All the mountains Of Japan are Of
unqucstioned volcanic origin, and Full
stands where Houdo, the main Island,
IS broadcast. About twenty craters are
still active throughout the islands. but
Fuji-san belongs to the much greater
number which are now inactive. Its
last eruption occurred in 1907, eontn-
hing more than month. AS far away
as Tokyo, sixty miles northeast, the
ashes fell to a depth of seven or eight
inches, while on the Tokaido, twelve
or fifteen miles southeast, the accu-
mutation was six feet. At this time
was formed H9yei-san, a secondary,
or parasitic cone on the southeast
slope.

within 5000 feet of the elevation Of

We notice that A. H. Manship, a
Regular Republican, is still Milton's
postmaster. despite the frantic efforts
of eertain Union Republicans TO oust
him. These people, so it is said
brought charges against the postmaster

open during business hours and that
he. on several occasions, refused to re-
turn to the office after locking it for
the night to get mail for late arrivals.
Postoftlce Inspector Maxwell came here
and investigated the matter The ex-
pressions of appreciation of RIanehip as
postmaster are many, and the accusers
are being condemned in bitter terms
for their underhand methods. Il is the
lopinion of many that this attack will
add TO. rather than detract from the

William MIehaeIs letter
M The News and Advertiser.

From the News and Advertiser.
What does the present hour de-
mand" OF the color-bearers of the Re
publican party today? Nothing so
much as courage to face conditions
without thought OF self Everyone
who has enlisted in the battle against
corrupt politics has made some per
sonal sacrifice for honOr's sake. 1t is
always so. But there is recompense
in the consciousness OF having done
ones duty. The race is his who runs
TO the end.
Evidently Mr.. Byrne is growing tired
OF the smoke of battle. and so anxious
for rest that he would lay down his
arms and take sweet repose even in the
camp Of the enemy. For that is all his
recent letter can mean. He does not
say that he believes Mr.. Addicks the
proper man to represent Delaware in
the Senate or that he would take tho
Gasman's followers into his conf
dences but says that 1T is not good
morals or good politics to brand 10000
of our fellow countrymen whose votes
are necessary for Republican supem-
acy as corrupt and venal men, when
their characters and their positions
in the community are known to con-
tribute to the stability of our institu-
tions' No one believes these 10000
men TO be venal; yet we believe the
exception to Mr.. Addicks' leadership
to be we'll taken. SO, evidently does
Mr. Byrne.
We don't pretend to say that our
friend, William Michael. has had a
vision to prompt him to go on so; but
we do know that that man who in his
student days was at the head Of his
class at West Point. who in early man
hood served his country with conspic-
uous ability on the battlefield Of the
Civil War" etc, Quoting from Mr..

TENDENCY 10 SETTLE DOWN.
Market Showed inclination to Re
sumo Its Normal Condition,
Wednesday.

New York, Oct. 2.-There were
traces of feverishness in the stock
market yesterday and constant yaria-
lions in the course of prices all day,
but the tone became quieter as the
day progressed, and affairs OF the mar
ket showed a tendency to settle down
TO normal condition after the ex-
element of the previous two days.
The rush on the part Of those long
on stock to take profits in the open
ing dealings yesterday morning was
entirely natural, considering the buoy
ant uprush Of prices at the CLOSING
Tuesday night, and considering also
the denials on the part ct oficials
among the coal operators that there
was any basis for Tuesdays rumoTs
of settlement.
These rumors continued to play a
part in the market and the principal
strength of the day was shown by the
coal stocks, the buying OF Reading
apparently coming from inside
sources. The same powerful interest
was credited with the support vi
other stocks, notably United states
Steel and Southern Railway, and the
sentimental effect of this buying was
potent factor in rallying the mar
ket from it's opening depression. The
only actual news that became public
before the close of the market con-
corning the strike situation was the
invitation of President Roosevelt for
a meeting with him of the represent
atives of the mine operators and the
miners. The sympathetic effect OF the
buying Of Reading, Southern Railway
and United States Steel was manifest
among the coalers gem rally, both an
thracite and bituminous, and among
several of the independent steel com
panies. But the buying was not pur
sued to a notably higher level, and
there were constant reactions through
out the day. In the final hour the
money rate ran up to the highest
point Of the day and induced consid
cradle selling, making the CLOSING
easy and moderately active.
