beset by difficulties on all sides, he al
ways felt repaid for all his trouble in
getting TO any place In the underground
regions.
Estimates of the time required for the
formation of the earth have been COM
piled from various data among which
are the following: ~ Time which has
elapsed since the separation of the
earth and moon. fifty-six million years.
minimum estimate by Professor G. H.
Darwin. (2) Since the conslstentier
stratus, twenty million to forty million
years, by Lord Kelvin. go Since the
condensation of the oceans, eighty to
ninety million years, maximum esr-
mate by Professor J. Jolly Lord KEEL
WINS estimate, which he would make
nearer twenty millions than forty mill
lions. is founded on the assumptions
that since the period of the consisten-
tier stratus the earth has cooled simply
as a solid body the transferrence Of the
heat from within outward being accom-
plished solely by conduction.
Professor Jolly argues that the ocean
consisted first Of fresh water, and that
it's sadness Is due to the dissolved mat
ter that Is being carried into it con-
stantly by the rivers. By determining
how much salt the rivers bring down
each year into the sea a calculation was
then made by this experimental as to
the number of years it required to sup
ply the sea with all the salt that 1t now
contains.
Another estimate was on the assump
ton that the total maximum thickness
of stratified rock is 265,500 feet If &C.
cumulated at the rate of one foot In
century, more than twentysiX million
years must have elapsed during the for
nation.
Professor harrington, who has az
tempted a solution of the problem upon
a new basis, was tutor in biology and
mineralogy at Yale for two years, later
served for a year In a similar capacity
in the Smithsonian Institution, and six
years ago, when the Field museum was
opened, he became It's curator Since
coming here he has assumed a profess
sorship at the Chicago university-Chi-
cago T1mes-Herald.

SUCCESS OF KHAKI CAMPAIGN
Continued from First Page.)


Glasgow in the Liberal interest since
1886 and the Bridgeton division was
Sir George Otto Erevelyan's old seat.
Both had long been liberal strongholds.
The results In Liverpool and other in
dustrial districts tell similar story of
increased Unionist majorities Mr..
Chamberlain, who was listening to the
results over the telephone, sent the fol-
lowing message to the people of Biz
minham: This has been a good days
work for the empire"
London itself felt the full tide of the
1lnionist victory. The liberal represent
tation from the metropolis will not
amount to more than seven or eight
out of sixty-tWo members. Indeed the
isolated liberal successes only serve to
enhance the sweeping nature of the
unionist triumph. In all directions the
anti-war candidates have been defeat
ed. Even Mr Cremer's success at Heg-
gerston is doubtful, as recount has
been demanded.
Londoners were not slow last evening
TO testify to their delight. Wherever
the results were displayed crowds col
1ected to cheer and to demonstrate in
favor of their favorites. In various
polling districts the candidates appear
ed at windows or drove about, receiv-
ing tremendous ovations. The returns
from many points will not be known
until toward noon to-day.
At midnight returns received showed
the total number of elected to be 397
with the relative strength Of parties as
follows. 1Iinisteri0lists $50, liberals
Including 1aborites Y, nationalists 45.
The conserva tives have gained alto
gether twenty-one seats and the liber-
ais fourteen The Daily Mail describes
the elections as the route of the pro-

Austria and Italy Assent to Anglo
German Alliance.

diSuatch from Berlin yesterday says:
A high official Of the German foreign office
asserted this evening that Austria-Hun-
gary ami Italy nave expressed their for
NAL adherence To the Anglo-German agree
ment. but thai France Russia and the
United States have not defined their posi-
ton.
The press continues lively discussion
of the agreement. The Hamburg Core
spondenz which is often the mouthpiece
OF the foreign office. refers to the sus-
picion expressed in some foreign newspa-
pers that certain clauses in the agree
ment arr kept secret. and asserts that no
secret clauses exist.
The Vossische Zeitung, referring to the
report that the United States before Civ
ing a final answer wishes Germany and
Great Britain to explain what they mean
by clause three. that is. whether if an
other power seiZes territory, they intend
to recoup themselves by annexatiOns, and
also whether they intend to prevent sez-
IRE by force. says:
THE answer To such a question will
probably be that Germany and Great
Britain have not YET reached decision on
that point but intend To- decide only after
a seizure shall have occurred, since the
decision must depend upon the interests
involved.
man troops ara suffering in health News
of the death Of three from disease was
Cabled home today
When the attention OF the German for
eign office called to the successes of
the rebels in Kwang Tun province, and
the question was asked whether the pow
crs had vet discussed their attitude to-
ward the rebellion. q high official replied in
the negative. but implied that it would soon
become necessary 10 discuss that point.
A London dispatch says: The officials of
the British foreign Office say the Anglo
German agreement will not affect Russia s
railroad concessions in Manchuria They
point out thai the object of the agreement
Is the upholdiug Of the integrity Of China
without reference to the arrangements of
the powers regarding the construction of
railroads In China.
The Temps OF Paris which is Semi-offi-
Cial organ. under London date, says:
The belief III diploma tic circles Is that
the Anglo-Cerman ement is purely a
mutual guarantee against either country
Selling the IangtSe kiang valley. Germany,
even II not in economic crisis Is at
least in serious enbarraSSm owing To
considerable overproduction brought about
by the enormous Industrial machinery
which she has created at A great cost She
her eyes on China. and especially on the
Yangtse kiang valley. and fearing England
might attempt to seize the Yangtse Kians
valley she signed the published agreement
Diplomats are convinced that no secret
clause exists. The third article applies to
the eventual lily of Russia definitely Selling
Manchuria. in which case Germany and
England would divide the Yangtse Ktane
valley. But there reasons to believe
this will not occur because Russia is de-
termined not to seize Manchuria.'

