San Diego, Cal., and neighboring towns were visited yesterday afternoon by a series of earthquakes of more than ordinary severity.: The first shock occurred at 3:03 p-m., and was followed at intervals of a quarter of a minute by two others, the last veing one of the strongest experienced since he coming of Americans. People in brick houses swarmed into the streets, bearing the startling grinding of bricks and mortar, and seeing, in some cases, the walls crack. A heavy sound was heard in all parts of the city immediately preceding the quake. Considerable con- stetnation was caused in the public schools, the children in some of the rooms being hastily dismissed. Clocks were stopped, windows and doors were shaken sensibly. The second shock was observed by few People, being very light and coming when all were talking of the first; but the third was so pronouneed as to again bring the people into the streets. ‘Telephone messagés from Upper Otay, National City and other places showed thi shock was felt @t all surrounding places. Loose rocks were shaken from the hillsides and rattled down the canons, and a heavy groan and boomjng noise accompanied the tremors. The observer reported another slight ben gr en *25 o'clock, but not so strong as the first ones, but quite per- ceptible. It was not felt on the ground. The waves came G = to west in all in- stances. So far as known no damage was 29 {+00 A Pension Campaign Document.

Have Cried Calamity, but Now Can't Prove It—A Lively Fight All Correspondence of The Evening Star. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Oct. 24, 1804, ‘The democrats are putting on an extra head of steam for the closing days of the campaign, and the fight they will set up would be creditable in a presidential year. The republicans fired their big gun when McKinley made his sky-rocket tour through the state, but the democrats have a lot of big~ guns to fire early after McKinley's echoes die away. Assistant Secretary of State Edwin F. Uhl arrived in Michigan Saturday, and addressed a big meeting in Detroit that night, and ts down for fifteen Speeches in the state before the campaign ends, closing in this city the night befere election. Congressman Asher G. Caruth of Kentucky is helping the Michigan democrats to the extent of s dozen speeches. Ex-Governor James E. Camp- bell of Ohio is booked for three speeches the last week of the campaign, speaking in this city, Saginaw and Bay City. Vice President Stevenson will give Michigan one day, speaking the afternoon of Octo- ber 29 at Jackson, and in Detroit in the evening. Gen. 3. F. Cary, a favorite in the state in the old greenback days, has been laboring @ month already, and ts booked up to election day. Judge Allen B. Morse, consul at Glasgow, has come home to help the campaign, and William. E. Quinby, minister at The Hague, is also at home, but will lend his moral influence to the cause rather than preach democracy. In addition to these shining lights from abroad, Spencer O. Fisher, the gubernatorial candidate, is putting up a very hot fight. Last week he made a tour through the upper peninsula, and this week is can- vassing western Michigan. The only other nominee on the state ticket who is doing anything is James O'Hara, the candidate for attorney general. The candidates for Congress are all on the stump, and they are being aided by a swarm of local orators. A careful and impartial review of the situation indicates that the republicans are losing ground as election day draws near. With the widespread dissatisfaction and disaffection in democratics ranks, due almost entirely to the operations of the referee system, there is little question but that the republicans will sweep the state as they have not done before since those days when to be a democrat was looked upcn almost as something criminal. Still Losing Ground. But it is easy to see that they are losing grovnd, and losing rapidly. Last summ: when the lines were laid for the campaign the “times” were still hard, business was dead, and factories and work shops were idle or runtiing short-handed and short time. It was decided to make the hard times the leading issue of the campaign, laying all the blame of the manifold disasters of the country at the doors of the democracy. It was, in other words, to be a calamity cam- paign, and though a little late for the open- ing, McKinley, as Michigan’s choice for ‘96, was depended upon to strike the key note. He did, and the key was pitched in @ most lugubrious tone. But since the plans of the campaign were laid there has been a wonderful change in the business and industrial situation, and this change has taken a wonderful lot of wind out of the republican sails. It ts hard to con- vince the people that the country is going to eternal smash when the factories are running nights to keep up with orders, and that is the handicap the most eloquent of the republican orators have been laboring under. It is needless to say that the demo- crats do not modestly refrain from pointing to the revival of business as one of the di- rect results of the Wilson bill. The republicans are also losing ground among the farmers. It is true that wheat and wool are down, but the farmers are well off this year, having had large fruit and vegetable crops and good id e that the low prices of everything they buy at the store are due directly to reductions in the tariff. In