Late Saturday might the people t Sand gate, county of Kent, England, were aroused by the rocking of the heueee and loud rumblings under ground. Walls split, ceilings fell, foundations sank and roofs fell. As the Inhabitant fled to the street, they found large rente In the ground and were almost overcome by noxious vapors. Everybody supposed that the town was being shaken by an earthquake, and as the rumbling continued, hundreds fled In a panto to the nearest towns. A few remained behind to remove their furniture from the fulling houses. The reports carried abroad by the fugitives caused the troops In an adjacent camp to hasten to the aid of the people still In Bandgate. Soldiers and citizens worked for two hours In moving the most valuable property from the houses and In erecting tents In the fit Ids about a mile outside the town for the women and eblldren. At the end of that time the rumblings bad ceased and an Investigation wan made In the town by the commander of the troops and several citizens. They found that the ground on w hleh Bandgate stands bad sunk several feet and that a less subsidence had extended throughout the surrounding dlatrlet, affcct-In- g about a square mile. The gas mains had been broken andtheconncetlonof water pipes bad been disturbed so (hat suppl.es of both gas and water had been slopped. Many cottages had been wrecked completely, and the better built houses bad been cracked and thrown out of plumb, so that they could not be occupied with aafety. Nevertheless many of the Inhabitants returned to the town toward morning. Between S and 6 o'clock, however, they were frightened sway by further subsidence of the ground and the recurrence of the rumblings. These phenomena have been repeated several times (luring the (luy, and the lown Is now practically deserted. As far as known no lives bavs been lost. The disaster was caused by a landslide. The town Is built upon a comparatively low clld close to ,he sea. The waves aro believed to have undermined the ellfT, which then settled and slipped toward the water, carrying with It the town. Two hundred houses were destroyed. THE ELECTION IN HAYTI. The bhotgnn Tolley Eletl Candidates. Rr-ei- hlgh-hsnde- t'ae . Daily lead." BIG FIRE IN BOSTON. The Philadelphia Mint Has 110,000,000 Ounces Stored Away, The coffers of the United States mint bold the largest amount of bar silver ever stored In one mint In the United States. The quantity Is 110,0(X),000 ounces, or fully enough, with the usual alloy, to make no less than 150.000.- 000 silver dollars. The vaultage of the mint Is said to be unexcelled in this d treasure holders country, vet the are filled to overflow lug, and the bullion Is being received from the government at the rate of 8,800,000 ounces a month. Besides this amount there are In the separate vaults 110.000.- 000 In coined silver. The seal on tho door has not been broken for two years. All the available storage haring been utilized It has been found necessary to have an other vault constructed for tbs sole purpose of storing the bullion. The new vault Is about ten feet from floor to ceiling, about eight feet wide and thirty-fivfeet long. It was completed on the Hltb and will be filled with the sliver piled clear up to the celling. This new storage place will contain but ounces, and at the rate It Is coming In It will be filled In less than six months. The construction of another of these Immense storage places for the silver Is a necessity If the purobase of sliver continues. This of affairs Is far beyond all precedent In the history of the mint. Previous to 1800 It was a rare event to hare stored within the walls of the mint more than a single million ouifees of the bullion. stccl-wnlle- steel-line- d e con-dltl- The Bankers Itaplilly Coming to tho Bo lief of tho Government. A Washington dispatch of the 11th says: The treasury situation continues to Improve from day to day, and from this time on, the treasury department will be in a position to take more advantageous offers of gold only. y offers of 1100,000 In gold were received from Pittsburg and (100,000 from Peoria. Tbe demand from Chicago for small notes continues and this morning when some bankers In Ohio had offered gold for notes and some delay took place In the transfer, tbe delivery was deferred for a few days and tbe small notes sent to Chicago. Tbe numerous offers of gold from places caused Secretary Carlisle this tnornlng to notify all Interested parties through tbe Associated Press that "gold cola can be received only at tbe offices In exchange fur notes." In other words tbe government will not pay the expense of sending money by express to Individuals. Tbe cities are New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, New Orleans and San Francisco. Treasurer Ncbeckcr received a telegram from the assistant treasurer at New York staling that no gold was exported from New York and the probability was that no more would be taken out next week. s Tbe statement Issued by the treasurer