At daybreak this morning there was arthquake here that shook buildings. as accompanied by a rumbling sound that resembled thunder. Many people awoke from their beds in terror. The shock lasted about two seconds. LEWOOD, N. J.,, Sept. 1.—An hguake shock was experienced in this ce this morning at 6:10 o'clock. The eemed to pass from the north to h.

L.—Two distinct ks of earthquake were felt here early s morning. The first was at 3 o’clock, but was light. At 6 o’clock the.shock lasted five seconds and was accompanied by a rumbling noise resembling thunder. No damage was done. TRENTON, J., Sept. 1.—An earth- quake shock was felt in thiscity this morn- ing between 5 and 6 o’clock. A loud rum- bling noise resembling that of a heavy loaded wagon going over a pavement was heard and houses were felt to shake quite perceptibly. Window panes were also made to rattle. The shock is said to have lasted some three or four seconds. Many of those who were asleep at the time were awakened by the shock. PLAINFIELD, N. J., Sept. 1.—Quite a severe earthquake shock was perceptible in Plainfield this morning at 6 o’clock, lasting about seven seconds, buildings ering, people being thrown out of bed, ornaments scattered from mantels over the floors and other evidences of the vibra- tions were observed. HIGHBRIDGE, N. J,, Sept. 1.—An earthquake was felt here at 6 o’clock this morning and from reports it appears to have been felt all through this (Hunter- don) county. Buildings rocked, beds were ken, arousing people who had not yet risen, and in a number of houses articles fell from shelves and walls, much to the alarm of the people. The shock was greater in the northern part of the county. BROOKLYN, N. Y., Sept. 1.—Three dis- tinct earthquake shocks were felt by the residents of Brooklyn about 6 o’clock this morning. The shock was pretty severe on Coney Island, and many persons were awakened from their sleep. Pictures, crockery and even furniture in many houses were dislodged from their positions, and the owners who were not awakened by the earthquake wondered how it came to pass. NORTHPORT, N. Y., September 1.— Shortly before 6 o’clock this morning an earthquake was distinctly felt here. Houses rocked like cradles, and those asleep were awakened by the vibrations. The rumbling lasted for several seconds. PORT JEFFERSON, N. Y., Sept. 1.—An earthquake shock was felt here very per- ceptibly about 6 o’clock this morning. No damage was done. WILMINGTON, DErA., Sept. 1—A slight earthquake tremor was felt here at 6:10 o'clock this morning. The duration of the shock was about one second, but it was generally felt in the city and vicinity. The last previous tremor felt here was on March 18, 1889, LONG BRANCH, N. J., Sept. 1.—At Long Branch the earthquake was felt more distinctly than at any other place along the coast. The residents in several in- stances ran out of their houses, thinking the buildings were about to fall. A promi- nent resident said his house rocked vio- lently to and fro. shock. According to Assistant Weather Observer Smith the subterranean disturb- ance was felt in New Jersey, and it moved from south to north. He himself dis- tinctly felt it at 6:13 A, a. in his house in Brooklyn, and theshock must, therefore, of necessity have passed under Manhattan Island, though it by no means follows that the island was shaken. Although there are several buildings in the city which have been recently reported unsafe by the building department and have re- quired shoring up to prevent them from falling, no damage of any kind was re- ported by the police to-day. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 1.—The earthquake reportea from New Jersey and other northern points this morning was not mnoticed here. The delicate seismic Tecorders at the Naval Observatory did not indicate the slightest disturbance here. WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., Sept. 1.—An earthquake shock was distinctly felt here at 6:15 o'clock this morning. It lasted for a minute. Windows and dishes were shaken and rattled and persons still in bed were awakened. ASBURY PARK, N. J., Sept. 1.—An earthquake shock was distinctly felt here at6:09 o’clock this morning. Dishes rat- tled in closets and in several cases plaster was knocked from ceilings. The shock had the nature of a heavy rumbling, and in the upper stories of houses it seemed as if something heavy was being moved on the lower floors. MOUNT VERNON, N. Y., Sept. .