LONDON. nov l5.-lt is necessary to re-

American manufacturers for foreign mar
kets agans, the folly of supplying any
thing except the best materials in the early
and critical periods of their trade with
European and other customers Every
failure or shortcoming from what aver cause,
is seized upon and exploited for the general
discredit Of the American trade.
The London papers constantly print
complaints In regard TO these matters,
such as one which came from the manager
of the Assam Railway Company. He says
that four American locomotives, which
were received less than four years ago.
require new crown plates. He adds that
the makers Of the locomotives ought TO
pay the cost Of repairs. as failure after
such short spece of time could only be
due TO carelessness In designs
This moves a writer in the Times to ex-
press the hope that the Indian Railway
Company will learn some day that the low
est priced engine is not necessarily the

LONDON, Nov. 15.-Prof. John Milne, tho

shaking earthquakes before the Royal
Geographical Society yesterday. He gave
the latest information which science can
furnish about the phenomena which during
the past year more than ever before have
attracted popular interest.
II Is now known that about 80 600 earth
quakes occur annually. These are divided
into two groups. continental. which usu-
ally disturb the whole globe, and local
which usually have only a radius of a few
miles The former are the result Of sud-
den accelerations in the process of rock
folding. The latter are settlements and
adjustments along lines of primary tract
ures. The relationship Of the two groups

Important earthquakes seem to propa-
gate a series of waves through the world
in all directions. The first movement
passed through the diameter Of the earth
in about twenty-five minutes. These
movements are congressional IN character
The second phase of the motion. which
forms the principal part of the seismoEram
is made up of larger waves. Their aver
age period varies from fifteen to thirty
seconds. but periods of sixty seconds have
been observed. Prof Milne says he is in
cined 10 the opinion that the movement
is unduatory in character like an ocean

POOR RANAVALONA.
France Gives the Captive Queen = Short
OUTING ON the Edge Of the sahara.

For some Years Ranavalona. the former
Queen OF Madagascar, has been in captivity
in the city OF Algiers. The French iovern-
ment decided short time ago to give her e.
brief outing on the edge of the Sahara, where
the air is very pure and many invalds resort.
The former Queen and her attendants. there
fore, were sent on the railroad to Biskra on
the edge OF the desert in the south OF the
inhabited part Of Algeria.
Biskra is famous as a collecting point for
the great date crop of southern Algeria,
the largest source Of dates in the world.
Business, therefore, is quite brisk al Biskra,
and IL is lively modern town with con-
siderable number of good buildings, in
cluding hotels for tourists who go there for
their health, or more frequently to look over
the expanse of the sea Of sand to the south
OF them; a few Of them, very anxious to
rush into print, have been known to come
home and write voiuminous chapters on the
Sahara desert. though all they saw Of it was
the little area spread away to the horizon
that may he viewed from the roofs Of Bis
kra.
This is an entirely new experience for the
former Queen Of Madagascar. Her island,
one OF the largest in the world, is clad in
to the tops Of the highest mountains. She
never saw anything like a desert before.
Perhaps she was glad to be in place even
for few days where nothing could remind
her Of the island over which she was once
the absolute ruler
Six years ago Gen. Gallieni was appointed
by France Governor General Of Madagascar
which his army had Conq cred. He no
sooner received the appointment than he
issued proclamation warning the Hovas
against further revolt against the power
of France. and made this alusion TO their
Queen whom he had banshed from tho
country:

LONDON'S TRAFFIC PROBLEM.

sion to solve II Is Favored.
Special Gable Despatch TO THE SrS.


LONDON, Nov. l5-In the House Of Com
mons last Tuesday Prime Minister Balfour
gave the provisional opinion. subject to
further consideration, that the best course
10 take in regard to solving the problem
Of the congestion of the traffic of London
would probably Ire TO appoint a Royal
Commission.
His objection TO this course was the fear
that the appointment Of such a commission
would unduly delay matter of urgent
need and immediate attention.
How the relief of London in this respect
has been delayed already may he seen
when il is considered that during the years
1901 -O2 bills were promoted in Parliament
providing for eighty-two miles of tube
railway. yet, as a net result Of the vast ex-
pense involved not a single new under
taking has been sanctioned
A solution Of the difficulty, which is fairly
widely advocated ia the appointment by
the Board Of Trade Of an expert tribunal.
This would consider the needs of London
as a whole and the relations Of existing
lines to any general system. and then formu-
late a general scheme adapted to the wants
uf the metropolis and lay down general
terms in regard to its construction and
operation Parliament would then con-
slider offers for the construction and working
of the various sections of this prearranged
system. The Times and other newspapers
favor the scheme. In regard TO the neccs-
sity Of some portions Of a system thus
laid down being less remunerative than
others, and therefore unattractive to the
promoters, the Times suggests that Parlia-
ment or the Board Of Trade might find
terms on which capital could be attracted
either by grad ng them to suit the probable
traffic Of different sections, or by encourage
ng a combination to deal with the whole
upon average conditions.

subject of being entitled to all the pre-

ton will not be- felt, as Lord Fairfax's peer

The Chancellor told Lord Fairfax that he
was eligible to election to the House OF

would refuse 10 ISSUE a writ for the seat
on the ground that he was an alien. II he
desired to become British il would be neces-
