WALES SHAKEN BY AN EARTHQUAKES.
People In Pembrokeshire Spend Nigh
Outside of Their Homes.

Outside of Their Homes.
LONDON, Aug. 1s.-The shock of earthquake
last night caused CONSERVATION In Pembroke
shire, the extreme southwestern county Of
Wales. People we're generally asleep when a
low rumbling noise was heard and the houses
rocked and shivered. like a ship in an undulat-
ing sea. In Haverford West the rumbling and
the rocking motion were particularly heard and
felt and hundreds Of people, awakened from
sleep, rushed ont into the street in their night
gowns without waiting to dress. Crockery was
smashed and furniture moved by the shaking Of
the buildings, which lasted, however, but a few
seconds. The people remained in the streets
panic-stricken and fearful Of a more disastrous
visitation. After an interval another shock
came, but 1t was slight as compared with the
first. and did no damage. Then was another
interval and another shock, also slight. After
some time. as there was no more sign Of
seismic disturbance, people returned into their
houses and tried to sleep. The day preceding
the shock had been extremely sultry for that
section, so near the breezes Of the Irish sea- and
q dull, heavy heat seemed ominous Of some
thing unusual.
At St. Davids the shock was felt with as much
force as at Haverford West The day was very
warm and toward evening there was a dull. cop
perry hue in the sky, while the slight breeze en-
tirey ceased and the atmosphere was oppress-
lively still. The color Of the sky aroused con-
sioeraoie remark and was thought to portend a
storm. The night was almost as oppressive as
the afternoon and when the shock came many
Of the people were out in front Of their houses
DOING or trying to sleep in the open air. Tine
shock was a smart one and the damage resulting
was chiefly to property. In one instance a mir
ror cracked in a house. In St. Davids most of
the people remained up almost all night and
many OF them in the streets. People living near
st. Davids head say that the sea was unusually
quiet and almost CLASSY last evening. The first
shock was accompanied with considerable tur-
bulence Of the waves, and large wave swept in,
tossing foam high upon tho rocks. This tumult
Of the waters continued for some minutes and
ceased shortly after the final shock. In other
parts Of South Wales the earthquake was not
felt 90 seriously as in Pembrokeshire, but tho
disturbance was noticed as far east as Mon
mouthshire.

YOUNG VOTERS IN THE LEAD.
The Republican Campaign In Illinois Opened
at Springfield Today.


SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Aug. 18.-The republican
national campaign opened in the state of
Illinois at high noon today and gave the signal
for the voters Of the state that the campaign
Of 1892 was on. 1t is asserted here today that
Illinois is the first state in the Union in which
the grizzly party managers have delegated to
the Young Mems Republican League the for
mality OF officially opening the campaign, and
President Tracy states that this is done as
graceful recognition Of the influence Of the
league in this state and compliment to that
army Of FIRST voters who have identified
themselves with this youthful hut powerful
adjunct to the regular republican organization.
1t was in deed O social welcome that young
republicans Of Illinois gave to Whitelaw Reid
today. Every arrangement, every detail of the
journey of the vice presidential candi-
date through the state Of Illinois
was under the supervision Of Presi-
dent Tracy and his colleagues of the re-
publican league and the success OF the trip in
Its every incident gave evidence Of the tireless
enterprise Of these enthusiastic republicans.
Every railroad centering in the city
Of Springfield ran excursion trains to the
capital, and thousands of visitors were present
from all parts of the state. The city was beauti-
fully decorated with flags, banners and
bunting, and a large stand erected in front
Of the state house gave opportunity for
the immense crowds to get within hearing
distance Of the speakers. The frs: of the re-
publican league was held in the hall Of the
House of Representatives and the large num-
Der Of delegates assembled taxed the capacity
of the vast hall to its utmost. To Offset
this league the democrats Of Illinois
have recently organized the young mems
hickory club, an order which is also said to
show rapid growth and to demonstrate the
interest that is being taken by the
young men of Illinois in the coming cam
paign. The objects Of the republican league
are briefly stated in the constitution to be to
encourage and assist in the formation Of per-
manent republican clubs to unite such clubs for
effective and organized work and generally
to advance the principles Of the repub-
lican party. Any permanently recognized
club in the state which has adopted a con-
stitution having not less than twenty members,
Ia eligible TO membership in the league
and all that is necessary is to make application
in writing to the secretary Of the league. As q
natural result all the campaign clubs Of the
past have simply Joined the republican league
and this fact will explain the apparently pho
nomenal growth Of the organization.