—The residents of this city were startled about 6 ACROSS TEHUANTEPEC Mexican Railroad Com- pleted—The Termini Nearly Ready. A SHORT TRAFFIC ROUTE Most Advantageous to Ship- ping Interests of the Pa- cific Coast. HUNDREDS OF MILES SAVED. The New Line and Its Coast Term- inals Described by Engineer Bridges. The Tehuantepec Railroad has finally been completed from the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico and is now open to the required. Two parallel stone piers, 1000 feet long and capped with concrete b]ocks, will be built. Buildings, warehouses, grain_elevators, railway tracks and hy- draulic plants will be placed to facilitate the handling of freight. The city of Tehuantepec is practically a port of the western terminus and has a population of 15,000 It will cost $3,085,000 to construct the Pacific terminal, and_the cost of both ter- mini will be $5,695,000. A first-class telegraph line, with iron poles, is already completed across the isthmus and connects with Oaxaca and the City of Mexico. This route across the Isthmus of Te- huante; passes through a fertile coun- try, and there is every prospect of a profit- able local traffic. The climate is good. In many places the land is nearly level, while in others it is rolling and mountainous, table lands and rolling .country predomi- nating. Five rivers are crossed by the railroad. They are of much importance to_ the sur- rounding region for irrigation and naviga- tion purposes, and will open up as faira country as can be found in all Mexico. In this isthmus railroad Mexico has the key to the present traffic between the Eastern and Western hemispheres, and will be glad to see the Nicaragua canal opened for further development. Bear in mind that this route is 600 miles nearer San Francisco on the Pacific side than the Nicaragua route, and more than that additional nearer than the Panama route. On the Gulf side an equal distance is saved, and several hundred more miles sayed to New Orleans. This ought to interest every Californian, The effect that the Tehuantepec Railroad traffic of the world. will have upon trade between the Atlantic ADVISED BY HOPKING, Chicago’s Ex-MayorWas the Coadjutor of Mr. Debs.

Many people were awakened from a sound sleep by the rock- ing sensation, which could be nearly likened to the rolling of a vessel at sea. As no explosion has been reported in the neighborhood it is believed that a light earthquake ed here. HAS SECURED THE CHILDREN Princess Colonna Aided by the Decree of an Italian Court. NAPLES, Irary Sept. 1.— Princess Colonna, daughter of Mrs. John W. Mackay, has been given a decree of divorce by the court in Naples, allowing her the full custody of her three children. ‘When she separated from the Prince she | found that she could not take the boys | from the jurisdiction of the court. This prevented her from returning to the United | States. i The oldest of the boys, Andrea, is now | 10; Bianca is 8 and Marco 6. Since the | separation they bave divided their time | between their father and mother, and the | For thirty years the Government of Mex- ico has had in view the construction of this short transcontinental line, and during the last fifteen years it has worked to this end amid financial difficulties and long delays. To President Diaz of the Mexican republic is due no small amount of credit for the perseverance of the Government in carry- ing the enterprise through to its comple- tion. The railroad is 130 miles long and has iron and steel viaducts and bridges. Itfol- lows a direct line from the Gulf of Tehunan- tepec on the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico on the Atlantic coast, and traverses the most northerly isthmus between the two great oceans. Built by the Mexican Government the roadbed and equipment are most substan- tial. There 1s but one tunnel and the maximum grades are only 2 per cent. The Government will operate the line asa na- ‘tional road with equal privileges to all transportation companies. At present all traffic has to be lightered at both termini, for the harborsare not yet completed. - The Government is constructing an eastern harbor at the mouth of the States and the countries of Europe and the Pacific coast of America on the one hand and upon the trade between the Uni(e\‘i States and Asiatic ports on the other, will be demonstrated b{ the time saved in the transfer of freight by this route. Admiral, then Captain, Schufeldt of the United States navy, in an official report made in 1871, thus’ forcibly expressed the commercial advantages of Tehuantepec: “Each isthmus rises into importance as it lies nearer to the center of the American (United States) commercial interests.” Other things being equal, says a published report, the route whicl as the greatest advantages will lie nearest to what may be considered the axial line of the world’s commerce. which may be drawn on the globe between Hongkong and Yokohama on the Asiatic coast across the Pa- cific Ocean, through San Francisco, across the United States to New York, and across the At- lantic to Liverpool and