The work of excavatin9 at the scene of tbs
landslide is still going on Many are s,il
missing and are said to be beneath the ruins
including a number of children. The los.
sustained by the surviving victim,
, of the disaster is very great. Some work

furniture and other effects even their sum
mer earnings and many are lef, virtual,
pen1iless at the commence ement of a Canadi-

removed to Hotel Dieu where they vii
receive all possible care and attention.
Fourteen dead bodies have been removed
from the debris of the landslide and twenty
four wounded. The work of rescung the
victims IS going on vigorously.
Members Of the Black family were buried
twelve feet below the surface. Being asked
il they were safe, Mrs Black answered
My husband is killed at the door, the rest
are safe, but suffering from wounds and
bruises on our limbs"
Shortly after Miss May Caldwell, niece OF
Mr.. Black, was extrica,e1 from Blacks
house. Her limbs were so stiff from mac.
ton that the least touch caused excrucating
pain.
The scene is being visited by thousands
who block up the narrow street and make il
difficult for any one to move in any direc-
tion.
The shipping office in the Dominion gov
ernmeut building has been turned into tenn
porary morgue and over twenty bodies now
lie in it.
1t is difficult TO identify some OF them
they are so distgured and crushed. Several

Preparations are being made for the
funerals of the killed, who will be buried at
the joint expense of the citizens and local
government. Among those buried by the
rocks are Il young couple named Nolan. mar
ried few weeks ago Nolan could have
escaped, but lost his life trying TO get his
wife out Of the house. II is thought that the
Kings bastiou on the citadel will have TO be
removed, as II is so near the edge Of the rock
with unsafe crevices in front of il. As a
precautionary measure all communication
with the bastion has been cut off and the
morning aud evening guqs no longer can be
fired fromit
About twenty thousand persons visited the
scene of the dI aster during the day. II was
decided to use powder to break up the huge
bouliers covering the road way. There can
be othing living beneath them.
The horrors of this dreadful day are still
succeeding each other While the workers
were busy clearing away the debris of the
crumhied buildings, faint groans were heard
at intervals from under huge pile of rocks,
The efforts OF the volunteers were concen-
trafed to that point aud after three hours of
hard work the bleeding body of Joe kempe
was extricated from the mass of rock. The
poor man is IN most piiabe condition. He
his vile holy vas taken ont of the wreck.
Her head eas alnpst severed from the body
Further away was the corpse of youag
woman, Mrs. Lauspn who had been admired
in her lifetime for her beauty. Her body
was crushed almost Hat. Shortly after
viewing her remains her husband became a
ravng maniac and it is doubtful if he will
| recover his reason. A man named Michael
Bradley, who had gone almost crazy when
told that all his family had persisted in the
land slide, discovered while working over
the wreck of his house his five-year-oli
daughter still alive. His JOY vas indiscrib
able It is thought the child will live Up
to this time the number of corpses found
are twenty five and number of wounded

| At meeting of the city government To-
night 5000 was voted to the relief of the
sufferers. report was read from engineer

custom of ''summering." but their coach
and chasseur, which created such SEN
sation last winter, are still here. The
coach was drawn up before the state de-
partment the other day, and from 1t
alighted Mr.. Mumm Won Schwarzenstein,
secretary of legation. Mr.. Mumm Won
Schwarzenstein, though learned and
estimable gentleman, Is. after all, mere
clerk, but as he was on business with the
state department, the German notion OF
etiquette required him to use the lega-
ton carriage.
The footman, who descended from the
box to open the carriage door for the
secretary, was so gorgeously attired that
a crowd collected and stared at him for
half an hour. The chasseur wore gaudy
livery, resplendent with gold and lace.
II must have been n very uncomfortable
suit for hot day, as dark blue cloak
of broadcloth. with double row Of gilt
buttons down its front, enveloped the
entire figure. But the chasseur sat inn

tered the literary world. His family
cast him off. When he was 90 years old
he published his first volume of poems.
During the succeeding eight years his
name was signed to ten more books OF
poetry and thirty dramas. Then his
father died without forgiving him for
his disobedience, and without mention
ing him in his will. Then Jose went to
Paris. 1t was there he began his
"Granada," an epic in which are immor-
talized the wonderful traditions and
legends of the southern kingdom. Finan-
cial ill luck followed him. His agent
became bankrupt, his poem was pirated.
He became discouraged and did not
finish his epic, of which he had already
issued two volumes.
The next twelve years were spent in
Mexico, where the talented Spaniard was
honored by the patronage of Emperor
Maximilian. At the end of that rulers
short and stormy reign the poet returned
to his own country and managed by ex-
erting himself to his utmost to keep
body and soul together. Two years OF
salaried position under the government
followed and then he became for a time
a successful lecturer. Finally he was
granted pension by the government.
After that mark OF recognition he
went back to Valladolid, the city of his
birth, and lived the life of a recluse I'M
i'll called from his retirement to receive
this last tribute of the honor and love of
his country, just as the sun of his life is
beginning to sink behind the mountains
of old age.

western plains of America. They also
come from the south, not from the north
west, as in Kansas, because the desert is
to the south. Starting from far down in
Africa they move steadily on in resistless
clouds toward the shores of the Medi-
terranean-every year they do some
damage and some years they produce
famine
In the French provinces of Algeria
aud Tunis the people commenced fight
ing them in the ordinary Kansas method
of whipping back" but accomplished
little. The government then organized
a sort of militia to meet them on the
desert, before their wings grew; natural
ravines were taken advantage of, and
