GRANTS TOMR

NEW YORK Oct. 3l-The work OF NOV
ing General Grants tomb at Riverside
park frolI its old site o a new one, twenty
five feet north aud nine feet west of ITS
original positi = is progressing slowly
but SATISFACTORY Since the beginning oil
thu on o. the tomb has, by
r1eans of .ydraulic pumps and giant jack
WIS, been hoisted, foundation and all,
fifteen feet into the air, and has been slid
laterally on three huge creased beams
over another nine feet.
1t has sen ticklish job. this moving,
md the primary excavations would have
.ruck an outsider AS exceedingly perilous.
But the danger is over now, and the we'll
known arch of red brick, with it's fourteen
inches of solid concrete foundation, IN all
weighing over 100 tons, rests safe and
sound on a solid framework of immense
cross timbers fifteen feet above its old bed.
There only remains another fifteen feet 70
get over and the tomb will rest ten feet
higher than its original position on its
new site. Side pressure of the jackscrews
will probably accomplish this by late To-
morrow night
The moving of the tomb has no means
hindered the laying of the foundations OF
the mausoleum. Day and night gangs in
all numbering 100 m-n, ar hard at work
on the four concrete piers. They are
twenty feet below the grade, which Is l3L
feet above the level Of the Hudson river,
and are composed of fifteen feet of Rnsen-
dale cement, the same brand that was
used for the Brooklyn bridge, and five feet
of Portland cement. Seven ecu hundred
Yards of this concrete has been laid in the
last eight days.

s0uIH AMERICAN EXHIBITS.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31-Every country
south of he Gulf of Mexico and the Rio
Grande has accepted the invitation TO take
part in the worlds fair, and the approprl-
atoms by these countries far exceed those
made by the states of the Uni ell States
for the same purpose, with the exception
of Illinois Mr.. William b. Curtis OF rye
bureau of American republics, says t.
President Diaz will spend SO, UpO o. the
Mexican exhibit; Guatemain has appro-
priated $50. 900 for the erection of build
ing and 100000 to pay the expenses OF her
exhibit; Salvador has appropriated SSoO Y;
the senate of Nicaragua has voted SoO,JU .
and in the chamber of deputies there Is
now a contest going on TO prevent the re-
duction of this sum to S30,OO0.
Little Costa RIGA has appropriated SlOO,-
000-more money in proportion to her pop
uIation than has been allowed by any
her country on earth. Colombia has APP
propriated $l0O,000 Ecuador 500 600.
Peru has appropriated S25,00O for prellml-
nary expenses, and in the budget OF next
year Sl00, 900 more is provided for. BOLIVIA
has appropriated $4,000 Chilli 100000,
and the Argentine republic, notwith-
standing her financial depression, has APP
propriated 100000 No appropriation has
yet been made by Uruguay, but the con-
gress of that country has placed the ex-
hibit in charge of the Commercial and
agricultural society, which Is an orEaniza-
ton of merchants and planters, and they
will have a splendid representation.
The congress of Paraguay has authorized
the president of the republic TO spend
whatever money is necessary to secure
proper exhibit of its resources and pro-
ducts" The president of Brazil has asked
congress for $500, 900 on benalf of the gem
eral government, and the matter is now
pending, with a practical certainty of its
appropriation In addition TO this, the
several states of Brazil are making appro-
priations for their local exhibits, and the
aggregate amount expended by that re-
public at Chicago will approach $1,000,
COO. The Colony of Dutch Guiana has APP
propriated So 900; British Guiana, 10000;
the Island OF Trinidad, $4,000; Barbados,
$4,000; jamaica, $4,000; British Hon

LONDON, Oct. 3l.-A private dispatch re-
ceived here from Japan says that the loss
of life from the recent earthquake which
shook the island of Hondo and other places
is estimated to be very great. Over 1000
persons were killed and about is. eco houses
were destroyed in the province of Nagoya
on the island of Hondo, the capital of
which is Nagoya, city of 10000 inhab-
itants. In addition to the foregoing, 5000
houses were destroyed and 5000 persons
were killed by the earthquake at Giafu
The towns of Kano and Kasamatsu are al
so reported to have been destroyed, to-
gether with fifty miles of railroad. 1t is
presumed that the fire which started
among the wrecked buildings at Nagoys,
as already cabled, may have had great
deal to do with the great loss of life, which
is announced by the private message men
toned. AS the loss of life at kano and at
Kasamatsu is not mentioned, and as these
towns are said to have been destroyed. it
is estimated here that the total loss of life
may eventually be shown to be over 10000
Additional advices confirm the news that
there have been many wrecks about the is
land of Hondo, as one of the consequences
of the terrible disturbance. The severance
of telegraphic communication with the
death visited districts continues to prevent
accurate details being gathered as TO the
extent of the calamity.

an agreement with some of the western
roads whereby industries located on the
lines of those roads thin the city limits
are to get the benefit of the Chicago rates
on all freight shipped eastward. Hereto
fore these Industries have been compelled
to pay an extra rate (often as high AS 20.

of the city on an equal basis, whether
located near an eastern road or not.
1t is generally admitted that the Grand
Trunk has had sufficient provoeatlon ioI
its invasion, and the movement Will, nc
doubt be supported by the shippers, who
now have the privilege of the Chicago rate
from their warehouse doors. Should they
become greedy, however. and attempt &c
play one road against another, In order tC
gain still greater advantages, the result
will doubtless be speedy reconciliation
of all lines and a falling back TO the Ole
methods. The Graud Trunk has not with

clared it's independence.
