ATHENS, April 22.-The earthquake
shocks that begun at about 30 O'Clock
Friday evening continued with more or
less frequency until noon today. All
last night the oscillation of the earth
was noticeable and the people of this
city were in state of semi-panic.
The villages of Atalanta, Larymin,
Proskina, Malesinza, >Mazi, Pella and
Martino are in ruins. Serious damage
has been done at Chalis, and several
villages on the island of Euboa. At
Thebes 500 houses fell. The city is in
state of panic and. .destitution. The
terrified people rushed in crowds away
from Thebes, believing that the end of
the world had come. The government
has sent warship to Thebes with 800
tents, a large number of surgeons, de-
.tachment of engineers and supplies ST
food. In three villages, Malesina,
Proskina and Martino, all in the prov
ince of Locris, 129 persons were killed.
The mayor of Larymni telegraphs that

while vesper services were being held
in the parish church. The walls of the
church fell, burying all the worshipers
in the ruins. Scarcely person in the
church escaped without injury. Thirty
were taken out dead. Houses were
thrown down in other parts of the vii
lage and the money loss is great, some
of the villages being practically ruined.
At Malcoina houses tottered and fell, as
though built of cardboard. In this lit
tie village 60 persons were killed. In
some cases entire families-fathers,
mothers and children-were taken from
the ruins dead. At MARITIME 80 persons
were killed. Here, as at Proskina, the
parish church was the scene of great
number of fatalities. In the vicinity of
Athens the fatalities were less numer-
Gus, but the property damage is great.
THE TOTAL DEAD.
The total number of deaths thus far
reported is 160, but there is scarcely
any question that this number will be
augmented when the more remote vii
lagos are heard from. As this dispatch
was being sent from Athens, a sharp
shock was felt that for time caused

Conspiracy in Bra zIl's Revolt.


Rio special says the government has not
notified the diplomatic corps that the
republic is at peace. The action of
congress on the question of the state of
siege is awaited with anxiety. Some of
Da Gama's personal papers recently
captured were found to contain docu-
ments showing the completely of British
and Portuguese officials with him to re-
store monarchy and expressing full
sympathy with the rebel cause. The
government organs openly charge the
two governments with aiding the revolt.
KEEPS HIS POLITICS A SECRET.
The Prince of Wales Treats All Glasses
with the Same Tact.
Of all tactful royal personages there
is no one that shines more brilliantly
in this particular than the prince of
Wales, whose unquestioned power and
predominant influence in English So
ciety and over English life are entirely
owing to the delicate tact with which
they are exercised. How exquisite is
this tact may be gathered, says writ
er in the New York Tribune, from the
circumstance that, although the prince
is approaching. his sixtieth year and
has been the most conspicuous public
figure in English life for the past four
decades--always in full glare of the
prying gaze of the people, and without
scarcely days privacy-yet up to the
present moment no one, not even
among his dearest friends, possesses
any inkling as to the true character of
his political sympathies. He is equally
courteous and gracious to Lord Sails
bury and to Mr.. Gladstone. He has
both tory and liberal statesmen to
stay with him in the country at Sand
ringham; he has even shown marked
ciyility to Irish home rulers, so much
so, indeed that, there are some people
on both sides Of the Atlantic who
fondly imagine that the prince. is al
most a fenian.% No one, however, knows
anything on the subject 'sfor sure;''
and hence, when the prince comes to
the throne, he may be expected to fig
ure as model of ali constitutional
monarchs, holding an im3artial bal
ance between the two great political
parties, and being absolutely free from
any suspicion of inclining more to the
one than to the other. And were the
prince to die before succeeding to the
throne he will be remembered both in
England and on the continent as the
man of the present era who was dis
tinguished among all his contempor-
aries for possessing in the highest de-
gree that most Indispensable of all vir-
tues, namely, tact.

CoNsPIRED AGAINST MGR. sAroLL
Bishop Corrigan to BE Arraigned a
Rome on Most Serious Charges.

