SHOOK UP ZANTE,
An Earthquake Nearly Destroys the
Island-Many Killed.

An Earthquake Nearly Destroys the
Island-Many Killed.
ATHENS, April 1.-THE island of
Zante, one of the principal Ionian
islands, was visited by most destruc-
tive earthquake, resulting in great loss
of life and property. The shock appears
to have been most violent in the city of
Zante, the greater part of which was
destroyed. The streets are impossible,
being filled with masses of stone and
timber, the wreckage Of the houses
which were thrown down by the earth
quake.
Thus far the bodies of 20 persons
killed by falling walls have been re-
moved from the debris, and it is feared
that many more dead are still in the
ruins. The number of persons injured
runs up in the hundreds. Everything
is in confusion and the work of search
ing for bodies and for the injured can
not be pursued Systematically. The
greater portion of the inhabitants have
fled to the plains back of the city
where they wander about in a dis
tracted manner. bewailing the loss of
their homes and property.

A BIG SCHENrE,
Canal to Connect Duluth, Twin Cities
and Wheat Fields.

DULUTH, April 1.-THE Minnesota
Canal company, which filed articles of
incorporation i'll st. Paul Saturday, and
In Duluth Monday. have surprised the
people of this city by introducing an or
dinance in the council asking permis-
sion to lay water pipe through the diff
ferent streets of Duluth. 1t is not the
present intention of the company to dig
a canal between Duluth and the Twin
Cities, but rather to build canal from
the st. Louis river, near Cloquet, in a
northeasterly direction until it reaches
the hills back of Duluth, the length of
the canal to be 25 miles. The company
will also
Dredge the st. Louis River
and make it navigable far above Cio-
quet. Of course the object of building
canal to the hill above Duluth and es-
tablishing reservoirs there is to furnish
water to the city, not only for fire pro-
lection. but also for manufacturing pur-
poses. 1t is gigantic scheme, and one
that appears to be feasible. Henry
Curtis Spaulding president of the COM
pany, said that he was obliged to as
sumo reticence in the matter for the
present, but admitted that the ultimate
plan of the company was to extend its
canal system throughout the state, con-
Meeting Duluth with several important
points, including st. Paul and Mime
apolis and the
Wheat Fields Of the Northwest.
He claims to have unlimited capital at
his disposal. The estimated cost of
power for Duluth manufacturers is xl5
per horse power per annum. Steam
power costs $25 to $40. There will be a
dam 500 feet long built in the st. Louis
river just below where the canal begins.
The reservoirs at the top of the hill
will be over 600 feet above the city. The
cost of improving in this way the
waters of ST. Louis county is estimated
at Sc, ,OO0,OO0 Large manufacturing es-
adjustments will be established along
the shores of the canal, which will be
l20 feet wide and 20 feet deep.

FLAG COMES DOWN.
NO STARS AND STRIPES WAVE
OVER HAWAII.

They Are Pulled Down Upon Orders
From Com missioner BlOunt and the
Hawaiian Flag Hoisted in Their
Place.
HONOLULU, April l4.--Commssioner
Blount's arrival was wet blanket for
the provisional government, but his
procedure has paralyzed the leaders as
well as Minister Stevens. By Blount's
orders the American flag was hauled
down and the protectorate dissolved.
This event took place April 1, and was
marked by brief and simple ceremony.
On his arrival here the United States
commissioner held two audiences with
the provisional government, at the first
of which Blount presented letter from
President Cleveland introducing the
envoy and defining his duties. At the
second audience, held alone with Presi-
dent Dole. Blount said that the follow
ing day he should
Lower the American Flag,
break up Camp Bouton, send the Ameri-
can seamen back to the vessels and de-
clare the protectorate ended. His
reason was that he wanted to put the
provisional government on plane of
independence so that in his dealings
with it there should be no imputation
of coercion. The provisional leaders
were badly surprised but they spent the
night in drilling their troops and pre-
pairing for any uprising that might fol-
low the withdrawal of the marines The
streets were full of rumors that Blount
proposed to restore the queen and these
wild tales created intense excitement
among the natives. The morning of
April l, great crowd assembled in
front of the government buildings The
full force of the provisional army was
gathered. AT the command of Blount
a bugler gave the signal and the
American Colors Came Down.
The descent of the flag was watched in
deep silence. Then the Hawaiian flag
was hoisted. 1t received no cheers. for
every one knew it was not the new gov
ernment desired. Blount on April 3
had conference with the provisional
leaders at which he assured them that
neither Japan or any other power
would he permitted to land troops to
menace the government. Since then
there has been considerable excitement,
but nothing has occurred to disturb the
peace. The provisional troops are
amply sufficient to guard against any
attempts of the Hawaiians to upset the
government 1t was remarked by many
with surprise that no demonstration of
any kind had been made when the Ha-
waiian flag was raised. 1t was after
wards ascertained that the queen had
requested some of her people to instruct
the natives to make no outbursts on the
OCCASION

MinnesOta's Legislative Coal Investi-
eating Committee Reports.

IbcDOFtSs
ST. PAUL. April 14.-The joint legis-
lativs committee which has for more
than month past been investigating
workings of the coal combine, made its
report just before the adjournment of
the legislature during the evening. 1t
rehearses the findings of the committee
that combine, known as the Mime
sofa Bureau of Coal Statistics, exists in
this state; that it has been able in all
the leading cities of the state to force
all dealers not subscribers to the bu-
reau out of the coal business, and that
this combine has gradually raised the
price of anthracite coal until it now
sells at but few cents less than 80 per
ton. The committee also recites the
fact that it has secured an indictment
against the
Central Figure of the Combine
for perjury, and is preparing cases with
the aid of the attorney general against
several members of the combine for
criminal conspiracy. The report con-
tinues:
"The retail price of coal in the three
large cities of the state and their SUBJ
urban districts is determined monthly
at conference held between the man.
ayers of the shippers or wholesalers held
at the city of st. Paul at the Office of the
Minnesota Bureau of Coal Statistics, a
spying institution, maintained by an
arbitrary assessment of $25 on each re-
taller, and the remainder of the price of
maintaining, which, with its parapher-
MALTA of detectives and bulldozers, is
borne equally by the shippers and
wholesalers. John J. Rhodes, who is
now under arrest for perjury in con-
nection with this investigation, is the
manager of this bureau, and is paid
salary of $1,000 year. Such combina-
tions are contrary to sound public pol
icy, and are extremely dangerous
To the Interests of the State
and the welfare of the people thereof,
and has placed in the hands and within
the power of a selfish unpublic- spirited
and cruel aggregation one of the abso-
Lutte necessaries of life in this climate.
1t would be very lamentable state of
affairs if our courts cannot remedy this
evil that is rapidly reducing our people
to beggary and blighting and bankrupt
ing our infant industries.
''The question Of fuel, in view of the
attitude of those who control the sup
ply thereof, is one that requires the
best thoughts of our greatest thinkers,
and combination of the character
herein shown to exist must be dealt
with by those charged with the duty of
enforcing the law with fearless and
persistent energy and tireless activity"
The Recommendations.
The committee recommends to the
two houses in conclusion that the at
tention of the governor be directed to
the evils the people are now suffering
under from this and other like combin-
ations, and respectfully urges that the
power Of the state be exerted to the ut.
most, to the end that they may be re-
lieved from the great dangers that
threaten them, and, if no adequate
remedy can be had in our own courts,
that these vicious and demoralizing
combinations be prosecuted under the
federal law liz the courts of the Uuited
Statas
