9 :40 a. m., throwing down Masonic hall,
Chadwick's building, Bertholet's two
story stone building, Humphrey Bros."
oneT.story stone building, and 'generally
demolishing goods, fixtures, etc. One
man was badly hurt by a falling wall,
and Miss Clara Jessen, a milliner, was
hurt, and others more or less injured.
Business is suspended. . Main street is a
scene of desolation. .'A fire in the rear of

SACRAMENTO BADLY SHAKEN.
Sacramento, April -21. Another se
vere earthquake shock "occurred this
morning at 9 :45 o'clock, lasting 20 sec
onds Buildings got, a lively shaking,
and plastering fell from many ceilings.
Several chimneys toppled over, - and
much glassware was broken in the crock
ery stores. .The public . schools, were
dismissed. . All the pupils got out with
out creating a panic. The state capitol
building suffered. - A large portion of
one of the plaster statues over the porti
co, 150 feet from the ground, fell and
struck 40 feet from the building. The
gigantic building trembled - violently,
and there was a general exodus of clerks.
It was discovered that a crack was made
in the ceiling extending from ode end of
the building to the other, and going
through the office of the superintendent
of public instruction clear into the as
sembly chamber. The beautiful ceiling
of the latter, which is formed of stucco
work tipped with- gold, was rent in
places, as were also the Corinthian col
ums supporting the gallery. Books were
thrown from the shelves and general dis
order reigned.
PEOPLE PANIC STRICKEN. '
In Woodland the shock was more - se
vere than the one of Tuesday, and the
most substantial buildings were wrecked
or damaged. Business is practically
suspended, as people are fearing another
tremor. Some damage was . done at
Esparto, but there are no details. In
Dixon the shock at 9 :40 a. m., completed
the wreck threatened before, and but
two or three brick buildings in town are
safe. The "occupants of the brick build
ings, who remained after the first shock,
are moving out. No" one was injured,
but there were many narrow escapes.
The people are panic-stricken, and it is
believed the ruin of the town will be
completed before the ' shocks cease.
Every available' mechanic and laborer
is at work attempting to clear away, the
wreckage and take down the condemned
buildings before a fatal accident occurs.
SAN FRANCISCO AND ELSEWHERE.
San Francisco, April 21. A modera
tely heavy earthquake shock visited San
Francisco at 9:42 this morning. The
vibration b were north and south, lasting
twenty seconds. ' In Davisville, the
shock was felt at 9 :43, and was very
severe, vibrations running from south
east to northwest.- It was of brief dura
tion, lasting no more than five seconds,
yet in severity it seemed to exceed that
of the 19th. The additional damage is
noticeable in the rear walls of the Ma
sonic and Odd Fellow's hall, where the
fissures show considerable enlargement,
and are now really dangerous should the
vibrations continue. In Chico, the
shock lasted thirty seconds, vibrations
north to south. Lamps in buildings all
over the eity were set swinging, ceilings
in some ; places cracked and clocks
stopped. Bain has been steadily falling
since last night. In Napa, at. 9 :42, the
shock was even heavier, than that of
Tuesday morning. Several brick build
ings were cracked and much plaster fell,
Dut noDoay was nurt. -
y ' VACAVH-tB REVISITED. --;
' VAekvmut, April 21. The shock was
heavy, but no additional - damage re
suited. Workmen removing the debris
on the Odd Fellows' building had a nar
row escape. They refuse to return to
work. The vibration was east and west.
and occurred about 9:47. A few more
chimneys -are down. The shock reached
Biggs at 9 :45. and was heavv. The vi
brations were north and south, lasting;
about eight seconds. . Eight distinct' vi
brations were felt. Clocks stopped and
plaster fell. In Auburn, it was olic-hf.
at 9 :43, doing no damage. It commen
ced raining at 5 o'clock this morning,
and is still raining. In ' Fresno, it was
sharp, at 9 :45. In Reno slight.

