SEVERE SHAKING UP
A Disastrous Earthquake in
Southern California.
WAS THE WORST IN MANY YEARS
JaeintO and Hemet-six Indian
Women Killed.

Los Angeles, CAL, Dec. 27.-At 4:25
O'Clock this morning severe earth
quake shock was felt over large por-
tion OF Southern California. The un-
dulations lasted about IL seconds. The
entire center ofstirc~ shock appears to
have been at San Jacinto, small town

which are built OF brick. Ten or Is
buildings were damaged. chimneys be-
ing toppled over and walls cracked and
shaken, The total damage at San ia.
cinto and Hemet, a small town near
by, is estimated at 500, 900. The large

An undated heliograph message from
Ladysmith, by way of Pietermaritz-
burg, represents the garrison as in no
way daunted by General Buller's re-
verse at Colenso and is confident of be-
ing able to hold out indefinitely.
The mails are just arriving from
Ladysmith, All the correspondents
comment bitterly upon the superiority
of the Boer artillery. The Times cor
respondent says:
''It is impossible to evade the opin-
ion that If British gunners were in the
Boer position, the loss of life and dam
age to property in Ladysmith would be
10 times greater"
The holidays have brought no sur
cease of recruiting activity. Lord
Alwyn Frederick Compton, unionist
member of parliament for the Biggles-
wade division OF Bedfordshire, will
raise corps of mounted men. Lord
salisbury's private secretary, Schom-
burg Mcdonnell, who is a volunteer
officer, has volunteered for service.
The action of the United States gov.
ernment causes considerable discussion
regarding the contraband question as
affecting Delagoa bay and Portugal.
Widely divergent opinions are ex.
pressed.

PROTECTED HER HOME.
Voung Woman Shot and Killed an In
truder.

truder.
Natick, Mass, Dec. 25.--Lewis
Perry, aged 3S, Spanish war veteran,
was shot and killed today by Miss
Lizzie Morse, at her home in West
Natick. Four shots were fred, two of
them taking effect, one in the heart.
Miss Morse, who was placed under ar
rest, says that the circumstances justi-
led her in shooting Perry. The Morse
lamily is one of the wealthiest and
best known in town. Miss Morse and
the members of her family claim that
Perry and Arnold Slappen, ON bicycles,
rode up to the Morse house, demanded
admittance without stating their bust
ness, and, upon being refused, smashed
several windows. Miss Morse went to
the bureau drawer and loaded 22-cal-
iber revolver. She claims that the
men went around to the front Of the
house, where Perry finished smashing
the glass In one of the windows, and
climbed in, In spite of her remon-
strances. After gaining an entrance,
he grabbed Miss Elreta Morse and
wrenched from her croquet mallot,
with which she tried to protect herself
Lizzie rushed to her sisters assist
ance and informed Perry that she
would shoot him if he did not leave
the house. He gave her terrific blow
with the mallet and felled her to the
floor. She managed to get up again,
and told Perry to get out of the house,
when he dared her to shoot. She then
fired four shots at Perry, who managed.
to climb through the window and then
fell dead.

Wnres Advanced.

Pittsburg, Dec. 25.-The Carnegie
Steel Company posted today, at its va
rious works in this city, notices reading
substantially as follows:
Taking effect January l, 1900, com
mon labor at these works will be in
creased to $l.50 per day, and all other
day turn and tonnage labor with GER
tain exceptions), will be increased in
proportion"
The exceptions are the tonnage men
working under sliding scales, where
the rates of wages increase and decrease
in proportion to the proceeds of the
products. This adjustment is TAI per
cent advance on the wages now being
paid, making a total of 25 per cent OF
increase made by the company volun-
tarily since the last general scale.

DEAD OF THE MAINE.
Battleship Texas Arrives at Newport
News with Remains.

Newport, News, Va, Dec 27.--The
battleship Texas, in command OF Cap
tain sigsbee, arrived here shortly be-
fore noon today, with the remains Of
the men who lost their lives by the de-
struction of the battleship Maine in
Havana harbor. The bodies of tho
Maine heroes will be transferred to

IDEAS COME. TOO HIGH
Marconi Wants the Earth for
His Invention.
WE WILL MAKE A BETTER ONE
Yankee Genius VIII De Set to Work at
Once to Build an Apparatus FOR
Wireless Telegraphy.
WE WILL MAKE a BETTER ONE

