Burlington and Missouri River surveying
party, which has been running lines
through the Sinking Water country In

body and undertook the perilous enterprise
of running a line through the Big Horn

Nothing has been heard from them SINCE
and the other members of the party have
almost abandoned all hopes of ever seeing
them again. Except in winter, when the
river is frozen over, there is not any in
stance on record of any one travelling
through this terrible rent in the mountains

four shells being exploded at each vol

shower fell, and as the clouds passed
away to the southwest the rain was
seen to be falling in torrents OYER

The Earth Trembled.

Three almost continuous vibrations or
an earthquake, oscillating from east to
west, were felt one n ght recently in
parts of illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, and Kentucky. At st Louis tho
shock was quite severe, and buildings
were shaken violently People were,
aroused by the disturbance and rushed
in terror, half clad, to the street 1t is
said by many that the shock felt there
was similar to that experienced on the
night of the memorable Charleston dis
aster. TIE shock lasted two minutes.
Considerable crockery and glassware
was demolished, and some wooden sta
bles on the outskirts of the city toppled
ever Buildings facing the north and
south were vsibly affc tied by the shock.
The shock was distinctly felt at In
annapolis, and while reports as to its
duration differ the best information says
it lasted at least eight seconds
Louisville, Ky, lad good shaking,
and, although no serious damage was
done, it caused cons. derable excitement

come At the Gait House and other
notes the DellS were FunB, water lbtu-
ers were overturned in the upper stories,
and guests came hurrying downstairs
in panic, it requiring much persuasion
to induce the more timid to return to

fered a slight loss fAom broken bottles
and prematurely mixed drugs.
In the residence part of the city the
shock caused much alarm, the people,
rushing into the street, and when the
shock subsidized formed long ranks of ex-l
cited groups anxiously discussing the
probabilities of recurrence of the
quake No casualties occurred any
where in the city, and no damage of con-.
sequence WIS suffered by buildings The,

Three separate shocks were plainly
felt at Keokuk, Iowa. They followed
closely upon each other, and the vibra-
tion lasted fully one minute in each case.
The direction appeared to be from
southeast to northwest, and Suspended
electric lights swayed sharply. No dam
age was done. The shock appears to
have been general throughout South

At Evansvil e, Ind, one prolonged

vest Parade.
The harvest festival at Minneapolis had
an ideal fall day for its celebration The
buildings were buried in bunting, and many
of them were covered with sheaves Of wheat
bound in fantastic forms. Arches of wheat
spanned many of the streets On Tenth
street thousands of flour barrels formed the
base of the display. On top Of these stood
sheaf of wheat, while stacks Of grain
were placed upon the supporting barrels.
There were sixty of these pillars along the
street From pillar to pillar was suspended
a festoon of white cloth, while similar fes-
toons intersected the streets, and others we're
strung from pillar to pillar across the
street. The procession contained over one
thousand floats. The lumbermen had an
immense affair showing their trade in all
its processes, from the 1oggers at work in
the forest to the sawmill which cuts the
lumber in operation on the float.

Out of all the contradictions of recent

fact is apparent that the harmony of the
European world has not during recent
years been in greater peril Uhan it is at
this hour.-New York Recorder.
That the Sultan is endeavoring to pla-
cate France is evident from his bestowal
of decorations upon the French Foreign
Minister at COnstantinople; and that
there is secret understanding between
France and Russia is within the posi-.
bilities. But sympathy with Turkey
simply means that France has still a
longing eye upon Egypt, and that Rus
STA will cease no effort which might en-
able her to reach Constantinople, and
thus secure the key to Asia. -Philadel-

If the Porte wants to know what Eng
land means, it is proper to say she means
to control the Daro anelles and to pre-
vent Russia from obtaining any foothold
thereon. AS long as Turkey can qua, d
the straits in safety Eng and will not
interfere, but the instant the Turk fall
tiers in that impel ative duty England
will tal1esit from the weak hands Of the

Russia means, as she has always
meant, to get possession of Constanti-
nople by force or by dicker if she can.
England's continuance in the list OF first
rate powers and her retention of her
Indian possessions depend upon her sue
cess in preventing the accomplishment
of this purpose. So long as the Turk
guards the pass faithfully, England is
content to leave him on post as SEN
try, but she gives notice alike to Russia
and Turkey that if need shall arise she
will take that post herself. New York
