the
opening oil business, there was a good
deal OF conversation about the earthquake
IN America, lnqulrlng spirits tried to
draw out Principal Dawson as to whether
the event had modified his opinion on

CHARLESTON, s. @ Sept. S.-The stu
alton Is still deplorable. Rudely impro-
vised tents, constructed principally of
bed clothing, are to be seen everywhere
Few persons have as yet slept Indoors
and the houses are deserted. Thousands
slept with nothing but tho canopy OF
heaven above. After the parks and squares
were iilied last night the inhabitants sus-
pended oyercoots, bed quilts, etc, from
the fences over the sidewalks, and thus
passed the night Many enjoyed repose
under omen umbrellas, the handles of
which were stuck In the ground. The
more aristocratic people camped In their
own yards. The colored people say they
