EARTHQUAKE DAMAGED NAVY YARD
Loss at Mare Island Placed at 100000
Operations Stopped.

Vallejo, CAL, March 31.--Work in
the navy yard has ceased, and the
100 employees are idle on tie sti eett 6
of Vallejo, as result of last nights
earthquake. A conservative estimate
of the damage at the navy yard
places it at 100000. Only
two buildings in the Mare Island
navy yard escaped damage, the ad-
ministration building and ordnance
storehouse and workshops. The saw
mill and paint shops are mass of
ruins and every building except the
two mentioned have sustained some
damage. The hospital, three story
brick building is cracked from top
to bottom, and every joint seems
loosened, while the plastering is
strewn everywhere. Several narrow
escapes are related, and many pa
TENTS received severe shocks.
In officers row, every house is
damaged, gables down and chimneys
demolished. Admiral Kirkland's
house shows the least damage. The
house of Civil Engineer Holiday
Jared the worst. All departments
have ceased work, except that of
equipment and the yards and docks
The great chimney of the power
house is cracked in several places,
and will have to be rebuilt. The east
wall of the engineering foundry has
fallen, and the interior is badly
wrecked. The machins shop which
adjoins it is also damaged and the
machinery disturbed to such an ex.
tent that it will have to be over
hauled throughout.
The electric plant which lights
the buildings and grounds was badly
shaken and flooded so that there will
be no light for two or three days.
Building 69, used by the gensral
storekeeper, is probably damaged
the most, and will undoubtedly have
to be condemned. The north wall
has fallen, and the walls on both
sides are cracked. The south wall
hangs 6 inches out of plumb. Build.

much the same condition, and q

machinery is cut of place, and will
have to be taken down and put up

is estimated at $4,000.

New York, March 31.-"To Pres
ident William Mckinley: To hell
with diplomacy.-Chase Art school,
Now York city"
The foregoing note was wired to
the president by the 100 members
in the girls class of the big art
sshool at fifty seventh street and
sixth avenue. The message was not
the result of al impulse of the mo
ment, The girls hsld formal meet
ing, called purposely to discuss the
warlike situation. The moderators
of the meeting were lisa Glenn,
whose father has been mayor of At
lauta, GA; Miss Isabel Arnold Of
Brooklyn and Miss Rella Abel of
Kansas City.
The speeches that were made were
worthy of heroines battling for a
noble cause. 1t is true few of the
orators were able to say they had
read much about the subject or were
familiar with the facts involved.
"But what of that?" as one OF them
eloquently said ave know one
thing for a certainty, that is that the
honor of this country is at stake.
That honor should be dearer to US
than any psltry facts.' If honor aud
diplomacy are at variance, then TO
hell with diplomacy every time"
The sentiment captured the meet
ing and was promptly adopted as
the sense of the class and was en-
bodied in the words sent to the
president.
Another act of patriotism signal
lied the end of the meeting. It
took the form of a resolution that
the male class in art, numbering
forty young men, be inundated on
the altar of duty and sent to the
front just as soon es the tocsin OF
war is souuded. The resolution wss
drawn up by Mis-. Alice LLOYD, an
art student Of this city. The word
ing of the telegram to President Nc
Kinley seemed to meet with the ap-
prevail of the majority of the class.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 80.-The of.

which has been telegraphed by Count
Muravieff, the Russiah minister for
foreign affairs, to the representatives
Of Russia abroad. It is as follows:
"By virtue of a convention signed at
Pekin, ON March ~, Port Arthur and
the port of Ia Lien Wan, and the ter
ritories adjacent, have been ceded to
Russia, in usufruct. by China You
are requested to notify the government
where you are accredited, adding that

"You may at the same time inform
the foreign minister that the port of

hospitality will be extended to the

IMPOSSIBLE JUST NOW.

omoially Stated That the Indian Mints
VIII Not Be Opened to Silver.
LONDON, March 30.-The house of
commons was occupied for some time
during the day in debate on Indian
currency. Lord George Zamilton, sec.
rotary Of state for India, admitted that
it would be impossible to reopen the
mints without some international ar.
rangement, which at present seems
quite out of the question. He pointed
out that nobody had blamed the gov.
ernment for declining the American
and French invitations to reopen the
mints.
As matters now stood he believed an
international bimetallio agreement i'm.
possible, because France could not
accept less ratio than 1513 to /, which
could not be secured.
To his view it seemed impossible that
any nation, by its own unaided efforts,
could rehabilitate silver. America had
made great effort, but had not sue.
ceeded. He contended that the policy
introduced in India in 1893 mad fully
justified itself and that to attempt to
reverse it now would be lunacy.

Gratitude,

Gratitude is another name for JUS
tice, for if there is anything unjust, dis
loyal and unfair it is ingratitude. And
yet it is deplorable fact to consider
that ingratitude is very common. II
prevails among the ignorant and the
educated. \ ,ntal culture In itself is not
sufficient to debar it. The heart must
be spiritually beautifled, so to speak. in
love, charity and obedience before the
fragrant flower Of gratitude can perme-
ate our lives with its sweetness. We
cannot truly love any one unless we are
full Of gratitude for that person who
begets that love. Neither can we enjoy
or appreciate true friendship unless we
are capable Of gratefully reoiprooating
those noble personal qualities which
constitute true friendship. In fact, graf
itude is one of the divine elements Of
human nature that cannot be extolled
too highly.
