C, Sept. 3 There is no special change in the situation this morning, but as there were only two shocks, and very light ones, during the night, there is a little more confidence . atna . a . tnan yesterday, ihe sympatnetio ar ticles in the newspapers and offers of aid irom dinerent quarters are a great en couragement to the stricken people of Charleston. The moat urgent need now is for the early 'repair of the injured buildings so as to make them habitable. High winds and heavy rains would bring many shattered buildings to the ground and injure hundreds of resi dences which have defective roofs. It would be of great service if a corps of government engineers could be sent here at once to examine the houses and other buildings and determine which of them can be ; safely occupied or allowed to stand. The local arch itects haver their hands more than full. The President has authorized the secretary of war to send here a hun dred tents, but more than that number are needed. It is reported that there was a severe shock at Summerville this morning, but the report is not yet au thenticated. Many representatives of the leading journals are here to write up and photograph the city. ' Nw York, 8ept. 3. The following bulletin has been received by the West ern Union telegraph company: Cqablkston, S. C, Sept. 3. 4 'No one at the Mills house was in jured. All the guests and other occu pants are safe, but it is difficult to find them, ' they being camped somewhere in the streets. The people this morning have apparently thrown off their fears and gone to work, clearing up the debris and removing the dangerous walls. The city 6lows a scene of great activity. Charleston, S. C, September 3. The situation of affairs here this morn- vised tents, constructed principally of bed clothing, are to be seen everywhere. ew persons have as yet slept m-doors, and the houses' are deserted as if phgue-stricken. : Thousands have slept with nothing but the canopy of heaven above them. After the parks and nub- io squares were filled last night the in habitants suspended overcoats, bed quilts etc , from the fences over the sidewalks and thus passed the night. Many en joyed repose under open umbrellas, the handles of which were stuck in the ground. The more aristocratic people camped in their yards.The colored people 88 y they will not return to their homes until at least another sight has. been passed, and they may be seen taking their oeffee and eating their dry bread beside the places where tbey slept. On the whole, however, it may be said that heir corn den co is returning, and should theie not be a re-visitation of the earth quake Charleston will be in her usual bustle of business within twenty-four hours, although inconvenience and de- ay will be experietced for months to come. This morning's News and Courier an nounces in doubie-'eaaea neaa-itnes that "Charleston is ready for business, despite the earthquake and its ravages." That "the warehouses give ample ac commodation, the wharves axe in excel- ent condition, the compresses are up to their work, and the merchants and factors, undaunted by their misfortune, have girded ' up their loins anew for the battle of commercial life." Continuing, it says: "Charleston, we say, is as well able as ever to contract for any business that can be obtained and is as ready to give customers from every part of the- country the commercial fa cilities they require and the attention and good faith they have the right to expect. Let it not be imagined, for a moment, that Charleston is sitting in her ashes, bewailing the loss of her mii- Hot s. A full consciousness of her Igbs is here. It is understood fully that far more than the earnings of the past twelve months was swept away In less than one minute. But for all this, and because of this, Charleston is only more detcrmincM 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 every department of trade and every branch of business." An appeal is made to the city council for monetary assistance in the form of an appropriation, but the News and Courier admonishes those who extend aid to1 coo fine themeelves in so doing to people in circumstances or conditions rendering them unable now to help themselves. Very little has been ac complished up to this writing to relieve the city of its appearance of deeolation. As the eye takes in the length of the streets, it is met by heaps of debris of every possible description brioks. stone, plostering, laths, shingles, lum ber, and household and office lurmture. and all kinds of building material, in a m(8. Whole fronts or sides of build ings have fallen out, leaving furnish ings in some instances intact. A two- story brick building, on State street, between Broad and Chalmers, presents an inter, sting appearance of this description, ihe lower floor is used for merchandise ; the upper floor as a residence. The whole front fell out, leaving the interior exposed to view. The pictures