Hundred Persons PerIshed.
Constantinople, Oct 3.-It is now
estimated that 1900 persons persisted
in the earthquakes in Asia Minor,
around Adm. The first shock oc-
Cured at 4 o'clock in the morning Of
Sept. 20, and lasted 40 seconds. The
effects were appalling. Whole villages
were completely destroyed. The earth
quake was felt as far as Scio, Nifty
lene and Smyrna.
The latest advices from the stricken
area show that men, women and chill
dren were buried in the ruins of their
dwelling places before they realized
their danger. Numbers of bodies still
lie beneath the debris About SOC per-
sons were killed at Sarakeni and some
500 at Denizli, where three-fourth of
the buildings fell There was propol :
tionate loss of life in many of the
smaller villages.
One consequence of the earthquake
is the subsistence of the level of the
Adm district by two yards. Sui
phurous springs burst out in the val
ley of Noander, and the country be-
tween Adm and Denizli became full
of crevices, out of which rushed black,
muddy water with sufficient volume to
wash away flock Of 1000 sheep.

own lathe. undai' tie guidance Of
Edward Wniiiiis Dewey, a nephew of
the admiral. who has been New
Yorker for years, the family party left
the Waldorf-Astoria in five carriages
and were driven to the steamer Sandy
Hook, where they were the guests or
Mayor Van Wyck and the city. Charles
Dewey, the admiral's elder brother.
was the dean Of the party. He is
tall, stately old gentleman, with
cordial manner and an unlimited adj
miration for his younger brother His
wife and son and sons wife were with
him.
Sir Thomas Upton came in for
goodly share of the enthusiasm. 1t
seemed to those on board the Erin that
it was Upton day as we'll as Dewey
day. The guests OF Sir Thomas were
some two miles distant from the Olym-
pia during the parade Up the river, but
certainly tile greeting extended to the
owner of the Shamrock could not have
been more enthusiastic or more gener-
Gus. 1t began early in the morning
and continued until the end of the
great river pageant.
Admiral Dewey had a day of rest on
Sunday. The functions and the recep-
lions that have figured so prominently
in the daily life of the admiral since
his arrival eff Sandy Hook last Tues
day morning had proven almost too
much for his strength. The admiral
las been under such perpetual phys
ical and nervous stain that he was
almost exhausted. Saturdays cere-
monies were the most taxing on his
strength of any that he has yet had to
undergo. and he appeared on Sunday
looking pale and worn. Despite the
fact that he retired early Saturday
evening and enjoyed good nights
rest. the admiral on Sunday was too
fatigued to more than remain in his
room the greater part OF the time.
Many people invaded the Waldorf-As-
toria who wished to send cards to Adj
miral Dewey, but few were permitted
to do so, the admirals fatigue being
given as the reason. The only public
functions of the day were the recep-
ton of the committees from Chicago
and Philadelphia that had come to in
yite the admiral to visit their cities.
The admiral said that he would visit
both cities. but gave no intimation as
TO the date. saying he must first visit

Columbia ALLOWS Shamrock Time,

New York, Oct. 3-One of the great
est surprises for yachtsmen since the
arrival of the Shamrock in these wa
tiers was the announcement officially
made at the New York Yacht club last
night that the Columbia would have
to allow the Shamrock six and thirty
one one hundredths seconds on a 50
mile course 1t was generally sup
posed that the Shamrock, by reason OF
her greater sail spread and apparently
larger hull. would have to give the
Columbia something like minute time
allowance over the 80 mile courses
which they are to sail. 1t appears,
however, that Designer Fife, while
giving the Shamrock larger sail plan
than the Columbia, has at the same
time so constructed her hull as to give
a shorter water line by almost two

this part OF the arrangements by
