ATHENS, April 2l.-The details Of the
calamity that has befallen the Island of
Zante show that since the beginning of
April there have been a total of 100
earthquake shocks. averaging five every
day. The island, as is we'll known, is
peculiarly liable to disturbances of this
kind, apd but little attention was paid
to the shocks, as they were for the most
part light and did no damage. When
the terrific shock came OH Monday
morning last the city of Zante was
practically wholly destroyed. There
are not in the city fifty
houses that are safe for people
to live in. 1t is now known that $50
persons lost their lives In the disaster.
and this list is likely to be added TO
when the ruins are cleared away. if this
is ever done. NJ. Dragumamii, acting
minister of the interior, who has made
a journey through villages lying in the
vicinity of the capital, reports that lie
found scarcely house standing. The
suffering among the homeless people is
great. In Zante it is dangerous to pass
along the streets, in consequence of the
condition of many of the houses that
are left standing, which threaten to top
pie over at any moment.
Two violent shocks were felt III Zante
today. Several of the remaining build.
ings were wrecked, and half a dozen
persons were injured.

PASSING OF A PEER.
The Earl of Derby Joins the Great
MaiOrity


LONDON, April 81. = The Earl of
Derby died this evening at $3.50 o'clock.
The Right Hon. Edward Henry Stanley,
Earl of Derby, was born July 81, 1926,
and educated at Rugby and Trinity
college. Cambridge. where he took a
tirst-clasS in classics in 1S4S. AS
Lord Stanley he represented Lynn
Regis in the house of commons, before
he succeeded to the peerage. In 1852
he was appointed under secretary of
foreign affairs in the first administra-
ton of his father, the former Earl of
Derby, who, after distinguished career
us statesman, died Oct. %, 1869. Under
his fathers second administration
the late earl was secretary of
state for India, with seat in the
cabinet, and it was under his super
intendence that the management of the
British India empire was transferred
from the board of directors of the Eas
India company to the government o
Great Britain. The late earl was ap-
pointed secretary of state for foreign
death the late earl became a member of
of the house of lords. Mr.. Uisraeli
again entrusted him with the foreign
Office in 1874. In 1879 the Earl of Derby
detached himself from the Conservative
party on the ground that he did not ap-
prove OF the course of the Conservative
leadership in regard to the foreign rela-
tions of Great Britain. Lord Derby be-
came Liberal, and was secretary of
state for the colonies under Mr.. Glad
stone from 1882 to July, 1885. In 1856,
when the division in the Liberal party
occurred on the issue of home rule for
Ireland, Lord Derby took stand
against Irish home rule, and has since
ranked among Mr.. Gladstone's oppo-
