I'hVscene of the terrible disaster is being visited by thousands, who block up "the narrow street and make it diflicult for anvone to moye. Being but one narrow street between rhe rock and the river there is a complete stoppage of trailic, except by climbing over the debris. A large force is engaged in search ing the ruins, and the shipping olhce in the Dominion government building is being turned into a tern porary morgue. Over twenty bodies are lying in it. It is ditlicult to identify some, so .nuch have they been disfigured and crushed. Several persons reported missing have turned up, but it is thougl that mere will lie ten or more victims added to the list. A com plete list of the injured cannot be made yet, as they were removed to the dillereni hospitals and tc friends' houses. The citv council is holding special meeting to consider what is the beslcour.se to be pursue;! lo complete the work of recovering the remaining bodies. It is feared that a large part of the rock adjoinii.g tho slide will conte down, as large crevices have appeared ami rain is still falling. People are moing out of the threatened ho.ises. Citizens are sending in money to relieve the immediate distress among the homeless women and children. The site of the landslide of Jast niht is almost identical with that of the one which occurred in .1841. when eight buildings were crushed and thirty-two persons killed. (;eou(;ia i.Efiisi.Arons.

Cost of KMnning Street Cars ia Brussels, Electrical Review. The storage battery electric cars Lave now been is regular passage service for a little ver tw years in Brussels, and a report ras just been made of the cost of motive power during that time. The mo tive power included the renewal of butteries, the wear and tear on motel's aud machinery, the generat ing and storing of tiie energy and repairs and replacements generally iu fact, cvei v e!t iip-ut ihat c&n be usdersecd by an engineer to be motive powir. It has been feuuil ihtit the cost ot motive power has been a trine less than 3 cents per kilometer, or j about cents per car mile: in this. the cost ot maintaining the bat teries has ammeunted to 1 3-5 cents per car miles. It muy bt oi ln'erest to know thflt the intimate f the cost rf motive power as based on the ex perience of the Electric Traction Company o the Fourth and Madi son avenues, New York, and pre pared prior to the report at Brus sels and without any knowledge f the cos there, is within a traction of being the same. The company finds the cost of motive power o' Madison uvenue to he o.S cents per mile. In the co-t of (native power a3 estimnted in New York, how ever, was included interest on in vestment, amounting to 1.8 cents, or 3 .5 ceiits per mile net, inc'.ud ing depreciation on butte.rv, cost ol generating current and handling of batier.es.

Sr.TII.IMi TIIK IM'BLIC DOMAIN ThsTt-ai-'a 2,.co:d ia the Way olTilisss, Sarveyf, Ect. Sasaip Lacs asd Miuercl Claim;. WA'siii'jiGTOX, Sept. 19. The an nual repcr: cf Acting Commissioner of" the Genua! Laud Ollice Williaai M. Steoc has been submitted to the secretary of the interior. In epeDiDg his report Commis sioner Stone refer9 to the accumu lation of business in the office which has been left over from for mer aduiinUtiailons, and which was partly duo to the increasing work vf the Itcal land offices. The system in force, be say-:, was not promotive of the speedy dispatch of businsss, especially in the case ot the bord of ieview, created by Commissioner Sparks, which he abolished, as a hindrance of gaod, safe and quick work in the office. ' On Mi. Sparks s unfortunate and unwarranted suspicions that a wide spread system of fraud' prevailed, and Mr. Sparks's assertion as to tho proportion of fraudulent filings t the total number of filings made and relinquished, which may be estimated in round Lumbers at 109 per cent., Mr. Stone says : "This wholesale arraignment ot tne claimants eu the public domain should not have been made with out the most conclusive evidence to sustain it." The report goes to say that bo general muconduct on the part of the Western setUers has bien found. During the year 70,141 agricult ura1 patents were issued, covering 11,791,110 acres at land, an in crease over the prccedin?; year of mare than o 000,009 acres. Mineral patents to the number at 913, cot -eriig an acreage of 17,090, were issued. There were patented for the benefit of the railroads under the law, 425,0-lC acres, and uuder the swamp laud grants to lac statei, 259,721 acres. Statei selections, under the educational grants, were appraTcd t the ex tent of 132.o30 acres, and, lands to the Indians were patented under variou? acts to the amount of lo'J, 390 acres. The total cash receipts of the office freni the sales of land and fees were $9,270,225, a decrease of mare than $3,000,000, as compared with the previous year. During the year surveys were ac cepted ta the amount at 4,5-14,372 acres, principally in Dakota, Mon tana and Mew Mexico. The report referred ta the un- ; settled cenditien at the privata ; land claiaas in New Mexico and Arizona, and the urgent need of ; cDrress:onal actian to settle the titles in these territories. Kefeiring to the act of March 3, 1889, wbicn authorizes the secre tary af the interior to adjust each ot the railroad grants, and if any had been erroneausly certified or patented to commence proceeding to cancel them, the report state that of the pending setecttoni 21,560,846 acres have been sus pended, awaiting action by coa res'tJ. ' ' v ' -" Attention is called to the fact that more than 80,000,000 acre if laid have been claimed under tho swamp laid act in the 'various states; Florida alone, while having a tatat acreage 'f but 37,931,521 acres, having lists filled far 22.221,' 4C9 acres as swamp land. "There can be ia .daunt," says the report, "that large quantities of laaJ, amauntia; to' millions af acrei, have b?ea patented to the state erroneously as swaip laua's, whih in fact they were and artf goad ag ricultural lahds." t The report recom meads the re peal of all the laws relating to the public limber, and the "enactment rf a general law, plain, concise and unmistakable in meaning.' ' Fewer fraudulent entries have been mada during the vear than for many years past, owing ta in creased vigilance, but several cases are mentioned in the report where syndicates have sought to obtain' ceal jands by fraudulent means, and in one case,had they succeeded, tha commission alone would have amounted to $550,060. The opening of Oklahoma is re ferred to as the mast important evtnt for several years in the ad ministration of the land office. : Le-t ns give the readers of the Her ald a little timely advice.
