Sometime Binco the Council orderei
tho Mayor to procure copies of tho ordi
ntnee* of different cities with a view o
revising an?l amending tlie ordinance
of thin city. lie has applied to the an
thorities of a nuiiiher of cities, Borneo
whom have responded und the copie
are in hi* pulsion. An yet Council In
not rained a committee to take the ma!
ter into consideration anil at prenen
there >8 no sign of doing ho. It is tim
however that our city ordinances wcr
being brought up to noma sort of an oflec
tlve ntandiird, and wo hope to hoo th
matter taken up at an early day.
Especially do wo wish to nee a roviaio
of the gambling ordinance*, which, a
they Htand, requiro a superabundance c
red tape formality to get the process <
arrest in motion. Under our ordinanci
it in almoHt impossible for the Chief <
I'olico to organize a raid on thegauiblir
dens that exist right in the heart of th
city, right on it* mo.xt public thorougl
fared, and ure almost n-i well known I
the police an tho saloons.
Section second of the ordinance <1
gaming provides, "If the Jud^e of th
.Municipal Court Mall, from intormatio
received by him, Hupported by oatlm o
atlirmation, have reason to helieve ths
any person or persona have oflendc
eitlier of the provisions of tli
preceding flection, it shall be his duly t
issue hid warrant for the apprehension <
hiicIi jkthdii or persons, and it sha
thereupon lie the duly of the Sargei
forthwith to arrest such person or pei
Hons and bring him or them before tl
Judge. to bo by him disposed of an requi
ed by thin ordinance, itc."
llow in euch information to bo o'.i
tained iw will even start the above n
tape system in motion? Clearl
in no other way than by the inforruatii
of Home parly who has been in tho dt
and fought the tiger, and nine times 01
ten information will never be ohtaim
from hucIi parties utileH** out of revenj
for the loin of money. Tho profession;
gambler will not give it. On thocontrai
ho will Rtand up and liefore (Sod and tl
court, swear to a lie, and xay that 1
knows nothing about it. Yet the cou
must havo information, supported 1
oath or allirmation, and iro through sue
furmalitii'H an aro almostccrtain to mal
the matter public,?to give ollieial info
ination, wo might nay, to the gamblers th
something irf in the wind and enab
them to Iw on their guard. Again, n
though the dens of theso beasts of pre
may ho an well known to the polico as tl
public halls of the city, and although tl
persons of the gambler* aro a* familii
an that of tho Chief of Police hi nisei
yet not a linger can tho Chief or his de
uties lay upon them or their husinex
unleAH either of themselves or by itiforu
ation they have knowledge supported I
allidavit, aiul in addition thereto tl
warrant of authority. Among the cili
that have responded to the request of tl
Mayor for copies of their ordinal
c?m U the city of Cleveland, an
we liiul that under the gamii

pennHiea are lnllicted for refusing to tt
mit an officer on application to any pi a
kept for any gaming purpose* whatevt
Section 4 of the ordinance say*:
the owner or keeper of, or any pers
I within any gambling tenement or roc
shall refuse to admit the Mayor, a
member ol the City Council,or any me

warrant, all persons found therein, a
such persons found therein shall be tak<
held anil considered to have visited ?a
place for tho purpono of gambling ai
upon conviction nliall Ihj lined or ii
prironed or both."
Here in an ordinance under which t
Chief of Police can organise an effect!
mid, l?ccaune ho i* not obliged to
through a formula that give* every i
portunity for tho gambler* to bo poul
in the movement* ol tho police. Anotl:
valuable fenturo of it J* that it enab
the Chief of lVdico to discover tho traitc
in hia force, who, if any, are in colluui
with the gambler*.This in not possible u
dcr our ordinance, for there are no mai
loophole# through which informal
may escape that it it Impossible for t
thief to lay hia plana and carry them o
*ith the secresy which insures luccec*.
Again, our ordinances aro tcry lame
? in regard to persons renting or allowing
tenement* to Ihi uied for gaming purposes,
inasmuch a* it doca not seem to
r apply to tho owners or lessees of such
,r tenement* unlet* occupied by them,
? whereas the Cleveland ordinance provides
a* follow*:
"Thst if any person or person*, being
the owner or owners, lemma or lessees of
any room, building, arbor, booth, ihtd,
tenement, water craft or float, shall know
that any gaming table, implements or anparatus
tor gambling are kept or used In
such room, building, arbor, booth, shed,
1- tenement, water craft or float, for win*
i, ning or gaining money or other proper*
,f ty, and *ball not forthwith cauio a complaint
to lto mado against the person or
. persons no keeping or using such room,
uuilding, nrbor, booth, shed, tenement,
e water craft or float. such person or perHons
shall tc taken, held and considered
_ to have knowingly permitted the *ame to
j. b? used and occupied for gambling, and
o upon conviction thereof shall bo fined or
imprisoned, or both."
Under this section it matters not whether
such owner occupies any portion of
' the property himself or not. It may bo
*aid tint the owner cannot know that
y the tenement or room is occupied a* a
gambling establishment. We say-that he
II ??
van, aim wucu any pariy or paruea nate
been indicted for keening a gaming establirthmcnt,
if wo had tho proper ordiil
nance, ho (the owner) could and would
- bo indicted for knowingly allowing hii
f premixcs to bo uied. for auch purposes,
x if ho?ha?l failed to take th^ proper itepn
to prevent auch one of the^property.
f If we had *a thorough gaming ordirt
nance, and the police did their dutr. the
* gambling liolls in the heart of this citj,
1- bo thinly veiled from tbo public oye,
t would noon Iks removed to obncuro quar*

e in our gambling ordinance, and it ia time
the City Council should give it attontion.

