AN OVERWORKED MAN
The Comment of Those Who Saw
Gould in Wall Street.
He Was Deathly Pale-The Benefits OF His
Western Trip Seem to Have VAN
ished Already.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK. Sspt. 9.-The Recorder says
Jay Gould was in Wall street yesterday
the first time since his return from his
western trip, which extended over period
of seven weeks and during which time he
Travelled some ten thousand miles. His
appearance was deathly pale and his eyes
were sunken, his hands were tremulous
and his voice was quivering. He attended
meeting of the board of directors of the
Manhattan railway company lat II Broad
way in the morning and at its conclusion
walked to his Office in the Western Union
building. IAN overworked man." was the
comment of people who saw him. When
he stepped from his private car, the
Atlanta. Saturday morning he was con-
graduated on his improved looks. Three
Gays had wrought marvellous change in
him. Five years ago last January Mr..
Gould gave up business on account of his
health. The panic of last November and
the succeeding events drew Mr.. Gould
back into the financial maelstrom. His
physical powers were gone, however. The
trip to the west followed. 1t is generally
understood that if it had not been for
the tangled state of the finances of
the Union Pacific railway Mr.. Gould
would have remained much longer in the
salubrious air of the far west. bis pres
ence was needed here to straighten out
things. 1t is said that at the last meeting
of the advisory board of the Western
Traffic association in New York, Mr..
Gould fell asleep several times, showing
that he was worn out. Mr.. Gould appre-
ciates the Importance of his health, as he
keeps with him almost constantly Dr. John
p. Mum, physician of high reputation.

The 1tata to he Returned to cnlli.

WAsHINGToN, Sept. 9.-The Star this
afternoon prints the statement that the
Itata is to be returned to the Gillian gov
eminent in accordance with the terms of
the compromise effected at the conference
between ex-Mayor Grace Of New York,
and the Gillian Congressional representa-
tative here on the one hand and Secretary
Tracy ana Attorney General Miller on the
other. 1t is not an unconditional surrender
of the vessel and is simply back down on
the part of the United States, though it is
very generally agreed now the Itata could
not be held by the United States. The
terms of the agreement are that the CHILEAN
government is to pay the United States
sum equal to the expense incurred in pur-
suing and capturing the Itata and that then
the case is to be nolle pressed in the courts,
and the vessel turned over to the new
Gillian government.

Anti-Mormon Crusade in ENGLAND

LONDON, Sept. 9.-Publlo opinion in
Great Britain at present is turning with
Indignation upon the Mormon crusade being
made in many country districts. Reyela-
tons just made show there are 200 Mormon
missionaries" at present working in Great
Britain and in Scandinavia. Particular at
tention has been called by the press to the
operations of two young Mormon mission
aries" who have been operating in village
of Lancashire, and some strange disclosures
as to the proselyting methods adopted are
made. The result has been another up
heaval of public indignation, and it is prob
able another and more determined attempt
will be made to find some means of putting
stop to this trans Atlantic traffic in
women.
The revelations just made were brought
about through the public ventilation and
exposure of the methods of the Latter day
Saints.

TERRORITE.
A New Explosive that is Superior
to Dynamite.
Experiments with it at Fort Hamilton-It Can
be Handled with Safety-It is an
American Invention.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch
New YORK, Sept. 9.-Terrorite is the
name of the new chemical high explosive
compound tested to-day by General Abbott
and Colonel Mordecai at Fort Hamilton.
The trial proved that the new explosive is
undoubtedly superior to dynamite. Some
Of the fundamental articles used in making
terrorite are secret. The explosive is a
dark violet color, and was kept in a geta-
tionous condition in glasses. 1t can, how
ever, be manufactured in other forms, as
experiments have been made to produce it
as clear as crystal. A hollow shell of copper
was filed with twelve pounds of the ex-
plosive and packed with cotton. The shell
was then placed in an improved pit six feet
deep and covered solidly with earth. 1t was
exploded by means of an ordinary primer.
The defamation was a long, muffied one.
without any smoke, but the volume of earth
lifted, a full ton, was hurled through
the air IN almost every direction, rising to
a height of twenty-five to fifty feet The
enormous force of terrorite was evidenced
by the crater which it made around the pit,
and which measured nearly twelve feet in
diameter. The same quantity OF
dynamite or nitro glycerine would
not have done half as much damage
Four shells were fired in all with
practically the same results while the
weight of the charge was changed in each
instance. In addition to its greater de
structive force, the explosive offers ad
yantages hitherto sought in vain. 1t can be
handled more safely than guupowder, which
adds TO its value in warfare. Its force car
also be regulated, and it is claimed to be al
| least four times as powerful as dynamite.
Terrorite is not affected by Earring or Jolt
ing, and so its transportation in cars OF
ships does not endanger life. Like dyna-
mite, it cannot be exploded by the mere ap
plication of fire.
The inventor of terrorite claims that it,
quality will moi deteriorate under any con-
ditions. The chief value of the new explo
sive is that it can be used for artillery pur
poses. 1t can be safely fired from riff,
or mortar. The shell bursts witt
greater force than if it wer
filled with ordinary powder Ter
rorite can also be used in charging torpe
does or submarine mines. A shell of SOLE
steel, weighing 1000 pounds, thrown from
a Pinch steel rife and filled with this ex
plosive, would pierce sixteen inches O
armour. Although terrorite is an Ameri
can invention the United States war de
partment never tried 1t until the Mexican
government had purchased the right t
use it, both on land and water. Mexica
artillery officers say they are highly salts

