There is an impression abroad that Senators Hoar or Ingalls will be selected to succeed Senator Sherman as president of the senate.

Hany laves Reported Lost.—The Carnival at Nice Broken Up.--Extent of the Shocks. Severe earthquake shocks were felt i throughout France and Italy Wednesday doing much damage to persons and prop ! erty. Associated press dispatches from J Rome says: At Nice houses rocked, I walls cracked, and in some cases frail I tenements were thrown to the ground. I People.rushed from their houses and fell ; upon their knees in the street, praying . for deliverance from sudden death. Vis : itors to the city became thoroughly frightened, and are leaving the place. ■ Many persons were injured bv falling I debris. . The shocks caused an awful surprise to the crowds of maskers returning home from the carnival festivals in their fancy costumes, worn and bedraggled by the night’s exercises and looking dull and dreary under the glare of the early morn ing sunlight. The first shock created an immediate panic. Many casualties were caused by the shocks. The people are panic stricken and the entire population are in the streets. The railway station is beseiged j with visitors who are anxious to leave at the first chance that offers. I At Marseilles the walls of a number of I buildings were cracked. Shocks were I also felt at Leghorn and Milan and several I places in the province of Genoa, Italy. Shocks were felt with great sevt.ily at Savona, near Genoa, and a number of houses' were wrecked and eleven persons killed at that place. Two violent shocks were felt at Tnulon. : The first shock was of 15 seconds dura | tion and the second 12 seconds. ' At Cannes, three shocks were felt at I the same hour. Many persons at that place rushed to the seashore for safety. At Avignon three shocks were exper ienced between six and eight o’clock, j The first shock was very severe and awakened everybody' in the place. Sev eral shocks were felt at Genoa at six o’clock. There are rumors of enormous damage in the mountains, caused by avalanches, I set in motion by the shocks. Horses be ' cams restless and refused to move hours before the event. At Cervo, near Diano Marina, 300 per- I sons were killed by being buried in the i ruins of falling buildings. Railway traf ’. sic is suspended beyond Lavona. Prison ; ers in the government jail at Finalborgo, | alarmed by the earthquake, attempted to | escape, but were overcome by the guards. | The earthquake devastated the whole |of Italian Riviera. At Noli, on the gulf ■ of Genoa, and not far from Savona, °ev | eral houses fell and fifteen persons were killed. Six persons were killed and thirty were injured at Oneglia, also on , the gulf of Genoa. At Diano Marino, i near Oneglia, scores of people were killed : and hundreds were injured. Fully one third of the town was destroyed. IN CORSICA. Two sharp shocks were felt in Corsica. It is reported that several persons were killed at Mentone, where St. Michael’s church was badly damaged and the post office wrecked. An inmate of the con vent of the Holy Sacrament at Nice died i from fright. TUB EXTENT OF TUB SHOCKS. The shocks affected a wide eccentric ; area. The first shock occurred at 6:30 a. m., and the last at 10 p. m. Accounts are vague and conflicting,but there seems > to have been no damage done in the in- ■ land towns. The earthquake was felt throughout Liguria and Piedmont, but the wires are broken and news travels slowly. The people everywhere spent j the night in the open air. The news of the earthquake was at i first disbelieved in Paris. When con ; firmed it caused the greatest sensation. Anxiety over the fate of friends was gen i eral, and the telegraph offices wers soon ; crowded. Light shocks were felt at i Nlmes Privas, Valence, Grenoble and Lyons. The gendarmerie barracks at Mentone collapsed, and several persona were killed or injured. Business is sus pended almost everywhere. Reports from various placos put the total number killed at more than four hundred, and many more fatally injured. LATER NEWS. Further dispatches from the earthquuk • ing district, state that over 2,000 people Iwtve been killed. At Nice the panic has ■ not subsided, and fugitives are fleeing in every direction. The people are afraid j to re-enter their houses and hotels, and i the heights back of the city are crowded with refugees. Two thousand Englisl, American and Russian visitors weie en i camped during the night on elevated ground. Six thousand people have left , the city and started for Paris. Further details received uhow that the i effects are far more serious than was at , first thought. The loss of life and de- struction of property have been terrible. The most startling news comes from Genose Riviera. Over FIFTEEN HUNDRED PEOPLE WERE KILLED in that district. At the village of Bajar do, situated at the top of a hill, a number of inhabitants took refuge in a church when the shocks were first felt. A sub sequent and greater shock demolished the church, and three hundred people, who were in it, were killed. Th de struction of property in sections of Italy visited by the earthquakes was immense and widespread. Fifty' persons were injured at Mentone and one killed; killed two persons and injured ten at Nice; killed four and in jured two at. Bar; killed two and injured twelve at, Bollene. At, Chateau Xetif many were injured. At Savona two houses fell, killing nine persons and in juring fifteen. The total number of deaths reported up to the present writing is about two thousand. Shocks were felt at Parma, Turin and Cosenza. Undulations of the earth, wen 1 noticed at Clataria, in Sicily, at. the foot, of Mount Etna. The center of the disturbance seems to have been in the. province of Nice, on the southeast coast of France. No severe shock has ever been felt in this immediate section before, though the earthquake in Switzerland in 1861 was slightly felt along the coast. The great Lisbon earthquake was also felt, i hough it did no injury. While the center of the last disturb ance was at Nice, the area of the shock "as vast in its proportions. It was felt distinctly in Rome and westward almost to the Spanish coast of the Mediteranean, though no serious damage is reported in any othor locality than in that included in the area of a circle inscribed around Mee, with a radius of about seventy-five miles. SEARCHING THE RUINS. Further Ui-t.ails of the European Eartli qrakc. Heartrending details of the disasters caused by the earthquakes continue to ar rive. At Diano Mariano, a child of twelve years and her father were extri cated from lhe debris, when the lai I,i t expired upon the spot. The survivors at Diano Mariano say that a majority of the victims were killed by the second shock, people having re-entered their houses to procure clothing. The bodies, wrapped in shrouds, lie in the middle of the streets. At Bassano the soldiers are still search ing the ruins. They have rescued twenty'seven persons, all of whom are more or less injured. The people sleep in carriages and improvised places of shelter. B Signor Ganaja, minister of public works of Italy, has visited Bejardo, and attended the funeral of 230 victims of the church cellar, who were buried in a common trench in the cemetery. He also made arrangements for a temporary hos pital for the injured. The relief committees are being organ ized throughout the country, but it is impossible to supply the numerous wants. San Remo is deserted. There were 303 persons killed and 150 injured in that town. Troops have been compelled to keep back, at the point of the bayonet, the crowds of despairing men and women who were impeding the work of excava tion, in their efforts to find missing rela tives. The bodies of the victims of the disaster arc terribly disfigured. The suf ferings of the survivors are great. The supply of provisions and drugs and am bulance apparatus being painfully inade quate. The work of tile rescuers is at tended with considerable danger. In some cases they have been obliged to flee from the battery walls,hough they could hear the groans of the victims bur ied beneath the debris. All the members of the family of the mayor of Bajardo were killed outright. Os another fam ily, consisting of twenty-two persons, named Maestri;!, only a single member, half demented, is left, The half-clothed people are wandering on the seashore ex posed to the inclement weather.
