EARTHQUAKE IS FELT BY MANY
 LAST EVENING
Severe Shocks in Evening and During Night Re-
 ported from Skagway

People in Juneau, on the streets, in the business houses, homes and offices were asking one another with interest today if they had felt the earthquake few moments before seven o'clock last evening. It was variously reported to have occurred from seven minutes to seven o'clock and three minutes to seven o'clock. the discrepancy no doubt accounted for by the var lance of watches and clocks.
 Weatherman R. C. Mize had re- ceived no official report of the quake and up to the time the Empire went to press no word had been received from Sitka where seismograph is maintained by the U. s. Geological Survey Num- erous people reported that they felt the slight shock and that win doWS rattled, pictures shook on walls dishes clattered and in the case of the Totem Grocery, that toys were shaken from shevles.
 Those who felt no shock looked with question at the people who talked of it, but John Newmarket has no doubt but that it was a quake that rattled the big iron poker before the fireplace in his living room and finally shook it to the floor. Among the others who reported feeling a decided shock were R. J. McKanna and Mervin Sides, who were at home in the Assembly Apartments, R. | c. MiZe, who was at home in his residence on Dixon Street, Dr. E. H. Kaser, Misses Elizabeth and Es- ther Kaser and Miss Marie Bren- non, night operator at the Juneau Telephone Company
 Skagway Reports Shock
 That the earthquake was more severe in Skagway was indicated in a wire from that place received this afternoon by The Empire, which said that an earthquake shock heavy enough to make peo- pie flee from their homes to the streets was felt in that town at $50 o'clock, which, due to the daylight saving time used in Ju- neau, would nearly coincide with the shock felt here. Another heavier quake was reported in

60-DAY SEASON FOR WILD FOWL

VISITORS AT MUSEUM
 INCREASE DURING THE
 MONTHS OF JULY, AUG.

That visitors in Juneau were on the increase during the last two months, reflecting the better times maintaining all over the world, is evidenced by the number of people whose signatures appear on the register in the Territorial Museum, which provides fairly reliable barometer, as the majority of people passing through Alaska's capital city, call at the interesting museum and sign the big visitors book kept there.
 The increase during the last two months was not sufficient to bring the total for the months of May, June, July and August up to the total for the same months in 1892, however, as both May and June were considerably below the figures for those months last year. The total number of visitors registered during the four months this sum- mer is 3,751 as compared to 3,9l8 in 1892.
 By months, the comparison for May is, 427 in 1892 and PA in 1883; for June, 973 in 1882 and 654 in 1883; for July, l,476 in 1892 and 1,641 in 1883 and for August, 1,042 in 1892 with a jump to l.64l in 1893.
 The registrants include people from practically every State in the United States and from many countries in Europe, South Am erica, and Asia. Californians form the majority of the visitors from this country while Canada boasts the largest number from foreign countries.

VETOES BY GOV. MURPHY
Contends He Should Act Only
When Interests of United

MANILA, December 5.-The Tribune,
Filipino-owned daily newspaper, today
said the legislative majority faction was
displeased at the action Of Gov. Gen
Frank Murphy in vetoeing several
measures passed recently by the Legis-
lature.
The majority faction, the newspaper
said, holds the Governor General can
not reasonably veto the measures on
the ground OF advisability," this being
the legislatures prerogative.
The faction contends, the Tribune
said, that Murphy should act only when
the interests Of the United States are
involved.
The Governor General vetoed 8 and
approved 80 acts of the Legislature.
About 40 others await his signature be-
fore December 9. Several measures were
vetoed on economy grounds.

President Rooseve1t's famous stamp
collection is not news. That Is its
owners view Of II. He never has per-
mitted 1t to be exploited" and for the
present at least does not intend to vary
his rule.
The explanation of his attitude is
this: MIR. Roosevelt's public life Is one
thing, his favorite hobby quite another.
He freely comedies that as the Nations
elected chief his public life belongs to
the people, but as a stamp enthusiast
he is his own personal property. He
believes that man like himself, neces.
sarily existing in the spotlight, snoulc
be permitted to enjoy an occasional re
treat from the center Of the glare. HS
stamps. he considers, furnish sucn
retreat, and he wishes to protect them
for that reason.
All members of the White House
family" agree that Mr.. Roosevelt Is
wholeheartedly devoted to philately. 1t
is a universal opinion that there Is
good deal of sentiment in his attach
ment to his stamps. One motive Tor
his reticence, it has been suggested, Is
that the first specimens he ever owned
were the gift of his mother. They have
a sacred quality.

Mrs. James Roosevelt, it seems, began
to collect stamps when she was q gIi.
A few early issues were part OF the
childhood possessions which she carried
with her from her fathers house when
she was married Included were some
Honekong stamps of 1856 to 1870,
which had served the postal purpose OF
carving letters home from China
during her parents residence IN that
country. When the President was
wears old the entire accumulation was
presented to him. and he has guarded
it ever since.

terprise. He became a systematic col
lector, adding stamp by stamp, set by

taste was catholic: he had few prefer
ences and, apparently, no preluoices'
Each specimen had its own signlncance'
every stamp was stamp.
By the time he was ready TO enter
Harvard in 1900, he had a good repre-
sentative amateur collection. The
thought Of abandoning the hobby does
not seem to have occurred to him:
other concerns crowded upon him, but
"once a philatelist, always philatelist

losophy. Throughout his university
career he was picking up" stamps. II
