At Gladstone's Marriaae.

In 1889 l attended Mr.. Gladstone's
wedding at Hawarden as his best
man. Catherine Glynne and her sis
ter Mary. both beautiful women. were
married on the same day, the first to
William Gladston, the second to
George, Lord Lyttelton.
The occasion was a very interesting
one, from the high character of the
two bridegrooms, and the warmth of
affection felt for the two charming
young ladies, by all their friends and
neighbors, in every rank of life.
There was a depth and genuineness
of sympathy diffused around, which,
as the French say, spoke for itself
without any words.-From Sir Francis
Doyle's "Reminiscences.

Forests and Earthquakes.

In the Rassegna Contemporaries for
October Ga journal which, by the way,
has during the past few months con-
tanned a number of well-written ar
ticles dealing with English national
movements), Signor Gino Cucchetti
publishes an article dealing, as the
author claims, with a suggestion by
the geologist, Venturino Sabatint, ac-
cording to which a remedy for the
disastrous effects of earthquakes in
Messina and southern Italy should be
sought in an effieciant scheme OF af-
forestation. 1t is pointed out that the
cutting down Of trees in such districts
may frequently result in a loosening
of the subsoil, which is largely argyll
laceous or sandy in character, thus
giving rise to faults and lessening the
resistance to the effects of seismic
disturbances. The cutting down of
woods receives further mention in an
article by the Deputy Giovanni Posadi
dealing with the preservation of ma
tural beauties, while an article by
Signor Arnoldo Faustini dealing
with changes that have occurred on
the earth'S surface in recent times,
with special reference to the subsi-
donce of the island of Bogoslaw, in
Alaska, possesses collateral interest
in the same nection.-Nature.

Washington, June 27.-Demanding
that President Taft Immediately pro-
duce all records of the alleged at
tempt by the Morgan-Guggenheim
forces to monopolize Alaskan coal by
grabbing the frontage of Controller
Bay, Senator Poindexter of Washing
ton, today introduced a sensational
resolutional in the senate.
Poindexter desires all records
bearing on a filing on Controller Bay
by James j. Ryan and others con-
nected with the Controller Bay Rail-
way and Navigation company He is
convinced that if the grab goes
through the Guggenheims will con-
troll the only feasible outlet for Alas
kan coal and thus dominating all the
railroads, they will be able to cinch
their hold on Alaska as well as
though the Cunningham claims had
not been denied.
ut seems evident" Poindexter
said, that the interests which are
seeking to monopolize the natural re-
sources of Alaska are not dependent
upon one method The control of
transportation and access to the coal
fields is equivalent to control of the
coal itself.
Controller Bay harbor is the only

available deep water which is easy of
access for the development of the
coal. Realizing this the adminlstra-
tion on February rs, 1909, withdrew
from entry that portion of the shore
line essential for use as a harbor. On
October 2S, 1910, without notice, this
shore line was restored to entry by
the presidents order. Immediately
thereafter, after the public was ad-
vised of the change, Ryan and others
connected with the railroads, applied
to enter certain portions of the shore
which, with the incidental rights,
gives a complete monopoly of the
bays use"
Progressives in the senate assert
that the law providing that not more
that 800 acres of such land shall be
held in common ownership has been
violated by the entrymen, such viola
tions having been countenanced by
the department Of the Interior.
Poindexter's resolution demands
information on the whole Controller
Bay grab, not only from the presi-
dent but also from the departments
of the interior, of agriculture and Of
war.
Poindexter's resolution was passed
without a dissenting voice.

Sixteen criminal cases will come
before the grand jury for consldera-
ton when that body convenes in the
city on the forenoon of July 5. For
the past week Deputy District Attor-
new Winslow has been marshaling
the evidence to be presented to the
jury in each of the cases, and today
had subjoenas issued for the needed
witnesses, and everything is in read
mess for their presentation.
In 12 Of the cases the defendants
have been bound over to the jury by
the different magistrates in the coun-
ty, but in four Of them no arrests
have been made, and, as they will be
considered for the first time when
they come before the jury, the names
of the parties involved will not be dis
closed until that body returns either
true or not true bill against them.
It is understood that among these
narties there are people of proml-
nence, and that sensation will be
created when their names and the
the charges preferred against them
are disclosed to the public.
Several times in the past grand
juries, after an investigation Of the
buildings at the poor farm have con
demned them, and it is likely that an
other investigation will be made dur
ing this session, and If 1t is they will
no doubt be condemned. There is
