SEISMIC DISASTERS.
They Have Been More Frequent
Than Is Usually Supposed.
Historic EARTHQUAKES That Have
Buried Cities and DESTROYED r
Thousands Of Lives and
Property Of Vast Value.

Among the manifold disasters which
are constantly overtaking the human
family there is none SO full OF awe
and terror as the earthquake. From
the beginning of history-and long be-
fore 1.-THE habitations of men have
been leveled or buried underground
by earthquake shocks and volcanic
eruptions, and the numbers of human
beings killed in this way passes COM
prehension. In Is years-that is, from
1888 to 1s57-the kingdom of Naples
lost 111,OoO inhabitants by earth,
quakes. This is at the rate of more
than $500 per year out Of popula-
ton of 100000.
The most disastrous earthquake OF
recent history was the great Lisbon
shock on November l., 1855. In less
than eight minutes almost all the
houses Of Lisbon were overturned, So
900 of the inha bitants were killed and
whole streets were buried. The cities
of Coimbra, Oporto, Braga and St.
Ubcs were destroyed. Malaga, in
Spain, was largely reduced to ruins
One-half Of Fee, in Morocco, was de-
stroyed and $4,000 Arabs killed.
Following is q list of the principal
earthquakes of history:
345 +. C.-Twelve cities in the Cam
pana buried and Duras in Greece de-
stroyed with immense loss of life.
2s3 B. C.-Lysiu.achia and its inhab'
itanls buried.

name Of "Assepartout," is a gigantic
vehicle built in Paris after designs fur
nished by Mr.. Cudell. 1t has box
shaped front part, containing %
horsepower benzine motor. The m o.
tor has four cylinders of the Daimler
pattern. which are arranged to act al
ternately. The reservoirs, large
enough to hold 1870 gallons of benzine,
are slowed away on both sides of the
vehicle, underneath the seats. Mr..
Cudell expects that the amount of fuel
will be sufficient to enable them to
travel 62O miles without refilling the
reservoirs. The large wheels are sup
piled with pneumatic tires, and every
detail of the running gear is of the
best material and made with special
care, so as to insure the comfort and
safety of the travellers.
The coupe or cabin of the automo.
bile, which contains the living and
sleeping room of the travellers, is ar
ranged with remarkable ingenuity.
The comfortably upholstered Seats
running lengthways along the side Of
the coupe, are so constructed that they
can easily be transformed into sleeping
berths at night.
The route which the travellers have
chosen leads them from London to
Havre, and from there via Paris,
Berlin, Warsaw, Moscow, Kasan,
Djeljobinsk, Omsk. Tomsk, Krasno-
jarsk, 1rkutsk, Kiachta, Urga, and Pc
king to Tientsin. There they will en-
bark and continue their trip on
board Of ship, via Kuechow, Shanghai,
and Hong-Kong to Yokahoma, Hawaii,
and San Francisco. The route through
the American continent has not yet
been definitely settled.

SPANS YOUNG KING.
His Life Will Not Be One Of Unal-
Logged Pleasure.
He Enters Upon His Reign Under Dis
c0uraginE Social and Political
CoMditions-Last OF DOur.
bon Rulers.

King Alfonso XIII. has been
crowned king of Spain. He took the
oath under melancholy conditions.
He is the third monarch of the re-
stored house of Bourbon, which gave
way in 1908 to Joseph Bonaparte, and
in 1870 to the house of Savoy, which
was set aside by the republic three
years later, the Bourbons returning
to power with the father of the
young king in 1875.
Maria Christina, who has been the
head of the state during the infancy
of the heir, has been without re
proach in public and private life, and
has probably administered the at
fairs of the decrepit monarchy Us
well as it's conditions have made pos
sible.
Young King Alfonso, says the Chi
cago CHI oniclc, becomes the consti.
tutional sovereign OF. 100000 peo'
pie sparsely distributed at the rate
of 90 to the square mile. The consti.
tuition proclaimed in 1876 places ir
the legislature jointly with the kins
the power of making the laws. This
reactionary feature of the funda-
mental law of Spain manifcsts the
Bourbon curse.
The people made the constitution,
but confessed that they dare not
trust themselves with the making of
their laws. The legislature is com

VETERANS LIKE HIM.
Are Pleased with President for Hon

Famous In History ~ Commander Of
the 'sIron Observation-Disclosures In
Battle and Always Active
In Politics.

