DAY. MORE OR LESS.
Crossing the international Date Line
in the Pacific Ocean.

Crossing the international Date Line
in the Pacific Ocean.
Few incidents Of trip to the Phil
ippine Islands, which SO many Amer1-
cans now have occasion to make, are
more interesting than the crossing of
the international date line, that mag
mary boundary where, in going west
ward, a day is dropped from the calan.
dar, and in going eastward one is AIDED.
A California Congressman and his wife
happened to reach it, on the outward
trip, at midnight of July 3, so that they
woke up to find the next morning the
9TH, and that they had lost the ma
tional holiday for the first time in
their lives. To have a September %
for two days in succession on their
return would, on grounds of sentiment,
be en- insufficient compensation.
The teachers who go out on the
transports to the Philippines usually
arrange elaborate entertainments to
signalize the date line. One Of then
number is often dressed up as Nep-
tune, and other characters follow in a
tivities are made as fanciful as the
resources and ingenuity of the party
permit. Sailors on merchantmen as
we'll as passengers on the fast mail
steamers are accustomed to observe
the day with some celebration.
One of the old governors Of Massa-
chusetts, on being asked to speak at a
State normal school which he was Wis
iting, submitted this conundrum:
Would person who had travelled
around the world 800 times in an east
early direction be year older than
the records in the family Bible show
ed? If not, why not?" The governor
explained that such a traveller would
actually have lived one day more for
each trip than the calendar showed as
having passed
In practice. the length of the trim
around the world Is such as to discour
age most people from adding to their

Like the boundaries of our standard
time-belts on this continent, the inter.
national date line has been so drawn
as to occasion the least possible incon.
venience. 1t deviates from the one
hundred and eightieth meridian enough
to leave all the islands as well as each
continent wholly on one side or. the

ARBlTERS IN SESSION.
Miners Strike Commi ssion Begins
Work at White Houae.

The members of the strike arbitration
commission, appointed by President
Roosevelt, met at the White House short
ly after 10 o'clock Friday morning and
went into conference with the President.
The President greeted the members of
the commission cordially. The interview
was brief, lasting scarcely twenty min
utes. The work to be done by the com
mission was informally discussed. The
President impressed upon the commits
sion the Importance of expedition and in
formed them that he had decided to ap-
point two assistants to the recorder, to
facilitate the work.
He then presented to them their in
structions, as follows:

OF the operators and of the miners | have

arose BY the action you recommend,
which the parties in interest have in I'D
vance consented to abide by, you will en-
deavor to establish the relations between
the employers and wage earners in the

WARNS EUROPE TO UNITE.
Andrew Carnegie Says America Will
Overshadow World.


Overshadow World.
At ST. Andrews, Scotland, Andrew
Carnegie the other day suggested the for
nation of the United States of Europe.
He appealed to Emperor William Of Ger
many as the most puissant of monarchs
available for the work to take the first
steps necessary to accomplish the de-
sired result Mr. Carnegie urged Il po-
litical and industrial union of the Euro
pean States. Only by means of such a
union, he said, could Europe ever repel
the American invasion of the markets of
the world; only by such means could Eu-
rope hope to go forth and conquer fields
of commerce for her own advantage.
France Germany and Russia might form
the nucleus about which the new union
could be effected
1.-THE Gar" continued Mr.. Carnegie,
"having taken the first step toward the
peace of the world in The Hague con
ference, the other mighty emperor might
some day be impressed with the thought
that it is due to himself and to Germany
to play Il great part upon the wider stage
of Europe, as her deliverer from the i'll
cubus which Expresses and weakens her,
the appalling, paralyzing fear of war and
Of ruin between members of her own
body"
Mr.. Carnegie gave expression to his
views in his rectoral address at st. An

DANES KILL ISLE TREATY.
United States Cannot Buy Lands De
sired in West Indies,

United States Cannot Buy Lands De-
sired in West Indies.
The landsthing, the upper house Of the
Danish Rigsdag, has refused to ratify the
sale of the Danish West Indies to the
United States. The vote was a tie--32
to 30. The sale of the islands was APP
proved by the lower house of the last
parliament, but the landsthing rejected
the treaty. In June Of this year Den
mark and the United States agreed to
extend the time for the ratification of the
treaty for one year. Meanwhile a new
parliament was elected and it was
thought that there was a safe majority
of two or three in favor of the sale in
the upper house. The lower house was
always overwhelmingly in favor of the
sale.
The predominant sentiment through out
Denmark is undoubtedly pro-sale, and
the rejection of the treaty is attributed
chiefly to a domestic political effort to
embarrass the government and bring
about the resignation of the ministry
The question of the sale Of the islands
may not remain dead for any length of
time.
When official confirmation of the action
of the Danish upper house in declining
to ratify the treaty for the sale of the
Danish West Indies to the United States
was received at the State Department in
Washington, the officials of the depart
ment expressed themselves as much dis-
appointed.
1t is believed that the Danish people.
the noble classes excepted, are heartily
in favor of selling the islands, which
have been continual expense to the
crown

the local mine operators deplore the
occurrence at Shenandoah. They say
the presence of the soldiers, however,
will encourage the operators to start
up thir mines. and after the collieries
in the SchuylNll district are Pat in
operation it will only be a question of
time until mines in other parts of the
strike belt resume, for the miners OF
the Wyoming and Lackawanna valleys

while their brethren in other parts of
the region are working
It is the history of past coal strikes
that the presence of the militia is al.

the local operators who could be seen
today are Of the opinion that the back

SOUGHT DEATH IN RIVER.
His Attempted Suicide Frustrated, but
He Dies From Shock.

