Chicago, Ill, May 1S.-The famous
$1,000,000 bond issue of the Whisky

ed States courts today when Judge Sho-
walter granted the receiver permission to

TERROR IN ITALY.
Earthquakes Cause Death and De-
Struction in and Around
Florence.

Florence, Italy, May 2O.-The people of
this and adjoining cities were. thrown into
state of panic Saturday night by Sc
ries of earthquakes which DESTROYED sew
eral lives and wrecked a vast amount of
property, 1000 houses in this city alone
having been damaged, many of them be-
ing utterly destroyed. At Lappaggi, a
suburb, forty houses were wrecked and
two persons killed. At Grassina twelve
people were badly hurt. The Prince of
Naples, the crown prince, spent the night
in inspecting the damage, and has gone to
the surrounding towns to render such aid
as may be needed.
Shortly after o'clock the first shock
was felt, and persons who were in their
homes ran terror-stricken into the Gtreec,
screaming and praying for delverance
from destruction. The shocks were SO
violent that houses swayed like ships III

roofs and walls fell in. injuring many

FIELDS ANNIVERSARY.
Will Have Been on the Supreme
Bench Thirty-tWo Years
Next Monday.

Washington, D. c., May 17.-Justice
Field will next Monday celebrate the
thirty anniversary of his entering
upon the duties of a member of the Unit
ed States Supreme court. He was APP
pointed to the Office on March TO- 1865.
by President Lincoln, but did not assume
the duties of the position until the goth of
May following He was at the time OF
his appointment chief justice of the Su,
preme court of the state of California,
and he desired to finish the business which
had been begun in that court before trans
ferring his laborS to a new field. The
elghty-second anniversary of his fathers
birth also fell on the Doth of May, which
was another reason for selecting that date
for beginning his service in the National
Supreme court.
Counting from the date of his appoint,
ment, only three justices have been long
er Oh the Supreme bench than Mr.. Field.
These were Justice Marshall Justice
Storey and Justice Wayne. Chief JUS
tice MarshalPs term covered 81 years ;
months and 8 days; Justice Storey's 80
years and months and Justice Haynes
80 years and months. When Justice
Field went on the bench, Judge fancy
was chief justice. He has therefore
served with four chief justices. 1t is
said that Mr.. Fields ambition is to ex.
tend his term SO as to make it the longest
on record and he bids fair to be able to
accomplish that result, Notwithstanding
he is now almost 70 years old. He adj
mits when the stories of his resignation,
which are quite regularly revived, are
carried to him that he hopes to regain
on the bench at least one year longer.
Justice Field has already made known his
intention of going to the Pacific coast
where his circuit is located, during the
coming vacation of the Supreme court
as has been his annual practice with COM
paratively few exceptions since his APP
pointment. Notwithstanding the law re-
quires visits to the circuit only once ev-
cry two years.

COAL STRIKE SPREADS.
Those Who Are Getting 50 Cents
Must Come Out Until All Get
that Rate.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 1.-THE delegates
to the miners district convention reas-
sembled this afternoon after having con-
suited their various lodges on the subject
of continuing the strike for 80 cents per
ton. The miners of the district seem to
be almost unanimous in favor of keep
ing up the war to the end, and the conyen-
tons work today was to pass a resolu-
ton declaring for a general suspension
of work throughout the district until their
demand for 50 cents is granted. The shut
down will begin tomorrow and all the
union men now at work at the union
rates will be called out. 1t is estimated
between 5000 and 5000 miners are now
at work in this district at the 69-cent
rate but the strikers believe it is detri-
mental to their interests to have these
men at work until the demands of all
have been recognized. Whether these
men who are now making good wages
will consent to join the strikers or not
remains tG be seen, and the success of the
movement cannot be ascertained for a
day or two yet.
Cleveland, o., May 1.-THE miners of
the Wadsworth and Rogues Hollow have
voted to sustain the suspension and re-
main out until national settlement is
effected. President Ratchford took meas
ures today to bring out 300 men still at
work at East Palestine

CORNER WHEAT SHIPS.
ShreWd English VesseloWners Pre-
pare to Get All the Pacific
Shipments.

