BECOME USED TO EARTHQUAKES.
DweIIers in the Tropics Pay Little
Heed to the Shocks.

To the average resident OF the tenn
perate zones an earthquake is rare
and terrible event, creating more con-
sternation than any other visitation OF
nature. In the tropics, however, par
ticularly in Central America, II is
wonderful how easy the residents be-
come accustomed to these shocks,
which do not come, however, wholly
without warning.
You are sitting on a piazza. OF a hot
afternoon, chatting with your friends.
when suddenly the sky seems to grow
hazy. the crows stop cawing and the
buzzards quit fighting in the street.
There is general rush, and, though
you may not know what is the matter,
you cannot help feeling uneasy.
The old natives say: I'VE are go
ing to have little shake" and then
the house begins to rock. the tumblers
fall of the table. you feel deadly sick
at the stomach, and the thing is all
over. The sky clears, the crows begin
their noisy screams. and the buzzards
resume their quarrel over the street
offal
There is something inexpressibly
terrifying, however. about the trem
bling of the earth. The slightest os
cillation will awaken the population
OF the whole town. but unless some
considerable damage is done, every
body goes to sleep again AS matte
Of course.

MEMS LETTER

Like some great animal rousing
itself from a long sleep. and stretch
ing and coming back 10 reality ov
degrees, the immense empire oil
China /. is .rousing herself from the
long sleep of thousands of years aud
before another decade shall have
passed bids fair to be able 10 take
her place in the world OF natiors.
The latest step in this awaken
ing process is the issue of an inn
perial edict regarding the granting
of a constitution. Last year the
promise was made from the throne
that within another ten years
China should have a different form
of government, conforming more
closely to that of other world
pow ers, bat no definite announce
rnent was made of the form. This
=dict is more definite and promises
that during the next nine years sue
cessive steps will be taken each
year until at the end of the tenth
year China shall have constitu-
tional form of government.

amount 70 nearly $500, 900, about
esuc-tsrird of which sum was con-
tributed by the French government.

Europe agog with excitement and
Just now. Aside from
the illimitabie possibilities IT con-
tains for the Turkish race, the
granting OF a constitution to his
subjects by the Sultan, has posi-
lively startled England and Ger
many. The passing of the thiev-
ing officials, and the return of a
portend of their plumber to the Gov
ernment, to make way for Turkey
and the Turks who are now sweep
ing into their own without a strug-
gle. has created a situation battling
to these two crowns. During the
past week the King of England end
Emperor of Germany held a con-
ference over the Tur kish situation.
This revolution has spoiled
Germany's policy, blocked her

movement in Persia and is now
eagerly listening to the call OF lib

1T is hinted that this edict was
not issued altogether without pres
sure from some of the more progress
sivc of the emperor s subjects. The
political situation in China is Pc
culiar in that the so-called re-
evolutionary party greatly outnum-
bers the Supporters OF the Manchu
dynasty, and yet at the same lime
is so bound by the letters OF re-
Iigious tradition that it does not
dare to make concerted effort for
the overthrow of the ruli dynasty.
Sporadic nprisings are even now
in progress in some of the provinces,
but these are fore-doomed TO defeat.
1t is quite probable that they are
without the sanctioned the head OF
the revolutionarics, Sun Ye Sin,
a man of vide culture, high educa-
zion and much ability.
This revolutionary party is in the
nature of great secret society,
with branches all over the world
wherever the Chinese have gather
ed. 1t is especially strong in this
country, where it is estimated that
eight out of every ten Chinamcr
arc members. Aside from being
merely beneficiary society tor Il:
IN cmbers, contributors are ire,
quently sent back to the home
country to aid the cause.
There are other rganizations
having for their aim the Liberation
ofChina from the yoke of Manchi
rule, but their activities are confin
cd chiefly to the circulation Of
.scditious literature and TO apropa
iganda of argument.
Naturally some of the more en-
the cause of liberty as set forth b.
these societies but at the same tim'
there are many who are in sympath.
with the ruling power and it is Il
these after that the recent pretens'
of reform entered into by the thron

been educated abroad and kuowi'-s

WASHINGTON LETTER
Washington. Feb. l.

