Kxti:iustive Competition Before the Australian flag was chosen more than 33,000 designs were carefully examined. The competition was originally started by “The Aus tralasian Review of Reviews,” and as many of the designs were well worth notice, the government took the mat ter up and offered a reward of £200 for the best suggestion. A board of naval expertB was appointed to exam ine those sent in, and a decision was reached on October 3. Wann't Sure »§ to that Kind.

Earthquake in Southern Mexico Proves tc Have Been Disastrous, CITY Of CHILPANCINGO DESOLATE Falling Buildings Destroy Lives of Many of the Inhabitants—Church Crashes Its Worshipers—Great Slaughter Oc curs io Sacred Edifice. MEXICO CITY, Jan. 18.—One of the most terrible disasters in the history of the state of Guerrero i3 reported to have occurred late yesterday after noon. An extremely violent earth quake shock was feit at Chilpancingo, causing a great loss of life and injur ing many persons. Details from the stricken district are very meager, but scattering reports received herei ndi cate that probably 300 persons were killed and as many more injured. It is known that the state capital, the parish church and many business houses and residences were in ruins and that there is much suffering as a result of the awful seismic disturb ance. One of the edifices that suffer ed most was the federal telegraph of fice, which explains the scarcity of news thus far. Meager details finally began to ar rive here. The telegraph lines and apparatus at Chilpancingo were badly damaged, but the employes, all of whom were uninjured, quickly pro ceeded to erect an improvised tele graph office on the outskirts of the city. The number of deaths was greater in the parish church than any other single place, as a crowd of wor shipers was gathered there for the afternoon service. The solid masonry walls and tbe root carne toppling down on the worshipers and many of those within were killed. The war department has ordered troops in the neighborhood to co-oper ate in the work of rescue. Until the work is completed it will be impos sible to accurately learn the number of victims. It is believed, however, that this is one of the most destruc tive earthquakes that, ever occurred in Mexico. The greater part of the population of the city are now camp ing out under tents around the town, which is five days’ journey from the national capital. Earthquake shocks were felt in many other cities and towns. In Mex ic6 City the earthquake occurred at 6:07 p. m. yesterday and was of such violence as to shake the most substan tial buildings. The Pan-American congress was in session at the time and many of the delegates wene great-' ly alarmed. The first movement here was one of trepidation and was very sharp, it was followed by an easy oscillatory movement northeast to south-southwest. The duration was fifty-five seconds. The damage in this city was slight. The state of Guerrero has always beeen the focus of seismic disturb ances. Reports received here state the shock was very severe at Chilapa. No casualties are so far reported from there. The duration of the Chll pancingo shock was less than that in Mexico City, having lasted fifty sec onds, against fifty-five seconds at the capital. Up to 11 o’clock tonight no further news had come from the stricken city. The earthquake was also Intense at Igulia, in the state of Guerrero, de stroying the parish church and many buildings. Among the latter was the sugar mill of General Erisbie. The mill had just been completed and fit ted up with American machinery at a cost of $200,000. The property loss is immense throughout the state of Guerrero. The Association Press correspond ent has just seen a private telegram from Chilpancingo saying: “I and fam ilv nro nrnnv hnimflS Hpstroved.” Creamery Man Disappear?. CEDAR RAPIDS. la.. .Ian. 18.—W. A. Smith, proprietor of the Mystic creamery in this city, and interested in a line of creameries in Benton county, has been missing since Sun day. The Merchants' National bank of this city began suit in the superior court, asking judgment for $5,375 against Smith and a writ of attach ment of his property. The bank claims to have loaned him $2,000. Quarantine of Diseased Sheep LINCOLN, Jan. 18.—Communica tions received from various sections of the state in response to orders from State Veterinarian Thomas command ing a quarantine of diseased sheep, in dicate that the suggestion will be fol lowed to the letter. Oninhan Will Issue Call. DENVER, Jan. 18.—Governor Orman today announced that he will issue a call tomorrow or on Sunday for a special session of the legislature to consider the following subjects: The revenue bill w'hich was attacked by the trusts and pronounced unconstitu tional in part by the courts; the con trol of the corporations, especially railroads, by a commission or other wise; an employers' liability bill and for financing the Gunnison tunnel. MANY VIEW INAUGURATION. Five Thousand People See Uoverno] Cummings Take the Oath. DES MOINES, Jan. 17.—The inaug uration of Oovemor A. B. Cummins j took place yesterday with imposing ceremonies at the Auditorium and in the presence of 5,000 people. The par ade, which took place f-om the stats house, through the principal streets ol the city and to the Auditorium, wa3 escorted by five companies of the state militia and consisted of the full mem bership of the legislature, state offi cials, ex-governors, United States Sen ators Allison and Dolliver in car riages. At the Auditorium exercises were opened by Lieutenant Governor Milli man. Bishop Morrison of the Episco pal church delivered the invocation and was immediately followed by the administering of the oath of office to Governor Cummins by Chief Justice Scott M. Ladd. The governor then delivered his inaugural address. At the conclusion the governor was es corted by the members of the legis lature in carriages to the state house, where he formally took charge of the office. lu the evening Governor and Mrs. Cummins held a reception