Women Shrieking:, Children Bawling: and Men Both Braying: and Swearing. So Casualties, but the Greatest Scare and Scenes of Confusion Witnessed for Many Days. New York, August 10. — About 2:05 o'clock this afternoon residents of this vi cinity were startled by a severe shock of earthquake lasting about ten seconds. At this hour (6 p. m.) the particulars received at the Wester Union ollice here show the shock was widespread. The first reports were received from the following points: The Atlantic Highlands, near Sandy Hook, Long Branch, Philadelphia, New Haven, Boston, Elizabeth, Plainfleld, Spring Lake, Cottage City, Martha's Vineyard, and Port land, Maine. At the last point it was slight. Reports were also received from many of the sub-offices about New York. Reports as toils duration are diverse, but tin- average seems to be about ten seconds. The operator at Providence was vaguely questioned as to whether he had heard or seen anything unusual, and he promptly re plied he had had his hand on the steam pipe ami that it had trembled violently. He had been looking up and down tiie street to dis cover the heavy team, which up to the time of inquiry he supposed was passing. The question made him suspicious of an earth quake. This suspicion was promptly confirmed by various people rushing into the street and Bflßce, asking for an explanation. At 2:15 O'clock the Atlantic Highlands experienced l second shock but less violent than the ii-.-t. The scaffolding on some new buildings goim; up on the corner of Sixth and Reed streets, was shaken violently, aud some bricks on the boards were shaken off and fell to the street below. The severest shock was reported from Seabright, N. V., where the depot was .shifted to one side, shaking up tlii' content:, and alarming the sole inmate. At 2:30 p. in. an Ineffectual effort was made to raise the Long Branch office, which n in communication with the local office iiji to the time of the shock. The oper ator just had time to report the shock, to gether with the fact that tlie jars of his bat tery had been overturned, when the wire gave out. AT HAiniDlil). A bareheaded man rushed frantically to the telegraph office, holding in his hands a newspaper which he had been readimr- lie Raid he had been racked violently, anil that plastering on the celling above him hail been cracked and in some places had dropped to the floor. IN BROOKLYN. The streets wire alive with people who had come nut to ascertain tin- cause of the rack ing, and tn gossip about it. One cool headed observer upon tin; Bret preceptible motion, took out his stop watch ami timed the vibra tions, lie reported that the shock began, is nearly as could be determined, at 2:00.50, that the first shock lasted just ten seconds, am! that "quieting down," as he h icribed it, tool; nearly fifty seconds more — oil baud guesses as to the duration varied from live seconds to two minutes, according to the amount of the observer's fright and his judgment of the flight of time. AT MENLO PARK ami Tien ton the shock was ti in ed at 2:05, while it the more southerly points of its orbit it was fell at 2:10. Exaggerated reports come lv from various points. I i Trenton it was reported the water in tin- river wras lashed into foam. A pass enger arriving from Trenton soon after, however, said the story was absurd aud that the water was as placid *nd muidy as usual. AT CONST ISLAND. The telegraph manager at Coney Island promptly ;;sk"d for particulars of the ex plosion supposing some oil refinery, powder mill or dynamite factory had blown up. A few minutes later, however, the fact became knowu there that the whole island had been thoroughly shaken by vibration anil that the guest and visitors were very greatly alarmed, the fright in some cases amounting to a panic. Neither (ape May nor Atlantic City noticed and uuusual motion, and so far as the early reports indicate Philadelphia was the southern limit of the shock. at ci.i:\ v. »\ i> tlie shock was plainly hut slightly felt. In the main local telegraph office the hundred people present felt a serious movement of their Boor in the seventh story, but there was no electrical phenomenoL with it, and no electrical disturbance. [he first impression which seemed to take possession of the inmates ot the houses in \ v fork, was that the building was about t<> fall, a_d the people ran into the streets only to discover their neighbors rush ing out, amazed like themselves. Then as there were no evidences of a catastrophe the people returned to their homes, realizing th re had been an earthquake. As a rule the people n rnatned in trout of their houses a few minutes, apparently trying to get at tome solution ot their (ears, and watching the facesand manner of others. The women and children, a- they regained some decree ot confidence, returned to tlie houses. Tlie men remained in groups on the streets d;.