add little to what has already been cabied
about the earthquake in Chile. Generally
they refer simply to the safety OF the staHs
of British firms doing business In Vaipa-
raiso. The manager of the Tarapaca-Aer-
gentina Bank informed the press that from
the advices he had received he had reason
to believe that the damage to Valparaiso
was not so serious as supposed. The stan
of the bank was safe and the bu1lalng
had been only slightly damaged.
The Pacific Steam Navigation Company
has received the following cable message
from Valparaiso:

The Eastern Sable Company reports that
direct cable communication with Valpa-
raiso has not yet been re-establshed
The Chilean legation has not received
any news.
Cable dispatches received by two firms
here say that only two squares at Valpa-
raiso and the surrounding avenues nave
been DESTROYED. On the other hand the
Chilean Trading Company's adv1ces say
that great amount of damage, accom-
panied by severe loss of life, has resulted
from the earthquake.
Private cable messages show that the re-
ports that the nitrate grounds IN Chlle
suffered seriously are unfounded. Copiapo,
capital of the province of Atacama, appar-
entity was the most northerly point where
the disturbance was seriously felt. lquique,
Antofogasta and other towns In the nitrate
region were not damaged.

REGARDED A GOOD INDEX
OF the Friendly Feeling Between the
Two Nations-Many Questions
Of Policy Discussed.

BERLIN, August 1S.-Great satisfaction
prevails at the foreign office over the re-
suits Of the meeting at Friedrichshof be-
tween King Edward and Emperor William.
Ihe latter has expressed himself as highly
satisfied with the outcome of his personal
conferences with the king.
The discussions between the monarcbs In
the presence Of their diplomatic representa-
yves covered many political questions Of
interest to both countries. without aiming
at reaching specific arrangements but with
the view to coming to a satisfactory UNDER
standing respecting the policies pursued by
the two countries
This was accomplished in the main. and
the foreign Office expects to see the i'm
provement In the relations between them
continue. The recent friendly demonstra-
tlons, originating among the British and
German peoples from dissatisfaction with
the political hostilities attributed to the two
governments, facilitated the Friedrichshof
meeting, since King Edward had no desire

So far as the report of a personal es-

concerned. this has been wholly dissfpated
by the personal talks at Friedrichshof and

BIG RAILWAY DEAL CLOSED.
Transfer of Road Affecting San Fran
cisco Capitalists.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 1s. The
Southern Pacific officials paid over 81, 1,O00 :
600 yesterday to close a deal made five or
six weeks ago by which the Southern Pa
ciflc comes into possession Of the Coos
Bay, Roseburg and Eastern railroad in
southeastern Oregon.
The transaction is one of the biggest deals
since the fire affecting San Francisco cap
italists. 1t means distinct and pronounced
development of the Hartman plans to have
two trunk lines between San Francisco
and Portland, the same as there is now be-
tween this city and Los Angeles.
The road the Southern Pacific has just
bought starts from Marshfield and runs
in a southerly direction to Myrtle Point,
a short distance from the California and
Oregon line. BY the way of Myrtle Point,
Marshfield and Drain. Hartman and his
associates expect soon to develop north

WILL RECEIVE LEISHMAN.
Reports of Turkeys Unwillingnesl
Probably Exaggerated.

John G.. A. Leisman, the recently ap-
pointed American ambassador to Turkey,
has been received cordially by the Turkish
minister Of foreign affairs, and there is no
disposition on the part OF the Turkish GOV
ernment not to recognize Mr.. Leishman as
an ambassador, according to dispatches re-
ceived today at the State Department from
Mr.. Leishman.
It is believed by State Department OFF,
cials that greatly exaggerated reports have
been made Of the alleged opposition Of the
porte to receiving an ambassador from the
United States. Mr.. Leishman also ad-
vised the State Department that the sultan
is SO far recovered that he is able to attend
religious services. but as yet is not re-
ceiving visitors. The indisposition of the
sultan is believed to be responsible chiefly
for his failure to receive Mr.. Leishman for
mally in his capacity of American afnbas-
sador. AS Mr.. Leishman ceased to be min
lister upon his elevation by Congress to an
ambassadorship his only status in Con-
stantirople is that of American ambassa-
dor and his reception by the minister OF
foreign affairs in Turkey is taken by d.
plomatists to indicate the recognition OF
Mr.. Leisman's ambassadorial rank.

EXCITED MARKET BROKERS.
Wall Street FURRY of Yesterday Con.
tinued Today.

