NEW TARIFF BY JULY Is.
Many Senators Concur in Opinion of Its
Speedy Passage.

A dispatch from Washington to the
Philadelphia Record says:
"Mr President" said Senator German
to President Mckinley at Vice-President
Hobart's Friday night, II expect to see
the tariff bill pass the Senate by the Goth
of June.
Similar predictions from other Senators
rejoiced President McKinley's heart, but
this assurance from the leader of the op-
position, whose predictions are usually
accurate, was especially gratifying. 1t
was echoed by Senators very freely at the
Senate Saturday, although some Of them
named the 1st of July as the day when
the bill would go back to the House. All
we're agreed, however, that either by the
lst or the 18th of July the bill would be-
come law.
fit passes the Senate, as Senator Cor
man predicts, within the next fortnight,
he and others expect to see it become a
law by the LIST of July, for no delay in
conference committee is expected any
more than in the Senate itself under the
understandings already reached by the
Republican Senators and the understand
ings which are to be reached as to the re-
naming disputed points Of the bill.

WAR MUST STOP.
President Mckinley Said 10 Have Fixed
His Cuban Policy,

New York, 9.-The Cuban policy of the
present administration is attracting deep
interest in every quarter. The Journal to.
day publishes under a Washington date
line the following important statement;
President McKinley's Cuban policy is to-
day concrete and fixed. Already the first
note to Spain is blocked out, and merely
awaits the report of Special Commissioner
Calhoun to give it its final impulse. 1t will
offer mediation to Spain on the basis of
the independence of Cuba and the pay
ment of suitable indemnity. The rejection
ofthis friendly offer will be sharply followed
by message to Congress which will make
the world ring at its sturdy Americanism.
Every contingency has been considered
for months. Preparations are even now
rapidly being made for any conclusions
which Spain may arrive at. President
Mckinley will greet favorable response
with olive branches. He will ward of
aggression with mailed hand.
This information is derived from sources
which do not admit of question. President
Mckinley has himself outlined the main
features of his policy to confidential friends
and advisers during the present week.

Quarterly Meeting.

On last Saturday and Sunday the third
quarterly meeting for the current year was
held in the Methodist church. The SER
vices on Sunday morning and night were
conducted by Rev. J. Tyler Frazier, pre-
siding elder, and on both occasions be
preached to crowded church. The SER
mons were fine ones and made aprofound
impression on his hearers. At the morn
ing service the sacrament of the Lords
Supper was administered, and nearly the
entire congregation joined in the CON-
munion. 1t was a delightful religious SER
vice, and its effects will be felt in the COM
munity for some time. On Sunday after
noon Love Feast was held and number
of good, Christian people attended.

EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS
Are no Doubt Caused by Contraction of
the Earth's Crust.

Earthquakes are phenomena that sci
entists do not YET clearly understand" said
Professor Henry A. Rowland, of the Johns
Hopkins university last night. is diff
cult to determine what causes them.
Some assert that they are caused by Wa
tiers of the sea pouring into crevices in the
earth's crust and thus coming into contact
with the fiery elements il the earth's cen
ter. The result of this would be similar to
gigantic boiler explosion.
''Other theorists hold that earthquakes
are caused by the contraction ofthe earth's
crust. The earth is constantly cooling and
it is held that the outer crust necessarily
contracts. This is sometimes done by fits
and starts, and immense shelves Of rocks,
portions of the earth's outer skin, or strata,
after being subjected to immense pressure,
suddenly yield to the strain and overleap
each other. Done under great pressure
and over large territory, this causes
disturbance of the earth's surface which is
plainly felt and which We call earthquake.
Scientists of today seem generally inclined
to this latter theory.
"No one can predict the coming Of an
earthquake nor why it is felt in certain
localities more than in others except upon
the theory that disturbances in the crust
of the earth are generally regional and the
waves sent out die away after time.
The waves move much more rapidly than
sound and also have about the same hori-
zontal velocity from heavy as from light
quake. The velocity is somewhere in the
neighborhood of mile second. There
is really very light backward and forward
movement of the earth's surface. Such a
movement of an inch would throw down
nearly every building under which it pass
ed
Earthquakes are more frequent in
volcanic countries" continued Professor
Rowland, "because the earth's crust is
thinner there, and not because of the
presence of the volcanoes. The fact of
volcanoes existing is proof of the thin
ness of the earth's crust. In Japan, where
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1897-06-10

earthquakes are of frequent occurrence,
scientists have set themselves to study the
phenomena. The seismograph, an instru-
ment especially designed for the purpose,
is much used there. It is little used in
this country because & railroad train pass
ing within a mile and half of it disturbs
it
"The earthquake tremors felt here were
no doubt caused by the contraction of the
earths crust somewhere beneath this Sec
ton of the country"

Church Falls in.
Tallahassee, Fla, Jan. 1.-The legisla-
ture of 1895 granted the city of Pensacola
new charter, in which there was a pro-
vision for election by the city council of
a harbor master and a harbor commits
sioner. Prior to the passage of said char
ter these officers were appointed by the
governor for terms of four years. The
new city council elected men for said po-
sitions. They demanded that the incum-
bents vacate in their favor which demand
was refused. Proceedings we're Instituted
in the circuit court to Gust them, and this
failed. The case was brought to the SUI
preme court and said court declares thar
the provision for the appointment of said
officers is unconstitutional.

lit all seems like a dream" he said last
night, after the ceremony. II was ship
wrecked on the coast of New Hebrides, in
the South seas. Perhaps my white face
may have had something to do with it,
and perhaps II was my training as a news
paper reporter that made me a king, in
stead of being put to DEATH"
Then he related how two of the strong
tribe were about to go to wer. The military
strength of one was 800 warriors and that
of the other one-third the number He was
found by the latter, and instead of being
killed and eaten they made him under
stand the situation He found their mode
of warfare was for the chiefs to engage in
battle with the chiefs of the opposing
tribes and the ordinary warriors to follow
He ambushed few hundred warriors
then sent decoy tribes into the field. In
half an hour the strong tribe had lost a
couple of hundred men and the great bat
tie for which both sides had been prepar-
ing for five years was won by the weaker
tribe.
King O'Melle of the latter was so pleased
with the victory that he made Col. Hobbs
an honored guest, and then partook of
such a large repast of roast pig stuffed
heir to succeed him, and a revolution was
threatened. Half the population of 10000
natives wanted the military chief to be
proclaimed king, and the other half ia
vored the civil chief 1t meant the raising
in power of one family and the lowering
of another. Then an old native suggested
that the stranger who had saved their
country be made their king, The idea
grew IN popularity. The matter was laid
before Col Hobbs. His consent had pro-
visions attached to IL that they did not at
first take kindly to. lie wanted cannabal-
ism abolished. If they would agree to
this he would be their king otherwise the
Great White Spirit commanded him to
leave them. They consented, and he was
proclaimed king and for six years has
reigned.

return to their kingdom has not been set
