EARTHQUAKE comes without the slightest
premonition, and gees quickly as tcame.
Cassmicciola was partly destroyed IN 1851
by single unduiatory shock lasting only
four seconds. and SO unexpected was the
tremor and so quickly did it pass that no
attempts at preservation were MADE
BY many people. A shoemaker was found
dead with a shoe between his knees and
partiallv drawn thread between his ling

provision against it. Cities are wrecked
usually because OF inferior mortar and
because of ill-designed buildings; and
everywhere the shoddy of architecture is
liable to exposure by earthquake.
Strong, symmetric buildings, carefully
designed and honestly built, will, if not
too high, endure tolerabiy severe earth
quakes without injury either to them
selves or their occupants, and no house
should be erected in any part OF the
country without considering the earth
quake and fire as common sources of
danger. Another precaution should be
observed; all people, young and old,
should know of the earthquakes; and just
as the pupil at school and child at home
are taught that the danger following the
cry of fire in the school house, lecture
hall and theatre is not from the flames
but the panic; they should be taught that
when the earthquake comes the safe
place, if out of doors, is as far as possible
from high structures; but that if in doors
the safest place is probably the chair in
which they sit or the bed in which they
lie. If the earthquake comes with pre-
monitory roar or tremor it might be wei
to seek safety in flight to open places
but generally, if its severity is such as tx
endanger life, the time for fight ha'
passed before the shock is fairly felt.

The Atkinson House Furnishing Com
pany, of Boston. Assigns-The Liabilities
May Amount to ss3,OOO,OOO.
BosToN, March 14.-The Atkinson
House Furnishing company, with four
teen branches in other New England
cities, has made an assignment to
Charles +. Libby, of Portland,
and Costello c. Converse, of Bos-
ton. President Isaac II. Atkinson says
that the liabilities are 81, 500, 900 and
that the assets are estimated at $3,
100000. The trouble was caused by
the str:ngency in the money market
and inability to meet n call loan on
Saturday. Last year the company did
a business of $3,00O,O 600. President At.
kinson says the firm will probably pay
it's debts in full.
Mr.. Isaac II. Atkinson, the president
of the company, has made an assign
ment of his personal property, valued
at about $3.50, 900, for the benefit of the
creditors of the corporation. In the
opinion of the legal advisers of the
assignees the indie ebtedness would be
found to reach much more than S1,5OO,-
900 and may possibly reach double
that amount. 1t is not possible that a
meeting of creditors will be called be-
fore ten days or fortnight.

sTrsidont Cleveland Recalls the Hawaiian
Annexation Treaty--what He Will Prob.

sTrsidont Cleveland Recalls the Hawaiian
Annexation Treaty-what He Will Prob
ably. Suggest.
WASHINGTON, March 1O.-President
Cleveland's first executive communica-
ton to the senate of the United States
came Thursday afternoon and proved
to be surprise, not only to the re pub
licans but to many democrats as
well. In this communication President
Cleveland withdrew the treaty with
Hawaii, which was sent to the senate a
few weeks ago by President Harrison.
The message was short, simply re-
questing the senate to transmit to the
executive the proposed treaty with
Hawaii. The message was received
without comment on the floor of the
senate.
1t is understood that the reason for
the withdrawal of the treaty by Presi-
dent Cleveland is because he is opposed
to the treaty in its present form.
Whether or not he will favor the mak-
ing of another treaty, and whether it
will be an annexation treaty or not
cannot be said on authority at this
time, but n gentleman who has talked
with the president on the subject said
that another treaty would be made.
1t is intimated that the president will
suggest either by message or personal
ly to senators that a committee be ap-
pointed to visit the Hawaiian islands
this year during the interval between
the adjournment of the special session
of the senate and the reconvening of
the next congress. Mr.. Cleveland here
tofore has been quite solicitous on this
point and made inquiries as to whether
or not the resolutions providing for
such commission had gone through.
lie had been apparently under the i'm
preston that it had been adopted. He
learned that it had not been, but
that the senate had authority alone to
provide for such commission, proba-
bly, to consist of senators, and that the
contingent fund of the senate could be
drawn on for this purpose.
None of the Hawaiian commission
ers were ready to express an opinion
upon the meaning Of the withdrawal of
the treaty.
1--WE are willing said one of them,
ito discuss the mS.ter with the new
secretary of state and endeavor to meet
the views of the present administration
We are not bound to any particular
wording of the document Whether
we would discuss a treaty looking to
any other form of union with the
United States l cannot say at pres
ent." 1t is said to be the purpose of
the commissioners to request con-
ference with Secretary Gresham at the
earliest convenient time upon this new
phase OF affairs. Secretary Gresham
was asked whether or not there was
any explanation to be made of the
withdrawal. "Ns." he replied, "at
least, not at preseiA"

