EARTHQUAKE RUINS VALPARAISO
and BADLY DAMAGES SANTIAGO

Valparaiso, Chill, Aug. 19.-At 1852
O'Clock last Thursday evening val
paraiso experienced an earthquake or
great severity and during that night
eigEty-two shocks were felt.
Most of the buildings of the city are
either burned or damaged. The loss
will be enormous, probably reaching
$3.50, 900.
Two thousand persons killed is con
sidered to be a fair estimate of the
casualties.
Vina Del Mar. three miles from Val
paraiso and having population OF
over 10000; Quirivue, 225 miles to the
southwark, with a population of $500;
Salto, Limache, fifteen miles to the
northwest. with a population of $500;
Quillota, twenty-five miles 10 the north
west, with population of 10000, and
villages all around We're 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 liter, and it is al
most impossible TO obtain meat, even
at high prices.
The railroads are all destroyed.
Rain. which began to fall immedi
ately after the first shock, stopped an
hour afterward. The nights are very
cold and windy, the people sleeping
in the open are suffering greatly.
The captain of steamship which
has arrived from San Francisco says
the situation here is worse than that
following the disaster at San Fran
cisco.

Denver-After, all bills were paid,
the Elks' entertainment comrAittee
found themselves with several thous-
and dollars on hand, instead of the
usual deficit. The subscriptions were
generous in the extreme, but anyone
who saw what was done in Denver that
week would not have thought il likely
that any subscriptions would more

The surplus money was as wisely
used as it was skilfully saved, one

the post office department are of par
ticular interest as bearing upon this
proposition. These returns furnish
the basis on which post oflice salaries
are adjusted at the beginning of a
new fiscal year. and it is seen that
the people as a whole We're never
more prosperous. The first, second
and third class offices, which are in.
cluded in this arrangement, number
5,651, and of these the revenues OF
2,67O, or Al per cent, justify increases
which range from 800 to Sl20 per
year. while in only 800 offices has
there been a decrease in receipts.
That is, this year there has been a
net increase in AZ per cent. of the
offices. Last year the gross increase
was 33 per cent. and the net increase

a curious survival of an old law
appeared in France recently when a
woman who had taken a couple OF
buckets of water out of the sea at
Boulogne was threatened with fine
by the customs officials for having
violated an enactment of Louis XIV
The old law forbade the taking OF
sea water lest those taking it should
extract the salt and so defraud the
revenues of the salt tax, and the
woman was compelled to show that
she merely intended to give hel
little boy a salt water bath.

ment made it the occasion for announcing
what would be the paramount issue in
Hearts's campaign for Governor. Justice
Samuel Seabury made the announcement.
He said;
The question is whether we shall have
the right to vote. In comparison with
that all other questions sink into signif-
cance. II we do not have the right to count
our votes then practically we ave not
the right to vote. The right to vote has
been impair ed-taken away from US by
the crime Of last November. Those who
attempted to take away that right did
more to instigate lawlessness thar any
other force.
The men who planned with p~remedita-
ton the crime are equally responsible with
the thugs and the repeaters. The other
men, whether they be lawyers or not, who
tried to ,perpetrate the plan are Just as
guilty. And we should not forget, too,
that a Republican Legislature refused to
right the wrong, and in that refusal MADE
themselves accessories after the fact.
Tonight at tine Democratic Club a man
who holds title to Office through fraud and
robbery had the audacity to respond to
the toast Democracy / 10 not know
