FLORENCE Again shaken.

FLORENCE, June 6.--There was sharp
earthquake shock here today followed by q
succession of disturbances, shock follow
ing shock in rapid succession. The people
became panic stricken and rushed to the
Streets where they remained until day
break, greatly alarmed. Although 1t is not
believed that any serious damage was
done, the inhabitants not having recov-
cred from the panic which followed the
heavy earthquake of Saturday, May 1S.
were even after day break. with difficulty
persuaded to return to their homes.
The greatest excitement prevailed in the
streets, whole families remaining huddled
together guarding their most valuable pos
sessions which they had carried with
them in their flight from their homes
Many persons fell on their knees in the
middle of the streets and prayed, while
others rushed about and thus added to the
panic. The entire police force of the city
promptly turned out, and the authorities
did everything possible to allay the alarm.
So far as known the shocks were only
severe enough to shake down movable ar
tioles from shelves, sideboards, ETC., al
though there was considerable swaying of
houses, particularly in certain districts of
the city, where the shocks seem to have

The guests of the different hotels seem to
have been least alarmed Although they
were aroused from their beds by the earth
quake shocks, the majority of them re-
tanned thoir presence of mind and beyond
looking to the safety of their valuables,
in case of having to leave the hotels sud
denly, no great excitement prevailed
among them.
1t is feared, however, that this second
earthquake visitation within so short pc
riod will have the effect of driving many
persons from the city who would other
wise have remained, and it will undoubt-
edy prevent many travellers from visiting
Florence this season. AS it is, many per-
sons have left the city.

Not To Re Reaobed.

The people of the extreme south of
France in the neighborhood of the Pyre-
nees have hard shift to live. Some of
them gain livelihood by tanning bears.
Many others take to begging, which be-
comes a trade by itself, reasonably re-
munerative and not exactly dishonorable.
Baron Haussmann, in his Memories I"
cites the case of one of these professional
beggars who amassed good property and
finally became mayor of a large commune.
Even then he continued to ply his trade,
especially in the bathing season, when
many tourists visited the country, One
of these outsiders was so taken aback at
the sight of the mayor begging on the
street that he demonstrated with the men

the questions in dispute between the Turk
ish government and the representatives Of
the powers regarding reform in Armenia
is concerned, shows considerable improve
ment today This improvement is un-
doubtedly due to the firm attitude of the
powers in positively refusing to accept any
modification Of the programme which has
been mapped out for the improvement of
the condition of Armenia. The Turkish
minister for foreign affairs, said Pasba,
has paid frequent visits to the British en-
bassy since the reply Of the porte to the
note of the powers was delivered, and it is
hoped these will result in persuadinR the
sultan to accept the inevitable as graceful.

The incident of the assault made upon
the French officer by Turkish officer may

that an indemnity will be paid to the
French officer. In addition, his assailant
will be tried before a military tribunal
and punished If found guilty.

AMONG THE DUTCH.
A Peep at the Grotesquely Picturesque In
hnbitants of Holland.

hubltHhN7 Va
What most enchanted me, though, at
my first sight Of Vlissengen was the group
of burlesque peasantry assembled on the
pier to watch the coming of the steamboat,
says q correspondent of the Boston Herald,
writing from Holland. At least, my first
thought was that they were burlesquers
who had perhaps been stranded in the low
countries by the defalcation of an errant
manager, for had never seen such won
drous beings, except upon the burlesque
stage, or at Mr.. Harrigan's delightful
theater in New York, or in the London
music halls, but it was soon made mani
fest that these were not oaricature Ho-
landers, but genuine ones. And, what
was more, soon discovered that the bur
lesque Dutchman is not nearly so droll as
the genuine one.
They wore vast, ungainly breeches, as
big as barrels at the hips and tapering
down TO reasonably small dimensions at
the bottoms. They wdre short jackets
fabulously bedecked with ornamental
braids and silver buttons as big as the
heels of a policeman's boots. They ha,
big heads, with tiny caps perohed ON their
crowns. Their oakum oolored hair was
chopped across half way up the backs of
their heads and on their feet they wore
the traditional wooden vessels as big as
young canoes. The men are certainly the
drollest specimens that one ever beheld,
but the women are picturesque dears-not
lovely, but, as l say, picturesque. They
were swathed in skirts as huge as hogs.
heads. They wore upon their shoulders
some sort of lace f1ligree which evades the
descriptive powers of poor male chron
icler. Their heads were set in bands Of
silver and of gold, these covered, too, with
1ligree of lace, while fixed into the cap
sides and dangling at the temples were
marvellous queer ornaments of gold.
These gauds seemed strange enough to
me at first but am getting used to them
now. Yet l can never understand why IL

