Khokand and other places, as well as at Samarkand which caused, more or less injury. Karatagh is in Russian Turkes tan, one hundred miles southeast of Samarkand, which place suffered great damage by earthquake on Oct 21. * The shocks lasted for nearly the entire day at Samarkand, toppling over many houses, but so far as known, only two were killed. The ulation had ample time to flee from their houses before the greatesFjl shock came. The weather bureau At Washing ton, announced on October 21, that an earthquake had been recorded, beginning at 11 o’clock the previous night lasting until early in the morn ing.

Miss Mary Quackenboss, a special attorney of the department of ustioe, has filed with the department sensational report, after having made an alleged investigation of la bor conditions in the South.

That the tariff change Is needed Is certain. If it is ndt needed, why doesn’t the Din- gley tariff, hailed as the maker of prosperity, save the day Instead of having your Uncle Sam held up?" While Southerners and democrats are attacking Mr. Cortelyou’s policy in the Wall street matter, the re publican statesmen refuse to take these onslaughts seriously.
