VALPARAISO, Chile, Aug. 20.-At
1852 o'clock last Thursday evening Val
paraiso experienced an earthquake of
great severity and during that night
eighty-two shocks were felt.
Most of the buildings of the city
either were ruined or damaged. The
loss will be enormous, probably reach
ing $250,000,000.
Two thousand persons killed is con-
sidered to be a fair estimate of the cas-
ualtes.
Vina del Mar three miles from Val
paraiso and having a population over
10000; Quirihue, 225 miles to the south
ward. with population of $500; Salto;
Limache, fifteen miles to the northwest,
with population of $500; Quillota,
twenty-five miles to the northwest,
with population of 10000, and vii
lagos all around were destroyed.
Most of the damage was due to fire,
which started Immediately after the
first shock.
The whole population is sleeping in
the hills, the parks or the streets.
Food is very scarce. Milk costs two
Chilean dollars a liter, and it is almost
impossible to obtain meat, even at
high prices.
The railroads are all destroyed.
Rain, which began to fall immediate
" after the first shock, stopped an hour
afterward.
The nights are very cold and windy,
and the people sleeping in the open

STATE FEDERATION OF
LABOR CONVENTION,
Plenty of Politics and Protest
Against Bishops BiII-NO Change
of Offices Expected.

1t is expected that the twenty
eighth annual convention of the
State Federation of Labor, which
opened in the Assembly chamber of
the state capitol at Trenton this
morning, will be the most important
one in the history of the organiza-
tion.
Politics will be one of the most
important features of the convention,
as it is stated in the official call for
the convention, issued at the direc-
tion of the executive board, THAT
we will stand by our friends and adj
minister singing rebuke to men
or parties who are either Indifferent
negligent or hostile, and whenever
opportunity affords, secure the cleo
tion of intelligent. honest, earnest
trade unionists, with clear unblem-
ished, paid up union cards in their
possession.
1t is foregone conclusion that
the convention will go on record
against the new excise law, because
of the fact that a number of labor
organizations are seriously affected
by it.
THERE'S not likely to be any change
in the officers of the federation, the
present impression being that they
will all be reelected. The officers
are Cornelius Ford, president; Ed
ward w. Vannaman, first vice pres
ident; Henry J. Gottlob, second vice
president, and Thomas j. Mead, sec
retary.
The Office of treasurer which was
filled by the late Louis Kuhn, will
be contested for by George A. Zm-
norman, of Union county, and Jo-
seph p O'Lone, from Hudson county.

Earthquake.

Chilean Capital suffers Heavily From
Earthquake.
SANTIAGO DE CHILE, Aug. 20.-It
is known that at least thirty lives were
lost in this city by the earthquake,
but 1t is believed that others were kill
ed by the falling buildings and that
their bodies will be discovered later.
Several persons became so panic
stricken during the tremblings of the
earth that they threw themselves from
the balconies of their homes and were
killed. The fires which followed the
earthquake in this city were promptly
extinguished, but while they lasted
they greatly augmented the terror of
the people.
AS all telegraph and telephone lines
were more or less damaged the exact
situation throughout the country Is not
vet known, but advices have been re-
ceived to the effect that the towns of
Virlage and Casablanca were entirely
destroyed and that San Felipe, Ran
cagua, Milipilla and Llaillai were Sc
verely damaged At Conception the
shock was severe, and number OF
persons were killed or injured The
towns of Rengo, San Fernando, Quill
lotta and San Antonio and many vii
lagos are in ruins. All railway service
in the central zone is either interrupted
entirely or greatly delayed, and COM
merce is practically at standsaill.
In the city of Santiago much dam
age was done Many public buildings,
particularly churches, were disman-
tied. The buildings of congress, the
municipal buildings, the normal school,
the courts. the Peruvian legation, the
residence of President Riesco, the CEN
trail market. the prefecture of police
and the National Telegraph office all
were seriously damaged. The lines of
the electric tramway system and the
electric light wires were short circuit
ed, interrupting street car travel and
plunging the city into darkness.
The scenes at the hospitals and pris-
ons during the excitement were dis
tressing in the extreme. The prison
ers tried to escape from the jails in
the hope that they might reach a place
of safety, and prison guards were
obliged to fire into the air in order to
intimidate and quiet their panic strick-
EN- charges.
There have been several return
shocks Of slight intensity. These
shocks have served to continue the
state of public alarm and state, of
panic still prevails. The ASTRONOMICAL
