REMARKABLE STORM AT SEA.
Nichtlike, Clouds. Blinding Lightning
Rain and Hail in Succession. .
Boston,' Nov 6. An awe inspiring
electrical storm was witnessed by the
officers and men of tho steamer Ka
binga, Calcutta to Boston, on Thurs
day last. Huge black clouds sudden
ly appeared ,tnd a shrill whistling
could be heard, which told of an ap
proaching wind.' The beat became
oppressive. The entire roof of the
sky seemed to split open and c blind
ing flare of light came forth. Then
like the crash of a hundred siege
guns came the clap of thunder.
The waves became like cliffs and
the ship was tossed from one to an
other. The rain fell in big drops
that were no hot as to almost scald
those whom they struck.
The roar ot thunder and the flash
of the lightning was almost contlnu
1 ous. Suddenly and without warning
the hot loin changed to hail that
sounded like the breaking of plate
glass as it fell.
For some time the officers feared
that the versel might be overwhelm
ed, but alter a few hours the Bun
shone again. Then it was found that
the steamer was encrusted with a
crystal coating of salt. , Large quan
tities of it were upon her hull when
she came into port.
Two Suits of Armor. .

Fire in Carnegie ' ,' "
Pittsburg, Pa., Nov 6. Three
buildings in Carnegie, a suburb,
were destroyed by fire last night
causing a loss ot over $30,000 and
for a time endangering the lives ot
125 persons in a vaudeville theater.
The fire started supposedly from an
overheated stove in a grocery store
in Main street, and when it was dis
covered had gained such headway
that the building was doomed. The
theater crowd was unaware of the
fire until after they were told by the
manager the show could not go on
and to clear the honse. There was1
little excitement in emptying the
theater. Three buildings were burn

WHY ELIOT RESIGNED.
So Kc Might Not Hear It Said "Hi
Powers Are Failing." v
Cambridge, Mass, I Nov 6. The
sight of a Harvard football - mass
meeting cheering Itself Hoarse tor
President Eliot and. surrounding his
house until he appeared on his porch
Is an unprecedented sight at Har
vard. , But it was still more unusual
to see President Eliot address the
immense gathering of students from
the steps of his house and talk to
them for over five minutes. .
The demonstration startedat the
big football mass meeting which was
held last night in the Harvard Union,
At the. close of the meeting somebody
suggested "President Eliot" and the
600 men present instantly acted on
the suggestion. Led by President Ca
ble of the senior class, they marched
In a body to his house and surround
ed the porch, cheering repeatedly.
When President Eliot appeared the
cheering was deafening. After a
few moments he got a ' chance to
speak. He said in part:
"Wednesday when asked to speak
on the reasons for my resignation I
refused to do so. : I think I should
like to say a few words to you on the
subject. In the first place I don't
want to have my coming retirement
referred to with regret. . I think we
should all look forward to it with
hope. . ,We must all set to work to
find some able .efficient young man
to the. place. When he is found he
will carry on the worir It has been
Carried "out in the past ;and place

than she now. occupies: ;
"Now I want it understood that 1
am not sick, am not tired and I am In
good health so far as I know. But
when a life has reached the age of 75
years It looks forrest and retirement.
I resigned so that I might not hear it
said 'His powers are failing. Dr Ar.
nold of Rugby used to say that a man
was not fitted to be the head master
of a public school when he could no
no longer go upstairs two steps at a
time. I can do that yet The occu
pation which has been mine for a
lifetime has been a most pleasant one
and I regret to terminate it. But it
calls for unseen and unexpected

