VOL. XXXVI-No. 28.1 SALEM, OREGON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1886. I WEEKLY EDITION EASTERN. News of the Week from Be yond the Rockies. CHARLESTON IN KlINS. TIm Metropolis of South Carolina VUIU4 by ma Earthquake. Ciiaklkrton, Sept. 1. Aii earthquake, each m was never before hoard of in this city, swept over Charleston lattt night, shortly after 10 o'clock, causing more loss and injury to property, and far more Iom of life, than the cyclone a year ago. The first shock was by fur the "more so vere. It effect can tie judgod by the ex periences of Capt. Dawson, of the News, who lives in a massive brick residence on Bull street, near Rutledge. He was in his room in the second story when the first shock occurred. The bonne seemed to rise and turn on its axis. The second and third shocks were less severe than the first. The air was filled with cries and shouts of women and children. From every side of that neighborhood came the cry, "Help us!" "God save us!" etc. It was worne than the severest bat tle of the war. When the first agony was over it was lound thut the ceilinu of every room in the house was cracked ; the big ceiling was torn apart, and a tank in the at ic was pouring its flood of water in the bed rooms, in the parlors articles had been wrenched from their bases and thrown to the floor. In the hall a massive lamp had been turned around. In front of the house was a large porch with heavy pil Ur and marble steps. All this was swept away as thuueh it had lieen shaved off with a razor, vv hat was Caul. Daw son's experience was that of hundreds of others in Charleston. There were five shocks, decreasing in violence from the first. Sidewalks and streets were dotted with mothers, wives, and daughters, with their pro ectors, awaitine in anxious expectation still an other aaonv. The air was thick with horror and "rumors, and the lurid glare of fire but Lightened the general ruin. Three or four fires started in as muny sections with the first shock, and very soon the town was illuminated with flames, thus leading all to lielieve that what was left by eartliimake would be devoured bv fire. However, the fire de- imrtment was so well divided and ban died that the flames were under control bv daybreak. Fully 125 to 150 residences and stores were consumed. As far as could be ascertained during tlio ; lit f.f!n twentv were killed and a much greater wounded in all sorts of ways. The loss of human life will be great and it will take a day or t wo to get the accurate number. Shocks equally se vere wore felt at a distance of thirty-five miles, and Lave done iuestimable dam age to railroads and telegraph property. CharlesUm is now entirely isolated from the outside world. Not to exceed UK) houses in the city are occupied at this time. People are camped in opeu places. AH stores are closed, and a scarcity of provisions is feared, because no one can be got to go to the stores to sell them. Hardly a house in the city escaped in jury, and many were so damaged and cracked that a hard blow would bring t them to the ground. Owing to the demoralized condition of " everything here it is impossible to give correct facts, further than this: The number of casualties has not been ascer- tained, probablv thirtyor forty killed and over 100 injured. The los to property will nrohabiv reach from M.OOO.OOO to ' 10,(K)0,000. Three-fourths of the build f inge in the city will have to be rebuilt. (There was very little shipping in port, and none of it was injured. The disturb- 1 anens have not affected the water in the 1 harbor, although it is unknow n that all the shocks came from an easterly direc tion, and therefore from the sen. There are no signs of a tidal wave as yet. . lUtilroud Hridge lluriw-d. I Leavenworth, Kept. I. The bridge spanning the Missouri, at Fort Leaven . worth, was burned to-night.

THE OKKAT QI AKE, CharktttoD Announce thut She 1 again I Keady for liualnena. - Charleston, Sept. 3. The News and Courier has an article declaring the city I will begin bravely to repair her fortunes. It says: "Let it not be imagined for a ; moment that Charleston is sitting in her ashes, bewailing her loss of millions. A full consciousness of the loss is here. It is understood fully that fur more than the i earnings of twelve months were swept away in less than a minute; but, for all this and because of that, Charleston i9 only the more determined to maintain the commercial position it has won, and is fortunately so situated as to be able, as well as ready, to deal successfully with eveiy department of trade and every branch of business." Appeal is made to the city council for monetary assistance in the form of an appropriation, but the Courier advises those who extend aid to confine them selves in so doing to people in circum stances rendering them unable new to help themselves. Very little has been accomplished to ward removing the appearance of deso lation. Every where the eye iB met by heaps of debris of every possible descrip tion brick, stone, plastering, lath, shin gles, lumber, household goods, and build ing material. Whole fronts and sides of buildings have fallen out, leaving the furnishings intact, in some cases. A two story brick building on 8tate street pre sents a curious appearance of this char acter. The lower floor is used for mer chandise, and the upper floor is a resi dence. The whole front fell out, leaving the interior exposed to view. Pictures and mirrors are on the walls, and chairs remain as they were left by the fleeing inmates. Evidently the owner has not gained courage sufficient to warrant his return. The most alarming feature of the pres ent condition of affairs is in the shaky condition of buildings. Nine-tenths of the brick structures are cracked through and through, and threaten to tuinble.and chimnevs that have not actually fallen are badly careened and would fall if touched.

