Paris, Feb. 1.-The parish priests in
obedience to the instructions of the
bishop, are submitting to the mayors
eighteen year contracts for a lease
of the churches, and are giving Off
cials four days in which to reply. The
mayors of some of the Catholic COM
munes Immediately signed the docu-
ments. but the papers must still be
countersigned by projects, who are
awaiting the governments decision in
the matter. Archbishop Villatte, the
American prelate who is assisting in
the formation of the new French
nation church, has lodged a formal
complaint against the society of Mill
tant Catholics of the neighborhood of
the church of the Apostles, where
services of the new church will begin
on Sunday next, charging that they
are preparing to create a disturbance
on that occasion.

News of Greatest Earthquake
Shock Ever Recorded Has
Reached San Francisco.
GREAT UPHEAvAL CHANGES
THE entire GEOGRAPHY
Forming Deep Gorges and Openings
in the Earth-NO Loss of Life So
Far As Known Occurred-Shocks
We're Probably Those Recorded on
Seismographs Several Months Since.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
San Francisco, Feb. Solomon
Islands in the South Seas were visited
by fearful earthquake several
months ago, and so heavy was the
force of the trembling that the earth
was opened and deep gorges created.
The entire appearance of the islands
was. changed by the great upheaval,
but SO far as can be ascertained,
there was no loss of life. The news
was brought here by Gov. C. E. L.
Moore, who arrived on the Oceanic
company's steamer Sierra, yesterday
from Samoa. He stated that the trad
ing schooner came into Apin from the
Solomon group shortly before he left
for this country with news of the
trembler. Details brought by the
trader were meagre. 1t is deemed
probable that the earthquake that
was experienced in the Solomon
islands was the one recorded on seis-
mographs in various parts of the
world. According to the instrument
at Apia, Samoa, it lasted for several
minutes and was said to be the heav-
lest shock ever recorded.

New York, Feb. There was more
or less of an atmosphere of uncer-
tainty in the court room today as the
hour for resuming the Thaw trial ap-
preached. Reports which had held
over from yesterday to the effect that
there might be further wedding of
the jury were again in circulation, as
the eleven men now on the trial panel
filed lin to take their places in the
jury box. The court room was crowd
ed with talesmen, the new fourth
panel of 100 being reported and about
sixty remaining of the panel which
reported yesterday.
Before any talesmen were called to
the stand, District Attorney Jerome,
Mr.. Hartridge and Justice Fitzgerald
had an earnest consultation at the
judges desk. At the end of the con-
ference, however, no announcement
was made and Jerome proceeded with
the examination of the first talesmen.
Assistant District Attorney Garvan
hastened from the room on some i'm
portant errand.
Thaw's array of counsel was COM
plete today, Delmas, who appeared
yesterday afternoon for the first time
after an illness of several days, being
again in his place. Since the artists
were banished from the court room
by Justice Fitzgerald, the countess of
Yarmouth and Mrs. Carnegie removed
their wells soon after taking their
seats. Mrs. Harry Thaw, however,
has not once lifted the veil which she
wears.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 1.-Repre-
sentative Gronna has received a fav-
orable report from the committee on
public lands, on the department bill
affecting Fort Berthold reservation.
Through an error of the interior de-
partment, settlers were permitted to
make proof under free home act of
1900, and combinations were made
at S1.25 per acre. They should have
been made under the law of 1891, and
under the homestead act and where
communication was made, $3.50 should
have been paid. There are now pend
ing under the timber and stone laws

100 acres, original entries pending
11,349 acres, pre-emption cash entries

provides that patents pending shall
be issued and settlers who have made
entry previous to Dec. 1, 1906, shall
be permitted to make proof under the
general provisions of the public land
bill. This affects between three and
four hundred settlers.

Bismarck, Feb. 1.-For more than
two hours Tuesday, the anti-pass and
two-cent rate bill introduced by Rep
resentative White, was the center of
the battle which ragged in the house.
The matter came in committee of the
whole to which the bill was referred
a few days ago, and when the house
resolved itself into a committee of the
whole with Mr.. Pugh in the chair, the
battle was on. The bill was in charge
of Mr.. White the author of the same
and the chairman of the committee on
railroads to which it had been refer
red and which had reported on the
same, and while he is lacking in many
of the essential of leader-his voice
having no carrying qualities and being
unable to make himself heard dozen
feet away-he was master Of the sit
uation. The reading of the bill by
sections gave the members who were
opposing some of the features
chance to put those who were in the
saddle on record and they did not miss
an opportunity of doing so.
Representative Buttz made an effort
to have the rate change from two to
two and a half cents, and this amend
ment was lost. Representative
Stevens asked the chairman Of the
committee (Mr. White) whether or not
the committee had considered the re-
commentators of Governor Burke in

On the adoption of this amendment a
rising vote was forced and the demo-
Gratis supported Messrs. White and
Sorley in defeating the same An
emergency clause was added to the
bill and then it was referred to the
house for final passage.
In the report of the committee on
revision of the journal the matter of
whether or not the clerk had right
to report those as absent and not vot-
ing who declined to vote on any mat
ter befre the house, was raised by Mr..
Stevens. He argued that the clerk
was not the custodian of the conscien-
ces of the members and that he had
no such right. Mr.. Streeter opposed
the contention and said that if the men,
bers did not have sufficient nerve to
vote on matters before the house they
should be put on record according to
their acts, and he hoped the clerk
would continue the practice. The

alton of the bill and read from that
message as follows:
"If you should conclude that the
power should not be delegated to the
commissioners, but that the rates
should be fixed by statute, you should
be governed in fixing the rate by the
rule laid down by the supreme court
of the United States in the case of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Rail-
road company VS.. Tomkins 176, United
States 167, viz: "The unreasonable
ness of the schedule of rates for local
business of railroad company must
be determined by comparison OF the
gross receipts of the road and the
cost of operating It,"
The chairman admitted that the sug-
gestions had not been considered.
The original bill was amended on
motion of Mr.. White by striking out
of the provisions for passes the rail-
road commission and it's secretary
when on official business. Mr. Stevens
moved to further amend by striking
out the provisions granting free passes
to ministers of the gospel and the
amendment was lost. He also moved