man can cope wlh. Good night." -
AUSTRALIA AND JAPAN.
Isolated from. the' mother country,
Australia has watched the military
growth of Japan with nervous fear,
for it Is the common belief of tho
Australian that, when Japan embarks
on. that career of military aggression
which imagination pictures, she will
not be content with the capture of
the Philippines alone, but Australia
will also come under her sway. Aus
tralia Is defenseless. Before the
Anglo-Japanese alliance Great Brit
ain had a naval force in the Pacific;
but since then Germany has made
great strides in building up a navy,,
and Germany must be watched night
and day by England. So great is tho
fear that without warning Germany
will attempt the invasion of Eng
land, the. British naval force has
been . withdrawn from the Pacific
and a' few second-class cruisers are
all that represents 'the mistress of
the seas in those waters. The Aus
tralians have no navy of their own,
and it is doubtful if they can acquire
one unless they make heavy contri
butions to the imperial defense and
pay for the building of ships offi
cered and manned by the royal navy,
but to be kept for all time in Aus
tralian waters. '
The coming of the most powerful
fleet the Australians have ever seeu
gave them a feeling that in time ;of
peril they might find succor from
friends rather than 'from their . own
family. The inhabitants of British
Oceanica have watched the growing
friction between the United States
and Japan with keen interest and
sympathy, for they have much, at
stake. The world believes that the
time is coming when the struggle for
the-mastery of the Pacific will bring
the' United States and Japan Into
conflict, and on the issue of that con
flict Is bound up Australia's future.
If the Saxon triumpha and the United
States makes the Pacific an American
lake, which la the dream of more than
one American statesman, Australia
has nothing to fear, but if Japan is
victorious, if the rising sun mounts
ever higher, Australia Is at the marcy
of Nippon, and a .white man's Aus
tralia is a memory only.' Alone and
unaided Australia could do nothing,
and that she only too well realises,
and she must rely either on England
or the United States in her hour of
peril. Common interests bring na
tions together,' and the' Japaneso
menace brings the Australian com
monwealths closer ' to the United
States than to England. A. Maurice
Low in the October Forum. " .
CURTIS GOES . FREE.
New York, Nov " 6. Charles W.
Morse, whose sensational rise in the
world of ' finance dazzled America,
was sentenced to-day to serve fifteen
years in prison for misappropriation
of the funds of the National Bank ot
North America, of which be was a
director and controlling owner. Al
fred H. Curtis, former president of
the bank, who had been Jointly In
dicted with Morse and with hint
found guilty by a jury in the federal
court yesterday, was granted the
clemency recommended by the Jury.
In his case sentence was suspended.
A stay of ten days in execution of
Morse's sentence was granted upon
application of counsel and it is ex
pected that an appeal from both the
conviction and the sentence will be
taken immediately.
. The scene in the court room when
sentence was pronounced by Judge
Hough was a most dramatic one.
The wives of the two prisoners,
who had been constant attendants a
court during the entire trial, were
present early to-day, as If anxious to
cheer their, husbands by their pres
ence In their trying ordeal. When
the real test came, however, It was
the hufSands and not the wives who
proved the comforters.
Morse sat like a stole when he
heard the words which condemned
him to prison. There- was scarcely
the tremor of an eyelash and to those
who watched there : was no longer
even the shadow of a doubt that the
"little man" was indeed a man of
iron nerve. Curtis, too, accepted the
news which came to him good news
in his case with the same lack of
emotion that characterized his for
mer chief. But the strain had been
too great for the women. As the
truth of what Judge Hough's words
meant flashed through their minds
Mrs Morse, who through all the try
ing days of the trial had preserved
an unruffled demeanor, collapsed in
her seat, buried her face In her
hands and began to sob convulsively.
Still weeping she was led away to
an ante-room where a moment later
her husband .held her in his arms
and sought to console, her., Nor was
mm . v.urus any, ' more ' preparea lor
tt.-nervous strain than- Mrs Morse
Mrs Curtis, within the rail, gazed
intently at Judge Hough as he began
to speak. ' She had been ill and sev
eral times during the trial had been
forced to leave her place in the court
room. To-day her face was drawn
and white, telling of a night of min
gled hope and fear while her hns
band remained - away from her be
hind the bars of a prison cell. When
the judgment of the court, the most
favorable for her husband that could
be given, was pronounced, she faint
ed and, would have fallen had not
kindly hands supported her.
Morse and Curtis passed a fairly
restful night in the Tombs, where
they occupied a cell together, and
early this morning after a friiKal
breakfast of plain prison fare they
were taken to the federal building
by Marshal Henkel and to the court
room long before the crowds began
to gather. They appeared to be
cheerful and chatted with their keep
ers and friends while the minutes
ticked slowly away. : More than an
hour before the hour set for -the
convening of court crowds began to
throng the corridors of the federal
building and flock to the court room
hoping to witness the closing sceres
in wbat had been a sensational case.
Mrs Morse and Mrs Curtis ' were
among the early arrivals. Mrs Morse
came first, accompanied by her two
step-sons. She greeted her husband
affectionately and the two boys
shook their father's hand warmly.
Next came Mrs Curtis. She threw
her arms around her husband and
kissed him and then sank Into a seat
beside Mrs Morse and the boys. From
that time the crowd gathered quickly
until at 10:30 o'clock there was no
vacant seat In the court room and
the corridors outside were filled
The lawyers for the defense h?d
scarcely taken their places within the
railing before court was formally
opened. Former Judge Olcbtt, who
had represented Curtis in the trial,
made a touching appeal for clemency
on Delia ir or his client.
Morse was taken to the tombs
prison at one o'clock this afternoon.
At that time it was announced that
no application for his release on bail
would be made to-day.
Writ of Error Obtained.
New York, Nov 6. A writ of error
In the case of Charles W. Morse-was
obtained from ' Judge Lacombe this

