WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1S.-It is
barely possible In view Of the represen-
tadons of the officials OF certain states
that the volunteers in the Philippines
are clamoring to be sent home, the ud-
ministration may avail itself Of the
clause in the army bill authorizing an
increase In the regular army.
At any time there may be a call for
volunteers to take the places Of those
being mustered out. With this in view,
Senator Scott, accompanied by Major
Charlie Elliott, late OF the Second West
plrglnih regiment, called on the Pre-
sident to-day to assure him that West
virginia was ready to furnish her share
or whatever number may be required.
Senator Scott said the state would
furnish q regiment in ten days, II an
emergency should arrive, and the men
will be Of the class that will stick. Gov
ernor Atkinson Is quoted to-day to the
same effect. The President thanked
Senator Scott to-day for his assurances,
but said It had not been decided wheth-
er or not q Gull for volunteers Will be
necessary. ayg1s ~ -.
Among those OF the volunteer officers
to be detailed In the service under the
reorganization Of the army Is Captain
Charles ]. Goff, OF Clarksburg, West
Virginia, assistant Quartermaster.

Tides in Chesapeake Bay.

The United States Coast and
Geodniic Survey has recently con.
Cluded successful attempt 10 fix y
permanent udel plane for no Cnesa
pfake bay During the last y months
40 stations were occupied and stimuli
tareous tidal observations extending
over one complete lunatiOn were
made at Is TINS Is preliminary to
the mskrng Cf correct predictlc ms
from h. C4pes to Hsvre de Grace.
Vast sums have been spent by
foreign countries in maintaining
tide-measuring instruments in the
North sea, along the coasts Of France
aud in the Mediterranean. TIE work
has its greatest development IN Ger
many, Austria and France, aud in
Continental Europe nearly $4,000
permanent beschmarks have been
established. This Government has
entered upon enlarged experiments
at a comparatively recent date.
Mr. L. d. Preston, of the Coast
Survey, makes the following state
ment
The average tide for the entire
Chesapeake bay is about l foot, pos
sioly less for Old Point Comfort,
- feet for the mouth of the Poto'
mac, foot for Washington, 3 feet;
Richmond, 3 feet Elk river, at the
head of the bay, 2 feet, and Ann p.
oils, less than | foot. The wind
{ Il ect is sometimes more than the
total tide. At B.ltimore the wind
effect may amount to 3 feet, while
the tide proper, unit f1enced by local
disturbances, is only one.third SIS
much. This diminution IN the height
of the tides northward from the
entrance and the subsequent increase
lu the same direction is one OF the
peculiar features Of the tidal phe-
nomens Of the bay.
The small range at Annapolis rs
due partly TO the change in width OF
the bsy, but principally to the fact
that there Is an Interference at this
point between the incoming and out
going tidsl waves. When the crest
of the southbound movement reaches
the nth OF the Severn river 1t meets
the northbound wave from the Cspes.
aud partial neutraliz.ti of the
vertical motion of the water takes
place. Another interesting point in
connection with the subject is that
the rate OF progress Of the tidal wave
from the mouth Of the Potomac to
Washington is somewhat less than
that of an ordinary steamer. so that
a vessel requiring the greatest depth
possible would be able to enjoy the
condition Of high water during it's
entire passage up the river. The
fact was first brought out by Mr.. C..
A. Scbott many years ago. when the
Great Eastern, of transatlantic cable
fame, avsiled itself of this favorable
circumstance and came to anchor
within few miles of the Capitol.

Truth About the Klondike.

The statistics collected by the Ca
madam Bank on the Klondke output.
says the Denver Post, are considered
the most accurate and reliable that
have yet appeared. The Canadian
Bank is a semi government institu-
tion, and what is given out by it may
be considered as bearing an official
character, based on sscertsined facts
and supported by ample evidence.
Some weeks ago it was announced
from Alaskan sources the gold out
put il that section this year would
amount to $40, 900, 900. The Canadian
Bank puts it down fat at $8, ,000, 900.
The bank is evidently not ip huenced
by promoters nor in the employment
of transportation company.
These people were very energetic
year ago to disseminate the infor-
nation that the gold output from the
Yukon country would. for the year,
amount to over $l5, 1000, 900. When
the Cadauian Bank had received all
of it's returns. it turned out to be less
than $5, 100000. 10 this manner the
official statistics of the bank have
shattered the visionary and slluring
statements of interested parties who
cared more for the money spent by
their deluded victims in out6ttiog
and transportation than for the true
statements, based on indisputable
facts.

a" Electricity for the propulsion of
ferryOOats is now being practically
calculated upon on the Delaware and
many advantages and much economy
will result from its use. 1t will, for
instance, save the fuel wasted when
the fires are being kept up, as they
always must be. while the boat is
waiting in her slip, for stes mbost
must be provided with engines and
boilers for her highest speed, and
this, in this case Cf ferry boat, can
only be used q small part Of the time.

creasng the necessary crew.

in the pilot house, which would be a
most important and valuable feature,
as simply by turning a switch the pilot
could start or stop or go instant with
out signaling to the engine room or
having any danger of signals being
misunderstood In this way the boat
would be under perfect snd absolute
control OF one man, and in every way
for short distance routes ir crowded
waters under the usual conditions OF
ferry yooats the electricity would give
great advantages. 1t is stated that
such boats will soon be put in opera
ton between Philadelphia and Cam
den. If as successful there as ex-
pected they will be doubt soop be

william Penn's Coffin.

Au interesting discovery has been
made at Penn, in Buckinghamshire.
A faculty applied for by the Vicar
(tbe Rev. B. J. s. Kerby) and
church wardens of the parish, for the
removal Of dilspidated high-backed
pew in the historic church, having
been granted, the pew was taken
down. The floor upon which it stood
was found to be q false one, resting
on the original surface, which had
perished to such an extent as to be a
source Of considerable danger. The
decayed material having been cleared
away, the cofin of William Penn,
buried there in 1898, was discovered,
lying within four inches of the floor.
It was of oak, black with age. and,
having been carefully covered and
sealed, the floor was relaid and c.
