Fifteen Hundred Persons Perished
In Asia. Minor Earthquakes.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 3.—-It is
now estimated that 1,500 persons perisho
ed in the earthquakes in Asia Minor
around Aidin. The first ShOCk occurred
at 4 o’clock in the morning of Sept. 20
and lasted 40 seconds. The effects were
appalling. Whole villages were complete
ly destroyed. The earthquake was felt
as far as Scio, Mitylene and Smy1 na.
The latest advices from the stricken
area show that men, women and children
were buried in the ruins of their dwelling
places before they realized their danger.
Numbers of bodies still lie beneath the
debris. About 500 persons were killed at
Sarakeni and some 500 at Denizli, where
three-fourths of the buildings fell. There
was proportionate loss of life in many of
the smaller villages.
The disturbance has not yet subsided,
although its strength appears to be spent.
The shocks continue almost daily, but
with no great violence. The population
is encamped in the open.
One consequence of the earthquake is
the subsidence of the level of the Aidin
district by two yards. Sulphurous springs
burst out in the valley of Noander, and
the country between Aidin and Denizli
became full of crevices, out of which
rushed black, muddy water with suffi-
cient volume to wash away a flock of
1, 000 sheep.
The villagers of the valley of Noander
report that for several days p1evious to
the catastrophe the animals were greatly
disturbed, bellowing, bleating and bark-
ing as the case might be.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 4.—The citi-

on the United States steamer Resolute
as soon as the cargo can be loaded. The
Resolute has been specially designated by
the navy department to carry the sup-
plies. The cargo will range between 800
and 1, 000 tons and will cost about $25,-
000. This will be the second cargo that
this city has sent to the suffering Porto
Ricans.

CHICAG'O’S 'FEST-IVAL.
Preparations For a Rousing Recep-
tion to President McKinley.
CHICAGO, Oct. 3.—Only. one public
reception will be given President McKin-
ley while the latter is in Chicago to at-
tend the fall festival. The original in-
tention was to hold two receptiOns,-one
under the auspices of the Grand Army of
the Republic at Memorial hall Tuesday
afternoon, Oct. 10, and another under the
auspices of the festival committee at the
Auditorium Wednesday, Oct. 11. Presi-
dent McKinley will leave Chicago Tues-
day evening, Oct. 10, however, to keep
an engagement at Evansville, Ind. The
two functions will therefore be merged
into one, which will be held at Memorial
hall from 2 to 5 p. m., during which time
the president will receive the public.
Indications point to record breaking
crowds during the festival. The hotels
are already engaged to their utmost ca-
pacity, while thousands of out of town
requests for accommodations are being
received daily.
The official programme was issued yes-
terday by the executive committee of the
fall festival, which opens Oct. 4 and con-
tinues one week.
A Fire Department In Santiago.
SANTIAGO, Cuba, Oct. 3.—-The latest
achievement of the city government is
the organization and equipment of a
metropolitan fire department, with mod-
ern steam engines, hose wagons and ap-
paratus. Sunday a parade was held of
100 uniformed firemen, with decorated
hose wagons, and a very creditable run
was made through the city. The improv-
ed condition of the streets makes effective
work by the department possible, and, in
view of this, the underwriters have prom-
ised to bring about a reduction in the
present exorbitant rates for insurance.
Pittsburg Iron lilolderh"'Sfi"TE’é3
PITTSBURG, Oct. 3.—About 700 iron
molders have struck for an advance in
wages. No specific increase was asked,
but the minimum was fixed at $3 a day.
A peculiar phase of the situation is that
the moldels who belong to Iron Molders’
union 1’0. 46 cannot join the st1'ike1s, as
there is an agreement in the annual scale
that when any difiiculty occurs that it
shall be settled by arbitration. It is esti-
mated that 37 foundries are idle as a re—
sult of the strike.

A NEW KLONDIKE.
_ 0
Extensive Mineral Deposits Found to
the East of Hudson Bay.
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 2.—The Times
publishes a letter from a correspOndent
at Fort Francis, Ont., under date of
Sept. 20, which says:
"' 'Ungavaland, a legion as desolate and
unknown nas the Klondike was four years
ago, has just been penetrated by a party
of prospectors headed by a newspaper
man of this region and consisting for
the most part of men representing a
wealthy Boston syndicate. From their
reports and from statements made by a
member of the Canadian geological sur-
vey whom they found in that region
they have run into a new Klondike and
one richer in diversified minerals, of lar-
ger extent and easy to reach as compared
with the ice deserts of the Yukon.
“About a year ago J. A. Osborne, edit-
or of a newspaper of this region, became
the possessor of a diary that had been
the records of‘an old employee of the
Hudson Bay company. He was astonish-
ed to find that it told circumstantially of
discovery of mineral deposits on the east-
ern shores of Hudson bay, north from
the Whale river, in what is known as
Ungavaland, one of the last remaining
unexplored tracts of the North American
continent. Mr. Osborne had no difficulty
in inducing Boston capitalists to provide
funds to equip an expedition to explore
for the mineral fields.
Before returning the party found
large and valuable deposits of gold, sil-
vcr, copper, iron, anthracite and linnite,
gypsum and Cinnabar. On the tracts that
the party discovered minerals they have
now filed claims at the Dominion oflices
in Ottawa.” .
Trade With Havana.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—The wa‘r de-
partment have given out a statement of
exports of merchandise and gold coin at
the port of Havana for the first eight
months of American occupation. One of
the most striking features of the report
is the volume of products that passes
month by month out of the port of Ha-
vana at a time when the agricultural re-
sources of the island are at their mini-
mum. If the volume of business contin‘
ues for the next four months at the ratio
of the past eight months the export trade
of Havana for the first year of American
occupation will
sum of $29,000,000. The total experts!
for eight months were $18,958,570, the
United States alone taking $13, 423, 417
wo1th, leaving to be distributed among
20 other countries only $5,535,153 worth.