soekIess simpson Worsted in Debate.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.1
CHICAGO, Sept, 9.-Congressman Jerry
Simpson had an exciting impromptu debate
with Judge John M. Thurston of Omaha,
in the rotunda of the Grand Pacific yester-
day which was enjoyed by crowd of
nearly one hundred people who crowded
around them in the hope that something
besides words might result. A waggish
newspaper man introduced the sockless
statesman to the Union Pacific attorney.
Things went swimmingly for Jerry till
he undertook to reflect severely upon Judge
Thurston's ignorance about farms which
would prevent him (Simpsou) from talking
with him longer. Then the Kansas was
foored. The Judge calmly answered that he
(Thurston) was born on farm, knew
more about farming and could do more
with a plow than Mr.. Simpson ever did or
would. Simpson was obliged at this juno
ton to supdenly retire ''to catch train.

Railroads BlOckaded With Wheat Laden

KANSAS CRY, Sept. 9.-Ever since the
wheat harvest began in Kansas wheat re-
ceipts here have been enormous. Up to
within the past week the railroads have
been able to handle the crops with moder-
ate prompmess, but since then the receipts
have been so heavy that the blockade is of
serious dimensions. This morning in the
Missouri Pacific yards there were 500 cars
of wheat waiting to be forwarded; in the
Santa F'e, 200; in the Union Pacific, 200,
and in the yards of other roads, 500. Re-
ports from various Kansas points state
carloads are waiting on the switches for
transportation. The roads are all doing
their best to relieve the blockade.

TOWNS ANNIHILATBD
A Terrible Earthquake Shakes
San Salvador.
THE PEOPLE ARE PANIC STRICKEN
They are Reused From Their Beds and Flee to
the Open Country-Extent OF the
Loss Unknown.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The Herald has this
cable dispatch from San Salvador: A mil
lion dollars worth Of property and MANY
lives were destroyed in this republic by an
earthquake to-day. Whole towns were
wiped out, and as far as advices received,
indicate hardly a city in the country, ex-
cept those along the coast, escaped the
awful effects of the CONFUSION. There
have been indications for several DAYS past
that seismic disturbance of more than
usual power might be expected. The vol
canoes OF San Salvador, San Miguel and
lsalco have been unusually active.
AT five minutes before this morning ths
earth began to shake. The wave had a
strong vertical and oscillatory movement
People rushed into the streets in their
night clothing, and while the shock lasted
only twenty seconds, before it passed away
there was panic stricken mob making their
way 10 Inc open country outside of the city.
Men, women and children were shriekinR.
praying in the streets. The walls of houses
cracked tottered and fell. There was a
deep, continuous rumbling as of heavy
thunder. The earth rose and fell in long
waves, and people were unable to keep
their feet. All through the morning there
had been slight shocks, but none approach
/ tive.
| President Ezeta is doing everything he
can to stop the panic and care for the home
less people until it is considered safe for
them to go back to their homes. Towns
throughout the country suffered more Sc
verely than the capital. Apaloguito and
Comasagua are completely destroyed, and
Colutopeque, Santa Tecla, San Pedro
and Masahust are so badly
shaken they are practically ruined
while the shock was plainly felt and dam
age was done at Santa Ana and other
points fully sixty miles from here. 1t is
impossible at this writing to form any idea
as to the number of lives lost. Two people
were killed here. 1t is feared many peoDle
were killed in the smaller towns.
