What It. ;. Hun's Weekly Krvifn of Trade SaH ,r the Situation. New Yokk, April SX -K. (J. Dun &Co.'s Weekly Itcvievv of Trade says: New or ders for future distribution are still ma terially restricted by uncertainty about the action at Washington, and about the extent and outcome of the labor difficul ties. Most of the recovery realized in business has been made possible by the consent of workers to accept lower wages for n time, and if they insist on a restora tion of wages liefore consumption has re stored prices, many works must stop. The great strike threatened by the bituminous coal miners ami the strikes of the associ ated employes on some railroads make the future less hopeful. Exports of gold had some influence and continuing loss in earnings some. The earnings (or April thus far decrease 13 4 per cent., against 14 1 in February and 13.14 iu March. Demoralization of lake freights already diverts much bulky east bound tonnage from the railroads, though the movement of other merchandise is well sustained.

Ueorje W. lticknell, pastor of the First Vniversalist church of Cambridge, iu a speech made at the dinner of the Koyal Arcanum ex pressed sentiments which have caused much surprise and comment. Mr. B:ck uell likened the memliers of congress to dime museum freaks and added: "If it would only have the effect of breaking up the selfishness of congress and iuducing it to do something for the bete lit of the country, iustcad of looking oat merely for political lives of its members, which is derogatory to the welfare of the nation, I would like to sec them blown up. If it were not for my Christian principles and the loss of life it would cause I should like to see about I'm pounds of dynamite put under the national Capitol and have it blown t-ky high with the half dimo museum it contains. lie said that he stood by every word that he had uttered, lie said he did not lielieve there were more thau half a dozen men in congress capable of coping with the great questions with which they were called upou to deal, and if a lot of high school boys should show such a lack of capacity in a debating club a is shown by the members of congress they would liiit he tolerated.

Athens, April '.3. Knrthqake shocks that lea.n at alxjut 'i:'M o'clock Friday night, have continued with more or Iks frequency since. All Saturday night th Oscillation of the earth was noticeable, and the jieople of this city were in a state of semipanic. Telegraphic communication with many parts of the country is badly interrupted and it is barely possible to get news of the towns that must have been affected by the shocks. In three villages, Malestna, Froskina and Martino, all in the provinco of I,ocris, persons were killed. The mayor of Barymni telegraphs that a heavy shock occurred at Proskiua while vesper services were being held in the pr.rish church. The walls of the church fell, burying all the worshippers in the ruins. Hardy a person in the church escaped without injury. Thirty were taken out dead. Houses werethrowu down i:i other parts of t lie village, and the money loss is great. Some of the villagers are practically ruined. Sixty lead in O.-ie l ittle Village. At Malesina houses tottered and fell ns though bu.'t of cardboard. In this little village sixty persons were killed. In some cases entire families fathers, mothers and children were taken out of the ruins dead. At Martino thirty-nine person were kiiled. Here, as nt. Proskina, the parish church was t tic scene of the greatest num ber of fatalities. In the vicinity of Athens the fatalities were less numerous, but the damage to property is immense. The of lices of tl.e Austrian B'.oyd and other steamship companies were partially de stroyed. The church of St. Eiias, on Cistella Hill, between the Piraeus and Piialcrum, has been racked Ik-youd repair and is tot tering to its fall. The domes, walls nnd mosaics of the famous Byzantine church of Daphne are very seriously injured. Kiiig ieirge to the lU'srue. King George, in the royal vacht. has started lor the maritime districts that have been devastated by the shocks. He was accompanied by tiie minister of the interior ntul other official.-., and together they will decide upon the measures that must be taken to alleviate tiie distress among the people. The government will be compelled to adopt extraordinary meas ures to help the poor iu the districts nf- lected. Meps to this end have already beeu taken and the stale authorities are giving quick responses to the calls that are being made upon them. As this dispatch was being sent from Athens a sharp shock was felt that for a time caused consternation in the telegraph office. f'amhlliig Without Limit.
