FREQUENT EARTHQUAKES.

Spot I'm California Stunned by Every
one because of It's Instability.
There is place in California where
earthquakes may be said to be kept on
tap" said Fresno county fruit grow
er recently. "The spot is at the head
waters of the Keweah, at the border
of Fresno, Tulare and Iuyo counties.
You can't hire an Indian or Mexican
to go near that locality. They say it
is the home of the evil spirits. The
country is rugged and rocky-moun-
tains with deep valleys and precipit-
GUS cliffs. Snakes, scorpions, taran-
tulas, centipeds and all sorts of hid
eous reptiles and insects seem to have
made the neighborhood their paradise,
for they are there in very palpable
abundance.
But, in addition to these attractions,
the region may be said to be in state
of perpetual earthquake. The ground
trenbles and quakes continually, and
the rocks themselves seem to be grind
ing and grating against one another
constantly, as il subject to some great
internal force. These phenomena are
said to be more emphatic at night than
in the daytime. Frequent booming
discharges, apparently deep in the
Searth, are heard, and men who have
heard both say they are exactly like
the mutterings of distant artillery. 1
have never heard anyone advance any
theory to satisfactorily explain this
uneasy and perpetually disturbed cone
dition of nature among the Keweah
rocks and hills, but it is there. If you
ever happen to be in that vicinity, ask
the first Indian you meet to guide you
to the spot and see how quickly he will
shy away and disappear"

Every piece of work done for the
City Of London has this stipulation:
The trades union price shall govern
all wages paid" Nearly all work ia
done directly by the city: the men Sc
lect their own foreman, who gives
bond, and receives only the same
wages as the others, the city looking
to him as security for the class Of
work done. The lowest bid from
contractors for sewer in York
road, London, was $4,000. The city
did the work itself for $4,000 and
paid $1.75 day, when the contract.
or paid $1.25 for similar work.

Coal Not a Munitlon Of war.

In time of war q neutral may allow
a belligerent's warship to enter its
ports, and may give it water and pro-
visions enough to let it reach it's own
nearest port, but it may not provide
munitions of war Coal originally was
not "munition of war;" because when
the principle of international law be-
came settled there were no steam yes
sells, Probably man-ofwar could OBJ
tain coal enough to enable her to reach
her nearest home port by the nearest
route; she certainly could not get any
more.

SALISBURY ON SILVER.

gives the following On the silver sltu-
alton: u#.
Col. John Hay, the United States
Ambassador, and the officials OF the
British Foreign Office decline to fur.
nish the press with the text Of Great
Britain's reply to the suggestions Of
the United States Monetary Com
missioners, through the Foreign Of
flee people say it is in substance iden-
tical with the dispatches of Saturday
last, giving the result Of the meeting
of the British cabinet and that the
communication sent yesterday to the
commissioners through the United
Stntes Ambassador was practically a
reiteration of the statement on the
subject already made. A similar re-
ply has been sent to the French EN-
bassy. ......... ... ...... ...
The United States Commissioners
recognize that their mission has been
unsuccessful, though they will not ad-
NIT it, as the answer of Great Britain
says that country will be glad to re-
ceive other propositions and the COM
missioners have decided as a matter
of form to return to France and con-
suit the French Government as to
whether fresh proposals are desirable
or not. But it is not expected that
anything will result from their visit to
France.
The Marquis Of Salisbury in his
note to the United States AMBUSH
dor and to tie French Ambassador,
Baron Decouriel. says that by far the
most important proposal submitted
is that concerning the re-opening of
the Indian mints. He adds:
"The Government of India poin ts
out that they can hardly be expected
to give up a policy which for four
years they have been endeavoring to
make effective, in the absence of sub
stantlal security that the system to be
sub slit uted for it is practically GER
tain to be stable. If. owing to the
relative smallness of the area over
which the bimetallic system is to be
established, to the great divergence
between the proposed ratio and the
present gold price of silver or to any
other cause, the legal ratio of silver
were not maintained, the position Of
silver might be much worse than be-
fore and the financial embarassmerts
OF the Government of India greater
than any with which they have as yet
had to contend"
The reply then adds that even If
these reasons are not strong enough,
the Indian Government could not be
expected to reverse policy which
has only been on trial for four years
and concludes:
@aer Majesty's Government is
therefore DESTROYS to ascertain how
far the views Of the French and
American Governments Lave been
modified by the decision arrived at
and whether they desire to proceed
further with the negotiations at the
present momant.
at is possible that the time which
has lapsed since the proposals were
put forth in July last may enable the
representatives of the two Govern
ments concerned to form a more dc
curate estimate than was then
practical Of the amount of assistance
they say they expect from other pow.
ers and Of the success their scheme is
likely to attain. The Government
will then be placed in position to
consider the subject with fuller
knowledge than they now possess of
the circumstances materially OBJECT
ing the proposals for Them"

While every one feels the upl.ft of the wave of prosperity, there yet re mains something more to come in this part of dhe country before we realize that it is full tide Butt in the case of Kansas there is no room to doubt that the flood of good times has com3 in all it's force.
 The figures of the harvesting of the agricultural crop in that state show a yield of 100000 bushels of wheat, most of which has been marketed at prices giving a money value of $34,- 100000 for this crop alone Other az riculturad and live stock products bring the total of this branch of in dustry up to $230, ,0O0, ,OoO for the year.
 Comparing fhis with the year pre- ceding and it appears that the farm CTS of Kansas are some S20, 1000, ,00O ahead of their profits of 1896. As the population of Kansas is only about 100000, there is enough to go round and make every one feel prosperous