NEW YORK, August 18 = Yesterdays
wild scenes on the stock exchange were re-
peated today. The galleries were crowded
with spectators attracted by the reports
Of yesterdays excitement due to the elec-
trifying effect Of the unexpected amount of
the dividend declared on Union Pacihc and
Southern Pacific. These two stocks con-
tinued to make sensational fluctuations.
The whole market was affected in sympa-
thy.
Prices advanced buoyantly from one to
three points on buying demand such as
has not been witnessed in the stock mar
ket since the bul! period of April. 1901.
Brokers apparently had orders to buy un-
limited amounts of Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific, and blocks of thousands
of shares, and even tens OF thousands of
shares, were taken at the market, which is
to say. at any price demanded by the SELL
ers. An effervescent boiling up of prices
In those two stocks resulted. Running sales
Of 10000 shares Union Pacific were made
at once at 1914 to 1S5. and So, 600 shares
Of Southern Pacific at 50 to 81.
High prices for these stocks yesterday
were 179z for Union Pacific and 50 for
Southern Pacific. The fury of buying con-
tinued after the opening, prices ran off
from time to time, while room traders
were taking their quick profits, but the up
lift was resumed. Pennsylvania was sec
ond only to the Pacifics in activity and
buoyancy. During the second hour Read
ing came into prominence and was rushed
up over four points on an almost unlimited

RECORDED AT BERKELEY.
Earthquake Shocks Noted at Univer-
sity Observatory.

BERKELEY, Cal, August 1s.-A long
distance earthquake was recorded at the
students observatory of the University of
California at Berkeley during the afternoon
of August 16, according to Director Luech-
ner. The record was received on a seis-
mograph of the imperial earthquake COM
mission of Japan.
The instrument. which is designed for
observation of slight local after-shocks
rather than for disturbances at long dis
tance. was left in the care of the universi-
ty by the noted japanese seismologist,
Omori, who returned to Japan two weeks
ago, after investigating the California
earthquake for his government. Prelim-
mary investigation of the record shows
that 1t has a record of the Valparaiso
earthquake of August 16.
Mr.. Champrent, who Is in charge of the
instrument finds the record Of the first
preliminary tremor began within a few
seconds of 4:18. 120th meridian time The
stronger motion was recorded from about
4:3O to 4:47. The disturbance is plainly
chased until $40 and feebly for some time
afterward. The period of the preliminary
wave is about two seconds and of the
principal part about seventeen seconds.

MAKES A STRONG EXHIBIT.
A Pair of Oarlocks Used by the
Poaching japanese.

foacn1ng Japanese.
1t is not regarded as likely by the gov
ernment officials that anything serious will
ever come Of the recent killing of the
Japanese seal poachers on st. Paul Island.
But all the same the Department of Conn
merce and Labor received today an inter-
esting exhibit that could be used in case
of necessity should an international dis
pute arise; on the subject. 1t was nothing
less than a pair of oarlocks from one OF
the Japanese boats captured In the fight
between the rookery guards and the poach-
ers It is about as nicely muffied pair OF
oarlocks as one could wish to see. The
irons are large size, indicating that they
came from boat of about whaleboat build
The muffiing is hemp sennet work, neatly
done. and creased to insure no squeaking
or noise even in a very rough surf. or
course the oarlocks will not be used in the
coming trial of the poachers. There is
enough evidence without them, for the
coast guards got not only the twelve live
noachers caught red-handed, but five dead
ones: 100 seaskns. and their boats and
skinning gear. The oarlocks were sent to
the department simpy as curiosity. The
rope covering them is a very neat piece OF
work and it is no temporary job, either,
but neatly finished and put on to stay. 1t
shows plainly If any evidence were needed,
which it is not that the poachers were in
the business for a permanency. and that
they knew their business and went pre-
pared to carry it on effectively.

DEMOCRATSMAYPROFIT
IOWA REPUBLICANS APPREHEN-
sIvE OF SOME DETECTION.

Folk drifting in from Iowa report very
unsatisfactory condition in republican politics
in that state, resulting from the friction Of
the recent state convention. Some Of these
Iowans think that the republican ticket
will be extensively cut in the election, al
though they don't go far enough to proph-
-esy the defeat of the republican candidate
for governor. 1t is also probable, in their
opinion, that the congressional ticket may
suffer to some extent.
That the state convention left its scars
there can be no doubt. The Cummins VIC
tory was complete, but events may
yet show it, was won at considerable cost
to the party The defeated factionists
are in that frame of mind that they are
ready to go to great lengths for revenge.
say that by the time election day rolls
around the disappointed ones will have
blown off steam in threats and repinings
and the most of them will walk up to the
polls like little men and vote the regular
party ticket.
The second Iowa congressional distrist Is
thought by the republicans to be in danger.
The republican incumbent, Mr.. Dawson,
carried 1t in the last election by 1S6 votes,
the district being normally democratic.
However, Mr. NJ J. Wade, regarded as the
strongest democrat in the district has an
nounced that he will not run, and the re-
publicans think that with Mr.. Wade elm
mated they still will have a fighting
chance, with the odds against them.
In the eighth district things looked squaAy
for Col. Pete Hepburn for time, but the
clouds have rolled away. The democrats
were talking of nominating Mr.. Claude Por-
ter to run against Col. Hepburn, in which
event there would have been some fun in
the eighth district, but the Burlington rail-
road. which has at least little something
to say in Iowa politics, took a hand in the
game. The democrats nominated Mr.. Por-
ter for governor, thereby getting him out
of Col. Hepburn's road and at the same
time putting up the strongest candidate
against Cummins, which was gratifying to
the Burlington, coming and going.
The gossips out in Iowa, according to the
reports coming to town, predict that after
the next term Representatives Cousins and
Hull will drop out of Congress.