shows the free gold balance fo be $2, 500,000. Acceptances of gold Pave been made, but which do not yet appear In the account, which brings this balsoee up to more than 14,250,000. To-da- to-da- y ten-day- y LAND GRANTS SET ASIDE. Aa - Important Rating of the Coart of land Claims. In the United States Land Court at Santa Fe opinions have been announced In favor of tbe United Slates In the case of the Rio Colorado grant Involving 19,000 acres In Taos county and the San Antonlto grant, said to cover 30,000 acres not far from Albuquerque, In Bernalillo county. These grants were made by Mexican prefects and were subsequently ratified by the then governor of New Mexico. The court holds that prefects hud no authority to make grauts and tbe rstltlcatlou of tbe governor is Insufficient to establish ownership In present claimant. The decision Is Important ss It effects fully a dozen other grants In New Mexico. It Is doubtful If the cases will be appealed to the United State Supreme Court. Settler on these tracts a 111 not, however, lose tbelr Individual borne for they may yet file olalme to the extent of 100 acres each under tbe small bolding feature of the land court act and receive patents provided they bate occupied the land for twenty year. Editor Not Wanted. The Washington To! says: Tbe assertion that editors aro not generally to be recognized Mr. by the new admin lstrallon Is true. Cleveland believe that his predecessor suffered through ths charge of having subsidized the press, and be does not Intend to run the same gauntlet. Tbe decision Is also to be msdo applicable to newspaper men who desire to be postmaster In their towns. Mr. BIsi'll ha had the names of some country editors presented to him In connection with various postolllees, but htu uniformly declined to give any encouragement to the office seeker. He lay down the principle that In small town the uucrauce of the newpaXT over which the postmaster-edito- r preside w 111 he regarded as the views of the sdmlnlstrailoii, while, on the other hand, all praise of Mr. Cleveland's acts will be disIt emanates from the recipcounted ient of official favor.

One of the most destructive fires la the history of Boston, next In magnitude to the famous one of Thanksgiving Day, 1888, and In the same district, broke out shortly after 4 oclock Friday afternoon, ami before It was placed Under control, three hours later, had burned over more than a square, had destroyed a number of the magnificent new buildings recently erected In the territory burned over three and a half years ago, had consumed property valued by g conservative at (4,500,000, and cauel the death of at least four persons besides a number who were Injured. The first alarm at 4:25 was soon followed by a second and then a general alarm. The flames broke out In the toy department of Horace Partridge A Co., who occupied the bulld-lufifth and sixth floors of the seven-storcorner of Essex and Lincoln streets, owned by L. F. Ames. The cause Is at present unknown, but the start Is described by those nearest It as resembling the bursting of a The flames spread with Incredible rapidity, and In a very few moments the entire Interior of tbe building was burning. There were many cmplo.tesof the Partridge company at work at the time, and the other floors of the building were sprinkled with human beings. The usual avenues of escape were at once cut off. and then began a scramble for life wblch sickened beholders. n The Inmates fled to windows and rooms. Some escaped by sliding down telegraph poles, others by Jumping Into blnukcts. Several jumped to the pavement, six or eight stories, and were terribly mangled, and others, how many can not now be told, fell back Into the cauldron of flames, or were overcome by the dense black smoke, which suffocated all abo did not speedily ev cape. Tbe entire Are department of tbe city was speedily on the scene. The departments of Pewervlile, Cambridge, Newton and Brockton arrived later by the train, and aid was requested to he In readiness from utorc distant cities. Fortunately further help was not needed. Vast crowds of people began at once to flock to the scene, and as a mutter of precaution Governor Bussell ordered two companies of mllttury out, and be proceeded to the fire In person. Tbe fire spread rapidly from building to and despite the herolo efbuilding, forts of the entire fire system of Suffolk county It was not controlled until the whole square, hounded by Essex street on the north, Lincoln on the east and Kingston on the west, had been leveled; also one building north of Essex street, extending along Columbia street ; three more on the east side of Lincoln and one corner of the United States Hotel, south of Suffolk street, which contained the emergency hospital. An eye witness said: "I was going down Sumner street Just as the fire started. One steamer bad just arrived In front of the building and the hose was being stretched. I saw men, women and girls trying to get out of the npHw stories. They were excited. 