EUROPE TO HEAR SOUSA.
A Tour of Great Britain, France ana
 Germany Planned

John Philip Sousa has arranged to visit Europe next year at the head of his band. Just a year ago, while on a vacation tour, Mir. SOusa con- ducted the brass section of the Phil harmonic orchestra, of Berlin, at a complimentary concert arranged in his honor, and the success he achiev- ed in the German capital convinced the American composer and leader that there was field for his band in Europe.
 "Yes, I am going to Europe with my band next summer said Mir. Sousa yesterday. ''The trip will ce- cupy fourteen weeks, and we shall sail from New York on Wednesday, May 25, returning early in September. 1 go abroad under the direction of an English company organized expressly for the purpose of exploiting my hand. The American representative of this company is B. R. Reynolds, who was until recently general manager of the Long Island railroad, and of the Man haitian Beach enterprise. He will be general manager of the band and it's tours. Henry Wolfsohn will manage the tour tin Germany and Austria. We shall open in London on June 8, 1898, and devote five weeks to tour of England, Scotland, Wales and Ire land. Then we shall have one week in Paris and Brussels, followed by six weeks in the principal cities of Ger many and Austria, beginning with Berlin. The tour will extend as far as Vienna and Buda. Pest.
 'fMy band for the European tour will consist of sixty musicians, and they will form a representative Ame-- ican organization. George Frederic Hinton will accompany me to Europe as business manager, and Frank Chris'tianer will remain in charge of the New York office of the band and the booking of it's American tours 3

AMONG THE SPORTSMEN.

Our friend McIlhany, is after the cracker-jack in Kansas. At Galena Kan, November 26, he won the Vol gast medal, an elegant solid gold watch charm, with eight diamonds sunk on one side and raised live bird embossed on the ether side, inscribed "Live Bird Championship of State of Kansas" This is, I believe, the third time McIlhany has held this trophy. It was in his possession al the time he moved to Phoenix, al which time he surrendered it on ac. count of his removal, and on his re- turn went after it again with the above result.
 At the last regular shoot at Jerome the following scores were made:
 First event, 30 singles, regular prac tice-O. Strodhoft, 13; Miller, p Hawkins, "A; Hall, 5; Knoblock, 20 H. Strodhoft, 22; D. Merrill, 15; Cor diner, g; Hooker, Il; HI. P. Merrill. il Mcfarland, 4; R. Dillon, 16.

 SulCdSO IS DO nave d WSCA D ment, commencing the 9th. Prob ably at no one tournament have so many United States championships been shot off as this one will have. Among the others is the Grimm Heikes match for the championship live bird cast iron medal; the Gill bert-Elliott match for the Kansas City Star cup; also the inter-city match be- tween Kansas City and Chicago. It is stated that it will be no gathering of sweepstake shooters to juggle for each others money, but a genuine entanglement of the good ones with nothing but finish wished or possi- ble.
 Ducks are as late in arriving this fall as were the Sonora pigeons in the spring So far there has been scarcely any shooting, although several of the boys have been after them hard. It is reported that the ducks are cong-e- gated by the thousands on Mormon lake, thirty miles from Flagstaff. This being the case we should expect good shooting either the latter part of this month or in January at the latest.
 At the meeting of the Phoenix Gun club on the evening of the first inst, three new members were elected. one of whom, MT. George H. Jones, is we'll known trap shot from Ohio. MT. Jones is spending the winter here and wished to be associated with the club, which shows that he is genuine sportsman, one who will prove a val uab1s acquisition and who will add interest to the sport of trap shooting.
 It was decided at this meeting to hold two days tournament the 29th and 30th of December, one day live birds and one day bluerocks. + is hoped that the boys from Tucson ard Prescott, as we'll as from Jerome and Flagstaff, will be here The railroad rates will be such that the expense Of travel will be very moderate.

OUR COMMERCIAL RIVALS.

The United States cannot afford, and should not agree, to discuss and determine the question of the seas in connection with other subjects in jected by Canada at the recent con ference at Washington.
 The United States, as represented by the party in power today, has cer- tain fixed policies concerning com mercial relations with other countries The administration was chosen by a majority of the voters of the country who believed in and voted for those policies now in full force and opera tion. The question of the seals stands by itself and should be settled as a particular question not involving mat ters of the tariff and reciprocity. The United States can better afford to let Canada stand out against a proper settlement of the matter than to join it with other subjects that can be talk en up separately and settled upon their own merits.
 Canada seems to imagine that it has this country on the hip, so to speak, and it is now attempting to bully this country into granting cer- ter of tariff duties in order that we may secure the proper protection of the seals. The seals themselves, how ever, are of minor importance whsn u,it I,o commercial advantages sought for this country. The people at large will not suffer by the extinction of the seals, but they would suffer if any portion oh their business interests were sacrificed in order to benefit the business interests of Canada.
 The disposition upon the part of Canada and the European countries to attempt to compel us to open our doors for their benefit, and at cur own expense, is impudent We have first of all to look after our own in terests. That is the policy of all na- tions. Therefore when Austria sug- gests that we shall grant concessions in order to extend the markets of the Europeans it is simply an effort up on its part to advance its own inter ests. That is the unquestioned right of Austria or any other country. At the same time it is ridiculous to sup pose that we are Ito be forced into any scheme that would cut into our mill lions of workers. Canada and Aus tria and the rest may as we'll make up their minds that so long as tn party representing the Nrue welfare of Americans is in power in this coun- try the first and only effort will be to advance those policies that bring the most to our own people.