and mirrors are on the walls, and the chairs remain as they were left by the fleeing family. The beds are untouched. The gas is turned on and the view of the store room is at it was when the first shock came. Evi dently the owner has not gained oour age enough to warrant his return. The most alarming nature of the present 1 i m rr a ? .1 1 conaition 01 anairs rests in ine shaken condition of the buildings. Nine-tenths of the brick structures are cracked through and through and threaten to tumble. Chimneys that have not ac tually fallen are badly careened and would fall if touched. A reporter who has 'made a tour of that portion of the city most disastrously damaged states that the structures damaged are mostly fifty years and more of age. Not a single substantial building was seen which had suffered materially from tho shock. Until some time has elapsed and confidence shall have been fully restored, most of the shattered buildings will not be re-entered, as a shock at this time would be more disastrous than all of those which have already been ex perienced, and the buildings oould easi ly be shaken to atoms. An examination of the materials from the wrecked structures shows them to have all been frail. The Charleston and one or two of the other leading hotels have begun to reoeive guests, although but a small portion 01 the houses are in condition to be occupied. Inquiries oontinue to pour in from friends of Charlestonians in different parts of the country, con cerning their .life... The search for th dead is progressing, but it is believed that all the bodies have been f und. This morning the employes of the Southern telegraph company returned to their commodious main office on Broad street, cleared up their delayed work and resumed the service. Charleston, Sept. 3. At a joist meeting of the Charleston exchange and merchants' exohange to-day the follow ing was unanimously adopted : .To all exchanges and commercial bodies: Oar banks, warehouses, cotton presses, wharves, railroads, rice mills and every thing else necersary for handling busi ness, though damaged, are m working order. We fear no further disturbances. The destruction of property will cause great distress and suffering but will not interfere with the dispatch of business. A. W. Taft, Pres. Charleston Exchange. : B. BOLLMAN, Pres. Merchants' Exchange. . A joint meeting also adopted resolu tions to apply to the President and Con gress for a national loan, to aid the citi zens of Charleston in relieving the city. Ihe city council today adopted tho following: ; Resolved, That in response to numer ous oners of assistance and sympathy from our sister cities and from the citi iens of this and other States, the mayor is authorized to state that great distress exists among our citizens in consequence of the earthquake and that we grate fully accept the aid thus tendered us. Several Catholic churches have been seriously injured. The cathedral chapel will not be used for services Sunday. A temporary altar will be erected on the cathedral grounds, where tho congregation will attend mass. The repairs will be made as soon as the con dition of affairs will admit. The Cath olic schools have ail been injured. The academy of Our Lady of Mercy, the Central school, ani St. Philip's school, St. Mary's school and St. Philip's school have sustained such damages as ill not permit of studies being re sumed, ib announoed. The convent of the S'ste:s of Meier was also darn ed. The sisters and chil dren have all been camping cut. St. Francis Xavier infirmary was very badly damaged and there were several providential escapes. The Epis copal residence is rendered uninhabita ble. The clergy who were in the build ing during the shock had a miraculous escapt and have since been the guests of .he brothers of the Sacred Heart and have camped, with a large portion of the congregation, on the cathedral grounds. The Catholic male orphan asylum also suffered, but in no instance loss of life resulted. Churches, schools, as well as the Ep'scopal residence, need immediate repairs to render them habitable and to allow of the conduct of religious ser ines and educational exercises. This mip- iortuneis more keen forlthe reason that on account of the general loss through out the community it will be impossible at this time to obtain here the funds re quired. Any farther information on the subj et will be given by Rev. P. L Duffy, v car-general, 'Charleston. He himself was slightly injured at the time of the shock, but is able to attend to his duties. The Roper hospital is wrecked and will probably be condemned, and the building of the training school for nurses is seriously damaged. The hos pital patients were removed to agri cultural hall. The injury to the county jail is well nigh irreparable. Thirty- six prisoners escaped, six of whom hate returned. Augusta. Ga., Sept. 3. Charleston appeals for immediate aid for the earth quake sufferers. Uol. W.J.

