WASHINGTON, D. G., Nov. Ga telc-
gram from the Japanese government
has to-day been received by Mr.. Tateno,
the japanese Minister, giving an ac-
count OF the earthquake which occurred

tho procedures OF Aichi and Giiu, the
former OF which is on the sea, about
10 miles IRON Toxic, and the latter i'm
mediately west. Nasoya is the. chief
city in Aichi prefecture and has 4 pop
ulation OF 100000. There are no very
large cities in Gifu prefecture. No men
ton is made OF any damage in any
other parts OF Japan. According 10 the
telegram received by Mr.. Tateno, $500
persons were killed, 5000 were injured,
5000 houses were totally DESTROYED
and l2,C00 badly damaged.

THE DISTILLERY PLOT.

CHICAGO. Feb. 12.-Charles J. Gibson,
the secretary of the whisky trust, who was
arrested here Yesterday. left for Cleveland
last night In an interview before leaving
he SAID:
This is a damnable plot to ruin me, but
it will fail. Ny attorneys have instructed
me to say nothing: but | will say this: L
am innocent of any crime"
One of the government officers who has
been working on the case said: beware
has been carrying with him for the last
two weeks an internal machine, consisting
of a small box about the size OF an oyster
can. in which is filed "A section Of gun
barrel, from the open end "f wnlcn pro
trudes steel bullet. Behind the bullet
is a heavy charge of powder. a small
tube runs into the open end OF the gun
barrel. beware was TO pour some of the
infIammabie fluid into the tube and place
the box on the floor under a large vat of
high wines in the distillery, with the bull
let directed upward. On exposure tc the
air the chemical would ignite and soon
cause the powder to explode. The bullet
yvnuld be driven through the bottom of
the vat, and the spirits pouring down on
the flames, would ignite the whole build
ing"
|, was about the 1Oth of January when
Gibson delivered the explosive TO beware,
and Gibson has daily been expecting news
of the carrying out OF the plot since the
10Th Gibson has written several letters TO
beware and sent him several kilograms.
All of these are in the possession of the
au uOhorities.
A Washington special says that Presi-
dent Greenhut, of the whisky trust, and
DIR. Rush, Of Chicago, who are there look
ing after legislative matters, say that they
are certain that there was nothing which
would involve the trust, whatever Gibson's
individual actions might have been. They
knew of nothing Gibson had been doing
which would not bear Investigation.
PEORIA. Ills, Feb 12.-George Gibson,
of the whisky trust, arrived here last
night from Chicago, and has been at the
trust Headquarters all day. He denies
that he is guilty of the charge brought
against him, and says that while he is not
ready to make public statement, when
he ferrets out the whole thing the affair
will have different aspect.

NOTES FROM FRISCO.

FRISCO, Ok, Feb. l2.- Special Frisco,
the queen city of the North Canadian val
ley. is now making a big fight for the
county seat of Canadian county FL Reno
is the strongest compet tor. II at the first
election no one place secures majority of
all the votes cast, there must be another
election called in twenty days to decide
between the two points having the larg-
est number of votes. A county seat fight
beats political contest in interest. Frisco
has got up big barbecue for Saturday,
February l4th, and TO couuteract this, El
Reno starts the report that the smallpox
has broken ont in Frisco So the fight
goes, and unless cool heads and conserva-
tive men go to the polls on the 17th day
of February, and see that the people have
a fair vote and a fair count, there will be
bloodshei before the matter is settled.
The Republican party will not mite
until the county seat question IS settled
If Frisco gets the county seat. there will
be splendid opening here for all kinds Of
business, as the town will have boom on
solid foundation. We are hoping for
two roads from Kansas TO Galveston,
which will pass through the territory, aud
one of them will be very likely to pass
through Frisco. There are small towns
being started on the Chcctaw railroad, and
Canadian county win soon be one OF the
richest IN the territory.

Al AckA SEAL Z

WAsHINGToS, Feb. 12-In answer to q
| senate resolution the acting secretary of
the treasury has sent to the senate mass
of reports and statements from the treas.
ury agents. Goff. Lavender, Nettleton
and Murray, and Superintendent Tingle,
of the North American Commercial COM
pany, exhibiting the number OF seals
| taken for various purposes, the condition
of the native population OF the seal is. audS
and other items of importances- In report
made October 1890, Agent Lavendar says
that there was no sealing schooners about
| the islands, and that the rookeries W ould
be emptied for the season in two weeks.
| He appeals for arms and ammunition for
the Indians 10 use In protecting the rock
cries. He speaks of the necessity for issu-
ing supplies of fuel 70 the natives. and pre-
diets that the islands will be depopulated
in few years unless the government aids
| the natives as the few seals they will bs
able TO kill will not keep them from suf-
feriug. He says that schooDers will fot
low the seal into Bering sea very early II
| the spring
In his report Agent Nettleton refers q
| the deplorsble condition OF the seal grounds
at st. Paul, and says that she driving ans
re-driving from all of the hauling grOunos
| by the lessees during the season, In thf
! efforts to obtain their quest, ana ths
| meagre results attained, tell IN strOul
Ian guage the sad story of the very neal
| approach of the entire destruction Of sea-
| life upon the island.
Agent Goff also speaks at length of the
/ diminution of the seal catches, and SAYS
that the many preying evils on seal life
the killing of seals at sea and in the passes
| by pirates, and indiscriminate slaughter
upon the islands has reduced the rookerie:
to the present impoverished condition. He
recommends absolute protection, and says
There should be no killing of seals fol
their skins on the islands nor in The wa
| ters of Bering sea for an indefinite mum
Der of years, to be named by the secretary
of the treasury and let nature Rake hel
| course in replenishiug the rOokeries." He
says that the means of subsistence of the
natives have been totally destroyed, and
their future is only what the charity ol
the government will make it, as there Is
utterly nothing here upon which they can
depend for livelihood until the much
wished for return of seals takes place, an
event too far in the future to give even q
promise of better times TO these unfortun'
ate people.

of the Baltimore and Ohio

BALTIMORE, Feb. 12.-It is reported that
Jay Gould has an option on the Baltimore
and Ohio. The absence from this city of
all the railroad officers, who are now on a
tour of inspection. makes 1t impossible
here to get information or contradiction of
the statement from them.
PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 12.-President Rob
erts, of the Pennsylvania Railroad com
pany, was away from the city today; but
Mr.. William A. Patton, his private secre-
tary. was seen in regard to the reported
combination formed by Jay Gould of the
southern and western roads, aud the con-
sequent divertment from the Pennsylvania
Railroad company of large part of its
traffic in those sections of the country.
Mr.. Patton was inclined to be very reti-
cent, and declined to express an opinion
until the absolute truth in regard to the
reported combination was learned.
