A GENERAL UPHEAVAl.
Three Cities Are Destroyed by Earthquake in
Guatemala.


The terrible disaster at Martinique
so dwarfs every other seismic dis
turbance OF past and present, that the
upheaval on the 18th inst. which
made $4,000 people homeless, scarcely
excites a comment.
A New Orleans dispatch Of the 18th
inst, however, contains the narrowing
details received by the steamer Break
water which arrived from the South
American coast that date, of an earth
quake in Guatemala, by which whole
cities were destroyed and many lives
lost. That the loss of live was not
greater is owing to the fact that the
buildings we're mostly one-story. The
shock followed the line of the Sierra
Madra mountains.
The city OF Guezaltenango, sixty
thousand inhabitants, st. Marcos, San
Pedro and Zejutla were destroyed and
about eighty thousand people, alto
gether, rendered homeless, and are
suffering for food and shelter. Soldiers
have been sent to preserve order and
protect property.
President Cabreras headed q fund
with SIC. 600; the American colony in
Guatemala City contributed 1928, 1000
and the relief fund has already reached
$l31 900.
A special tax on whiskey and TO-
bacco and land under cultivation has
been levied, and the authorities are
empowered to pledge taxes for funds
for immediate use.

Garrett p servis- in $ F. Examiner.
Accounts from Fort de France all
agree that a "mass OF fire and deadly
gases fell upon the city of st. Pierre
and completely destroyed it,"
But how could the heavens thus
have opened and let down a tempest
of fire, capable of doing its work so
quickly that no one could flee single
yard before death was upon him?
Plainly, it could only have been done
by the blowing to pieces of the mount
ain itself!
The summit of Mount Pelee must
have been blown off with a suddenness
and completeness of destruction
rivaling, if small, things may be meas.
ured by great ones, the subway ex-
plosion that knocked a hole in the
street and demolished nearby walls in
Park avenue few months ago.
How did the power get there? What
was it?
Steam! Enough steam to stimuli
taneously fill the boilers of all the
locomotives and all the stationary en-
gines and steamships on the face Of
the earth.
1t got there through the leakage of
ocean water, among the crevices of the
rocks on the bottom of the Caribbean
Sea, down to the lake of fire and lava
underlying the volcano of Mount
Pelee.
Newspaper readers will recall the
significant fact that several days be-
fore the fearful news of the catastro-
phe at st. Pierre there we're reports OF
slight earthquakes felt in the islands
OF the Lesser Antilles. Then came
the statement that cable communica-
ton with Martinique was broken.
The breaking OF ocean cables is COM
mon effect of earthquakes and move
ments of the rocks underlying the
bottom OF the sea at the parts where
the cables cross it.
1t is evident that the rocks were
disturbed, and probably cracked and
fissured shortly before the explosion
OF the volcano. In this manner the
water obtained entrance to the bottom
of the volcano vent deep beneath the
foundation OF the island of Martinique.
There it was turned into steam.
The steam rapidly accumulated, and
the pressure upon the rocks above be-
came tremendous. The weakest point
was the throat of the volcano.
Through that passage the steam,
sweeping sand and rock along with it,
burst upward. the intensely heated
mass, relieved from the pressure to
which it had been subjected while ly-
ing deep under the mountain, became
liquid lava and bubbled and TUNED
over the rim OF the crater.
But still the steam continued to
accumulate beneath, the matter
forced up from the bowels of the earth
filed and choked the crater, until at
last the pressure below became irre-
sistible and the top of the mountain
was burst asunder, flinging its fiery
masses miles aloit and abroad in
every direction.
In this way the description of eye
witnesses Of the dropping of fire upon
the city OF St. Pierre in such vast
quantities as instantly to overwheim
it can be accounted for.

THERE are few things on which
the Republicans cannot get together
Tariff concessions to Cuba; financial
legislation; Philippine policy; mill
tary and naval controversies, and even
"prosperity"-because cost of living
has grown faster than increases in
wages. In a word, they are divided on
all the great questions now stirring
the minds OF the people. In exercis
ing a wise choice of policy and taking
advantage OF Republican disintegra'
ton the Democracy embraces a great
opportunity.

He writes: After a silence Of thirty
years Mount Iona, the only volcano

out smoke and steam, and some Of
the people in the surrounding country
say low rumblings can be heard. These
reports are brought from Cedar
county, Neb., where the little mount
ain is situated, by travellers, who say
the settlers in the neighborhood are
panic-stricken and are preparing to
leave the country. The mountain is
situated on the Missouri river, $50
miles above Omaha, and while not of
great height, is high compared to the
surrounding country. 1t has been for
years a sacred place with the Indians,

A Long Bridge.

A bridge 25 miles long. more or less,
even if is only trestle across a COM
paratively shallow lake, deserves more
than a passing notice. Such a bridge
is that on which the Southern Pacific
is to cross the Great Salt Lake, there
by saving over 40 miles in its line be-
tween Lucin and Ogden. This reloca.
ton is said by the Scientific American
to be the most radical change of align
meut ever known in the history Of rail-
road engineering 1t is thus described
by that paper: THE present distance
of the line from Ogden to Lucin is
1855 miles. Much of this distance is
made by the line running about 90
miles north before turning around the
north end Of the lake. Over this
route are many sharp curves and hes:
Wy grades,
The new cutoff will run west from
Ogden to the shores of the lake, cross
ing to Promontory Point on seven
miles of trestle. Then across the Pc
ninsula for FIVE miles and then across
the main body of the lake to Strongs
Knob on the west shore, The total
length of this cutoff will be l04 miles,
a saving over Al 3 miles.
From the east shore over to the
Promontory the lake is quite shallow,
being not over eight feet deep. 1t is
expected that this stretch will be filled
in with earth and rock ballast after the
temporary bridge has been built but
the deeper portion across the main arm
ofthe lake will be bndged. The deepest
water, about 80 feet, is encountered on
this stretch, which will be tangent.
Curves will be few and very light
over the entire distance from Ogden to
Lucin.

Mr.. Bryan to Mr.. Roosevelt.

In the Commoner Hon. W. ]. Bryan
addresses a letter to President Roose-
velt, urging him to cause criminal
proceedings to be started against the
alleged beef trust.
incidentally Mr.. Bryan declares
the President to be courageous man.
He begins by quoting the provisions
of the Sherman Antitrust law and
continues:
You are the only Chief Executive
of this nation and as such are not
only empowered, but are required to
enforce the law. By commencing
civil action against the members Of
the beef trust you declare that the
members of the trust are, in your
opinion, guilty of violation of the
law. Why do you hesitate to COM
mence criminal action? The pen
atty fixed in the statute is insignif-
cant compared with the penalty pre-
scribed for a violation of less i'm
portant statutes If the members OF
the beef trust have raised the price
of meat l cent per pound they have
laid tax of millions of dollars upon
the people of the United States
ut is publicly stated that some OF
the capitalists have condemned you
for attempting to enforce the Anti
Trust law even by civil process. 1t
is even limited that they threaten to
oppose your denomination, if you show
the strenuousness in this direction that
you have shown toward the Philip
pines, but can you be scared by such
threats ? You have shown physical
courage and bravery upon the battle
6eld-you were not afraid Of bullets
when any one Of them might have
taken your life. Will you now fear
to face concentrated wealth? Civil
suits may annoy the captains Of in
dustry, but ifYou are goingto shackle
cunning you will have to shackle it
with criminal laws. A prison cell
will prove more effective in the pre-
vention of monopoly than judgments
or DEGREES for the payment of money.
You have chance to show that you
were in earnest when you made that
Minneapolis speech"
