Mr. Pulton took tho matter up with Indian Commissioner Impp and found that he was willing to accept tho proposition, provided Indian property can ho prop erly protected, Tho senator ar-sured him that sheep could rrnns the reserva tion without damaging Indian property. The president will confer with Mr. Hitchcock In thn Immediate future and sen that some regulation Is provided that will ho acceptable to the stockmen. Undeclared that their request to crops thn reservation was entirely reasonable and should bn Allowed. The recent trouble nt tho reservAtlou Is believed to grow out of the fact that Agent Kdwards favors giving this right to sheepmen. Examines Dooth-Kellv Dill. Hrtliwn Governor Chamberlain ha received a copy of Kcnator Pulton's llooth-Kolly hill in retoun to a wired request. It authorizes tho secretary of the interior to exchange certain lands in the Klamath Indian reservation, oMiioridiip of which has Itceu vested in tho California A Oregon Wagon Itond comiKiuy by the United Ktates Supreme court, Jljr its tonus the company can select not exceeding 87,000 acres in townships ill and 3'i, In one or more tracta, in lieu of nn equal number of acres of road lands. Tho hill also grants waterpownr rights and mlllsltea and right to construct a railroad through tho refervatlon. The gover nor will authorize tho state land agent to Investigate and report.

Ex-Senator Turnor, of Washington, Would Call Convention. Hpokniui, April 17. A convention to Amend tint constitution of tho United Htates, so thnt ninny of tho reforms and laws demanded by tho people may bo rurricd nut, Is advocated by Judge Oeorgn Turner, ox-United Htates sen ator, who has recently returned from Washington, I). C. A provision for the calling of such a convention Is rondo In article 5 of tho constitution, although never in tho history of this country has it been applied. "I am in fevor of imvlng a conven tion to Amend tho constitution called," said Judge Turnor tonight, "PJxporl once has demonstrated that thoro are omissions and corrections which it would bn wlso to regulate. "In article 6 of the United Htates constitution It fa providod that 'con gress, whonover two-thirds of both houses shall deem It necessary, shall propose Amendments to this constitu tion, or, on the application of tho legis latures of two-thirds of tho several stated, shall call n convention for pro posing amendments which in either case shall 1ms valid to all Intents and puroscs, as part of this constitution, when ratified by tha legislatures in three-fourths of the several states, or by convention in ti.rro-fourUis thereof, as thu one or thn other mode of ratifi cation may he proposed by congress.' "I bellovo that thoro Is an urgent need for such a convention. In my opinion It is the only way by which the necesary amendment can be passod to elect United States senators by popular voto. "There is an amendment needed to the constitution to enable an income tax law. This measure has been passed by congress, but declared unconstitu tional by tho Supremo court. Such n convention would make possible a uni form divorce law and also the Federal control of life Insuranco matters, as ad vocated by President Itoosovelt. The convention could go over the entire constitution." TERRIBLE SCENES AT KAQI. Buildings Left by Former Earthquake Are Now In Ruins. Toklo, April 17. One hundred and nine persons aro known to have been killed and 20 Injured In the earthquake In thu southern part of the Island of Formosa last Saturday, but further de tails, it is expected, will swoll thodeath roll, as tho shock was more sevore than that of March 17. Thn town of Kagi was again the prin cipal sufferer, the houses which escaped destruction In tho former disturbances being now In ruins. Doko and sovoral othor tow na and vlllagea were also affect ed by landslides, which have complete ly changed tho topography of the coun try. Tint otllcials are working feverish ly to relievo tho thousands of persons left homeless by tho earthquake Ter rible pcones aro reported around Kagl nud Doko. Later reiorta received from Formosa ennflrm thu c&rltcr minora of tho com plete destruction of Kgl, whero seven persons were killed and 36 Injured. At D.tlgo 400 buildings were destroyed and at AJensul 1,101 buildings collapaod and 740 wore damaged and tlueo per eons were killed and 15 injured. These later advices say that this shock was miro powerful than that of March 17, but ns tho people had boon warned they wore able to oscapo. Portrait of Franklin. New York, April 17. Tho portrait of lienjaiuin Franklin, from Dorchester house, London, thn residence of Auihaa rndor Held, which has been restor ed to the United States by Karl Grey, arrived today on tho American liner St. Paul, in n tin case uildresscd to Presi dent Hooievelt. In view of thn ap proaching bicentenary Franklin celebra tion soon to bo hold in Philadelphia, r.arl urey, who, with Countosa