VIA SUEz CANAL
Merchant From Port Said in
Washington to Learn Needs
of Admiral Evans Fleet.

Washington, Feb. 1O.-The appearance
at the navy department today Of a
merchant from Port Said who makes
a business Of purveying to ships pass
ing through the Suez canal revived
speculation as 10 whether Admiral
Evans battleshiD fleet is to return to
the Atlantic by way of Asia and the
Mediterranean or will retrace its long
voyage around South America. This
merchant waited on Admiral Rogers,
chief of the bureau Of supplies and ac-
counts, today to ascertain what would
be the needs of the big battieships i'm
the matter of food and miscellaneous
supplies when they enter the Suez ca
nal, this query being with a view TO
submitting a bid to furnish the sup
plies.
The paymaSter general said he was
not in d position TO state the depart
ments plans relative to the route to be
taken by the fleet OF its return voyage,
but that if it were decided that the
ships should follow the Suez route their
needs upon reaching Port Said would
be confined probably to a few fresh veg
etables. This declinatiOn of an official
to commit himself is regarded as an evil
dence of the existence of a policy i'm
this matter suggested by the state de
paTtment. 1t is believed in official cir
Giles that some untoward happening,
such an another anti-Japanese outbreak.
might make il expedient for the fleet
to avoid Asiatic waters.

Caught at Auburn, Cal.

Auburn, Cal, Feb. 1O-Sheriff Henry
Walker of Nevada county and Sheriff
George McAulay of this county today
captured Tom Feeney, man wanted
in Nevada county on two charges of
murder and two of burglary. Feeney
admitted the burglaries to the officers,

stopped for something to eat. The muir
ders with which he is charged took
place at Deadman's fiat>and Kentucky

TWO SMALL EARTHQUAKES
Seismographs at Washington Wealth
er Bureau Record Disturbances
at a Great Distance.

Washington. Feb. 10-TwO small
earthquakes, probably at a great dis
lance from here, it was announced to-
day, were recorded on the seismOgraphs
at the weather bureau during Satur-
day night and Sunday morning. Owing
10 the feeble intensity of the disturb
ance or its great distance from Wash
ingtOn, or to both these causes, certain
details characteristic of we'll defined
records of distant earthquakes were
lacking in the records of both shocks.
The first shocks began apparently at
9:29 D. m. Saturday, seventy-eighth
meridian time. The strong motion was
greatest in the east and west direc-
ton, and was recorded from 1898 TO
1O:4S O'Clock, the maximum motion of
the ground being only one-tenth of
millimetre. The customary formula
for determining the distance of origin
gives, in the present case, distance of
over 5000 miles, but the imperfect rec
ord renders such a computation unre-
liable.
- The second earthquake was smaller
The strong motion was recorded from
4:21 to 4:27 a IN. yesterday, and about
the same amount of motion was re-
corded in all directions

Congress Should Consider.
After reviewing the various expedi-

THE great losses which the people of

breakdown of our credit system through

that this is impossible-the methods of

same extent"
Throughout the delivery of his ad-
