 Governor Nalaaman. who is seeking election to the United States senate declared that if he won membership in th upper house of congress, he would make his fight on the floor Of that body. believing that he had the support of the entire south.
 He insisted that a crisis in the re- latio of the races in the southern states is at hand and that the prob lem of white supremacy or black dom ination should be settled at once.
 Il favor unqualifedly and without reserve the abroeation of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution, sald Govrnor Nardaman, and it is my hope through the United States senate to demonstrate to the nation that there is only one practical way of settling this matter. and that is by plainly showing the negro his proper place in our system of government.

The CITY OF VALPARAISO

Valparaiso, perched, like San Fran
cisco, upon rugged hills overlooking a
blue bay Of the Pacific, is an import
ant commercial city. The streets are
lined with fine shops, offices, banks
and warehouses.
There is a fine, long mole, supplied
with cranes, hydraulic machinery and
all necessary appliances for taking
care Of the traffic Of the port. Back
Of the mole are rows of custom houses,
bonded warehouses, government struc-
lures, and little further nthe back
ground the city itself, built upon ter
races of the hills.
On the south side of the bay are
the spacious suburbs of Neuva Male
con and Gran Avenida, from which
pass out one Of the finest thorough
fares in Valparaiso, the Avenida de
Las Delicias. The lower central Sec
ton of the city is constituted by the
Almendral, having regular and attrac-
tive streets and containing the prin-
cipal business houses, the park, the
Plaza Victoria and the National the
atre.
To the northwest of this section is
the quarter Of the city known as the
puerto, Tor port, in which are situat-
ed the greater number Of public
buildings and the vast warehouses.
In this portion Of the city, however,
narrow and crooked streets are still a
feature, but the newer sections Of
Valparaiso have an attractive, mod
ern appearance, the buildings in the
business quarters being massively
built.
Valparaiso is the capital of the
province of that name, and the chief
seaport of Chile. II is sixty-eight
miles northwest of Santiago, with
which it is connected by rail. Vina
del Mar, few miles to the east, is a
noted suburb and q seaside resort.
Valparaiso enjoys a mild and equable
climate, the average temperature be-
ing So, the average for January SO,
and for July SO.
The town has some well constructed
streets, and square with many mon-
uments. The more important monu-
ments include statues of Columbus,
William Wheelwright, who built the
first railway in South America; Thom-
as Cochrane, who organized the Chill
can navy, surmounted by a statue OF
Admiral Pratt. The port is strongly
fortified and the government main-
tains there large navy arsenal.
The cheif manufactures are cotton
goods, machinery, and iron work |;

LATEST BULLETIN--2A.M.
Confirms the Worst Reports.

Buenos Ayres, Argentina, August
l8.--The Associated Press has receiv-
ed authoritative information confirm
ing the worst reports Of the earth
quake in Chile.
Valparaiso is partially destroyed.
Most of the damage done was in the
center of the city, extending from
Plaza del 0rden to Plaza Prat.
Many lives were lost, but the num-
Der is not yet known. Hundreds of
persons are injured.
A state of panic prevails at Val
paraiso. Santiago also suffered Sc
verely, and there was much loss of
life. Los Andes, IS miles east of San
Felipe and having a population of
5000, was almost destroyed. The first
buildings of the town, the government
house, hotels and public offices, were
completely wrecked. Other towns on
the Chilean side of the Andes wholly
or partially destroyed are Quillota,
with population of 5000; Llay, with
a population of $500; Illapel, with a
population of 5000; Vallenar, with
population of 5000, and San Felipe,
having 10000 Inhabitants. Quilleota
is mass of ruins, and there was a
great loss of life there. From San
tiago to the Andes, every bridge and
tunnel on the railway was utterly
wrecked, and the railroad lines torn
up.
The shock is supposed to have been
caused by the eruption of volcano
near Jenin Los Andes. 1t is impossi-
BILE to estimate the dimensions of the
disaster at the present moment, owing
to the circitous route over which news
is received. There is no doubt, how
ever, that the catastrophe was of ter
rible PROPORTIONS
The disaster has cast gloom over
the republic of Argentine, and all fes-
tivities have been susnended.
All ordinary means of communica-
tion with Chile are closed. There is
great anxiety here. The public is
waiting to ascertain the fate of rela-
tives and friends in Chile, and the
government Office and newspapers are
besieged by anxious enquirers.

other interests are the manufacture
of tobacco, the bottling Of mineral
water, sugar refining, brewing and dis
tilling. The harbor is very accessible
and has complete system of docks,
warehouses and shipyards. Valpar-
also exports grain, wool, leather, gu
ano, copper and saltpetre. The popu-
lation in 1900 was 1854, Of which
10000 are foreigners. II has been the
port for Santiago since 1544. 1t was
visited by terrible earthquake in
1855, and bombarded by the Spanish
fleet in 1866. During the civil war
of 1891 it was taken and partly sack
ed by the congressional troops. Se-
we're storms and tidal wave at Val
paraiso June 30, 1899, wrecked the
railroad and did great damage to the
city.
Elevators connect the lower parts
Of the city with the villa section on
the heights.
The port Of Valparaiso is the ter
minus Of important lines of steamers
for Europe by way of the Straits Of
Magellan and Panama, and is the
center Of the South American coast
ing services.
II contains numerous foreign col
ony, composed chiefly of British, Ger
man and French merchants. There is

of the books in November, 1905, ev-
