shock of earthquake were felt today
in the valley Of Mexico. The first one
took place at $50 o'clock this morning,
the duration being several seconds and
at Sis o'clock in the afternoon came
a succession of shocks, lasting nearly a
minute and producing great alarm.
People rushed into the streets and knelt
praying, or locked under the protect
ing arch of doorways. Customers in
shops held On to counters to support
themselves, and all the busy life Of the
great city came TO a ~standstill. Many
houses were cracked. The national pal
ace was racke in eleven places and
in some places the side walks were
broken.
The electric and telephone wires
swung like loose ropes in a gale. Coach
horses and mules drawing street cars,
stopped and braced themselves to re-
sist the trembling under their feet.
Chambion's silk factory fell in and il
is feared many operatives were injur-
ed. The car stables fell in, killing 4
number of mules and a child. Tele-

quake was felt at Vera Cruz and Co

The Wine Operators and the Miners
Agree on Prices for Mining

Pittsburg, January 24.-Carnegie's
Hall, in Allegheny, rang with the
hymn America tonight, in ratifica-
ton Of the settlement of the wage diff
f%erences which was effected between
the coal operators and miners of the
states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
Pennsylvania. The settlement means
peace for more than 100, 900 men and
their employers, as far as the general
issues are concerned.
The settlement was reached after
one of the most notable gatherings in
the history in the industry. The lead
ers of both sides made a bitter fight
and at times it looked as if there would
be a split and chaos prevail in the
great industry.
Under the new agreement the rates
in Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania will
be the same as at present. For run of
mine coal, the rates will be AZ 66-10O
cents a ton; inch and a quarter scheen
coal 66 cents a ton; drivers and outside
labor will receive the same wages as
at present and eigh hours will consti-
tute a days work
In Illinois the run of mine system
will prevail. The machine d~ifferential
is to be arbitrated. The operators want
a flat differential of 10 cents a ton be-
tween pick and machine mining and
the miners want it reduced to Z cents.
The operators make the d~ifferential rs
per cent. of the pick mine rate in IA
vor of machine mined COAL. This rate
will be fixed, however, by a board of
arbitration which will be composed of
the presidents of the miners state or
CARNATIONS in Indiana, Ohio and the
Pittsburg district, and one operator
from each state. These six are to select
the seventh man, who shall not be a
resident of the state Of Illinois.
