Seismic Disturbances.

Phoenix, Ariz., Sept 2s-Great alarm
is felt at Flagstaff and the surrounding
country over the seismic disturbances
which have continued there for several
days.
Indians and other inhabitants of the
country are in a state of terror and many
have fled
The center of the disturbances is near
the Grand Canyon, where the tremors
have been quite violent The territory
in that vicinity is volcanic, and nearby
are the numerous craters of an extinct
volcano. While these have shown no
activity, the natives are alarmed over
manifestations. The tremors in several
places have loosened volcanic rocks in
the mountains, starting them down the
mountain sides at tremendous speed.
Scientists assert that the disturbances
are not really earthquakes, but merely
indicate the slipping Of the earth's crust
in that vicinity.

THE SLOW but steady march OF the
cholera is causing no little anxiety
abroad. 1t has ragged for some time in
Russia, causing thousands OF deaths,
and is now apparently about to spread
in other parts Of Europe. Fear OF an
epidemic OF the dread disease in Rome
has become acute. A number Of those
who have fled to Rome from Naples,
where the disease is widespread, are
being held in the Eternal City for
observation. Most of the thousands
who have left Naples are women and
children and OF the well-tO-do class.
Several suspicious cases OF sickness
have developed since their arrival in
Rome. The Italian government has
sent a warning to the Naples au-
thorities to guard her ports against
all emigration and to exercise a
still more rigid quarantine OF
the infected parts of the city.
II is probable that several regiments OF
soldiers will have to go to the assistance
of the Naples authorities, as the latter
have said they were wholly unable to
cope with the situation. Few vessels
are now stopping at Naples and travel
into the city by rail has been practical
ly abandoned Private advices from
Naples say that new cases are develop
ing in that city at the rate of one hun
bred a day and that there nave been 10
deaths since Sunday. Secret burlals
are being ordered for scores of those
dying Of the disease. There is pos
sibility of cholera reaching the United
States before the appearance of black
frost which. it is said, will stay its prog

DEFENDING the old missionary hymn
From Greenland's Icy Mountains,
which, as heretofore stated, is under
attack by some critics because OF ITS
personifcations OF nature, a core
spondent OF The Churchman" asks;
III appeals to nature to worship God
are improper, what of the glad Bene-
dicite,' where the Lords works,
waters sum- moon, winds,
winter and summer, mountains and
hills seas and floods, fowls and
cattle are called to bless the Lord'?'
The point is we'll taken and it is
hoped that when the subject is brought
UP at the Episcopal General Con
vention which meets in Cincinnati
next month any proposition to
eliminate the hymn from the hymnaI
will be severity sQuelched.

THE SUGAR TRUST.

The attorney general has sent orders
to District Attorney Wise, in New
York, to break up the sugar trust. II
is expected that the action will be
started within a week.
An amended and much shortened
petition, though much more compre-
hensive in its charges, has been pre-
pared after conferences between the
attorney general, District Attorney
Wise and Special Attorneys Stimson
and McReynoIds. Itcharges the sugar
trust with violation OF the Sherman
law, and the court is asked to dissolve
the trust and to issue an injunction
restraining the American Sugar Refining
Company OF New Jersey from voting
the shares OF the subsidiary companies
pending the redistribution OF these
shares among their original owners.

STATUE OF sToNEwALL JACKSON

A bronze statute OF General Stone
wall" Jackson was unveiled at Char
lesion, W. Va, yesterday, on the state
capitol grounds by the local Daughters
of the Confederacy General Bennett
H. Young, of Louisville, KY, com
mander of the Department OF Ten
nessee, U. C. ", was the chief
speaker.
The statute represents General Jack
son with one hand on his sword and
the other grasping his field glasses.
Sir Moses Ezekiel, the artist and
sculptor, who designed the statue from
memory and who was schoolmate OF
General Jackson, delivered an address.
A feature was a parade participated
in by three companies OF State militia
and "a company of cadets from Vir-
ginia Military Institute, where General
Jackson attended school and received his
first training along military lines.
The Stonewall Brigade Band, OF Staun-
ton, was there for the occasion.
The monument is q feet high,
with a base of Italian marble. The
statue is eight feet high, made OF

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPT. .