Wilmington. N. c., July 31-Ma-
tor Abraham WE'LL. for 25 years solic-
iting agent Of the Atlantic Coast Line,
and one of the Oldest and most promi-
nent Jewish citizens of Wilmington,
is dead as result Of his attempt to
commit suicide yesterday afternoon
by jumping into the Cape Fear river.
The great shock, coupled with his ex-
treme age, oyercame his physical
strength and he expired without hav-
ing fully regained consciousness after
his tragic attempt.
The causes leading up to his de-
plorable act are unknown to his clos
est friends. He had been in ill-health
for few weeks. and the past day or
two seemed blue and depressed. With
out . word of warning to anybody he
deliberately walked into the river yes
terday and by quick action a man
standing on the dock at the time res
cued him. but against the strong pro
test of the would-be suicide.
Major WE'LL was II years old. He
was born in Germany, but came here
early In life. He served in the con-
federate army. Since the war he has
been prominent in the business inter-
ests of the city.

Physicians are calling attention to the
fact that influenza or grip has come to
stay. In the larger cities there has been
a marked increase in diseases affecting
the organs of respiration, which increase
is attributed to the prevalence of influ-
enza. Persons who are recovering from
grip or influenza are in a weak condition
and peculiarly liable to pulmonary dis
ease.

Briaadier General Goblin of Pennsyl-
vania National Guard Says He Will
Also Call out Batteries of Artillery
If Conditions Warrant.

Shenandoah, Pa, July S1.-Nearly
all OF the residents Of this town were
up all night awaiting with anxiety the
arrival of the militia. 1t was notice
able that the pickets who have been
guarding the approaches to the mines
were not on duty this morning, but II
they had been their vigilance would
not have been rewarded, as no per
son was venturesome enough to run
the gauntlet after the exciting expert
ences Of yesterday.
Brigadier General Goblin, Pennsyi-
yania national guard, accompanied by
the Pottsville and Pine Grove compa,
nies of the Fourth regiment, and all
of the Schuylllill county companies OF
the Eighth regiment, arrived here at
$50 o'clock this morning. To an AS
sociated Press correspondent he said
that in addition to these two compa-
nics of the Fourth regiment he has
ordered out the entire Twelfth and
Eighth regiments, and the governors
troop. If he finds that the conditions
here warrant it, he. intends calling out
the batteries of artillery.
1t is impossible to obtain the names
of the wounded foreigners. Even
the doctors who are attending them do
not know their names.
The physicians are looking after
the wounds of 20, and have little hope
for the recovery of at least two. Police
man Yacopsky is still in precarious
condition, but the other wounded po'
licemen are doing well.
Joseph Beddell, who was reported
to have died on the way to the Min
ers' hospital. is still alive at that In
stitution, but small hopes are enter
tanned of his recovery.
The order to the troops was issued
after 1 o'clock this morning and details
were sent to Pottsville, Minersville,
Schuylkillhaven and other towns In
this vicinity to summon the members
of the Eighth and Twelfth regiments
to duty. Although the guardsmen are
scattered throughout the county, sew.
eral commands were mobillzed here
in about two hours after the call.

Los Animas, Cal, July 31.-The
most severe earthquake in the history
of this place occurred e, 1:20 o'clock
this morning. 1t is not possible as
yet to estimate the damage, but it is
very heavy. No lives are known to
have been lost, though there were
many narrow escapes.
Every brick building in town was
destroyed or badly wrecked In near
ly every house windows were broken.
The Presbyterian church, large and
handsome brick structure, was razed
to the ground, and a similar fate be-
fell the general store Of w. S. Wick
enben, also a brick building.
The shock seemed to have had a
spiral motion. Goods were hurled
from shelves of stores and piled in
the middle Of the rooms. Even such
heavy articles as desks were thrown
about. Not a chimney is left stand
ing in the town, All brick walls are
badly damaged, but frame structures
generally escaped serious injury. In
a drug store not a single bottle es-
capped, and a saloon was flooded with
liquor from broken bottles
The whole town was aroused, and
people fed from their homes to the
streets in panic. There have been
several light shocks since July q,
when the first heavy shock occurred,
but that Of this morning exceeded in
violence anything yet experienced.

indoors into unacceptable heaps,

stroying thousands of dollars worth
Of goods. Citizens are leaving town
by train and in all available vehicles.
Three distinct shocks We're recorded
between 1925 and 7:30 this morning,
and the latter disturbances added
much to the terror of the inhabitants.
President Benjamin Ide Wheeler, OF
the University OF California, was com.
municted with by telephone and ad.
yised the people to quit the town as
soon as possible He also advised
that the doors of residences and places
of business be left open so that thC~a
indoors might escape to the streets
without delay in the event of further
disturbances. The advice of Presi.
dent Wheeler was communicated to
the people at once, and was immedi-
ately acted on.
1t is impossible to estimate the fnan.
cial loss at this time with any degree
of accuracy, but it is believed that the
disturbance of the last three or four
days have damaged at least $4,000
worth of property.
Reports from other sections of the
valley probably will increase the
amount by many thousands.
