St Petersburg, December 24-While full details of the recent earthquake dis aster at Andijan are not obtainable ow- Ing to the lack of communication, the brief dispatches received here describe the situation as horrible. The tempera- ture has fallen to the freezing point and thousands are homeless. One section of the city has been completely destroyed, one cotton gin and one church only stand ing there. The first shock drove the in- habitants generally from indoors.
 Notwithstanding the offers of free trans portation. the people are remaining in the vicinity of the city, which will be rebuilt. A substantial start has been made in the collection of a relief fund.
 Andijan is a cotton center and exports 4O,OOO,OOO pounds of cotton annually The population, numbering 56,000, was grow ing rapidly, The people were engaged in cotton raising and ginning. Of twenty gins, nineteen have been destroyed The residents were mostly Sarts. They are private owners of lands, but live in cities and towns. The houses in Andiian are principally one story high, and are built of unburnt brick.
 The war department here informs the correspondent of the Associated Press that everything possible is being done to relieve the suffering. Barracks in which the population can live are being built

REMAINS a SOCIALIST.
Lieutenant Governor Coates Says He
viii Adhere to the New Party.

Denver, July S.-Lieut. Gov. David c.
Coates SAID last night that he was still
a member of the Socialist party, and
had in fact never left 1t. He said: II
have not yet decided what action +
shall take in regard to my membership
In the Socialist party. The local chap
ter of the Socialist party will meet on
Thursday and then Will decide
whether or no I will remain with the
party. l do mot yet know whether l
will take an active interest In the af-
fairs of the. Socialist party. but 1t is
probable that Will remain with the
party, though 1t may develop that l
will not take the active part that had
anticipated.
"a large number Of the members of
the Socialist party have been to see me
to-day, asking that l pass over the
Colorado Springs incident and remain
with the party. You know that the
convention itself repudiated Its own ac-
tion Just after / left the hall. Under
the ruling of that convention can still
remain In the party and retain the Of
nee Of lieutenant governor, for en-
tered the party after their ruling had
been made. Yes, am still socialist"
A committee composed Of representa-
tive members fro the various sOcialis-

main a member of their party. At

Adept Resolutions Faverins raxatien
Of All Church Property.

Davenport, Iowa, July S-The hrst
subject presented at yesterdays SER
sion of the national convention Of the
North American Turnerbund was re-
newal Of the movement for the exemp-
ton of property of Turner societies
from taxation. A resolution covering
the plan of procedure was presented
by Leopold Neumann Of Chicago. and
1t was supported by strong speeches
by Neumann and other delegates.
The contention Of the speakers was
that the Turner properties. valued at
34,500.O00, and devoted to physical and
mental training. should not be taxed
more than schools. charities and Chris
tian association properties.
Discussion of the question resulted in
n victory for the radical branch Of --.e
society, which carried the proposition
declaring for taxation Of all church
property.
Chicago. st. Louis and most of the
western delegates favored the PROPOSE
ton in this form and eastern delegates
opposed 1t.
The question of admitting women to
full membership in the Turner society,
which came up for recommendation
from the mental training committee,
was stricken out by the convention by
q two-thirds vote.
The upper Mississippi district, hav-
ing sent double delegation to the con-
vention, claimed half vote each, the
delegation was admitted, but new
bylaw was adopted prohibiting double
delegations in the future.
1t was decided not to hold the next
national Turner fest until 1905. thus
defeating the hopes of st. Louis and
Chicago delegates for 1904. The fest
was offered to indianapolis, which has
one day to accept. Pittsburg occurred
the next business convention, to be
held in 1904. indianapolis was con
tinued MS the business headquarters
the Indiana district to elect head OH
GERS.
The bund adopted resolution favor
ing free text books in schools.