1 shouted to them not to Jump, as the ladders would be there In a minute. But tbry were too frightened. One tnun Jumped from the second story and caught a wire. He hung there until exhausted, then dropped. 1 could not see whether the fall killed him or not. 1 saw another man jump to the telegraph pole. He slid down without Injury. "There was no such thing as getting a ladder up to them, owing to the network of wires, for that Is the worst corner for wires In Boston. We watched the quartette as they bung for a few minutes, while the crowd In tbe street stood In breathless silence Beversl took horse blankets and called to the frenzied crowd at the wludow to drop and they would catch them. A good many did this, and though bruised, the blauket broke the others tse fatal force of tbe fall. One little girl, loo timid to Jump, was saved by a man reaching out fur her on his way A long down the H)Ie. was brought over, and standing on It the firemen reached up as far as they could and taught others In Ihelr arms. When the fire in the Brow building was at Us height a man was seen at the eighth-stora Indow. lie boldly caught hold of a cable and proceeded to cross to the opposite building hand over hand. He had gone but a few feet when It became apparent that be could not last long and, greatly to the relief of the c road, he threw both legs over the half-inc- h cable, which slightly sagged, and slowly snd tediously ntude his way toward the building near by to a bleb the cable rau. A large number of nets, canvases Slid clothes were produced and firemen, vied with each other potlee and In holding them, while other hoarsely shouted to the Imperiled wan to drop, lie reached midway between tbe two buildings, and If be could only hang on a few minutes more he could lie saved.

The legislature, (luring the last ten days of It session, disposed of an enormous amouiit of business. Two weeks ago not a bill had become a law; A large amount of these bills are of local Interest only. Among tho law of general character enacted are the follow- ing: The legislative appropriation bill, which Includes the expenses Incurred by the Populist (Dunsmores), House, $80,000; Worlds Fair bill appropriation, f05,0K), for the Kansas exhibit at Chicago; Senate resolution submitting the suffrage amendment to the constitution to the people; bill prohibiting contracts for the payment of wages In gold; hill appropriating $5,000 for experiments In the destruction of chinch bugs; hill appropriating $10,000 for the preservation of the publio health against an epidemic of cholera; bill compelling corporations, except railroads, to pay their employes weekly; the Australian ballot hill; and a bill appropriating $11,000 for the payment of a bounty on the sugar manufactured within the state, Tbe House passed the Benate legislative appropriation hill, which provides for the payment of the late Dunsmore House emTwenty-thre- e ployee. Republicans voted for the bill with the Populists. The Senate announced that unless the House passed this bill that no further appropriation of any character would be passed, thus threatening to tie up a number of state Institutions. This brought the Republican to time. The Australian ballot bill as amended by the House, passed the Senate.

The Joint committee of the Nebraska nouse Senate and the charge investigating of cruelty and Inhuman ticatmcnt of convict In the state penitentiary has made Its report. It is complete and quite extended. After describing at length the Inhuman manner In which convicts are handcuffed and tied up with a rope twisted around the neck in such a manner that an attempt to lower the arm of the prisoner Is altcnde 1 by the danger of actually choking to death, tbe report asserts not only brutal and inthat punishment human In the extreme, but that It positively dangerous to the lives of the men so punished. The cause of the death of Convict Iowcll, who was found dead lu the dark celt, after being Imprisoned In the hole for more than three days, Is commented upon at length, and tbe conclusion arrived at by the committee Is that there Is no possible doubt hut that he catne to bis death by reason of tho extremely barbarous and execasivo punishment administered to him. The report then recommends that the system of punishment now In vogue at the penitentiary he abolished by law, and that a milder aud more huniHtie system he substituted ty law, fully under the control of the warden. The present system of contract labor at the penitentiary come In for a spirited rebuke and It evils aro forcibly pointed out, Tbe report cites that the convicts soon lose their idea of responsibility to the state and feel that they are mere slaves of a private corporation Interested in getting tbe greatest amount of work possible out of them a long as they are confined In the Institution. The committee will recommend that the present contract ystem be abolished at the earliest possible moment. 1 1 r lloeome Disorderly.