at the state house. In his inaugural address Governor Cummins spoke of the pride he shar ed with all in citizenship in a state so pre-eminent in the sisterhood of states which make up our great coun try. On the question ct' industrial combinations he spoke of the evils which follow in the wake of overcap italization and throttling of competi tion. “Every corporation should he required to have Its capital stock paid for Rt par in money,” he said, “before it is authorized to do business. The genius for deception has been too of Leu accepieu as legal lenuer iur slock it should be declared the counterfeit it is.” He can see no hope in state leg islation. "I believe the question is a national one,” he said, “and the time has come to nationalize it. * * * I am not an advocate of a general re vision of the tariff, but I stand for competition, the competition of the re public if possible, but of the world if necessary. 1 regard the consequences of a monopoly in any important pro duct as infinitely more disastrous than the consequences of foreign importa tions.” On the topic of taxation Governor Cummins said: “The most flagrant defect in the execution of our taxing law is disclosed in the escape of so large a part of the personal property within our jurisdiction from the view of the assessor. I believe that there ought to be imposed a reasonable pen alty for the failure to list taxable property.” He also devoted some at tention to the subject of railroad tax ation, pointing out the inadequacy of the existing law and suggesting need ed improvements. An appropriation .for the St. Louis exposition is urged and liberal provisions for the mainte nance of state institutions. TAKES IP HAWAIIAN COINS. Congress to Provide for Recoining Into American Money. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 17 — The bill for the recoinage of the sil ver coinage of Hawaii, introduced by Representative Hill of Connecticut, was favorably acted upon by the house committee on weights, coinage and measures. Some opposition was met with, the democratic members urging that the silver dollars should not lose their idenity as such by being recoined into subsldary coinage. The vote on the bill was 8 to 3, the democratic members voting in the negative. The bill as reported provides that all of the silver coins of Hawaii shall be received at par in payment of government dues to Hawaii or to the United States. After being received the coins shall be sent to San Fran cisco, to be recoined into subsidiary silver. The expense of shipment from Hawaii is borne by the United States, and this is the only expense involved. There is about $975,000 of silver cir culating in Hawaii, most of it in sil ver dollars. Parliament Opened by King. LONDON, Jan. 17— King Edward opened Parliament yesterday with a ceremonial in all essential respects similar to that of February last. The long procession to the House of Lords was of the same elaborate character as that witnessed on the occasion of the first Parliament of King Edward's reign, while within the upper house were seen the same pageantry, the same historic dresses and the same revival of ancient forms. Schedule ltalscn Wages. ST. PAUL, Minn., Jan. 17.—It is semi-offlcially stated that the new wage schedules adopted by the Great Northern at the request of the en gineers and firemen operating the new and heavier freight engines advances the wages of engineers who have been receiving $1 per 100 miles to $4.50.

AN ADDRESS BY SECRETARY HAY Appropriation for Expenses of the West Indian Exposition — Passage of the Pension Appropriation Bill — Other Hatters In the Bouse. WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. — The house today passed the pension ap propriation bill, which has been under discussion for three days, and ad journed until Saturday night. The resolutions prepared by the special committee on the McKinley memorial exercises, providing for an address by Secretary of State John Hay in the hall of representatives on February 27, was adopted. Mr. Montague Lesser, who was re cently elected to succeed Mr. Nicholas Muller of New York, was sworn in today. Many of Mr. Lesser’s friends were in the gallery and gave him a rousing reception when he took the oath. Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio then present ed the resolution for holding McKinley memorial exercises in the hall of the house February 27 and it was unani mously adopted. The resolution was as follows: “Whereas, The melancholy event of thp vinlpnt and traedr dpath of Wil- 1 liam McKinley, late president of the United States, having occurred dur ing the recess of congress, and the two houses, sharing in the general grief, and desiring to manifest their sensibility upon the occasion of the public bereavement; therefore, “Resolved, by the house of repre sentatives, the senate concurring, That the two houses of congress will as semble in the hall of the house of rep resentatives on a day and hour fixed and announced by the joint commit tee, to-wit, Thursday, February 27, 1902, and that in the presence of the two houses there assembled an ad dress upon the life and character of William McKinley, late president of the United States, be pronounced by Hon. John Hay, and that the presi dent pro tem and the speaker of the house be requested to invite the presi dent and ex-presidents of the United States, ex-vice president, heads of the various departments, judges of the su preme court, representatives of for eign governments, governors of the several states, the lieutenant general of the army and the admiral of the navy and such officers of the army and navy as have received the thanks of congress, who may then be at the seat of government, to he present on the occasion, and such others as may be suggested by the executive com mittee; and, be it further “Resolved, That the president of the United States be requested to transmit a copy of these resolutions to Mrs. Medea S. McKinley and assure her of the profound sympathy of the houses of congress