Win. Colby, a farm hand, near Marine

A dispatch from English, Ind., says:
"The Little Blue river, gorged by saw-
logs, has backed up and flooded the
business portion of the town to a depth
of five. feet. Many cattle, sheep and
hogs were drowned." Why the sheep
and hogs were in "the business portion
of the town," is left to the surmise of
the night editor who fills in the
skeleton" dispatch. . .This was , neg

erroneous report of his speech in -that
city and argumented the error by dis
torted conrments. - "But," said Mr.
Eliot, "a republican paper is not usually
disposed to report correctly what I say,
since I had the misfortune to become a
democrat."
Chinese Exclusion.
Washington, April 22. On the re
turn of Senator Dolph from Boston yes
terday he took decided exception to the
view that the exclusion hill in force will
not expire until 1894.. He believed it
was wise, to secure some legislation, even
if it was not alj that is desired. " It is
reported that other , Pacific coast sena
tors have been informed that fhe course
of Senator Dolph is very unsatisfactory
to his people, and that he should sup
port the Geary bill. . -

SETTLERS OUTNUMBER TROOPS.
The Cattlemen From Texas The Set
tlers at Home Previous Mis
understandings. Douglas, Wyo., April 22. The mili
tary escort, sent into the cattle regions
to rescue the Texas cattleman who were
surrounaea Dy settlers, threatening ven
geance for usurping . the" rights of the
settlers, called rustlers, is expected here
today. The cattlemen are being trans
ported in heavy wagons drawn by four
horse teams furnished by the stage com
pany, and even should there be no attack
from settlers the march will be a hard
one, for there is no point., on the road
between Crazy Woman and Brown
springs, a distance of ninety miles, where
hay or grain could be obtained for the
horses. As a sample of the travel
ing along the road between this
place and Fort McKinney, it took
9 hours yesterday to make the trip,
twenty-hve miles, to Sage creek, in an
open buggy, in the face of a driving
snow storm, and that section of the road
is the best of the 150 miles between the
two places. The cattlemen, "forty-two
in number, are in charge of Col. Van'
Home, and his command of 132 men.
They left Fort McKinney early yester-
day .morning, but where they are at
present no one knows. A snow storm
has been raging with unabated severity
and the trail is in a frightful condition.
It was the intention of the troops to
make Powder river the objective point
of the first day's march, but it was ab
solutely impossible to get further than
Crazy Woman, twentv miles from the
starting point. There they camped
Monday and if the storm at Sage creek
is any criterion of that up . there, they
did not move a hoof yesterday. The
weather this morning is clearing and it
is probable that the march, will be re
sumed. If so, the critical point will be
reached at Powder .river. .. The military
guard is not more than 150 mounted
men, against the cattlemen are 500
thoroughly armed and much better
equipped settlers determined to get pos-"
session of cattlemen, for trial. No bet
ter spot for an ambuscade conld be se
lected than . the immediate'vicinity of
Powder river. Canyons and ravines
abound, and fifty expert riflemen cou'd
from the sheltering rocks. The settlers
feel that they have a just cause, 'and.
only wish to prevent the Texan s from
leaving Wyoming before' they' can be-
brought to trial for depredations com
mitted upon the settler's lands.
The Facts as They Are.
Bcpfallo, Wyo., April 22. The truth
concerning the troubles in Wyoming
have been embodied in a statement to.
President Harrison, asking him to
receive a delegation to lay before him all'
the facts concerning the trouble between
the cattiemen in the state. The state
ment shows that contrary to all laws, an.
armed body of capitalists ..entered . the
country with the avowed intention of
taking possession of and controlling 'the
same in their own interests. ' It is be
lieved their aim was to terrorize and
depopulate the country, and, if need be,
murder all who resisted. It adds : "The
ed and their actions misrepresented."
Senator . Warren - assures - r the"
people that they will be received, and
has expressed the opinion that the peo
ple were acting under a misapprehen
sion of the real purpose of the general
government in dealing with the matter.
Its object was merely to maintain the
supremacy of the law. In due course of
time, he said,' the cattlemen would be
turned over to the state authorities and
tried. The intervention of the-TJmted
States authorities would not oppress the
people in any way.
-' Rep. Hermann has asked that -the
steamer Gedney, belonging to the coast
and geodetic survey, be directed to go to
Astoria totake part in the celebration
May 10th-ifltie would be a fine flagship
for the Mosquito fleet. ''.
