NEWS OF THE ORIENT Most Violent Earthquakes Within Fifty Years. -—— NEW JAPAN-INDIA STEAMSHIP LINE. oe Bankers Coming to Study the Sil- ver Queation. RUSSIA’S FINGER IN COREA. VANCOUVER,B. C.,Oct. 25.—The steamer Empress of Japan arrived from the Orient last evening, making the trip from Yokohama in eleven days eighteen hours. She had twenty-seven saloon and twelve in- termediate passengers. She also had on board 263 Chinese. Her cargo consists of 2,000 tons of merchandise. Among the passengers were R. N. Ven- ning, the Canadian commissioner sent to the seal islands of the Russian coast, and Capt. Englis, instructor in the Japanese navy. The steamer brings Oriental advices as follows: The report of recent violent earthquakes in Kagoshima received by the Japanese government says that the greatest shock was unprecedented in violence for fifty or sixty years. Water in wells changed color. Some of the wells dried up, while others overflowed. Sixty-three cracks were noticéd in the roads, and stone walls were broken at different places, The Nippon Yuson Kaisha (a Japanese steamship company) has establisned & line of steamers between Japan and India. The steamers will sail from Kobe every three weeks. The Hiroshima Maru, the pioneer vessel, is to leave Bombay November 7: Several bank officials have been sent to the United States and India by ‘he Japanese government to investigate the silver ques- tion. The deputation to India has already left. The deputation to the United States was to have left on the steamer City of Peking on the 14th instant. The Russian government is said to heve obtained an opportunity of interfering in Corea. The Russian government is encour- aging the emigration of Coreans au:d 10,000 of them are said to have left their native The Corean government is doing every- thing possible to prevent the exodus and the officials at the border have been or- dered to stop all persons attempting to leave Corea for Russia. Ten Coreans who had gone to Russia recently returned to their native land. They were immediately seized and ordered to suffer the death pen- alty. One of them, however, managed to escape and succeeded in crossing the fron- tier. When safe in the land of the czar he laid the matter before the Russian officials. ‘The consequence was that the Russian min- ister at Seoul received instructions to pro- test against such cruelties. Russia thus got her finger in Corea. ‘The Japanese residents at Seoul have formed a fencing school and are quietly drilling. They feel the insecurity of their position anu intend to be prepared for any emergency. —— NOT SEEN SINCE SUNDAY. Strange Disnappearan: of a Lake BUFFALO, N. Y., Oct. 2.—Mrs. Moore, wife of Capt. James A. Moore of the schooner P. 8B. Locke, which arrived here last Friday from Toledo, has mysteriously | disappeared, and it is supposed that she has committed suicide. Mrs. Moore, who it appears was jealous of her husband, came here by rail on Sunday to investi- gate a story that he was unfaithful to her. She went to the schooner that night and after a brief conversation with her hus- band in the cabin went on deck, ‘That was the last seen of her. Her hat was found on the tow post on the stern of the boat, and the captain thinks she threw herself overboard and was carried down the river by the swift current. > RAIN GREATLY NEEDED. Drought Compels a Number of Works to Suspend Operatio LONDON, Oct. 2.—On account of the drought that has prevailed for several weeks in the Hartlepool district the the supply for manufacturing purposes will be stopped tomorrow. Several factories in the district have been running on short time for weeks past on account of the scarcity of water. These and a number of others will soon shut down entirely. Thou- sands of operatives will be rendered idle until the drought breaks. ‘The city of Dublin is similarly threat- ered with a water famine. The great Guin- ness Brewing Company has closed down, and other brewing and distilling compa- nies will follow suit. — BRUTALITY PERHAPS FATAL. “Skewball” rke the Victim of a Prize Fight. GLOUCESTER, N. J., Oct. 25.—Emmett Burke, alias “Skewball,” a colored stable boy at the track, has not rallied from a knock-out blow received In a fight at the Gloucester City Athletic Club late Monday night. It is thought he cannot recover. J. B. Johnson, who fought with him and got the $100 prize, has been arrested. The tight is said to have been a brutal exhi- bition of alleged sparring. _ LEARNED A VALUABLE, SECRET. Speculators Made Money Out of Ad- vance Information on Indin Affairs. LONDON, Oct. 25.—A special to the Times from Calcutta says: The government, in a minute, accuses the exchange banks of speculation. It complains that they have overreached the government, silver being accepted because the government was ad- vised that the stability of the banks was doubtful. ‘This charge, the dispatch adds, is much resented. Te real speculators were not the banks, but a syndicate which obtained se- eret information before June 7 regarding the action proposed by the Herschell com- mission on the India currency, The mem- bers of the syndicate bought largely of paper on India and London and the govern- ment knew the secret was out, seeing as it did the inaction in purchases until the end of June and the public distrust. The result has been loss in exchange to the banks and the Indian revenue and gain to the European speculators. Now there is general recrimination between the banks and the government. ——— COMING TO WASHINGTON. Arrival at San Francisco of the Sec- retary of the Chinese Legation. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25.—Among the arrivals from the Orient yesterday on the steamer Gaelic was Kiop, secretary of the Chinese legation at Washington.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2%.—The Herald's Lima, Peru, cable says: The house of dep- uties has approved several clauses of the monetary bill now under consideration and the export duty on silver bars has been abolished.

