ENGLISH LIBERALS.
Meeting OF the National Federation
at Leeds.

LONDON, Nov. All the great lights Of the
liberal party were at Leeds yesterday in attend
ance upon the meeting of the National Liber-
al federation. Mr. Gladstone's health, how
ever, prevented his participation and he dele
gated Sir William Vernon Harcourt to act as
representative at the gathering. The number
of delegates in attendance was the largest in
the history of the federation, and strong hopes
are entertained that the result Of the meeting
will be restoration of party unity and the
re-cstablishment of a powerful liberal party
under Gadstone's leadership. The Gladstone
ties went to the meeting primei full Of recon-
Citation, and were willing to let by-gones be
by-gones and to join hands with the unionists
in support of Chamberain's modified scheme
for provincial councils in Ireland, or of Dub.
lin parliament with limited powers. Should
harmony be restored and an agreement be
reached which would commend itself to the
Parnen rarity, the lease of life of the present
administration would necessarily be limited un
less perchance the willy Randolph Churchill
should take the sails out of the liberal boat
by appropriating Its programme The most
intense anxiety to the outcome of the con-
ference is manifested by both liberal and
conservatives throughout the United
Kingdom, and all the leading papers east and
west devoted editorials to the subject yestcr-
day. The tories are naturally in surly mood
while the liberals are buoyant in the hope that
peace will once more prevail and the party raj
" once more rank and file under the leadership
aud banner of the grand old man. 1t is likely
to be an eventful week for Ireland and the
cause Of her liberty.
The conference Of the liberal leaders was
held at Leeds, with Mr.. Kitson, President Of
the National Liberal association, in the chair.
Mr. Kitson read report of the work of the as
ISOLATION since the last parliamentary elections
were held, which showed that despite the Sc
cession of Mr.. Chamberlain and his followers,
the National LIBERAL association had increased
by 100 associations throughout Great Britain.
resolution of confidence in Mr.. Gladstone
was carried by reclamation. Mr.. Morley, speak
ing Of the resolution of confidence In Mr..
Gladstone's leadership and re-afiirming the adj
herence of the liberal party to the home rule
battle, but the liberals remained staunch.
Something had been said In this conference
about adopting a course looking to the concil-
iation Of the disscntients, although it is said
il was better to leave them alone. The liberal
party could stand by its own policy. In con-
clusion, Mr. Morley said that he felt now more
than ever that they must meet the views Of the
Irish electors or they would never settle the
Irish question.

Two prominent German musicians
died recently within few days of each
other-thc violinist Hubert Ries and
the composer Julius Melchert. Ries.
who attained the age of So, received
his first musical instruction from his
father and became subsequently pupil
of Spohr and Hauptmann. In 1924 he
was appointed orchestral leader of the
Konigstadtisches theater of Berlin, and
in the following year he was promoted
to position in the Royal opera-house,
where he later became concert
mcister." Ries was in great demand
as musical instructor, and his quartet
evenings were in former years one Of
the musical features of Berlin. His
three sons, two of whom live in Lon
don, are likewise well-known must
clans. julius Melchert. who died on
the 18th of September in Hamburg, at
the age OF rs, was very popular rs a
composer of songs and orchestral
leader.

EARTHQUAKE SHOCK.
Charleston and Other Places on tho
Coast Again Disturbed.

CHARLESTON, s. c., Nov Ga shock OF
earthquake Of considerable severity was felt
here at 1897 P. NJ, yesterday. 1t was of if-
teen to twenty seconds duration.
During the earthquake shock which oc-
Cured here yesterday, at 1897 o'clock, all OF
the public schools were in session. At the
most Of the white schools the scholars stood
the shock pretty well, but at several of the
colored schools quite panic took place. At
the Bethel Church colored school, during the
rush which was made for the door, three
children were thrown down and trampeed
upon, and little girl who jumped out of a
window was seriously injured. In another of
the colorod schools several more of the schol-
ars we're injured by falling plastering. None
Of the injured, however, were fatally hurt.
The disturbance to-day was very severe at
Summerville and was sharply felt throughout
the state. Late telegraphic advices say that
1t was felt as far south as Savannah At Sa-
vannah there was considerable excitement and
one or two OF the public schools narrowly es-
capped panic. In this city no serious dam
age is renorted beyond the cracking of a few
brick walls and the tumbling down of few
cbimneys, To-days shock is variously esti-
mated at from IS to As seconds duration.
The direction Of the wave, from south to
north and the motion was compound char
acter, up and down and from side to side.
Although there has been no interruption to
business in consequence Of the disturbance,
there is manifested very general feeling of
nervousness, much more so than was the case
during the shocks Of two weeks ago. No fur
ther shocks to $3.50 P. NJ. The fears felt this
afternoon Of rise in the sea level on account
Of yesterdays shocks coming apparently from
the ocean, have been so far without realiza-
ton. 4
Advices from WATERFORD, Greenwood, Ches-
terrified, Lawrence, Abbeville and other points
10 the state indicate that the shock was more
severe in those places than at Charleston. At
WATERFORD 1t was so severe that the Circuit
Court, which was in session, adjourned with
out ceremony. Adispatch from Columbus, Ga,
saws that the shock was felt there but very
mildly.