" AOi4s SO. lctl.
 'Nothipg Goingi is the slogan
 which appears to have been adopted
 by the national legislators for the ses-
 sion which started nearly two months ago. In some way or other the word seems to have been sent out to the members Of both houses to throw their animation into state of tempo rary suspe,s, T, ana they appear to
 be obeyiny the mandste Most of the time seems 10 be taken up in discus sions as to who shall reccise the nom-
 ination Of the republican and demo- cratic parties for the presidency.
 There are half dozen candidates in
 the field ou the republican side of the
 fence. and Taft, knox, Foraker. Cor telyou, LrF'ollette. Hughes, Cannon and one UT two others are engaged in a pretty fight for the republican nom
 inatiou, while the democratic candi- dates are William Jennings Bryan,
 William !. Bryan and ". J. bryan.
 Several of the congressman have raised a howl because they have been unable to secure the passage of their bills, or even to get them brought be- fore the committees, but Uncle Joe' Cannon. who is bossing the job. has created for himself position which is more autocratic than that held by the czar of Russia. In order to get a bill considered by the house, it must be recommended for consideration by the committee un rules. and it is per- haps needless to say that the commit tee on rules is com posed of men whose interests are not inimical to Mir. Can non, or to the interests which he is said to represent. Mr. Cannon is in- decently wealthy. and it is not likely that his sympatbies will be withheld from others of bis class. Therefore, the congressman who desires to get a bill passed in order to please his con- stituents with a view to being re- elected. must have some standing with the committee on rules. In order to be in good standing with the 'strang- lers." as the committee is called, he must vote precisely as he is told when other matters are up for consideration by the house. The bills which have reached the stage where vote on them is required. have been very fe6 this session, only few unimporlant pension bills having been considered.

THE INJUNCTION AGAIN

The injunction in labor troubles has been the object of good many at tacks, but remains as much as ever a factor 10 be reckoned with. Even those who most strenuously uphold it as proper method for reaching evils which cannot we'll be controlled by slower processes of the law concede that it may be and at times has been abused. The case in West Virginia which Senator Culberson has made the subject of a special inquiry sp- pears 10 be an instance of that kind.
 In this instance Judge Dayton Of the United States court is reported to have enioined the officers of the American Federation of Labor from conferriDg with workers relative to a strike that was not actually in force, but was being contemplated. The workers were dissatisfied with their wages or treatment and wished the advice of the federation officials as to the course which was best to pursue.
 After considerable argument the right to strike has been adjudged to be perfectly legal privilege. One may quit, CT hundred may quit. and if the hundred choose to act in concert it is their privilege. That being the case they would seem to have perfect right to ask advice of their friends. One man would cretainly have the right to do it. and if a hundred men have the right to act in concert they also would seem to have the right to ask advice ss body. Judge Dayton's injunction therefore. if it is as report ed. would seem to be in direct viola tion of the rights of labor as hereto fore defined by the courts.
 Another injunction complained of by labor is the one which torbids the

BRAVE. TRUE WORDS


 President Roosevelt. concluded 8 message transmitted to Congress on the last day of January in these words:
 Tt can not tOo strongly be insisted that the defenders and apologists of the great corporations, who have sought in the past and still seek to prevent adequate action by the ieder- al government to control these great corporations, are not only proving f.lse to the people, but are laying up d day of wrath for the great corpora tions themselves. The nation will not tolerate an utter lack of control over very wealthy men of enormous power in the industrial, and therefore in the social. lives of all people, some of whom have shown themselves cynical ly and brutalIy indifferent to the in- terests of the people and if the con- gress does nos act with good tempered and sensible bus resolute thorough ness, in bunting out the evils and in providing an effective superyis ision the resnl. is certain to be action on the part of the separate states, sometimes wise, sometimes ill-iudged and ex- treme. sometimes unjust and damsg- ing to the railroads or other corpora tiors, more often ineffective from every standpoint, because the federal courts declale it unconstitutional.
 We have just passed through two months of acute financial stress. At
