wiped out. and so far advices received here
indicate that hardly city In the country ex-
cept those along the coast, escaped the awful
effects Of the convulsion. At o'clock in
the morning the earth began to shake. Peo-
pie rushed into the streets in their night
clothing. and while the shock lasted only 20
seconds, before 1t had passed away there
was panic-stricken mob making its way to
the open country outside of the city. Men.
women and children were shriekIng and
praying In the streets. The walls of the
houses, cracked, tottered and fell. There
was deep, continuous rumbling like heavy
tnunder, the sky was overcast and the air
was nlled with line penetrating dust.
while the shock lasted the earth rose and
fell In long wares, and strong men were una

morning there had been slight shocks. but
none approaching in intensity that which

SALEM, Mass, September 1O.-Mr. Ray
mond L. Newcomb Of this city. one Of the
survivors Of the Inflated Jeanette, In an In
terview this forenoon regarding Psary's ex.
peditlon to the Arctic region. said: ~ do
not know the commander Of this Arctic ex-

with the blunders Of comparatively recent
American Arctic expeditions so forclbIy IL
lustrated, Is willing to be landed at McCOf-
mick bay, Greenland, with his wife to suffer
with him, on that boreal shore through an
Arctic winter. What can a broken-legged
man do In such place? 1t Is unfortunate
Judgment to consent to leave anyone under
such circumstances, and the Individual who
Is willing to be thus cut OIL, crippled and de-
pendent upon others, who will need all their
energies, lacks discretion TO a considerable
extent. There Is no necessity for such sac
rifice Of comfort, and life. perhaps.
Enough has been done In wasting
money and human lives to demonstrate TO
all sober thinking persons that such a
scheme cannot amount to sufficient practical
results to warrant the risks. Enthusiasm
and inexperience have already cost dear
enough in explorations north Of the Arctic
circle. III the ends Of science are to be an
swered then one Of the safest ways Is by In
ternational cooperation on the colonization
plan, which, Of course, must cost money. To
my mind" concluded Mr.. Newcomb, "the

In point OF scientific value, and hence OF val
ne to the world, In marked contrast to the
Peary expedition"

route to the mountains would write or call
upon the company's officials saying that
their baggage had been wretchedly treated,
and that diamond ring, pin, chain, or some
thing equally priced was not to be found.
The result was that settlements were effect
ted with the complainants on money basis.
FINALLY. General Manager Fulber put de-
tective on the case and, as the story is told
In an evening paper. this officer found the
wife of a baggage master at Wells River,
Vermont. wearing much valuable jewelry,
some of which answered to the description
OF lost articles for which the road had settled
with indignant travellers. AS a result Of the
detectives work, frederick 3. Barrie, the
baggage master, has been arrested, charged
with robbing trunks. Before be was arrest.

ring, two silver button hooks, bracelet with
silver dollar and gold trinkets attached, a
gold shawl pin, gold locket, band ring, a
beautiful pearl crescent pin, a heavy gold
bracelet and other small articles, surely

Besides the above, which aggregates many
hundred dollars, Mrs. Barrie gave up two
revolvers previously paid for by the road
to the amount OF S18). waman's black lace
cape. pair Of trusers, table cover, bed spread,
skirt. shawl, a silk scarf, woman's under
vest, feather fan, two fancy silk-bags and a
large number of small goods. The aggregate

THOSE LABOR DAY RACES.
Portland Harbor the Scene Of Several
Good Contests.


The races postponed from Labor Day were
rowed in the harbOr yesterday. At A O'Clock
Matthew O'BrioD, who acted as referee,
went aboard the steamer Fanny G. and
steamed out from the wharf of the Inter.
national Steamboat Company. He was ac-
companied by President Mark Courant, oi
the Central Labor Union, the newspaper
men and few others. Joe Randall acted as
time keeper.
Thomas Z. Quinn, Mark G. Davis and
Timothy Mccarthy entered for the first race
and were started by Mr.. O'Brlon. They
took water well together at "go," and
started well punched for the row over what
was called the two mile course. AS a mat
ter OF fact tho course was little short of
two miles. Davis got slight lead soon
after the start. and Mccarthy fell behind,
and 1t was soon to be seen, was not In It.
Davis did not have lead enough when three
fourths down the course to make victory by
any means sure. Then Davis made the
mistake Of rowing too far out. and lost some
time rowing In. Quinn. on the other hand
kept first class stake boat course. DAVIS

the S. E. Spring, and for time there was a
very close and exciting struggle. Davis
spuited at the last and won the race, but
Quinn was very close contestant. Davis got
first prize. and his time was reported as 1415.
The second race was between A. A.
Frates. John E. Quinn and Timothy Nc
Carthy. Quinn was rather too much out of
wind to row well, but he and Mccarthy
were twice well together. Frates had the first
place from the start, and rowed slowly over
the course. He made rather poor turn at
the stake boat and on the return more than
once there was shock Of doubt whether
Quinn might not get second place. Ae was
beaten, but with only small marGin to the
good. Mccarthy went over the line and
TOOK second money. Time, 10 minutes, 81

The Vessels of Walkers Squadron
Will Soon Separate.

WASHINGTON, September 1O.-Tne Squad
ron Of Evolution, or the White Squadron,
which has attracted so much attention
throughout this country and Europe, is to be
dlsbanded. This afternoon Secretary Tracy
issued orders TO the chiefs Of bureaus In the
Navy Department directing ithem to make
the necessary arrangements for preparing
for sea service two vessels Of the squadron.
the Yorktown and the Petrol.
The Petrol, one OF the smaller vessels, will
go to China by way Of the Mediterranean
Sea and Suez Canal. Her small size makes
her especially fitted for the China station,
enabling her to cruise in many Of the rivers
for considerable distance. The York
town, gunboat, will be assigned to the Pa
cific, but her headquarters have not been
definitely determined. She will probably be
stationed at San Francisco, ready for any
service on the western coast Of this cOun-
try, Central America and South America.
Another order issued today, transfers the
Boston and Atlanta from Admiral Walkers
squadron to Admiral Gherardi's command,
the North Atlantic squadron. This leaves
the two squadrons equally balanced In num-
Der OF vessels.

ARE awaiting on the border of the new1and,

dreds more are on the way. The exodus
from the South, especially from Arkansas
and Texas, has been well organized. There
are very few negroes in the South, who have
not heard Of the beautiful country where the
government Is giving away farm to every
black man who will come. The negroes
seem to have the idea that the land Is for
their race alone"
Several carloads Of Illinois and Kentucky
