GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.
Another Earthquake Shock Causes
Panic in Athens.

PANIC III AtDc0S.
ATHENS. April 2S.-At 900 last night,
during the usual Friday Epitaphan pro-
cession in the cathedral here. violent
shock occurred that seemingly shook the
building to its very foundation. The du-
ration OF the shock was fifteen seconds.
The cathedral was crowded with devotees,
who, when the shock began, were ON the
verge of a panic. An exit was hurriedly
thrown open and the people dispersed.
Meantime, NJ. Bouphides, Minister of the
Interior, hurried 10 the telegraph Office
and learned the shock had been fel.
throughout the country, including the
islands of Syria and Zante. and that i'm
mense damage has been done. The shock
was felt with The greatest severity at
Thebes and Atalanta, both of which
places were extensively damaged by the
last shocks. Both cities were completely
destroyed, not a single house being left
standing. Incalculable damage was done
at Laimai, Larrasia, Volo. Chalces and
Patras.
AT Laimai the walls of the prison fell
down and many of the uninjured prison
ers made their escape in the confusion
prevailing.
In addition TO the many persons rev.
dered homeless by the previous shocks
there are now thousands of others who
will have to depend on the Government
for shelter and sustenance. There is lit
tie doubt that there has been great loss of
life

TAKES NO BACK SEAT.
Germany Will Certainly Not
Withdraw From Samoa.
The Most That Can Be Granted Is a
Treaty W it'll the United States
Guaranteeing Her Rights.

BERLIN, April 2S.-The Czarowitch is
to ST. Petersburg, and he will probably
stay in Berlin few hours as the guest of
Emperor William, whom he has invited to
his wedding
Inquiries have resulted in information
to the effect that the German Government
will under no consideration consent to any
proposition which would diminish German
influence In Samoa or elsewhere. and a
change from the present attitude OF the
German Government toward Samoa there
fore would only be in a direction of a
German protectorate over the Samoan
Islands.
On the other hand. the German Govern
ment is willing to grant to the United
States by treaty any demands which
would secure to America her present CON-
mercial rights and standing in Samoa.
This is the standpoint Of Germany, ard il
is looked upon as involving the honor of
the German empire.
All the German newspapers comment
upon the Coxeyite movement in America
and express establishment at what they
term the absence of cooperation between
the Governments of the various States to
nip the agitation in the bud. At the same
time nothing serious is expected, the gene
raj opinion being the Washington Govern
will make short work of any attempted
distur bance.
The Bavsrian Government, with the
double view to prevent adulteration and to
bring profit to the Bayarian treasury, has
opened an extensive drinking saloon in
Munich. This has greatly incensed the
retailers in Munich. They claim the Gov
eminent ought to be satisfied with the
immense profits it already gets from the
State brewery.
IN pursuance Of his plan to suppress ex-
travagance in the German army Emperor
William has Instructed the commanding
officers only to give permission to keep
racehorses to the most wealthy of the off,
GERS, and to suppress the custom according
to which subordinate officers make OK
pensive presents.
Tie Empress Of Germany and her chill
dren arrived at Potsdam from Abbazzi a

F." WYE L'ANARCHIE.
Henri Laughs When He Is Sem
fenced to Death.
The Young Frenchman Defends His
Theory and Will Seal 1t With
His Blood.

PARIS. April 2S.-The trial of Emil
Henri. the Anarchist who caused the ex-
blossoms in the Rue des Bons Enfants. in the
Cafe Terminus, was continued In the
Asszes Court of the Department Of the
Seine to-day. M. Dupuy, who was wit
ness, testified that Henri. while in his
employ, absented himself for an hour and
half ON the dav of the explosion; but
the witness did not believe that the priS-
oner could have deposited the Internal
machine in the Office of the Carmaux Min
ing Company on the Avenue de POpera.
Henri interrupted NJ. Dupuy, crying: Il
affirm that carried it there myself"
Nj. Gaupit. witness for the defense, ex-
pressed the opinion that Henri was men,
tally affected. This called forth an ex-
cited protest from the prisoner, who as
serted that he was pei fectly sane.
The public prosecutor, NJ. Buot. then
addressed the court. He was continually
interrupted by the prisoner. Henri OBJ
tanned permission to read paper which
he had prepared, explaining his theories,
and in which he declared himself in
different TO the verdict. He became an
anarchist toward the middle Of 1891, being
disguised at human injustice and with the
delusion of bourgeois actions. He was
becoming socialist, but love of liberty
prevented him. AS to the Cafe Terminus
affair, he said that it was to supply whole
sale arrests of anarchists. He wished the
bourgeois to understand that starving men
had no respect for human life and b ad no
mercy in the war against the bourgeois.
Henri's address ended with the words
''You have killed anarchists, but what you
cannot kill is anarchy. which will end by
killing the bourgeois"
M. Boutel. counsel for the prisoner.
made an eloquent speech in HenrIs be-
half. The jury brought in a verdict of
guilty, and Henri was shortly afterward
sentenced to death. The prisoner re.
ceived his sentence laughing and shouting
Courage, comrades; vive Panarchie."
He was removed under strong escort of
Republican Guards.

Gravier and Commerce streets. From the
kitchen it assembled through back ele-
vator ia the upper stories of the buildings.
The progress of the flames were so rapid
that the Commerce-streetsi side of the third,
fourth and fifth stories was soon in
flames. and before the occupants-guests
and servants-could be moved.
Every effort was made to awaken the &C.
cupants, but the flames drove the firemen
and others back. Several persons were
seen at a window on the fourth floor, fac
ing on Commerce street, apparently in
flames, crying for help.
One OF them, man, sprang from the
window, falling on the pavement on his
head and dashing out his brains. His
clothes were burned from him and his
body was black with burns. What be-
came of the others who were standing
around him, whether they escaped or were
burned to death, it is impossible to say
and will not be known until the ruins are
searched tomorrow. The dead man was
burned beyond recognition and it was i'm
possible TO say whether he was a guest or
a servant.
Ladders were placed against the win
dews on the lower floors and several
women were taken down, many ofthem
in a faintng condition. Another man
who jumped from a window was Instantly
killed. His name aud residence are un-
known.

The hotel had quite q number of guests,
how many cannot be stated. Most OF them
were in the front rooms and escaped. The
hotel was built in 1856 at a cost of $780,
CO., and for years was the finest hotel in
the South. 1t looks now as though it
would be a complete loss, although the
front colonnade may be saved. The loss
will probably exceed 100000.