- cu-sing the occurrence so unexpected aad so startling. An earthquake is a thing so un locked forln this part of the world that the cause and history of the most terrible oues became a topic of paramount interest. Above all the people were eonnenied in try ing to find out from those they talked with, whether a second and perhaps subsequent ibocks were likely to follow. At the observ . the United Stakes signal service, the time of the earthquake and its duration were Assistant Observers h. F. Hilman and Morring were at the time in the office about .00 feet above the line of the street. The first imitation of the earthquake was a slo~ rumbling sound, like the muttering* of Itstant thunder, and was l_med_Se~~ fol lowed by a shock like that of a violent cx- Which caused the buildings quiver, although it did not shake percepti bly. The rattling i> ntinued about eight seconds, accompanied by a rumbling sound which gradually died away. The first shock Mas fell about eleven minutes past two. The effect of the jar was much more perceptible Ms of iight structure, in many in stances it being reported that a clearly de king movement was felt, and dishes in the pantry were shaken from the shelves. Thus far. however, no damage of any kiud is r rted. While - — was felt strongly in Swellings, persona traveling on the elevated roads did not know of the occurrence until they were told of it by in at the stations and that the shock felt ou elevated station gilt compared with that felt on the ground t> km As far as can be ascertained the shock was entirely impsjrceptible on the waters. AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS. Immediately after the shock had been felt at the police central office, considerable con fiuAm was occasioned, and the impression at iir*t urevailed that a violent explosion had occurred in the neighborhood. A little in vestigation, however, led Acting Superin tendent Sanders to the conclusion that the cause of the disturbance was a real earthquake. He at once sent out a general dispatch to all precincts, asking for infor mation regarding the shock in the city. Answers soon began to pour in, the operators were kept busy for two hours writing out reports from different captains. It appears the shook was felt with about the same intensity all over the city, although it produced more alarm in thickly settled tene ment districts on the east side. A telegram from the Yonkers police said the shock had been felt there also. THE GREATEST EXCITEMENT Prevailed ln the Jewish and Bohemian quar ters on the east side. The houses, which are mostly high and lightly constructed tene ments, were violently shaken, and the ter rified inmates rushed out into the street carrying with them what ever of their household effects they could move. Children screaming with fright were borne out by their parents, who were hardly less panic stricken, and while the population was was soon massed in the center of Ludlow street, between Hester and Canal, the panic was at its height. The k streets were swarming with people. Men, women and children were huddled together, evidently thinking the last hour had arrived, and expecting every moment to see the walls of their dwellings fall upon them. Women were shrieking aud children bawling, while the men were either swearing or praying. This was kept up for nearly half an hour, when the commotion finally sub sided and the police pursuaded the people to return to their houses. Similar scenes were witnessed in Mulberry, Jersey and Mott streets, where the Italians have their colo nies. The fright, however, was not so in tense, and after a little thier loud shouts and wild gesticulations, ceased. A few minutes after the shock a gray-haired man rushed into the Madison street police station and shouted that several houses in Monroe street had tumbled down. Ambulances were called and a reserve force sent out by the sargeant. On arriving at the place indicated, they found the street in front of a large tenement was crowded with an excited throng of people, but there was no indication of any accident. The panic was caused by an excited man, who rushed out into the streets shouting, "The house is falling!" Many other instances of a similar character were reported in the ten ement house district, but as far as can be ascertained no damage was anywhere done. In many houses DOOR BELLS -WERE SET JINGLING by the shock. Its cause was the matter of much speculation, especially among the more ignorant classes, and it was a long time before many understood the real na ture of the occurrence. CEXTHAL PARK. The shock was more severe than in sur rounding region. There were large crowds on the mall who were thrown into a state of violent excitement by the strange rumbling in the ground, which was distinctly heard. The animals in the menagerie were fright ened by the shock and many of them were seen to tremble as if iv fear, while they re mained perfectly still for some time after it occurred. Operator Hoffman, at the arsenal, was thrown from his chair, but was not hurt. The globes of