IF choking smoke and vapor settle
into the streets and houses. Throngs
Of homeless ones are wandering about,
crazed by the awful calamity.
II is impossible TO ascertain how
wide an area of country the visitation
has laid waste. Nothing has been
heard from Santiago, the capital city
of Chile, and it is feared the fate of
that city is as bad. or worse. than that
Of Valparaiso.
Ielegraphic communication is cut
off in every direction and every one
here is too much depressed by the
calamity at home TO seek information
Of other places.
No trains have arrived in the city
or left it since the first shock came,
as all Of the tunnels in the city are
filled, and miles of track on the sur
face are twisted and rendered use
less. 1t Is only known from general
accounts that death and destruction
are on all sides.
There were two distinct and terrific
shocks, the second one following al
most instantly after the first and COM
pleting the work of destruction.
The day had been unusually calm
and pleasant. At 8 o'clock the whole
city seemed suddenly to swing back
ward and forward and then cane a
sudden jolt of such mighty force that
rows of buildings toppled TO the earth
as if made OF brittle plaster. and all in
a few seconds.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL,


DENVER, Aug. Hilary Davis, .
Denver rattiesnake dealer. is a sadder
and wiser and poorer man today. He
offered to pay S. F. Acree. manager of
the Currier ranch. twenty-five miles
southeast of Greeley. 81 foot for all
the live rattlesnakes he would deliver
to him.
Acree knew where hundreds OF ,nese
venomous reptiles made their home on
his ranch. and he started to bag them.
With the assistance of friend he cap
tured asa of the snakes In a few hours.
The snakes had a combined length of
1900 feet, making the job worth $500.
Acree could have captured twice as
many more, but decided to wait and
see what the Denver man said Ahe
latter admitted that If Acree held him
to his bargain 1t would bankrupt ~him,
so they compromised at 81 per snake.

Awful Force of Quake.

The city stands upon a formation
of granite, which seemed to accentu-
ate the force of the shock Before
the stunned people were given time
to realize the magnitude of the ca
lamity, again the city was shaken with
a violence greater than before The
earth in places lifted and pitched the
buildings forward. In other places
there was terrible tremor that shook
every structure to the ground This
shock continued longer than the first
When it had subsided fires were
blazing up and thousands of terrified
persons were on their knees praying.
Panic swept the city.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
GLASGOW. October 15.-Mr. ]. kier Har-
die. during recent visit to Glasgow. was
interviewed upon Russia. Among other
things he said that the car wanted
dumb duma in the hope that 1t would De
more amenable to his will than the last
one Referring to the continuous assassina-
tons and mountaineering, Mr.. Hardie argued
that these outbreaks were bound to con-
tinue until the time came when parlia-
ment freely elected by and responsible to
the people was established. 1t was stated
that the city OF Warsaw was marked OF
for the next massacre, and probably they
would read a few days hence that fresh
pogrom or massacre had taken place, that
hundreds Of men. women and children had
been shot or beaten or sent to prison.
Whatever other people. therefore. might
think, they of the labor party were bound
to extend the hand OF friendship and OF
comradeship and to bid god-speed to the
Russian people In the struggle they were
making for political freedom. He hoped
ere long that they would welcome the
people of Russia into the great brother
hood of nations which were seeking to
make the earth a better and a p easanter
been overthrow. Only when czardom had
been overthrown. nevermore to raise its
deaths head in the midst OF the people,
knew that Europe was groaning under the
burden of armament and one of the chief
justincations for the growth Of armies and
navies was the menace which the Russian
military autocracy constituted to the rest
OF Europe. The Russian people, however.
were essentially peace-loving people, and
when they had their own parliament. gov
ernng the Russian empire, they would seek
for a peaceful alliance with other coun-
tries not to promote ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
war; but to make war impossible for all
time coming.
AS now completed Marischal College. at
Aberdeen, Is one of the finest and most
striking granite buildings in the world. The
largest granite edifice is the Palace of the
Escurial, in Spain, but for architectural
grace and beauty of artistic conception the
buildings just opened by the king and
queen are probably unsurpassed in any
country. The Mitchell tower. which dom
mates the whole of the college. is strik-
ing feature. rising to a height of go feet
from the level of the upper quadrangle and
260 feet from the lower. 1t resembles the
tower at Westminster. but ffers from
both of these in having a central spire. The
door at the foot of the Mitchell tower leads.
by means of stone staircase, to the
picture gallery, and thence to the Mitchell
hail. which Is the graduation Or ceremonial
chamber The Mitchell hall is spacious
