Awful Result of a Volcanic Eruption In
E Japan.
SAN Francisco, CAR, Aug. 13.-The
steamer City of Sidney, which has just ar
rived from Hong Kong and Yokohama,
brings through Japanese Journals particu
lars of the volcanic eruptions of Bandai San
July Is. Details of the catastrophe come
in somewhat disjointed form The Choya
Shimbun dispatched a special reporter
to the scene. According to his account
the Villages round Bandai Sal heard
strange rumbling sounds and felt
shocks of earthquake from July 13
These phenomena continued intermit-
tedly for two days and nights,
but not being attended by any
serious result no great disquietude was
felt. The 18th, at about o'clock, the
smaller Bcndai San trembled and roared
as though 100 thund er- storms were
combined. Although Immediately after
wards ashes began to fall, the sky
suddenly grew dark, and the rumbling
sounds continued, accompanied by
violent earthquake shocks and the flare of
dazzling flames. The crest of the smaller
Bandai San appeared to be lifted
upward and then to fall again
with tremendous noise. Then fol-
lowed showers of red mud, mingled
with large stones, spreading havoc around
In five villages, Iwase, Yosan, Wakam
iva, Misato and Hibara, the greater part of
the houses were buried to depth of from
seven to twenty feet The state of the
bodies recovered was terrible. Some were
literally cut to pieces. Others were par
boiled, so that it was scarcely possible to
distinguish between men and women. A
few corpses were found suspended in the
branches Of trees which had caught them
as they fell Up to the 18th the number of
bodies recovered was 476 1t is believed that
sixty-one are still entombed. The wound
ed number forty-on Eighty-seven
houses have been destroyed. The inhab-
itants of Mawashiro and adjacent vii
lagos fed to Wakamatsu and other places
when the eruptions occurred
A fair summary of the result of the
eruption is as follows: Killed, 500;
wounded, 700; homeless and destitute,
1900. Four villages are buried in lava.

His Idea of Local Self-Government for
Ireland in 1885.
LONDON, Aug. 14-Mr. Parnells scheme
of local self-government for Ireland, to
which Mr.. Chamberlain refers in his letter
to the Times, has been made public. A
synops is as follows:
1t proposes to create county boards to be
elected by rate-rayers biennially, these boards
to levy county rates and administer all county
business. 1t further proposes that each
county board and municipality, according
to population, elect representatives to a
central board at Dublin, which sha / man
age all public departments and levy
taxes for public works and for guarantees and
subsid es to puplic enterprises 1t would be
entitled to borrow money from the treasury
for the purposes sanctioned by law and to
grant loans to owners and occupants of lands
subject to the consent and regulations of
the treasury. 1t would have the power to
ask Parliament for contributions from the
imperial exehequcr not exceeding the proper
ton of such contributors to the rates granted
for similar purposes in England. 1t would
have control over all public endowments for
educational purposes in Ireland and over the
unapplied balance of the Ir sh church fund,
now in keeping of the land commission
ers. When either the county boards or the
central board should exercise the right of
compulsorily taking on lease or pur.
chasing land in order to enlarge holdings,
or to supply other holdings to tenants
in congesed districts, the valuation for the
lease or purchase might be left to the land
commissioners. There would be no appeal
from the central board, except on the question
of legal power, and such appeal would be
finally decided by the Supreme Court of APP
peal The cen: raj board would also be author
lied to delegate any OF its powers 10 com.
mittee and to appoint president and other
employees to administer them.
The scheme further provides that land-own-
ers shall have representation on both the coun-
ty and central boards in proportion to the rates
aid by them, and suggests that landlords and
tenants may hold separate elections to secure
