EARTHQUAKES BY MAN.
volumes OF Compressed Air Let Loos,
Causing Explosions

Volumes of Compressed Air Let Loose
Causing Explosions
Earthquakes would certainly seem
TO belong to the class of accidents de-
scribed as caused by the Visitation of
God"
There are, however, several anthem
tic cases of earthquake due solely to
the carelessness OF man. One OF the
most remarkable Of these entirely de-
stroyed the town of Tselieatsing, in
Northern China.
The damage was caused by a certain
French conCessionaries. who sank a
shaft 5000 feet deep. in hopes of find
ing a water supply for the working of
certain tin mines. The expected water
was not reached; but there suddenly
gushed forth an enormous column OF
oily, evil-smelling air, which brought
forth with it large, dark PARTICLES, the
whole more resembling the vapOr OF a
glowing furnace than ordinary smoke.
The mouth of the shaft was Immediate
ly surrounded with a high wall, in or
der to prevent anyone applying fire to
the opening. either by accident or de-
sign. This very thing. nevertheless.
happened a few days later; a terrific
explosion ensued, the solid earth
rocked to and fro with frightful vio-
lence, and when the dust and smoke
settled a heap Of ruins marked the
place where the town had previously
stood. Equally extraordinary. though
less disastrous, was the
earthquake which occurred, in 1862. at
the Lalle Galleries, in France. A day
or two previously a miner had driven
his pick into a long-forgotten and in
undated working. and practically all
the GOLFERS working in the pit at the
time were drowned. AS the flood ros
the gas and air in the interior Of the
mine were compressed with enormous
force against the roof Of the workings,
until at last, the pressure overcoming
the resistance OF the covering OF earth,
a terrific explosion ensued, blowing
into the air thousands of tons Of de.
bris and many houses. The effects Of
this artiicially produced earthquake
| were lett dt u ulStduCe Oh more IMAM
thirty miles from the seat of the dis
turbance. In Northwestern Pennsyl
vania, in the year 1873, occurred a
man-made earthquake that desolated
several square miles Of country. An
oil well did not flow quickly enough
to suit Its owner, who forthwith pro-
ceeded to tickle it up by exploding in
It's interior a heavy charge Of nitro
glycerine-a common enough practice
In the Pennsylvania petroleum fields
in those days, and one ordinarily a.
tended with but very little risk. I'm.
fortunately, this particular well seems
to have communicated directly with a
vast subterranean oil reservoir. At all
events, an explosion Of hitherto I'M
paralleled magnitude followed. Seven
acres Of ground were blown upward,
leaving exposed a huge crater-like pit,
from the bottom OF which the blax-
ing oil welled In a mighty food. More
than twenty towns and villages were
blotted out Of existence. and scores OF
people met with a horrible death. The
oil blazed for owe q year, and chear
excursions were run to the place frou
all parts Of the state.

Took the Hint.
Washington. Sept. 29.-The imperial
Chinese authorities have taken the
broad hint from the United States that
the exaltation of Prince Tuan and
men of his stripe is not pleasing to
this country.
Acting on tn" suggestion of the
American government that China pun
ish her criminals, news mi late
this evening that Prince Tuan has been
stripped of his salary, servants and of
fetal powers and ordered to appear for
trial for melting and directing riots
against foreigners.
This cheerful indication that China
has actually begun the voluntary pun
ishmcnt of the leaders responsible
for the %outrages at Picking is highly
gratifying to the Washington authori-
ties.
The department of state is inform,
ed by Consul General Goodnow at
Shanghai that Sheng, Chinese ,!irec,
tor of railways and t~elegraphs. has
handed him a decree of the emperor
and empress, dated at Taingnan, Sep.
TENDER 25, blaming their ministers for
encouraging the Boxers. The edict
and deprifcs Prince Tuan of his salary
and official servants.
The decree recited by Sheng is felt
to be of the utmost Importance as in,
dicating a complete change of heart
on the part of the %reigning dynasty.
1t lea that reactionary influences
which have been dominant in Picking
throughout the uprising and have been
continued of late days, have suffered
a complete overthrow and that their
most conspicuous figures are degraded
and on trial.
1t is believed here that if this sec
ton is genuine, it will be hard for any
of the powers to find reasonable pre-
text for longer refusing to heed the
appeals of the Chinese government for
the opening of negotiations looking to
a settlement.
The importance of the action is
shown by the determination to try
Prince Tuan before the imperial clan
court. This is the supreme jurisdic-
ton over members of the imperial
family. 1t is presided over by Prince
Ii, with the well known Prince Ching
as first vice president.
Chinese officials here say that ref.
erence to the case to this court is of
of itself the fullest assurance of the
gravity with which the throne regards
the matter.

