IN TROUBLED RUSSIA
THE WAR OF TERRORISM SEEMS
TO BE ON IN EARNEST.
TWO IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
The Resumption of Trouble Renders
the Task of Government More
Difficult.

st. Petersburg-The wal of terror
ism which the fighting organization of
the social revolutionists declared i'm
mediately after parliament was dis
solved, e to have begun in earn
est. From all parts of the en-
pire the telegraph brings the same
story of attacks on police officials of
all classes, accompanied in the MA
jority of cases by p~lundering.
The Polish revolutionists are espe-
cially active. There is a veritable
reign of terror from the Vistula TO
the German frontier. Nearly so cases
of assassination have been reported.
Task of Government.
The resumption of terroristic actiy-
ity on a large scale renders the task
OF the government more difficult, and
darkens the prospects of the present
ministry in accomplishing anything in
the direction of an ~amelioration of
the situation. While for the moment
the campaign of the terrorists is
bound to create the revulsion OF the
mere conservative public opinion
against the wild e of the eX.
t.'emists, it is at the same time Ger.
tcin to force the government to re-
double the measures Of repression
which it is claimed will in the end
drive public sympathy back to sup
port almost any means of relief.
Some of the dispatches from Poland
assert that the outbreak of terrorism
is in retaliation for the wholesale ar
rests and repressions Of the governor
general.
The New Parliament.
The government announces that the
new parliament will not be deprived
of the right to revise the budget fol
1907. The budget will be submitted tC
parliament when it assembled in March
and in the meantime the credits fol
the first two months will be one-sixtl
of the credits of the present year, un
der the authority Of the fundamental
law assigning the credits for the pre-
ceding rear in case of the failure O.
the passage of the budget.
Several liberal papers have beer
permitted TO resume publication either
under their old anne or with new
franchises.

Many Lives Reported Lost.

Galveston, Tex.-According to state
ments made by the cable operator at
Valparaiso, who was working in direct
communication with the office in this
city, the earthquake shocks continued
at intervals all throughout the day,
and many times the operators had to
fee from their offices.
The operator at Valparaiso stated
that everything is in confusion at that
place, that many houses have been
RACED and the loss of life is believed
to be great, although no attempt has
yet been made to ascertain the num-

Volcano Roars During Quake.

Buenos Ayres-From the few de-
tails obtainable here it appears that
there were five shocks, the disturb
ances passing south along the Pacific
coast and crossing the Andes. The
shocks were severe, according to the
registration of the s~eismograph in
struments here and at Santa Rosa and
Andes City. The property loss is
enormous. Many houses were thrown
down, including the government
house. During the night the volcano
of Tupimgato was heard roaring, and
the people fed to the churches to pray
for safety. At San Juan, in th, Andes,
high winds accompanied the shocks.
The shocks seriously affected Andes
City and the towns of Rosario, Aran-

There continues confirmation of
statements as to the magnitude of the
disaster to Valparaiso, which began on
August is, and continued at frequent
intervals during the next two days.

a moderate estimate of fatalities is e.
900.

patches to the state department at

panic prevails at Valparaiso, and until
order is restored It will be impossible
to give any fair estimate. The dwell.

This is the island made amous by
Daniel De Foe as the scene of the
thrilling adventures of Robinson Cru
soe.1
The earthquakes in Chile have
ceased, the resultant fires have been
extinguished, and people of the two
cities, Valparaiso and Santiago, are
taking good steps to relieve suffering,
care for the wounded, and bury the
dead. The period of succor has en-
tered.
Dispatches received from Chile tend
to show that the first estimates OF
casualties and material damage had
been greatly exaggerated, and that
the people of Valparaiso are becoming
calmer.
It is still impossible to reach any
correct estimate of the dead and in
jured. The reports from Chile are
most conflicting. A large section CT
the country, however, was visited by
the catastrophe of last Thursday.
The number of dead in Valparaiso
doubtless will run into the hundreds,
and for the entire country probably
into the thousands. The property
damage is estimated at from two
hundreds to three hundrrd million dol
lars.
The remoter districts have not yet
been heard from, and efforts are be-
ing made to establish communication,
either by wire or couriers, with the
provinces.
The statement is made that every
building in Valparaiso has been dam
aged, and that the city has been de-
scribed as 'uninhabitable."
Santiago suffered much less than
Valparaiso. The number of dead in
Santiago is reported at 20.
1t is reported that six or eight
towns in the stricken districts have
been destroyed, but details are still
lacking.

Thomas A. Edison seems to have
hit upon a valuable idea outside OF
electricity. He proposes that molds
be made for a house Of a given de-
sign, SO that liquid cement a be
poured into it. He estimates that in
this way a house worth $4,000 can
be built for $500. The thing looks
feasible, says the Chicago Chronicle.
and if it should ever be realized will
prove far more valuable than most
of Mr.. Edison's electric inventions,
one reason being that these hardly
ever turn out as well as Mr.. Edison
expected.

German government statistics show
that 43,421 horses and 2,151 dogs
were slaughtered for food under gov.
eminent inspection during the first
three months of 1906. This was an
increase of 1922 horses and 366 dogs
over the number slaughtered during
the same time in 1905. 1t is esti-
mated, says the National P~rovisioner,
that among the poorer classes, forced
to resort to dog and horse meat by
the exclusion of foreign meats from
the country, the consumption of this
sort of meat was much larger than
the official records show.

Dissertation of VALPARAISO.

Valparaiso is located on the west
ern coast of South America, on Val
paraiso bay, and is a city of about $780,
900 inhabitants. 1t has an immense
trade swith the outside world. The
Andes mountains tower above it on
all sides. In 1880 much damage was
done to the city by an earthquake, but
it quickly recovered from the shock.
1t is noted for its many fine buildings
and the industry of its people, who
are energetic in business and fierce in
warfare.
