FOUR MORE SENATORS SOON.
Will Represent States of New Mexi.
leo and Arizona.

Before the close of the present month
four new senators probably will take
their seats in the upper house of Con-
gress,, representing the baby states of
New Mexico and Arizona.
The Arizona senators already have been
chosen by popular vote and they will be
Mark Smith and Henry Ashurst. The
legislature will begin it's session next
Monday, and March 26. the second Tues
day after the session begins. the election
of senators will be in order. The legis-
lature will ratify the choice expressed
at the polls and will select one for the
long term of six years and one for a
shorter term of either four or two years.
The New Mexico legislature, already in
session, will take up the election of sena-
tors Tuesday. There is no popular cleo
ton in that state and the choice rests
entirely with the legislature. The leading
candidates, according to advices received
here, are William H. Andrews, former
delegate; Solomon Luna, republican ma
tional committeeman for New Mexico; w.
j. Mills, Judge Falls and I. w. Catron.
The Arizona legislature and the sena-
tors-designate are democratic and will
increase the democratic strength of the
Senate to forty-four. New Mexico legis-
lature is republican, and, unless there is
a deadlock between the regular and in
surgent republicans. will elect two re-
publican senators, increasing the republic
can strength of the Senate to fifty-one.
Each state will have one six-year term
senator, and one state will have a two
year term senator and the other four
year term senator. 1t Is understood that
the state that elects first will get the
four-year term.

SURVEYS OF THE EARTH.
Progress in Magnetic Observations
by Carnegie Institution Vessel.

Progress made in the comprehensive
magnetic survey of the earth is recorded
in the report of DIR. l.. A. Bauer, just is
sued by the Carnegie Institution. DR..
Bauer is at present with the Carnegie.
the magnetic observation ship built
especially for the institution without the
use of single piece of iron. In her
present cruise the vessel has covered over
:o.io0 nautical miles.
The report states that some OF the
greatest errors in mariners charts pur-
porting to show variations of the compass
have been in the Indian ocean, where,
even in regularly travelled paths of ves-
sells, errors have been found as much as
from four to six degrees. This is from
two to three times as much as the errors
for the Atlantic.
The extent of this survey is shown by
DIR. Bauers reference to the work of the
other parties.
He says:
Satisfactory progress has also been
made in the land work. Operations have
been conducted mainly in Peru and
Brazil by Mr.. Stewart; in Asia Minor,
Turkey, Arabia. along the shore of the
Red sea and Greece by Mr.. Sigh; in
Australia by Messrs. Kidson and Webb,

CAUSED BY IRON PYRITES.
Emission of Gases in Panama Not
of Volcanic Origin.

A. full description of the mysterious
emission of steam and hot gases from
crevices in the famous Culebra cut, which
in the first case led to the suspicion that
a volcano existed on the isthmus, is afford
ed by the Canal Record, just received
from Panama. The statement makes il
very clear that the phenomenon is at
tributable entirely to the oxidation OF
iron pyrites. caused by its exposure to
the air, and that the temperature de-
veloped disappears in the course of a
few days after the pyrites is uncovered
The only untoward effect of it's presence
is to somewhat endanger the safety OF
the excavators. who are obliged by Col
Cocktails orders to insert iron rods in the
drill holes to test the temperature and
thus guard against the premature explo-
sion of the dynamite cartridges used in
hIa sting

BAD RAIL CAUSE OF WRECK,
Belknap Reports on Accident a
Hyde Park, N. Y.

A defective rail was the cause of the
disastrous wreck of the Twentieth Cen
fury limited train on the New York Gen.
trial. railway, near Hyde Park, n. Y,
Wednesday, according to preliminary
report received at the interstate COM
merce commission from Chief Inspector
Belknap. who stated that a detailed re-
port would be submitted upon his return
to Washington.
The commission has been making an in
vestigation into the causes of train
wrecks ever since the wreck on the Lee
high Valley road at Manchester, n. Y,
and has also held several conferences
with rail manufacturers and railroad Of
ficials upon the subject.
1t appears at one Of these conferences
that Notwithstanding the fact that the
rails now being used are heavier than
ever, they still are inadequate to the
need resulting from the use of heavier
equipment and increased traffic.

URGED TO PROCURE WAGONS.
Militia Advised to Get Army We
hicles for Joint Maneuvers

With the season for the joint maneu-
vers between the regular troops and the
organized militia approaching. it is being
urged upon the militia authorities of the
various states to procure army escort
wagons for organizations in their states
1t is pointed out that the plans for the
maneuver camps this year require the use
of regimental transports under service
conditions.
While several of the states already
have equipped their organizations with
wagons and harness. it is suggested that
other states should at least obtain wagons
for their field equipment. The animals
and harness can be more readily pro-
cured when the occasion arises. In the
purchase of field escort wagons it is
brought to the attention Of the state
militia officers that the army type wagon
has an advantage in that it is standard
lied and spare parts for repairs are easily
procurable.

ray of hope.
Intensely dramatic scenes marked the