SCHINDLER TO RETIRE. The Rabbi of a Wealthy Congrega- tion in Boston. BOSTON, Oct. %.—Rev. Dr. Solomon Schindler, rabbi for nearly twenty years of Temple Adath Israel, the wealthiest Jewish congregation in Boston, will dis- continue his ministrations in May next, when the term of his last appointment expires. Dr. Schindler stated last night that this action on his part was due to the religious apathy of the congregation. It is reported that Dr. Schindler's radical views may have had something to do with the change and that the crisis was brought about by his desire to introduce into the service a new prayer book prepared by Rabbi Kranskopf of Philadelphia. Rabbi Schindler in 1888 was elected by a unanimous vote to the school board for three years, having been put forward as a candidate by all political parties. He ts the secretary of the United Hebrew Benev- olent Society. —_———_-. MEXICO AN OBJECT LESSON. What a System of Free Silver Coin- age W! Bring About. CHICAGO, Oct. 25.—Isaac P. Gray, United States minister to Mexico, arrived in the city yesterday and is lodged at the Paimer House. Minister Gray came direct from the city of Mexico to Chicago. “I¢ the United States government wants to know what the condition of this country would be in a short time if the free coinage of silver should be attempted, it needs only to look across the Rio Grande and investi- gate the financial status of Mexico,” said Minister Gray. “Mexico's entire en a silver the result? business men and merchants of Mexico are compelled to pay seventy-four per cent for exchange on any bank in the United States or in Europe. This is due to the great de- p:eciation in silver. As Mexico is on a sil- ver basis, its money therefore depreciates with silver and becomes cheap. Business in Mexico is almost at a standstill just now, waiting to see what the outcome of silver will be when the United States takes final action on the repeal bill.” Minister, Gray will visit the fair, and after visiting three-weeks in Indiana will return to Mexico. ‘financial system is what is ——_—> — GLAD THE FIGHT IS OVER. A Feeling of Relief at Denver at the Prospect in the Senate. DENVER, Col., Oct. 25. xtra edition! All about Senators deserting silver!” was the babel of the newsboys last evening and there was a general feeling of relief everywhere. Some of the unreconciled talked hard against everything and everybody not in accord with their ideas on the silver ques- tion, but four-fifths of the people preferred unconditional repeal in preference to the proposed compromise. They knew it had to come and preferred it to be over so that the affairs of the commonwealth may rest upon a solid basis. Seeretary Newell of the chamber of com- merce says silver will win, and in the meantime Colorado wili develop her other industries. Senator Merritt says that next fall the people will declare the most em- orig whether they want free silver or no! —_—_ —_ SHOT THE BARTENDER. He Was Trying to Preserve Order in the Saloon.

Detective Tierney, who tried to inter- cept Young as he was making his escape from the saloon, received a bullet in the right shoulder. The murderer, together with George Ellis, a companion, was ar- rested and locked up at the Harrison street station. The shooting was the re- sult of the bartender’s endeavors to pre- serve order.