O~'CIock-They Then Gave Up and
Took a Recess Till This Evening.

The democratic county convention
is in session this afternoon trying to
nominate a county ticket.
The convention was called Tor 2
o'clock in the court house. The offic.
ial call had been published nearly ev,
cry day this month.
At 2:10 this afternoon there were
nine persons in the hall II on the
stairway and one at the telephone,
eleven in all. Those in the hall sat
looking at one another and waiting for
somebody to say something.
At 2:30 o'clock there were 81 per-
sons present and w. H. Holiday felt
encouraged to say something. He call
ed the convention to order in the
name of Chairman Corthell, who was
absent. Mr.. Holiday was chosen tenn
porary chairman. j. Roy Williams
was suggested for temporary secre-
trary but he declined and c. w. Bus
sard was elected to the position.
The secretary read the call for the
convention.
Then a silence followed which was
broken at length by somebody making
a motion that a committee of five on
credentials be appointed. This began
to look like business and the delegates
braced up.
The chairman appointed T. ]. Day
ton, l.. E. Lepper, W. w. Bower, Ed.
Moon and William Brands.
Just then another delegate came in
and took his seat. The convention
braced up a little more.
On motion of Mr.. Brands a recess
of fifteen minutes was taken for the
purpose, as he frankly put it, of wait
ing for more delegates to arrive.
The fifteen minutes of recess passed
and fifteen minutes more of recess.
The chairman then called the meeting
to order and asked for the report of
the committee OF credentials. It's re-
port was that on the credentials pre-
scented the following named delegates
were entitled to sit in the convention:
Laramie, First ward--C. E. Blair,
Jas. Stirling, w. w. Bower, N. E. Cor

there were no contests.

Washington, Sept. 29.-The United
States legation guard in Picking will
remain there all winter. General
Miles today stated plans were now
contemplated for the retention of the
force in Picking, although it is posi-
BILE the guard may be withdrawn if
there is any danger of general war
fare between the allied forces and the
Chinese. Speaking of the military sit
@uation in China, General Miles said to
your correspondent today:
There is some misunderstanding as
to The number of troops now in Pc
king. There are not more than 1000
of our soldiers in the Chinese capital.
The remaining forces are between Pc
king and Taku. They came too late to
participate in the rescue work md

quently there will be nc apparent di-
minution of the present guard in Pc

Hay Returns.
Secretary Hay will return to the
capital from New England next week
and assume charge of the diplomatic
negotiations toward China. There
will be no change in policy, however,
and no additional notes unless it be-
comes more apparent that the dowa-
ger empress is still the reigning pow

of the treasury also wires he will be
home Monday. The alignment OF the
powers on the German proposition to
make the punishment OF the Chinese
ringleaders a condition precedent is as
follows: Great Britain, Russia ana
France stand with the United States
in regarding this proposition as mex
pedient. Japan occupies a middle at
titude;; she is willing to follow the
German lead II all the other powers
are agreeable, but only for the sake
of preserving harmony among the
powers, and not from a belief in the
wisdom of the German proposition.
Austria and Italy stand shoulder to
shoulder with Germany, making the
dreibund a solid front. The first nam
