FORETELLING EARTHQUAKES, VIRGINIA POLITICS. ‘Talk with Fitzhugh Lee. Prof, McGee Says There are mo Means | TE GOVERNOR THINKS CLEVELAND MAT BE RE ot Predicting Within Thousands ef Years, Prof. W. J. MeGee, of the Geological Survey, in ‘his lecture on “The Charleston Earthquake” at the National Museum Wednesday evening, said, in answer to the question, “Can earthquakes be pre- dicted?” “Yes. Two or three years ago one of the most eminent of living geologists ventured the prediction that Sait Lake City will be wrecked by an earthquake analogous in cause, character and effect to that of Owen's Valley. The earthquake has not yet come; this generation may not see it; centuries may roll by and the City of Saints be- come purified by other means before the catastro- phe comes; but come it must, sooner or later. Earthquakes will visit again and again the whole of our land. Prot. Rockwood, of Princeton, has for Some years past been recording trom 56 to 100 American earthquakes each year.

Ihave no doubt in my own mind but that Mahone 1s a candidate for the Senatorship. If, however, he lets that be known he will not have the influence in the campaign he otherwise might. You see, there are three factions, in the Republican party.

If you look at the vote in the lignt of analysis, you will see thatthe Republicans fd not cast more than their ordinary vote, but they cast a majority of the votes because the Democrats did not vote.” “Then you lost the majority of the districts because the Democrats did not vote?” Precisely. jow,” said I, “governor, let us be frank. Did not a number of Democrats abstain from ¥ 80 as to emphasize their disgust with the natior administration?” “That was one of the causes of apathy, doubt- less,” he said. “There were those who probably did not vote because, as the saying goes, ‘the ras. | cals Were not turned out fast enough.’ ‘Then the | tariff played its part.

Then he followed it ‘Up with the inquiry, ‘What would you think of a Democrat who would vote the Republican ticket?

It wason the Ist of January, 1807, when, crushed at Jena, Prussia had almost ceased ‘to exist a8 an independent nation, that Frederick ‘William Il, who with his family was living in the poorly-furnished, half-ruined castle of Koenigs- burg, gave his third son, Wilhelm, then 10 years of age, the commission of a subaltern in the Royal Grenadiers, with the remark: “1 give you this to- day in order that you may have a new suit of clothes to wear on your next birthday.” ‘On the Ist of January, 1814, seven years after his entry into the service, and at the age of 17, he rode alongside of Marshal Biucher when the Prussian army crossed the Rhine to invade fair France. At the battle of Bar-sur-Aube, where he came under fire for the first time, he was en ‘trusted with the reconnoissance of the battlefield, and he did this with so much coolness that his: father gave him the Iron Cross.

Then the imental condition of Frederick William IV forced William to accept the regency, and three years afterwards he was king of ia. Those three Years were the turning point in the military his- tory of Germany. But there soon arose a serious conflict between the new king and the Prussian pariiament.
