SIXTEENTH! YEAR. EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANOS ‘eismic Shocks in the Bouthwest Followed By Fiery Eruptions. VOUNTAINS CRUMBLE AND FALL Lofty Peaks Leveled and Others Ene shrouded in Smoke and Flamo 7A Lake Dried Up — MSher Marvels, Mother Earth Upheaved, TUCRON, Ariz., May 4.—An earthquakeog- eurred nt 2:12 p. m. yesterday., No one was Injured. ©onsiderable damage was done to buiidings. Goods were thrown from the shelves of stores and many houses were eracked, The shock was accompanied by a rumbling sound. Many clocks were stopped In the ety and the entire population fled to the streets terror stricken, The court house tupola swayed like the mastof aship in a turbulent sea and the building seemed ns though it were toppling over. When the shock struck Santa Catalina mountain, great slices of the mountain weretorn from its side and thrown to its base. Vast clouds of dust rose above Its crest 7,000 feet above the sea level at three different points, from three to four miles apart. It was believed for some time that a volcano had burst out at the crest of the mountain. One towering peak, known as the Old Castle, a prominent land mark from Tucson, has entirely disappeared, The extent of the damage cannot be told for several days. This was the first earthquake ever experienced in Tucson. Shortly after the earthquake a vol- cano broke out twenty-two miles south of this place in the Total Wreck mountains. ‘The sky is brilllantly illuminated. 1t s believed that a volcano was in active operation in the San Jose mountains or on the border of Sonora, Mexico, about seventy- five miles west of here, yesterday afternoon. A black, curling smoke was plainly visible all last night. The tires were intermittent, bursting into bright light and then appar- ently dying down, only to burst out again. ‘The true state ot affairs 18 not known here yet, From a private telegram from Fort Huachuca this morning it was learned that General Forsyth, commanding the post, would head an investicating expe- dition heading from Pantano. Total Wreck, Crittenton, Globe and elsewhere show that the earthquake has been general throughout southern Arizona. In 't‘n('snn no serious damage was done. ‘There is no part of the eitybut shows its effc It will be some time before full effect of the earthquake in the Sanfan Oatalina monntains can be * learned, as the ral is one of the most rugged and difticult of ss ip the territory. BENKON, Ariz., May 4. volcanic erup- tion is pronounced zeat tpm WV hetstone mountain, Parties on" the train last night report that the tire was seen coming from the mountain.

No damage is reported so far, though all elocks stopped running. Similar shocks were felt along the line of the Sonora railroad. ‘The following is from the agent at Torres station: “'One minute after the first quiver- g sensation, the highest cliff of Chivato mountain fell, causing a cloud of dust to rise like smoke from the explosion of a large amount of powder. From the station it had the appearance of a voleanic eruption.” ALBUQUERQUE, N. M,, May 4,—This city experienced two distinct shocks of earth- (‘;unkfi at 8:13 yesterday afternoon.

Cu1cAGo, May 4.—To-day, the first anni- versary of the Haymarket bomb-throwing, was made the occasion of a significant action by the German-Americans of this city.

Michaelis and his property, ac- cording to evidence in the anarchist trial, were marked for destruction in the outbreak & year ago to-day, and only escaped because of the cowardice of the group that was de- tailed to accomplish the purpose.

