Half RenuhIic Is Shaken

Mexico City, April 16.-The Federal
telegraph Office here has informed the
Associated Press that Sunday nights
earthquake has inteIfered with the
working of the wires in all parts of the
republic south of a line drawn from
Acapulco en- the west coast to Tampico
on the Gulf coast. From messages re-
ceiyed at the telegraph office up to noon
it appears that the entire south half of
the republic including the lower coun-
try and the Mesaba belt felt the shock
The National Bank of Mexico has re-
ceived telegram saying that 500 lives
we're lost in the destruction of Chilapa
and Chilpansingo. In government cir
Giles the report is not credited. 1t is
admitted that both cities were leveled
to the ground, but it is not thought
that the death list will even approx
mate 500, owing to the fact that the
houses are built Of stone in order to re-
sist earthquake shocks.

Money tor United States.

Shanghai, April 16.-The sum Of
So, 900 received from the United States
by the Famine Relief commission to-
day was used to purchase 100000
pounds of dried potatoes, which were
rushed to the front. A dispatch was
received today from a Chinese official
offering to put, for the first time in
history, steamboats, above the locks Of
the Grand canal, thus cutting down the
time for transportation to the famine
district from this city to eight days.
Further particulars of the distress ex-
listing show that the people are eating
the green scum from the ponds, white
clay and the hulls Of rice.

LAST vEsTIGE OF WAR.
Japan Transfers Msnchurian Railroad
to Goto's Company.

Toxic, April 15.-When the man
agement of the Manchurian railways
was transferred to Baron Goto's COM
pany on April l, the Japanese govern
ment commenced Withdrawing the
remnant of the troops employed in
Manchuria. This work was completed
on April 8. whereupon the imperial
government at Pekin warmly thanked
Japan, which, it is expected, will re-
duce its railway guard to less than one
half the number of men stipulated by
the treaty negotiated at Portsmouth,
N. H., which limited the number CT
guards to five men per kilometer. In
an interview Baron Goto said:
"The last vestige Of war in this Sec
tion has now been removed. Fair play
is my guiding principle. In promoting
the peaceful development of Manchuria
through which our railway runs, ma
tional differences will tie entirely ig-
nored. Manchuria will be made a
field for competition of all nations. In
order that We may carry out this prin-
ciple, | crave patience on the part Of
those interested. Remember that the
management of the road was orly
transferred to us on the first of the
present month. The allowance Of suffi.
cient time will insure the realization Of
our plans, and we dread nothing more
than impatient interference"

TAMPERlNo WITH GOLD COINS
Entire Output of Denver Mint Under
Legal Fineness.

Denver. April 16. - Department
heads of the new United States mint
in this city and three government
agents connected with the mint head
quarters began today checking up the
coinage of the mint and making the an
nual settlements, several weeks in ad-
vance of the usual time for these settle
ments. This action, following the gov
eminent report that gold coins from the
Denver mint have been found to be
under value in fineness of gold, though
up to grade in weight, means that the
government has tegun action to discov-
ell who is responsible for the discre-
pancy in fineness.
The government report states that
the coins are found to be under fine to
the extent of cents on every 500 gold
piece. The discrepancy was discovered
by the Bank of England assayer, who
passed on a shipment of 81 800, 900
made to England in January.

Alexander Brice OF Kirknewtown, who
in March. 1865, made a simple expert
ment with the contents of a stone jug
driven face downward into over six
Inches Of snow. What he learned was
that a greater or less degree Of cold,
or Of wind, when the snow falls, and
its lying a longer or shorter time on
the ground" will occasion a difference
in the weight and In the quantity Of
water produced but IT, he added, 81
may trust to the above trials, which l
endeavored to perform with care, snow,
newly fallen, with a moderate gale of
wind, freezing cold, will produce a
quantity Of water equal to one-tenth