The Bulgaria Attalr. New Your, Sept. 3. T. 1. O'Connor sends the following cablegram from Lon don to the Star : Foreign complications are absorbing public attention, in conse quence of the uncertainty of Russia s in tentions as to the eastern question, as re gards Bulgaria. It is difficult to see how Prince Alexander will hold out against Russian influence. He will probablv have to leave .Bulgaria, to avoid worse treatment than he has lately received The situation is complicated, and Alexau der is injured by violent anti-Kussian articles of the English patient. Many of the leading journals, usually pacific in tone, have suddenly developed into rabid Jingoism. A Startling- Crime, Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 5. The find ing of a dead infant with a darning nee dle thrust through its heart has lad to the disclosure that a regular business of putting babies to death, at so much per head, has been carried on in this city. Mrs. Pauline Mittelstraedt, proprietor of a private lying-in-houne, fled a lew weeks ago, upon ascertaining that the authori ties had gathered evidence criminating her. rihe was overhauled and brought back to-night, bhe confessed to the mur der of the child, and says slio was prom ised $300 by its mother lor pulling it out of the way. J he authorities are investi gating the deaths of numerous other in fants born out of wedlock, supposed to have been put to death by her. Henry George for Mayor. Ntw York, Sept. 4. It is said by mem bers of the Central I.abor union that 40,000 votes have been pledged to Henry (ieorge among the laboring masses, for mayor of New iork. Mr. MehllUng in a Couvent. Nkw York, Sept. 6. Mrs. Victoria Morosiui is at the convent of the Sacred Heart in Montreal. Thero she will re main one year, until her health, whicl is said to be completely shattered, has been renewed, and until the tongues of gossips have tired themselves out. At the end of twelve months she will return to this country, and will be received once again into her father's family. This statement was elicited from a bosom friend of Mrs. Schilling, who, furious at the stories of the young woman's elope ment, determined to set matters on clear footing by telling w hat she knew of the case. The Quake at Sea. Washington, Sept. 4. The Hydro graphic office has received a letter from Captain Leo Voegel, of the steamer City of Pataha, briefly describing the effects of the earthquake at sea. He had just left Charleston, and was about twelv miles off the harbor of I'ort Royal, eight and one-hall mthoins, when he ex perienced a terrible rumbling sensation which lusted one and one-liulf minutes There hud been quite a heavy sea from the F-iutheast, but when the rumbling began the wave motion ceased, and the waters became jierfeetly calm until the noise came to an end, when the swell was again manifest. The wind was southeast and light, weather cloudy, barometer 30.01, thermometer 80. The sensation, C aptain ocgel says, resem bled that upon a ship scraping a pebbly bottom. The ship's vibrations were very great. . Arthur's Condition. I'iiila pelfhia , Sept. 6. The Tress's Boston special says: An old friend of ex-rresldent Arthur who has just re turned from a visit to the distinguished invalid at New London, gives a gloomy view of Arthur's condition. He says the ex president maintains at all times a forced cheerfulness, and still manitests a lively interest in current events and lead ing political questions of the day, dis cussing men and measures with all his old time keenness, yet be soon tires, breathing becomes short, and enforced rest ensues. He has lost flesh until he is mere shadow of his former self. His robust physique and florid countenance are gone. " He feels the change bitterly, and expressions of sympathy are very cheering to him. They are constantly pouring in from all parts of the country. Arthur reads newspapers with the great est avidity. Any paragraph of a forebod ing kind about himself makes him de pressed and anxious. His attendants ex ercise continued care regarding the con tents of papers taken to him. There 18 little doubt that his illness is a confirmed attack of a dreadful malady, and th.it the inevitable result is only a question ol time. Acknowledgement to the Queen. Washington, Sept. 6. The president has sent the following reply to Queen Victoria's telegram of sympathy for the earthquake sufferers : hxEcrnvE Mansion, I Washington, Sept. 4.( Victoria, aueen and empress.

