of the destructive earthquake at Kuchan.
The first shock occurred at noon, Thurs
day. Jan. II. This was followed by another
and in three minus the town was in
ruins. The loss of life was enormous. Most
of the victims were crushed to death by
falling buildings, but many were burned to
death, the ruins in which they were en-
tangled having caught fire. Six hundred
were entombed in a mosque, while engaged
in prayer. Six hundred other persons per-
ished in the various baths. The survivors
could obtain neither food nor water for
three days, telegraph lines having
been destroyed. Many who escaped
death by the earthquake persisted
from hunger and exposure. The weather
was very cold. Not single building re-
mains standing in the town. Since the 18th
the shocks have been repeated daily. One
shock, which occurred at o'clock on the
evening of Jan. %, was equal in severity
to the first one, which caused the destruc-

followed by three others at intervals from
one to four hours apart. 1t is pitiful TO

ILL-ADVISED STRIKE.
Chief Arthur's View of the Brooklyn
Caroline Trouble.

CINCINNATI o., Jan. 25.-P NJ. Arthur,
Chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, was here to-day, en- route to San
Francisco to settle differences the
Southern Pacific. Referring to the street
railway strike in Brooklyn, Chief Arthur
said:
81 think it is ill-advsed. Strikes are bad
things, as l said. But ! think a strike par
ticularly ill-advised, which throws many
men out of work when there are many
idle men in the country. How can they
hope TO succeed when there are a dozen men
to take the place of every man who goes
out? This is particularly bad time to
strike. 1 believe that the railroad COM
panies were wrong when they refused to
arbitrate with their men. l recognize the
perfect right of capital to an adequate re-
turn upon it's investment. And these rail-
road corporations have right to a reason
able compensation for their enterprise and
outlay. But, the other hand, the en-
poye has a right to reasonable compenSa-
ton. / do not believe that capital has a
right to make such an outlay that it cam
not meet it's obligations, except by taking
it from fair living wage. Judge Gaynor,
as l understand it, has required the Brook
Ign railroads to their roads or show
good and sufficient reason why they can
not. / think it wrong If the court should
revoke their charters, if the railroads can
show that they have been detained by force
full and unlawful means. But l do blame
the corporations for refusing to treat in
the matter That should have been done
in the first place.

and therefore have nothing to say in reply

You appeal to statistics, which shows that
you think that figures won't lie, while I

We need not figure on the wages question;

by saying that used it only IN the sense
that all should share equally in the value of
space; that we could not share equally In
the possession. e., the area Of the earth,
but that we could share equally in its value
by taking in taxes, for public purposes. all
the value of land caused by increase of
population and general Improvement. We
need not, as you suggest, HE ourselves to
Africa to enjoy space in equality, but can
dwell IN beautiful cites like indianapolis,

last citadel of exploitation. and like all
other institutions which violate the law OF

daily contributing its valuable aid. Will you
not kindly share with me your exclusive
