earthquake and heavy casualties have
resulted, according to late press re-
ports received here.
Incomplete press reports indicate
that the state of Vera Cruz suffered
more than any other section, although
seismic disturbances were felt
throughout the entire republic. Ad-
vices from Cordoba say that thirty
dead have already been accounted for
IN San Juan CoscOmatepec, where
many houses were destroyed. There
are unconfirmed reports of similar
catastrophe in Huatusco.
AT Jalapa, further north, fifty vic

counted, including numerous dead.
Lack of communication with the
other small towns and villages in the
theatre of the disturbance make even
an approximate estimate of the cas-
ualties impossible.
The earthquake caused great alarm
in the large cities. Marine disturb

there, although the number is not
known, with considerable. destruction
of property.
The panic in the capital among the
ignorant classes was understandable.
Many of the people fled from their

Panic reigned in various cities and

FEDERATION HOLDS
NINE STRIKE JUST
EXECUTIVE COUNCIL CONDEMNS
GOVERNMENT INJUNCTION AS
INVASION OF RIGHTS.
Statement Made Public After Long
Session Declares Tactics of Gov
eminent Are So Autocratic AS
to Stagger Human Mind.

ashington.-Holding that the &C.
ton of the government in injunction
proceedings against striking bitumin-
GUS coal miners is $50 autOcratic as
to stagger the human mind" the exec
utive council of the American Fedora
ton of Labor declared Sunday, in a
statement issued after four-hour
meeting, that the miners walkOut was
justified, promised for the strike the
entire support of organized labor, and
asked aid and Endorsement for 1t from
the general public
The council began its session at 2
o'clock, after its members had been
hastily summoned together, and the
statement which formulated its action
was carefully revised and rewritten
by Samuel Gompers and Frank Morrl-
son, president and secretary, respec-
lively, Of the federation.
The council, in its statement, pre-
scented at length the history Of the ne
sotiations which led up to and precip-
itated the coal strike, declaring al
most In the first sentence that officers
Of the United Mine Workers did every
thing in their power to avert this great
industrial struggle. 1t reserved its bit
terest words for comment on the gov
ernment's action.
There were 22OO delegates, repre-
senting 100000 miners, seated in the
convention which called the strike, the
statement said, after briefly sketching
In complaints of working conditions in
the industry, which, it is asserted, the
miners seek to remedy by striking.
The instructions of the convention
were taken through the usual commit
tees into conference with the operat-
ors, and then, the statement puts 1t,
"our government interjected itself and
applied for an injunction"
The statement characterized the &C.
ton as invasion of the rights of min
ers," intended to starve the miners
into submission by cutting off their
strike benefits, and demanded the
withdrawal of the injunction secured
Saturday at Indianapolis Ito restore
confidence in the institutions of our
country and respect for courts"

Metric System Ex-
planned in a Minute

A member of world trade club
holds the world record Cor rapid ex-
PLANTATION of the metric weight
measurements and the way in which
they ought to be used. He does this
in one minute. An objector who had
never looked the matter up declared
that the metric system was complex
and that it would take long time
to learn it. 1t was then that the
member of World Trade club first
undertook to explain, in one minute,
all that needed to be known of
metric units. He did it to the sat
isfaction Of eminent auditors. Here
is how he did it:
Learn only the units, dollar,
meter, liter, gram, dollar, the
measure of value; meter, the meas
ure of length; liter, measure of
bulk; gram, for weight. You know
all about the American dollar. The
metric units, meter, liter, gram are
just like dollar, divided decimally
and multiplied decimally. If you
want to compare metric units with
present units, the meter is 10 per
cent more than the yard; 500 grams
is about 10 per cent more than the
pound avoirdupois, the liter is per
cent less than the U. s. liquid quart
(13 per cent less than, the British
liquid quart that is all 80 per cent
need to use the metric standards"

Washington.-A surprising number
of American-bOrn children are grow

country districts than in the cities ac-

Statistics in five states in which the
employment of children is general. It
was stated, show that out of 1896
children between IA and 16 more than
one-fourth could not read or write
their names legibly. Nearly 10 per
cent have never gone beyond the first

than half were in the fourth grade or
lower when they left school. Only
about 3 per cent got as far as the