Plat, Quay and Dudley Cooperating with
the Committee.

H'"u' U"sy anu Duuiey cooperating with

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star
NEW YORK. Aug. 17.-The official confirma-
ton today Of the statement made in these dis
patches several days ago that Platt. Quay and
Dudley would come thoroughly into line with
the republican leaders and cooperate in the
campaign creates much stir in the
political world. What influences brought
this about cannot now be told. but, as intimeted
in this correspondence on the day Of Carter
visit to Washington, that trip was not without
bearing on this and other similar questions 1t is
now asserted that not only is complete harmony
and cooperation assured in New York. but that
matters in Indiana also are taking more salts
factory shape from the republican standpoint
These announcements do not appear to furry
the democratic committee, which resumed its
session this morning. Prominent democrats
assert that the talk Of harmony on the part Of
Platt, Quay and Dudley is to be taken with q
good deal of allowance.
PENNsYLvANIANs IN TOWN.
The announcement that Quays co-opera-
price of Dalzelrs withdrawal from the sena-
torial fight brought crowd Of Pennsylvanians
to town early today. Chris. Magee, collector
Cooper, G.. W. Price and Robert J. Thompson
OF Philadelphia are in the city and Magee and
Cooper were at headquarters today. Whether
the senatorship is to be considered Q
part Of the agreement nobody is willing TO
say. 1t is scarcely believed that this cut
any material figure In the matter. az Quay long
ago considered his reelection settled and has
not for weeks looked upon Dalzelrs opposition
as important. One feature that is Civ
ing republicans and democrats no little
concern now is strikes and their
effect on the political situation. The fact
that they come 80 near to such republican lead
ers as Plat by way Of his employment of Ten
nessee convicts. Depew through his railroad con-
nection and Carnegie at Homestead causes much
anxiety on the republican side, while the fact
that democratic governors are compelled to use
troops against workingmen in two states stimuli
taneously causes much uneasness on the demo-
cratic side.
THE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE.
The democratic campaign committee is Civ
ing its attention today to the question whether
western headquarters shall be opened. 1t is
stated this afternoon that Cleveland MEM
bers OF the committee are not favor
ably disposed, and that even Dickinson
with his confidence in success in the west doubts
the wisdom Of the proposition. The fact that
there is some doubt about any stop in this
direction by republicans leads the COM
mittee to hesitate to the policy.
1t is probable that both sides
may await developments before acting. At
democratic headquarters the reports that Plat,
Quay and Dudley had come into line were
looked upon with undisguised anxiety
"There is no doubt" said Lawrence Gardner
talking Of the subject, that If true it means
good to republicans and means. too. that our
people must have every man in the race

THE LAST STRONGHOLD TAKEN.

Miners Have Abolished Convict Labor In
Every Mining Camp in Tennessee.
NASHVILLE, TENN, Aug. 1s.-There is great
excitement over the east Tennessee mining
troubles this morning, but it is mainly over the
events Of last night, as nothing has been heard
from the seat Of trouble since last
night. The state authorities have received
numerous kilograms from Knoxville this morn
ing, but none Of them convey news Of any new
developments. Adjt Gen. Norman says there
has been no new movement or attack for the
last twelve or twenty-four hours, the situation
being the same as last night. There has been
no attack on the troops at Coal Greek. nor could
any information be had as to the probability Of
any. That the garrison was in q stage Of siege.
however. was shown by telegram received
from Col. Keller Anderson this morning. say-
ing: al have not surrendered and will not sur
render until ordered to do SO by the governor, ~
This telegram came from Knoxville, however,
and Is there is no wire communication between
Coal Creek and Knoxville the telegram was
doubtless delayed, as another telegram was
shortly afterward received at the capital say
ing that the soldiers under Col. Ander-
son had been captured by the miners and were
on their way to Knoxville with the captured Of
Coal Greek. The miners have now abolished
convict labor, at least temporarily, in every
mining camp in Tennessee.
