EEFEors or AN EARrHoU4KE.

EFFECTS OF AN E4RTH0UAhE.
The report of the engineer appointed
to inquire into the subject contains
some impressive facts as to the effects
of the recent earthquake on the drain
age, levels, and navigation of Assam.
On the North Trunk road, the Dia-
phong river remained dry for five days
after the earthquake, and then sud-
denly resumed it's usual course at al
most it's normal depth. The bank on
both sides sank considerably, and the
river flooded the land to the east for
nearly half a mile with three or four
feet Of water. On the same road the
Dhansirir river was the largest in the
Mangaldai district, having width of
nearly six hundred feet, and the earth
quake changed it's channel from the
left bank to the right. Great damage
to standing crops was done, owing to
the subsistence Of the banks below the
Karimukh junction with the Titamari
river, while the flood waters reached
almost to the window-level of the in
| spection bungalow. At Charparmukh,
both banks of the Titamari slipped into
the river, considerably reducing it's pre-
viously wide bed, which also became
temporarily dry after the earthquake.
| 1t was expected that some startling
| results would have been noticeable at
| Gauhati, on the Brahmaputra, but a
slight lessening in the depth of the
river is all that has been remarked.
| Below Hatimura the right bank of the
| Brahmaputra sank fifteen feet, and a
large tract of land UP to Halo was
flooded. There is, or rather was, a rock
in the middle of the stream in front
of Hatimura Fill, which formerly used
to show considerably above water, but
it is no longer visible, and presumably
it has sunk, but deep borings will have
| to be taken in order to actually ascer-
| tain if this is so. The banks of the
Noakhandi river, in the Mauza of Bar
peta and Chenda, which were ten feet
high or more before the disturbance,
are now barely three, while, owing to
the filling UP of it's bed, it's width has
increased from about two hundred feet
to not less than two thousand feet, with
| a depth of about four feet.

A CoLoRED DIPLOMAT.
Eddie Savoy, the Messenger. WhC
Handed Passports to Sackville-Wes

Eddie Savoy, the Messenger. Who
Handed Passports to Sackville-West
and Polo.
"One of the most interesting charact-
ers in the Government service" said
an official of the State Department to-
day, lis Eddie Savoy, the colored
messenger Of the Assistant Secretary
of State. He has been employed in
that department for the last twenty
seven years, and is thoroughly imbued
with all it's customs and traditions. A
perfect diplomat in his way, he never
sees anything he should not see nor
knows anything it is not intended he
should know. At least, that is how he
impresses the people who do business
with him-his superiors as well as those
desiring to communicate with them.
His place is a strictly confidential one,
and frequently puts him in possession
of highly important state secrets, the
premature disclosure of which in sew
eral recent instances would have seri-
ously embarrassed the government.
But never since he first entered the for
eign office, back in the administration
of Secretary Fish, when the state de-
PAL lllltIlt was lOSdlSu III Tic pullbtAS
at the corner of Fourteenth and S
Streets now used as an orphan asylum,
has he been known to bertay a trust or
to tell anything whatever about the af-
fairs of the state department that he
was not personally authorized to tell.
"I am reminded Of this by the import
ant part he played in the events at
tending the recall of Sackville- West,
the British minister, during Cleveland's
first administration, as we'll as those
in the more recent case of Senior Polo,
the Spanish minister. He acted as the
trusted messenger between the secre-
tary of state and the foreign ministers
in both cases. Secretary Bayard select
ed him to personally hand Mr.. Sack
Vile West his passports, and Secretary
Day confided to him the important duty
Of handing to Senior Polo, first, Presi-
dent McKinley's ultimatum to the
Spanish government for the evacuation
of CUBA, and next the official papers
insuring him safe conduct out of the
territory of the United States. Eddie
as he is Familiarity called was fully i'm
pressed with the Importance Of these
| missions and adopted a simple but
| shrewd method to satisfy the head Of
| the department of their successful exc
| cution.
when he handed Minister West the
package containing his passports he
asked him, as favor to show that they
had been properly delivered, that he
write his autograph on the official en-
velope and give it to him. Mr.. West
| did as requested, and Eddie toook the
envelope with it's autographs indorse-
ment and broken seal back to the De-
partment and showed it to Mr.. Bayard.
He followed exactly the same course
with equal success in delivering the
ultimatum to Minister Polo. The two
| envelopes are now "Eddies' private
property, having been presented to him
by Secretaries Bayard and Day, and
are treasured by him as relics of i'm
portant events in the diplomatic history
of the United States. "-Washington

SAVED HER HUSBANDS LIFE.