THE QUEEN EXPRESSES HER PROFOUND SYMPATHY FOR TUX SUFFXRSRS BY THK FAMOUS F.ARTU QUAKB. Washington, Sept. 3 Col. R. B. Batohelor, depot quartermaster, has been ordered to Charleston, to issue and distribute tents to the homeless and to render such aid as it may be within the power of the department to extend. The surgeon general of the marine hospital service has authorized the om cers of that bureau at Charleston to se cure tents to replace temporarily the hospital buildings rendered umnhabit able by the earthquake. The following dispatch has been re ceived by cable today from Queen Vio- toria: "To the President of the United States I desire to exDresa mv nrofound svm pathy with tho sufferers by the late earthquakes and await with anxiety for fuller intelligence, whioh I hope may show the effeots to have been less disas trous than reported. Thk QuKfiN." Comptroller Trenholm has received about $200 in subscriptions for the re lief of the Charleston sufferers. Chief clerk Youmans, of the treasury department, by permission of ecting secretary Fairohild, issued a circular letter today, informing the employees that the rule prohibiting the circulation of subscription papers in the department would be suspended in cases of the Charleston relief fund, and the heads of bureaus would be designated to receive subscriptions. Comptroller Trenholm fears that the terrible plight of the people of Sum merville, near Charleston, has been overlooked in contemplation of the greater area c f suffering in the neigh boring city. 11 ! has received two tele grams from that town today. Ihe first was from the local relief committee, composed of John Gadsden, chairman, and Messrs. Gary. Hutchinson, Boyle and Perry, and reads as follows: "Remember bummervilie s distress is very gTeat; prompt rohef, in tents and money, is needed. The second dispatch was sent by F. Fishburne, and says: "Send 300 tents direct to this place Shocks still continue and many families are homeless." The president of the board of district commissioners has issued an address to the public, expressing a desire that all shall be done whioh can be done to manifest the sympathy of this commu nity for the sufferers from the late ter rible disaster in Charleston, and offering to receive and properly dis-ribute con tributions, special performances wili be given in all the prinoipal theatres and places cf amusement in the city, for the benefit of the Charleston sufferers. ljuthtd for Murder. Geikm'illk, Texas, Sept. 3. Drputy sheriff Adair, who was frightfully carved by John Smith, Saturday last, while the cmcer was in pursuit of six prisoners who had escaped from Hunt oounty jail, of which Smith was one, died Wednesday night. Sentinels had been stationed for two days in different parts of the city to give an alarm aa soon ; as Adair should die. One hour after Adair's d ath an armed mob was ou their way to the jail. No resistance was offered. Smith was taken some dis tance from the city and hanged. The lynching was without incident, every thing passing off in an orderly manner. BailDMi Failures.

Hew Trb; OutUtn Futures. Nsrw York, September 3. Green & Co.'s report on cotton futures says: It has been a very slow and to some ex tent an uncertain market In the face of light trading, however, a stubborn degree of firmness was traceable to the reports of a probable deal and the soaroe ness of September in Liverpool inducing light offerings.

The theory that earthquakes are the result of the contraction of the crust of the earth in oooling is sustained by the situation of this earthquake belt, gird ling, the planet as it does on both 1 sides of the equator, -since this is the region where the rind, so to speak, of a fluent body revolving on an axis run from pole to pole would be most attenuated.! This belt-' includes the tropics and those parts of the temperate zones which lie next to the tropics. This is mechanically the line of least resistance. Earthquakes seem to follow the parallels of latitud far more closely than do the isothermal lines. Charleston is in the same lati tude with the islands of the Mediter ranean whioh have been subject fron. classio times and far earlier to seismic disturbances, and this is also the lati tude of Japan,, the country in which earthquakes may almost be said to have become chronic. South of the equator, on tho other hand, and some degrees nearer to it, is the belt whioh insludes both the earthquake-troubled islands of the Indian . archipelago and the earth quake region of South Anaenca. MAJ. P0WXLL, DISXCTOKOr DOTTED 6IAT1S GSOLOOIOAL SUBVXT XPLArUsi " "The explanation of earthquakes usually accepted by geologists is some thing like this: For a great variety of reasons the oonelusion is reached that the earth is enclosed by a solid crust of rock; that this crust rests upon material in a more or less fluid condition, so that it readily yields to agencies of deforma tion, like water or molten iron. I "The interior or the earth is con stantly losing heat in a variety of ways. A small amount is probably being di rectly conducted from the interior to the surface and then radiated into space, and a vast amount of hoat is conveyed from the interior through the agenoies of hot springs, all of whioh is ultimately conveyed into space. Hot Springs abound in almost all portions of the known earth, and in a few districts are very abundant, and through them much heat is conveyed from the interior to the surface. The lavas that are brought up yield vast stores of heat, all of which is lost to the earth through radiation into space. This steady secular oooling of the earth must necessarily diminish its magnitude, and as it springs the solid exterior crust must in some manner yield so aa to conform to the lesser magnitude thui produced." i .a-aar.