Havre. Tehuantepec, of all the interoceanic routes, lies nearest to this “axial line.” In a direct line the distance is 12 00 miles between Tehuantepec and Pan- ama, or about as far as from New York to New Orleans. Examination of 4 globe will show that short- est sail or steamer route from Eastern Asia to any point on the Pacific coast of the American isthmus passes in close proximity to the shore line of Tehuantepec. In fact the shortest great circle from Panama to Hongkong will pass through Tehuantepec, east of San Francisco, and nearly up to the Alentian Islands. Even the shortest route from Panama to the Ha- waiian Islands will pass close to Tehuantepec. The following distances in statute miles be- life, and confirms the statement by inter- views with President Eugene V. Debs of the American Railway Union in Wood- stock jail and Vice-President George W. Howard in this city. Mr. Howard declares that some time previous to the ordering of the strike against the railroads the American Rail- way Union officials received word that Mayor Hopkins would like to see them. A meeting was arranged at which Debs, Howard, the Mayor and' his business part- ner, Mr. Secord, one or two city officials and a newspaper reporter were present. The prospective strike was the chief topic of conversation. Mr Howard said his plan was to have work stopped at the Pull- man repair shops at St. Louis and Ludlow, Ky., and bave the car inspectors on the different roads refuse to pass sleeping cars in need of repairs. As the railroads would need to have the usual number of sleeping cars they would demand that Pullman live up to the terms of his contract. Pull- man would be unable to do so and the roads would only be too glad to zet out from under his monopoly and he would have to do something. Mr. Secord spoke very emphatically SEETCH SHOWING THE APPROACHES FOR SEA-GOING VESSELS, NOW BEING CONSTRUCTED, TO CONNECT WITH THE TEHUAN- TEPEC RAILROAD; ALSO DOCK AND GRAIN ELEVATORS. fondness which the Prince showed for the lads was a source of poignant grief to the mother. The Princess made a number of efforts to legally secure full con- trol of har children, but without CONEY ISLAND, N. Y., Bept. 1L— Shortly after 6 o’clock this morning an earthquake shock was felt here. The Old Sea Beach Palace building rocked to and fro for several seconds and several windows were broken. At the Chute en- closure Captain Paul Boynton says that the big structure also shook for a while and the glass in two windows of his office were rattled so it cracked *in several places, Atthe Oriental, Manhattan and Brighton Beach hotels the big buildings also got a good shaking and several guests, according to the managers, got out of bed and rushed to the windows to see what the trouble was. The shock lasted several seconds. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. .—According to the officials of the Weather Bureau to- day it is indisputable that the earthquake which was felt in New Jersey passed on to New York, but very few people could be found who would admit having felt the success. From time to time there have been rumors of settlements made or impending by which the mother was to have the children upon the settlement of an amnesty upon the Prince. These proved unfounded and only a few days ago the friends of the Princess found it neces- sary to indignantly deny that she had ar- ranged to purchase her freedom for 60,000 francs a year. To-day the court in Naples, before which the controversy between the Prince and Princess has been carried on, issued a de- cree giving the full custody of the children to the mother. On representation being made that there might be trouble in carry- ing out the court’s decree, it was directed that, if necessary, force should be used to restore the children to the Princess. The boys have latety been with the Prince, but they rejoined their mother yesterday and her friends declare that the Prince uever shall get them again. A% A aa Coatzocoalcos River on the Gulf of Mexico. This river has a waterfall of 6500 square miles, and it enters the gulf between sand duneson one bank and solid rock sixty feet in height on the other bank. At the bar the channel is being deepened from twelve to thirty feet, making a harbor practically ten miles long. Two parallel rock jetties, 800 feet apart, are being built out to a distance of 4500 feet from shore, extending to where there is thirty feet of water. In addition to these jetties a 2000-foot wharf on steel piles is being put up at right angles to the jetties and 100 feet from the shore line. The steep slopes of the tween several ports has been compiled at the | against Howard’s proposition, and said his Hydrogr:ghhs Office, Bureau of Navigation, of the United States Navy Department.

