THE EARTH IS TREMBLING.
The Soufriere Volcano Is Emitting Sounds Like Thunder and
 Creating Panic.

Kingstown, St. Vincent, Friday July 1s.-Seyeral shocks of earth quake were experienced here to day. There was terrific one at 9:45 in the morning. It was accompanid by loud rum- bling, explosive sound like thunder. Furniture was set in motion every where, bottle and crockerY were thrown from shelves in shops, and several buildings were damaged. There was no loss of life, but great panic prevailed. The most severe shock lasted only ten seconds. These shocks were probably caused by sub terranean gas or steam explosions. A few days ago it was reported that the saddle between the two orators of the Souffriere volcano had col lapsed, resulting in the fall of thou sands of cubic feet of sand and scoria rock into the funnel, thus blocking the throat of the crater, and it is now claimed that the gas and steam, failing to find an outlet by the throat. or funnel, caused in ternal explosions and intense concus- sionS.

THE HOLY CITY AT ST. LOUIS.
Proposals For the Reproduction of JerusaIcni At tae Worlds Fnir
 Under Con. n.ideration.

St. Louis. July 22.-A proposition which is being considered at present by the management of the Worlds fair, and which is said to have re- ceived general approval, has been outlined by Mir. Alex. konta, of this city: Have you been to Jerusa- lem 9" will be the phrase by which the unique feature of the exposition will be known. It is also affirmed that the spectacle will certainly be an attraction of St. Louis during the Worlds fair period, whether deal be closed with the exposition officials or not. The intention of the projec- tors of the plan is to reproduce the city of Jerusalem, with an attention to truth of detail. which, it is claimed, has never been attempted before in the making of any oriental entertain ment in this country.
 NIr. Konta has been a frequent vis- itor to Jerusalem, where he knows the officials, and has an intimate knowl- edge of the people, as well as the phrases of life there which are most interesting 10 NlSllOGS. I-IulPl'Cu with this influence and knowledge, he says that he will be able to get the rarest curios and relics in the domain of the Turk, though soldiers of the sultan will be on hand to watch over them with jealous care.
 Mr. Konta explains that he has re- gently returned to the city, after an absense of three years abroad, and that while in Europe he engaged the services of some of the foremost art ists and architects. authorities on oriental styles, plans and decorations, to help him carry out his ideas.
 TLe Jerusalem display will require a large space to do justice to the plans as outlined. The physical fea- lures of the city and its environs will be duplicated, ancient and modern structures and landscape features will be faithfully represented, among them Solomon's temple, the church of the Holy Sepulchre, David's Tow CT, Fountain of the Virgin, Golgotha, Garden of Gethsemanc, the Jews Mailing Place, Mount of Olives, Pool of Bethesda, Pool of Siloam, the Via

OATS GO WAY UP.
sixty-Five Gents, the Highest Price in Chicago Since 1ST4-AI-
 most Panic.

Chicago, July 20,-In a very eXcit- ed session of the board of trade Saturday oats sold at 65c, the highest price here since 1874 for that cereal. The cause of this rocket flight, which was a gain of 15 cents in three days, and of "A cents Saturday, was the fear of "shorts" in July options that they might not be able to secure oats with which to fulfill their contracts. Back of this cause lay that of oat fields, yellow for the harvest, but devastated by the heavy rains of the last few days.
 Friday trade in oats on the local exchange was very much excited Saturday it almost reached panic. From the first tap of the starting gond, terror filled the hearts of the bears in the oats pit. Reports dur ing the latter end of June and dur ing July indicated excellent harvests of oats.
 Shorts, who had been pinched little early in July options, deter mined to hang out for reaction when good weather arrived. Stocks of old oats became rapidly depleted under a constant good cash demand. Mayor James Patten of Evanston had cor nered May oats, and had done so so successfully that there was no Corpse" of big cash supply to bury When the heavy rains continued re- ceipts of new standard oats, which must be delivered on new July con- tracts, were almost nil. Saturday only S1 cars of all kinds of oats ar rived, and only 2s cars were of con- tract grade. Shorts" bid for what little stuff there was offered. The bulls believed prices would go still higher. and chief of these bulls was Mayor Patten, who is supposed to have a tight hold on nearly 2,oo0,00o bushels of new July.

THE TUG RAlSA DID THE MISCHIEF.
Fifteen Persons Drowned By n sud den Thrush of Water Into the Easements of Houses at kieG, Russia, As n Result of TorrentiaI Rains.

Hamburg, July 22.-The steamer Primus, of Hamburg, with 185 pas sengers on board, was cut in two and sunk by the tug Hansa on the River Elbe at 12:30 o'clock Monday morn ing. So far as is ascertainable, about 50 persons were drowned. Thirteen bodies already have been recovered.
 The Primus was an excursion steam CT from BuXtehude, province of Han over, Prussia.
 The disaster occurred between Blankenez and Niensedten. Among the passengers were the memebrs of the Eilbeck Male Choral society.
 At the time of the accident the Primus was crossing the river chan ne1 near Blankenez, from the south ern into the northern fairway.
 According to witnesses aboard the Hansa, the movement was made too precipitately
 The Primus struck the tugs en- gineroom and the Hansa endeavored to push her ashore, but the tug grounded and the ships parted. The Primus then sank. In the interval, however, about 50 of her passengers were able to reach the Hansa by means of ropes and ladders. Seventy more were picked up by the tugs boats, while others swan ashore.
 The disaster caused deep gloom here. Many children lost both their parents. The Choral society, which was on board the excursion steamer. consisted mainly of workmen. There were no foreigner passengers.