Grey, was recently entertained in this coun try, thought it tlttlug that tho picture should bo restored nt this timo. Great Influx of Aliens. Now York, April 17. A now high water mark in the tide of immigration will bq'eot when tho aliens who arrived at this port today on nlno European steamships, and thoso duo tomorrow 011 eight big ahlpa which are expected to puss In Handy Hook before nightfall, liavo been pormltted to land on United States soli. On tho vessels which ar rived today woro 11,830 Immigrants. Tho steamora duo tomorrow nro expect ed to add at least a Uko number. Revolt Against the Sultan. London, April 17. According to tho Dally Mali's correspondent nt Kl Are lab. Morocco, a young relative of the sultan will Boon bo proclaimed ruler In tho south and a formlunulo revolt against Fox la matutlmr at the city of Morocco. IN THE NATIONAL HALLS OF CONGRESS lr tt 1 . 1 r 1 I I J Thursday, April 10. Washington, April 10 Tho senate nnd hoti'o today panned, and President Roosevelt this evening signed, n Joint resolution appropriating $1 000,000 tV the relief of thn San Francisco earth quake and flro sufferers, tho money to be expended under the direction and at thn dlecrotlou of the secretary of War. Tliti resolution was introduced in tho senate by Perkins and called for $500, 000. Upon tho measure reaching the houso, Tawnoy, of Minnesota, offered an amendment mak'.ng it $1,000,000. This passed the houso, nnd when the resolution was returned to the senate the amendment was accepted without a question. Wodnosday, April 18. Washington, April 18. A pall hung over the house today by reason of thn great calamity which has come to San Franclrco and tho nearby towns of Oak land, Perkeley and Alameda. Legisla tion went on, but in a most perfunctory way. Thero was no heart or lntereat In tho bills under consideration. Members of the California delegation were besieged with inquiries and tho mombers from San Franclrco and Oak land districts showed the strain upon them, not being able to ascertain whether or not their families were vic tims of tho shock and their homes de stroyed. Tho bill extending the national irri gation law to Texas was passed after nuirly three hours' debate and the Dis trict of Columbia appropriation bill waa taken up to continue before the house the remainder of tho wek. Washington, April 18. In n special message delivered to congress today, President Koosovolt declares the result of tho recent trial of the "beef pack ora," InO hlcago waa a "miscarriage of Justice," and that tho interpretation placed by Judge Humphrey on the will ol congress "is such as to make that will absolutely abortive." Tuesday, April 17. Washington, April 17. To clear tho legislative docks ior pending money bills fur the support of the government, the houso today worked uninterrupt edly from 11:30 to 6 o'clock. In that tlmo 11 general bills were passed under suspension of thu rules. Tho bill to provide for entry of agrl cultural land within forest reserves waa taken up on motion of Dixon, Montana. Mondell, Wyoming, thought if the bill passed it would bring vast areas direct ly undor the bureau of Forstry that did not have a treo or bush. So far as those areas aro concerned, it woald repeal the timber and stone section of the present law and tho commutation clauee. Tho bill was passed with one amend ment, striking out the paragraph giv ing the secretary of agriculture the right to sot aside such forest reserve land as was pot occupied by a bona ride settler January 1, 1000. Washington, April 17. Proceeding the taking up of the railroad rate bill in tho senate today, Tillman called up his resolution directing tho senate com mittee 011 finance to enter upon an in vestigation of the question of campaign contributions by the national banks and the resolution was referred to the fi nance committee. Tillman said that ho would not confine tho inquiry to the Republican committee, but would ex tend it to the Democratic committee. Foster spoke for almost three hours on the rato bill, contending for the valid ity of tho proposed legislation. Monday, April 10. Washington, April 16. It took the houso of representatives Just one min ute to pass Representative Jones' bill appropriating $400,000 to contlnno work on tho Jetty nt the mouth ol the Columbia river. In accordance with his promise, Speaker Cannon this after noon recognised Mr. Jones to call up tho bill reported by the river and har bor committee Inst Friday. The bill waa read, nnd without a sin alo word beinir said in its favor or In opposition, tho speaker announced that tho bill "would be considered na read a third time, engrossed and passed," This waa all there waa to It. It hap pened ao quickly that few membera present knew that nearly $500,000 waa being appropriated. Orumpacker, of Indiana, called up Houso bill extending until April 11, 1000, tho date for applying the coast Progress of