THE EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS.

United Frees Aaaooiabiou—By; Eleotrio Telegraph

Christohchch, November 19 The trustees of the estate of the late Mr Hymau Marks telegraphed Mr Robinson today £25 for the relief fund. The settlers appear very much touched ab the general sympathy shown in all parts of the colony arid express gratitade at the manner in which the relief fund has been taken np, as well as ab the offer of the Ohristchurch Ladies' Committee to take charge of the children The damage on the agricultural proper ties away from the township is much more serious than was at first thought. The full extent is difficult to estimate, as the district is large and scattered-. One horse dropped dead from fright, and another trainable animal broke a kg in endeavour* \ log to jump a gate, and had to b<3 destroyed A stable came down on another horse, and !t was some hours before it could be extricated. As so many people are homeless, the i Minister has arranged with Mr Jack to send all available Government tents up from Waipara until the houses can be repaired The earthquake had the effect of showing np a good deal of shoddy work in buildings, more especially in chimneys. The plant In the Cheviot News office was go badly injured that the paper has suspended publication Christchubch, November 20 There haß been no further shocks at Che viot* lb is stated that Government aid may take the form of assistance by repairing buildings. Bricklayers have arrived, and are befog kept busy, WE-LLitrGTOiT, November 20 The Premier of Westralia has cabled to Mr Bidden, expressing regret at hearing of the earthquake, and hopes the agricultural settlement at Cheviot, on which the lata Hon. Joha McKwzietook so much interest, and which all Liberals mußb wish to ace prosper, may not be hopelessly impaired. The Postmaster at Cheviot telegraphed at 8 am, to the Secretary of the General Posb Office:—• lam happy to ba able to report almost an entire discontinuance of shocks since 1.46 and 4 am, At these hours we experienced slight tremor?, bub nothing farther has been felb. The reeidents all enjoyed a night's rest, the first time since j the initial shock.' i The Hon W Hall Jones, in his reporb to i the Premier from ChevioD, says the chief sufferers are men with small holdings up to I 20 acres, their oob houte* being completely destroyed, and they will rfquire some financial assistance..' He in getting tents from the Government works at Waipara :o lend to them. The larger holders will, he tbinke, geb along batter, T*o of the bridges are badly damaged, the timber, 12 by 12, being broken through. Tnese should be pat in hand ab once. vVith the exception of the Bluff road, which he had not yet seen at the time of telegraphing, the rojkdß are not much damaged. If no fur hr shocks ■ occur, the people will soon settle down

H)he earthquake on Saturday morning was fait In the Upper Ashbmton diatrict. In tho A'f )r<3 Forest District the shock was severe, though no damage was done.

ANGLOPHOBIA.

In an article contributed to a contemporary the Rev L M laitt givea a few impressions reoeived while on a brief visit to theOontinent. The trip, he says, has enabled me to under* stand the Anglophobia that is undoubtedly * Vary real quantity amongst the French to day. A courteous people, only once did I receive from the French any insult by reason of my nationality, and that, strangely aneuf?h, was when with Mr tfegg m Strasbourg. We were all making our way to the Cathedral, when a young Frenchman passed us walking rapidly, turned, glared incur facet;, and ejaculating, "Anglais !' m ft tone of breathless contempt, epa.t upon the ground, and before we fully realised the thlagj, was a hundred.yards ahead. [Phis wan the solitary exception to treatment that was more than oourtaout and kind ; but let do mail deceive himself as to the real dislike and hostility that the Preach have as a nation towards the British nation, They hate m !Btesißely,and flatter themselves that, ia tha event of war, they could crumple ue apt They know the Germane are the military masters, and that another Franco German war would simply mean the loss of another province or bm>, The knowledge humble a and gills, and it rather re-estab lishes them m their own conceit and comforts them to pour contempt on the arrogant English and say what .they could do m a w&r ftgaioso us. Personally, I believe that was OQ some pretext or other is a probability. They really despise up, and long for an opportunity of wiping off old scores. 'Ah !' ---■aid one merchant to me,• we do not like to talk about id, bat we cannot fight Germany. It is the first military nation iv the world, bul at you Engliah we all laugh.
