THE town of Rokugo, Japan, has been en-
tirely destroyed by an earthquake. Several
other towns were severely damaged. Many
persons are reported to have been killed.
and still larger number injured, while q
multitude have suffered severe losses by
damage to property. The provinces visited
by the earthquake are the same as those
devastated by the terrible earthquake and
tidal wave of June 10 last, when a large
number of towns were wiped out and the
estimated loss of life was 10000. The prov
inces OF Rekuzen and Rikuchu along the
coast from the island of Kinkasan north
ward were the principal sufferers then.

formed the various foreign representatives

posed upon those found guilty. The police
officials who failed to put stop to the mas
sacres and pillaging will also receive exem-
pointed an extraordinary tribunal to try the
prisoners, the sitting of which will be pub
lie. This court met for the first time last
Thursday. One hundred forty-three in
dictments have been found, the indicted

QUIET now prevails at Constantinople,
and 1t is hoped that danger of further riot
ing is past. The Turkish officials are con-
tinuing the work OF clearing the Khans Of
the Armenians who have been hidden
therein, and the foreign consuls are super
vising this work in order to see that the
conditions prescribed by the representa-
tives of the powers are carried out These
conditions provide that the consuls must
consent to the entry of the house, but no
Armenians can be arrested without the
consent of the consuls, and all arms and
explosives will be handed over to the gov
eminent. This search Of the house of for
eigners is irritating, but it is considered
necessary IL the return to anarchy is to be
prevented