New York, April 2o.-The Herald
says: The trouble which began in this
diocese of the Roman Catholic church
several years ago and which originated
with the Rev. McGlynn's disobedience,
not yet ended. It is revived in a new
and more startling form. In fact, the
Herald has been informed that the
Most Very Rev. Bishop Corrigan is to be
arraigned in Rome on most serious
charges. The substance of the charge is
conspiracy to destroy the influence of
Mgr. satolli, the apostolic delegate.
Mgr. Satolli has for some time past been
working quietly but steadily to obtain
the evidence against the head of the
diocese.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The net gold

today was sos, ,673, 52s, and the cash bal
lance $131, ,34S, ,741. Information re-
ceived at the treasury indicates there

reach last weeks shipment of $4 200. 900.
It is expected, however, that no more
than half of the amount will be taken
from the subtreasuries, the banks fur
nishing the rest. Nevertheless, the
gold supply in the treasury is decreasing
week by week until it. has reached
point where the $1OO, ,OOO,O 900 reserve is
liable any day to be again encroached

THEATERS IN SPAIN.

In No Other Country Is the stage so
Universally Popular.
In no other country is the theater as
Dopular as in Spain. After the bullhght
q Spauiard loves the theater best. A true
Spanish home is so dull that men and
women alike scarcely ever spend quiet
evening in their inner circle. 1t is not to
be wondered at, therefore, that they
should prefer to leave their uncomforta-
bic rooms to get warmed and dazzIed Tor
a few hours in the glare of the teatro. 1t
is there. also, that they see their friends
and continue their habitual tertulla or
gossip. Even the children love the
drama. play or Sainete, and on Sunday
afternoons and feast days their mammaS
deck them up in tinery and take them to
see the latest sensational play. 1t is cur-
ious, indeed, to watch box full OF BABY
faces keenly interested and devouring a
terrible drama fall of narrowing scenes.
or laughing at short play full OF wit
and piauant Jokes. It does not seem at
ain natural to see children taken to these
spectacles, but Spanish children are little
old men and women, and fairy panto-
mime would be too dull for them.
In Madrid there are almost as many
theaters as churches. They are very
eommodious, splendidly decorated and
all built after the same model. A large

from its vicinity TO the sky. Ihe Madrid

by far more convenient 1t reminds one
of dainty ladies' bou6oir-it is SO fresh

tiops. It's soft electric lights, Its velvet
carpets and pretty frescoes. The royal
box itself is a gem, with pink capetonnee
walls and the arms of Spain above the
red and gold curtain. This IS only the
small soyal box. as the Queen never uses
the immense one that occupies the center
of the house, except on very grand occa-
sious. Behind the Queens box Is a
pretty saloon, where she can retire to take
refreshments between the acts. There IS
a telephone there, and it was through II
that her majesty received the news OF

PLAYING THE DEMAGoeUE.

The RECORD UNION, commenting upon
the speech of candidate Estee, in which
the existing administration was made the
scapegoat of every conceivable political
sin and responsible for the existing de-
preston, among other things, said: "Mr
Cleveland is no more responsible for the
existing depression than he is for the
movement of the asteroids, the preva-
lenee of catarrh, or the pains of rheuma-
tism.n
The Oakland Enquirer quotes this ex-
preston as an evidence that the RECORD
UNION does not desire Mr.. Estee's cleo
ton. and says: ''Had the REcoRD-UNIoN
desired to promote the election of Mr..
Estee we should not have found it talk
ing in this cynical strain. 1t would have
had no difficulty in finding the candi-
dates criticism of Cleveland we'll
founded"
In this statement the Enquirer has dis
closed its own conception of journalistic
ethics. If it had desired the election of a
candidate it would have found no fault
with his utterances. This is the plain
declaration of its charge when transposed
from its objective to its subjective aspect.
The Enquirer, however, grossly mis-
judged the REcoRD-UNIoN in making
this charge. The RECORD UNION desires
the election of Mr.. Estee. 1t desires the
triumph of the elements of national life
organized in the Republican party. 1t
desires the domination of the true Ameri-
canism for which the Republican party
stands. It desires to see the honesty,
probity and manliness, for which Mr..
Estee has been and is distinguished, in
the Office of Governor of the State of
California. But it does not believe the
present national Administration respon-
sible for the existing commercial and in
dustrial depression.
The Democratic candidate to be nom
mated will charge the Mckinley bill with
~AO SAASt1hs 00pAOSSlOA III 00Iui
Austria, Tasmania, Australia and New
Zealand. He viii no doubt initiate Mr..
Estee and for the same motive.
Concerning the Republican candidates
charge against the existing national Ad-
ministration, the REooRD-UNIoN said
''Mr. Estee would have proven himself
completely unskilled in modern political
warfare had he not taken advantage of
this too common ignorance" The
Democratic candidate, equally with
the Peoples party candidate and the Re-
publican candidate, will take advantage
of the Ignorance of men. They will all
play the demagogue. They will each
make professions they do not intend to
fulfill. They will each and all attempt to
so distort the history of the past as
to make their opponents appear to
be responsible for the evils of the time,
and confer upon their own party the
credit of all the good; and the RECORD
UNION viii say of each and all of them
that they are playing the demagogue
and appealing to the ignorance and
stupidity of men.