Victoria, B, C,, May 4.—The Colonmist’s Maniamo special says a terrible explosion occurred in a shaft of the Victoria Coal com- pany last night. One hundred and fifty men are believed to be in the mine. At midnight twelve bodies were recovered. Some were dead, and others seriously or fatally burned. T'here are little hopes of rescuing alive any of those yet in the mine, A rescuing party went down, but owing to the black damp were unable to do anythin, , Hud- son, one of the reseuing party, died soon after coming out, mine is now on fire. The scene around shaft is most heart- rending. A special train with surgeons ar- rived at 2 this morning from Victos NANAMO, B, C,, May 4.—A terrible ex- plosion of gas took place last evening in No. 1 shaft of the Vancouver Coal company mine, in which there were upwards of 150 miners at the time. The first intimation these on the surtace had of the explosion was a terrific shock, followed by an outburst of thick, black smoke through the air shaft. The tirst explosion was quickly followed by a second one, stronger than the first, carry- ing pieces of wo miners’ lamps, etc., hundreds of feet the air. In a few minutes flames commence, to issue through the air shaft with a lound. roaring 1u a short time the tan house ecaught (d was quickly consumed. In the meantine nine white men and four Chinese were brought up through No. 1 on the hoist- ing shatt. R, Gibson miraculously escaped from the Towerslope by following his way to the stables, where he was met by a rescuing party. Rescuing parties continued to at- tempt to reach the entombed miners, but were able to rescue only fifteen up to this hour. They were overcome with after-damp and had to be rescued by others of those noble rescuers. Samuel Hudson suceumbad to the effects of the after-damp. The acenes around the shafthead is most heartrending, The frienas ot those imprisoned below are look- ing for the missing. At this hour (2 p. m.) but little hopes are entertained for the safety of the imprisoned men. The fires are still raging, but 1t is thought will soon be gotten under control. A rescuing party will again attempt to go below. Among those saved are Georee Davis, John Smith, J. Jounes, James Stones, John Lynn, Jules Michael. Among the dead are W.Craven, W. W. Dayis, W. Watson, 4. R. Gilis "The fire is still burning and it will be im- Fnsslmu to attempt a rescue before morning, fthen. The probability is thatall th prisoned miners, numbering about be suffocated. —— Blair's New Administration. BLAIR, Neb,, May 4.—|Special to the BeE.|—Blair's new or newly elected city oflicers created somewhat of a furore among the saloon men at their regular meeting Monday nignt, by their defering the consideration of applications for licenses for two weeks. They bad been elected by the “boys” with the strict understanding at least that they would erant licenses at the old price, 8662, but it was discovered that there was a determination of a majority of the council, with the sanction of the mayor, to raise the license to $1,000. This would have to be done by a new ordinance, and the passage of the new ordinance being objected 0, lhe{ voted to lay the applications over until the next regular meeting. One day’s prohibition, howe: brought the *boys” around with propositions to call a special meeting at once and they would pay the £1,000. So to-day Blair has the saloons in full blast, although In less numbers than formerly, Mayor Walters s serving his third term and is giving general satisfaction. He re- n[)nn[med Dr. Taylor city physician, and W. H. Farnsworth city attorney, and has ap- pointed J. L. Edwards city marshal. Blair's system of water works is said to be the best In the state, and the revenue de- rived from it now must be nearly sufficient to sustain it. Blair has no boom to speak of this spring, but is quietly and steadily growing and prospering. Farmers say that small grain sown is com- ing up and bids tair to do well. Corn plow- ing bas just commenced. Fremont's Street Railway. . FrEMONT, Neb,, May 4.—[Speeial to the BEE.|—A short time ago a move was made in Fremont for the organization of a street car company.

