The seismic disturbances of the past
year have resulted in the first steps to-
ward an international conference on the
subject. Count Quadt, charge d affairs
of the German Embassy, has presented
to the State Department note request
ing the presence of representatives OF
the United States at conference to be
held next spring at some point in Eu-
rope. In so tar as developed, the pres
ent plan is to determine upon feasible
plan of investigating seismic disturb
ances, at the proposed conference and
then form an int, national board OF
Investigation which will work in har-
mony with central policy, making ST.
multaneous observations and frequent
comparisons of data obtained. While
no answer will be sent to Count Quadt
until Secretary Hay returns to Wash
ington. it is not doubted that the invi-
tatlon will be eventually accepted. The
fearful disaster of st. Pierre and the
recent disturbances in California have
added interest to the subject IRON an
American standpoint.

With the exception Of Secretary Shaw
Of the Treasury, who is in the city oc-
casionally for few days at time, ev-
cry member of the Cabinet is out Of the
city. This is in accordance with the
expressed wish of the President who
claims that no man can render the most
efficient service to himself or the gov
eminent, who does real head work for
more than eleven months out of the
twelve. But, Notwithstanding the ab :
sence of the heads and even OF the as
sistant heads of departments, the work
of the government is proceeding with
unusual smoothness. This fact was re.
Gently explained to your correspondent
by the statement that when heads of de.
partments were out of the city every
employee was permitted to perform his
duties without interference, whereas,
when the Secretaries and particularly
the members of Congress, were in the
city, there was constant interruption
and annoyance by the demands for spe.
cial service and for remunerative posi-
tions for friends and henchmen Of mem,
bers. Secretary Shaw is credited with
very similar observation. He says
that ever since he came into office he
has been trying to divorce the manage
ment of the Treasury Department from
politics.

riches and honor to poverty, disgrace
and crime.
