VILLAGES DsTRoYED
And Inhabitants Buried in the
Ruins

ODESSA, May 19.-Dispatches have
been received here telling of a catastro-
phe caused by an earthquake in Trans
caucausia. Only meager details of the
calamity have as yet been learned, but
it is known til at three villages near the
fortified town of Eriyan, on the Zenghi,
have been destroyed, and that twenty
seven persons have been killed, and a
large number of others injured.
The slesmic disturbances were of an
appalling character, the vibrations being
so heavy that the most solid buildings
in the places affected by the quake were
shaken from their foundations and sent
crashing to the earth. The inhabitants
rushed terrified from their totterlng
homes only TO be killed or manned by
the falling structures. The most intense
excitement followed the awful vista
tion, and many narrowing scenes were
witnessed,

A DISASTROUS BREAK.
Town and Country Flooded by a
Broken Levee.


Broken Levee.
KEoKUK, To-, May 19.-The Egyptian
levee. which protects vast area of bot
tom lands five miles below here, broke
this morning at O'Clock, and in less
than half hour the thriving little town
and the LOCO acres of wheat surround
ing it were one sea of water, several feet
deep and nearly eight miles wide.
Railroads are crippled, half a dozen
houses are afoat, and all business is
paralyZed. The whole town of AleXan-
dria, Mo-, is partly submerged. Ali
trains on the Keokuk q Western and
the st. Louis. Keokuk d Northwestern
railways south of this point have been
abandoned.
The Floyd river was almost back to
banks at noon today, and hundreds are
returning to homes which they were
scompelled to abandon yesterday.
Scores of houses were swept from their
foundations, and others washed away.
The damage to moveables is large where
the houses were not floated off. Fifty
OF sixty retail stores on the lower ground
were destroyed or badly damaged. Near
the Floyd, the river cut across bend
and scooped out great channel, start
ing in about lower Eighth street. All
the houses but very few in this vicin-
Iity were utterly wiped out. The rail-
roads and the stockyards will suffer the
greatest individual losses.

Abolish 1t.

LONDON, May 19.-In the house of
commons George Shaw-Lefeyre LIB
eral) moved the second reading of the
bill providing for the abolition of plural
voting. One case referred to by the
speaker was that of clergyman who

Southern division of Tyrone, moved an
amendment to the bill declaring that it
was ineXpedient to carry QUO the one
lnan-one-vote principle until the number

WINoNA, May 19.-It is estimated by
competent judges that the farmers in
this vicinity have over one-third of their

fully one-third of million bushels of
wheat here. Some heavy farmers have
not sold any of their wheat. These
men claim that they will not sell until

CAUGHT By CHAFF.
British Workers Likely to Be De.
ceived by Tories.


LONDON, May 19.-Lord Salisbury's
speech last night in favor of protective
tariff is the absorbing topic in provin
cial journals which, with few exceptions,
contain lengthy editorials on the sub
ject. The Conservative newpa-
pers, especially in the manu-
featuring centerS where the
Tories are trying to bring the working
classes over to their side, have much to
say in favor of Lord Salisbury's views.
The Liberal newspapers take the free
trade side, and assail Lord Salisbury's
argument with ridicule. There is no
doubt, however, that his lordship's
views are received with widespread APP
proval by the multitude of English
workingmen, and the Tories will be
strengthened by the adoption of pro-
tectiye programme.

POLITICS AND AMUSEMENT.

Very often the press has discussed
the effect of the recurring presidential
campaign. upon the world of finance
and business. One great draw back
To our system of popular elections,
which must always be the foundation
Of free government, is the undOubt-
edlv bad effects they produce upon
the business interests of the country.
The success of one or the other of the
two great parties, means that one class
Of industrial interests will be favorably
and the other adversely affected. But
the most marked and injurious results
of national campaign, fall upon the
amusement world. Base ball has been
colossal failure this year. Many of
its devotees who last year could tell
outstanding or batting average of
any player, this year wander after pO-
lltical gods, saturate their CLONES
with the oil of leaky torches, and yell
themselves hoarse. Who ever saw
such apathy on the part Of the gener-
al public at the wonderful
performances of Nancy Hanks
and the bicylist Zimmerman
and johnson in their successful efforts
in smashing the worlds records. But
worst Of all the depression falls upon
the theatrical profession. Up to cleo
ton day and until after the subsequent
excitement subsidies the space before
the foot lights will be practically de-
serted. Thus it will always be-but
after November the world Of sport,
racing, athletics and the drama will
again move with its wonted attraction

IS CITIZENSHIP TOO CHEAP?

