amendment, providing that each
county shall constitute a senatorial
district, and shall be entitled to one
representative, with one additional
for each $4,000 population, or frac-
ton Thereof amounting to more than
5000, which will probably be in
troduced today. The law would be
self-operative, being based on the
federal and state censuses, and this,
of course, would do away with the
constitutional limitation of SO SEN
ators and &c representatives, as at
present, and Sunder the last census
would actually increase the legisla-
ture to 46 senators and So representa-
tives.

THE WORK OF THE RECENT
EARTHQUAKES IN

lapse dand Students Were left
Clinging to the Beams

Mexico City, April "details Of
the destruction wrought by the great
earthquake of last Sunday and Mon
day are reaching this city slowly. A
message fromAcapulco today con-
firmed the story of the total destruc-
ton of Aytula. The jail and hospi-
tai collapsed but the prisoners and
the patients were taken out safely.
Factories throughout the district are
in ruins and thousands of workmen
will suffer greatly from the loss of
their homes and enforced idleness.
The postofice, telegraph Office and
barracks at Aytula were totally de-
stroyed
Silesia college. in Santa Julia
which was supposed to have been
earthquake proof collapsed. The
roof above the second floor fell in
when seventy students were in the
building. Although the structure
practically fell to pieces, not one of
the students was injured. Many of
the students were left clinging to the
beams The teachers with num-
Der of pupils had left the building.
After the shock a search was made
of the ruins, and those within the
building taken out. In collapsing,
the roof was supported on one side
by beams, leaving a space where
many of the students found means
of escape from death or injury.
The death list continues to grow.
Among the dead are many members
of prominent Mexican families. In
the state of Guerrero. and elsewhere,
along the Pacific coast, the greatest
property loss occurred. In the vi
cinity of this city severe loss was suf-
fered by the Mexican Clay Manufac-
turing Company, an American con-
Germ. The damage to the company's
works will amount to $4,000. No
great damage was done in Mexico
City.

MARQUES Escaped.

Los Angeles, Cal, April H.
George Mitchell, president of the La
Dicha Mining Company, whose pro-
perties are located in Mexico, 80
miles from Chilpancingo, today re-
ceived news from Acapulco, dated
April 16, telling him of the damage
there from the earthquake. The
message says:
This city and vicinity visited by
an earthquake. No damage or loss
to Marques No news from Ladicha
yet. Our residence and Office de-
molished. Expect to save all our re-
Cords
News of the death of Inez Bonilla,
the first American reported killed in
the recent earthquake, reached the
officers of the Associated Press to-
night. Sonora Inez Bonilla, of Chill
pancingo, was the wife of the former
secretary to Governor of the state
of Guerrero.

EDWARD AND VICTOR.
Geramny Views With Suspicion Meet.
ing of the Two Kings.

Berlin, April liking Edward
meeting with King Vic
tor Emanuel at Gaeta is attracting
much attention in the German press,
which comments on the event as be-
ing an effort to isolate Germany and
win Italy away from the triple ALI
ance. An article in the Cologne
Gazette in this sense is being widely
discussed, because it is believed to
have been inspired from Berlin. The
writer says public opinion in Germany
sees in King Edwards course an at
tempt to disturb the European equili-
brium, which is calculated to awaken
misgivings regarding his disarma-
ment proposal, and finally warns
Great Britain that war with Ger
many would be dangerous for any op-
ponent or any coalition of oppon-
ents.'
This sharp language is interpreted
by the Tagliche Rundschau as mean.
ing that the German government has
grown weary of the English game OF
hide and seek and the comedy Of
peace and disarmament.

Mr.. Sutton has not as yet decided up
on what business he will go into here,
but as he is hustler it is safe to
say he will embark In something in
the near future. He cannot remain

In the HOue.

In the house, the first thing was
the reading of a memorial adopted
by the Lakeland camp of Confederate
veterans, asking for an appropriation
to erect a monument to Florida sold
iers at Chicamagua, which was spread
upon the journal.
An invitation was received from
the Pensacola bar pilots association,
rendering the use of their steam pilot
boats for trip on the bay and gulf

HEARING CLOSES
Special Commissioners Gives
Each Side Five Days to File
Briefs and Answers.