for her personal affliction and of their sincere condo lence for the late national bereave ment.” Mr. Moody of Massachusetts pre sented a joint resolution to appropri ate $50,000 to pay the expenses in curred by the West Indian and Caro lina Interstate exposition at Charles ton, S. C., in connection with the government exhibit at Charleston. The house then resumed considera tion of the pension bill, which was read for amendment under the five minute rule. An amendment, offered by Mr. Jen kins of Wisconsin, providing that the testimony of three witnesses that per sons lived together as man and wife for five years should be assumed to be prima facie evidence of marriage, provoked considerable devate and fin ally was ruled out on a point of or der. The bill was then passed. Straus* as an Arbitrator. WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—Oscar S. Strauss of New York, formerly United States minister to Turkey, was ap pointed a member of the permanent committee of arbitration at The Hague. The appointment is to fill the vacancy caused by the death of ex-l’resldent Harrison. Hospital for Consumptives. COLORADO, SPRINGS, Colo., Jan. 15.—General William J. aPlmer has announced his intention of giving 100 acres of land and $5,000 to establish a sanitarium in Colorado Springs for consumptives, the institution to cost in all $25,000. Oliio Wool Grower* Protest,. COLUMBUS, Jan. 16.—At the meet ing of the Ohio Farmers’ institute, J. H. Bingham declared that reciproc ity, insofar as it would affect the wool growers cf the United Sta es, •would be disastrous to them. He pointed out that Argentina, South America, produced two and a half times as much wool as the United States, and that a far greater pro portion of it was for export, as the population was sparse. THE LIVE STOCK MARKET Latest Quotations From South Omaha and Kunitag City. SOUTH OMAHA. CATTLE—Receipts of cattle were heav ier than anticipated, and as a result buy ers started in from the beginning to buy their supplies for less money. In some cascr? th'?y exceeded while in others they did not. so that the market on all grades, both good and bad. was rather uneven. The market on cornfed steers could be quoted all the way from steady to a dime low'er. The decline was not confined to any one grade, hut was uneven on all kinds. Buyers tried to buy everything lower, but in a good many instances they paid steady prices for what they got. 1 The cow market was also uneven. The better grades sold at just about steady prices and the medium and canners sold steady to a dime low'er. The feeling on bulls was also rather weak except where the quality was very good, and the same was true of stags. Veal calves sold in just about yesterday’s notches. There were very few stockers and feeders on sale and anything good sold at just about steady prices. HOGS—There was a liberal run of hogs and as all other markets were quoted lower prices here took a drop. The gen eral market could safely be quoted fully 10c lower on all but the best heavyweights and they sold mostly steady to 5c lower. The quality and weight of the hogs was much better than yesterday, so that the market on paper does not show as much of a decline as it w’ould if the quality was the same as it was yesterday. The better weight hogs sold largely from $6.25 to $3.50. Medium weights sold mostly from $6.10 to $6.25. SHEEP—There were not as many sheep on sale as there were yesterday, so that the market held right close to steady at this point in spite of the fact that Chicago was reported w'eak to a dime lower. Prices have gone down quite rap idly in Chicago, but there has been a good steady market here all the week, so that prices are higher here than in Chicago. The quality of the offerings was nothing extra today, so that the market does not look particularly high on paper. There were some yearling wethers, however, good enough to bring *o.uv. KANSAS CITY.

LOUIS FAIR President and Financial Agent Deem It Necessary to Walt. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18—The Lou isiana Purchase exposition, which was to have been held in St. Louis in 1903, will not take place until 1904. This fact was practically conceded by ex Governor Francis, president of the ex position company, and Adolph Busch, the financial agent of the company, at the White House yesterday. Since arriving here and conferring with the foreign representatives, Gov ernor Francis and Mr. Busch have come to the conclusion that unless the exposition is postponed for a year the exposition will not be able to secure the elaborate foreign exhibits which are desired. They find, for instance, that a great Japanese fair is to be given under government auspices in 1903, and if the exposition is postpon ed until 1904 everything of interest exhibited there can be brought to St. Louis the following year. It is the desire of the exposition management that the foreign exhibits expecially shall be very complete. “In 1903 we can make the exposi tion as great as any ever given,” said Governor Francis, "but if we postpone it a year it will surpass anything in the exposition line ever attempted. We can be ready in 1903, but it is questionable whether we can secure what we want from abroad by that time." DENIES CHARGES Of CRUELTY British Government Issues Blue Book on Concentration Camps. LONDON, Jan. 18.—A blue book issued today on the subject of the concentration camps in South Africa contains further detailed explanations from Lord Milner, the British high commissioner, and Lord Kitchener, as to the causes of the excessive death rate in the camps, and refutation of the charges of cruelty. Lord Kitchener emphatically denies Commandant Schalkburger’s allega tions of forcible removal and exposure of sick women and of rough and cruel treatment of women and children, and says: “I offered Botha to leave the fami lies and relatives of fighting burghers in undisturbed possession of their farms if Botha would agree to spare the farms of the families of surren dered burghers.
