EARTHQUAKE SHOCK
FELT in COSTA RIGA
MANY PEOPLE WERE PAhE-sTRlekEN

Communication Between The Va
Hious Towns Interrupted The
People Rush From Their Homes
To The Hillsides.
San Jose, Costa RIGA (Special).-
A series of earthquakes. varying in
intensity, has swept over Costa Rica,
doing vast damage. the extent Of
which can only now be estimated
at more than $1,000.000. So far
there has been no report of loss Of
life. but the people in the cities are
panic-stricken and are abandoning
their homes for the. hillsides.
In all there have been more than
30 shocks, 10 of these occurring be-
tween IL P. M. ami Al. M. Proper
ty in San Jose to the value of several
hundred thousand dollars has been
destroyed. but it is feared that it
will total far more than this. as the
vibrations of the earth have not yet
ceased.
The government ordered sus-
pension of general business until
such time as safety Is assured. The
banks and public institutions have
been closed and trade and commerce
are at standstill.
The first shocks were of slight in
tensity and caused little alarm, but
later they became much more vio-
lent. and even the staunchest build
ings were shaken to their very foun-
dalton. In several instances weak
er buildings were partially wrecked
and many person sere slightly injur-
ed. Communication between the va
rious towns has been interrupted, and
details of the damage done at these
places are lacking.

among the settlers and could not give an

Chinese National Assembly.

There is no abatement in the agitation
for the immediate summoning Of the
proposed Chinese national assembly.
Despite repeated rebuffs. the delegates
from the provincial assemblies who con-
stitute the parliamentarian league are
carrying on an active campaign and are
lsedulously endeavoring to win over
princes and ministers to their views. So
| far, however. they have failed to snake
to the original program. The question
was again fully considered at recent
council held at the imperial palace. On
the previous day a preliminary meeting
of high state dignitaries was held. at
which various suggestions were put for

Nwo-thirds of those esent are reported
to have proposed that the matter should
be compromised by shortening the period.
on the lapse of which the assembly is to
be convened. At the council, however, the
prince regent made IL clear that he would
sanction no concession: and the result
of the deliberations was the PRONUNCIATION
of an imperial rescript specifically re-
This document recalled the fact that when
a similar petition had been presented on
previous occasions the throne had replied
that the governments resolve was to
allow full period OF nine years to be
devoted to purposes Of preparation and
development before opening a national
assembly.
AS the repository of his predecessor
wishes, and in obedience to his own de-
sire to consult the best interests of the
nation, the sovereign. II proceeded. was
only too DESTROYS of converting a national
assembly. but the question OF readiness
or unreadiness was of paramount i'm
portance. and to ignore II might endanger
the whole success of the proposed system.
A national assembly constituted only one
part of the administrative machine. and its
convocation could not alone achieve any
thing toward promoting the peace and
prosperity Of the nation. Moreover. the
immense area of the Chinese empire had
to be considered as well as the difficulty
OF financing 1t under the disturbed condi-
ton too often manifested. The people.
however, could not doubt the earnest So
licitude Of the throne for their welfare,
and they must remember that the
tsucheng-yuan (senateD was to be con-
vened this year in Picking. and that 1t
would be a real preliminary to constitu-
tional government.