FLEE FROM REDSKINS.

War on the Crow Observation-Disclosures
Making Medicine and Preparing for TIE
Siaughter-settlcrs Removing Their
Families to Places of Safety.
LAUREL, Mont, March 1O.-Open war
fare has broken out between the set
tiers on the newly opened portion of
the Crow reservation and the Indians,
and the widest excitement exists at
the new town of Wilsey and the coun-
try round about. Ranchmen around
Wilsey are moving their wives and
children to places of safety and pre-
pairing to defend their claims with their
lives if pecessary.
The fist bloodshed occurred Thurs
day morning, Little Face, Crow In
dian, being killed. The Indians, who
have just been allotted land in severalty,
have become angered at the encroach-
ments of the whites, and undertook to
drive off settler named Henderson
On Monday they drove Henderson
away, but he returned with couple
of friends, all armed. The Indians
gathered in a clump of timber and sent
Little Face forward. He told Hender-
son if he remained on the tract of land
which he had homesteaded another
twenty-four hours he would be
scalped and his body fed to the
crows. He then whistled and his
companions began to pour out of the
woods. AT the same time Little Face
reached for his gun, which he had set
against tree. He was not quick
enough, however, as Henderson shot
him through the heart. With a wild
yell his companions disappeared at
double quick into the woods.
The Crows are making medicine and
preparing for actual warfare. This is
the first time the Crows have ever
shown hostility to the whites. 1t is
expected that two or three companies
of United States regulars will be or
dered to Wilsey as soon as the war de-
partment can be informed of the cri ii.
cal state of affairs.

from day to day, and from this time on
the treasury department will be in a

gold coin can be received only at the

CHICAGO, March 13.-In less than
three weeks every dollar OF the obli-
cations which fell upon Gov. McKin-
ley through the failure of Mr.. Walker
will have been paid, for Trustee
Kohlsaat has received nearly $95,
900 by popular contributions rang
ing from 81 to So, ,0O0 Ever
since the trouble occurred the gener-
Gus public has been individually trying
to help Mckinley out by sending in
small amounts. The governors pride
caused him to return the money. But
those who were of like political faith
with the governor, and even those who
disagreed with him, were anxious to
pay tribute to his sterling worth.
When it was found that Mr..
Kohlsaat was receiving donations to
help Ohios governor out of financial
straits the contributions came in
a deluge. To prevent sec
ond refusal the trustee has gone
quietly to work and has taken
up the Walker paper as it has
matured and by the first of
April will have all of the indie ebtedness
incurred by McKlnley's Endorsements
paid up, which will save both the gov
ernor's and his wife's property intact,
and there will be no necessity for Nc
Kinley's withdrawal from politics.
Many touching tributes were contained
in some of the letters.
YOUNGSTOWN, o., March 13.-Appli.
cation was made in court Saturday
afternoon in the suit of the Second

for an order authorizing Re-
ceiver Hine to operate the plant until
further notice. A committee repre-
senting the creditors joined in the APP
plication and Judge johnson granted
the order, and the works will resume
operations this morning. 1t was
through the failure of this institution
that Gov. Mckinley became financially
involved.
