EARTHQUAKE At SEA
Experience of Ship st. Mirren
Off the Columbia.
FURIOUS WAVES AND NO VIM
Instruments on shore show There Wat
Disturbance Some Hours Before
Distance KeCkOmed.

Astoria, Or, May 1.-THE British
Ahip Saint Mirren that arrived in thir
morning from Yokohama experienced
a peculiar phenomenon last evening
1t was about half past 6 when Captain
Cordiner. the bar pilot. boarded he,
from the pilot schooner San Jose.
The wind at that time was blowing
light from the south, and there WAS
only a moderate swell on. Suddenly
the sea to the southwark was seen ~
be in commotion, as if a hurricane was
blowing, but the wind did not increase
as an immense wave approached the
vessel. The ship was tossed about
for over two hours in sea that would
bury her in the water and then again
lift her up and drop her down. The
seas frequently washed clear over her.
After this had continued for about two
hours it subsidized as quickly as it had
risen, and the wind Immediately shift.
ell from south to east, then in short
time to northwest. going almost around
the compass in a few hours. The wind
from the northwest was soon in the
nature Of u gale. and the ship was un.
der lower topsails during the night,
but no injury was done to her. Cap.
tain Hamilton and Captain Cordiner
at first thought that tidal wave was
coming. but the long succession OF big
waves leads them to the belief that
there must have been an earthquake in
that vicinity
The self-recording government ba.
rometer in the office OF Weather OBJ
server Johnson, of this city, shows that
about 4 O'Clock Yesterday morning
there was an electrical or seismic dis
turbance in this vicinity and the tele.
graph wires also gave evidence of it at
the same time. While the ship was
experiencing the waves off the mouth
OF the river the barometer remained
steady. This would Indicate that the
waves resulted from an earthquake
that happened early in the morning,
and as the effect OF an earthquake in
Japan is felt here 10 days later, it can
readily he estimated how far away it
was.

THE PEOPLES PARTY.
Opening Of the National Convention At
sioux Falls.


sioux Falls.
Sioux Falls, S. D., May 1.-THE
National convention of the Peoples par.
" began business ut 300 O'Clock today,
in the big tent wigwam ON the top of
the hill on the western side of the city
Of Sioux Falls. There have been larger
crowds in attendance upon national
conventions, and possibly there have
oeen questions upon which more en-.
thusiasm has been manifested, but
there have been few similar events
which have been marked by more evi.
dent sincerely of purpose or more pro.
nounced decorum OF behavior.
The big tent was arrayed in full
dress attire for the reception ard enter.
tainment of its guests, and the struct.
ure proved in every way equal to the
service required of it. The interior o!
the tent was made resplendent by
lavish display OF the national colors.
The platform was literally decorated
with the Stars and Stripes, and the up.
rights of the structure bore aloft excel.
lent black and white portraits of Wash.
ington, jefferson, Lincoln and Bryan.
The accommodations for delegates,
for distinguished guests, for the press
and for ordinary visitors proved excep-
tionally good, equal to those of most
conventions held in buildings of more
permanent character. A floor was laid
over the space assigned to the dele.
gates, and comfortable seats were as.
signed to all in attendance. The acous.
tic properties OF the tent proved to he
equal to those of most halls of equal
size, and it is needless to say that the
lighting and ventilating facilities We're
frst.class. The weather was ideal in
all respects.
There We're probably 500 delegates in
their seats, and surrounding them was
u ring OF alternates and visitors mum
bering 600 to 800. Seats had been pro.
vided for much larger number, but
the attendance did not appear meager,
and it may be remarked that what was
lost in attendance was compensated fol
in enthusiasm. From the arrival OF
the Minnesota delegation bearing Bryan
and Towne banners there were out.