addition to this, the farmers are, as a rule, in favor of free silver. Gov. Rich has no views on the financial ques- tion, and the republican platform is non- committal, while Mr. Fisher ts in all his speeches advocating free silver, and at the same time is attacking Gov. Rich’s admin- istration. Early in the season the pros- pects were that the democrats would be on the defensive throughout, but the situation has so changed that they are now making the fight aggressive, while the republicans are on the defensive. Were the democrats united as they were two years ago they would stand a very good chance of carrying the state. The candidacy of 8. S. Olds for the short term senatorship has at last been announc- ed, but not until the time limit for making nominat.ons had expired. Mr. Olds has been laboring all summer for Senator Mc- Millan's re-election, and under his direction most of the slates have been arranged and tickets put up. If he were not tolerably certain of how enough legislators to elect will vote, if themselves elected, it is safe to say Mr. Olds would not announce himself. He may be put down as the leading candi- date for the short term, with Julius Caesar Burrows second on the list, Jay Hubbell third, and John Patton is not in it. Political Notes. The big campaign speeches “below Har- lem” began in New York last night, Sena- tor Hill speaking in Brooklyn and Tam- many holding a mass meeting at the wig- wam. Next week Chauncey M. Depew will give two days on a special train to speaking in New York state. Vice President Stevenson will be in New York on Thursday, and will make three speeches—in Brooklyn, Poughkeepsie and Troy, and Secretary Carlisle has also agreed to make at least one speech during the clos- ing week of the campaign. The “committee of seventy” had a ratifi- cation meeting at Cooper Union last night, at which Carl Schurz, Seth Low, ex-Secre- tary Fairchild, Dr. Parkhurst and other eminent reformers spoke in favor of the election of Strong for the mayoralty and against Tammany and its methods. A more enthusiastic or larger gathering than that in and around the Brooklyn Academy of Music last evening is seldom seen. The democracy of Kings county sallied. forth to welcome Senator David B. Hill at the first big rally in Brooklyn of the campaign. Ex-President Harrison will be in New York today, and Chairman Hackett expects to arrange for a mammoth meeting, if pos- sible. Friday Gov. McKinley, whom it is pro- posed to take through New York state on a special train, will epen at Buffalo, and will make about twelve speeches in two days. ————=+e+- The Christian Church. At yesterday’s session of the Christian Church convention, at Richmond, Va., the report of the board of negro evangelization and education was submitted. This report showed that the total cash raised for carrying on this work and for the South- ern Christian Institute was $6,558.41. This Presbyterian Synod of Virginia. The synod of Virginia, which embraces all the ministers and churches of the South- ern Presbyterian Church in Maryland, Vir- ginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia, met in annual session at Dan- ville, Va., last night.

Likely to Get the Legislatare, While the Republicans Claim the State Ticket —Jerry Simpson Safe. Correspondence of The Evening Star. TOPEKA, Kansas, October 21, 164. During the past week ‘in Kansas a per- ceptible change is noticed in favor of the Populists, and unless the republicans are able to arrest the tide of enthusiasm which has set In for Gov. Lewelling and the popu- Ust ticket, the result will Le exceedingly close. Two weeks ago the election of the en- tire republican ticket seemed certain. The enthusiasm, sentiment and zeal were with that perty. Now, at the most critical pe- riod of the campaign, this ardor is waning and populist enthusiasm and earnestness are growing. One hundred meetings are being held every day by each party, while the demo- erats are fighting valiantly for every vote Possible. Gov. Lewelling and his associ- ates have been subjected to nearly every charge imaginable. They have been as- sailed as boodlers, corruptionists and credit destroyers, and still have maintained a silence on these matters, and to this date not a single populist has demanded of any of them an explanation. All these charges are denominated “republican lies,” and that, to the average populist voter, is a suffi- cient answer. Chairman Breldenthal said to The Evening Star correspondent today that Kansas would remain in the populist column without question. “We will re- elect Gov. Lewellirg, win five of the eight Congressmen and the legislature.” He feels absolutely certain of this result. Se Do the Others. At the republican headquarters the same confidence is expressed. Chairman Leland says Major Morrill will as certainly be elected governcr as the sun shines on the 6th day of November. He claims all the wry from 20,000 to 30,000 plurality for the State ticket. This majority over the pop- ulists, he says, will insure the election of 70 of the 125 members of the House of Fep- resentatives, which will elect a United States Senator by the close margin of two votes. The Sen: holds over and it stands 25 populists to 15 ublicat Chairman Breidenthal of the populist_com- mittee is a candidate for United States Senator and is bending every energy to elect @ populist legislature. He is, in fact, neglecting