BENEFIT TO THE SUPREME OF

From the northampton Gazette
The way the supreme officers of the
collapsed endowment companies helped
themselves to the funds in their control is
not very consoling to the poor sufferers,
but it is just what might have been expect
ed. They were as a rule an irresponsible
set, and they knew that their time for
plumber was brief 1t appeared in a court
trial last week that the president of the
order of the Golden Lion" received 5000
salary, six other officers salaries of $500
each, the secretary one of $4,000, and the
sentinel one of $500. For the last nine
months the orders expenses were about
100000.

1t is verv likely that Denmark would will
ingly release control, for a reasonable con-
sideration, Of the West Indian Islands of ST.
Thomas and St. Johns, which recent despatch
es have represented, the Washington authori-
ties are DESTROYS of purchasing. She was very
ready to do so in 1867, and the conditions have
only changed since to make her very much
more SO now. Besides St. Thomas and st.
Johns, Denmark's only other colony in the
West Indies is Santa Cruz. That island is a
good deal larger than st. Thomas, and is only
forty miles distant from it. 1t is also a much
more productive island, being famed especially
for its exports of sugar and rum.
St. Johns is the smallest Of the three is.
lands. 1t stands in no comparison whatever
whilst. Thorn as, which excels in the extent
of wealth of its commerce., or with Santa Cruz,
whose superiority is wholly agricultural.
If the United States must have st. Thomas,
that being the island Necessary to this country
for a naval station in those waters, it is likely
she will also have to take the other two, which
will be valuable possessions in their way, but
would not be missed.
. The original offer made by this government
to Denmark in the sixties was for the three is
islands. Eventually it narrowed down to st.
Thomas and st. Johns, and it was in this shape
that the matter went before Congress and there
failed of ratification. Should Denmark still
be willing to listen to a proposal from this
country for the same two islands the probabi-
lily is that Santa Cruz, where American SYM
pathies are general and very strong, would
chafe in the abandonment Of her whilom Car
ibbeah companions and be restlessly eager to
follow them into the greater arms of Uncle
Sam.
The island that is wanted is st. Thomas.
The others would be bought, if bought at all,
because we could not get st. Thomas without
them. But though we do not need them they
would not be a burden to us, for in all the en-
powments Of nature they are as fortunate as

An Earthquake of great violence caused
immense damage in the Republic of San Sal
vador on September9 8. According to reports
sent from the capital of the country to the
New York Herald, there had been indications
for several days that a seismic disturbance of
more than usual power might be expected.
The volcanoes of San Salvador, San Miguel,
and Izalco had been unusually active, and
deep subterranean rumblings with slight
earth tremors had been felt. At |. 90 a. m.
on September 8, the earthquake began in the
city of San Salvador with a slight tremor,
which gradually augmented. The duration
of the first shock was ten seconds, during
which time a frightful subterranean noise was
audible in every part of the city. While the
shock lasl ed, the earth rose and fell in long
waves, and even strong men, were unable to
keep their feet. The walls of houses cracked,
and then tottered and fell. In the capital
alone 20 person were killed, and 50 or 80 Sc
riously injured.
The experience of towns in the country
seems to have been still worse. Of 800 hcus-
es at Comasagua only eight remain standing
and the loss Of life there was great. Analqui-
to has also been almost completely destroyed
and Cojutepeque, Santa Tecla, San Pedro,
and Masahuet were so badly shaken as to be
practically ruined. 1t is feared that the
earthquake has been even more disastrous
than those of 1854 and 1673.-"Natare'