Tacoma, Wash, May 1S.-tfrain men
here say that English shipowners have
cornered the wheat shipments of the Pa
cifc coast, and they connect the Fair
wheat of San Francisco with the deal
''There is scheme to hold wheat ships
in port" said Phil. r. Kershaw of the
West Coast Grain company today, until
charters are run up to outrageous fig
ureS and then get the Fair wheat to load
at fancy prices. We on the Pacific coast
are at the mercy of the owners Of Eng
lish bottoms who have cornered the ships
at San Francisco and on Puget sound
besides bringing up all the English bot
toms headed this way.
After they had done that they put
up the price on charters from % shlIings
to from 35 to 81 shillings. This is equiv
alent to an advance of II cents in the
price of wheat, but while these great ad-
vances have been made in the price Of
charters our wheat has not increased but
about 3 cents per bushel.
I'm Chicago and Liverpool the price Of
wheat has advanced from 10 to IS
cents per bushel, so it will be seen that
simply on account of this corner on char
tiers on this coast, with it's headquarters
at San Francisco, the managers of the
corner propose to rake off all the benefits
to be derived from the advance in wheat.
Il have already advised all my clients
to get together and arrange at once with
the railroads to give q reasonable rate on
wheat shipment by rail to Chicago. If
this can be done it can break the back
bound hand and foot and are at the mercy
of a lot of English shipowners who have
dubbed together to take advantage of the
advance in the price of wheat"

SYNDICATE CLEANING UP.
Returning Money to Those Who Sub
sCribed to the Government
Gold Loan.

New York. May IA Wall street
news agency says: Evidences point to a
cleaning-up process having been begun by
the bond syndicate. The recent return
to the members of 40 per cent of theil
subscription money was the first step in
this direction. 1t is uncertain when the
balance will be returned, but there are
those who think that it will be in short
time. The calling up from a number of
the syndicate members of the extra gold
is another step in the same direction.
There is authority for the sta tement that
the progress of events in the desired direc,
ton has been good deal faster than the
syndicate expected, or ever hoped would
be the case. The development of foreign
investors buying on a large scale, which
has been SO noticeable in the last month,
has practically assured the country
against any large demand for gold for a
good many months to come. Most of the
syndicate's preparations were made
against this danger"

His Vacation Delayed.
San Francisco, Cal, May 1S.-Claus
Spreckels, the sugar king, accompanied
by his wife and daughter left for New
York last night on their way to Europe
Before departing Spreckels confessed
judgment in the suit for SANDER brought
against him by his son, G. A Spreckels,
who asked for 100000 damages. The
reason given for this action is that
Spreckels, ST., received information that
his son would seek to prevent his de-
parture for Europe. Accordingly the
other sons, John D. and A. B. Spreckels,
in order to save their father further an
noyance, instructed the attorneys in the
case to confess judgment and end the
matter for the present. But Claus
Spreckels will not admit that he has
confessed judgment in a moral sense so
he has instructed his attorneys to begin
suit for an accounting against @. a.
Spreckels to compel him to account for
all the money he handled for his father.

THE BRITANNIA WINS.
Ailsa Had Lead of a Minute at
South End but was Unable
to Keep 1t.

Gravesend, Eng, May 1.-THE first
started from here this afternoon under
the auspices of the new Thames Yacht
club. The course was from Gravesend
to and around buoy beyond South End
and return, a distance of about fifty
miles. In the race for the largest yachts,
Ailsa, Britannia, Isolde and Caress start
ed. The regatta committee did not ar
range a separate race for 40-raters, but
there was contest for the smaller
yachts. A strong breeze was blowing at
the start. Rounding the buoy beyond
South End, after having covered half
the course, AilSa was leading Britannia
by nearly a minute and both of these
yachts had from six to seven minutes
lead on Caress and Isolde.
On the return journey Ailsa led to
South End, where Britannia pulled up
on her counter. Caress was leading the
forties and Audrey was leading the TWEEN
ties In the second race Audrey had
the lead when rounding the buoy off
South End pier.
Britannia won by 2 minutes ~ seconds,
in spite of the fact that Ailsa rounded
the Mouse buoy half way over the course
1 minute 50 seconds ahead Of the Prince
of Wales cutter.
The time at the finish was:
Britannia r................'.. ~ 81
Ailsa's performance during the latter
part of the race dumbfounded the on
lockers. 1t was the unanimous opinion
of those who saw her race in the Mediter-
ranean early in the present year that she
was not up to her proper form.