"THE clashes OF the last two nights
between the strikers in the Moabit pre-
cinct, Berlin, and the police, were
nothing less than the signs OF a grave
revolution. They were Of immeasure-
ably more gravity than mere attacks
by mobs on the police" This is the
import OF an official communication by
Inspector Won Jagow to the govern
ment. He declares that the revolu-
tionary character of the disturbance
was plainly seen in the systematic
plan worked out by the strikers. The
revolt was organized down TO the small
est detail, he says, and the rioters
answered to a complete system OF
signals. When finally dispersed,
the strikers sang the Marseillalse,
the hymn OF the revolutionlsts. "
Although the communication does no
mention the socialists by name, there
is no question, butt aimed at them.
Unofficial observers of the disturbance
are also crediting the outbreak TO the
socialists. The majority Of the labor
ing men involved in it are highly paid
and skilled workmen and the trouble
was the result of the seething political
discomfort rather than dissatisfaction
over wages, according to the authorities.
The quarter in which the riotlng has
occurred is given over largely to the
best class OF workmen and small trades
men. 1t was the houses of such people
from which attacks we're made on the
police. This fact lends sinister signl-
fcance 10 the disturbance, the authorl-
ties admit. The MOabit precinct was
again quiet today, but fresh trouble is
expected tonight. These are grave con-
ditions in one of the most enlightened
countries OF the world.

Cadets stand Pat.

West Point, n. Y, Sept. 28-FOr the
fourth consecutive day since the cadet
corps of the West Point Military
Academy was put under arrest for
giving the silence Ito Captain Longan,
instructor in tactics, that body con-
tinued to stand pat.
To man the men still refuse to dl-
vulge to the court of inquiry the names
Of the cadets who instigated the silent
treatment, as well as the reasons why IT
was administered.
The return of General Barry, who is
in command of the academy, has JAILED
TO alleviate the practical insubordina-
ton that now exists. He at once APP
proved of the action of Major Sibley in
placing the entire student body under
arrest The court yesterday examined
thirty more cadets and today was still
summonng them. The court is now
concentrating its efforts on gettlhg the
names of those who instigated the
silence" To meet this, it is declared
the cadets have adopted a uniform poi
lev of testimony. They tell the court
when the "silence" was administered
they merely saw several other cadets
doing il and so Joined in the treatment
themselves. Not one of the cadets
has admitted premeditated conspiracy.
From the cadets point of view, the
most serious result of their arrest is the
fact that confinement to barracks has
put an end to all football practices. This
will necessitate the calling off in all prob
ability of the game scheduled saturday,
with the University of Vermont and
NAV interfere with some Of the more
important games scheduled for later in
the season.

The Postal Banks.

Washington, Sept. 2S.-As chair
man of the board OF trustees OF the
postal savings bank system, Postmaster
General Hitchcock today presented for
the consideration OF the president and
the cabinet the complete plans for the
new postal savings bank system as
drafted by the committee of postal ex-
perts that have been working upon
them all summer.
These plans we're accepted by the
board OF trustees after a meeting which
lasted until 2 O'Clock this morning.
The entire scheme is presented in the
data laid before the president today
down to the most minute details. Post
master General Hitchcock has several
times gone over them while they were
in the making and Secretary Weed Of
OF the board OF trustees has explained
them to Secretary MacVeagh. The
president had several conferences upon
the subject while at Beverly,so that the
house party is now quite familiar with
the general outlines Of the plans and
little trouble is anticipated in getting
their approval.
The plans were carried to the White
House by Mr.. Hitchcock. Samples Of
every proposed form for the certificates
of deposit have been made and the
methods OF operation are set forth just
as they are to be explained TO the post
masters. No bank books are to be used.
Receipts for deposits will be made in
two ways, by stamps and certificates.
The stamps represent ten cents each
and in conjunction with them the de-
positor buys a postal card for ten cents
which represents that amount Of deposit
and formally opens up an account
with the government. These cards
hold stamps amounting to a dollar and
when filled are turned over to the post
master in exchange for dollar certi-
ficate. The certificates are issued in
every value from one to ten dollars and
from that upward in multiples of ten.
1t is proposed to purchase cash registers
which will register the amount OF de-
post and automatically print the certi-
ficates OF deposit in duplication so that
with one push of button postmaster
can register deposit in duplicate and
receipt for it.
One difficulty met with is to provide
a stamp cheap enough to allow the
government to handle ten cent de-
post without loss and yet at the
same time get one not easily counter
feited. By the law creating this bank
ing system, the government is only
allowed a quarter of one percent with
which to operate the system. The
present stamp represents loss to the
government, but it is considered by
the postal authorities that the stimulus
to open an account will make up for
the loss. As soon as the plan has
received the o. X of the president and
his advisors the postmasters from the
several towns in which the plan will be
first tried out will de called to this
city for instructions. Many OF the
forms have already been ordered and
it would take less than two months
to put the banking system in operation.
1t will be started in one town in each
state.

my letter to Mr.. Dix that that extra
ordinary thing might happen. | there

splendid men whom have appointed

for good government, nor could i

York after so short service.
You may make this letter public in
advance Of going to Rochester if, in
your judgment, you think the situa-
ton calls for it. But do not do so unless
it be plainly necessary. Every honest
man viii! understand me. Sincerely
yours.