If that was done on one or two of the roads, it would shut off the revenue and bring about a settlement. According to Mr. Howard, Mayor Hopkins then said: “That’s right. Tie them up, Debs; tie them up. If you only get one or two roads, it will shut off the revenue and bring the old man to arbitration. Iknew him for a good many years, and I know he will con- tinue to fight. The shops don’t cut much of a figure; money goes out there, as well as it comes. As Secord says, the railroads will make the repairs on his cars, and he can shut down the shops and keep them closed until they starve. The only thing to do is to tie up some of the lines that haul his cars.” . Mr. Debs, when seen at the Woodstock jail, said: “That statement is substantially correct. I don’t feel that it would be quite right for me to repeat what Mr. Hopkins said on that occasion. It has been a good while gince then, and no public mention has ever yet been made of the conversation, 1 would not of my own accord repeat it, but since you ask me whether it is true, I can’t deny it without lying, and if I refuse to discuss the matter its truthfulness will be taken for granted. I don’t understand that the conversation was altogether pri- vate. Secrecy was not enjoined, but at the same time I have some delicacy about speaking of it. If the Mayor thought he was right, I don’t see why he should hesi- tate to stand by what he said.”” Mr. Debs said there would be no more great strikes. The strike last summer was the climax of railway disturbances and this country would never see another one like it. The time had gone by for that method of settling difficulties between railway companies and their employes. Asked if he considered himself a martyr, Mr. Debs said: “No, sir. It requires no courage to bear the penalties of one’s honest convictions. I am not vain enough or presumptuous enough to lay any claims to martyrdom. It is by the merest chance that I am in jail on account of the strike. It might have been any other one out of the millions of people in this country.” Mr. Debs has served over three months of his jail sentence and says he will be glad when the remaining three are over. Meanwhile he spends sixteen hours a day over his books and correspondence. He looks well and is enjoying good health. KNIGHTS OF THE RED FLAG They Carried a Crimson Ban- ner in Chicago, but It Was Draped. Soclallsts and Anarchists Held a Celebration and Speakers Denounce Mayor Swift. CHICAGO, Irv., Sept. 1.—The Knights of the Red Flag carried their banner through the streets of Chicago to-day, not- withstanding the orders of the Mayor, but its redness was concealed by a covering of black. They held a celebration this after- noon in the back yard of a saloon on Cly- bourne avenue, at which Oscar Neebe and Michael Schwab, two of the anarchists pardoned by Governor Altgeld, with Lucy Parsons, were present. The day was maae the occasion for the socialistic labor party of Chicago, a hand- some red flag made by the wives and daughters of Socialists being most promi- nent. At the grounds it was unfurled amid great cheers, but it was not waved according to orders. The gathering of Socialists, some of whom declared themselves to be anarchists and others who would be in- sulted at the name, was not so large or enthusiastic as other similar assemblages have been. The speakers of the day were M. V. Britzeus and Michael Schwab. After the presentation of the flag -Mr. Britzeus scored Mayor Swift for interfering with the liberty of American citizens by re- fusing them the right to march through the streets with a red flag, ““the symbol of socialism.” Mr. Schwab disappointed those who asked him to say much regarding his being put in prison. The gentleman did say that his followers would succeed if a hundred thousand of them were thrown in prison, but he failed to make any per- sonal remarks. He urged those present not to go home and sleep, but to go to work and rally their people and teach their children to fight against oppression. COLLISION AND A DENTH, Rivalry Results in the Sinking of a Tugboat and the Killing of a Fireman. One Vessel WasITowing a Steamer ‘and Resented Interference in Sensatlonal Style. DULUTH, Mi~N,, Sept. 1.—The fight made by Inman’s tug line upon the Sing- er’s tug line because the latter entered into the vessel-towing business resulted in the sinking of Inman’s tug Pathfinder in the harbor, close to the docks, before the eyes of thousands of people, and also in the death of Charles Scully, a fireman on the Pathfinder. . At noon the steamer Joliet arrived light for ore, and was taken out in the lake by Singer’s tug Medina, with which arrange- ments were made for the towing. They came through the canal at a good pace, the Medina slightly in the lead and on the starboard side. Inside the canal the Pathfinder was wait- ing, and ran ahead to port of the Joliet. Two thousand feet from the canal the Pathfinder crossed the Joliet’s bow to drop in between the steamer and the Medina and take the line which had just been given to the Medina. The Medina pushed the Pathfinder, causing her to list, and in twenty seconds the Pathfinder was on the bottom in eighteen feet of water. One of the firemen jumped on the Me- dina, but all the other Pathfinder men jumped into the water and were rescued, with the exception of Scully. Captain Dietzel of the Medina and Captan J. Ed- ward Brown of the Pathfinder were ar- rested. Scully’s body was recovered. It is the general opinion that Brown was to blame. ey 2 S ANOTHER RIOTER EXECUTED. But There Is No End to the Attack on Missionaries. LONDON, Excrax», Sept. L—A dispatch from Shanghai says that the sixteenth person sentenced for participation in the massacre of missionaries at Ku Cheng has been executed. The dispatch adds that as yet nothing has been done in- regard to