Cave. Wo took tho short route tirst,? lfl
knowing it wan a matter of little consc- j1

linantcr ami destruction caused by the f
arthquake and tidal wave on the South 1
'acitic coast on the 9th of May. The >
owns ol Arica.Iquiqui, Pant* I>e Labos, (
labellon De Pica, Cnanayotia, Haunallaa
ml Autofagasta were nearly all deatroyd.
About 000 lives were loit. The de- j
truction of property in estimated at c
20,000,000, confined mostly to the coast. a
lthough the town of Iarapaca, twenty- t
hreo leagues inland, and the villages of t
'icamatilla and Canchanez, far in the in- ]
erior, were moro or less ruined. The c
hipping of guano from the southern detosits
will Ik) indefinitelyBuspened, as all
he facilities in the way of launchos,
hutes, wharves, water condensers and j
uildings of all kinds have l*en swept
way. The destruction and dumage to .
hipping has been very great, and was atended
by great loss of life. .
At Mollendoc a rail war train was
hrown up by the sea three hundred feet, ^
nd at llo the railroad was also injured. *
ItArica the people were preparing torn- ,
torary fortifications to repel the assault

ires, cars and rails were hurled about by
ho nea like ho many playthings, and left T
n a tumbled mass of rubbish. Tho
Jnited States steamer Wateree, stranded
n 1S68, wah lifted bodily and floated two
nilen north of her old position. The
able buoy was moved a quarter of a
nilo northward. Merchandise from tho j
ustoni houso and stores wero carried <1
ivo utiles distant. Tho damage dono was
;reater than that of the calamity of 1868.
the earthquake has levelled the custom
louse, railway station, sub-marino cable
flice, National hotel, the British consulate,
steamer agency and many private ^
loufles. The people passed tho night on >
he hills. Thieves began to rob when the ?
roops fired on them, killing and woundng
several. J
louiqui is built of wood and cane,and u
uinbled down at the first onset. The
amps were broken and oil spread
iver tho debris, which started a general ,
onfiagration. Three companies of lirenen
were instantly at their posts, al- /
hough it was difficult to maintain an
iprightpOHition, shock after shock folowing
with dreadful regularity. To

raves rushed in, the engine* were car- v

truction were busy at one time?the
ire, the water and the earthquake. The J
itlrighted j>eople left the city to it* fate, '
lying to neighboring eminences The 0
iro destroyed a largo portion of the town, 1
ho earthquake levelled nearly all the ?
est and the water covers the ruins, ''
rhich it took out in itn reflux. The "
rater cotidensers along the Hhore are all }
uined. "
Nearly 400,000 quintain of nitrate at
quiquo and adjacent ports of Molle and 1
'isaqua were destroyed. A email loss of
ife look place, probably ten persona in
ill. Coasting crafts and small boats in
he harbor were broken in pieces, as in 1
^rica. Robbery of goods lving in the t
treeta was attempted, but the guard of c
itizens took such severe measures that t
he robbers were speedily checked. fi
Away upon Jthe pampas eleven uiiles n
rom Iquique, tho splendid nitrate estab- i
ishineut of La Nueva Carolina was com- i
iletely destroyed. The sufferings of the c
>oople of Iquique were intense. The
ibsence of water and the destruction of
he principal stores added to their hardhips.
It is'estimated that the damage
lone in Iquique will amount to nearly
1,000,000 Haiti.
Chanavaha, a little town at Qtiano, a
oading deposit known as Pabellou de
Pica, with forty houses, has only
wo standing. Here the earthquake
wan followed by fire. There were
10 tire engines in the town, and tho sea
same in and extinguished the llaincs, hut
is it retired it carried ofl'all the rernainler
of the place. In one of the guano
mttings thirty laborers were buried by
he falling earth. The town of Tarapaco,
ind the villages of Pica, Matilla and
Danchose are more or less ruined. The
ops of life is reported not being great.
The earthquake was especially nevere
it Chanavaha. Tho earth opened and
,ho whole surface of ground was
:hanged. At least 200 people were
tilled, and the bodies were floating in the
jay. fjAt Huanatilosanotherguano loading
station; the damage done was fearful.
Ml the houses were destroyed. The
;unno cuts having fallen in, and as at
Paballon,all the loading must he suspended
for at least two months. The
wave which succceded the earthquake
ind completed tho work of destruction
sras nearly 60 feet in height. Many vesiels
wero lost here, together with several
jf those on board. Jn short, everything
;xcept a few huts at the back of the town
lias been destroyed.
At Mexilton the tidal wave was 65 feet
liigh, and two-thirds of the town completely
destroyed. Boats, railroad stations,
locomotives, cars and furniture
were all swallowed up and six persona
Jrowned.
ai loacopma iiiue or nothing remains
if the town. The mine called Lapena
Blanca, four miles southward, punk in,
imothering 200 workmen, of whom fortj
rrero Cornish miners. Cobija, the principal
town on the Bolivian coast, ha* lost
three*fourths of its houses. The wave,
Lhirty-tive feet bight, swept along the
main business street and left it as level
us a desert. The wharves and launches
were all carried out to sea. As noon as ,
[his lamentable intelligence reached Lima 3
the government chartered a steamer, or- i
panned a relief commission. and loaded I
ihe vessel with provisioos, clothing, etc.,
together with 50,000 gallons of water, and
hupatched her on tho 10th for the south.
Dne hundred thousand nates in ailrer coin
&lso formed part of her cargo. A company
of engineer* accompanied the expedition.
It had been urged on the gov- ]
ernment to recommend the rebuilding of ]
tho ruined towns on now sites which .
ruav offer greater protection and security,
ami more remote from the shore, since
