 fn New York State.

Their bodies were recovered within an hour.

EARTHQUAKES IN PHILIPPINES
4 Series of Them i'm INIindanao-Many
 Natives Killed.

Washington, Aug. 27.-The war de- partment to-day received telegram from General Chaffee at Manila report ing the occurrence of series of earth quakes on the island of Mindanao Twenty persons were killed by falling walls the victims all being Moros. The Americans in the vicinity escaped and the dispatch says there were no reports that any of the soldiers occupying that portion of the island affected sustained any injuries. The upheaval occurred in the country adjacent to the lake of Lanao, in the Moro section of the island, near Camp Vickers, which is now the headquarters of the American forces stationed in Mindanao. General Chaf- fees cablegrams say the mountains and rivers and streams were considerably disturbed and much damage was done. The extent of the damage, however, was not reported. It is presumed here that the seismic shocks occurred about five days ago, though the date is not mentioned in the dispatch. This is the first serious earthquake reported from that country during American occupa- ton of the Philippines The most im- portant previous seismic disturbance in Mindanao was the one that partly de- stroyed some towns on the banks of the river Mindanao in 1872. This prenome- non closely followed the eruption of the volcano of Makaturin.
 Manila, Aug. 27.-The Island of Min danao has been shaken by series of earthquakes which commenced August 21 The inhabitants were terrorized, and 8 few Moros were killed. There were no American casualties. The com- missary buildings and the Moro forts were badly damaged. Brigadier-Ge eral Sumner, in command of the Ameri- can troops in Mindanao; telegraphed that a dozen heavy earthquakes and 400 slight tremors were felt at Zam- boang MindanaO,

GOVERNOR GAGE DEFEATED.
End of Hot Fnctional Fight in Cali.
 f0rnta.

fornia.
 Sacramento, Cal, Aug. 27.-The most hotly contested factional fight in the history of the republican party in Cali fornia came to an end to-day, when the sixth ballot was taken in the state convention for the gubernatorial nomi- nation.
 When the convention raassembled this morning the forces of Governor Gage were still hopeful of making some com- bination whereby the deadlock could be broken.
 Governor Gage reached his highest vote on the fourth ballot. when SS91s votes were credited to him, and on the next he dropped to 335ts. The end came amid the greatest confusion. When Shasta county was reached in the sixth roll call the Gage people began to cast their votes for -Pardee, and then the slide toward the Alameda county phy- sician commenced amid an uproar that interfered with the taking of the ballot. Long before Santiago county was reached Dr. Pardee's nomination was assured, and then the Flint men struck their colors and paid Pardee the com pliment of voting for him.
 J. c. Hayes, of San Jose, one of the unsuccessful candidates, moved to mawe the nomination unanimous. pr. Pardee was called to the platform and made brief address, thanking the convention and predicting success.
 The final was: Pardee 51S, Gage 13, Flint 215, Hayes 47, Edson 13.

 ''Mr. Sage is a wise man, but he Is wrong in this instance. claim that the American people can settle any question they choose and peacefully. The Amer ican people cannot be made to do any, thing they do not want to do, and when they get ready perhaps they will lay down the law as to the trusts. There will not be any revolution, however, and I consider myself as good an oracle as those who think otherwise"

Ole Capture of an
Emperor Penguin

In an article on 1.-The Fauna of the
South Pole,'' giving the results of re
cent explorations within the antarctic
circle, NJ. E. G. Racovitza describes in
the Revue ScientiQue the Emperor
Penguin, perhaps the most curious of
all his tribe. Says NJ. Racovitza:
The emperor of the Penguins (Apte
nodytes Forsteri) well deserves this
fattering title. His height reaches LILO
meters 6 feet inches), and his weight
40 kilos {SS pounds His black head
has a greenisn ulster and is relatively
small; it has. a long black beak with
one blue and one scarlet stripe. The
back is of somber color with blue spots
and on his vast breast extends a white
apron with golden luster. He bears
proudly an orange colored mark on
either side Of his head and two small
black epaulets are fastened to his
shoulders. Solidly planted on the tri-
pod formed of his large palmate feet
and his tail of solid and flexible feath-
ers, he lets his wings drop negligently
at his sides like huge arms. His neck
slightly bent, his beak pointed stra1gnt
forward, his eyes half closed-thus ap-
pears the emperor of the penguins in
