ITALY THANKS CONGRESS-.
Ambassador Expresses Nation S
Gratitude for 4pprO OpidtiOn.

Washington, Jar. 1.-THE following is the text
OF the letter Of Baron Mayor des Plarches, Italian
Ambassador TO the United States. Secretary
Root expressing the thanks Of his government for
the $500 600 appropriation made by Congress fo-
the relief of the earthquake sufferers:
l have had the honor express the Presi-
dent, at an audience requested for that purpose,
rba Italian nations of profound gratitude for
the sentiments of solidarity and philanthropy
eNlnced by the American nation. its chief magls-
trate. The federal government, the Congress and
the people large. the occasion Of the disasters
for the generosity extended the survivors OF the
calamties in Sicily and Calabra.
A telegraphc dispatch from his excellency the
President the Council, the Hon. Giolitti has
since then intr7isted with the honorable duty
voicing particularly the lively sentiments of
the Italian gov ernments gratefulness to the Con
gress where the federal governments proposition
IN our national mourning evidenced by the striking
vote Of both houses and the remarkable gifts for
the relief OF the victims.
In the performance of this duty | have recourse
10 your exceleucy's obliging intercession beg
YOU kindly convey the foregoing sentiments TO
the Senate ard the House Of Representatives. AC-
celt Mr.. Secretary of State. the assurances OF my
highest consideration.
General Manager Kendall, Of the Citrus Protec-
tive League of California, accompanied by Repre-
sentative Smith of that state. to-day called the

that II required between nine and ten minutes
for the earth waves to travel from the scene OF
the disaster 10 the capital Of the United States
The records made by the seismograph in this
case are not so pronounced as those secured at
the time of the San Francisco quake or any
Of the other seismic disturbances that have
taken place in recent years this side Of the
Atlantic Italy, of course, is further away. and
as the earth's crust is rather dense medium
is easily explained
The action Of Congress last session in refusing
the weather bureau any appropriation for an
extension of seismic research is a matter OF
keen regret to all the officials of the service
With branches of his service scattered all over
the country. Professor Moore chief of the
weather bureau. presented strong argument to
the Appropriations Committee of the House. If
moderate appropriation should be given TO the
bureau he said scientific research along the
line of earthquake investigation could be pur-
sued with splendid results at much less cost
than the work could be done by any other
branch Of the government.
We might not be able to predict earthquakes
at once and warn the people of their coming, as
We do storms and cold waves said Professor
Moore but even that might be accomplished in
time We could at least give the people Of the
country an ever-increasing fund of knowledge
on the subject and could give them valuable ad
vice on the subjects of earthquake proof house
construction and safety zones for building.

Scheme to Great Britain.

Lo~ Ion. Jan. 15.-"The Daily Mails" ST
Petersburg correspondent says that Russia is
about to propose for Great Britain's approval
a scheme of reforms for Persia. namely that
the Shah accept the aid of British and Russian
civil agents, having power similar to the Euro
pean agents in Macedonia that the Persian
budget be assisted by a joint Anglo Russian
loan; that help be given the Shah to put an
end, to administrative anarchy, and that liberal
reforms shall be introduced in Persia.
Russia on her part. the correspondent says
will repeat her promise to abstain from military
intervention in Azerbaijan unless she is forced
TO intervene by the pressure of anarchy.
