OCCASIONAL SHOCKS FELT.
Roads in Los Alamo Valley in Bad
 Shape After Earthquake.

Santa Barbara, Gal, August 2.- Throughout the day occasional slight earthquake shocks were felt in Los AIamos valley.
 The wagon road over the mountain into the valley, is in bad condition, tons of boulders and dirt having fallen upon it from higher elevations Prof Larkin, of Mount Lowe observatory, who arrived at Los Alamos last even ing, says the disturbances are of a nature known as oscillatory earth quakes, and are probably due to the displacement of immense bodies of gases, seven or eight miles beNeath the surface of the earth.
 While the country about Los Ala mos gives evidence of once having been the scene of vast volcanic action, he observes nothing to indicaxe that another calamity of that nature is likely to occur.
 Prof Hilgard, president of the az ricultural department of the Universi- ty of California, telephoned Attorney Lessle advising him and the people of Los Alamos to leave their homes ard seek places of safety.

RELIGIOUS CEREMONY CUT.
Kings Stay in Westminster Ab-
 bey Will Be Brief.
Preparations for Next Saturdays Event Proceeds Mechanically Out door Program About as Previously Arranged-But Little Interest Taken in liking Continues to Improve.

in liking Continues to Improve.
 London. Aug. 2.-New preparations for the coronation of King Edward next Saturday are proceeding rather mechanically. The erection of the familiar street barriers, inc cIeansins and decorating of the stands and re-' hanging of decorations attract slight attention. Public interest III the actual proceedings however. is re-kindled by official assurance that the king is going on finely and that his majesty will be able to bear the fatigue of being crowned. The publication of the official program of the procession shows no special changes from the original ar engagement, but the ceremonies in Vest minister abbey have been curtailed by the omission of the Litany and sermon and by the recital of. the recognition once instead of four times.
 A new series of rehearsals have be- gun at the abbey, with dignified move ments and recitals, and these are far more impressive than anything con- nected with the street spectacle.
 The city council of Westminster in compliance with the kings wishes have voted that no further expenditures be incurred in replacing the street decora- tions. The club houses, which line a considerable portion of the route and most of the other buildings are being redecorated; the Canadian arch is be- ing re-dressed with fresh specimens of Canada's agricultural products and the Indian contingent is erecting an arch on Parliament street The il1umina- tions on coronation night will be large ly as originally planned. The vicinity of the bank of England, the Royal ex- change and the mansion house will be blaze of electric lights and the strand Trafalger square, Whitehall. PalI Mall. St James square and Picadilly will be gorgeous with illuminations, many of which will be displayed on Kitchener night. August 6, also.

SURPRISING NEWSPAPERS
Seems to be the Settled Policy
 of Russian Ministry.

Terrorization Was Inaugurated by M. Sipiaguin and is Followed Implicitly by His Successor-Prince Oukhtom-
 sky the Latest Victim-The Lease of His Paper to Be Cancelled in Two Months.
 St Petersburg, July 1S.-The progress sive terrorization of the Russian press which characterized the regime of M. Sipiaguin, the minister of the interior who was assassinated last April, ap- pears to have been adopted as a set tied policy by his successor, M. Von Plehve
 M. Sipiaguin closed the Northern Courier and the Rossiya After their extinction the only newspaper in St | Petersburg which maintained an inde- pendent attitude towards the govern ment was the St Petersburg Viedom- osti, an old journal which, since it passed into the control of Prince OukhtOmsky,, has been characterized l by the honorable and straightforward manner in which IL was conducted. A 1 liberal newspaper is absolutely im- possible where the censorship is as yigilant and exacting as it is in Rus lsia. Owing to the impossibility of expressing it's own views on either do nestle or foreign affairs, consistently and regularly, the Viedomosti ab- stained, except on rare occasions, from any comment whatever. Its original Inews articles were also couched in the most guarded and matter of fact l language, and were based Scrupul- ouSly on official data.
 l In spite of this censorship, the St Petersburg Viedomosi always has been characterized by it's interesting excerpts from the provincial newspa- pers. It alone, of all St Petersburg newspapers, has attempted to keep 1 it's readers informed about what was going on in the interior of Russia. It now appears that this deparment of the Viedomosti had become an eyesore to the government
 Minister Won Plehve summoned Prince Oukhtomsky to him July F and lectured him severely on his man. agement of the journal, which is I the prince the Viedomosti had become the organ of the liberals and revolu- tionists, particularly in it's provincial department. He peremptorily de
 manded the immediate dismissal of the editor of this portion of the paper | and warned him that after two months his lease of the paper, which had sev- eral years yet to run, would be can celled. M. Von Plehye concluded by saying that he had seen the czar on July 9 and had received his majesty's permission to take these severe meas
 ures.
 | Prince Oukhtomsky has long en- ljoyed measure of imperial favor. After he accompanied the czar, when heir apparent, on the princes famous
 journey around the world, he was
 made president of the Russo-C Chinese bank, and his unrivaled knowledge of China and Shinese affairs has certain | ly been of great service to the govern ment. It is generally understood that heretofore when pressed or threat ened by the late minister, Prince
 Oukhtomsky has been able to save
 himself by a personal appeal to the
 czar.
