HOME AGAIN.
Return of Dean Worcester and Colonel
DENLY From Manila.
EXPECT EARLY END OF WAR.
Professor Worcester Denies Reports
That AEuinnldO's Army Is on the
Increase. and He Declines to
Discuss General Otis.

Victoria, B. c., Oct. 20.-Two passen-
gers arriving by the Empress of Japan
from the orient are Colonel DENLY and
Professor Dean G. Worcester, members
of the commission appointed by President
Mckinley just before the opening of the
present strife with the Filipinos to act
in conjunction with President Schurman,
who has already returned and reported
Admiral Dewey and General Otis as
an advisory board for the Philippines.
Colonel DENLY and Professor Worcester
are now ON their way to Washington.
Having left Manila by the steamship
Yawati Maru on Sept. 10, they are COM
plying with a summons by telegraph
from President Mckinley to attend
final meeting of the commission, at which
all the members will be present, with the
exception of General Otis, who, as Pro-
fessor Worcester explains, "is still busy"
The professor says further that he and
Colonel DENLY would have returned with
President Schurman but for the receipt
of orders to remain and await the de-
cision Of the president as to whether or
not it was advisable to retain them as
permanent commission in the islands.
Had such decision been reached, the pro-
fessor observed, two more members would
have been sent out by President McKin-
ley to replace Admiral Dewey and Pro-
fessor Schurman. However, upon the re-
ceipt of Schurman's report, President
Mckinley decided that the work of the
commission in the islands might be ac-
counted closed.
AguinaldO's ARMY.
The professor also took occasion to de-
ny the reports given from Manila to the
press of America with reference to the
large and increasing number of Aguinal-
dos army. THE insurgent troops" he
said do not number more than $4,000
men" AS to the state Of affairs. mill
taiy or political, in the islands, Professor
Worcester declined to speak. He also
politely declined to discuss General Otis
or his management of the campaign
against the insurgents "The general is
brother commissioner" he said, "and
it is not for me to talk of him or of his
office" The inference to be drawn from
his manner rs well as his depreciation of
Aguinaldo's forces is, however, favorable
to an early termination of the campaign
with every satisfaction to the United
States.
Both the professor and Colonel DENLY
are united in the opinion that the is
lands are rich There is gold there in
abundance, they say, and other minerals,
both precious and economic Seams of
coal have already been exploited that
will supply steam fuel for many navies
for ages. although it is not as good per-
haps as the product of the United States,
Australia or Wales. In comparison with
the Japanese coal it is in no way an in
ferior article. AS for gold, samples were
exhibited in Manila of nuggets, placer
dust and quartz specimens that were a
feast for the eye of an old miner.

THE SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
The Drift of Politics az Reflected by
the Newspapers of the State.
TUNBRIDGE TARTS

The gastronOmic editor of the Bos-
ton Journal discusses a menu served to
Admiral Dewey while in the Hub, and
thus concludes:
A Tunbridge tart would have
brought tears to the admiral's eyes.
This delicious dish is composed of sew
eral layers of doughnuts, separated
from each other by Shaker apple
sauce. 1t derives it's name from the
little towno of Tunbridge, Orange coun-
ty, Vermont. Even Oh Nah, the
faithful servant of the admiral, tast-
ing it, would confess that there is no.
thing like it in his beloved Shanghai.
Tunbridge may now shipper and try
to look unconscious, but Dewey has
discovered her.-St. Adams MesSen-
ger.

1852, John Olmstead and his nephew, Rob-
ert Stanton. were in the formers library
In Brooklyn. The old gentleman is at
tackled by a stroke of apoplexy and died
of heart failure at two minutes past twelve
on the morning of December 6. Before
dying Olmstead made a will leaving his
fortune to his nephew If he married within
ten years, with the exception Of $40 900
which was to go to an unnamed heir
Chapter II.-After five years Stanton be-
comes engaged to a young lady. He meets

He is told that he was, drunk the night
was drugged by Raymond. Five years
later Raymond turns up as the unnamed
heir to claim the property on December
S, 1892. The death certificate had said that
Olmstead died on December instead of
December 6.
Chapter III:-After securing proofs of
the date of his uncles death Stanton de-
terminess to marry, if possible, before mid
night of December 6, so as to beat Ray
mond out of the property for the trick he

FRO BE coNrINuED.I
ALASKAN EARTHQUAKES.
Larger Extent of Coast Line Affect.
ed Than Ever Before Reported
in That Region.

