THE EARTH SHAKEN.
SEISMIC SHOCKS CREATE PANIC
IN CALIFORNIA.
Heavy Damage Done in SAN FRANCHISE
and Other Cities of the Golden State
Quake.

san Francisco, June 22.-People in
this city and state were badly scared
Sunday by an earthquake. The results
in San Francisco were not serious, but
other towns unfortunately did not fare
so well
Hollister, in San Benito county, an
pears at present 70 have been the great
est sufferer. The shock there was the
most severe since the awful disturb
ance in 1868, and the alarm of the peo-
pie was intense. 1t is certain that their
fears were well grounded, for the solid
earth seemed to rise in pillows under
their feet like the waves of the ocean.
1t is very remarkable that no one was
killed, for almost every building in the
town suffered damage. The courthouse
has been entirely denuded of plastering
and ceiling, and hardly pane of glass
remains intact throughout the city.
While the people were in the streets
anxiously awaiting recurrence of the
shocks, the most serious accident oc-
Cured. The fire wall of the Mcmahon
House, one of the principal hotels in
the town, fell with a resounding crash
upon adjacent buildings. With cries
of terror the people ran in every direc-
ton. but fortunately all escaped in
iuries. The damage will amount to
thousands of dollars.
Gilroy, in Santa Clara county. also
felt severely the effect of the tremors
of the earth. While the shocks there
lasted but few seconds the damage
is heavy
The shocks in this city two in quick
succession. We're sharp and alarming
and resulted in rush of people from
their homes and from the sidewalks &c
the middle of the streets. The first
shock occurred exactly at II: 14:0i
o'clock. as timed by the United States
weather bureau. The other followed
almost instantaneously. The vibrations
were from west to east and were tina
most severe experienced here for many
years.
A feeling of anxiety prevails lest
there should be a recurrence of the dis
turbances. People are inclined to the
belief that there is some connection be.
tween the alarming shocks of today and
the recent terrible upheavals in British
India

WAR IN EUROPE.

CoNSTANTISOPLE, June 1.-THE AMI
bassadors of the powers submitted to
the Turkish government a scheme for
deliminatlon of the frontiers of Greece
and Turkey as drawn up by military
attaches of the different embassies
during their recent visit to Thessaly.
Ii gives Turkey the mountain crests
on the frontiers of Thessaly, but the
Turks are not allowed to retain any
of the villages of Thessaly.
LONDON. June 2l.-Turkey will with
draw from Thessaly. A satisfactory
adjustment has been reached by the
representatives of the powers and the
porte. A treaty of peace will be
signed, and Turkey will get slight
rectifica ton of frontier. The only
open question is the method of guar
antecing the indemnity. But this will
probably be secured by the powers
themselves. An alternative sugges-
tion is that committee Of wealthy
Greeks residing in foreign countries
may be appointed to administer Greek
finance and to stand as security for
the payment of the indemnity, The
amount of the indemnity which Greece
will pay, it is believed, will be $4,000,
600. the largest amount the Greeks
could pay. The news that this result
has been reached is received with gen
eral satisfaction in London, and will
tend to allay any special popular
hostility toward the Ottoman envoyat
the jubilee festivities.

Wichita, Kas., June 22.-With a flash
that lighted up the city, a bail OF white
fire shot across the sky here at 10: so

about the size and shape of a barrel

night operator at Burnton, northwest
of here. and between this place and

there was severe and seemed to come
from the south. Nothing could be
learned from Hutchinson. At Garden
Plain. due west of here, the shock came
from the north.

Plan To Annex Hawaii Arouses the
Mlkado's Government.
Washington. June 23--Uncle Sam is
likely to have great deal of trouble
with the Japanese over Hawaii.
Monday the Japanese minister filed,
at the state department a protest!
against the proposed annexation OF
Hawaii to the United States.
The protest is based upon the con-
tention that Japan has treaty with
Hawaii which permits the migration
OF Japanese subjects TO the islands I'M
der certain conditions. Pursuant to
the terms of that treaty large numbers
OF japanese have made Hawaii their
home. IL now the United States an
mex the islands these subjects of the
mikado will lose the rights which they
have obtained, as the system of the
United States is vastly different from
that of Hawaii
The Japanese claim that they are so
largely interested in Hawaii that they
should have been consulted as to an
neXation. They contend that their in
terests are so great as to entitle them
to consideration. OF course it is well
understood that Japan is aggrieyed be-
cause she had designs Of her own upon
Hawaii. and because the United States
has stepped in and beaten her at bsr
own game.

A Miraculous Escape.

During one of the great eruptfons
Of Etna tremendous stream of lava
burst forth from the side OF the
mountain, and descended towards the
town of Catania, threatening it with
destruction.
The tcrror-Stricken inhabitants
brought their patrons, St. Agatha, to
avert the impending catastrophe, but
their prayers for while seemed all
in vain. Closer and closer crept the
dreaded lava stream, before whose
powerful thrust even the town wall
must give way, when 10! aniracle.
A few inches from the wall the
stream was arrested in its progress,
and began to pile itself up in heap
Higher and higher it grew, fed by
fresh lava from behind, until before
it had quite cooled and hardened 1T
had actually oVerStepDed the wall.
St. Agatha, as might be expected,
obtained the credit of this miracle,
as it was thought Ito be; but science
very soon after robbed her Of it
Lava, it has been discovered, is full
Of gas, which gushes out in little jets
and so strong are these jets that the
lava actually blew itself back from
the wall. and as the wall was luckily
strong enough not to be blown down,
the lava kept on blowing itself back
till it had time to cool.

An Impromptu Duet.

Not many audiences have had an
opportunity of seeing Signor Foil,
the famous bassO, break down in a
public performance. The public Of
St. Helena, Lancashire, were, how
ever, favored in this respect one even
ing year or two ago. The famous
vocalist was singing 1.-The Raft, "
when, in its innocence, a child at
tempted to organize an imprOmptu
duet. Unfortunately the next line
in the song was, "Hark! what sound
is that which breaks upon mine ear?''
This so tickled the risibles OF Fol-
that he burst into hearty laughter
and left the platform, followed by
his pianist. Twice he attempted tc
sing the song, but could not. The
inc dent created great amusement
amongst the audience.
