AllTHQUAKE IN NEW ZEALAND OBsea Swayed Violently and Chimneys Toppled Over. Vancouver, B. C., Sept. 16.—The steamship Miowera, from Sydney, brings news of a severe earthquake in New Zealand. At Taupo nearly every chimney was overthrown. Houses swayed violently, hurling crockery from shelves and shifting heavy articles of furniture. The inhabitants were greatly alarmed and camped out all night. wim a voice ui great poW6t (HM 6UI! "Ob Lord, help this sick one!" Tb* hundreds of priests and five thousand pilgrims repeated the cry in unison. Again, louder and with tremendous passion and energy, he cried: "OhLord, heal this sick one," the crowd taking up the Invocation as before. As the procession moved down the line of wagons, and repeating this supplication before each one, the excitement became painful in its Intensity. The patients grew trended with anxiety and hope. The nonlsst and most indifferent man in the world could not have remained unmoved. I have seen and felt similar waves of emotion at camp meetings and revivals, bat they bad not the added force of this writhing mnMQf praying, beseeching, despairing ana noping human suffering. A Patient from America. A* I was crossing the plaaa after tbii acene from one of the dispensing wagons I heard by name called. It was occupied by a lady, and was drawn by her son, a student at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York. Both bad recognised me, having heard me speak in New York. She said that the doctors at home had told her that science and skill could do nothing for her and she must make herself as comfortable as possible until the end, which was only a few months off. So she had come to Lourdes with faith and hope. I asked the grounds of her hopes and she said: '"Why a miracle was performed this afternoon before your eyes. I>id you not see it? That was the cause of the great excitement." This was hsr story. A Keinarkable Caae. A young girl who was staying at the same hotel as he did had been unable to walk or put her foot on the ground for six years. She had suffered frightful pain and screamed with agony when dipped in the icy water. She had been bathed six successive days and after the procession passed that afternoon had called out that she was cured. I said to the medical student: "What do you know about this?" He said that he had seen the knee bandaged at 13 o'clock that day. It was swollen badly and he had counted twenty-eight running sores from which the matter was exuding in a sickening way. I told him that I must see that girl. The pilgrims were mobbing the verification room, to which she had been taken, to see or touch her, and the attendants were doing their best to keep them out and get them away. My medical guide, with true New York audacity, called out: "The distinguished Dr. Chauucey M. Depew wants to see the patient." Instantly a way was cleared and in a few minutes I was inside. The girl was not there, having been carried home to escape the orowd. Verified by an English Doctor. t There was an English doctor and I appealed to him. He said that he had dressed the leg at noon. It was swollen, suppurating and incurable ; that be had chl the bandage off a half hour before and tho leg was hejilea aj»d the girl could ttalk, atta he shotvea me the cut bendage. It was about two feet long and hi d been slit with a knife from top to bottom. I then insisted that I must see the girl. About 8 o'clock that evening my student acquaintance came to my hotel with a message that she and her friends would be glad to see me. My son and I started off instantly. I found a yonng lady about seventeen years old with a sweet, Innocent, happy face. A Pussier for |Dr. Depew. She told her story substantially as I had heard It and that she had been unable to walk a step in six years. I asked her if she could walk now, and she went several times around the room, limping some, but with no apparent pain. I then ventured to request a sight of the knee. Her friends said certainly. The knee seemed quite normal. The flesh and muscles were firm and natural. Black spots marked the places where the running sores had been, but the sores were healed, and healthy skin and not scales over them. I have little faith in modern miracles, but this case puzzled me. Of course its weak point so far as I am concerned is that I did not Bee her before the alleged cure. The testimony, however, of the New York medical student, of his mother and of the English doctor was clear and positive. They might have been deceived, or tried to deceive me, though neither seems probable. Certainly I never had a more remarkable experience, and I leave the case with friends Just where I found and left it. DUN RAVEN'S STATEMENT. F"AL_L_ GOODS Senator Thurston Convalescing.

"*> New York, Sept. 18.—Chauncey M. Depew, who returned yesterday on the Paris from an extensive visit in Europe, gave the press a lengthy account of his experiences abroad, the most Interesting part, probably, being that of his observations at the shrine of Lourdes: Being near Lourdes while in the Pyreneee, said Mr. Depew, I paid a visit to the world-famous shrine. The vllage church stands on a high hill, and cm one side is a precipice running down to the river obout 300 feet. At the bottom is a .grotto, such as are common in the rocks in that region, about 100 feet deep, irregular and rough in shape. The legend of the place is, that' iu 1358 the Virgin appeared to a child in this grotto with promise of healing for the sick and a fountain burst forth, the waters of which have miraculous power. Faith in this has built broad highways along the river and over the hills for the pilgrims to march, constructed two splendid roads from the plain to the church enclosing withi n the arches on which they are carried a broad plaza, and under the terrace of the first landing a basilica for thousands of worshipers. Rottcs .Lieft by the Healod. Every foot o( the walls of the basilica and the church is covered with Blabs on which the persons placing them have recorded their cares or some special blessing received. Over ana around the grotto hang thousands of cratches and snrgical appliances for supporting the bodywiilch have been left there by the heated. Alongside the grotto is a bathing piaoe with four bath tubs filled with icecold water from the spring. Into this thepatientsare plunged, no matter what their disease or deformity. I was told over twelve hundred were dipped the day I was there. They are plunged into the water and instantly taken out under constant and loud supplications for their healing. Mtyht Scenes Wonderful. I At night the sights and scenes are wonderful. Thousands bearing torches and singing hymns are marching over the winding roads. Other thousands are on their knees in the spaoe in front of the grotto praying, singing and imploring the Virgin for help. Hundreds upon hundreds of candles flicker and flare in the grotto and send a weird light upon the white-robed statue of the Virgin which stands just above. In the after-; noon a vast procession forms at the grotto and marches along the river,turning into the plasa as it passes the point; where the road rises from the plain upon the arches to the church. On one side I of the plasa were placed In a row some I hundreds of little wagons each holding I an incurable sufferer* The sight of these lg|(li)|iiL#f4, except by miracle, hopeand children in every |gg uving death, is express. reached MM Jr ktj OPENING NO.
