AN ISLAND LAID WA STE.
Volcano Carries Destruction To One OF
the Philippines-12.O 600 Are Dead.

the Philippin.s-12.O 900 Are Dead.
SYDNEY, N. s. W.. July 1S.-Reports
have reached here from Tamur that
there has been volcanic eruption on
the island of Sangir, of the Philippine
group, and that most of the inhabitants
have been killed. A native from the
Talatee Islands, who landed at Selangen
four weeks ago, brought remarkable
story to the effect that several other
natives had Just returned from voy-
age near Sangir. They had intended to
land on the island, but were prevented
by the sight of the mountains belchlng
forth smoke and fire.
They reported that the "whole
island was on tire." The water along
the coast was full, they said, of half
burned wreckage, pieces of houses
and charred bodies. The whole popula-
ton, estimated at about 1900 seemed
to have been swept into the sea or
burned. as not living soul was to be
seen. Streams of lava were still flow
ing towards the shore, showing that the
activity of the volcanoes had abated.
The steamship Catterthon, from Chi
ma to Sydney, brought similar story
into port yesterday. Near Sangir, the
captain said, they passed through miles
of debris dissimilar from anything he
had before seen at sea. Poles and sides
of huts, most of them charred and
broken, were mingled with such uten-
sils as the natives of the Philippines use
in cooking. Many unrecognizable OBJ
jects, resembling charred human
trunks, were also seen. A head dress
in the wreckage was identified by a
sailor who had lived in the Philippines
"a peculiar to the natives of Sangir and
the nearby islands Of the Philippine.
The ship was three hours and half
passing through the wreckage.
These reports are partially credited
here, although they are believed to
have been exaggerated. The formation
of Sangir is volcanic, and several small
craters near the center of the island are
known to have threatened activity dur
ing the last ten months.
The Island of Sarcir is in the Malay
Archipelago, midway between Celebes
and Miandanao, in latitude deg. %
min. N, and lon. l25 deg A min. Z.
The island is thirty miles long and the
average width is about ten miles. The
high temperature and abundance of
moisture produces a luxuriant veg
citation, SO that the island is
capable Of yielding all kinds
of colonial and European produce.
The Malays form the greater part of the
population, although there are many
Negitos, or Oriental negroes, and some
Chinese among the inhabitants. The
island, rs one Of the Philippines, is
under Spanish rule. The religion is
Catholic and the government is in the
hand Of a governor-general, located at
Manila. In each Of the larger islands
of the group is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
and each Of the thirty provinces, gov
erned by an alcade, is divided into
pueblos. or communes.

QUIET IN IDAHO.
The Military Put About Four Thousand
People Under Guard.


WALLACE, Idaho, July 16.-The steady
tramp of the military has been heard
all day and tonight about all those
wanted for arrest in Wallace have been
made prisoners. Col. Theaker, of the
Fourteenth Infantry, has command of
the troops in this city. He has seven
companies of forty men each, and ex-
poets further achievements. Other
towns in the district will also
receive additional troops. There
are now about 1000 United States
troops in the Ceur d'Alenes. About
200 prisoners, including those from
Burke, are confined in buildings about
the military camp here, and it will be
quite difficult to provide sleeping ac-
commodations for them. Coz. Theaker
says they are state prisoners, and the
state must provide accommodations and
food. The Colonel stated that the ar
rests were not marked by any incident,
all submitting quietly. The strain is
now nearly over. The exact number OF
arrests cannot now be ascertained, but
the number is in the neighborhood of
400

SPOONER DECLINES IT.
He Refuses to Become Republican Ma
tIonal Chairman.


WASHINGTON, D. c., July 15.-There is
a revival Of gossip connecting the name
of ex-senator Spooner with the chair
manship of the National Republican
Committee. The only basis for this
talk is that there was a
small gathering of prominent
Republicans at the White House last
night. and chat Senator Sawyer and Sec
rotary Rusk were present. With this
much to start with it is gravely an
nounced that Spooner will be
urged to accept the chairman
ship, and that his known friendship
for Harrison will provide against any
objections he might have under other
circumstances. 1t can be stated upon
very best authority, that Spooner
will not accept, and positively declines
to allow his name to be further
considered in this connection. He
teiegraphs in most positive terms that
he cannot accept, and that his decision

IN HONOR OF COLUMBUS.
Mass in All Catholic Churches on Octo-
Der FL.

