HAY WAS DIPLOMATIC EVER
The Late Secretary of State Had 8 Way with Him" That
 Always Won.

Story Is told of the late John Hay Illustrative of that fine diplomatic temperament that made his name know all over the world, says the American Spectator.
 Some years ago MT. Hay sent MT. Alexander Gum, of Cleveland. for his perusal the manuscript of an interest ing bit of work by Mark Twain, en- titled, "A Conversation as it was at the Social Preside in the Time of the Tudors." Mir. Hay knew that his friend Gum, a connoisseur of litera- ture and art, would be much interest," ed In what the former termed a "seri- ous effort to bring back our literature and philosophy to the chaste, Eliza bethan standard"
 Now it appears that MT. Gum was so delighted with Twain's sketch that he wrote to MT. Hay proposing to print limited number of copies there of for private distribution. It is said that MT. Hay replied as follows:
 The proposition you make to pull a few proofs of Twain's masterpiece is highly attractive, and, of course. high ly immoral. cannot properly consent to the suggestion, as I am afraid the great man would think was taking an unfair advantage of his confidence Accordingly, I will thank you to send back the manuscript as soon as pos sible; but if, in spite of my prohibi- tion, you take those proofs, save me one"
 It was superfluous to add that, with this hint the proofs were "pulled''- Gum.

NEWFOUNDLAND FISHERIES.
Conclusion Of q MOdus VINendi Covering the
Rights OF American Fishermen.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5-Ambassador Reid,
in London informed the State Department
TO-DAY of the conc usion wth the British
Foreign Office Of a modus vivendi covering
the rights Of American fishermen IN NeW-
foundfand waters. II is believed that the
agreement, which is to exist for the coming
fishing season only, will prevent a recur-
renee Of the troubles between American
fishermen and the authorities OF the New,
foundland Government such as occurred
several times last season. In the meanJlIne
a more lasting understanding may pc
brought about which will probably be in
the shape Of a new treaty. q,
Under the terms Of the modus vivendi
the British Government agrees not TO in
terfere with the use OF purse nets, thu
| setting aside the Newfoundland law pro-
hibiting the use Of that particular kind OF
! net. and also not to enforce the law passed
nv the Newfoundland Government eighteen
months ago forbidding American fishing
vessels to ship natives Of Newfoundland
! from the coast. This lawh has been evaded
by Americans through a subterfuFeoI taking
men on board their boats outside the three
| mile limit, the men going out to the vessels
in small boats.
In return for these concessions the state
Department has agreed that the Americans
shall not feh on Sundays, that the United
states shall pay duties for the maintenance
of lighthouses, and that, whenever possible,
American vessels shall report their presence
to the nearest Newfoundland custom
house. The Americans have never made
such reports, principally because Of the
Joe. which il usually In harboTS where
custom houses are located. The dangers
OF the ice will he accepted az O valid excuse
for vessels not reporting.

ANOTHER GREAT EARTHQUAKE
The Weather Bureau On the Disturbance
Reported In the Far East.

WASHINGTON Oct. 5.-The Weather Blu
reau issued the following bulletin thisa after
noon on another great earthquake:
THE s~eismographs at the Weather
Bureau recorded another earthquake, be-
ginning abo ut 9O5 p. M seventy-fifth
meridian time, October l. The distinctive
features Of the record consist in the long
duration Of the earthquake and especially
the long duration of the relatively fA7ong
motion. The amplitude OF the ssiong
motion as recorded at Washington was
only about 3 Of a millimetre, which rs
very much less than in the case OF either
the San Francisco or the valparaiso earth
uuakes. The record indicates, however,
that the disturbance was at \ very great
distance from Washington; in fact. almost
at the a~ntipodes, or within an lndennlCe
reOion in the Indian Ocean westerly from
Australia.
aSome of the characteristics Of the record
are doubtless explained when we consider
that great earthquake waves, radlatlng
i'm all directions from a distant origin,
as in the present case, could arrive at Wasn-
inRton by many different paths over and
through the crust OF the earth ana AT shgntly
| different times, depending upon correspond
ing differences in the lengths OF respective
Daths. The effect of a partial superposltlon
of wave motion thus produced would tend
to prolong the duration OF the disturbance
as recorded in Washington.
There is every evidence from the records
that this is another great earthquake.
Ii would seem unlikely that II was especially
| disastrous, in view OF its probable location
in the bed of the Indian Ocean. 1t might,
however, have beep.accompanied by strong
tidal waves. Advices have Just been re-
ceived from the London Daily Mail thai
a great earthquake has been recorded on
the seismoRraphs at Perth and Sydney,
Australia, which are not far distant from
the estimated origin as deducted from the
Washington observations.

OFFICIAL ROOFS
ARE PRECAR|OUS
Housing of City Depart
ments Is a Serious
Problem.
Many Are Now Threat
ened With Notices
to Move Out.

Micawber like. there Is more than
one of the departments that conducts
the affairs of the city and county Of
San Francisco waiting for something
to turn up. Just at present what would
please these departments more than
anything else would be a home
Uncomfortable, as are some Of the
departments they are likely to be more
uncomfortable when the 1st of July
rolls around and they obey the order
of the Board of Education to leave the
school buildings and locate elsewhere.
Nor are those officials housed in
school buildings the only ones to feel
a sinking of heart when ii comes to
talking about headquarters. The Board
of Supervisors, now lessee of the lower
floor of MONTY Hall. is in danger of
being thrown out. and it is impossible
to tell what will happen Thrifty
Morris Levy, who has lease on this
floor. sublet to the Supervisors for 5000
month.
Levy hes been paying a fraction of
that amount and the man who owns
the building wants share of the
profits. He has notified Levy that his
lease does not permit of transfer to
third party, and it may be that the
Supervisors viii soon be paying rent
to another landlord. or have the trouble
of finding another location.
While the Supervisors have taken no
official action toward securing quarters
it is understood that the finance com
mittee has in mind a scheme by which
piece of ground at Fifth and Market
streets. owned by the municipality,
could be used. There is a lease of the
premises that has twenty months to
run, but it is believed that the lessee
could easily be persuaded TO turn over
his rights
"A building could be put on that
ground" said one of the Supervisors
that would cost from s150,000 to
5000, 900. in which practically all of the
departments could be housed. At pres
ent accommodations are hardly salts
factory and this building could be
ready for use in two or three months.
In the meantime what is to become
of the Board of Health? Where will
the Mayor, as we'll as others. find quar-
ters? They are drifting and will hope
that some solution of the question will
come about before the 1st of July
