BERKELEY, May 25.-Quick offers Of
assistance to the university library. which
suffered the loss OF valuable records and
volumes during the earthquake and fire.
have come TO Librarian j. c. Rowell of
the University of California. The various
universities of the country have sent in
quiries as TO what could be done to aid
the university here in the matter OF re-
placing lost books or records.
The University of Minnesota was among
the first TO make inquiry. C. w. Hall, di-
rector of the Geological Survey of Minner
sofa, has sent valuable bulletin on the
subject OF geological surveys. His note
accompanying the gift read as follows, be-
ing typical Of the letters received from
many university librarians:
II need not say that the terrible disas-
ter which visited your vicinity has ap-
paJIed the whole country. and we,twith all
others, sympathfze with. you deeply in your
losses and stand ready in every way posi-
BILE to aid you in plaeing your institution
In position to continue the full prosecu-
ton of its work.
William Beer. in charge of the Howard
Memorial Library in New Orleans wrote
TO Librarian Roweil in part as follows:
'I thought that the damage TO the uni
versities resulting from the earthquake
had fallen on the Stanford University. !
am sorry TO hear that it has affected your
university also" Z
The University of Nebraska, through its
librarian. sent several bound volumes of
courses of study 10 replace those lost here.
The Nebraska man asks for information
of all that is wanted from his State. prom
Using to supply it If possible.
From Librarian Alfred wtaker OF the
University Of Colorado came the following
letter. indicating the interest in the Colo
rado institution regarding the fate Of the
university library and other library insti-
tutions in San Francisco:

Nicholas Murray, librarian OF Johns
Hopkins University. has sent volume to
Librarian Rowell to replace similar
volume lost here.
The University of Chicago Press sent
a letter offering sympathy and help. The
letter closes as follows:
1--WE take this opportunity to- express
the heartfelt sympathy of the University
of Chicago Press at the heavy calamity
that has overtaken your State university.
We are sure that every college in the
country is houbled at your loss and de-
sirous of doing whatever can be done to
help you regain what has been .ost. We
shall esteem il favor If you let us know
of any way in which we can render assist

Other universities are sending in their
contributions to the library OF the Uni
versity of California, until Librarian
Rowell is almost overwhelmed by the kind
ness and consideration shown. 1t Is likely
that almost all of the volumes lost in the
fire, which were in circulation in San
Francisco and elsewhere and so have not
been returned. will be duplicated when the
returns from the universities that are
helping now are all in.

DENOUNCED BY WILLIAMS
Government by S%colding Critized by
the Minority Leader.

Washington, May 22.-Government
by scoIding was denounced today by
Representative Williams the minority
leader of the house, who was heard by
the house committee on foreign affairs
on his resolution for information and
investigation regarding the conse-
quences of irregularities by United
States consuls in the Orient. The res
olution was based on information con-
tanned in the Pierce report. Mr.. VIII
Iiams was heard behind closed doors.
The committee took no action on the
resolution.
Mr.. Williams called attention to what
he said was the constant tendency on
the part of the administration to
"scold." This tendency was apparent
in all departments and the Pierce re-
port was a shining example. This re-
port had not in his opinion been fol-
lowed up with the required dismissals
and possible prosecutions.

A REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT
Expedition Directed Against San Do
mingo-Ex-President Jeminez TAX.
ing an Active Part.

Washington, May 22.-The state &C.
partment IS in receipt OF advices from
the acting governor of Porto Rico that
munitions Of wal intended for an ex-
petition dire ed against Son Domingo
are being SHRED from St. Thomas,
British West Indies, to a place called
Ba Jabon, in Hayti, on the coast, very
near the Dominican boundary. The
leaders of this expedition are expected
to embark from Porto Rico about the
middle of next week.
The fact that a revolutionary move
ment against the administration OF
President Caceres is in process of for
nation had a disquieting effect here
and led to a conference today between
officials of the state and nav depart
ments. Following the precedent al
ready established in the case of Santo
Domingo, the navy department has
forwarded to Commander Switzerland,
on the Yankee, such information as it
has received from the state depart
ment, leaving him full discretion %
concentration of the vessels under this
oulCSl > COulA1dHO dl Tx DOhlIAISoI
ports, and particularly the naval
movements toward the north side of
the island in the neighborhood of
Monte Cristi, where revolutionists are
reported to be in the nearby noun
tains, are taken as an indication that
Commander Switzerland had already
heard of the revolutionary activity
and is taking steps to strictly enforce
the American neutrality laws and pre-
vent the landing Of any munitions of
war.
y 1t appears that ex-President JimineE
is taking an active part in these
movements and he has recently adj
dressed several letters to Secretary
Root containing long arguments to
demonstrate the justice of permitting
him and his party to make an unin-
peded effort to regain control Of the
Dominican government At last &C
counts he was reported 10 be in Porto
Rico.
