the fact that during the last three maxi
mum years of the eleven-year sun spot
period there has been more activity in Mt.
Vesuvius than at any other time. Thus

been expected"
Sir Norman Is Of the opinion that the

quake ut San Francisco were due TO the

opinion that the sun spots are causing
terrific electrical discharges, which are
affecting the interior Of the earth.
The well-lnown French astronomer.
Camille Flammarion, thinks there proba-
blv was close connection between the
eruption of Vesuvlus and the earthquake.
He also thinks It quite possible that the
earthquake was caused by Popoeatepetl,
the Mexican volcano. whose distance from
San Francisco, geologica1ly speaking, is
not great.
NJ. Flammaron, however, ascribes 1t
Immediately to the tension of the super
heated steam that exists in pockets Sow
eral miles below the surface OF the earth.
Throughout geological history, he says.
there are evidences OF extreme lateral
pressure. the pressure OF which has
broken the crust of the earth into noun
tains and valleys, and 1t is known that
these lateral motions are still going on
today
Although the surface of the earth APP
parently remains calm. there is no real
equilibrium in the strata of the earth,
and the earthquake of Wednesday, in his
opinion, was the outcome of the explo-
sion of gases and the movement of super
heated steam several miles below San
Francisco.

on the other hand laughs at the idea of
there being any connection between the
earthquake and volcanic disturbances. He
Is convinced that the earth movement was

Ambassador Mccormick Speaks.
"When my friend and compatriot, Mr.
John H. Harjes esteemed at home and
abroad informed me of his intention to
present statue of Benjamin Franklin
to the city of Paris, it seemed to me
that the occasion should be seized upon
for a demonstration of that warm friend
ship which exists between the world s
two great republics and for which
Franklin so firmly laid the foundation.
The happy coincidence of the approach of
the bcentary of Franklin's birth opened
the way for us to broaden the unwilling
ceremonies into the fete which you have
been asked to honor with your presence.
The spontaneous and hearty cooperation
of the French government has given to-
this fete the international character
which brings into relief that chapter in
Frankin's life which belongs to France
as well as to the United States, and
which l trust will ever be held dear to
the hearts Of citizens of both countries.
In every land throughout the civilized
world days during the year are set apart
to celebrate its advent into the ranks
of independent and sovereign states, as
well as the birth of the great men whose
lofty character inspired the masses with
admiration and confidence, and whose
firm and unerring hand guided the frail
ship of state through the stormy strug-
gle for independence. or of revolution
against a tyrannical regime.
Keep Patriotic Fires Alive.
"These celebrations have their practical
value in keeping the fires of patriotism
alive with that love of country which
inspires the soldier to leave home and
family to take up arms for the defense
of it's honor and its rights.
'On the initiation of Frances ally. his
majesty, the emperor of all the Russas

Cover nmerts might have a court of ar

public sentiment holds from or impels
governments to action, and that better
acquaintance, that closer entente between
people which such interval celebrations as
this warm into life or keep alive, makes
as never before for the cause of general
peace and the well-belng of mankind.
Link Closer the Ties.
"The president of the United States has
already shown in the most practical form
and with notable success his desire to
contribute to this end. In appointing
suitable presons to speak for the United
States on this occasion. 1t was. there
fore. his purpose not only to celebrate
the bicentenary of Benjamin Franklin,
and by this joint celebration link closer
the ties that bind France to the United

FRANKLIN STATUE
UNVEILED IN FRANCE
Notable Tribute is Paid by
Orator Smyth
IS GIFT OF AN AMERICAN
Ambassador Mccormick Presldes at
Exercises and Vast Crowd Was
Massed on Trooadero Square,
Where Statue Is to Rest.

