WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Major Powell, Chief
Of the Geological Survey, speaking of Prof
MeGee's displacement" theory to account for
the earthquake at Charleston, says, in an inter
view published to-day: "That is simply theory
which has no scientific virtue at this time am
surprised that Prof McGee should have pub
lished such theory. but am glad that he states
it merely as an idea. This is not the time to
criticise The people down there are in state
of excitement. and will accept almost any ex
PLANTATION. This one should not have been pro-
mugated by a scientist at the present time be-
cause it is valueless There may be some basis
of truth in 1t, however, which further inquiry
will develop"
Major Powell thinks there is nothing to show
volcanic action in this Charleston quake. He
doubts whether there is any truth in the stories
about the streams OF hot water bubbinR up
through the assures of the earth TO some, he
says, the rowing up of blue and yellow mud,
and the presence of sulphurous smells would be
evidence enough of the volcanic origin of the
earthquake; but it does not necessarily follow.
The mud might easily enough have been thrown
up by the contractions or expansions of the
earth, under the influence of the ''seaward
slip described by Professor MCGEE, as, all along
the coast from Richmond through North and
South Carolina, the waters beneath the surface
are strongly impregnated with sulphur
Another scientist connected with the survey
thinks there may have been o "slide" at Charles
ton, but such supposItion would not account
for the effects which are said to have been pro
duced. The descent of the land to the bottom
of the sea is much more sudden at Cape Hatteras
than at Charleston, and the slide, he thinks,
would therefore have been more likely to have
occurred at that point than where Professor Nc
Gee places it.

the building was covered by tin roof, it must
have smoldered and burned long before be-
ing discovered. The valuable machinery