Chicago Herald.
In theory the foreign-born citizen is
led to believe that American citizen
ship is something to be valued most
highly, and that only the worthy elect
are admitted to full naturalization.
In practice-especially before an
important election-our foreign-born
friend is tacitly informed that Ameri-
can citizenship is valued 50 lightly
that it must need no begging for some
one to accept naturalization papers.
He has learned, as a class, that he
need not expert himself to secure
American citizenship-that when his
vote is needed it will be thrust upon
him without even the small expense
Of the customary court fee. If he is
of a convivial turn of mind the en-
bryO citizen may also realize out of the
chrysalis process sundry drinks and
cigars at the expense of a committee
representing great political party.
Thus it comes about that judges
now hold evening sessions to accom-
mOdate the ante-election throng Of
wOuld-be citizens. So many are natu-
rallied in a single evening that even
the moderate requirements of the law
are hurried through more or less per-
functori.v. Doubtless very many good
citizens are being rushed through the
naturalization mill. 1t Is also reason
able to believe that there are many
unfit applicants, and that evasions of
the law are not uncommon.
Neither of the political parties has
built up this Wholesale naturalization
process at the expense of the other
party. NOte-getting rivalry is too
great to permit either of the parties to
steal a march on the other. Unfortu-
nately there is danger that increased

Louis Gottschalk, United States

scores Of them are shelling the woods

An important Meeting Held Yes

School.

The regular session of the city
teachers' institute was held on yester.
day morning at Broadway school
building.
Sup't. Smith called the teachers to
order exactly at 3 o'clock, and con.
Quoted the opening exercises. He
then made several announcements and
suggestions, after which selections
were sung by the pupils of the high
school from the high school Music
Reader. The singing was unusually
accurate and in good tone.
Rev. Mr. Cronce of the
First Methodist church, was then in
troduced and delivered a very elo-
quent and earnest lecture upon the
subject of the Immortality Of Char
acter. He first presented his reasons
for this belief and then urged the
teachers to do their work with ut
most patience and sincerity. He touch
ingly referred to the influence
of one of his teachers, and
stated that it yet followed him and
had caused him to desire above all
things to be a true man, strong in the
determination to do nothing incOn-
sistent with a nobly perfect manhood.
He spoke in all seriousness and kind
ness and produced a most excellent
impression.
The superintendent made some re-
marks touching the work in the school
room, particularly dwelling upon the
subject Of reading. He strongly de-
Tended the phonic method of teaching
reading, and urged its further use.
He also advised teachers to correct
any errors of pronunciation to which
they are liable.
The section work was then taken up

Assembled Multitude.

Every day is bringing us nearer the
most ENJOYABLE event Of the German

rious committees, all necessary prepar-
atoms have been perfected to make it
a grand success, and weather permit
ting, a multitude of people will be

for young and old. The superintend-
entS of the Mo. Pac. and NJ, X. L.
T. shops have kindly acceeded to the
request of the executive committee to

their employees to an afternoon of the
very choicest entertainment ever wit
messed at the park, and which is
free to everybody on that day.
One of the main attractions will con-
siSt of grand balloon ascension with
parachute jump by the most daring
aurenant, Prof. Hastings, which will
take place at ) o'clock p. III.
The professor NAV Justly style him
self as the lightweight champion OF
that profession in the world, weighing
only 50 pounds and can therefore at
tain a higher altitude in his sixty-foot
balloon than any man living.
He will carry with him his trained
ca, Tommy" which being properly
attached to proportionate size para
chute and from the highest attainable
altitude the professor will allow his pet
make the journey through the air
slowly descending to the ground; ;
after which Prof. Hastings will follow
with his own parachute.
The Sedaiia Turn-Verein (athletic
club has kindly volunteered to con-
tribute nimble limbed performances
on the horizontal bar, parallel bar
and other acrObatic exercises.
There will also be sack races, walk
ing and running foot races, creased
pole climbing and other sports too nu-
merOus to mention.
The executive committee would
kindly request that all business houses
and residences along the line Of march
be decorated.
The German day celebration being
an entirely non-pOlitical affair, the
grand marshal hereby announces that
no demonstrations of any kind OF po-
li:ical complexion will be allowed in
the parade and no political speeches
to be INDUCED in at the park.
An ample police force will be at
the park to maintain the best OF
order.
The festivities at the park will close
at sun down and will wind up with a
grand ball at Harmonic Hall at
night.
All organizations and lodges will
assemble on Main between Lamine
and Usage streets and on Usage and
Lamine as far south as is necessary,
each lodge to he commanded by their
respective officers and one division
marshall, the latter to be under the
supervision of the grand marshall.

party rivalry may open the gates too
wide. To lower the value which
foreign-bOrn residents should put
upon American citizenship, or to ill.,
vite into fellowship unworthy, igno-
rant or degraded persons, because they
can vote, means that growing mem
ace is offered to our national strength.
If citizenship is worth having, it is
worth striving for. But this is to be
remembered: The proper place to
bar out unworthy foreigners from the
rights of American suffrage is at the
seacOast.