BOTHERING OLD BISMARCK. Oritioisms on His Conduct in the Austro- Ruesian Negotiations. FOREIGN FASHION FANCIES, Mayday in Vienna—Scenes of the Cel- ebration—Beautiful Ladies—Not- able Costumes—An Ameri can Queen. Patriots and Panslavists, 1Copyrighted 1557 by James Gordo « Ben nett.] Viexsa, May 4—[New York Herald Cable Special to the Bre.]—\Who Kkilled Cock Robin to many people seems an imper- tinent query compared with the question, who arranged the Austrian occupation of Bosnia-Herzgovinia which hus just caused such a lively little three-cornered quarrel be- tween Bi an interesting one. The most cnerished Pan- slavist theories were knocked on the head by Nordedeutsche Algemaine Zeitung's reve- lation of the private Austro- Russian negotiation which preceded the occupation and the Berlin treaty. 1t destroyed the lezend that Germany had, from hatred ot Russia, persuaded Austria to secure the provinces. It showed up the double dealing of the Panslavists. KatkofI's furious denials went for nothing against Ser- via’s official assertions. Bismarck’s mouth- piece and Andrassy’s intervention gaye. & new turn to the quarrel. /After posing so long as a patriot and anti-Banslavist it was naturally disagreeable forthe ex-chancellor to be introduced to his touchy Maagyar countrymen in this new and undesirable character. 1t would have been fatal to his reputation in Hungary to let the sentiments of the Nordedeutsche pass unanswered, In the article, evidently iuspired by Andrassy, Pesterlloyd denies there was any secret bar- gain with Russia before the occupation of the two provinces, He refuses even to admit he had any intercourse with Obrutscheff, the famous Russian emissary. There are more ways than one, however, of nego- tiating with foreign azents, and as Pestherlloyd acknowledzes Andrassy in- tormed Russia before the Turl war began, Austria-Hunzary would regard the invasion of Bosnia-Herzgovinai by another power as a casus belli. The contradiction between his version ofaffairsand Bismarck’s i8 thus less real than apparent, and the Pan- slavists who in 1877 were all powerful in St, Petersburg have still to disprove that they themselves and not Germany arranged, or at least agreed, to the occupation they afterwards denounced so savagely., IT BEATS GUN POWDER, ‘The latest explosive is an Russian inven- tion. According to the description pub- lished here it is noiseless and smokeless and has ten times the force of gunpowder. The inventor, an engineer named Pakscheff, thinks this invention equally useful for in- dustral as for warlike purposes. Manufac- turers anxious to give ita trial will not all speak at once. VIENESE LADIES AND FASITONS, Sunday was a great day here. All towns turned out on footor in carriages for the an- nual “Maifest” or May festival in the Prater Viennese theequivalentof what once was the Paris promenade. De Lonechamps. Had the weather been finer the display of toilets and number of carringes would doubtless have been finer. Despite the heavy skies, how- ever, nearly four thousand vehicles filled the broad haupt allee with life. The brilliancy of hnalf a dozen court carriages and several dashing four-in-hands, notably an English one, gave an artistic touch to the spectacle, but as usual the chief attractions were the pretty bonnets and tasteful dresses of the fair Viennese. ‘The Longehamp itself, though it may ha had a more brilliant dlsolay of toile! showed more beautiful faces and figures. ‘The Viennese fashions will leave the ladies plenty of latitude for indulgence in private taste and caprice. Most of the cos- tumes, though nominally toilettes de vould have done equally well ng room. Sharply contrasted hues seemed in great favor with ladies of all ages. The bonnets were of showy colors, especially red, blue and yellow gold being the rule, while the trimmings included flowers, feathers, lace and passementerie, often almost hiding the straw structures beneath, » One lady made a sensation in a voluptuous pale blue dress lovsely fastened by a golden girdle and she carried a sunshade embroidered in goldand palm leaves. An- other striking novelty was a so-called blou malade dress with white stripes on which were embroidered designs in gold and steel, Many ladies had sunshades attached to their arws by golden chains and jewelled armlets. Princess Paul Esterhazy wore a blue and white striped moire dress, a gold straw ca pote trimmed with lace of pink flowers. Countess Zichy came out in an airy pale blue voile de nonne striped with red, puffed sleeves, while crepe de chine jabot, round pale yellow straw bonnet trimmed with pale plue and creme tulle, Princess Metternich appeared in & rich but sombre biack lace dress trimmed with jet and moire ribbon, black lace, bonnet to match, relleved with yellow field flowers. Baroness Roths- child wore a dainty pearl grey silk costume with dove colored cashmere tunic and tablier, white crepe de chine jabot enriched with lace, grey silk girdle and a charming capote to match. Mrs, Paddle- ford, an American beauty, attracted much attentiod in an eccentric grey suit, trimmed with flowers of a crepe creation. On dit Mrs. Paddletord, so well known in New York, is anxious to follow the footsteps of Mrs, Langtry and Mrs. James Brown Pot- ter.

