DEATH VALLEY SHAKEN.
An Earthquake Causes Miners to
Leave the Vicinity.

San Bernardino, Cal. Nov. IL
Death Valley and the surrounding
country are in the throes Of series
Of earthquakes which began three
weeks ago and the most violent of
which occurred last Wednesday morn
ing before daylight, carrying conster-
nation among the mining camps and
resulting in many miners and pros
pectors fleeing from the district.
Samuel Lawrence, one Of the first
miners to reach here with details Of
the earthquake, said Tuesday that for
three weeks past there have been ore
or two rumbIes daily. They have all
been light with the exception Of that
which upheaved the district Wednes-
day. The dismal crags Of the
Funeral range seemed to fairly totter
when the severe shock came last week.
Miners were tossed from their hunks,
camp equipment was scattered about.
horses and mules stampeded and i'm
mense boulders thrown down. At day
break the miners commenced to leave.

Eyes.''

Berlin, Nov. 11.-Emperor William
never has been SO severely Judged by
his parliament as he was Tuesday dur
ing the debate in the Reichstag ON
the interpretations concerning the con-
versations published with the permits
sion Of the emperor in the London
Daily Telegraph, on october rs. The
criticisms of his majesty's court, his
ministry and his majesty's treatment
Of the men as we'll as Of his freedom
of speech, went to lengths that as
tonished observers acquainted with
the traditional caution chamber in
dealing with the personality Of the
sovereign. And the emperor seemed
to have no defenders.
Chancellor Won Buelow made an ad-
dress lasting Is minutes, but he
lacked his usual spirit, and a person
high in his confidence is authority for
the statement that he also had told the
emperor that neither himself nor his
successors could remain in office UNI
less his majesty was more reserved.
Prince Won Buelow spoke solemnly
and without making use Of any dra-
matte effects. The house received his
explanation in Icy silence instead Of
giving 1t that cordial applause which
as general thing follows the chan
cellor's fine parliamentary declarations.
The conservatives, representing
largely the landed nobility was almost
rs relentless as the Socialists, the
and the National Liberals,
and Tuesdays proceedings were re-
garded by the extreme Liberals as the
beginning Of long contest between
the crown and parliament that may
End in Germany having @ ministry re-
Iponsible to parliament and not to the
,rown alone.

A TARIFF HEARING
INTERESTS AFFECTED BY "scHED-
ULE A. NOT IN FAVOR or
ANY CHANGE.
SOME WANTED INCREASES
Manufacturers Using Chemicals Seem
satisfied With Present Duties--
FOR Lower Tariff on Me-
dlcInaI Chemicals.

Washington, Nov. 11.-With few ex
Ceptions the interests affected BY
schedule A" Of the Dingley tariff
which includes over 100 articles un-
der the heading Of chemicals, oils
and paints" do mot desire any changes
in the rates Of duty now operative.
This was indicated Tuesday ct the flrst
hearing for the consideration Of the
revision of the tariff held before the
house committee ON ways and means.
The hearings are preliminary to the
taking up Of the question at the extra
session Of congress. Chemical prod
ucts, coal tar products, chemicals.
paints, oils, varnishes, medicinal prep
aratlons and extracts for dyeins or
tanning were the principal subjects
on which the committee obtained In
formation'from those who appeared be-
fore 1t Tuesday.
There were few requests for In
creases In the present rates Of duty.
A rambler Of those appearing before
the committee were not prepared to
present arguments for changes In the
rates, and expressed o desire that the
present schedule be continued, A
strong advocate for lower tarifE rates
was Albert Plaut, who drafted the
schedule for medicinal chemicals for
the Wilson bill. THE duties on me-
dicinal chemicals" he said, "are most
ly prohibitive, being in most cases rs
per cent which is a prohibitive rate.
The duties are practically the same
as the tariff OF 1883. What was good
for the trade then is not good now"
In addition to recommending that
medicinal chemicals now scheduled at
rs per cent ad valorem should be re-
duced to is per cent, Mr. Plaut said
that certain articles Of similar ma
ture should be taken on the free list,
naming quinine as an example, and
recommending for 1t = per cent ad !
valorem rate.
