MEXICAN EARTHQUAKE
KILLS ELEVEN AND INJURIES TWENTY-SEVEN PEOPLE AT
 CHlLPANCINGO.

Chilpancingo, Mexico, April.-This city has been completely destroyed by one of the most furious earthquakes that has ever visited this section. Up to date the known dead number II aid the badly injured ?. Among the dead is the wife of Postal Inspector Leopold Lopez Guerra and the cbild of Jose Aleman, the postmaster of the city; Jose Lopez Martinez, manager of the Federal Telegraph office has been badly injured by being struck on the head by a block of stone. The utmost panic prevails everywhere and people are fleeing to the open coun- try. The earth continues to rock at intervals of every half hour and these minor shocks are completing the work of destruction of the first earthquake.
 All telegraph communication with the outside world ceased shortly af- ter 11:30 o'clock Monday night when the first shock was felt. The tele- graph operators have installed tenn porary quarters in an open square and are working with the sky for roof. NOTQ Has IedCUeu uGTe lDdJ luG tUWH of Chilapa 42 kilometers to the north eastward, has also been destroyed. As yet no details have been received as to the number of the dead and wound ed, but it is feared that the list will be long one.
 This city is the capital of the State Guerrero, and four years ago was wis ited by an earthquake which killed and wounded many of it's inhabitants and destroyed a large part of the town. The population of the town is T. 49S, and until the panic into which the citizens have been thrown abates- some. it will be impossible to state ac- curately to just what extent the recent earthquake has decreased it. The pop ulation of the city of Chilapa is 15s 900, and that place is the home of th& bishop of the Catholic church, who ad- ministers to the ecclesiastic affaira of the entire region. No word has been received from the bishops pal ace, and it is not known at this time whether or not he was victim of the shock

Problems Raised By Two-cent Rate.

A rather peculiar situation has been developed by the new two-cent rail. road rate law ill Arkansas, and many questions are confronting the passen- ger departments of t,la different roads. For instance:
 The Cotton Belt depot at Texarkana is only few feet across the Arkansas line, but d traveller purchasing tick ct there for point in Arkansas must pay at the rate of three cents mile. The new two-ce1t rate law is effective only between Arkansas points, and although the station at ~Texarkana is within stones throw of the boundary line the Cotton Belt holds that the old rate of three cents should be charged for tickets bought to Ar kansas points. The Iron Mountain depot is within a short distance of the Cotton Belt, but is within the boundary lines Of Arkansas, hence tickets over the Iron Mountain for Arkansas points can be purchased at the rate of two cents mile. How ever, the Iron Mountain maintains the old rate for tickets purchased to any point outside the state, and has done away with the old 1 12 cent per mile clergy and charity rate.