R, Smith, first lord of tha treasury, announced in the commons this afternoon that the gov- ernment had resolved that the allegation that the statement by the London Times that Dillon told a talsehood while speaking In the house of commons and that paper's utter- ances concerning his alleged relations with Sheridap, the invincible, was a breach of privilege, was not sustained by precedent, Mr. Smith said it would be against the dignity of the house to summons the Times to the bar without previously inquiring into the circumstances. The government, feeling 1t to be their duty to endeavor to solve the question, had instructed the attorney zen- eral to prosecute the Times for libel on Dil- lon, who was at liberty to select such counsel as he saw fit, In commons to-night Dilion said he aidn’t consider the ordinary tribunals of England, in the present state of political feeling on the Irish question, fairly open to members of the Iri hror\y in the fnam of cow:nons, He therefore maintained he had a right to be heard before the committee.

On motion of Bradlaugh the debate ad- journed. i T. P. O'Connor demned the vern- ment’s proposal. He kaid he commiserated the government on their humiliatinz and de- grading vosition. Thair proposal was really for collusive action at _law made by Valer of libel.

Sir Harcourt denounced the go ent’s proposal.

Dawson, editor of tbe Charleston s and Courier, arrived in this city yesterday from France, where his family is at present sojourning. He was met by a reporter at the hotel, The captain was very much annoyed by the following editorial paragraph which appeared in Mon- day’s Sun: “Who that didn’t know the fact would suppose that not more than a dozen years ago F. W. Dawson, éditor of the Charleston News and Courler, was the seedy supplicant and vpensioner of tbe South Carolina thieves.” Captain Dawson .said to the reporter: “These vicious and wanton attacks upon me by the New York Sun have reached a phase when I mustact. Asan old newspaper man, I can stand a good dedl in the way of malicious and even bitter att but when it comes to ersonal villiticationof this horrible type, rherc must be a settlement between the Sun and me which shall dgeide my rights in the matter. I have just given my attorney di- rections to bring sult libel against the Sun at once, layl \mages af ,000. This paragraph is Phe last straw, but it is a pretty heavy one, afid, as all my friends know, without a shrgd of justification.” n_smashed a corrunt rinting ring in_Sol Cnrollnul and out of revenge, the ringsters printed a lot of private letters distorted so s to make it ap) that Dawson connived at their rascality,.