New York, Dec. 25.-A special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Rear Admiral Bradford has asked au-
thority from the navy department to
establish bureau ss l1e naval training
station at Newport for the develop
ment OF a naval system Of wireless tel
egraphy. 1t is proposed to detail sew
eral officers having high electrical
knowledge at this station and to fur
nish facilities for study and expert
ment, in the belief that something bet
ter than Marconi's apparatus may be
devised.
The project to secure Marconi's sys
tenn for the navy has been practically
abandoned. In the first place its range
was found to be exceedingly limited,
especially when vessels were rolling in
q seaway, and their topmasts continu-
ously varied in height above the water
Then there was the insuperable objec-
tions of interference, two stations be-
ing unable to hold intelligent commun-
ication when a third station within
their circle Of seusitiveness undertook
to send message to either point. This
defect destroys the value of the system
where more than two ships cruised in
squadron or where an enemy chose t.
send disturbing messages.
Finally, Marconi's terms Of $40, 900
for the first year and $40, 900 annually
thereafter were regarded as exorbitant
for the use OF his half-developed inven-
ton. He declined absolutely to modify
his proposition, which compelled the
navy to take 20 sets of apparatus or
more, and to pay $500 outright for each
set. and $500 a year each as royalty
for their use. He refused to send two
or three sets for experimental pur-
poses, and gave American naval officers
to understand that he did not care to
do business on small scale when Eu-
ropean navies were fighting for the ex-
elusive use of his coherer and other es-
sential features, in spite Of the system s
radical shortcomings, as discovered on
this side of the Atlantic. Marconi's
attitude toward the army was scarcely
different, and the signal corps is going
ahead ON sytem Of its own, which
avoids the Italians patents, and al
ready is said to be producing better re-
suits.
Rear-Admiral Bradford believes that
some of the electrical experts of the
naval equipment bureau, If the oppor-
tunity is given them, will produce APP
paratus to meet the peculiar conditions
of the navy without appreciable expen-
diture, and in all probability the ex-
periments he desires will be ordered.
One station will be located at the
training station and the other at the
torpedo school, ON islands about mile
apart, and as progress is made other
tations will be set up at various points
Newport harbor, where torpedo
boats are always available. with vessels
in motion or for miniature feet evolu-
tions. Several forms of apparatus from
American inventors have already been
submitted for test, and doubtless others
will be received when the work is act
ually started.

CoIlided with a Milk Train.

New York, Dec. 25.--A wreck on
the New Jersey Central railroad at
Highbridge, N. j., late last night re-
suited in one death and the injury of
five persons.
Christopher V. Hutsider, a grocer,
was killed. and Peter Eick, Miss Ella
Maxwell and Baggagemsn Frank
Grant were injured. A coal train was
descending the step grade, when the
engineer noticed a signal from a milk
train which was at the station. The
engineer of the coal train applied the
brakes, and detached his engine from
the train and approached the milk
train to find the cause of the delay and
receive orders. The coal cars were not
held by air brakes and came rushing
down the grade, striking the engine,
pushing it into the combination car of
the rear Of the milk train. None of
the injured are seriously hurt.

Paris, Dec. 25.-A pro-Boer demon
stration, convened this evening at the
Tivoli Vauxhall by the executive COM
mittee of the Jeuness Royaliste, ended
i'll riot. The socialists entered in
force and broke up the meeting, amid
indescribable uproar and shouts of
"Vive la social revolution" and "a
bas Deroulede," with counter cries OF
"Vive Deroulede" and "Vive l'armee. "
Several nationalists who were present
endeavored to speak, but they were
quite inaudible. A free fight ensued,
and the proprietor of the hall turned
off the gas. The combatants then
lighted newspapers and continued tn
fight, smashing the fittings of the hal
and using them as weapons. Finally
the police cleared the room, but they
we're compelled to charge several times
before order was re-established.

Butler Destroys the Colenso FOOtbridge
No Further Advance.
London, Dec. 28.-Up to this hour
nothing has arrived from South Africa
that would indicate any change in the
military situation there.
The war office is issuing lists Of fur
ther deaths and wounded, as we'll as
counts OF sickness. The most serious
report OF the last class is that horse
sickness has broken out in both the
British and Boer camps in Natal. Four
hundred British cavalry horses, 1t is
said, have already been shot owing to
the occurrence of glanders. The di-
sease is likely to spread with much
greater rapidity among the British
horses than among the hardy Boer
ponies, and this may mean consider
able prolongation of the campaign.

Washington, Dec. 25.-Among the
familiar bills of the last congress to re-
appear this year are two that were in
troduced by Representative Tongue, Of
Oregon. One is his bill for creating
public park, including Crater Lake,
and much of the surrounding country,
and the other is his bill providing for
the examination and classification of
the lands In the Roseburg and Oregon
City land districts within the grant
made to the Oregon & California Rail
DAD Company. Both bills are prac
tically the same as were presented
the last congress.
The Crater lake bill proposes to set
aside tract of 249 square miles, with
out drawing it from settlement or sale
and making it public park or pleas
ure ground, to be known as the Crater
Lake National Park. This park, if es-
talbished, is to be under the control of
the secretary of the interior, who will
preserve the lands in their natural con-
dition and prevent all residence, min
ing, numbering or other business opera
tions within its limits. The old pro-
vision for restaurants and waiting
rooms is again inserted, as are the pro-
visions for governing and protecting
the park. 1t is proposed that the costs
and expenses Of creating the park shall
be borne by the general government.
1t was this last provision that aroused
Speaker Reed against the bill last con-
gress, for he contended that any ex-
pense attached should be borne by the
state. Now that Reed is out of con-
gress, the bill may have better chance
of becoming a law.
