MANY PEOPLE PERISHED,
Details of the recent Earthquakes i'm
the Leeward stands.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Journal to-
morrow will say: Earthquakes are shak-
ing the Islands of ~Guadeloupe and Mont
serat. of the Leeward group in the West In
dies The item afterward says it is re-
ported that a number of persons had been
killed at Guadeloupe. Details were supplied
by the Quebec liner Madiana, which ar
rived here yesterday from Leeward island
ports. When the steamer reached Antigua,
forty mile from Guadeloupe, May l, every
one was discussing the shocks. The heaV-
lest had occurred two days before when
fifty colored people had been killed by be-
ing buried in the ruins of their houses. In
a brick church a congregation of two hum
dred people were caught by the collapse of
the walls and fifty crushed TO death. Those
in the street saw the houses sway back and
forth and the walls of brick structures
crack. 1t is also said twenty-five or thirty
people had lost their lives at Point-a-Pitre
Twelve brick houses in Guadeloupe had
been demolished and scores of others
cracked and scanned by the shocks. From
Antigua the Madiana steamed to Montser-
rat, arriving there on May 2. There, too,
a state of terror existed. On April 30 that
island was rocked like d boat at sea. Six
houses were destroyed, but no lives lost.

MACHINISTS ADJOURN.
No Action Taken Regarding Tenders
of Type-Setting Machines.

KANSAS CITY, May II. = The conven-
ton of the international Association of
Machinists, which has been in session here
for the past week, with delegates present
from all parts of the United States and
Canada, adjourned to-day to meet two
years hence at Buffalo, n. Y. An executive
board appointed last night will remain in
session for another day to consider minor
matters. No business was transacted at
the closing session. A resolution demanding
control of tenders of type-setting machines
of the members, but it was decided at the
last moment not TO bring the measure up.
The adoption of the resolution would mean
a war with the International Typographical
Union. which also desires the prerogative
Of debating to employing printers who use
the Merganthaler linotype machines the
class OF Workmen or macniniStS who shall
lCok after their machines. The resolution
declares that only members of the machin-
lists union shall be eligible to tend the
linotype machines; that there shall be one
machinist in each printing office that has
at least six machines; that for every six
machines in an Office there shall be one
machinist and that where less than six ma
chlneS are used a member of the typograph-
ical union may be employed to tend the ma
chimes and work as an operator. Thu del
egates to the machinists' convention con-
tended that a man to properly discharge the
duties of that position should be a skilled
machinist. The printers meet this argu-
ment with the statement that the most
expert machinist in charge of linotype ma
clerk, who never worked a day in a ma
chine shop.

Republicans Editorial Association

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
In to-day's Journal | see that the exec
utive committee of the Republican Editorial
Association, in session at Indianapolis on
Monday, had selected the time and place
for the summer meeting. The place, Mack
irac island, is all right. But. as we are
to go to Detroit, why not change the time
so as to accommodate those who would
like to attend the annual meeting of the
National Republican League Clubs in that
city July 10? BY such IN we
could kill two birds with one stone-attend
the league meeting and have our summer
outing at the same time. ] merely make
this suggestion for the consideration of the
executive committee. By such an arrange
ment a large attendance at the league
meeting is assured. 1T is the duty of the
Republican party to keep alive and en-
courage the organization Of the league
clubs No other organizations within the
rarity do as much effective service TO the
party as the Republican League Clubs of
the United States. Let US go up to Detroit
with a big delegation and put Indiana in
the front rank of active, enthusiastic work
ers. WILL FL. CRAIG.

