American astronomer who is now in Peru,
suggests that the shock experienced there
may have travelled all the way from Cali

The origin of the disturbance seems te

from San Diego to Arequipa is over 4 SOC
miles. The shock must accordingly have
travelled through the earth at the rate OF
more than ZOO miles an hour.
1t seems at first sight improbable that an
earthquake should extend so far. but
equally extraordinary instances are on rec

felt all the way from TERRA del Fuego to

"East of Puget Sound the land that car
be farmed is practically all taken. but wes
of the sound is the great Olympic PENN
sula, until lately almost uDinhabited, an
even now but little known" says Julian
Ralph, talking about Washington State in
Ruper's MagaztsM
''It has not been surveyed. Out of the
heart of it rise the eternally snow-clad
Olympic Mountains On their sides roam
the elk, black bear, cougar, and other more
or less noble beasts. Over the earth is
mass Of timber, and at its feet a
jungle. Fir, spruce and white cedar
are in the woods, and in the many
waters wild-fowl abound Frost is said not
to know the country. On the Pacific coast
side are many valleys, and some small prai-
ries. In this absolutely new country the
homesteaders are appearing in such num-
bers that it is said that between 700 and 800
settlers went in there last year to pre-empt
the lands along the streams and on the
prairies There, entireley cut off from the
world, they will wait until the lands are
surveyed, and they can file their claims.
''They believe that railroad from Gray g
Harbor or Shoalwater Bay to the strait tf
Juan de Fuca will soon be built past all
their holdings. 1t is likely, for, in addi-
tion to the timber, that is the best dairy
country in the State. AS one citizen put
it, they have more rain than we on the
east of the sound. but the presence of water
has never yet been considered an objection
in the dairy trade. ;"

Spare Moments.
Fish that live in deep water have no eyes
at all or very large ones. As we go down
in the water we find at each depth that the
effects produced upon the eyes of fish are
steadily progressing in one direction or the
other.
Species that live at depth of 80 fathoms
have the eye already good deal bigger
than their nearest representatives. that live
at or near the surface. Down to the depth
of 200 fathoms daylight disappears, and the
eyes get constantly bigger and bigger. Be-
yond that depth small-eyed forms set in,
with long feelers developed to supplement
the eyes. Sight, in fact, is here beginning
to atrophy.
In the greatest abysses the fish are mostly
blind, feeling their way about entirely by
their sensitive bodies over the naked sur
face of rock at the bottom. Some of them
have still external relics of functionless
eyes; in others, the oldest and most con-
firmed abysmal species, the eye has alto
gether disappeared externally, though it's
last representative NAV still be discovered
imbedded deep in the tissues of the head.

NJ. H. Danziger, of this city, is prisoner
on the quarantined vessel, Normannia, at
New York. In a letter to his business
partner he says the existence of cholera on
board ship was kept from the cabin passen-
gers until the frequency of deaths in the
steerage made it impossible to keep the
secret longer from the cabins. The excite
ment has since been intense and number
of passengers have offered $4,000 to be
landed safe from contact with the steerage
occupants, but without success. Mrs.
Harry Schmidt and Miss Bertha Fuhrer, of
this city, are other Pittsburgers on the
Normannia- Samuel Firestone and David
Rosenberg, OF McKeesport were also pas
sengers.
Miss Esselius, the Swedish teacher at the

home and sailed from Hamburg expecting
to reach this city Monday.

WORSE THAN REPORTED.

A Chicago Doctor Says Europeans Are Ter
rified by the Cholera-He Does Not Ex-
pect an Epidemic in This Country-The
Conditions Different
DR.. d. r. Brewer, of Chicago, was on the
limited last evening returning home from a
seven weeks visit to Spain. He says he
interviewed English and French physicians
about the cholera, and they frankly ad-
niitted that the disease in its worst form is
ia st becoming epidemic on the Continent.
Tie doctor says the Europeans are terrified,
and half about the situation has not been
told
'.In France said DR.. Brewer, "they
call the disease cholerine. This is the old
difference between tweedIe-dum and
twee ile-dee. The new name is given to
cholera Asiaticus to allay the fears of the
trans-continental travellers. In the Conti-
mental Hotel in Paris 1 found 500 English
speaking guests 1 remarked to the clerk
that cholera was IN the city. He indig-
nantly denied it, and SAID the London
Tames in which / had read about
1t was a lying sheet. The clerk
added that cholorine was not
cholera. However, the doctors talked to
were honest, and said it was the Asiatic
scourge. 1 was told by men who were
posted that the disease was working terrible
havoc in Hamburg The disease is a good
deal worse than reported.
II came over on the Umbria, and was
quarantined in New York for 12
hours. The Government and the
city authorities are taking
great precautions to keep the disease out OF
the country. l expect to hear of some
isolated cases here and there, but 1 do not
foar ic oil n In
for cholera to gain foothold in the States.
We do not have so many poor people here,
and our sanitary arrangements are much
better than in European cities. Our people
do not live in such crowded quarters. In
Hamburg the poor are jammed together in
a small space, and they are not able to cope
with the disease"