ROME, July 1s.-The Papal encyclical
on the Columbus celebration, that was
issued Saturday, directs that on October
q the mass Of the Trinity be celebrated
in the Catholic churches of
SIP ain, Italy and America, in honor
of Columbus. The encvclical
also invites the bishops of other
nations to say the same mass. The
Pope says he cannot doubt that Co.
lumpus was primarily inspired by the.
Catholic faith. The difference between
him and the illustrious men who before
and after him discovered unknown
lands was that Columbus was animated
by the spirit of religion, which sustained
his genius and afforded him consolation
in his greatest trials.

ACTOR SCANLAN INSANE.
The Comedian succumbs to Parcsis--
Not Likely to Act Again.

The Comedian Succumbs to Parcsiss-
Not Likely to Act Again.
NEW YORK, Dec 20.--William j. Scan
Ian. the popular and well-known Irish
comedian, is a victim of paresis and
there is no hope that he win ever be
seen in public again. He was unable
nee or evening performance.
For several weeks rumors have been
about that the comedian was losing his
senses and it was limited that he would
share the fate of John Mccullough,
Charles Thorue, Tony Hart, BARLEY
Campbell, and several other lights of
the dramatic world. His manager,
however, denied that there was any
thing the matter with him, saying that
he had slight stomach trouble which
caused insomnia, but that there was
nothing wrong with his head. When
the announcement was made that Mr..
Seaman was violently insane and that
all his engagements had been cancelled
it startled the profession, which did
not expect the denouements SO soon, and
saddened his personal friends.
While the people in the theaters and
cafes were talking about the actor, he
was confined in his rooms in the
Imperial hotel, shouting that people
were branding him with irons and that
ne must get out. Once he succeeded
in cunningly escaping the vigilance of
his attendants and rushed into the ho-
tel lobby. Before he could create a
scene, however, he was brought back
to his rooms and closer watch kept
on him.
The comedians illness has lasted for
some time, but it was not until six
weeks ago that it began to be noticeable
and alarm his wife and his manager.
Mr.. Scanlan's affection was brought
upon him by his reckless way of living.
He would frequently stay out all night
and turn up at the matinee next cay
and try and go through his part.

In the United States the tendency
has been of late to cram the brains
OF the children. and the question as
to whether or not this was hurtful has
often been discussed in educational
circles With a reduction of tho
hours Of tuition there was a cutting
of of some extra studies but the re-
ports show that there was a greater
proficiency in the essential studies.
If 1t can be shown that the half day
system is an improvement there are
many reasons why it could be adopted
with propriety in this country. The
fact that 1t leaves full half day free
would be an incentive to poor people
to compel their children to attend
schools until they attain a greater age
instead of as at present. even in states
where we have q compulsory school
law. keeping them out of school for
the purpose Of making them earn
something. 1t is a system that should
receive careful consideration at tho
hands OF the educational bodies.

ono advantage over that of the human
race. for 1t has some one whose selfish
interest 1t Is to guard 1t and protect it

opportunity to ENJOY the fun of running
his constitution. and therefore he has
not transmitted those follies that have
given bad physical and moral tone
to more than half the aristocracy OF

DEFIED BY THE POPE.
France Startled by Rumor from
Rome,

Rome.
PARIS, Dec. 29.---News from Rome is
of the most startling character, and
may lead to an open rupture with the
vatican. The Diritto, of that city, says
it is the intention of the Pope to confer
the Grand Order of the Cross of Christ
upon the Archbishop of AK as a token
OF the sympathy of his holiness with
the Archbishop in the latter's recent
trial, conviction and fine for writing a
letter classed as insulting to M.
Failicrs, the French minister of Public
Worship.
1t is almost needless to add that in
the present state of public feeling,
when movement is on foot to separ.
ate church and state as one of the re-
suits of the archbishop of Axis con-
duct, supported by letters of other dis
tinguished prelates, such step upon
the part of the vatican is most signifi-
cant. 1t will be looked upon here,
should the news prove correct, as de-
fiance on the part of the Pope of the
government of this country, and the
reply of the French government may
not be slow in forthcoming.

calls Used to Destroy Insects.
LONDON, Dec. 30 The Horticultural
Times has caused some alarm by as
sorting that American apples arc pois-
onons, as American grapes were some
time ago found to be, owing to the
limbs of trees being syringed with
chemical solutions to destroy insects,
which poisoned the skin of the
growing fruit. Demand is made that
the board of trade restrict the imp rta-
ton of apples. 1t is asserted that the
use Of these poisonous solutions is in
creasing in the United States The
board of trade will probably inquire
into the matter, owing to the state
ment that tons of grapes were de-
stroyed by the New York authorities.
