Earthquake in Guatemala.

San Francisco. May 26.-By adviccs
brought by the steamer City of Para
it is learned that in ninety seconds
1000 people We're killed, over 1000
manned and crippled and the city of
Quesaltenango, of 10000 people, de-
str0yed by the earthquake of April 18th
in Guatemala.
A man who was in Guatemala at the
time of the disturbance, whose coffee
plantation is only n few miles out from
QuesaltenanSo, was passenger on the
City of Para. In speaking of the earth
quake he said: "There were three dis
tinct shocks, each more severe than the
one preceding, but the damage was all
done within n minute and n half.
Among the wealthier class the loss of
life was comparatively slight, prob
ably less than 100. though many We're
bruised and injured. The surrounding
towns of San Pedro, San Marco, San
Juan. Ananiatlan and Solola We're also
destroyed. and the total dead in these
places will number nearly 1000.

Fierce Forest Fires.

Denver, May 26.-A Republican spe-
cial from Salida last night says:
The worst forest fires in the history
of the mountains of the continental di-
vide, the Collegiate range and the San
gre de Cristo. More than n dozen fires
can be seen from this city, and to-day
the worst of them all became apparent
in the foothills of Ouray mountain,
southwest of here. The cloud of smoke
rose until it was blended with the
clouds of the zenith, and railroad men
this evening report that in coming
down the road from Marshall and Pom
cha passes the flames rose until they
could be seen high above the interven.
ing hills.
The Oldest of these fires has been
burning for month, and great tracts
of territory are denuded of timber
The water supply and GRAZING grounds
will be materially injured and the loss
of timber will aggregate vast sum
The origin of the fire is unknown.

eATHEo IN THE CRATER.
story Of a Denver Man Who Lived on
ST. Vincent.

James A. Small, inspector in the
Denver postofiice district. was for ten
years n sugar planter in st. Vincent,
and during that time travelled all over
the slopes of Mount Soufriere, which
has lately caused the devastation Of
that island.
1T was in 1853 that went to st.
Vincent" said Mr.. Small, ''and l was
then only seventeen years old. / went
right into the business of making su-
gar. being known as the youngest
planter in the business worked there
for ten years, doing well. The island
was covered with fine plantations. IL

the time did not sleep in n bed 1t

the cane, overseeing things about the
place and being general boss of every
thing.
THE summit of Soufrlere was pret-
tly wooded when | was there, with

active volvanO in 1872 and had seat
tered its ashes ninety miles away, but
! never saw any evidences of any
threatened activity. At its top were
two immense craters, the large one
three miles across and the smaller
about mile and Il half.
Dozens of times, yes. hundreds. l

was harder to get at.

SALT LAKE is VANISHING.
Scientists Declare Nothing wifi Be
Left of II In Fifty Years.

Within fifty years from the present
time the Great Salt Lake of Utah-the
most remarkable body of water of its
kind in the world-will have ceased to
exist. 1t will have dried up and its
place will be occupied by an Inattract-
i've desert, save perhaps for a few irrl-
gated farms.
Such, at all events. is the opinion of
geologists. Prof w. J.. McGee of
Washington remarked in cony ersation
the other day that half century was
an outside estimate for the survival of
the lake. He was inclined to think
that ii would be dried up twenty five
years from now. Already its waters
show signs of receding from the shores,
and causes are in operation which less
ell to Il great extent the supplies fur
nished to this curious inland sea by
streams.
The lake is about seventy-five miles
long by half that in greatest breadth.
being in shape somewhat irregular. and
is rather shallow. There may be places
where it has n depth of as much as 100
feet. but over most of its area it is less
than fifty feet deep. The reason why 1t
Is so salty is simply that 1t has no out
let save through evaporation, and the
streams during ages past have been
carrying salt into it.
The contributing streams are now be-
ginning to be utilized on large scale
for irrigatinS purposes, and thus the
customary water supply is being with
held to some extent from the lake.
Before long immense reservoirs will be
constructed in the mountains to hold
the storm waters during the rainy sea-
son, in order THAT they may be CON
served and poured out ~yer the fields
in the dry time. Operations of this
kind. conducted so extensively, must
lower the level of the lake quite fast.

DEATH OF LORD pAuncErors.
Distinguished British Ambassador
Dies Of Asthma and Rheumatism.

Washington, May 25.-Lord Paunce-
fote, British ambassador to the United
States, died ut the embassy yesterday

AT his bedside when the distin-
guished diplomat passed away We're
Mrs. PauncefOte, the Honorable Maude

Frenchmen who have come to witness

All through the past winter Lord
Pauncefote had been n sufferer from
Intermittent attacks of asthma and
rheumatic gout, but he bravely kept
on his feet as much as possible. went to
the State Department regularly ON dip
lomatic days and generally stroye to
keep up his active duties. though it was
evident that the effort it caused him
was great. In the early part of March,
the ambassador went to North Carolina
on visit to George Vanderbilt at Bilt-
more and stayed there for about fort
night in the hope of recuperating from
his aflliction in the Carolina pines. He
returned to Washington about the mid.
die of the month with his sufferings
but little abated. In April there came
another severe attack and from that
time until his death the ambassador
had been confined almost continuously
to his bed, and his strength had been
slowly but surely leaving him.
The office of dean of the diplomatic
corps at Washington now devolves
upon DIR. Won Hollcben. the German

The court of appeals will meet Mon
day morning, June 9th, for the pur-
pose of handing down opinions. 1t is
quite probable that that week will be
the last before the summer vacation
that oral arguments will be heard. The
summer vacation will begin in the lat
ter part of June. During the past year
between 235 and 2iO cases have been
appealed to that tribunal. In the same
time between 175 and $50 opinions
have been rendered. In the neighbor-
hood of forty or forty-iive cases have
been disposed of. either by stipulation
or dismissal by judges, leaving about
two dozen more cases on the docket
to-day than there We're a year ago.
The Supreme Court will meet June
md, for the purpose of rendering de
cisions. Arguments before that court
will probably be continued from day
to day until along in June. The last
case on the docket set for argument is
the O'Reilly constitutional amendment
suit. on May 27th.
A classification system of assessing
railroads in Colorado was adopted at Il
recent session of the State Board of
Equalization. Under the plan as pro-
posed, but not finally adopted the
roads of the state are assessed higher
than they were in 1900. The increase
ranges from 100 to $50 per cent. But
as compared with 1901 the assessment
Is much less. The figures for 1901
were disregarded when it came to es-
tnblshing n basis upon which to figure
the assessments. as it was thought the
1900 assessments were in keeping with
general taxation all over the state
The Santa I'e. Burlington and Colorado
and Union Pacific are. according to the
classification. the three iirst-class roads.
They are assessed at an increase of 100
per cent. over 1900 The Denver x
Rio Grande is found in the second
class and third class. along with the
Rock Island, Colorado Midland, Rio
Grande Western and others.

Forty-Five Per Cent. Fail.

New York, May 25.-The Presbyter
ian General Assembly adopted the re
port of the standing committee on
church erection. The report opens by
saying that forty-five per cent. of all
churches established, sooner or late,
cease to exist, but that this is no rea
son for ceasing to aid in building new
ones. The report commends the WORK
of the board of church erection during
the year.
The board commenced the year with
$193,275 and spent S20o, ,269. The board
begins the coming year with an empty
treasury and only contributions re.
ceived after the annual report had been
completed enabled it to report no debt.
