" tainsd-spain Visited by Floods.
New YORK, Sept. 1o.-A cable dis
patch to The Herald from San Salvador
says: Millions Of dollars worth Of prop
erty and many lives were destroyed in
this republic by earthquake. Whole
towns were wiped out and hardly city
IN the country, except those along the
coast escaped the awful effects Of the
.convulsion. There have been indica-
ions for several days past that q dis
turbanoe of more than unusual power
might be expected. At just 1:55 4. m.
the earth began to shake. The wave
had . STRONG vertical and oseillatory
movsment. People rushed into the
.sssaassts afthsir night oaptlass.: nd while.
the shock lasted only twenty seconds,
bef0re it had passed away there was
panic stricken mob making its way to
the open country sutside tho city. The
scene: was terribly sublime. Men,
women and children were weeping,
shriehng and praying in the streets;
walls Of houses cracked, tottered and
fell; there was a deep continuous rum
bling as of heavy thunder; the sky was
overcast, and the air was filed with q
fine, penetrating dust. While the shock
lasted the earth
Rose and Fell in Long Waves,
and strong men were unable to Keep
their feet. The panic stricken people
fed to the open country outside Of the
city, and temporary shelters were thrown
up wherever possible, but nearly all the
men and . great many Of the women
and children had only the sky for a COW
ering. All through the morning there
were slight shocks, but none approach
ing the intensity Of that which had been
so destructive. The inhabitants are
afraid to return to their houses, and are
making themselves as comfortable as
possible in their temporary camps. Pres
ident Ezeta is doing everything he can
to stop the panic and care for the home
less people until 1t ls considered safe tor
them to 60 back to their homes. The
towns throughout the country have suf-
fered more severely than the capital
even.
Comasagua Was Completely Destroyed.
Cojutepeque, Santa Tecla, San Pedro
and Masah were so badly shaken that
they are practically ruined, while the
shock was plainly felt and damage done
by it at Santa Ana and Susimtepeque,
fully sixty miles from here. It is i'm
possible at this writing to form any idea
as to the number of lives which have
been lost. Two people were killed here,
though there were many miracu-
lous escapes from death. It is feared,
however, that there have been many
people killed in tho smaller towns. The
loss Of property will run well into the

Aspectator, viewing the sun from
distant point in space, would perceive
that its brilliancy was slightly increased
once In about every eleven years. These
accesdons of light should correspond,
not with the periods of tewest spots, but
with those Of most spots, because the
energy Of the SUMS radiation is greatest
during the spot maxima. At present
sun spot maximum is approaching, and
since last winter the face Of the sun has
frequently exhibited startling indica-
tions Of the tremendous disturbances
now affecting the solar globe. Our

IrIshmen I'm Session at Chicago.

Probably the most important public
gathering Of the Irish race ever held this
side of the Atlantic began at Chicago last
week. Ii was the convention OF the Irish
National League of America and OF socie-
ties and individuals throughout the Tn ted
States and Canada in sympathy with that
organization. Central music hall, which
has witnessed many a stirring historic
scene in the Irish movement for nation
mood, looked down last Thursday morning
upon scores Of Enthusiastically Celtic faces
aglow with anticipation Of what might
prove the most significant proceedings yet
witnessed by their countrymen in IA grave
national crisis. The assembling of the
delegates simultaneously with the great
conference of Gladstone's adherents at
Newcastle, England, preparatory 10 a gen.
eral election in Great Britain. was regard
ed by many as something more than a coin
dcnce. The first incident attracting gen
eral attention was an outbreak of hearty
cheering which greeted the appearance on
the stage of DR.. Thomas O'Reilly of St.
Louis. Secretary John II. Sutton caused
a sensation at the very outset. He had
called the convention 10 order, and when
the cheering greeting his appearance sub
sided proceeded TO read the call. express
ing regret at the absence through illness OF
President John Fitzgerald and Vice Presi-
dent Patrick Martin OF Baltimore.
