w Of the poor classes we're leveled 70 the ground
and there have been buried already over one hun
dred persons who were killed on shore. A ike

Over five hundred persons were drowned. In
some cases not a soul is living to relate word as

three souls. The steamer Rhone at Peters Island,

sing. Men were lifted bodily from shore and car
red TO a watery grave. Not wharf nor light

sunk in less than three hours after anchorage.
Eight million dollars will not pay the loss. Mer-
chants suffered heavily from the rains as the tops

ic note from Prime Minister Manebra, which de-
clares that suppression Of the Temporal Power

LONDON, Nov. 10.
Later dispatches from Florence state that the
recent note of Mlanebria, Prime Minister Of Italy,
has had very quieting effect on the country. The
press Of Italy, however. are almost unanimously
of the opinion that it is impossible to reconcile the
differences between the Italian government and
the people on the one side and the Pope on the
other.