Never In Its so history ha the medical profession been Koch wrought up. The excitement It.over Yesterday experiment were nothing to the New York Recorder proved the certainty of It having discovered a cure for consumption by publishing three column of expert testimony from physicians who during the past six weeks have been aiding its investigation by conducting Independent tests. Every state in the Union is represented from Newr York to California, from Maine to Texas. When Dr. Amlck responded to its offer of con11,000 for the discovery of a cure for sumption the Recorder not only employedtesta corps of physician to select for It twelve Inpatient In all stages of the disease, but of doctors everywhere. vited the Dr. Amlck had readily consented to supply his brother physicians without cost and the newspaper announced It would send them all test medicines; each supposed comparatively few physicians would give their time to demonstrating whether Dr. Amlck had really succeeded where every other scientist had failed. The surprise of both newspaper and doctor when the first mail brought dozens of acceptances from progressive physicians and their discomfiture hen this daily mall Increased from dozens to hundreds can be Imagined. Dr. Amlck gave up, at once, his large practice to devote himself to the task and a week later his equally celebrated brother, Dr. M. L. Amlck, volunteered his assistance but when two weeks ago having at tbelr own exhundred test pense sent out twenty-eigtreatment they found there a ere over four thousand request for the medicine still unattended to, each representing an Impatient physician, Dr. Amick telegraphed The Recorder to withdraw the offer. This embarrassment continued until last Saturday a hen The Recorder announced through Its Influence arrangements had been made to assist Dr. Amlck and for the month of March every physician expressing his desire to test the treatment and every sufferer willing to act a a test patient would positively be supplied with Dr. Amlcka medicines without cost. It Is only necessary, It says, to address Dr. W. R.

Some time ago when the question of the power of the secretary of the treasury to uie of tbe $100,000,000 gold reserve wm any part under consideration, Solicitor General was instructed by tbe attorney gentr.J to look up the matter. Mr. Aldrichs oplnioa In brief is: "First The secretary of the treasury has tbe continuing power to Issue bonds to redeem the legal tenders of 1863 and 1863, and under the act of May 31, 1878, but 1 am of tbe opinion that It is not at all nece- udt: ssary. gists, j i ' "Second There Is no requirement In the redemption of legal tender to be made in gold. As to the policy of using silver I am not prepared to urge this action. It might cause a panic, but It could undoubtedly he done. "Third The secretary of the treasury hu no power to Issue bonds not redeemable In either gold or silver. Tbe law stipulate that they shall be redeemed In coin, which meant either gold or silver now, and did so mean at the time of the passage of tbe law." This opinion while asked and prepared wit not delivered, owing to tho fact that occasion did not demand It. Mr. Aldrich says: "Tbe belief that then la no positive provision of the law requiring that a $100,000,000 reserve shall be kept is, la It Is also true, under my opinion, correct. the law, as I understand It, that all legal tender notes may be redeemed In coin.

Bartholdi's Latest Triumphs to Be Added to tho St. Lout Collection Tho Lnra Ship. St. Louis, Wo., March 11. Bartholdi's great statue of Washington and Jefferson, which has been made for St. Louis, will be exhibited at the World's Fair this summer and brought here in the fall. Since the war, SL Louis has stolen all the fame of Baltimore as a city of monuments. Forest Park has the 6tatues of Frank P. Blair and Edward Bates, Lafayette Park has the statues of Washington and Thomas II. Benton, in Tower Grove Park are the statues of Shakespeare, Columbus and Alexander von Humboldt, in Lyon Fark is a statue of Gen. Lyon and in Benton Park a statue of Frederick Gerthe hero of the Hecker, Down man revolution of 1848. town, at the corner of Twelfth and Olive Street, stands a statue of Gen. Grant, the last one that has been put up in the citv. Several of these statues are of heroic size, and all are made by noted sculptors. There seems no longer any doubt as lo the success of the I.uens Khii enter-prise- , which involves the running of specially constructed steamers from SL Louis to Mexico and other Spanish-America- n points. The patent under which the ships are to be constructed involves the building of a vessel which can ply on the Mississippi even at low water, but which can cross the ocean safely. In many respects it resembles the plan so successful-- adopted in ocean racers of the City of Paris type, and experts are of the opinion that the necessary variations to enable the ship to ply on the river at low water will not impair the efficience. The successful establishment of this line of steam- under the law of 1875."
