Peking, Sept, 25.

The centre was probably in the Changhsion 100 miles'
of Lanchow. Owing to bad communications, details of the damage done by the quake are stilt scanty but, while there was cone siderable lose of life and property, seems certain that the calamity does not approach that done by the terrible earthquake experienced in the same region a few years ago—Reuter.
