A correspondent writes from Newchwang on the same dale -

"At about 4.45 pm to-day there was an earthquake at this port, and we fear that further south, in the Philippine Islands or Japan, or perhaps in the of Corea, there must be

singthing dreadful happening. Experiences are described in various ways. One family were lingering over afternoon tea, when the vibration commenced. The table shook as if some one were pushing, chandelier, glass, tea cups, pictures, etc., were tinkling, and the room floor and furniture were decidedly moving, so much so that on the cry. "Earthquake" everyone popped through the window into the garden, where for'n few seconds the ground had a wavy feeling and a looking at the house, the windows venetians and verandal were slightly moving The general feeling was a very uneasy one, two ladies being troubled with incipient sea-sickness. The earthquakes lasted from th seconds to five, minutes and a half. One minute and a half nhy be put down as the average duration, after comparing the experiences of several people, in different quarters of the community.

"We have not heard that any houses fell yesterday. At f,M's Consulate, the Customs, and other residences, the vibration was more or less felt, and people were glad to escape into the open, Natives say that many years ago the Province was often similarly visited, and that is the reason why houses are not built in two stories, and also why the roof is not supported

by the party walls, but by wooden pillars, the bricks being used only to keep out the weather, and built up after the roof is actually put on. There is some sense in this, as should An earthquake cause the brickwork to fall; the roof, being on pillars and independent as it were, would still remain, and the danger to the inhabitants would thus be limited."