the lamps in his office were cracked. The ceilings of the tenth precinct station house were badly cracked, and a frame Douse, No. 137 Lewis street, was cracked iv several places, and one of the women who lived in the house became un conscious from fright. A street ear in avenue B was lifted from the track several times, and several houses are reported thrown down. At the drug store, 90th street and Tenth avenue, several bottles were thrown from the shelves. Po licemen on the BROOKLYN" lUUDGH Report the shock was distinctly felt there, ami the great towers at either end oscilatcd visibly, while the bridge itslf rocked. The shock of the earthquake was felt generally along the river front, and the piers were shaken as if by heavily loaded trucks passing over them. At the iron steamboat pier, a structure of soiid masonry, the motion was so violent the ticket takers rushed from their offices to ascertain the cause. AT CONEY ISLAND. Late this afternoon boats brought back crowds from Coney Island. There the shock seemed to be much more violent than in the city. The piazzas and the dining rooms of the great hotels were well filled when the rumbling noise was heard, followed by a roc km? of the ground, which made the win dows rattle and shook dishes aud wine glasses from the tables. There was a general rush for the open air, and for some time great excitement prevailed. At the new pier there was a similar shock, aDd even the chairs rattled about. There was a gen eral rush toward the main entrance, the peo ple being under the impression that the structure was giving way. As the shocks did not recur the apprehensions ou this score were soou allayed. IK BROOKLYN. The earthquake was felt very generally throughout the city. Along the river front aud iv the eastern district the shock appears to have been heavier and of longer duration. Everywhere people abandoned their houses some in terror, others to learn of the calam ity that had befallen their neighbors. At Greenpoint the people started upon a ruu for the immense oil works on the shore of New town creek, thinkiug an explosion had oc curred there, while the fire companies har nessed their horses to respond to an alarm which they thought was soou to follow. The sensation experienced on board receiving ship Vermont, of the Brooklyu navy, yard was similar to those felt when broad sides are discharged from the ship at some distance. according to the story of one sailor. There was a distinctly felt jar, noticed by all ou board. Persons traveling in the street cars felt the vibration, and in many instances the wheels of the car seemed to leave the track, producing the same effect as when they pass over a loose switch. Tlie bell of the Presbyterian church in Greenpoiut swayed back and forth and rang several times loud enough to be heard by all the people living in the neighborhood. Among other evidences of the violence of the agitation in Brooklyn may be mentioned lhe stopping of eliK-ks, throwing down of a high pile of brick, swinging of lamps and pictures, and the like. Many Sunday schools were in session at the time, and the teachers had in some instances great difficulty in al laying the terror of the children and prevent ing a panic. From the rgports received at Long Island it appears the earthquake visited that region in greater severity than the city. Along the Atlantic coast of Long Island the sbix-k was very violent, and the vibrations mcd to increase in power as they traveled eastward. In Jamaica the vibrations lasted ten seconds, and the chimneys on several house? toppled over. No serious damage, however, is reported from any place. In Long Island City, Flushing. White Stone and College Point the trembling of ground was distiuetly felt, and shaking of houses perceptibly. Two hundred and fifty guests at Long Beach hotel ran from the dining rix>r.i to the beach and refused to return to the building for some time, fearing a recur rence of the shock. The amount of alarm by the earthquake everywhere was simply astounding, and was the then e of discourse far into the night. Preachers in many churches discoursed upon the subject. People prayed who never prayed before, and those who may have prayed before oniy prayed the more. Pious Orthotic women took their beads aud recited a "pate and aye,'" while the men of the faith made the sign of the cross. Everybody confessed being possessed of a very peculiar feeling during and immediately after the shock, and few there were who envied the position of i the occupants of ten story fiats. There t were many thanksgivings at Vesper services ST. PAUL, MINN., MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 11,1884.. that the present visitation was not more se rious, and prayers were offered that a recur rence of the earthquake may not be attended by a more serious disaster. The reports from many parts of this state, Connecticut, New Jersy aiid Pennsylvania, show the shock was felt about as in this city, and was attended