In other words, where foreign na

the statute w ill not be elastic, but w ill

But where nations

ment than the earthquake o f last
camber, which destroyed Messina,
gioan d other cities; laid waste many
villages in Calabria, and killed 200,000
persona.
Although tha shocks today had no
aoch terrible consequences, tha 26,000
residents o f tha city were thrown Into
terror. They ran into the streets panic-
stricken, and last night nearly the en
tire population encamped in the open
places, fearing to return to the struc
tures that have served them aa boms*
since the city was destroyed.
Ths
broken walls o f the old ruins ware
thrown to tha ground, and Meaaina was
for a fe w minutes smothered in a cloud
o f dust
Tha casualties were few , and tha
only persona killed, ao fa r aa known,
ware a young woman and her child.
The woman had come hero only a . few
days ago, and bad settled in rooms that
the great earthquake had le ft ondam-
aged.
The first shock waa followed quiekly
by a second shock, and tha people fled
pellmell . to the American quarter,
which they seamed to feel waa their
safest place o f refuge. So great waa
the rush to the American houaea that
the authorities were unable to check
the invasion.
The soldiers soon draw a cordon
around the square and a guard was
mounted at the bridge leading to it.
Many o f the panic-stricken people ware
driven off, and orders were iaooed that,
pending further instructions, no one
should be permitted
occupy the
American quarter.
A ll commerce eeaaed in the city and
the placet o f business along the sea
front were closed.
R eggio suffered almost aa severe a
shock aa Meaaina, but no casualties
have been reported at that place.
The seismic disturbance waa fa it at
Taormina, but no damage waa done
there. Within 24 hours the shocks at
Messina numbered 23.
