1t is asserted by astronomers that
for thousands ofyears the planets of
our solar system have not been in
such u relatiYc position to each other
as they are at the present time ap-
preaching. Based on this fact,
Professor Fallb of Vienna, Austria,
whose predictions hitherto have
been remarkably correct has made
some statements IN regard to 1erres-
trial disturbances which are to occur
to the northern portion of this hem
isphere for the year 1894. The
order of disturbances or ear: nquakes
which he predicts, will occur about
August 20, September 20, 1894;
March 2l, April 6, May 5, October
%, 1895. He says that about Aug
ust II great submarine earthquake
will occur which will submerge New
York City by tidal wave and will
disconnect Florida from the main
land cause it to sink, and will make
an island of California. His calcul-
ations do mot extend specifically to
other parts of the world, but he has
no doubt equal disturbances and de.
structior will happen all over the
globe on OR about August 80, stated
by him to be the most intense date.

Williams proceeds as follows:
GA ssuming that the house of
repres entatives to convene in De-
cember, 1895, will be republican, it
will be in order for the silver COM
bination to demand silver legis]a-
ton at their hands. Platforms will
not satisfy; the party in power is
responsible for legislation. Failing
in this, a silver congress could be
called, including representatives
from all the silver and agricultural
states above named, insuring concert
of action. At the several state con-
ventions in 1896 resolutions could
be passed instractiag the presiden-
tial electors to vote for silver can
didate, regardless Of party lines.
By this means the election Of a
president hostile to silver could be
defeated and the election thrown
into the house of representatives.
