SHOCKS IN THE EAST.
An Earthquake Felt in
Four Different
States.
LASTED SOME SECONDS.
Residents of Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Delaware and
New York Alarmed.
AROUSED FROM THEIR SLEEP.
The Vibrations Accompanied by
Terrific Rumbling, but the Dam
age Was Slight.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. I.— A dis
tinctly perceptible earthquake shock was
felt here this morning about 6 o'clock.
The vibration did not last longer than a
second or so, but it was severe enough to
awaken people from sleep and to shake
ornaments hanging on walls. The direc
tion of the shock was from southeast to
northwest.
CHESTER, Pa., Sept. I.— An earthquake
shook this city about 6 o'clock this
morning and startled many people. The
vibration did not continue longer than
a few seconds. It caused windows and
buildings to tremble and wall ornaments
to become dislodged.
WESTCHESTER, Pa., Sept. I.— The
shock of an earthquake was felt very
sensibly here at 6 o'clock this morning.
Many people felt their houses shake, and
rushed to the doors in alarm.
EASTON, Pa., Sept. I.— A very per
ceptible tremor of the earth was felt in the
eastern part of this city shortly after 6
o'clock this morning.
ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, N. J.. Sept.
I.— At daybreak this morning there was
an earthquake here that shook buildings.

that resembled thunder. Many people
awoke from their beds in terror. The
shock lasted about two seconds.
ENGLEWOOD, N. J., Sept. I.— An
earthquake shock was experienced in this
place this morning at 6:10 o'clock. The
wave seemed to pass from the north to
the south. Pictures were swayed on the
walls, clocks were made to strike out of
time and people in - bed were awakened hy
the vibrations of the earth. . The shock
was accompanied by a noise resembling
thunder.
RAH WAY, N. J., Sept. I.— Two distinct
shocks of earthquake were felt here early

but was light. At 6 j o'clock j the • shock
lasted five seconds and was accompanied
by a rumbling noise resembling thunder.
No damage was done.
TRENTON, N. J., Sept. I.— An earth
quake shock was felt in this city 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. I.— Quite a
severe earthquake shock was perceptible
in Plainfield this morning at 6 o'clock,
lasting about seven seconds, buildings
quivering, 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
shaken, 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. V., Sept. I.— 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. V., September I.—
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. V., Sept. I.— An
earthquake shock was felt here very per
ceptibly about 6 o'clock this morning. No
damage was done.
WILMINGTON, Dela., Sept. I.— 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. f J., Sept. I.— 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.
CONEY ISLAND, N. ■ V., Sept. I.—
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. At the 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. V., Sept. I.— 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 ibe
found who would admit having felt the

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. m. in his house in
Brooklyn, and the shock 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. I.— The
earthquake reported from New Jersey and
other northern points this morning was
not noticed here. The delicate seismic
recorders at the Naval Observatory did not
indicate the slightest disturbance here.
WHITE PLAINS, N. V., 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. I.—
earthquake shock was distinctly felt here
at 6:09 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. V., Sept. I.— The
residents of this city were startled about 6

o'clock this morning by a low, rumbling
noise, followed by the rocking of their
houses as though from the effects of a
dynamite explosion. 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 visited here.
HAS SECURED THE CHILDRES
Princess Colonna Aided by the "Decree of
an Italian Coxirt. "; •'
NAPLES, Italy 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;7:*- -
The oldest of the boys, Andrea, is now

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
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 7 the court's decree, it was directed
that,.! necessary, force should be .used to
restore the children to the Princess. The