the state ticket to save a United States Senator. On the other hand, Chairman Leland of the republican committee is devoting his entire time to the state ticket. He is Maj. Morrill’s political manager. He is the ni tonal committceman from Kansas, and hai ambitions for a place unde: the next na- tional administration, if the republicans win, and is therefore wrapped up in the election of the state ticket. With this situ- ation it is believed by many politicians that the republicans will win the state ticket by a small plurality, and that the populists will elect a majority of the members of the legislature. The Third and Seventh. The battle ground in Kansas is in the third and seventh congressional districts. In the third Rev. J. D. Botkin is the popu- list nominee. The withdrawal of Congress- man Hudson gave the republican candidate, S. 8. Kirkpatrick, quite an advantage dur- ing the interim between that date and the nomination of Botkin; but during the past two weeks the new candidate has been greeted with great crowds of people where- ever he has spoken. He is a powerful ora- tor and convinces his hearers of his hon- esty and sincerity. Unless a change of sentiment in the third district toward Kirk- patrick occurs, the result there will be very close, and neither candidate can expect } More than 500 inajority. In the seventh district Jerry Simpson, though a sick man, is making a hard fight for re-election. He has not recovered his health, but he goes about over the district encouraging his friends and party workers to renewed activity. The republicans ad- mit that Simpson will defeat Long if con- ditions do not change within the next two weeks, The republicans will elect Broderick in the first, Miller in the second and Curtis in the fourth, by majorities ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 in each district, while the fifth and sixth are hanging in the balance. The probability is that the result will be so close in these districts that it will require the official count to decide it. —_— THE STOLEN POSTAGE STAMPS. Arthar H. Sey: Makes a Clean Breast of His Knowledge. United States Commissioner Shields, in New York, began yesterday an examina- tion of Harry Lionel Brown end Charles Harer of that city, arrested by secret serv- ice detectives last week for buying postage stamps, knowing them to have been stolen. ‘The prisoners are charged with selling, or attempting tc sell, the stamps to merchants and others for & per cent discount. The first witness was Claude,Johnson, chief of the bureau of engraving and printing. He testified that on October 12, 52,000 z-cent stamps were stolen from the bureau by two employes, Longstreet and Smith, now under arrest in this city, awaiting trial. Johnson testified that since he had learn- ed of the first robbery he had learned that one lot of 104 sheets, 100 stamps in a sheet, had been taken, and also another lot of 200 sheets. William P. Hazen, chief of the secret service, testified to the arrest of Long- street and Smith, and to the loss of the stamps. Smith, he said, told him that he (Smith) went to New York three times. Once he went with a young man named Seymour. Seymour wi then called. He said his name was Arthur H. Seymour, and that he was employed in the Randall House, this city. On September 13 last, Seymour said he went to New York city with Long- street and Smith. The witness carried a lot of stamps in his hand satchel. On ar- riving in New York, Seymour said he and Smith and Longstreet. looked up Brown's address in the city. Harer, whom they had met in.New York, went with them. They were not successful in finding Brown, and they returned to the hotel. Longstreet returned to Washington that Sunday night. On the following morning Brown was found. Brown was introduced to Smith at the Sherman Square Hotel. In a billiard room in the hotel the stamps were taken from the witness’ id ‘hel, and handed to Brown. The witness saw Smith have from $140 to $150 in his possession, and he (the witness) supposed it was the money paid to Smith by Brown. Cross-exemined by Lawyer Dudley R. Horton for Brown, Seymour declared that he had been promised immunity by Chief Hazen if he would testify for the govern- ment. He understood in addition that the United States district attorney also consented to abstain from prosecuting him. Assistant United States District Attorney Pall afterward denied that there was any such understanding. Lawyer Horton asked for Brown’s dis- on the ground that he was in the advertising business and nothing had been Dr. Fairfax Irwin, surgeon of the Miami hospital service at London, in a special re- port to the surgeon general covering thé i ‘ E li This Will Probably be Repeated This Year in New Jersey. Insuring a United States Senator of That Faith—Political Gossip From All Over the 58 ee Correspondence of The Bventug Star. CAPE MAY, N. J., October 24, 1894. New Jersey will elect this year 8 Congress: men, 6 state senators and a full house of es sembly of sixty members, who, with th¢ fifteen hold-over senators, will elect @ United States Senator to succeed John R, McPherson, democrat. Nearly all the nomi nations are made, and many of the men of both sides are prominent and strong. New Jersey is now represented by two republi« cens—Loudenslager and Gardner—and sia democrats. In the next Congress the prob abilities are that five of the eight will b¢ republicans. In the first district Henry @ Loudenslager has pitted against him ex Congressman Thomas M. Ferrell, who 4e feated President Grant's Secretary of thi Navy, George M. Robeson, in 1882. Fen rell was defeated for a second term by George Hires, but since that time he hat lost none of his popularity. He was Cleves land’s internal revenue collector in the first administration. As the district is safely enough republican to insure almost any kind of a republican an election. Loudenslager ‘Will appear in the next Congress, In the second district Congressman Gant- ner has as his opponent Martin L. Haines, a Burlington county democrat, who is a bank president, but as that district was gerrymandered republican by the demo- crats, Mr, Ha'nes cannot be elected in ft. Gardner was a siate senator fifteen years— the only in New Jersey who ever serv- ed over two terms at the state capitol a® such. A Change Likely. In the third district, represented by J. A. Gelssenhainer, democrat, the republicans have very often been successful. Mr. Geis- senhainer has been nominated for a fourth term, and Jerseymen are a little partial against sending a man to Washington very long, it ts not improbable that Benjamin F. Howell, a prominent banker and lawyer of Elizabeth, will be sent to keep company with other republicans this tim eissen: hainer carried the district by plural. ity two years ago, but as that district hat known many times to turn with tbe wind, his chances of being left at home are better than they have been before. In the fourth district, now representet by Johnston Cornish, democrat, the young piano manufacturer of Washington, N. J. it is probable that Mr. Cornish will returr to Congress. He is a hustler; his district is strongly democratic, and ft never was known to send but one republican Congres: man to Washington—Benj. F. Against Mr. Cornish lon H. Pitney, young Newark lawyer, and son of Vice Chancellor Pitney. He will make a brilliant but unsuccessful run. In the fifth district the democrats turned down Congressman C. A. Cadmus becaust he voted against the Wilson bill. The dis- trict comprised the city of Paterson, the largest manufacturing center of New Jer- sey. Preston Stevenson, the chairman of the democratic convention, denounced Cadmuf in @ bitter speech, and because of his | quence the convention turned to him nominated him unanimously. He declined the nomination, and the executive commit- tee placed » the ticket Andrew JJ. Dama, rest, a farmer. The republicans have named young Recorder James F. Stewart of Paterson, a member of the republican In- dian league, who nominated Stewart against the efforts of the bosses of the district, and the prospects are that Stewart will be elected, because his popularity will proba- bly turn over the plurality of 1,462 giver two years ago to Cadmus. The Chances for Mr. English, In the sixth district it is the same fight of two years ago over again between Congress man Thomas Dunn English, democrat, the poet, and Richard Wayne Parker, the prom: inent Newark lawyer, republican. Mr. English carried the district the last time by 1,367 plurality, but since then the city of Newark has changed from a democratic to a republican city, with a new mayor, who carried the city by near three thous: and, and eleven republican assemblymen te place of democrats. For this reason Mr, Parker's chances are . In the seventh district, comprising the democratic stronghold of Hudson county, the democrats have named Congressman Fielder for another office—that of register and placed Col. Edwin A. Stevens in hig stead. Stevens is a millionaire, a brother- in-law to the late Edward P. C. Lew, whe Gied as minister to Portugal during Mr, Cleveland's first term. Against him the re- publicens have put up Thomas McEwan, the brilliant leader in the republican house of assembly last winter. McEwan is an in- dependent fellow, who resigned the leader- ship because he was allowed to do only what the bosses wanted, and because of that he was named for Congress. Hig chances are slim, as the district is demo- cratic by 5,000. In the eighth district, which comprises no- where and odds and ends of several coun- ties, the democrats have renominated Con- gressman John T. Dunn, who will have to fight ex-Surrogate Charies H. Fowler of Middlesex county. Fowler is popular, and his chances this year are There are six state senators to be elected, one from each of the counties of Furlington, May, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Passate and Sussex, all of which are represented by democrats. It is probable that the repub- licans will regain three—Burlington, Cape May and Passaic, usually republican—which wil make the republican majority in the state serate seven. A full house of assembly of sixty mem- bers are to be elected. The republican tidal wave in the state last year, which elected six out of seven senators, gave the republi- cans forty of the sixty members last year. This year they do not look for so much, but if Essex county, in which the city of Newark is situated, keeps up her record, the next house will be safely republican, to insure the election of a republican United States Senator, which points very clear; —- ex-United States Senator William J, Sewell. fhe middie states conference of the Uni- versalist Church began a three days’ gath- ering last night at the Second Universalist Church at Baltimore.
