London, Dec. 17. An earthquake, the
most violent ever experienced in this
country, has shaken every shire from
London to the Welsh coast. The sab
terraneous disturbance was first noticed
about 5 :30 this morning, and lasted from
four to five seconds. At many points
two distinct shocks were experienced.
The most severe shocks were felt at
Chelten, Ledbury and Deaniorest.
The earthshaking was accompanied by
a loud rushing sound. Buildings were
violently shaken, furniture, shifted,
doors thrown open, pictures and other
ornaments upset. The inhabitants were
panic-stricken and fled from their
houses.
The earthquake also visited Birming
ham and various points in Shropshire,
and was violent in . Worcester and the
country surrounding that city.
The shocks were followed by a tremor
of the earth. The greatest alarm pre
vailed everywhere. Chimneys were
overthrown, windows, etc., smashed.
At some points on the country road per
sons were thrown down ; a number of
people were thrown out of their beds.
Hereford cathedral was injured. The
doll, rumbling beneath the earth's sur
face was followed by two loud crashes
and a terrible lifting and rocking.
The panic at Hereford was so great
that one woman died from fright. Peo
ple rushed wildly into the streets.
Many chimneys fell crashing into the
thoroughfares. All the pinnacles of St.
Nicholas' church toppled over and a
part of the pinnacle of the cathedral
fell.
At Liverpool the earthquake wasjre
ceded by heavy thunder and a fearful
hail storm. In London the earthquake
was only slightly felt.
At Bridgennorth; near Shrewsbury,
before the disturbance, the streets sud
denly seemed to be on fire, and there
was a violent rise accompanied by a
shaking of the earth. People going
abroad in that vicinitv say they were
unable to walk, owing to the vibrations.
There was great excitement among the
people about Poole, who thought the
end of the world had come.
Houses shook for nearly a minute at
Bristol and Clifton, causing much alarm
railroad employes at ' Crewe report that
they felt the rails oscillate. At Ever
sham the shock was followed by a bril
liant light in the sky.
Tuesday there was a sudden change
from mild weather to a severe frost, fol
lowea Dy dense logs and snow on
Wedneeday.
In the mining districts it was first
thought the shocks were the results of
colliery explosions. The disturbance
,was violent at Warwick Castle. The
Earl of Warwick felt his bed lifted as
though by some force beneath it, and the
' furniture in the room ehifted.

porsons murdered have been identified
as Freeman Morrow and his 14-year-old
daughter, who lived near Terrilton and
were on their way to this city.
Sheriff Creel is reported to have tele
phoned to the governor, asking the First
regiment, O. JST. G., to be held in readi
ness to quell any . threatened outbreak
between the whites and blacks. The
report, however, cannot be verified.
Throughout the day there were many
excited negroes and whites in the streets
in Stillwater, and every threat to lynch
the prisoner provoked the negroes to
fresh declarations that any attempt
upon the life of Laug'ulin would be re
sisted by the blacks.

bearer of the latest directions of the czar
for the future policy of Russia.
Tbe general opinion here is that Rus
sia has not changed her policy of firm
moral pressure to obtain the necessary
reforms in conjunction with tbe other
powers, but will show equal firmness
against force being used.
The powers will, in tbe opinion of a
prominent diplomat, now formulate ex
tensive demands, but are prepared to
accept much less than they ask for.