The New York Herald publishes the
opinion of Jim Corbett on the tariff ques-
ton. Pompadour Jim is not a political
economist, and his opinions were sought
solely because he was the champion Of
the prize-ring. He knocked Sullivan out;
hence the Herald has sought his opinion
of public economic questions. 1t is
mournful to reflect that. if in the coming
mill between Corbett and Jackson the
latter should knock out the former, Jim's
opinions of political economy would sud
denly become entirely worthless, while
those of the colored slogger would have
paramount Importance.

ing upon a Democratic administration
the present unfortunate industrial de-
preston, and in turn commits the very
same of1ense with which it charges Mr..
Estee by saying that the iniquitous Re-
publican tariff laws are the real cause of
the condition of the country.
The condition Of the country referred
TO in this sentence is a condition of finan-
cial depression and of commercial stag
nation. AS already noted in these col
umns, it began outside of America. It
showed itself in the most pronounc ced
way in Australia first. 1t may be said to
have begun in the insular continent.
Now the Mail would be troubled to
explain how the iniquitous Republican
tariff laws produced the condition of the
country to-day when it is plain that the
condition is one with the condition
throughout the world. If a tidal wave
should rise in the Indian Ocean and con-
tinue throughout the breadth of all seas
and all oceans, it would be a fair pre-
sumption that the wave was referable to
a cosmic disturbance, not local. Like
wise the condition of this country to-day
is completely analogous to the condition
in all other civilized countries, and the
trough of depression which followed
great wave of prosperity is plainly trace
able around the world.
The record-union., 1894-08-24
THE RISING WAVE.

In all the history of nations, of peoples,
and of human society itself, fluctuations
from crest of prosperity to a trough of
adversely, with the inevitable recurrence
of the crest of prosperity, have been
noted. It is the testimony of common
observation that the natural reactionary
point from period of great depression is
to one of great initiation, and the reverse
OF this is true. The world has never in
any past time known q condition OF pros
perity equal to that through which it
passed between 1873 and 1888. The nat
ural reactionary point from that condi
tion was to the present state of apparent
stagnation. The turning point has been
reached. The bottom has been touched
and the wave of prosperity begins to
buoy up the ship. 1873 was year of
depression. 1874 showed healthful re-
action. 1895 and 1896 will prove to
be reactionary periods from the de-
preston of 1898 and 1894. The question
we put forth is: Should this occur-and
there are hopeful indications of that re-
suit = will the Republicans give Mr..
Cleveland's Administration credit for a
return of prosperity?

The Populist movement is fierce as
sault more or less blind in its nature,
but all the more dangerous from that
fact, upon these governmental institu-
Iions which have tended since the dawn
OF civilization to distribute society into
the two classes of the very rich and the
very poor. Along with this assault goes
the denunciation of corporation monopo-
lies, but the essential nature and dis
tinguishing feature of the Populist move
ment is the attack on social institutions,
into which the theorists who have
hitherto been denounced as socialists and
communists have already enlisted, not
because the ideas of the party emil body