While the subordinates in the office have been and are row many of them men of ability, yet the position taken by the Institute of Archi- tects is that the best results cannot be ob- tained under such a system. ‘After the bill became a law a committee from the institute came to this city and had an interview with Secretary Carlisle and they say they understood from him that he was in favor of putting the law Into execution. Mr. Burnham, who is the director of works of the Chicago exposition, is the president of the institute, and asso- ciated with him are many well-known ar- chitects. They are anxious to see the law put into operation and have expressed their willing- ness, in order to give the law a fair test, to enter any competition that they may be in- vited to go in, although they -re aware that under the law no compensation will be paid except to the one whose design is ac- MANAGERS, 1326 F Street N.W.

What is Said at the Treasury. Mr. Kemper, the acting supervising ar- chitect, is quoted as saying: “It does not seem to me likely that the Secretary will take advantage of the dis- cretion allowed him by the Jaw in calling in the services of outside architects to do designing work for the Treasury Depart- ment. The only advantage that would arise from such a course would be a possi- bility of getting much better designs through competition. In the small post of- fices and court houses which form the bulk of the work of out drafting department there would be but lit#le advantage gained. The only possible benefit w arise in the case of big buildings, like city post office in this city, costing millions. The in- creased cost to the department of putting out the small work would be just the ad- ditional cost for paying the local architects for designing work, as we would still have to keep up our drafting force here to a very large extent. No, I do not think that there is much likelihood of the Secretary's taking advantage of the law. OF STOCK. RIPTION 96th sso OPEN FOR 8U AND FIRST PAYMENT SHARES §2.50 EACH PER MONTH.

A TIE-UP OF BUTTERINE. Lawrence Gardver, Marcus Baker, John W. Schaefer. 0clee How Many Thousand Pounds Have Been Su:d Without Paying Taxes. ‘The internal revenue officials and the pro- prietors of the Armour Packing Company have been in a muddle for the past week in effecting a compromise for the non-pay- ment of the tax on an immense quantity of oleomargarine or butterine, which by mis- take has been sold without the revenue tax being paid. As a result all of the butterine in prints is held by the revenue officers, and will not be allowed to be sold until the THE NATIONAL SAFE DEPOSIT, SAVINGS AND TRUST COMPANT Of the District of Columbia, CORNER 15TH ST. AND NEW YORK AVE Chartered by special sct of Congress Jan., 1967, and acts of Oct., 1890, and Feb., 1808- CAPITAL: ONE MILLION DOLLARS. affair is settled. The company, unknowing-| BENJAMIN, P_ SNYDER, Sreslient ly, have been delivering to merchants from sixty-four to sixty-seven pounds of print in what were supposed to be sixty pound boxes, charging for, it is said, and paying tax on only sixty pounds. Last week while the inspectors were making their usual rounds this irregularity by which the United States would lose two cents per pound taxes was discovered, and the offi- cials seized the goods and now all the branch houses are packed to the very doors with the seized goods. The trouble was first noticed by Deputy Collector Graves, who reported the matter to Mr. Vandiver, the collector for the dis- trict of Maryland, which includes the Dis- trict of Columbia, Delaware, Maryland and several counties of Virginia. It was then reported to the commissioner of internal revenue, where it will probably be settled, although it may be necessary to bring the Chicago officials into the matter that all the facts regarding the case may be ob- tained. As soon as the matter was reported to the Armour headquarters, their agent was immediately sent to Washington to sist in the investigation. He admits that there is overweight, but claims it to be the fault of the molds. ‘The company is carefully overhauling its books, and are trying to arrive at a settle- ment as soon as possible, as they have, it is stated, already lost between twenty-five and thirty thousand dollars, when the taxes would have amounted to only about three or four thousand. To arrive at a settlement the officers will be compelled to go back to the time of the casting of the print molds, estimate the amount of butterine sold since that time and calculate the amount of butterine on which the tax remains unpaid. The com- pany is represented as willing to effect a compromise and pay up the unpaid taxes. This instance has put the officials on their guard against anything of a similar nature happening. A careful investigation of the goods of other wholesale dealers is being made. |. JOHNSTON, ES, cash or on margin. Cotton bought and sold in New ork or New Ow leans. CORRESPONDENTS.
