dren Buried in Debris.
Constantinople, Oct. at is estimated
that fifteen hundred persons perlsbed In
the earthquakes in Asia Minor around
Aidin.
The first shock occurred at O'Clock on
the morning of Sept. 20 and lasted forty
seconds. The effects were appalling.
Whole villages We're completely DESTROYED
The earthquake was felt as far as scio
Mitylene and Smyrna.
The latest advices from the stricken area
show that men, women and children were
buried in the ruins of their dwelling places
before they realized their danger. Numbers
Of bodies still lie beneath the debris.
About five hundred persons We're killed
at Sarakeni and some five hundred at Den
iii, where three-fourths of the buildings
fell There was proportonate loss of life
in many of the smaller villages.
The disturbance has not yet subsided, al
though its strength appears to be spent.
The shocks continue almost da ly, but
with no great violence. The population
is encamped in the open.
One consequence of the earthquake is
the subsistence of the level of the Adm
district by two yards. Suphurous springs
burst ouL in the-valiey OF Noarder, and
the country between Adm and DenizB be-
came full Of crevices, out Of which rushed
black muddy water with sufficient volume
to wash away a flock of 10000 sheep.
The villagers of the valley of Noander
report that for several days previous to
the catastrophe domestic animals were
greatly disturbed, Believing bleating and
barking.

TO Sporting Men.
New York oct 2.--The first race Of the
international series between the American
yacht Columbia and the British challenger
Shamrock will be sailed tomorrow, wealth
er permitting, over a course fifteen mites
to windward or leeward and return, off
Sandy Hook.
The start Is to be made at II O'Clock
from Sandy Hook lightship, unless pos
ponement is ordered. But no race of the
series is to be started later than 1870
D.
one Of the greatest surprises for yachts
men, since the arrival of the Shamrock
I'm these waters, was the announcement,
officially made al the New York Yacht
club tonight that the Columbia would
have to allow the Shamrock six and thir-
ty-oue one huudredths second on a thirty
miles course.
II was generally supposed by yachtsmon
who have seen both yachts under sail
and in The dry dock that the Shamrock,
by reason Of her greater sail spread and
apparently larger hull would have to give
the Columbia something like a minute
time allowance over the thirty-mile courses
which they are to sail.

Nations Weak Ruler.

Nations Weak Ruler.
Victoria, b. c., Oct. 2.-The steamer
olympia has reached here from Yokohama
with over 200 natives and four white pas
sengers.
A dispatch from Pekin to the North
China News says that arrangements for
the dethronement of the Emperor Kaung
Esu are proceeding apace. The Empress
Dowager's choice has definitely fallen up
Oh Pu Esuan the 9-year-old son OF Duke
Tsab Ian, to succeed Kuan. Hsu as En-
peror of China. This imperial candidate
can only speak the Manchu dialect and
knows no Chinese.
Kuang Hsu has already been urged to
draw up a memorial to the Empress Dow
ager, asking to be allowed to resign his
throne owing to his chronic illness. Pre-
tense will be made by The Empress Dow
ager to refuse acceptance of the resigna-
ton and the Empress will be
asked to consider the matter again.
This Will be done three times, and at the
third time the resignation is to be ac
cepted as showing that the Emperor is
really anxious 10 resign.
The troops of Prince Ching and Jung Lu
will be under arms ON the occasion of the
dethronement in case something untOward
should happen. Duke Tsai Ian is a close
friend of Prince Ching, and there are
doubts whether the Jung Lu party will
be satisfied at this further str5ngthening
of the Ching faction by the appointment
of the new Emperor.
There are rumors that perhaps Russia
viii have something TO say before the de-
thronement takes place, as Chinese ofn-
cials in Fang Ticn have recently resolved
that the Russians are preparing 10 send a
large force TO Pekln in a few days

THE JUNIOR REPUBLIC
The Miniature Government Will Soon Be in
Active Operation.
Donations of Money or Material Ask
ed FOr-Subscriptions Received
to the Local Fund.

The preparation for a start in the active
work of the Junior Republic movement are
well under way. and it is likely that some
time in August will see boys actually run
ming their little republic on the Willie New
bold farm, near Annapolis Junction. In the
past few weeks much work has been done
at the farm. The house has been or is, in
course of being repaired, while full and
pure water supply will be shortly ready
for use. Mr.. Rawson Warren, the superin-
tendent, is at the farm actively superin-
tending the work being done. The eXecu-
tive committee held recent meeting at the
farm and thoroughly went over the ground.
Tie members are all of opinion that the
place affords wide possibilities Donations
of material for furnishing the rooms and
the farm would be very gladly received by
the trustees. In order to get started right,
the executive committee has decided that
nothing but iron or metal beds shall go in
any of the rooms. For the farm, anything
from horses to bean poles would come in
handy Donations to the Washington fund
for the establishment of the republic are
still being asked for by the finance COM
mittee. of which Mr.. Thos. c. Noyes is
chairman. and Mr.. Chas. j. Bell treasurer.