. DIVORCE LAW IN DOUBT
Opponents of Dakota Reform Meas
ure Say it Has Been Beaten.
Sioux Falls, S. D Nov 6. Oppon
ents of the proposed new divorce
law raising tbe period of residence
in South Dakota from six months to
one years to-night are confidently
claiming that the measure was de
feated on Tuesday by the voters of
the state.
. Those favoring the law by uo
means concede that it has beeu de
feated. If the measure has been defeated
it was due to several causes, chief
ot which is the fact that the pro
posed divorce law was greatly han
dicapped by being placed upon a sep
arate ballot containing three other
proposed laws, two of them being
county option and a,' law designed to
prohibit Sunday amusements.
The county option law appeared
first on tbe separate ballot, being fol
lowed by the divorce act. There is
no doubt that thousands of voters
after glancing part way down the
county option measure by mistake
turned their attention to the bottom
of the divorce law and placed an X
before the word "No", under tbe di
vorce law, thinking they were voting
"No" on county option.
., There is no doubt that other
thousands of voters having decided
to vote "No" on the Sunday amuse
ment law and county option decided
to vote "No" in general on proposed
laws and thus voted against the di
vorce act. - -
ANCIENT CHINESE LITERATURE.
Hotf Records ' Were -Xept Books
Cast From Moulds.
It ,Is how absolutely- certain ; that
neither'. clayr leather, parchment nor'
the papyrus was at any 'date ever
used by the ancient Chinese for the
purpose of making records, which
fact alone goes far. to negative any
prehistoric connection with Egypt,
Babylonia or Persia, touching which,
moreover, there ' Is not the faintest
specific evidence to be found either
in eastern or western records.
It seems also equally certain that
the Chinese never used a metal style
to scratch characters upon wood,
bamboo or palm leaves, as natives of
India for instance, Banyan bankers
may be seen doing any day, even
now, not only In India itself but also
In Singapore and perhaps . Hong
Kong.
, What the Chinese used was a stick
or style of bamboo, such as one or
two of the older historians describe
as being very lik,e the Chinese join
ers' "Inkstick" or "wooden stick and
line" of the sixteenth century (when
first mentioned), and also like like
that of to-day. As there were and
are no bamboos in Khoten the natives
and probably also the Chinese of that
place, in imitating as best they could
their own bamboo slips and styles
had perforce to avail themselves of
the tamarisk, a tree which the Rus
sian traveler Pizewalskl found thirty
years ago all over tbe Tarltn valley.
From the most ancient times ink
had been employed in China chiefly
for the purpose of branding the fore
heads of criminals, but it had also
been used, concurrently with varnish
for inscribing bamboo and wooden
tablets with written communications.
Presumably the ink was the same in
both cases.
For books nothing ' but . bamboo
seems to have been used, except that
records of dynastic importance and
state laws were also occasionally cast
from moulds upon metal tripods In
order to secure permanency. As the
bamboo stem Is usually no thicker
than a brandy bottle it follows that
the plane surface available for writ
ing characters could never be very
broad; accordingly we find that the
roost Important works, such as ; the
classics, were written upon slips of
pared bamboo about two and one
half English feet long and about one
Inch broad. Works of rather second,
ary Importance were Inscribed on
narrower strips of half the length.
The number of Ideographs on each
piece of bamboo varied with the Im
portance and dignity of the subject,
but In no case does It appear to have
exceeded thirty. These bamboo
lathe would therefore resemble our
modern boxwood paper knives, and
it may be reasonably supposed that
four of the smallest would about go
to tbe ounce say 100 words to the
ounce, or from 1.000'to 2,000 to the
pound, according to the size of the
strips. Thus an average book of one
volume, as Issued by a modern Euro
pean publisher, would weigh the best
part of a hundred welght. Asiatic

CHANGED THEIR TONE
Paris, Nov 6. The crista between
France and Germany which arose
over the arrest of German deserters
from the foreign legion of the
French army by the French authori
ties at Casablanca has seemingly
been dispelled over night. v It is
now apparent that Germany is ready
to abandon her recent demand for
the release of these men and tbat
she excuses the action of tbe French
soldiers who are alleged to have at
tacked an official of the German con
sulate at Casablanca. Both Herr
Von Schoen the German foreign sec
retary and Prince von Radolin the
German ambassador in Paris have
changed the tone of their utterances
and to-day they are showing a read
iness toaccept the proposal made by
France whereby with mutual expres
sions of regret the entire Incident
may be referred to arbitration.
The German foreign office expects
to receive during the day a final de
cision from Emperor William who is
at present in Austria.
Now that the question of excuses
which simply censure upon the
French soldiers Is out of the way the
French foreign office Is confident
that the remaining differences can
easily be adjusted. France has vol
untarily transmitted to Germany the
report on the occurence made by tbe
police of Casablanca.
It Is understood here that both
Austria-Hungary and Italy advised
Berlin tof ollow a course of pru
dence. ENJOYED HER PIPE.