Reclamation. Washington, April 17. Tho third annual general inquiry of the house committoe on Irrigation regarding tho operation of tho national reclamation act was begun today. Secretary of tho Interior Hitchcock stated that, mould ing tlm Irrigation projects under con struction, thoso which aro contem plated and those approved but not be gun, thero will have been spent on Juno 30, 1008, $37,000,000, and that tho estimated receipts from the opera tion of the law up to that time will bo $500,000 more than that amount, wise laws of tho United Slates to the Philippines. Under tho present con ditions, these laws will apply July 1 next. Opposition to the bill was modo by Humphrey, of Washington, who said thero was ample American shipping on tho Pacific const to take rare of the co miner co between the United States and the Philippines, and, if the tlmo waa not extended, theso American ahlps would get the business. The bill waa passed by a voto of 217 to 27. Washington, April 16. A speech on the railroad rate bill by lleyburn, of Idaho, in advocacy of his court review amendment, 11 to more than two hours' technical debate In the senate today. The Indian appropriation bill waa taken up for committee amend ments, but was not completed, and consideration will be resumed tomor row. Tillman, of South Carolina, at the opening of the session, offered a resolution providing for an inquiry by the committee on finance into contribu tions by national banks to campaign committees and why facta concerning hem had not been disclosed by the comptroller ol trie currency. Gives Up Attempt. Washington, April 20. Senator Ful ton had another conference with the Reclamation service today in the hope of reviving the Malheur Irrigation pro ject, but met with no success. He learned that it has been finally deter mined to abandon this project, at least for tho time being, because of the many difficulties that stand In the way. Moreover, he was informed that at a very early day the Interior department will restore to entry a large portion of the land now withdrawn, in order that private capiUI may carry out plana to irrigate much land which the govern ment intended to reclaim under its pro ject. Just how much land will be re stored to entry ia not yet known, but all the land which private capital pro poses to irrigate will be made available Cannon Gives Aid. Washington, April 14. Speskor Cannon today assured Representative Jones, of Washington, nnd Chairman Uurton, of the river and harbor com mittoe, that he will permit them to call up the Columbia river bill on Mon day undor suspension of the rules. This ia the most satisfactory arrange ment that could be brought about, for it means that the bill must be consid ered solely on lta own merits, and can under no clrcmktancee be confused or associated with any other river and harbor or appropriation bill. The merits ol the bill are so apparent that it cannot be assailed. Government Vessels to Rescue. Washington, Aprill 0. The depart ment of Commerce and Labor will lend all possible aid to the San Francisco sufferers so far as lta facilities go. In dispatches to the inspector in San Fran cisco and to the officials of tho Fish commission, Secretary Metcalf haa di rected the lighthouse tender Madrono and the United States ship Albatross to go direct to the stricken city and do everything practicable to aid the suffer ers. Pacific Squadron Safe. Washington, April 10. -A tolegram received at the Navy departmen this morning from the commander of the Pacific squadron, sent since the earth quake, reports that all la well with this squadron. The Chicago and Marble head are on routo from Long Beach to San Franclrco, and will probably reach tin re some time tomorrow. The Boston and Princeton are also at Long Beach. Remove Court to Portland, Washington, April 20. Senator lley burn will offer a resolution in the sen ate authorising the Federal Judges who were soon to hold a term of court at San Francisco to remove all causes to Portland and hold court In that city. Mr. lleyburn contends that thla cannot be done except by act of congress. Other senators interested believe no legislation la necessary. Two More Quakes Friday. Washington, April 20. The Weath er bureau today issued the following bulletin: "Two small after ebocka of the San Francisco earthquako were re- 0 irded on the seismograph at tho Weath er bureau, Washington, D. C, during the night and thla morning." Quick to Protest. Washington, April 10. Bince the debate on the railroad rate bill warmed up, certain senators have grown very sensitive about allusions to "railroad aenators"and "friends of tho railroads," and have lost no opportunity to deny that they thotnaelvos are uuduly friend ly to the great transportation corpora tions. Up to tho present session, whenovor thero was talk of "corpora tion senators," theso men were not so sensitive; they did not Jump to their feet then to continually