Mipe1 Out by an EarthQg3ke.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan 29.-Advices
from China announce the complete an
nIhilation by an earthquake of the
town of kuchan, Persia.
Twelve thousand persons were killed
in the awful disaster, and where was
once an important and beautiful citv Of
10000 people there is now nothing but
death and terror. Ten th0nsand corpses
had been recovered ut the date Of the
dispatch.
In addition TO this stupcndous loss Of

DECISION MADE BY JUDGE cox.
Knights Of Lab9r Suffer Defeat in Their
lnu'Ct0NaI Proceedings.

Knights Of Lab9r Suffer 03f8at in Their
Inju'Ct00aI Proceedings.
WAsuNGToN, =. c., Jan. 3O.-Judge
Cox, Of the district supreme court, this
morning declined to grant the applica-
Il Of the Knights of Labor to compel
Secretary Carlisle to show cause why he
Aould not be enioined from issuing
5o,G00,G00 Of bonds as proposed in his
recent bond circular.
The Judges decision declared that
the knights Of Labor as all organization
had no standing in court to maintain
the Injunction and his opinion also sus-
tanned very fully Secretary Carlisle's
right TO issue gold bonds. ION general
principles" F." he said, mo person can lc-
gally begin action against an Off
Ger Of the government unless the
rights OF property Of complainant
or cOmplainants are involved
The application Of the Knights OF
Labor said Judge Cox, asserts that
the members OF the organization as citi-
zens and taxpayers have a right TO the
injunction, and urge that should the
bonds be issued the interest will prac-
ucaIly amount to a tax of about 81
head in the country, thereby
resulting III an outlay OF 10000 for the
knights of Labor, according to the APP
pllcation filed yesterday. Now, there
never was per capita tax in this cOun-
try. No law now in force requires the
payment ofa direct tax though there was
one III 1916 and another in 1861. Should
sUch tax exist the complainants have
not shown that they are property hold
crs. They have no standing in the
court as taxpayers, and no legal right in
the question as to bond issue They
claim that the interests Of the OrganiZa-
tlOns are different from the general
public and would suffer more than
any other class referring to the claim
that many Knights were minersl bv the
issue, and that there is a grievance of
discrimination; but it gives no standing
III Judicial proceedings. Consequently
as taxpayers or as miners the COM
plaInants have no standing in court"
Judge Cox then reviewed the laws
earring on the question and declared it
AaS unnecessary TO enter into discus
sion Of the rights of the Secretary to
make the issue. The Secretary, he
SAYS, has legal authority to redeem
notes when presented and to issue and
sell the bonds when necessary.
General Secretary Mcguire, Of the
knights, will appeal from the decision
to the district court of appeals, and
from there eventually the case may 90
to the supreme court of the United
States

LONDON, Jan. 3O.-Dispatchcs re-

to-day say that al 10 o'clock Admiral

the American ships, a sharp engage
ment followed with the result that Ad-
mlraI Ia CANA surrendered
The Rothschild Banking House has
received a dispatch from Rio Janeiro
saying that Admiral Ia Gama has sur
rendered.
The Brazilian minister here, upon
pelng Informed of the contents Of the
dIspatch received by the Rothschilds
banking house, and of the contents of
the other dispatches, saving that an en-
gagement had taken place between the
nIted States war vessels and the in
surgents and that Admiral IA CANA had
surrendered, said that he had no doubt
that the news was true The Brazilian
minister added that Admiral de Melio
only now had command of the Repub-
hca, and that the final collapse of the
revolt Is only question of few davs
Baron Rothscmld upon being ques-
toned by the Associated Press reporter
as to the source from which he had re-
celyed the dispatch announcing the
surrender of Admiral Ia CANA, said
that the cable message came to him
from what he considered to be a most
reliable source and that he had no rea-
son to doubt its accuracy
In conclusion the brazilian minister
sad that from the source from which
the news was received from Rio re-
gardlng the surrender of Admiral Ia
CANA there cannot he the slightest
question aE to its truth, although no Of
hclal confirmation has reached him.
\ high official of the British foreign
office who was questioned by the Asso-
cIated Press representative as to the ac-
cUracV Of the dispatches received from
Rio de Janeiro and Announcing the sur
render of Admiral Da Ciama. expressed
the opinion that it might be
true that the rebel admiral had
surrendered to the United States ad-
mlral, as il would be the easiest way out
OF a great difficulty. In conclusion the
foreign official said he did not see what
the nlted States admiral would do
with Admiral Da Gama and the insur-
gents who surrendered with him.
Admiral Bcnham, he added, could not
very well surrender the insurgents to
President PeiXoto who would undoubt-
edly shoot them, and it is hard
ly probable that the United state,
government would care to as
sumo the care of mass of
Brazilian insurgents for an indefinite
period. Thus, according to the repre-
sentative of the foreign office, # ii
were true that the insurgents had sur
rendered to the United States admiral
the latter would seem to have an
elephant on his hands.
