CAUSED MUCH MISERY.

Earthquakes in India Affected Large
Area and Resulted in Great Damage.
Calcutta, June 15.-Later reports in
crease the gravity of the earthquake
shocks of Saturday last in this city
and its vicinity. An extensive area
was affected, causing much misery
among many of the poor Europeans,
Eurasians and natives.
The shocks were felt at Simla, Agra,
Bombay, Manipur and at many places
far down the central provinces. An
immense amount of damage was done
at Hooghley, Burdwan and Dacea,
where several persons were killed, and
at Gopalpoor, Patna, Ransganj, Bal
asor and Monghyr. A terrible shock
was experienced at Darjiling, where
many houses were destroyed.
Traffic on the Eastern Bengal rail-
road is interrupted Bridges have
been damaged, and a train was over
turned on the Assam Bengal line The
ground opened at Manipur and the
town of Kohima, north of Manipur,
was severely damaged. The heat pre-

GAIN IN BUSINESS,
Dun's Review of Trade Says There is a
Distinct, Though Moderate increase
Large Sales of Wool.

Dun's Review of Trade Says There is a
Distinct, Though Moderate Increase
Large Sales of Wool.
New York, June 12-R. G. Dun &
Co. S weekly review of trade says: The
gain in business continues, not without
fluctuations and at the best moderate,
but yet distinct. 1t is still in quanti-
ties rather than prices, although in
some branches an advance in price ap-
pears, but on the whole the number of
hands employed, the volume of new or
ders and the amount of work done are
slowly increasing. Prospect of good
crops of wheat and cotton helps, grow
ing demand from dealers whose stocks
gradually gaining consumption de-
plete also helps, and in the money and
exchange market large buying of
American securities has an influence.
The annual report of cotton acreage
by the Financial Chronicle shows an
increase of 5.S3 per cent. in all the
states and an increase in every state in
spite of the floods which, with no more
favorable weather than that of last
year, would mean a crop of nearly o.
100, 900 bales. The market is 1-l6 weak
er, partly because some southern mills
are trying to limit production.
Some large woolel mills are prepar-
ing to increase output and have bought
heavily, sales of foreign wool at Bos-
ton alone having reached C,3IO, 900
pounds out of s,36S,OO sold of all kinds
at the three chief markets. Carpet
mills at Philadelphia which have just
resumed after a long idlene IS, were
also buyers and all are now running
nearly full time A somewhat better
order demand for woolens is reported,
especially in medium and high priced
pOods

committee appointed to investigate the
condition of the miners in the anthra-
cite coal regions made its report to the
senate last night and the report was

THE testimony taken" says the re-

affairs FOR two years. The miners have
earned an average of about 81 per
week, upon which in many instances
they are compelled to support largo
families"
The committee recommends the en-
actment of law abolishing company
stores; the prohibiting of discounting
money orders belonging to the miners;
the enactment of compulsory semi
monthly pay law, and the passage of a
resolution requesting Pennsylvania
representatives. in congress to vote for
and urge the passage of law restrict

A MERITED REBuKE.
The Representative OF One of the Wander

President Mckinley.

The Representative OF One of the Wander
bits Receives a Lesson In Courtesy from
President Mckinley.
Asheville, N. C., June 15.-An unex-
pected incident of President McKin-
ley's visit developed Monday when it
became known to newspaper men ac-
companyinC the party that permission
to enter Biltmore house, George w.
Vanderbilts splendid mansion, had
been refused to them, while extended
to other members of the party. Mr..
Vanderbilt is abroad and his repre-
sentative, Charles McNamee, is with
him. In the absence of both the es-
tate is governed by E. ]. Harding, an
Englishman. When waited on by the
local committee of arrangements a day
or two ago for permission for the presi-
dent and party to enter Biltmore he
objected to receiving any members of
the party other than the presiden. his
cabinet and ladies with them. - the
course of conversation with the COM
mittee he said: "Mr. Vanderbilt spits
on newspaper notoriety and SO do / "
SO the matter rested till yesterday,
when the president arrived and Mr..
Porter, his secretary, was told of the
incident He must have informed the
president, for later Mr.. Harding was
called up on the telephone by Mr.
Porter, who informed Mr.. Harding
that the president considered the
newspaper men were his invited guests
on the trip and that they were as much
contingent of the party as members
of the cabinet.
Furthermore, Mr.. Porter notified
Harding that the president had au-
thorized him to say that if the news
paper men were barred from the man
sion he would not step his foot inside
the estate. This brought things to a
crisis and Mr.. Harding capitulated and
the newspaper men were admitted to
the mansion on the same footing as the
president and his cabinet.
Before going to Biltmore, Mr.. Nc
hinley attended meeting of colored
people. The hall was filed to its ut
most capacity. For ten minutes he
shook hands with all who were pre-
sented to him. Presently the president
called for air and several colored men
famed him while the handshaking
went on

PLAN TO ANNEX HAWAII.
President Mckinley is Said to be Ready TO
Onieially IndOrse the Political Union OF
the Islands with Our Country.

President Mckinley is Said to be Ready to
Omcially Indorse the Political Union of
the Islands with Our Country.
Washington, June ia treaty for
the annexation of Hawaii to the United
States will be sent to the senate soon
after the return of the president, un-
less present plans are altered. The
treaty has been written and all its de-
tails were fully agreed upon before the
president and Secretary Sherman left
for the south. There is no doubt, it is
said, of the presidents acquiescence in
the terms of the treaty for the reason
that he was made fully aware OF
them before he left.
The treaty is on the general lines OF
the treaty negotiated during the ad-
ministration of President Harrison and
withdrawn by President Cleveland. 1t
provides for annexation without the
exaction of conditions on the part OF
the Hawaiians as to the form of gov
ernment to be vouchsafed to Hawall,
leaving that question to be entirely
disposed of by the government OF the
United States. The United States will
agree to assume the debt of the pres
ent Hawaiian government, but will
come into possession of all the Hawaii
an crown lands and other possessions.
Several senators have received def
mite information concerning the exist
ence of the treaty and are well ac-
quainted with it's terms, though they
refuse to discuss the matter The
knowledge of the existence OF the
treaty has been communicated to mem
bers of the committee on foreign rela-
tions and majority of them approve
it. This will enable the committee to
speedily report the treaty to the SEN
ate, so that it may be taken up imme-
diately after the tariff bill is disposed
of.
The senate has been canvassed by
senators favorug annexation and they
count upon the two-th."ds vote neces-
sary to insure ratification.
The present condition in Hawaii, it
is said, has had much to do with favor
able consideration of the treaty of an
nexation. The government of Hawaii
and the people who support it are very
much concerned about the Japanese
situation. Information received by
Hawaiians in this city is that the Jap
anese at any time may take some action
looking to acquisition of the island.
The sentiment in the senate seems to
be that Japan in no way should con-
troll the islands or get foothold there.
