Special Correspondent of The Citizen) WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. The Unti ed States government will not send a seismologist to Italy to gather data on the recent tembler, owing to the met tnat there I no appropriation available for the purpose. However, it la certain that either the American Seismologist' association, or one of Our big universities-perhaps the Unl veraity, oLCallfornia will go to the expense of securing a sclentlflo report of the upheaval, and a duplicate of this report will be supplied the geo ' logical urvey. . . . "We ara Intensely Interested lit the Italian earthquake,", said Dr. George Otis StnlthJ director of the survey," and regnet exceedingly we cannot ruah a geologist to Europe to make obser vation i There Is wealth of data on earth quakes In possession of the geological aurvey. Some of the reports of quakes make thrHUng reading. One of the document shows that the San Frart riaeo tembler was not the most vio lent quake that ever occurred in the United States, although the most de structive, , The great quake , which destroyed New Madrid, Wo., in 1811, was far more violent and more widely extend ed. It was felt from Pittsburg. Pa., to the Osark mountains In Arkansas, and from the lower rim of Lake Michigan, where Chicago la now located, for a thousand miles down the Mississippi. Over a region 800 miles In length. from the north of the Ohio to that of the Bt. Francis, the ground rose and sank' in area ampliations, and lakes were formed and'drained again.. Many large streams changed their channels and even their courses. : . . The .shock, was paroeptlble eut on . the plain and tb only reason "the loss ef life and property was so com' partlvely light was that the territory disturbed was sparsely inhabited and contained he cities and few large towns. The physical evidences of this tremendous convulsion of nature are still visible in the vicinity of New Madrid, Which up to the time of the earthquake promised to be the great central city of the Mississippi valley, The first shock was felt on the night . of December 16. and was repeated at Intervals, with decreasing severity, un til the middle of February. Every town In Ohio and Mississippi valleys was severely shaken up, the water of these rivers which the .ay before was tolerably clear, ' being rather low, changed to a -reddish hue, and became tblck with mud thrown up from the bottom, while the surface lashed ve hemently by the convulsion of the earth beneath, was covered with foam whlchj gathering into masses the size or a narrei, noaiea aiong on me trembling surface. The earth on shore opened in wide Assures, and closing again, threw the sand, mud and water in huge jets, higher than the house tops. The at mosphere was filled with a thick va por gaa, to which the light imparted a purple tinge. From the temporary cheek to the current, by the heaving up of the bot toms and the sinking of banks and sandbars Into the bed of the stream, the river rose in a few minutes five or six feet, and. Impatient of the re straint, again rushed forward with re doubled Impetuosity, hurrying along the boats now set loose by panic stricken boatmen, who thought they would be in less danger in the water than On shore, where the banks threatened every moment to destroy them by falling upon them and carry ing them down Into the vortex of sinking masses. Many boats were over whelmed in this manner, the crews perishing. Other boats were wrecked on the snags and old trees thrown up from the bottom of the river, where thejr bad rested for ages. After (making the valley of the Mis sissippi to Its center, the earthquake vibrated along the courses of the livers and valleys and died away along the shores of the Atlantic.

MANY DISSATISFIED WITH PRESIDENT IN THE TILLMAN AFFAIR Do Not Like Manner in Which Matter Was Made Public. MUCH GOSSIP (By Assoclsted Press.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. No sub ject has been gossiped recently at the capltol with such fervor as President Roosevelt's disclosure of Senator Till man's alleged connection with aft Ore gon land deal, but the colleagues of the South Carolinian are Inclined to withhold Judgment untllhe has had an opportunity to. explain. The fact that the senator will -read his ex planation probably will Yob it of some of the shsrp and homely epigrams usual to his speeches. Mrny expressions of dissatisfaction are heard because of the manner In Which the president made public the material gathered by postoltlce in spectors about Senator Tillman. It is ported out by senators that the mat ter sent to Senator Hole was not in response to the latter's request to the heads of the executive departments for a statement of the operations of the secret service, as the Investigation of Senator Tillman's alleged effort to obtain Oregon lands was prosecuted by Inspectors of the postofflce depart ment. It was rumored at the capltol today that the president told a friend, who repeated the remark, that an effort was made by Senators Hale and Ald- Ich to suppress the facts about Sen ator Tillman. Undoubtedly this im pression was gained by a visit to the president by Mr. Hale, who suggested that the matter relating to Mr. Till man be withdrawn. President Roose velt declined to withdraw the refer ence. There Is no question that the con dition of Senator Tillman's health is serious. Close friends on the demo cratic aide of the senate chamber evince their anxiety over the effect that the president's charge may have upon Senator Tillman's health. It was said that Mr. Tillman might have Introduced his resolution calling upon the department of justice to be gin proceedings to compel the sale of the Oregon land at $3.60 an acre, In accordance with the original grant, and at the same time apply for some of the land withdrawn without mak ing himself the target for severe criti cism. In his statement In February last the senator said that he had not bought any western land, nor had he "undertaken" to buy any. NURSE CHARGED WITH $300 THEFT (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK.