Paris, April 27.-t2:S0 p. m.)-The Frank
lin celebration, preceding the unwilling
today Of the statue of Benjamin Frank
lin, presented to the city of Paris by
John H. Harles. the American banker
of this city. was held in the palace of the
Trocadero this afternoon.
Today's ceremony began in the palace
Of the Troeadero and was continued later
before the vast crowd massed on the Tro-
eadero square, where the statue of Frank
lin overlooks the splendid esplanade and
the avenues leading to the Triumphal
Arch and the Seine.
Duplicate of Philadelphia Statue.
The statue of Benjamin Franklin which
was unveiled today is a duplicate of the
one in front of the Philadelphia post
office. which is considered by many critics
to be a masterpiece, and the best statue
of Franklin ever made. 1t represents
Franklin seated in his favorite arm chair
comfortably EMBODIED in dressing robe
At the side and little TO the rear
of the chair is large book, as If
1t had just fallen from the hands of
the great scientist and diplomat. Frank
Inns attitude is one of repose and from
the expression of his calm face there
seems to shine forth those characteristics
of love and kindness which did so
much to endear him to the people to
whom he went as the first representative
of new republic

Cannot Give and Withhold.

II do not believe that it Is in the power
OF congress to take away from the in
ferior courts any process necessary to its
jurisdiction. Jurisdiction may be with
drawn, but with jurisdiction undisturbed,
we are powerless to emasculate those
courts, and deprive them of the power to
execute their DEGREES. Congress cannot
give jurisdiction and yet withhold it
He declared Mr. Bailey's proviso to be
a mele legislative mandate to the inferior
courts to decide all cases in favor OF
the government.
Mr.. Bailey replied that his amendment
merely deprived the court of Jurisdiction.
Mr.. spooner retorted that Jurisdiction
could not be split up in given cases.
MI. Bailey contended that congress
could not only limit Jurisdiction, but could
deny all jurisdiction, and conversely, il
il could deny all jurisdiction it could deny
81 part Of it.
Mr.. Spooner closed at 2:4O p. m. after
speaking two hours, and Mr.. Clark of
Arkansas announced the postponement of
his speech until Monday.
Mr.. Allison expressed the hope that the
discussion CT the rate bill would go on,
saying thai if congress was to finally add
journ before the list of August it was
necessary that the debate proceed with
out delay.
Mr.. Tillmsn replied that notice had been
given for two speeches on Monday, and
said he did rot consider 1t well to at
tempt Ito Put on the screws" until after
that date.
Tillman Makes Objection.
Mr.. Foraker suggested that some of the
amendments be taken up for disposal, but
Mr.. Tillman objected that this should not
be done without notice to absent sena-
tors. He gay notice that on Monday he
would hold the Senate to the require
ment tina. it, should begin voting if no one
was prepared to speak
Mr.. Bailey could see no reason why a
date for a vote could not be fixed now,
and Mr. Allison agreed with him.
Mr.. Foraker proposed a court review
amendment IN the language of the Ohio
law, Endorsed by the Legislature of that
state.
MI. Bailey remarked that he was graft
fed to know that cordial relations had
been restored between the senator from
Ohio and the legislature of that state.
AT no time has there been lack of

sion and adjourned at 3:55 p. m

Spent Two Years on Work.

The sculptor, John j. Boyle of New
York, spent two years in the execution
of this work After long study and
research among portraits and busts of
Franklin he decided to use the famous
Houdon head as his model. OF all the
artists and sculptors who painted and
modelled Franklin none knew him better
than Houdon, for it was due to Frank
Inns influence and friendship for Houdon
that he went to America and received
the commission to make his famous statue
of Washington. Critics and students are
agreed that the Houdon head, made from
life and by man who fully appreciated
and was devoted to Franklin is the truest
and most reliable likeness in existence.
The original of the statue unveiled to-
day was presented on June A. 1899, to
the city of Philadelphia on behalf of JUS
tus c. Strawbridge by Charles Emory
Smith, then postmaster general of the
United States. The statue stands in front
of the Philadelphia postoffice where thous-
sands daily read the quaint and historic
inscription on the pedestal: Benjamin
Franklin, 1706-179O Venerated for benevo-
lence admired for talents, esteemed for
patriotism, beloved for philanthropy
Washington" The statue is nearly twice
life-size, measuring twelve feet from the
base to the top of the head, five feet,
four inches in width, and four feet. eight
inches in depth. 1t is a curious eoinci-
dence that when the statue was unveiled
in Philadelphia, the orator of the occa-
sion prophesed that France would some
day be the recipient of a replica of the
statue as a memorial to Franklin and
pledge of American good will.
