Pedro amounted to $4,000. The havoc
wrought by the earthquake at Mussel
Rock saved the company $4,000, as

PEACE, NOT WAR, PREVAILS.

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 11.-Instead of
strife, as was expected today, the re-
port of the committee on credentials Of
the Democratic State convention will
bring peace when it is filed tomorrow
While contests were looked for in the
Thirty fifth and Forty-second districts
of San Francisco, at late hour tonight
those most interested decided that a
row at this time would have decided
disadvantages, and, as result, de-
creed to permit matters to stand in
statu quo until the municipal conven-
tion is called to order in San Fran
cisco.
Those of the Thirty fifth District who
claim they were wrongfully deprived of
seats in the convention decided at the
last moment that their chances to make
a successful contest were not bright,
and as a result they failed to appear
before the committee. Those of the
Forty-second reached the very same
conclusion that their tangle would take
too long to unravel, SO they, too, de-
cided to await the coming of the mu-
nicfpal convention. AS a result the
convention will conclude it's labors on
the roll call supplied by the secretary
of the central committee.

Earthnunkes and Fnknra.


Il is only natural that a terrible earth
quake, such as that which wrought such
devastation in San Francisco, should
produce feeling of timidity, even terror,
in the minds of many people. And it is
only natural that while in that mental
condition they should give undue heed to
every prophecy of coming disaster that
may be INDUCED in by those who profess
to have a knowledge Of these insidious
forces of nature, which come and 20 in a
manner that defes the wit of man to ex-
plain.
It would be well for such people to
realize that not the slightest dependence
is TO be placed in what those who assume
to know all about the theory and action Of
earthquakes put forth as authoritative
statements. The wisest scientist in the
world is as ignorant of the real causes Of
earthquakes, and as impotent ether to
predict their coming or explain their ele-
ments, as the voriest tyro. And when
men of science are at sea, how ridiculous
are the attempts of takers to assume to
know all about the subject
Prof. Angelo HoIprin. one Of the fore
most scientists of the world, is frank TO
admit his ignorance about earthquakes.
'The man of science" he says "is no
more authoritative regarding the San
Francisco earthquake than is the lay
man" He says that earthquakes may
be due TO so many causes and occur so
unexpectedly, that they battle chat form
of explanation and study which belongs
to true science" Therefore. he viii not
venture to assert that the Atlantic border
of the United States, or any locality in the
East is in no danger from seismic dis
turbances.
Against such indefniteness what is the
use of bothering The earthquake may
be here tomorrow; it may never wander
to this locality with serious intent. No
amount Of mental worry win deviate it
from its course if it is headed in this
direction. When it comes we will be
painfully aware of the fact and that is All
we should concern ourselves about.

Use Of votlne Machines.

Provided Mayor Mcclellan is favorable
to the experiment, voting machines will
be used instead Of ballots at ncNt Novcm-
bers election in eight of the Assembly
districts Of New York City. The bill
authorizing the change was enacted 10y
the Legislature at its recent session, but
il is not to become operative unless it
receives the approval Of the mayor Of
New York City.
It is hoped that Mayor Mcclellan will
not refuse 70 permit this interesting ex-
pertinent. Voting machines have been
used with great success at many other
places, particularly Buffalo, where a
notable record was made at the last cleo
tion in recording the vote Of the entire
city within fifteen minutes after closing
Of the polls They have been used in
many other cities and towns Of New York,
and the testimony as to their effectiveness,
convenience and reliability is uniform.
But a test in New York City would be
conclusive as TO their availability in all
respects II they answer tho require
ments Of elections in that great city, and
produce results far more satisfactory than
have attended any other system, then it
will be accepted as fact that voting
machines are the thing for all elections
everywhere.
And II the New York test shall prove
that voting by machines insuros accuracy
and honesty and absolute secrecy, in no
State in the country will they be more
noededs than in Delaware An election
system that insuros honesty and secrecy
will prove a bar against dobauchery and
vote-buying without the aid Of any other
agency. For instance, II voting machines
do what is claimed for them, they remove
all pretext for the employment Of voters
assistants. This alone would be a great
step towards the purity Of the ballot,
for we al know that in Delaware voters
assistants are but the agents Of those who
buy votes. Without their aid vote-buy-
ing would be a dubious matter as the
buyer would not have assurance that the
purchased voter marked his ballot as he
had been paid to do. And the words Of
State Senator Conner that when he
thought a horse he wanted to know that
he got a horse" would have no significance
without voters assistants; with them
their meaning is so plain that none are
in doubt.
We hope, therefore, that the expert
ment Of voting machines will be per
mitted in New York City. If it prove
successful tho result will be something ior
Delaware TO look to in the event that
other measures Of relief from the curse oi
election debauchery do not bring about
the desired result

HOW ALLEE VOTED.
With the Railroad Senators and Against
the Stand OF the President.

With the Railroad Senators and Against
the Stand Of the President.
II was predicted several weeks ago, by
political observers in Washington, that
notwithstanding President Roosevelt s
great liberality in giving Senator Alice
absolute control Of the Federal patron
age in Delaware, when the test came
Alice would be found voting with the
Railroad interests and against the
President.
The test came yesterday in the Senate,
when the vote on the Allison amend
ments to the Railroad Rates bill was
taken. This amendment was directly
against the Presidents original position,
as IL provides for the most liberal kind
of a court review of the Interstate Com
merce Commissions Bindings in rela-
tion TO rates. II is true that the Presi-
dent has expressed himself satisfied with
it, but it is not in accord with his original
desires
On the roll call three Republican
Senators voted against the Allison
amendment, but Senator Alice was not
one of them. His name on the roll is
between tho names Of Aldrich and Allison
leading Railroad Senators, and with
them Alice voted. The amendment pre-
vailed by a vote of "a to 23, the bulk of
the Republican supporters Senators going
over 90 the side of tho railroads.a
1t is true that the Presidents sur
render in a measure saves Senator Alice
from the charge of voting directly against
him. but there is reason for the belief
that even had the President opposed the
Allison amendment it would have re-
ceiyed Allee's vote all the same.
