CHICAGO, Ill, Oct. 2S.--W. A Bowen

No Signs of Harmony in Indiana.

A report has been sent out from Indiana
in a very sensational manner that Judge
Gresham's friends declare that there viii
not be any opposition, but that they intend
to send out delegation from Indiana favor
ing the denomination OF President Harri-
son. Senator Farwell, who is one of Judge
Gresham's leading friends, denounCes the
story, and Judge Gresham himself says:
There is no foundation for the statement.
l have entered into no agreement or under
standing with the president or any of his
friends. No friend of mine was authorized
TO make such an agreement for me, and L
am confident no such agreement has been
made" So it seems this is lie pure and
simple, started out by some of the Harrison
boomers, with the knowledge that it was
false, bit with the belief that a lie is swift
footed and will travel faster than the truth.

ATcH1soN, KAN, Oct. 2s.-The express
car of the Central branch train No. 43 was
robbed at Lenora Junction after midnight
this morning. George Garner, the express
messenger, runs from Downs to Lenora.
When the train arrives at Lenora he per-
forms the duties of brakeman and helps
the crew in switching, the conductor usually
remaining in the express car. When
the train arrived at Lenora at
1925 this morning Garner hurried
out to help switch the train,
leaving the conductor in the car AS the
car passed the station the conductor
alighted to transact some business and the
car was then left alone. When the train
was ready to proceed on its way again the
express messenger discovered that the safe
was missing. 1t is supposed that while the
car was being switched robbers entered it
and threw out the safe, carried it to a wa
gon which they had in waiting and made OFF
with it. The safe is supposed to have con-
tanned a large amount of money. There is
no clew TO the robbers.

All Due to Egan's Misconduct.

Special to the Gazette
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The presence OF
Egan is constant source of irritation TO
the Chilians. They regard his retention in
his present position as an dication of a
hostile feeling on the part of the United
States. If all they charge against Egan in
connection with the civil war in Chill
is true the Chi!ians undoubtedly have
reason for their hostile feeling against
him ana naturally against the country
which sustains him in the position of its
accredited representative. The ChiliaDS
claim when the CongressionaliSts made 4
sudden move on Valparaiso the Baltimore
observed and reported to Ecan the
movements of the Congressionalist feet
and that Egan reported at once to
Balmaceda, thereby giving him some time
for preparation. making the task of the
CongresSionalist forces more difficult and
involving greater loss of life than would have
occurred otherwise. If this was the case, or
if it is true that there is 4 general belief in
the story among the Chilians, it very nearly
dispOses of the suggestion that the sailors
of the Baltimore were killed in an ordi-
nary drunken fight 1t furnishes special
reason for the hostile feeling against
the Baltimore. 1t is clearly shown by the
reported utterances of the representative of
the junta here that the most unfriendly
feeling toward the United States prevails
i'll Chilli, and 1t all appears to be based upon
the alleged conduct of Egan.

Earthquake in Japan.

LONDON. Oct 2S-DispatcheS were re-
ceived here this evening from Japan am
nouncing that the telegraph wires beyond
Hiogo and Osaka were down. 1t was added
that there had been an earthquake at
Hiogo, and 4 rumor was current that a
great amount of property had been de-
stroyed and that the loss of life had been
considerable. Hiogo is a seaport town Of
Japan on the island of Hondo, and is sit
uated about twenty-five miles by rail from
Osaka. Hiogo is fine harbor at the
head of the Gulf of Osaka, and is
adjacent to Kobe The seaport referred TO
has an extensive foreign and coastwise
trade, and population, in 1884, of about
four hundred and one thousand souls.
Osaka is also on the island of Hondo and
on the sea thirty-seven miles southwest Of
kisto, to which place, as well as 20 Hiogo
and Kobe, railways have been built. Osaka
has a population. according to the census
of 1854, of about three hundred and fifty
thousand. a private telegram dated Hiogo
received in this city tonight confirms the
report conveyed in former kilograms th.t a
disastrous earthquake shock had occurred
il Japan. This telegram says a severe
shock was experienced at OSAKA, and that
the destruction both of life and property
was very great. So severe was
the shock that number Of
houses were thrown to the ground and
many Of the occupants were caught in the
falling buildings and crushed to death. A
large number of persons succeeded in es-
Gaping from their totterlng homes only to
meet death in the streets, to which they
had fed for safety, from the falling debris.
There is no means al present OF
estimating the total loss of life,
in fact, the details of the catastrophe
and very meager, as all telegraph wires are
broken in the districts affected by the fall
ing of poles, which were thrown down by
the seismic disturbance. The above mem
toned private dispatch, however, states
that it is known that i'll Osaka alone the
death list contains the names of over 800
residents of that city.
