A Wild Scene u Terror in n Theater In
the City of Mexico.
MEXICO CITY, Dan. AT 1888 Sun
day night an OScillatOry earthquake
shock was felt in this city and other
parts of the valley of Mexico In the
Arden theater which is the only
play house open in this capital, as the
result of the Aamage sustained by
the other thesters by the previous
shocks, a STAMPEDE occurred. Women
leaped from the lower boxes, and the
audience struggled for escape at the
narrow exit.
In Belem prison, where hundreds of
wretched beings are huddled together
in the prison barracks, pandemonium
reigned, and the guards had hard
work to prevent many from breaking
out of their Quarters and finging
themselves ov@r the walls. The
large supply pipes leading to the city
burst, flooding ;the streets. The dis
turbance was !foretold two months
ago by Juan n. Contreras, of GUIANA
i1ato, the ACCREDITED and locally
famous seismic prognOsticator. who
prophesied that between the 30th of
December and Ethe I'd of January,
this volcanic seere would be visited
by another earthquake disturbance.
Contreras is milking his prophecies
for three events in this line, and says
the distur bancks will continue in
greater or les& degree at periods
during 1895

WASHINGTON, Feb l.-Nesterday's
brief filibuster in the senate, which
was precipitated by senator ChanI-

was the beginning OF the tactics
which some of the Republican sena-

u ose of delaying legislation and is so
recognized by the Democrat, and so
confessed by some of the Republi-
cans. Senator Chandler, when asked
for an explanation Of the meaning Of
his resolution, replied:
''We mean to get Martin out il we
can. and after that is accomplished,
TO get Roach unseated and have Re