the claims made by the British and Ameri- can Ministers respecting. the attacks on missionaries at Szcuen. The Times will to-morrow publish a dis- patch from Shanghai saying that some Chinese Christians have been brutally har- ried near Hing-Hua, in the province of Fokien. Their houses were burned, their property plundered and their cattle stolen. One man was fatally wounded. A magis- trate was asked five times to assist the Christians, but he refused to do anything to prevent the outrages. This magistrate has published an ambiguous proclamation referring to the Ku Cheng massacre in- citing the rising against the Christians. ‘Further and worse troubles are expected, MUST MOVE THE ORE, Militia to Protect the Men in Michigan Mines. ONE THOUSAND STRIKERS Encamped for the Purpose of Preventing the Opera- tion of Shovels. THEY ARE IN AN UGLY MOOD. Great Excitement and Forebodings at Ishpeming and Negaunee as to What Will Happen. ISHPEMING, MicH., Sept. 1.—Excite- ment and forebodings for the morrow ex- press the feelings of the citizens of this iron-mining town and the neighboring one of Negaunee. A hundred and a half of soldiers are encamped in the vicinity of the Lake Angeline mine, where the steam shovels are to be operated by men who have been brought from Chicago to take the placee of the strikers. The mining companies are determined to begin the movement of their ore after a month’s idleness, and Governor Rich has dispatched six companies of the Fiith Regiment of Infantry to the scene, for the purpose of affording all the protection which the sheriff and the ownersof the great mines may need to keep the peace and resume business. The thousand odd strikers, skilled miners, laborers, trimmers and shovel men, who have been reduced to desperate straits by their idleness and the prospect of seeing other men fill the places, threaten to prevent the operation of the shovels and the situation is alarming. Colonel Lyon of the Fifth Regiment ar- rived here this afternoon with two compa-~ nies of his regiment from Houston, and at once put his men in camp under strict military discipline, expecting serious work for them to-morrow. At a later hour a special train arrived from Ironwood, bearing another company of the Fifth Regiment. From Marquette, Big Rapids and Ludington will come carly to-morrow one company each of the Fifth, making 300 well armed and officered militiamen with orders to protect life and property at all hazards. The strikers have been ip an ugly mood all day, and the arrival of the troops has added to their excitement. They gathered around the ore piles and on the streets when they heard of the arrival of 300 men from Chicago to do the work which they refused to do until their demands were satisfied. They talked threateningly of what they would do if they got at the new men, who had been taken in charge by agents of the Lake Angeline Company on their arrival to-day, and housed and fed under protec~ tion of private guards. The company 1s determined to put these men to work early to-morrow to move the big stock of ore to the lake. The mines of the Lake Angeline, Lake Superior and Cleveland Cliffs companies here have been flooded by the withdrawals of the pumps on account of the strike, and the Buffalo and Jackson mines at Negaunee have been treated in a similar manner, so that no at- tempt will be made to put new miners to work. The stocks of ore on hand will last along time. Three thousand men were originally locked out when the raise in wages was refused, but the number of strikers has dwindled to 1000, the re- mainder having gone to other mines and obtained work. The strike would have ended here but for the the refusal of skilled miners, mostly from Cornwall, to give in, the laborers being anxious to re- turn to work. If work can be successfully resumed at the Lake Angeline mine the other com« panies will start the steam shovels, Plenty of operators for all the shovels have been secured.

Pierce, Chief Consulting Phy- sician to the In- valids’ Hotel and Surgical Insti- tute, of Buffalo, N.Y.,was the first to introduce a Lit- tle Pill to the American people. For_all laxative and cathartic purposes these sugar-coated ‘Pellets’” are superior in a great many ways to all mineral waters, sedlitz powders, salts, castor oil, fruit syrups, laxative teas, and other purgative compounds. Made of concentrated vegetable ingredients, they act in a mild, natural way. Their sec- ondary effect is to keep the liver active and the bowels regular, not to further constipate, as is the case with other pills. They don’t interfere in the least with the diet, habits or occupation, and produce no pain, griping or shock to the system. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure bil- iousness, sick and bilious headache, diz- ziness, costiveness, or constipation, sour stomach, loss of appetite, coated tongue. indigestion, or dyspepsia, windy belch- ings, ‘‘heart-burn,’”’ pain and distress after eating, and kindred derangements of the liver, stomach and bowels. These ““Pellets” are easily dissolved in the stomach and absorbed into the blood, stimulating a flow of bile from the liver, and arousing to activity all the glandu- lar secretions. Thus they act in nalure’s own way. Inproof of their superior ex- cellence, it can be truthfully said, that they are always adopted as a household temedy after the first trial. Put up in glass vials, therefore always fresh and reliable. One little ‘Pellet” is a laxative, two are mildly cathartic. As a ‘‘dinner pill,” to promote digestion, take one each day after dinner. To relieve dis- tress from over-eating, they are une- qualed. They are tiny, sugar-coated granules; any child will readily take them. Once used, always in favor. Accept no substitute said to be “‘just as good.” Yowll find don’t pay. SMALLER THAN USUAL
