ATHENS, April 22.-The earthquake
shocks that began at : o'clock Friday
night continued until noon to-day. All
last night the oscillation of the earth was
noticeable, and the people are in state
of somi-panic. Telegraph communication
with many parts of tho country Is badly
interrupted, and il is barely possible to
get news from towns that must have been
affected by the shocks.
In the three villages OF Malesina, Pros-
kina and Martiuo, all in the province Of
locris, l2b persons wcro killed. The
mayor of Larymni telegraphs that heavy
shock occurred az Proskina while yesper
services were being held in the parish
church. The walls of the church fell bury
ing all tho worshipcrs in the ruins.
Hardly person in the church escaped
without injury. Thirty we're taken out
dead. Houses were thrown down IN other
parts of the village. aud the money loss is
great, and some villagers are practically
ruined.
At Malesina the houses tottered and
fell as though built of cardboard. In this
little village 90 persons we're killed. In
some cases entire families were taken out
Of the ruins dead.
At Martino ~ persons were killed.
Here, as at Proskina, the parish church
was the scene of great number Of fatall-
ties. In the vicinity OF Athens the fatal.-
ties are less numerous but the property
damage is immense. The offices of the
Austrian, Lloyd aud other steamship
companies were partially destroyed. The
church OF st. Elias, between Pieruas and
Phalerun has been racked beyond repair
and il tottering. The domes, walls and
mosaics of the famous Byzantine church
of daphne were very seriously injured.
King George. In a royal yacht, will start
tonight for the maritime districts that
have been devastated by the shocks. He
will be accompanied by the minister of
the interior and other officials. and to-
gether they will decide upon the measures
that must be taken TO alleviate the dis.
tress among the people. The government
will be compelled 10 adopt extraordinary
| measures To help the poor in the districts
affected. Steps TO this end have already
been taken and the state authorities are
giving quick responses to the calls being
made upon them.
The total number of deaths so far re
ported is lG0. but there is scarcely any
question that this number will be aug.
mentcd when the remote villages are
heard from. As this dispatch was being
sent from Athens "a sharp shock was felt
that for n time caused CONSERVATION IN

ers, in order TO settle questions of i'm.
portance concerning their breeding hab-
its. The commission has sought permis.
sion TO kill about 100 seals in these waters
and the same privilege is sought BY the
Canadian commission, which is pursuing
similar line of investigation. But the
laws adopted by tho United States and
Great Britain are sweeping in their terms
that there seems to be no authority to
grant the permits and unless the matter
is adjusted by negotiations to inquire into
the conditions Of seal life in open session,
il must be indefinitely suspended.

Cow have just determined to replace
the European crews of their vessels
by Lascars The owners of the City
line, when asked il such we're the
fact, said, following the example of
other companies in the Indian trade,
they proposed to adopt the policy of
employing Lascars as seaman and
firemen In their steamers IN place of
British subjects. One of the reasons
given for the change was the extra
responsibility that is to be thrown on
the owners under the new Employ
ers' Liability Act in respect of com
pensation for injuries to seamen.
Mr.. Smith George Smith & Sons,

possibly could to prevent accidents
both to their ships and their men,
they objected to any further respon
sibility being placed on them. Ii
they were made liable, he remarked,
for accidents happening in sending a
man aloft on dangerous mission,
which might be the saving of the
whole ship, crew, and passengers, or
in sending off boat to save the crew
of another vessel, then the captain
could not perform such acts of
mercy. Lascars Will be employed on
