A letter received at Zanzibar. Afrioa,
from Tippoo Tbs son confirms the report
of the death Of Emin Pachs, the great ex-
plorer, and all bis people.
Edward Schnitzsr was born in Oppeln. IN
the Prussiau province of Silesia, on
March 20, 14o, son Of ths Mer,
chant Louis Scnnitzer-died 1S45-and
his wife, Pauline Schweitzer, both OF whom
were Protestants. The family left Oppe'n In
1912 for Neisse. whers the mother and one
sister of our friend still reside. After gra-
duating at the academy OF the town last
mentioned, Edward Schnit2er entered upon
the course of medicine at the University OF
Breslau During the years 1868 and 1851 ne
continued his studies at the University OF
Berlin. where he took his degree.
He decided to win his way as physician
in Turkey, and left Berlin at the end OF 1854.
Ia Scutaria he excited the attention and lu-
tersst of the then Vail Isnael Pacha Heqq,
and was attached to the staff of the Turkish
diguitary, who was on a round OF omciai
visits to the various provinces OF the wide
Kingdom. After having seen in this way
Armenia, Syria and Arabia, Schnitzsr ar
rived at length at Constantinople, where the
Pacha died in 1872.
Suddenly, however, his old love OF wan
dering seized him afresh. He set out LOT
Egypt when favorable prospect had mean
while presented itself. Thus we see the en-
terprlsing man at the beginning OF 1875,
entering into the Egyptian service under
the name of Doctor Emin Efendi, and offer
ing himself in the south to the Governor
General of the Soudan, which was then be-
ing rapidly extended.
In 1878 he was made Bey and appointed
Governor Of the equatorial province. From
1873 to 1858 he had score Of stations and
post fortnightly between them and Lado;
Tns tide of insurrection in the Soudan
swepr southwark aud Emin was imprisoned
ir, his own province until rescued by Stanley
IN 1889. Soon after he returned to the heart
OF Africa, where he has just perished.

ALEXANDER IS KING.
Bloodless Comp dEtat of Servias
Youthful Monarch.

Youthful Monarch.
A bloodless coup detat was affected at
Belgrade, Servia, the other night. and King
Alexander I. the youthful ruler of Servia,
who had heretofore governed the country
through Regents, now rules in his own name.
A grand banquet was given at the palace to
celebrate King Alexander's success in pass
ing the examination prescribed for Servian
students. n. Ristics and General Belimark-
ovic, the Regents, and all the Ministers of
State, were present, as were q large number
Of friends and supporters Of the Regents.
Unsuspectingly the Regents and Minister'S
attended the banquet, and while they were
enjoying themselves at the palace detach-
ments Of soldiers and bodies of police took
possession Of the Ministers houses and occu-
pied the Government buildings.
At midnight while the festivities were
still in progress, King Alexander proclaimed
that he had obtained his majority and that
he had assumed, with the Skupshtina, the
government Of the country.
As natter Of fact the King had not at
tanned his majority. According to the Ser
Wan law he does not become OF age until he
is eighteen years old, and as he was born
August Il, 1870, he will not be eighteen for
considerably over year.
The King and his advisers acted with great
promptirude, and soldiers who were in wait
ing, at oncs placed the Regents and Min
isters under arrest and they were sent to
rooms which had been prepared for them in
the palace, where they were placed under
guard. The Servian army Is loyal to the
King.

EARTHQUAKE In zANTE
The IOnian Island Devastated
For the Second Time.
Many People Buried in Ruined
Cities and Villages.

The Island of Zante, one OF the principal
Ionian Islands, was visited by a most de-
structive earthquake few mornings ago,
resulting in great loss of life and property.
In February and March last the island sus"
tanned q vast amount Of damage by seismic
disturb inces, and large number OF lives
were lost.
This last shock appears to have been most
violent in the city Of Zante the greater part
of which was destroyed.
The people became panic stricken and the
authorities helpless. The streets were impas.
sable, being filled with masses OF stone and
timber, the wreckage OF the houses whlcn
were thrown down by the earthquake:
The bodies Of twenty persons killed by
falling walls have been removed fron tne
debris, and it was feared that many more
dead were still in the ruins. The number OF
persons injured ran up into the hundreds.
EVERYTHING was in. confusion, and the work
of searching for bodies and for the injured
could not be pursued systematically.
The greater portion of the inhabitants
hed to the plains back OF the city. where
they wandered about iu a distracted manner
bewaiiing the loss Of their homes and prop
erty. A large number of tents that were
taken to Zante to shelter the people who
were rendered homeless by the former earth
quakes have been again set up, and under
them some Of the women and children have
taken refuge.
The city presents a scene Of desolatioD,
and it is doubtful If it ever recovers from
the series OF misfortuaes that have befallen
it within the past three months. Ihere Is
bound to be an enormous amount OF suffer-
inc. and outside aid will be urgently re-
auired to prevent sickness and starvation.
The shock occurred at 7:30 a. m. Most
Of the buildings tnat stood erect after the
shocks Of February and March were either
thrown down or shattered 80 as to be unsafe
for occupancy. The Church Of st. Diony-
sius and the Government Offices were thrown
down.
Advices from the interior show that the
whole island has been devastated. Many
villages have been destroyed, and it was
thought that the loss Of life had been very
great. .
shocks shook the whole island. The people
fed from all the towns to find safety on the
plains and hillsides. All were terror
stricken. Thousands were without shelter,
and few have sufficient food.
The Greek Government acted promptly IN
rendering aid to the sufferers. The Greek
ironclads Hydra and Spezia started for
Zanti, having on board detachment OF en-
gineers, as we'll as provisions and medicines,
for the survivors Of the calamity.
It is pointed out that the Zante disaster
is confirmation of the prediction made few
days before by Professor Falb, who pre-
dicted the former earthquakes, that disturb
ances more serious than the recent ones
would occur on that date.