Cling at their eyes you would suppose the

they are not so ruddy checked as one ex
poets to find them. But they are brawny
armed, and their brawny arms are red with
constant exposure to all the winds that
blow and to the sun that sometimes
shines DER Holland. If they are vain,
these peasant women, their vanity does not
concern the female form divine. Except
from uncovering their fat arms, they ply
all their arts to conceal the lines Of the
figure. OF course this may be wisdom on
their part but how can poor outer bar

ing Topic of the Day.
CLEVELAND, June G. Senator Sherman
was asked what significance he attached
30 the Democratic silver convention in H.
linois. Il think, he replied, that the
Democratic party will be hopelessly divid-
ed on the silver question. 1t may be that
Illinois, with the Altgeld following, will
commit the state TO free silver, but the
Democrats in the east will never consent
TO it, l think the Democratic party will
split helplessly on the rock. In our party
it is different. l think that even the Re-
publicans in the far western states will
before long be for the coinage of silver in
limited amounts as will be needed. The
recent discoveries Of gold and a diversity
of interests in that section Of the country
will tend toward more moderate feeling
on the part of western people on the silver
question"
SALT LAKE CITY, June 6.-Senator J.
| NJ. Thurston in an interview on the po-
| litioal situation, said: q" At the time l op-
posed Bryan for the senate ! took the po-
sition that the United States could not
take care Of all the silver in the world
but should take care of the American prod
uct under such conditions as would make
a silver dollar as good as a gold dollar

will make a declaration substantially the
same as that of the national platform in
1892 1t binds the party to take care Of
the American product, and l believe the
obligation will be recognized. A large
wing of the Democratic party which fused
with the Populists will declare for free
and unlimited coinage of silver, feel
now that there will be two Democratic
conventions. When the convention is held,
believe the free silver wing Of the party
will be In absolute control, though 1t may
not be able to nominate on account of

ILLINOIS BANKERS MEET.
The Repeal of the Silver Act and Carlisle's
Change of Heart Commended.


Change of Heart Commended.
Rock ISLAND, Ills, June 6.-The Bank
ers' association of Illinois convened in this
city. 1t is the fifth annual gathering, and
IL brought together the most prominent
men of finance in the state.
President Il. S. Dreyer, in his address,
attributed the revival of business to the
repeal of the silver act, which, If oontin-
ued in statutory force would have ten
denoy to commit the country to free silver.
This, the speaker maintained, would prove
Injurious to commercial interests. He
held there was no necessity for an increase
in the circulating medium. He suggested
an association be formed to protect the
bankers from check raisers, forgers and
others who prey particularly upon banks
The duty of the convention to speak
with no uncertain sound upon the curren-
oy question was urged, and the oonven-
tion was recommended to pass resolutions
that the whole world may know where
Illinois stands.
Henry W. Yates Of Omaha delivered the
address of the day on 1.-The Fallacies Of
Free Silver, it being an exhaustive dis
oussion of the monetary question from
the standpoint of sound currency. He
commended the change of Secretary Car
isles conviction on the silver issue, which
was pointed to as a cheering sign of the
times