SAN FRANCISCO, MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 2,- 1895;
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.
i*>.y
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
traffic of the world. 777-7
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. It fol
lows a direct line from the Gulf of Tehuan
tepec on the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico
on the j 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 is but one tunnel and the
maximum grades are only 2 per cent. The
Government will operate the line as a na
tional road with equal privileges to all
transportation companies.
At present all traffic has to be lightered
at both termini, for the harbors are not yet
completed. -
The Government is constructing an
eastern harbor at the mouth of the
Coatzocoalcos River on the Gulf of. Mexico.
This river, has a waterfall of 6500 square
miles, and it enters the gulf between sand
dunes on one bank and solid rock sixty
feet in height on the other bank. At the
bar the channel is being deepened from
twelve 7to 7 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. 1 ; The steep slopes of the
shore render the construction of such a
wharf practicable. 7 7;- *
Warehouses and grain elevators ■ will be
built on the wharf, and railway tracks will
be laid from the elevators to the main line,
thus affording _a , rapid and economical
transfer of all rail and sail traffic. „ " •_ •.*."- '.-;
'- The jetties will -cost $2,250,000, and the
wharf, s warehouses, grain elevators and
hydraulic plants will cost $360,000. . - ;.i- v,
The Pacific 7 terminal on the Gulf , of Te
huantepec yis at * Salina Cruz, where the
shore . is * much more * abrupt than at the
eastern terminal, and less dredging will be
t *■ «X« *^A^x^j*_*;«^*i__^»*__T»su_if w _s^ ,_..___**■**&=*.*.<_,. >_*
required. Two parallel stone piers, 1000
feet long and capped with concrete blocks,
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. . V .
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
huantepec passes through a fertile coun
try, ana 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 fair a
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
saved to New Orleans. 7;.*:_.-
This ought to interest every Californian.
The effect that the Tehuantepec Railroad
will have upon trade between the Atlantic
States and the countries of Europe and the
Pacific coast of America on the one hand,
and upon the trade between the United
States and Asiatic ports on the other,* will
be demonstrated by 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
which has 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, Ties 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 a 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 Aleutian Islands. Even
the shortest route from Panama to the Ha
waiian Islands will pass close to Tehuantepec.

Victory.
FOLLOWED HIS INSTRUCTIONS.
The Strike Leader and His Lieu
tenants Talk of a Former
Conference.
. '.*■'..
CHICAGO, 111., Sept. I.— A morning
paper says ex-Mayor Hopkins advised the
great railroad strike of 1894, which ended
in such disastrous loss of property and
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. • ■ V 'A£:?;M
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 have 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 get out
from : under his monopoly and he would
have to do something.
Mr. Secord spoke very emphatically
against Howard's proposition, and said his
idea was that the trainmen should refuse
to ■ haul | Pullman sleepers. If v that was
done on one or two of the roads, it would
shut off 7 the . revenue ; and bring ; about a
settlement. - According to 7 Mr. Howard,
Mayor Hopkins then said : : - :
"That's right.'' Tie them '■ up, Debs; tie
them up. If yoa only get one or two roads,
it will shut off the '■■ revenue and bring the
old man to . arbitration. I knew 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 Becord says, the railroads
will make , the repairs 'on his cars, and he
can shut 7 down the shops - and keep them
closed until they starve. ;1 he 'only thing
to do is to tie up some . of the lines that
haul his cars." 1 -7
■> 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 7 repeat what Mr. Hopkins \ said on
that occasion. It has been a good while
sinee 7 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 bad 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." ■'■#-*-7£
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. .
Socialists and Anarchists Held a
Celebration and Speakers
Denounce Mayor Swift.
CHICAGO, 111., Sept. I.— 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. 7 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. '■;• '■ : 774
! '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. ' ;■'. 7 '.* V-
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 j Swift l for 7 interfering ' with
the liberty of ' American citizens by 1 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 7 say much regarding his
being put in prison.- 1 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 DEATH.
Rivalry Results in the Sinking
of a Tugboat and the Killing
of a Fireman.
One Vessel Towing a Steamer
and Resented Interference In
Sensational Style.
DULUTH, Minn., ..Sept.. I.— 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. -7{7 '...■:
,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. . ••'. ./.;-V
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 I 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. '•-

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. I.—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 haa
dispatched , six . companies of the Fifth
Regiment of Infantry to the scene, for the
purpose of affording all - the , protection
which the sheriff and the owners of 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 early 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. 77 7 ; _
The strikers have been in 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 jto do until their demands were
satisfied. : 7 14 ■■ .'' •' f-'w. •■ -}
•*. 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 is determined to put these
men to work early to-morrow to move the
big stock of ore to the late. 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
a long 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. .7; -77
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 beea
secured. ;""■: " ;f '7" 4-

purposes these sugar-coated "Pellets"
are superior in a great many ways to all
mineral waters, sedlitz powders, salts,

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.