Lead. 6. D., Sept. 2.-It required PAL
of a second day to complete the testl
mony in the hearing by the Interstate
Commerce commission of the complaint
of the Lead Commercial club that the
Burlington and Northwestern railroads
We're discriminating in their rates. :
A 75-cent rate for mining machinery
from Chicago was not excessive sala
George H. Crosby, traffic manager OF
the Burlington, who explained at some
and how the public can understand
them. On cross examination Mr.. Cross
by was obliged to admit that the Bur
lington's Black Hills line had increased
its business during the past two years.
Attorneys for the compliments went
after Samuel F. Miller, of Chicago, gen
erai freight and passenger agent OF the
Northwestern, when he said that he
knew a reduction had been made some
thing like five years ago, particularly
on apples from Grand Junction. 1t was
how that these shipments had not
commenced coming into this country
until less han three years ago. Mr..
Miller denied emphatically that the new
reduction of rates just announced was
In any way due to the present hearing.
He said that lake rates at Duluth,
Mimi, had been revised and this affect
ed the rates to Pierre and Chamberlain,
and caused a similar reduction to the
Black Hills. He said he did not see
why rates should be decreased wAen
the business from Lead, Deadwood Hpd
Belle Fourche had all been decreasing
IN his line since 1902, except ore ship
ments which had increased.
H. S. Clark, of Lead, testified that
while it cost but $l0.66 to bring a car
load of freight from Chicago, both rail-
roads were charging SAG and he asked
Mr.. Crosby of the Burlington to ex-
plain. The latter replied that on the
showing of the figures the statement
was correct, but he doubted the figures.
Special Examiner Marble gave each
side fifteen days in which to file briefs
and answers and in five days to get the
evidence and arguments submitted to
the Interstate Commerce commission at
Washington.

STATE CAPITOL ON
SOLID FOUNDATION
South Dakota's New Building
is Attracting the Interest
OF Experts.

Pierre, s. D., Aug. 31.-The founda-
lions and footing courses OF the new
state capitol at Pierre are being pre-
pared under the personal supervision OF
State Engineer Samuel II. Lee, who has
been appointed experimenting engl-
neer of the capitol construction.
Before construction was commenced
a series of tests was made to determine
the Bearing capacity of the soil at diff
ferent places over the site of the build
ing. In A majority of these places the
soil at the depth Of the foundations
showed a bearing capacity of over 5000
pounds per square DOT and in no place
was his capacity found to be less t1xn
1000 pounds per square foot OF sur
face.
The footings were proportional as to
size to conform to the bearing capacity
of the soil and the superintendent
load. They are built OF concrete, re-
inforced by a grillage Of steel bars.
The steel reinforcement is for the pur-
pose Of affording tensile strength to
the footings at the place where most
needed, and also to transmit the pres
sure over the entire area covered by the
footings. By his means any tendency
to unequal settlement is avoided and
the weight to be borne is distributed
throughout the foundation area.
A leading technical journal Of New
York ha requested Mr.. Lee to prepare
an account Of his foundation work on
the new South Dakota capitol for pub.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 31.-Delaware

miles from this city, was the scene OF a
mob visitation this week. The people
!of the township have been troubled for
weeks by a chicken thief and it was
finally settled in a certain neighbour
hood where the d%epredaticns had been
the most extensive h a a certain party
was the guilty one.
! a moi of from 100 to $50 gathered

ipect, handled him rather roughly. He
was told Of what he was accused and
isome of the evidence made known ana
The was finally threatened With lynch
,inc.
! 1t is claimed that a rope was actually
placed aroun his neck. He was finally
!allowed to go. with the admonition to

hours. The victim did not see it that
way, but instead visited Canton. the
county seat, and made complaint to
Sheriff Opsal. 1t is expected that Il NUM-
der of arrests will be made.
