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.”

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.

House Adopts Resolution for the McKin

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.

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.

POSTPONE ST. 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