Seventy-five years have silvered the
hair and beard Of Gen. Edward S.
Bragg, of Wisconsin, who has just been
appointed by President Roosevelt as
consul general at Havana. Almost
diminutive in stature, the veteran is
still in the possession of great mental
vigor. His eye is yet clear and pierre
ing, his conversation entertaining, his
wit keen, his sarcasm as incisive as in
the days when he was leading figure
in the political contentious that early
gave him national as well as local
fame. He was ever a conToversialist,
and nothing delighted him more than
to be in the heat of every political
fight, state and national. He made a
host of enemies during his long career,
but his friends quote his own words,
uttered in the convention that nom.
mated Mr.. Cleveland the second time
for the presidency: "We love him for
the enemies he has made"
It was as the commander of the ia
nous Iron brigade in the army OF the
Potomac during the civil war that Gen.
Bragg won his chief title to everlast-
ing fame. The brigade consisted OF
the Second, Fifth and Sixth Wiscon-
sin regiments, and the Nineteenth In
diana, and with few changes this or
ganization was maintained until the
close of the war. The late Gen. John
Gibbon was the original commander,
but on his promotion to the command
of corps Gen. Bragg was placed in
control. From the date of his assum-
ing his duties to the close of the war
he was constantly at the head of his
men, cheering them on to gallant
deeds.
Gen. Bragg is just such fighter In
politics as he was in war, and he is al

church. He is So years old and was
professor of canon law in Seton Hall,
college and seminary when, in March,
1892, he was made bishop of Green Bay,
Wis, to succeed Most Rev. Frederick
Xavier Katzer, who was promoted to
the archbishopric of Milwaukee. He
has since been recognized as one of the
most progressive and conservative Of
the German Catholic bishops repre-
senting the German element in the
church. His most recent prominence
was in association with Bishop McFaul,
of Trenton, N. j., in successfully organ
izing the Federation of Catholic soci-
cites. This, it was said at the time, was
accomplished in spite of the opposi-
ton of Cardinal Gibbons and Arch
bishop Ireland.
This German element in the Cath Ole
church has been specially antagonistic
to Archbishop Ireland's ideas and
school of thought. Archbishop Ire
lands candidate for the Manila sec
was said to be Bishop Thomas O'Gor-
man, of Sioux Falls, S. D.

whose articles in the Chicago Times
when Wilbur F. Story was alive were
largely instrumental in the success of
that publication John Wilkie followed
in the profession of his father. He
was city editor of the Chicago Trib.

him chief of the secret service. Since,

ways in his element when contending
against heavy odds. Although his hair
has been turned gray by the frosts
of many winters, in spirit he is as in
domitable as ever, as ready to lead a
forlorn hope as he was to lead charge
in the day when he was "a years young
er than now.
In the national campaign of 1896
he refused to support the candidacy
of William j. Bryan, and enrolled him
self in the ranks of the national democ-
racy with Gen. John NJ. Palmer as it's
candidate. In 1900 he still refused to
support Mr.. Bryan, and although he
took no part in the campaign, was
known to favor the reelection of Mr..
Mckinley, that being, as he expressed
it, 1.-The least Of two evils"
Gen. Bragg served for four terms
in congress after the close of the war.
While in the house he was an uncom-
promising democrat, opposing with all
his vigor and eloquence the republican
party. He was appointed minister to
Mexico by President Cleveland in 1887
For many years he was without SUI
perior as political debater, and the
galleries of the house of representa-
tives were always well filled when it
was known he was to speak. In the
national democratic convention of
1888, held in Chicago, he made the IA
nous speech seconding the nomination
ofGrover Cleveland for the presidency,
In which he used the famous phrase,
in reply to the assault Of Tammany
delegate upon Mr.. Cleveland: 1--WE
love him for the enemies he has made" "
This phrase became rallying cry of
the campaign and did much toward
cementing the democratic party in Mr..
Cleveland's support, although it wild
ened the breach between him and the
Tammany faction and doubtless con-
tributed somewhat to the election OF
Mr.. Harrison.
Gen. Bragg has pleasant home at
Fond du Lac, Wis, where he has re-
sided ever since settling in the state.
"A daughter is married to lieutenant
in the United States navy, another to