disclaim any particular friendliness for corporations. A3 TO TH08E FLYINO FI8H. Anafrfnn nml KmkIIhIi Atithnrlilen Titkn I!tttlrelr Oppnl(a Vlimr. Two patter on tho eternal flying fish problem have appeared almost simulta neously and express widely dlvorso vlowa. In tho ono published In tho Jnhrbncli of tho Austrian geological survey Dr. Abel, after describing tho various kinds of foMll flying fish, concludes that neither the typical (lying fish nor tho Hying gurnards ever use their pectoral fins na nctlvo orgnna of flight On tho contrary, the Initial Impetus by rncnim of which thcftc flnhca nro launched Into tho air la due entirely to powerful, ocrewllko movements of tho tall flu, ami this luqietua Is sufficient to carry them to tho end of their Journey, tho "wlngn" acting merely as parachutes. In other words, the tight In precisely similar to that of a flat stono when thrown so nnr to ricochet from the point whero It louche tho water until It Anally falls. In the second paper, published In tho Annals and Magazine of Natural His tory, tho nuthor, Lieutenant Colonel C I). Durnford, takes precisely tho oppo site view, maintaining, on mechanical grounds, that the al-roplano theory, as the abovo may bo called. Is nn nbooluto physical Impossibility owing to tho fact that tho wing surface Is far too small In proportion to tho slzo and weight of tho body to sustain tho flah during lta long flight This being admitted, the only alterna tive In to suppose that tho "wings" nro moved with an exceedingly rapid vi bratory motion throughout tho whole flight nnd arc thus, after tho first Ini tial Impetus, the propelling power. Tho nuthor furthor maintains that tho wing movements which many observers have noticed when n flying flsh touches a wave nro not movements do novo, but merely such a slowing down of tho continuous rapid vibrations as to ren der them vlslblo to tho eye. If Colo nel Durnford' mechanical data nro trustworthy as they seem to bo bin com appears to be proved. Tho next point however, to ascertain Is whether tho muscles which work tho pectoral flrui of flying flsh are really capable of Imparting to thorn the power of maintaining these rapid and contin uous vibrations which are the essential part of tho now theory. London Field. 8TREET CAR8 IN KOREA. Trailer Through Ancient "Oat of Illffh Ceremony-" I was glad tho railway stations wero outstdo the city walls, because I fond ly Imagined that they would put a blot of modernity upon nn otherwise me diaeval picture, says Eleanor Frank lin, writing of Korea, In Leslie's Week ly. That was because I did not "havo my eyes about mo at tho time nnd failed to notice the modern street car track, whose course wo wero following toward the gateway. I wns Interested In tho crowd of whlte-garmcnted, stntcly striding men; In tho green cloaked, closely veiled nnd timidly tip toeing women ; In tho swarms of naked babies; In tho lumbering, creaking bul lock carts coming nud going In nnd out of tho gate along the dusty roadway; and, most of all, I was Interested In tho beautiful twofold, uptllted, bril liantly painted roof of the gateway It self, which brought to my mind many Imaginings of tho long ages of strange histories that the goblins on Its cor nice havo glowered down upon. Hut suddenly 1 was startled by a clang clang that sounded as much Uko Broad way nnd 42d street as anything could, and I wns astonished to sec n nlco yel low trolley car come tlltltu; along un der tho stately arch of tho same un dent "Gnto of High Ceremony." I hadn't heard that thero was a street railway la Seoul, so It was a complcto surprise, nud I must Bay a most un pleasant oue. I was ouco mora sur prised to sco on tho front of tho car, painted In big blue letters, "Tho American-Korean Electric Compatiy." I made Inquiries about It as soon as pos sible, nud learned that It belongs to a Boston company and Is run upon tho most approved modern method. It was rather a relief to discover In this that tho Japanese had missed ono chance In Korea, any way, but it was probably only for tho tlmo being. Tho employed on tho street cars are all Korean, and this Is also a novelty In Korea and doubtless Is a causo of much dlsgruu tlcmcnt anions tho Japanoso popula tion. Tho cars are almost always crowded. and, teetering along at a rapid and noisy paco through the streets, they present a strange contrast to their sur roundings, as well as a strango con trast to any other street cars tho sun over shono upon. Iio Hnd IntolUscnce. A gentleman who happened to bo needing n resourceful boy, says n writer In tho Now York Trlbuno, was In a drug storo ono day when a shabby urchin entered. The boy advanced boldly to tho clerk, took a small camel's-hatr brush from his pocket, and said : "Hero, smell this an' gimme ten cents' worth. I've forgotten tho name.' The clerk smiled, smelted, and took down the lodln bottle. The bystander hired tho boy on tho spot
