HUNDREDS ARE DEAD.
Mexican City Suffers From Terrible
 Earthquake.

Mexican City Suffers From Terrible
 Earthquake.
 CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 1S-One Of the most terrible catastrophes ever re- corded in the state of Guerrero is re- ported to have occurred late Thursday afternoon, when an extremely violent earthquake shock was felt at Chilpan- cingo, causing great loss of life and injuring many persons. Details from the stricken district are very meager, but scattering reports received here in- dicate that probably 300 persons were killed and as many more injured. It IS known that the state capital, the parish church and many business houses and residences are in ruins, and there is much suffering as a result of the awful seismic disturbance. One of the 'edi- fees that suffered most was the Feder- al Telegraph office, which explains the paucity of news that has reached this city so far.
 Later meager details begin to arrive here. The telegraph lines and appa- ratus at Chilpancingo were badly dam aged, but the employees, all of whom were uninjured, quickly proceeded to erect an improvised telegraph office on the outskirts of the city.
 The number of deaths was greater in the parish church than in any single place, as a crowd of worshipers were gathered there for the afternoon serv- ice. The solid masonry walled roof came toppling down on the worshipers as if it had been wrenched from it's bearings by thousand strong hands. i Several people were killed there.
 The war department has ordered the troops in the neighborhood to cooper ate in the work of rescue. Until this work is completed it will be impossible to learn accurately the number of vic tims. It is believeds however, that this 1 is one of the most destructive seismic 1 phenomena that has occurred in Mexi- co. The greater part of the people of Chilpancingo are now camping out un- der trees around the town, which is five days journey from the national capital.
 | Earthquake. shocks were felt in many l other cities and towns. In the City of 1 Mexico the earthquake took place at 5:17 p. m., and was of such violence as to shake the most substantial build ings. The pan-American congress was in session at the time, and many of the delegates were greatly alarmed. The l first movement was one of trepidation and was very sharp. It was followed by an easier oscillatory movement north-northeast to south-southwest. The duration was f1fty-five seconds. The damage in the city was only | slight.

The Report of the Commission Ex-
 pected Today.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S-Admiral Walker announces that the commission will be able to file their report with the president some time today. 1t is stated that Admiral Walker is de- sirous of presenting if possible unan- imous report to the president and hopes to harmonize the differences known to exist among the members of the com- mission.
 Senator Morgan, chairman of the senate committee on interoceanic ca nals, has made brief report to that committee as the result of his investi- gation of the status of the Panama sale proposition.
 He stated that he had called upon the president and Admiral Walker, chair man of the isthmian canal commission, and had learned that the president had impressed upon the commission the ne- cessity for an early report.
 He also stated that he had learned officially that the French government had made no proposition to the United States in connection with the Panama route and further that nothing had been heard from the government of Colombia on that subject.

THOSE EscrTcHEoN BLoTs.
South Brooklyn and Park Road Build
 ings Must Stand for Them.
Waterbtlry. Jan 18.

w aLerDufy, Jhu Acs 1SV@s To the Editor of the Democrat:
 There was, 1t seems, unfortunately, an error ia your report of the first meeting of the board of education this year. Any member of this board could inform you that in my remarks l re ferred to the South Brooklyn and Park Road school buildings. No reference was made to the Town Plot school. No reference was made to the teaching, scholarship or district committees Of either school mentioned. The objec- ton was made wholly to the buildings themselves To the South Brooklyn school because it is on no highway, and the children must cross the fail- road tracks to reach the building. To the Park Road school because there are two rooms in the building with a partition between, only reaching part way to the ceiling, thus rendering er- fieient teaching and discipline difficult, if not impossible.
 E. ". GOODENOUGH. Headers will notice that the doctor is not sure that a mistake was made. but after they have jogged their mem ory and connected the strictures of Hans Rasmussen's pointed communi- cation, published in the Democrat of Thursday, with the doctor and the questions at issue. they will readily realize that something had to be said. Whether the doctor is right or not does not make much difference at this time. but one thing Is certain, and that is that at the time the objectionable re- marks were made the Town Plot school was under discussion, not, how ever, the system of education eln- ployed there, but the environments, and the fact that the children were coming down to the Bank street school.l

Arms of venus of MILO.


 4 letter is published at Paris from the aged Admiral Reveillere to the ef- feet that Brest, former French con- sul at Milo, who was influential in the Leyant, having heard of the discovery of the famous statue of the Venus of Milo, which is now in the Louvre, inn mediately opened negotiations for it's acquisition by France, which, thanks to his exertions, were successful. Ad- miral Lespes, who touched at Milo dur- ing the Grimes an war, found Brest indig- nant that no mention of him was made at the Louvre in connection with the statue. He exclaimed, vehemently: q know where the arms of the Venus are, but no one shall ever see them. !" Admiral Reveillere adds that it is strange no steps were ever taken to test the truth of Brest's statement con- carning the arms.

Japs Can Teach Ua.

Tn the manner of repairs those won- derful followers of principle and truth in art, the Japanese, have a lesson to teach us, says the Connoisseur. When a Japanese connoisseur breaks some precious piece of pottery or porcelain, he does not throw it away with dis dain; neither does he try to deceive the casual observer into the belief that it is nnbroken. Instead, he has it joined together, generally with gold lacquer, in such fashion that the fracture is boldly shown and commented on, as it were, by the frank exposition of the method by which it is made good. Cautiously enough, a distinctly new and charmingly decorative effect is in most eases added by these irregular gold lines, while the sense of craftsmanship Is tickled by the marvellous skill exhib- ited by the repairer in thus welding to- gether the two dissimilar materials. Truth is preserved at no loss of ar tistic beauty; indeed, once more it is made clear that the two may always walk hand in hand.