A Woman Becomes Temporarily a Bull
Fighter to Excellent Purpose.
woman's presence of mind and
quick and determined action in the face
of peril saved her husband death at the
Corning farm on the river road below
Kenwood yesterday.
A prize bull, one Of the finest of the
celebrated Corning stock, registered as
King Coffee VI, an animal of excellent
blood, but utamed qualities, came near
causing it's keepers death.
+ James Kievet, who has charge of the
Corning stock, has only held his posi-
ton a few days, and therefore was not
we'll acquainted with the peculiarities
of the animals. Yesterday he took
King Coffee vi. out for exercise. The
bull had ring in his nose, and
attached to the ring was a pole to lead
him. After giving the animal several
runs up and down the large barnyard
Keeper Kievet returned it to it's stall
and incautiously removed the stick be-
fore he had chained the bull AS soon
as the stick was removed the bull
reared and made plunge for Kievet,
landing his forefeet on him so as to
throw him to the floor of the stall. The
! animal then gored the man as he lay
on the floor, inflicting several gashes
| in the groin.
, Mrs. Kievet happened to be in the
| barnyard, and, hearing her husbands
screams, rushed into the barn, seized
a pitchfork, and began furiously to prod
the bull. The brave woman finally
drove the animal into corner. She
| then seized her husband and dragged
him from the barn. Just then another
farm hand came upon the scene. He
| locked the door of the barn and then
| carried the injured man to the farm
house, where he was attended by DR..
Edward Cox. The victim suffers great
pain, but his wounds are not considered
| fatal.-Albany Express.

1t is unfortunate that some teachers

THE PERSISTENT WAR RUMoRs.

Wars and rumors of warsl The
rumors of this war have been decidedly
interesting during the last three days.
Saturday night it was rumored that
the Spanish squadron had been defeat
ed and twelve of it's ships destroyed.
AS there were not twelve ships to be
destroyed this rumor was little over
done, but it made some extra demand
for the Sunday papers, an effect which
may possibly have been foreseen by
those who started and circulated it.
Yesterday the Spanish squadron was
again destroyed, this time totally -
More extras We're issued, and all went
as noisily if not as merry as a marriage
bell.
OF course there may have been some
foundation for the rumors which have
been so persistent and particular since
Saturday. A battle has been expected,
and it has also been expected that If
there were battle the Spanish squad
ron would be totally destroyed.
There is also a stock market and that
market has been in condition which
needed reports of great victory
1t responded nobly to the reports of
the great victory yesterday and the
belated shorts" were left at night in a
position corresponding to that of the
Spanish squadron.
If the Spanish squadron has been
caught there has been a fight. If it
hasn't been caught, and if it is caught
there will be fight. 1t If is not caught
| and if it succeeds in getting away I'M
harmed there will be deep disappoint-
ment in the United States and perhaps
some negative joy in Spain. We shall
soon know whether there is any fight
in Admiral Cervera and his instructions
or whether he came over here simply
to give an exhibition of Spanish
strategy.

is shipped, the greater portion Of the
trade being in mutton. AT least 10O,-
100000 pounds of this were exported in

The real reason, says Berlin CORE
spondent, why a formal declaration of
neutrality has not been issued by the
German government has, strange to
say, not been mentioned by any news
paper, German or foreign. That given
by all the German papers is the wish
of the German government to keep a
free hand during and after the present
war, but this is not a true statement
Of the case. The real reason lies in a
peculiar constitutional hitch, which
throws an interesting sidelight on the
relation of the emperor to the reichstag.
1t appears that when, on the outbreak
of the Turko-R Russian war, Emperor
William /. was about to issue the usual
declaration, he was informed by his
constitutional lawyers that he must
first secure the consent of the reichstag
to this step. This the old gentleman
was that no declaration of neutrality
was published, and this tradition has
been kept up by the present emperor.

The cultivation of the camphor tree
this section promises to be formid-
able competitor with the Far East. In
China, Japan and Formosa, but a small
portion of the great camphor forests
now remain, owing to the wasteful
methods of obtaining the gum from the
trees, which in many were cut down
entirely. In Florida, on the other
hand, it has been found that canphor
could be produced proatably from the
leaves and twigs, obtaining a pound of
gum from seventy-seven pounds of the
cuttings. The tree requires no fertili-
cation, and is extremely ornamental.