with no more grave dam age than trembling of chimneys or rattling of dishes. Some women at different points are said to have fainted, but no one as far as known, died of fright. AT PHILADELPHIA. A special to the Press from Macunzie says : A shock of earthquake was felt here this af ternoon. The German Reformed church building, in which services were going on, was shaken and rocked. A panic ensued and the congregation fled precipitately. After .the shock services were resumed, although the congregation was much frightened. AT BALTIMOHE. Residents on the hills and highlands sur rounding the city report that a slight shock of earthquake was felt shortly after 2 o'clock to-day, though in the city not perceptible. Telegrams from Roekville, Montgomery county, and Manchester, Frederick county, report a slight shock felt. AT WASHINGTON. The signal office reports no earthquake disturbance here, nor in Baltimore. The vi bration was very perceptible at Atlantic City, New Jersey, and was also observable at the Delaware breakwater, but to a less degree. The signal station at the latter place is ou the breakwater some distance from the shore. AT PITTSBURG. Pittsburg, Aug. 10. — As far as heard from, the. earthquake shock reported from the east this afternoon was not felt in west ern Pennsylvania. LATER FROM PHILADELPHIA. Pittsburg, August 10. — For the first time since January 8, 1817, a very perceptible shock of earthquake was felt in Philadelphia, at four minutes alter two this afternoon. It was of about ten min utes duration, and apparently extended from the northern to the southwest, increasing in intensity with each succeeding second, and subsiding gradually. The strongest build ings in the city were shaken, rickety chimneys toppled over on roofs, and bricks tumbled down upon the pavements in all parts of the city. The plaster fell from the ceilings of houses, chinaware rattled in closets, door bells began ringing, glasses clinked lively upon sideboards, and clocks were set running down. In some instances people were prostrated upon the floors of their dwellings. Nervous people were fright ened to such an extent that many thought the destruction of the world was at hand. Everywhere the populace became excited. Every house in the city was affected more or less, their occupants running into the street, thinking a terrible explosion had taken place. A few moments later three-fourths of the entire population were in the streets. Every where men, women and children congregated upon the sidewalks and street corners and eagerly discussed the affair. This was more noticeable in the thickly populated districts of Kiusington and Southwork. Gradually the impression that an earthquake had occurred grow upon the citizens, aud each inquired "of hi 6 neighbor if he had felt the shock. Many timid people were scared. They hesitated to reenter their houses, and did not do bo until assured by stronger miuded neighbors that a repetition of the remarkable event was unlikely. In a short time after the ac curance, people flocked from all parts of the city to Chestnut street, and there gathered around thejdifferent newspaper and telegraph offices, etc., to ascertain news from other parts of the city and surrounding places. Shipping was likewise affected by the shock. Large ships loading petroleum iv the Schuylkill river snapped their hawsers and were only prevented going ashore by the united efforts of their crews. Several large steamers were thrown strongly against the wearves in the lower section of the city and their crews thrown out of their bunks. Huge waves, backed up by the rising tide overflowed many wharves and considerable property was flooded thereby. Several instances where persons were watch ing the river from the docks they found themselves suddenly overtaken by huge waves and were thoroughly soaked. Deeply laden steamers lying in the Delaware trem bled without apparent Injury during the ex istence of the shock. AT CHICAGO. Chicago, Aug. 10 — The earthquake 6hock which occurred in the east to-day was not felt here or in this vicinity, and up to mid night the associated press had received no advices of any disturbance. It is not be , licved that it was felt at any point in the I west. A Destructive Fire. Catlettsbukg, Ky., Aug. 10. — This town was visited at 2 o'clock this morning by a destructive fire, resulting in quite a calamity, from a falling wall, catching a number of men. Bob Miller wns taken out alive, but died immediately. John Graham died after his rescue. David Kinner's feet were burned off, and he was dead when found. Jas. Mc- Kinzie, ?am Kelly, Jno. Berger and Chas. Haler were rescued in a precarious condition. Others were thought to be buried unde r the ruins. Loss to property: Patten 8r06., drugs, $3,000; Insurance, $1,500; Weelraan & Priehard, grocers, stock $50,000, insurance $2,000; C. Priehard, brick building, $4,000, insurance $2,000; N. P. Andrews, dry goods stock, $7,000, insurance $5,000; N*. P. Andrews, building $3,500, insurance $3,000; D. H. Carpenter, clothing stock, $10,000, insurance $10,000; C. A. Welman, office'ssoo, no in surance; Vinson. Gable „ Priehard, $500, no insurance. Total loss $76,000, insurance $44,000. A Colorado Prize Fig-ht. Denver, Col., Aug. 10. — An excursion train this morning carried several hundred people twenty miles south of Denver, where a prize fight between Join P. Clow, of Den ver, and George A. Morrisson, of Leadville, took place for the championship of Colorado. Both men were badly used up. At the end of the sixth round one of the spectators reach ed over the rope and struck Clow. This started a general rough and tumble fight,, thirty or forty men participating. The sheriff had disarmed the crowd before leaving the train, which probably prevented a terrible fight. The sheriff and posse succeeded in dragging th* combatants apan before any serious injury wa£ done, meantime the ref eree called time and decided in favor of Clow. Narrowly Escaped Foundering. Milwaukee. Aug. 10. — The three masted schooner, H. W. Sage, the largest on the lakes, narrowly escaped foundering off Point Betsey, Lake Michigan, last Saturday. She sprung a leak in Thursday's gale, having opened up where she was damaged by going ashore last season, and the crew manned the pumps in vain. The steam barge Chaun cey Hurlburt answered her signal of distress, towed her here, and she went on to Chicago with new men at the pumps, and one of her sails over the leak. Gas Well Purchases. PiTTSBrRG, July 10. — George Westing house, representing the Philadelphia Natural Gas company, yesterday purchased a lease to hold four-fifths of all the natural gas territory in western Pennsylvania. The sale includes the Butler and Tareantnm fields, and five farms in the vicinity of Homewood, this city. The purchase was made from and through J- M. Guffey, and aggregate an area of 17,000 acres. Terms of sale withheld. A stump orator exclaimed, "I know no north, no south, no east, no west, fellow citizens.'* "Then.*" exclaimed the crowd, "its time you went to school andlarn jogra phjs" BEN BUTLER'S BRASS. He Gives Massachusetts Democrats no Credit for His Election as Governor. [Special Telegram to the Globe.] Boston, Aug. 10. — Gen. Butler was inter viewed to-day about his impressions of last night's Democratic rallies and his relations with the state and national Democratic or ganizations. He used a free lauce in his most audacious style. "1 still live," he said, "notwithstanding the meetings last night, where the vice presidents who did not attend crowded the people out." "Did you attend?" "Oh, no, my name was not permitted to be mentioned there by any speaker, because, 1 suppase, that the people, having been ac customed to cheering it, would have kept on. If the name is such a terror, what woull have been the effect if I had happened to te there? But lam much pleased that the only man who did mention it was a soldier who swung his crutch — better in his mouth than than in the mouth of somebody who sent a substitute to the war. How history repeats itself. In the old days of English rule in Ireland it was a felony, without the benefit of clergy, for any person in the night time to shout 'Butler aboo' (Butler forever.) If those who controlled the meetings last night ever come into power, I will tell them where they can find that old statute, so as to re enact it that they may not. be troubled any more with the old soldier and his crutch." "Were you at the conference the other day?" "Oh, no, that was a conference of the rep resentatives of the 'fifty-two' men who bojted my candidature last fall. Knowing that I was not to be there they for the first time ventured out in force. I saw they com plained that I had deserted the Democratic party. There is no way of satisfying them. The last time they complained it was that I had captured the Democratic organization. Be it so, I have only let my captives loose. They seemed to think I owed a debt of gratitude in some way to the Democratic organization. How could that be when they accused me of committing - burglary to capture it? Seriously, I owe a great debt of gratitude to the people of Massachusetts, but none to any Democratic organizatiou, state or national. I bolted from the Republican party and ran against it in 1878, and got 109,000 votes. I ran against the Republican party with the aid of the regular Democratic organization in 1879 and got 200 votes less. I paid my own bills and none of that '52' subscribed enough to pay for printing their ballots as bolters. I advocated Hancock in 1880. I paid my own bills again and received noth ing, and then they got 112,000 votes. In 1881 I LET THEM SEVEBELT ALONE And went off yachting, and the same candi date for governor who got 112,000 votes the year before got only 54,000. I ran in 1882, elected four congressman for them, paid my own bills, cleaned my own coat which was spattered from their own organ, the Post, and