To Settle the Union Paoiao Debt.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-There is much
satisfaction in congressional circles over
the prospect of a settlement of the Union
Pacific debt. Attorney General Olney's
plan of settlement is to be presented to the
house Pacific roads committee, and the
railroads plan will be presented next

FROM Boston, where the annual meeting

THE EARTHQUAKE IN GREECE
Furthor Details Of the Appalling Disas
ter in which Hundreds Psrishsd.


ter in which Hundreds Perishsd.
LONDON, April 27.-The full details Of
the loss Of life and damage to property
caused by the earthquake that occurred in
Greece on Friday, Saturday and Sunday
last are slow in coming to hand. The
Times correspondent who went to the af-
fected districts, and who is now at Mar
TIM, near Atalanta, says;
| have visited several villages in this
district, and everywhere a scene of ter
rible destruction presents itself Kipar-
issa, a small village near Atalanta, was
levelled completely to the ground. Close
by was the beautiful village Of Broskyna,
which occupied the most picturesque site
in the mountain valley. This place, too,
was totally destroyed Nothing remains
Of the village save heaps of stone and
broken timbers. Forty children of Bros
kynR, whose ages ranged from 8 to lS
years, were In church at the time the
shock that destroyed the village occurred.
The church had a stone roof, which fell
upon the worshippers below. Twenty
eight of the children were killed and the
others were injured The number Of dead
here was forty-three.
The scene at Malesina some eight miles
away was absolutely appalling. This was
a large village lying in a deep ravine,
which possibly in ancient times was the
crater of a volcano This place was so
completely wiped out of existence that in
most cases even traces of the house walls
have disappeared, they having been swal-
lowed in the chasms that opened in the
earth. Some of the bodies of the killed
have been recovered from the ruins and
buried. If the shock had occurred in Ma
las an hour or two later than it did the
whole population would have perished
but at the time most of the inhabitants
were cut of doors. Many of the survivors
were badly hurt.
The large village Of Martini suffered al
most equally, although some of the houses
remain standing. None, however, are fit
for habitation. The number of dead here
is forty-two. As at Broskyna, number
of children were in the parish church when
it fell
