THE FINAL ORDERS
FOR THE FLEET
BATTLESHIPS WILL SAIL FOR
THE PACIFIC ON SIXTEENTH OF
DECEMBER.

WASHINGTON, October 26.-"No
such relation exists between America
and Japan as would make it improper
to send the American feet into the Pa
cific If there were the relations be-
tween America and Great Britain, and
the relations between America and
France, which are the same, would
forbid the maintenance of the battle
ship fleet IN the Atlantic ocean"
This was the reply returned by Sec
rotary Root to the direct question as
to whether Japan had entered any pro-
test against the dispatch of Admiral
Evans fleet to the Pacific next Deem
Der. The statement was made at the
conclusion of a long conference be-
tween Secretary Root and EmbassadoT
Aoki of Japan at the State Depart
ment today.
Secretary Metcalf today announced
that it was definitely settled that the
Atlantic fleet will leave Hampton
Roads on December 10th for it, cruise

val affairs yesterday. The discussion
related particularly TO details Of the
Atlantic fleets cruise to the Pacific.
It is understood that matters were
in such shape that the President was
thoroughly informed on all important
items in the itinerary. Admiral Evans,
who has been confined to his apart
ments on account of an indisposltion,
looked and declared himself to be
much improved in health. The Bureau
of Insular Affairs touay received a
cablegram from General Smith OF the
Philippines, asking that the Atlantic
fleet be permitted to visit Manila dur
ing the week beginning February 10th
in order to attend the pre-Lenten fes-
tivities. The fact that the fleet will
not have arrived in Pacific waters by
that time precluded this.
Secretary Metcalf stated that the
question of allowing newspaper cor
respondents to accompany the fleet
was discussed, and the conclusion
reached not 20 allow newspaper men
on board, but that officers of the fleet
would be designated to send such news
as might be thought desirable to make
public.

OCTOBER 10TH BIG QUAKE.

WASHINGTON, October 17.-In the
silent but awe-inspiring language of
the earthquake, as recorded at the
United States weather bureau out on
Gath street, the old earth was again
shaken somewhere this morning This
latest tremble was comparatively slight
in character as compared with the big
quake of yesterday, and may have been
an aftershOck of that disturbance, ac-
cording to Prof. G. F. Marvin, the seis-
mic specialist of the weather bureau.
It's time of duration was from 6:33 to
GAO o'clock this morning.
The necessity for an interchange of
seismographic data and reports be-
tween the United States and foreign
countries was emphasized today by
Prof, Marvin, and it was said Congress
Will be asked at its next session to au-
thorize the extension of the work, so
that this government may at least get
a reproduction Of the records from the
seismographs located on the Isle of
Wight, at Toxic and several other
places in Japan, at Strasburg, Potsdam,
Laibach, Austria; Goetlingen, several
points in Russia, Harpoot, Turkey;
Asia Minor, in Australia, the Samoan
Islands and from the coast and geode-
tic surveys stations at Honolulu and
in the Philippines.
There is said to be a strong feeling
in scientific circles in favor of request
ing Congress to create distinctive
seismograph bureau.
At the weather bureau the precise
beginning of yesterdays quake can
not be made out, but it was noticed, be-
fore the strong motion began, that an
earthquake was occurring, and the rec.
ord was adjusted to the middle portion
of the sheet. Even with this pre-
caution the motion of the instrument

The UNIVERSITY
FOOTBALL GAMES
YALE AND PRINCETON TO MEET
NEXT SATURDAY-OTHER BIG
GAMES SCHEDULED.

The first big football game in the
East this season will be played on Sat
urday next between Yale and Prince
ton. Princeton has developed very
good team this year, and the opinions
of the Eastern papers seem to favor
the sons of "Old Nassau" Yale has a
very good team considering that she
has lost a number of Der best players
by graduation, but the Princeton team
has made a better showing this year
than her great rival.
The 23rd of November, the annual
game between Yale and Harvard will
be played, and the odds seem to be IN
favor of the sons of odd Eli" Har-
ward has very good team this year,
but it is not as strong as the Yale
eleven. For some reason or another
Yale seems to be the best of the foot
ball teams, and the other college teams
| do not seem to be as lucky as the men
| from New Haven. These two games
as well as the Army and Navy games
take up the stage in football every
| year, and here in Honolulu the grad
yates of the three big colleges look
! forward every year to the annual
games.
The Harvard-Yale game will be play
ed at Cambridge this year, while the
Princeton-Yale game will be played at
| Princeton. The Army and Navy
game will be played on the 3Oth at
Philadelphia Another big game will
be the annual game between Pennsyl-
vania and Cornell which will be play
ed at Philadelphia on the 23rd.

was so great as to carry the record
lever far beyond the margin of the
sheet, so that this disturbance was
evidently of considerable violence. The
strong part of the motion began at
9:14 a. m, but it's duration was rela-
lively short and subsidized at about 9:2O
a. m, seVenty-fifth meridian time.
The Toronto observatory estimates
the distance of the quake at 5000 miles
at a point presumably south. It's Off
Gals report the matter as an extra
ordinary earthquake shock, the ex-
IRENE tremors of which exceeded dur
ing three minutes the scale limit of
the instrument. The preliminary
tremors were noted at 1902 a. m, the
laree waves at 9:12 to 9:15, and the
disturbance continued until 1O:45
The seismograph at the coast and
geodetic survey magnetic observatory
at Cheltenham, Md, showed that the
vibrations began at S:59:46 a. m, east
ern standard time, and continued for
about two hours, the maximum begin
reached at from 9:14 to $3.50. Pecu-
liarly the college officials at Amherst,
Mass, report that the seismograph
showed no record yesterday of any
earth shocks.
A dispatch received last night from
London said:
THE observatory on the Isle of
Wight recorded a severe earthquake to-
day, beginning at 2:15 p. m and last
ing more than four hours. The dis
lance of the disturbance is placed at
5000 miles"
The observatory at Laibach, Austria,
also recorded an earthquake at prac-
tically the same time, lasting for two
hours and half and at a distance of
$3.50 miles.

SPORT NOTES

The first big football game OF the
season will be played at Punahou on
Saturday afternoon between the Rams
and the Oahu first team. These two
teams have some good players and
the game should be very close, al
though the Rams have a little the best
of it as their team is heavier than the
Punahou eleven. The usual number
of enthusiasts will be on hand, and
the game will probably ne well worth
going to see.

in the club is Miss Lorna Iaukea, al

very good at the game. Miss Iaukea
played golf a good deal when she was
away at school in the East, and she

shoots until next year. On account of