gave them the only success they had in a quarter of a century, and ln no campaign did I ever receive any aid from the Demo cratic national organization, nor did any national Democrat from outside the state ever come here to say a word in my favor, nor in favor of the Democratic party, which I was the unanimous -nominee. The Re publicans in 1883 brought their best speak ers and heaviest men (including their pres ent candidate for the presidency) into the field, and succeeded in beating me, but not the Democratic party, which cut no fig urc in the contest outside the city of Boston, and there the figures have not been exactly known, but the figures by which it was done are un known." "You are not goiug to be a Democrat any more?" ''Oh, I was always & Democrat. When ever I have any use for the organization of the Massachusets Democracy I will get it and if the 'fifty-two' don't behave them selves pretty well while they are going it alone I wont take them back." CHAIRMAN BARNUM QUIZZED, He Asserts That New York Will Give Its Vote to tlie Democratic Candidate. I Special Telegram to the Globe.] Chicago, Aug. 10. — Chairman Barnum, of the national Democratic committee, accom panied by F. E. Conda, treasurer of the same body, appeared in Chicago yesterday. They stopped at the Palmer house and at once be gan to receive callers. Mr. Barnum said that he saw no reason why the Democrats shouid be discouraged in the coming cam paign. '•But how about New York?" asked the reporter. "New York can taks care of itself; there are plenty of Democratic voters there, and they will all turn out for Cleveland." "How does the Butler movement affect you?" "If at all it helps us. The Republicans have been telling us about the great number of Democratic voters that were going to de sert Cleveland this fall. If there is. any truth in these assrtions these votes will go to Butler rather than to Blaine — where they said they were going — so I do not see as his candidature hurts us in any degree. The votes which we will get from them will not stop at Butler, so that one of them is worth two of the others. It is a mere math ematical proposition, and if the claims of the Republicans are correct, Cleveland must carry the state." "Have you money enough for the cam paign?" "We have not been complaining on that score." "Then you feel confident of carrying the election ?" "I know of no reason why we should not be." Mr. Barnnm gave as the reason for his presence in Chicago now, that he had cer tain business interests here that needed looking after. Funeral of Serjeant Linn. Phtladelphla, Aug. 10. — The funeral of Sergeant David Linn, of the Second United States cavalry, and a member of the Greely arctic exploration expedition, took place this afternoon from the residence of his mother. After the services in the house the body was taken to Mount Moriah cemetery, where the interment took place. The services at the cemetery comprised simply a prayer and military salute. Many persons accompanied the body to the cemetery. Death of Chas. Tilden. Locisv TLLE, Ky., Aug. 10. — Mr. Chas. Tilden, one of the oldest and most promi nent citizens of Louisville, president of the Bank of LouisTiile, and president of the board of managers of the Masonic widows and orphans home, died suddenly at 11 :20 o'clock last night from neuralgia of the stomach at his residence just out of the city. Mr. Tilden was at the bank yesterday and seemed well In the afternoon he drove to his home on the Beardstown road near the city, sad continued apparently well until a few minutes before 11 o'clock, when he was attacked by violent pains, and dying before the physician reached him. Mr. Tilden had held many high posi tions in the Masonic fraternity, and was at one time grand master of the state. In ad dition to his other business connections, he was the treasurer of the Ohio Valley Cement company. Deceased was born in Kent county, Maryland, in November, 1810. He came to Louisville when a very young man and began his career as a bookkeeper. SOUTHERN EXPOSITION, Some of the Leading: Features of this Great Entertainment. Louisville, Ky., Aug. 10. — One of the new features of the southern exposition at Louisville, Ky., will be a grand competitive military drill to take place .August 26, 27 and 28. A level space, around which is a circle of seats capable of seating 15,000 persons, has been especially prepared for the drills. It is known that a half dozen of the crack companies or America will participate, and the localities, merit and friendly rivalry will lend unusual interest to the , occasion. The first prize is 83,000, second $1,000, third $500; certainly sums worth contending for. The entire state guard of Kentucky will go into encampment in honor of these great drills, and it is estimated that fully 100,000 persons will witness them. And the new feature is the introduction of European fireworks furnished exclusively for the southern exposition by James Paine, of London, the