The Holy War.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis journal:
The Methodist brothers who have had the
bravery and honesty of conscience to call a
roase convention to meet in Masonic Hall,
INDIANAPOLIS, the 18th of next september
deserve the very highest praise from every
lover of the grand old priest-ridden Meth
odist Church. The convention. L UNDER
stand, is to organize the lay members and
demand equal lay representation in the
conferences. This reform is badly needed,
deserved and voted on years ago and car
ried by the churches, but through the cum
ming and Willy ways of the preachers the
lay members have been cheated out of their
rights until their elastic patience Will en-
dure the unfairness no longer. The fact is,
the members of the Methodist Church are,
as it We're, but knots on the religious log
in the vast wilderness of priestly DONNA
ton and sanctified wire pulling. The KNOTS
are seldom noticed except when the preacn-
erS want to take up a collection. then the
knot is in demand. Because of the fact
that the lay brethren are excluded almost
entirely from any influence III the General
Conference, the business affairs or the
church are anything but satisfactory.
Debts and mortgages flourish everywhere,
and still the preachers cry for more
more AXE the foreign missionary work
as a sample. Into this fake-hole we dump
one million of dollars every year-and for
what? Not one line of good, fair proof can
be given that there is any return worth our
sacrifice. OF course. we hear missionary
sermons of the wonderful work in "Taho-
ma but no disinterested traveller has ever
found any evidence of success. The lay
members, almost to a man and woman,
want to use all the energy the church has
on the thousands of needy right at our
doors. but the preachers say give. give for
the foreign failure. 1t IS about time that
this p~rotomorphic system be brought to 81
close. This movement, headed by such

BORING FOR NATURAL STEAM.
1t Is Said 1t Can BE Found Two Miles
Down.
Washington Star.

washington star.
The deepest well ir the world will soon
be completed near Pittsburg. Pa. 1t is
new more than one mile deep, and, when
finished, ii may reach down two miles in
the earth. 1t is being bored In the inter-
est of science. The object in penetrating SO
deeply is to determine just what the inte-
r,or of the human footstool is Ike. From
a commercial point of view the well was 2
success long ago. A comparatively few feet
below the surface both gas and oil We're
struck in paying quantities., but the COM
pany owning the plant determined 10 dedi-
cate it to science. and invited Prof. Will
liam HallOck, OF Columbia College, TO carry
on q series Of temperature Investigations
as the hole is carried deeper and deeper into
the earth. The results of the investiga-
items are very interesting, and IL Is tha
that the ultimate result of the boring WIZ
prove to be of widespread economic as Well
as scientific value. Most significant of all
the facts SO far ascertained Is that the Well
grows steadily hotter as its depth increases.
II is the intention of the company TO con-
tinue the boring process until something
entirely new and original IS developed. This
may seem a crude way of putting the state
ment. but il has long been a theory among
wellmen that If 1t is possible TO go deep
eT ough some new geologic condition or
economic feature would be found 10 exist.
At the very least they claim natural steam
would be encountered, or the we'll walls
would finally become so hot that water
could be pumped down cold and pumped
up I'm the form of steam, and thus the
natural power of the future be obtained.
AT any rate, there is material for much
speculation, and the interest becomes great
er in increased ratio as the drill desceuds,
pen almost any day. One remarkable fea-
ture of the we'll is that the gas found near
the surface is now used to operate the
powerful engines which do the drilling.
Thus the natural power already issuing
from the well is utilized for the purpose Of

suonish Bank Not Closed.

HAVANA, May 1.-THE Spanish bank
has not suspended. The report to that
effect grew out of the suspension by the
Spanish bank of the exchange OF paper
bills for silver, which step was brought
about by order of the government AS a
result crowds of people went to the bank
yesterday to pay their taxes believing that
scrip would not be received in future on ac-
count of the exchange of paper for silver
being done away With and also owing to
the rumor that paper money would be
listed. thus causing great losses. The bank,
however, continues open and is doing bust

ing to sail by the American steamer St.
Paul on Wednesday, May 5, and had his
cabin arranged for when his five interesting
children, who are all under six years OF
age, were seized with w%hooping cough. The
manager of the steamship line declined Ia
take the family for fear of c%ontagion. Mr.
Tower then applied to other steamship
agencies and, after q good deal of cabling
back and forth, one of the English com
panies agreed TO take them, %whooping
cough and all, provided they would consent
to be quarantined in a certain part of the
vessel. This Mr., Tower agreed to. and al

which are separated frcm the rest of the
ship, but sufficiently large to accommodate
his family, with a number of nurses and
maids, who are TO accompany them.

Ancient Greek Music.


Hon. c.. Osborne Ward, in May Arena.
Ancient Greek music was written in a
straight line. and not in a scale by ascend
ing and descending tones. There were many
characters, each of a different power. and
the tone was known by the shape rather
than the position of the note.
Scientists of the Athenian School. who
are conducting extensive excavations under
the auspices and at the expense Of the
French government, a couple Of years ago
found at Delphi a hymn 10 Apollo, with
both music n words. This strange itera-
ture is legibly engraved on a twenty-three
by twenty-eight-inch marble tablet set in
