Of wonder to millions. John Bull shows no

8 Athens. April Is. The Island of Zante,
one Of the principal Ionian islands, was
visited by a most destructive earthquake
this morning, 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. 81 The
people are panic-stricken and the authon-
ties helpless. The streets are impossible,
being filed with masses Of stone and TIM

thrown down by the earthquake Thus far
the bodies Of twenty persons killed by. fall
ing walls have been removed from the
debris, and it is feared that many more
dead are still in the ruins The number of
persons injured runs up into the hundreds.
Most Of the buildings that stood erect after
the shocks Of heDruary3 and March were
either thrown down or shattered 50 as to be
unsafe for occupancy. The church of ST.
Dionysius and the government offices were
thrown down. W g5
+ Advices from the interior show that the
whole island has been devastated. Many
villages have been destroyed, and it is
thought that the loss of life has been very
great. News of the disaster comes i'll very

Washington. Special. April 1S.-OWing to,
the change that has been made in the In
dian Office and the appointment Of a COM
missioner and assistant commissioner, the
work of the Indian exhibit for the worlds

formerly in charge of Commissioner of Rail-

tary Noble to have charge OF the interior
department exhibit at the worlds fair.
Taylor was working in conjunction with
the Indian Office up to the time his sue
cessor was appointed. The Indian Office de-
sired to continue the work right along and
hurry up the exhibit so as to make a credit
able showing. but Secretary Smith held the
whole matter up until the new commissioner

Alsus Price Of this city mysteriously dis

left the city under equally inexplicable cir

until their 5unheralded return about a month

both were in India devoting their time to q

Syriac Text of the GOsDelx.

Washington, April 1S-Much interest has
been excited among scholars in the Capital
City by the publication of the cablegram
stating that Prof. Fendel Harris, of Cam
bridge, had discovered in the convent on
Mount Sinai Il palimpsest containing the
complete Syriac text of the four Gospels.
''The Gospels" said DR.. Cyrus Adler, of
the Smithsonian institution, 1T is believed,
were originally written in Il dialect current
in Palestine, especially in Galilee, a mixture
of the Hebrew and Syriac. We know that
it was not pure Hebrew from the presence
Of such expressions as the one Christ used
on the cross, 'Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabacthani''
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken
me?''), which is of Syrian origin. So ever
since the modern search for sources of the
Scriptures began it has been directed in
part to the discovery of what was believed
to be this original text of the Gospels. If
that is what is now discovered its value
and Importance cannot be overestimated
The common version is from Greek trans
lations of the original Prof. Harris whom
I know quite we'll. is particularly well quail
ified to Judge of the authenticity Of such

New York, April lS.--In New York is brew

The project is one Of long standing. The

Cuba which We're unsatisfactory to the peo-
pie there and TO the Cuban patriots in

The Mile Lacs settlers.

Washington, Special, April Is. : Repre-
sentative Baldwin had an interview with
Commissioner Lamareaux to-day in regard
to the settlers OH the Mile Lacs lands, and
laid the facts before him in such a way
as will probably result in allowing matters
to rest as they are until congress has an
other opportunity to act. 1t is an interest
ing feature to Minnesotians here that Castle
did not put through the Washburn resolu-
tion, which would have settled the matter
and quieted the title of these settlers.
Castle thought he had the matter settled
with the department before he went away.
Senator Washburn was also of the. opinion
that he had fixed up things, but it seems
that the administration prefers to consult
regular Democratic members and for that
reason Commissioner Lamareaux had this
to-day. 49,"
