ONSTANTINOPLE. April 4.-The
following dispatch was received here
today from the Rev. Roy r. Lee, head
of the American mission at Bitlis:
AT 10 o'clock I'm the forenoon of
March 30 there burst upon us unan-
nounced the worst earthquake wit
messed ia1 forty years in these or the
Erzeroun volcanic regions.
such was its force that our city
seemed to be in the jaws of some mon
ster. who would shake us into shreds
as some mastiff does his game.
Down came the plastering and the
furniture was overturned. Cracks were
opened i'm strong walls. roofs were shat
tered and rain poured in.
During the first day there were
fourteen shocks, and they still continue.
There have been altogether twenty
eight shocks.
"Of the 1000 houses here, over 300
have fallen and the remainder have
been seriously damaged, about $50 to
$500 being needed to repair each house.
"The official report shows that eight
persons were killed by falling walls. but
they are all unknown I'm Bitlis Many
persons were wounded and many
churches and government buildings
were damaged. The surrounding VII
lagos sustained heavy shocks, but 1t
was i'm the daytime, so that there was
no great loss of life.
"The foreigners at Bitlis are the Rus
sian consul, Charlotte E. Ely Mary A.
Ceceley, Royal M. Cole and Miss Nellie
A. Cole.
Famine prices prevail and there is
great poverty and extreme suffering.

LABOR TROUBLES

Stocks Advancing RapidIy-MayfIower
Finds Nine Feet of Hlah
Grade Milling Ore 1870
Feet Deep
speclal 70 Nc Herald.

Special to The Herald.
RHYOLITE, New, April 4.-Within
the past week the Rhyolite stocks have
been steadily advancing, for the labor
troubles in Goldfeld and $he conse-
quent rumors have caused a falling off
in Goldfield trades and a subsequent
added interest in Bullfrog.
Added to the general increase reports
from the various mines are extremely
favorable.
From the Mayhower Consolidated
comes the report of the discovery of
nine feet of high grade milling ore at
the bottom of a 1S0-foot shaft.
The ore will run better than $40 across
the entire bottom of the shaft, while
pay chute that has 800 values promises
shipping ore at once, with promise of
increased values as the vein Is fol-
lowed.
Superintendent Smith has three shafts
on the property and has done a great
deal of drifting, cross-cutting and tun-
neling, and at present the Mayfower is
considered TO be one Of the best prop
critics in the Bullfrog district.
New Shaft Sunk
On the Gold Bar south extension a
new shaft has been sunk, and at the
bottom Of the 25-foot working the men
y
been assayed, promises returns for the
investment.
There is no stock of this company at
present on the market, for the company
has a strong treasury.
Patents have been applied for by j.
Ross Clark for the Commodore and by
Taylor & Grihiths for the Alliance
while the survey for the Gold Bar
south extension patents have been
made.
At the Homestake extension the men
are driving a tunnel for the Home
stake vein and have already cross-cut
several rich stringers of ore. These
have not been followed up, as Curtis
Mann, who is I'm charge of the property,
Is of the opinion that the main ledge is
not more than fifty feet beyond the end
of his tunnel.

then owned by the Southern Pacific,
or build q line to the ocean.
Naturally they had chosen the for
mer course. The Union Pacific must
either secure the Central Pacific or see
it absorbed by q rival, which 1t could
not consent to even though the South
ern Pacific company owned the South
ern Pacific Sunset line as we'll as
tho Central Pacific Hence, he argued!
the transaction should be regarded as
the purchase of a connecting rather
than a competing line.
Replying to Mr.. Clements, Mr.. Lovett
said the Union Pacific had bought into
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe as
an Investment. He Contended for the
legality Of this transaction, and when
reminded that his position was at vari-
ance with that Of Mr.. Hartman said
one might easily differ from that gem
tleman on a legal question. Commits
sioner Clark said hat such a line Of
reasoning would lead to the conclusion
that one man with sufficient money
might control all the railroahds of the
country and Mr. Lovett said he did
not believe that the constitution would
interfere with such a right by any
man.
Purpose Of the Law
Mr.. Lovett contended that the anti
trust law does not deal with the ques-
tion of the acquisition of the stock of
one company by another but it's sole
purpose is to prevent the suppression
OF competition in restraint of trade.
No such result. he declared, had fol-
lowed the Union Pacific purchase Of
theh Southern Pacific securities.
Speaking of Senator Clark's line from
Salt Lake to Los Angeles, which the
senator had built in conjunction with
the Union Pacific stockholders, Mr..
Lovett contended for their right to
enter upon this enterprise. While he
was willing to admit the law might
prohibit the acquisition by one com
pany Of q paralleh road, he argued that
this prohibition does not extend to the
construction of a parallel line.
In reply to Mr.. Lane, he said there
had been no change in the ownership
Of the Clark road since the beginning
of the hearing Attorney John G. Mil
burn expressed the opinion that If the
Southern PacificUnion Pacific system
is illegal every railroad system in the
United States is illegal.
He considered the question involved
is the most important that could pos
siby be raised in connection with the
railroads. He said he was sure other
systems would have more difficulty
than he and his fellow counsel in sus-
tanning their contentious. Purchase of
the Southern Pacific, he declared, was
legal under the antitrust law. IF
you make illegal every purchase of
railroad property you stop
the business of the world" he said,
and then declared the wheels could
not revolve for twenty-four hours un-
der such a restriction.
Makes Comparison
In support of the assertion that the
great mass of business in the ac-
quisition of property interferes with
he referred to the gem
eral tendency toward consolidation of
business interests.
All these combinations rest upon
right of purchase, he said, and he
that such a right is recog-
lized regardless of it's effect upon COM
petition.
Mr.. Milburn will continue tomorrow.

attired they are carried by members of