A Submissive Letter from Alexander to the Cxar, and a Sharp Reply. St. Petersburg, Aug. 30. Prince Al exander sent the following telegram to the czar : "Sire: Having reasenmed the govern ment of Bulgaria, 1 venture to offer to your imperial majesty my most respectful thanks for the action of your consul at Kustchuck, whose omcial presence at my reception showed the Bulgarians that Russia did not approve of the revolution ary act directed against my person. I thank your imperial majesty for dispatch ing Prince Doleorouki as envoy extraor dinary to Bulgaria. My first act on re suming power is to assure your majesty of my firm intention to make every sac rifice to forward your majesty's magnan imous intention to extricate .Bulgaria from the grave crisis through which she is passing." After other lriendly ex pressions, the prince concludes as follows "Russia having given me my crown, it is into the hands of Russia's sovereign lam readv to render it." The war replied to Alexander as fol lows: "I can not approve of your return to Bulgaria, foreseeing from it sinister con sequences for a country already so sorely tried. The mission of Prince Dolgorouki has become inexpedient. I shall abstain, so long as your highness remains in Bui garia, from any intervention, in view of the sad condition to which the country is reduced. Your highness must decide your own course. I reserve to myself to judge what my father's venerated memo ry, the interests of Russia, and the peace of the hast, require of me." A GREAT SENSATION. Pakis, Sept. 2. Publication of the cor respondence between the czar and Prince A lexander has created a great sensation in political circles here. The czar's men acing reply to the prince's submissive epistle is regarded as insuring Alexander's abdication and Russia's occupation of Bulgaria. -It is feared war will follow un less Bismarck intercedes.

It is believed in lenna that the abdication will not deter Russia from attempting to occupy Bulga ria, a proceeding which Austria would not allow.

THE BULGARIAN TROUBLE. :omwntg on the Situation -Jtumon and Notes. London, Sept. 6. The Bulgarian cora- hcation is the most important matter now before Europe, and is exciting great interest with every day of uncertainty. rince Alexander's abdication of the throne is having a very depressing effect on the European stock exchange to-day, and the gravest reports are universally feared. A serious war would not sur prise any one. There is much In the be havior of Russia to show that this is her political object. In addition to the ha tred in which Alexander is held by the imperial family, the czar's enmity toward the prince is due in a great measure to the influence of the czarina, whose an tipathy for him equals the great liking held lor him by the present czar s mother in her hletirae. She lelt the prince, at her death, ,0uu,0iH, which has never yet been paid him, although he has re ceived the interest regularly. Among the rumors afloat to account for the prince 8 unexpected decision to abdi cate, it is said that in a long interview with the Russian consul at hem burg, he persuaded Alexander that by submitting absolutely to the plans of Russia he could be restored to the czar s favor. Over come as he was by nervous prostration, and by the perplexity into which the af fairs of Bulgaria had fallen, the prince assented. TCEKEV PREPARING. Constantinople, Sept. 6. It is rumor ed that, in accordance with advice given by two friendly powers, Turkey is mak ing military preparations on the Asiatic frontier. It is also said orders have been given to supply the army at Erzeroum and on the border with more guns, stores. and munitions. This activity is due to movements on the part of Russia, which is supposed to be making efforts to gauge the military and naval strength of Tur key. A suspicious foreign artist has been seen making sketches of forts outside of Uonstantmopie, and it is thought he was an agent of Russia. It is learned that large contracts have been made on Rus sian account for coal for Odessa, and that a contract has been made to supply 30,- 000 tons of metal plates of twelve inches thickness, and with steel facing, for the Russian arsenals on the Black sea. TUIS DKI OSKI) RtLiiH, He wiw too Knfflish---Alexundei-'n MeoUtl Condition. London, Sept. 7. This from the St James Gazette is the most candid and sensiblo view of the situation in Bulgaria yet taken by any English paper : It no ue pretending that events as they now seem to be shaping themselves are not unfavorable to this country. The correct tone to assume seems to be that it is all Uermany'sbusinesB and Austria's, and of course if those powers are satisfied, we do not mind. No amount of this sort of talk will conoeal the fact that the defeat of Prince Alexander is ostenta tiously asserted in Russia, and believed elsewhere, to be defeat of England. His crime was that lie was too English He slighted the czar and took counsel with Lord Salisbury and Rosebury, and for this he is brought to the dust. Our ally is humbled and our implacable en emy is exalted, and we are to accept it all placidly as being a thing ot no par ticular moment to ourselves. It is just as well to clear our minds of cant and confusion and to acknowledge that Rus sia has succeeded in striking a trench ant blow at this country. ai.exandkr's msntal condition. New York, Sept. 7. The Herald's So fid special says Prince Alexander refuses to see any one to talk, but I spent half an hour to-day with Baron Von Reidesel his adjutant. He says the prince is phys ically prostrated. He has not slept fur fifteen days. Ho lies down, but the ex citement and strain of the present situa tion prevent sleep. His features are terribly drawn and pinched. He will take up his residence, after leaving Bui garia, at xngeuheim, with his father. OUGHT TO KNOW.