Guerrilla Attacks Still Cause the Brit
fsh Much Trouble.

A dispatch from Cape Town yesterday
says: Guerrilla attacks by the Beers are
still giving great trouble. General French
encountered continuous opposition in his
march from Caroline to Bethel his casual
ties numbering thirty-six.
After the arrival Of Lord Methuen at
Zeerust there was a reconnaissance in force
northward, which resulted on Saturday in
the discovery of large numbers Of Beers,
who were only dslodged after artillery and
rifle fire lasting four hours. The British had
four killed and tea wounded. The Beers
took shelter in farm houses which were
crowded with women and children.
Lord Roberts Is distributing a fresh cir
cular to the effect that Beers voluntarily
surrendering who have never taken the
oath Of neutrality villa not be exied. but
Will be permitted to return, to their farms
at the conclusion Of hostilities.
LONDON. October 24-Mr George Wynd-

orders for railway supplies IN South Africa
have been placed in the United States:
mo orders have been placed In the
United States by Col. Girourd in connec-
ton with the South African railways. and
I am confident that the alarm ascribed to
British manufacturers lest they should not
have an opportunity Of profiting by the
business which will follow the war is I'M
founded.

CLEN ELAND WILL NOT VOTE,
He Has Not Said He Would SuppOr,
MCk Inley.

The New York Herald of today publishes
the following letter from ex-President
Cleveland:
To the Editor OF the Herald:
l said to a Trenton newspaper representa-
tive that l was not aware of having made
any statement that would justify the as
sertion that l would support Mckinley. 1t
was only this and nothing more.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
Princeton, N. j., October %, 1900.
Former President Grover Cleveland, when
interviewed yesterday regarding the report
that he would support President Mckinley.
said: 81 am not aware Of having made any
statement that would justify the assertion
that l would support Mr.. Mckinley"
This interview was obtained at Mr.. Cleve-
lands home In Princeton. Mr.. Cleveland.
for personal reasons. does not care to enter
into the strife Of the political campaign.
His views on the financial question are in
line with those entertained by thousands of
democrats who are this year supporting Mr..
Bryan, on the issues of Imperialism and the
trusts, feeling that those issues are para
mount.
The former President received a letter
from the west short time ago asking If he
had changed his views on the financial
question. His reply was that he had not.
His friends say his letter of reply was in
dustriously circulated by the republican
press, anu us 1nedillIlS distorted TO make 1t
appear that he would support the admins
tration and Mr.. Mckinley. Mr. Cleveland
does not care to have any of his political
friends put such construction on the let
ter, and makes it clear that his financial
views We're not to be taken as implying a
support Of the republican ticket.
As result of the visits made recently to
Princeton. n. j.. by agents of the demo-
cratic state committee of this state for the
purpose of inducing Mr.. Cleveland to de-
clare for Mr.. Bryan when he speaks in
Princeton tomorrow. it was announced at
the Hoffman House last night that Mr..
Cleveland will not vote this year
1t was said that Mr.. Cleveland is in sym-
pathy with those portions of the Kansas
City platform which deal with Imperialism
because they reflect, in a large measure
views which he himself expressed when he
was President: but while it Is understood
he indorses this part Of the platform II
was said that he rejects the financial plank
and other radical features Of the party
declaration. For this reason, according to
the story told at the Hoffman House, Mr.
Cleveland will find 1t convenient to remain
away from the polls and possibly to be
away on a shooting trip on election day
