WASHINGTON, Sept. l.-Majo or Pow
ell, Director of the u. :. Geological
Survey furnishes the information that
observations at Washington showed
the direction of the shocks of earth
quake, Tuesday night, To be "A very
little north of east. and the vibrations
from lis to l20 per minute. This, like
earthquakes i'll general, is attributed
to Internal disturbance, resulting in u
of the earth's crust. The
occurrence of earthquakes in the eas.
tern portion of the United States is
attributed to geologic facts, which are
being carefully studied, and which
indicates that in Georgia and the Car
olinas, Virginia and northWard, there
lie seward tending of the surface,
unquestiOnably connected with sub
terranean movements. 1t may be
whether there has ever
been a general movement on any part
of the earth's surface much more en-.
ergetic or rapid than that now taking
place along the Atlantic slope, and the
com paratiVe immunity from serious
is due more to the less
profound depths of this great displa0e-
ment and the absence of volcanic
vents, than to the absence of great
earth movements.

The continuance of ighting along the Greek
frontier the responsibility for which 1t seems
impossible to settle, must make European
diplomats extremely anxious. The Greeks pro-
fess to be ready for peace, but they still keep
on fighting with or without cause; and the
Russian Minister, at last accounts had not left
Athens If Russia is urging Greece on, the
events on the frontier are easily understood;
but that is an explanation which the Great
Powers naturally are reluctant to accept as
correct.
