PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS.
Drago Doctrine Referred to The
Hague for Action.

The international American conferences
committee on the Drago doctrine decided
at Rio de Janeiro yesterday to recommend
that individual governments participating
in the conference consider the advisabHity
of presenting the doctrine to The Hague
tribunal for elaboration, not only with re-
gard to the forcible collection of white
debts, but of all pecuniary claims
The subcommittee is formulating the final
draft of a resolution inviting the Hague
tribunal to consider the question. Senior
Francisco de la Barra, Mexican minister to
Belgium, and the Mexican member of
The Hague permanent committee, will go
to Belgium as soon as the Pan-AInerican
ton to the permanent committee. Senior de
la Barra is head of the Mexican legation.
The committee on patents, trade marks
and copyright concluded its work yesterday
with the adoption of a resolution recon-
mending the formation of an American
union of patents, trade marks and COPY
right, with registration offices at Havana
and Rio de Janeiro. The two registration
offices are for convenience. but it is con-
templated that they shall be made practi-
cally one through monthly interchange of
documents. 1t is also recommended that
each contracting country shall remit
monthly to all other countries
There are no more difficult questions for
the conference to consider, except possibly
fixing the next place of meeting. The
Argentina republic Is making a strong bid
Ayres, but there is much opposition to
fixing the date. Hitherto the bureau of
American republics and not tie conference
has selected the place of meeting.

REPORTED BY sEIsMoGRAPH.
Baltimore Showed More Serious
Earthquake Than San Francisco.

So violent were the vibrations of the
Chile earthquake on the seismograph at
the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore,
that at one time the needle was thrown
ON the registering cylinder. During Thurs
day night and yesterday more than fifty
shocks were recorded. and the most violent
disturbance caused the needle to move three
and half inches. when it slipped off the
hlm. Five shocks were recorded late yes
terday afternoon, and the vibrations were
continuing at brief intervals
The shock which dfsarranged the an
paratus momentarily came at $3.50 o'clock
Thursday night and lasted four minutes.
Inls was one of the heaviest disturbances
ever recorded upon the Hopkins instrument.
exceeding those at San Francisco.
rive shocks were felt between 1907 and
!:38 pm today. Another jar came at
d;2oh. The record vibrations filled the
film and new one was substituted.
Registered at Albany.
The earthquake in Chile Thursday was re-
corded on the seismograph located in the
state museum building at Albany, N. Y,
according to State Geologist John M.
Clarke. Prof. Clarke says that the dis
turbances were not as noticeable as at the
time of the San Francisco shocks. but were
definite enough to be registered. The In
struments recorded the shocks as follows:
Northzsouth vibrations started at 7:43 %.
M; became violent at 7:47: lasted till $3.50
pm.
East-west vibrations started at 7:34 nm
became violent at 7:47; lasted till sos D.

SAYS HUGHES WILL NOT RUN.
Woodruff Adds to the Tangle in Re-
publican Politics.

The republican gubernatorial situation in
New York promises, according to authori-
ties last night, to become as confused and
desperate as the republican mayoralty sit
uation in New York city last fall. The
domination Of Mr.. sOdell as governor and
chairman has been accompanied, It was in
sisted, by all that makes for disaster and
disintegration.
The fact that Charles E. Hughes had been
pounced upon by Mr.. Odell as his candi-
date for governor to beat Governor Higgins
for denomination recalled that Mr.. Odell
last fall offered his nomination for mayor
Of New York city to at least score of re-
publicans. All refused to accept the nomi-
nation at the hands Of Mr.. Odell. In des-
peration he seized upon William M. WINS,
and Mr.. WINS gladly undertook the task
only to be the worst beaten candidate for
mayor who ever ran under the republican
gonfalon.
Mr.. Twins, it was asserted, had no in
herent strength as a republican, and the
whole play of the campaign hereabouts was
to secure control of the board of aldermen
While Mr.. WINS was numerically beaten,
the Oddities captured the board of alder
men by a large majority. Mr.. Hughes,
it was declared last night, should he ac-
cept Mr.. Odell's proffer of the nomination
for governor and win in the convention,
would be subjected to the same game that
was played upon Mr.. WINS in New York
city, that Is, Mr.. Hughes candidacy would
be used for no other purpose than to as
jority Of the republican legislators at AL

disturbance at Valparaiso, but probably
1T has also occurred along the coast con-
siderably to the north of that city. This
district, in the history of seismology, is
classical spot. The late Charles Darwin
wrote much about 1t.
I'm 1885 thousand or more miles of the

Prof. Milne Thinks Damage Great
North of Valparaiso.

A telegram to London from Prof Milne
the well-known seismologist. from his
home, shide Hill House. Newport, Isle of
Wight, says:
1.-The seismograph records an earthquake
Of long duration. lasting more than five
hours. It commenced at 1924 am, Isle
of Wight time, but at Valparaiso 1t COM
menced at 7:15 pm, August 16. Therefore
the loss of life was probably minimized."
Prof. Milne also makes the following
statement: 1.-THE first notice I got of the
earthquake was at $50 o'clock yesterday
morning, when I looked at my instrument
and saw a very large earthquake record

that the first record had been confirmed
We then saw. from the interval Of time
between the preliminary tremors, which
came through the earth, and the large
waves, which go round the world, that
it had taken place 5000 miles away and
was marked on the globe as the strip down
the western coast of South America.
