THE CALIFORNIA QUAKE.
Its Relation to the New Island In
Bering Sea.


A question that will probably be long
debated among biologists and that pos
sesses a keen interest for the people
of San Francisco anu thea t~rfic coast
In general is whether the new steam
belching island thrust up from the bot
tom of Boring sea coincidently with
the occurrence of the San Francisco
earthquake had any casual connection
with that earthquake or not. Just how
close the coincidence was in time be-
tween the birth of the new volcanic
island and the shock, 1900 miles away,
cannot be told because nobody hap
pened to see the prodigious mass Of
smoking and steaming lava at the mo-
ment Of it's emergence from the sea.
1t seems to have come to the surface
and to have attained an elevation of
several hundred feet without causing
any great disturbance except in its
immediate neighborhood. But the wa
ter is deep around it, and the magma
ton Is stirred at the thought of the
immense power that must have acted
beneath the sea bottom in order to
elevate SO vast a weight. All the
mightiest engines in the world cou-
pied together could not have lifted a
thousandth part of it single foot
The strongest argument adduced in
support of the view that there was
connection between the upthrusting Of
this island and the California earth
quake is perhaps the fact, pointed out
by President David Starr Jordan, that
the great earthquake rift, 200 miles in
length, which extended through the
coast range In California, would If
produced northward to Boring sea pass
close to the new island. Moreover, this
rift was greatest and the effects Of
the earthquake were most violent
where it entered the sea in Mendocino
county. Two hundred miles is about
one-tenth of the distance separating
San Francisco from the scene of the
outbreak in Boring sea. That crack
In the earth's crust of SO great
length might be formed is possible,
but the absence of concurrent disturb
ances in the sea or along the coast be-
tween California and Alaska seems to
oppose the superstition.
Upon the whole, the evidence thus
far obtained favors the view that the |
simultaneous occurrence of the two
events was coincidence. but another ]
curious coincidel e must be added in |
the eruption of Y suvius, which hap |
peEed so short a ne before the de-
struction of San FIR, lcisco. The truth |
no doubt is that al three of these
great outbreaks of sub, rranean forces,
as well as the Valparaiso earthquake |
later in the summer, were due to a |
common cause. For reasons not yet |
clearly Disseminated the earth has
paroXysms of internal disturbance
during which regions separated by
thousands of miles may be stimuli
taneously affected.
Another reason for thinking that the
in Boring sea was not the
cause of the earthquake is that several
times before new islands have been
thrust up near the same spot without
any disturbance being felt on the Cali
fornia coast. - Garrett p. Serviss in

While passing along Fifth avenue
In the neighborhood of Thirty-fourth

was attracted by two members of the

door of a fashionable furrier's store

clubs. "BurglarsT' | ventured. Bur

rat that was gnawing at a sealskin
coat worn by a Partisan model. "Un-
less we frigbten that rat away he will
eat about $50 worth of that jacket"

Washington, Jan. 81. - Senator
Hepburn of Idaho yesterday addressed
the senate ON Senator Clark's resolu-
ton multiplying the order OF the secre-
tary Of the INTERIOR providing that
no patent to public lands should be
issued without an order FIRST being
made ON the ground by special agents
Of the interior department. Senator
Hepburn took the position that the
order was legally an order Of the presi
dent. He said the president, In a
recent message, had said practically
that he tthe presidsnt) had ordered
the secretary of the interior not to
execute the public land laws. SEN
atoF Hepburn declared that the order
had absolutely destroyed the right OF
one generation to avail itself Of any
benefits to be derived from the pubic
land laws, and he announced bis In
tention to criticize the order In un-
stinted words.
He then took up the presidents
message referred TO, analyzing and
criticizing It's statement.
'"rhe president says continued
Senator Hepburn, for much Of this
fraud the present laws are response.
BILE. >"
Senator Hepburn asserted that the
frauds came in under the rules and
regulations Of the department.
''We are getting to be a govern
ment Of rules and regulations, said
SenAor Hepburn, who added that he
was going TO bring forward resoIu
tion asking every department for all
Of its rules and regulations.

STORM
in THE DAKOTAS
Great Northern Railway Is Heav-
lest Sufferer

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 31.-An-
other blizzard was reported today
to be raging throughout North Dakota
and it was feared that it would again
interfere with traffic on all of the
roads in the state. The trains arriv-
ing in Spokane yesterday, however,
we're not interfered with and, especial
ly on the Great Northern, were very
nearly ON time. The Northern Pa :.
cicfi did not feel the effects OF the
last blizzard until after the Great
Northern had considerable trouble and
the n. p. also seems to be recovering
from the effects of the storm more
slowly. Trains from the east are
running from II to "a hours late
on the Northern Pacific.
East bound trains on both roads
have been getting out of Spokane
practically on time for the past few
days and conditions from here to the
coast are in excellent shape, with
freight trains, as we'll as passengers,
running on schedule time.
The Canadian Pacific and the Soc
lines are both reported TO be having
serious trouble throughout the storm
regions and traffic is in demoralized
condition.