recognized peer of all other manufacturers of fire works. The conclud ing device of the fire works display on the night of August 21st, will be the Arc de Triomphe, and Bois de Boulogne, (one hun dred aud fifty feet in length), as exhibited during the fetes of the Em peror, and is said to be the most successful device ever displayed in Europe. The. famous device of the sacred white elephant will be produced on the same night on a grand scale. The large beast will walk with natural and life like move ments across the grounds Among the de vices already in preparation are colossal fire portraits (size 50x30 feet) of the presidential candidates. Politics of the Prince of Wales, London, July 10. — An inspired article has appeared in Loyds Weekly, the chief organ of the working classes, on the politics of the Prince of Wales. The writer says the Prince of Wales has no belief in the policy of ef facement of the empire, and will not shrink, when necessary, from the assertion or ex tension of the imperial responsibilities, though opposed toaggresion. He is therefore drawn to the radicals, who have broken from the traditions of the Manchester peace party. The article further asserts that the heir ap parent to the throne of England is a free trader iv principle, and regrets the existence of the protection policy in other countries on the ground that a hostile tariff will beget other forms of international hostility. He considers that many of the ideas and plans now identified with socialism, are thoroughly practical, Christian and constitutional. Respecting the forms of gov ernment, he accepts the pope's dictum, that what is best administered is the best consti tutional monarchy, and is the most econom ical form of government, because it keeps a check upon individual ambition, extrava gance and jobbery. The Republican idea in the abstract is very fascinating, in practice, delusive aDd costly through waste, and unstable, especially in its foreigu policy, which should be permeated by a fixed prin ciple, common to all parties of state. The prince believes the English monarchy will endure, because it is the nucleus of a real republic, and having what other republics need, the centre of gravity apart from all yet allied to all. These Are "Protected" Industries. Pittsbuho, Aug. 10. — A circular from G. H. Hall & Co., Louisville, asking pig iron men to join in a movement to bank up all furnaces of the country for four weeks, in order, if possible, to increase the price by restriction of production, received here. The conditions on which the plan of banking the furnaces will be carried into effect are that unless two-thirds of those now in the blast agree to it, and those out agree to re main out, the plan is not to be enforced. The dates fixed for the shut down are be tween September first and November first. The project meets with favor with many fur nace men of this city. The steamer Jack Gumbert, chartered by the striking coal miners of the first, second and third polls, starts from Elizabeth to morrow for the fourth pool. Several hundred miners, with provisions to last a week, will accompany the boat and endeavor to per suade the working miners to come out for the district price. How Ke Lum? Was Captured. London, Aug. 10. — Later details of the capture of Ke Lung by the French say the town was given up without a blow. Directly the cannon from Admiral Lesper's flagship gave the signal the men landed from the various ships and the town was taken posses sion of in the name of France. The authori ties of the town and majority of the popula lion fled. Four thousand Chinese troops, recently arrived from Shanghai, retired into the interior. The British vise counsel went on board an English gunboat, having previously sent a protest to Admiral Lespers against the French occupation, and pointing out that Ke Lung was protected under a treaty with England. The French upon landing seized many junks and embargoed several steamers hailing from Shanghai, on the ground that their papers were irregular. Admiral Lespers has issued a proclamation to the inhabitants declaring their lives and property safe under the French flag. Ad miral Corbet will attack Foo Chow Tuesday next, unless the French indemnity proposals are accepted.

What has a proud man to do with the clothing business? Generally very littie, as proud men, as a rule, are too conceited to patronize a clothing store, but pay exorbitant prices for "made-to order goods," when if they were less blind to their own interest they would do as the largest portion of the best-dressed men in St. Paul are doing, viz., patronize '-THE BOSTON." • Our "Red Figure Sale" is, as usual, a success, our many bargains attracting hosts of customers. It looks now as though we should not have to pack away a summer suit. This is just what wa want, and is the sole reason for our "Red Figure Sale," to clear out our summer stock, if low prices will do it. BOSTON "ONE-PRICE" CLOTHING BOUSE, Cor.