So Far as Heard from the Combine Wins
in Only Ono County.
LITTLE ROCK. ARK, Sept. 6-Oficial
and unofficial returns of yesterdays cleo
tions have been received from 80 counties,
giving Democratic majorities ranging from
25 to 1000. The only Republican majority
is reported from Jefferson, which
is 400. 1t has heretofore given 800
Republican majority. Partial returns from
Crittenden, Republican stronghold in
Eastern Arkansas, give Democratic ma
Jority of 200. In some towns in Western
Arkansas, Whipple and Carnahan, Repub-
lican AND Populist candidates for Governor,
failed to receive any votes. This city will
give majority OF over 700 for Fishback.
The majority for Fishback in 80 counties
and this includes five counties in which
there is large negro yote-is II, 800.
1t is impossible to correctly estimate the
majority Fishback will receive on account
of the popularity of the vote. The failure
to rally the negroes and their refusal to
vote have nonplussed the political math-
ematicians The result is the expression of
Arkansas voters who are able to read and
write, the Australian ballot system having
kept from the polls those who were unable
to prepare their own tickets and were un-
willing to acknowledge their ignorance by
requesting the judges to scratch their bal
lots for them.

TALK OF THE TICKET.

Chairmen OF All tho Political Parties Meet
Secretary Harrity-The Form Of the
Baker Ballot Blanks Submitted for Con-
sidcration.
HARRISBURG, Sept. 6-lspecial. IA
conference OF Chairmen Wright, Reeder,
Patton and Thomson, of the State Demo-
cratic, Republican, Prohibition and Peo-
Piles party committees. respectively, with
Secretary Harrity, to consider prescribed
form Tor the ballot to be used under the new
ballot law was held at the State Department
to-day.
II. ii. Ames, of Williamsport, Chairman
of the sub Committee of the State Prohi-
bition Executive Committee on the new
bdllot law, and a Pittsburg lawyer named
Burrows, representing the Labor Reform
party, were also present, and Ames con-
tended that the ballot sent ont
to the County Commissioners last
spring by Secretary Harrity does
not conform with the requirements of sec
candidates. They claimed that the law
means that each group should have head
ing, instead of placing the heading at the
top of the whole ticket; that to vote the
ticket as 1t now stands would invalidate all
of the ticket except the first group
They also contended that each group
should be followed by blanks for the inser-
tion of other names, instead of placing the
blanks at the right-hand column of the ticket
as was done in the ticket sent ont With re-
gard to the headings of the tickets gotten
out on the official ballot by nom-
ination papers, the Prohibitionists
claimed that under section 8
of the law, which states that "the party or
policy which such candidate represents be
expressed in not more than three words,
the Legislature must have intended that
the ticket should have been named on the
nomination papers. Since this information
is for the Secretary of the Commonwealth,
he would be bound to transmit this on the
ticket to the county commissioners of the
various counties.
Chairman Wright sustained the present
form of ballot, and took very little part in
the discussion. The views of those who
took exceptions to the ballot was that if the
present form will not invalidate the ticket
or any part of it, it would be better to re-
tain it and use it as it is, than to change it
at this late date.
Before the conference closed Secretary
Harrity stated that he would give the mat
ter careful consideration and report in a
few days.
Prior to the conference nomination papers
we're filed bv State Chairmen Wright and
Patton and Colonel Glenn, Secretary of the
State Republican Committee. Chairman
Patton filed for the Prohibition party nom-
ination papers for Presidential electors,
Congressmen-at-large, and Justice of the
Supreme Court. The nomination papers
contain 1900 names He also filed num-
ber of Congressional and Senatorial certii-
Gates.