It Causes Great Indignation Among Some Members of the Cabinet. THEY WON'T BE AT THE DINNER. The President Denounced For Ban- queting a Negress—A Falling Off in Canadian Trade—National Oapital News, Cabinet Officers on Colos Wasmisaroy, May 4.—|Special Tele- gram to the Bep.|—DPresident Cleveland is confronted with the color line in his eabinet in connection with his proposed dimner on ) evening to Queen Kapivlani, of now in the city. The queen has the color of a funll-blooded negro. Her hair is erimp and her features every one of the African type. Assoon as these were dis covered by two or three members ot the cabi- net and their wives, there was a protest against this elaborate recognition of her highness. One cabinet officer, reported to be Secretary Lamar, is quoted as saying that he could not maintain his respectability and sit at the table with a negress, and that he will not attend the dinner. Among the cabinet ladies who ealled upon the queen this after- noon Mrs. Lamar was not. Others are re- ported to be very indignant because the president and Mrs. Cleveland are making so much of the ruler of Hawali, while hundreds of lesser lights in ofticial cireles, all from the north, are making a hubub ever the matter, and ate denouncing every one who sympa- thizes with those who are doing the courtesy to the vueen. They declare it is pandering to position, and that the queen of Hawaii is no better than a scrub woman in the depart- ments or those on the plantations in the south. Were it not for official patronage, President Cleveland would be denounced by, these persons in a public way, but as it is they are content to talk in half suppressed tones, Iowever, their feeling is very ap- parent, and the outlook for a very formal dinner and forced attentions at the white nouse on Friday evening affords some topic of conversation e\'cr)‘\\'fiuro to-night. Talk of Eighty-Eight. WASHINGTON, May 4.—|Special Telegram to the Bi |—=Prominence I8 given in this evening’s Star to an interview with an un- named republican congressman, whose utter- ances have been endorsed by many who do not hesitate to speak over their names. Ie says that up to about the time congress ad- journed he had accepted it as a foregone con- clusion that Mr. Blaine would be their next nominee. Since then he has become doubt- ful. Sherm.an, he savs, has made some big strikes of late, and there seems now to be a close race between them, with it very doubt- ful which is in the lead. ‘‘lt looks more like Sherman,” he says, “‘than it ever did before, but it may be that neither will got it. What- ever we may say publicly, we all know that it is not going to be an easy thing to beat Mr. Cleveland. We will have no show in the fight if we enter it hnndlmr]w(l with in- ternal differences. The party leaders recog- nize the fact that the whole party has got to pull towether to win and that individual preferences have got to be sunk for the good of the whole party. They are trving to effect harmony and the claims of individuals will be set aside for a time. The question is who wlll best hold the entire re publican strength, and an etfort will be made to nominate aman who will do this. This makes it a little uncertain Mr. Blaine. 1t may be that peither Blaine nor Sherman will get the nomination, but that some outside man will be called. It is claimed for Mr. Blaine that he will draw inore democratic votes than he will lose republican. It is certain that he would get more democratic votes than any other republican could, but the question is whether it is well to trust o this. Many of the best party leaders hold that the fate' of the party mustbe with men of its own faith; that the strongest candidate is the man who can carry the whole party. This will all be carefully considered before it becomes a sure thing for anyone, There is no douby in the world that Mr. Cleveland is well Tiked by many of our best republican statesmen. Some of the best men of the party went with nim before, and the probability that he would get still more of them it we should nominate Blaine must be considered. We must not de- ceive oursel ‘The Conkling element is as bitter st Mr. Blaine as ever, and the hatred of Mr. Edmunds tor him is intens ‘This must all be considered. We must use our forces to the very best advantage to beat Mr. Cleveland, and the wisest council will have to be followed. 1 donot mean by this that Mr, Blaine may not be the choice of the party, but that he will be is by no means as certain as it seemed to be a few months ago. He will not be nominated as a mere matter of sentiment, Among the Military. ‘Wasm~NaToN, May 4,—|Special Telegram to the Bee.|—The war department is in- formed of the death of Captain Rezin G.

To exemplify, & case has just come under wy notice of a Canadian mer- chant who tried to make a purchase of Cali- fornia goods amounting to about 10,000, but had to give it up on account of the inability of American railwavs to make his freight rate, and consequently purchased else- where.” or A Musical Row.

F. sser to Major Holmes Conrad, concerning the report that General Sheridan contemplates another ride up the Shenandoal valley. Rosser says: ‘1 had hoped that our beautiful valley should never again be desecrated by his foot-prints. Cold, eruel and brutal must be the character of this soldier who fondly cherishes memories of the wild, wanton waste and desolation which his barbarous torch spread through the valley so that now a crow cannot fly over this valley without carr; its. rations, Sheridan has done nothing since the war to atone for his eruel barbarism during the war. Now I say to you, my dear major, and to our gallant comrades who are now in the valley, that I hope you will allow this man to make his trinmphant ride upthe valley in peace, but have him go like the miserable crow, carrying his rations with him.” Ci1icAGo, May 4.—The Daily News’ Wash- Ington special gays: General Thomas R.

The only dis- tinet line of dem atie policy which at this time awakens the enthusiasm of friends and excites the denunciation of foes, is e where deseribed as the “Kentucky idea.” (Cheers,) And what is the Ken- tucky idea? 1t is, so far as L am able to In- terpret it, a steady clinging to the idea that the government belongs to many and is not the exclusive property of a few, (Apvlause), an obstinate instance that this idea shall be carried intd every administrative and lezis- Iate affairs, and applied alike to the self- annointed of the great unwashed. (Laughter and applause.) The air is full of nostrums, I'here is the protectionists’ wonderful iron tonie for making men rich by taxation.

(Prolongad applause.) It is be- cause 1 believe this that 1 am unwilling to yield one ineh of the people’s ground to the encroachments of innovation and hold these innovations more dan- gerous when they come clad in the raiment and flying the flav of spurious dg- mooracy.