The seven earthquakes that shook the
10 were unequaled in the historic pc
riod i'll that region for the extent of
coast line affected. Reports of the
shocks have been received from various
points between Juneau and the Aleu-
ton chain, distance of over 600 miles
1t is well known that the effects of
earthquakes originating on the coasts
are often felt in the far interior of
contineSts, and it is not at all unlikely
that these shocks extended hundreds
of miles inland. In region like Alas
ka, where large areas are uninhabited,
severe earthquakes may sometimes oc-
cur without the facts ever becoming
known.
1t Is said that q number of islands
along the coast near Yallutat bay, in
the neighborhood of Mount ST. Elias,
have become submerged or have settled
in the water, and that the adjoining
coast line has perceptibly sunk, while
a little distance out at sea the ocean bed
appears to have risen. While these re-
POi 10 llCS9 llOll, II may DC Stiu
that it is not uncommon for consider
able areas of the crust of the earth to
sink as the result of an earthquake.
One example that may be cited from
our own history is the New Madrid
earthquake of 1881, when the subter-
ranean disturbances resulted in the
subsistence of about 5000 square miles
of oil ;ol IL.
river in what is now southeastern Mis-
souri, and northeastern Arkansas. The
subsidence was about ten feet and the
river poured into some of the depres-
sions, forming series of lakes.
A few hundred miles north of the re-
gion where this sudden subsistence and
elevation is said to have occurred in
Alaska the earth's crust has been rising
for considerable period. Behring sea
is slowly becoming shallower. If this
tendency is continued, the time will
come when Behring sea, or large parts
of it, will be dry land, and thus Asia
and North America may yet be united
above the sea level.
The known earthquakes in Alaska, as
III lHC present IhSAdICe, Lhfe OSCuiISu
along the line of volcanic cones, and
particularly in the Aleutian chain.
Over 80 of these shocks have been re-
corded by the Russians and our own
people. When we bought Alaska we
acquired an addition to our earthquake
territory. Canada throughout its great
domain has comparative immunity

With low whistle Stanton returned
to the messenger and asked: do you
want to take ride?" The boy grinned,
and he continued: Here's a dollar
for your time. Get into that carriage
as quick as you can and slam the door
after you, but don't speak to the driver.
When he stops on the ferry and asks
you where to go next, tell him to dri, g

Oats him." he muttered, and was
still looking after the lost interest,
when another hand touched his arm,
and another voice, softer than the mes
senger's, repeated:
"Mr. Malcolm?"
1t was time of swift vicissitudes
for one guided by instinct. In the first
quiet thoughts of his waiting he had
honestly determined to give up the
plan for the sake of her who was to be
turning away, disgusted that he had
ever thought of trusting her. 1t took
but touch of opposition, in the shape
of Raymond round the corner, to de-
termine him to carry out the plan at all
hazards. Now the determination van
ished in an instant, whether because
the sacrifice stood before him or be-
cause the way was clear of opposition,
and he replied:
II was this morning, but I am
ashamed of it. My name is Stanton
Robert Stanton"
mine is Esther Thorndike. My
friend explained to me what is required,
and 1 am ready to act for you"
The young lawyer hardly realized
what she was saying. He was looking
for the deformity. 1t required but
moment to decide that at least it was
not in her body. Whatever was wrong
was surely under the veil. He could
not even see the outline of the face.
She stood as if waiting for reply,
but he was not aware that she had
asked a question. He tried to recall
what she had said, and then took refuge
in expressing his compunction.
''I've begun to realize that my plan
was a very cold-blooded and selfish
idea, and I've grown heartily ashamed
of it," he said.
"a plain business bargain is hardly
open to sentiment" she replied, quick
ly. 81 am quite ready, and if you are
we had better start"
