FELT BY HIS HOLINESS,
Italy's Capital Shaken Early
in the Morning by an
Earthquake.
Shocks Created Great Panic in the
Prisons and Mutiny Was
Attempted.

ROME, ITALY, Nov. This city was
visited by violent earthquake at $40
o'clock this morning. People were aroused
from sleep and fled to the open squares.
The greatest CONSERVATION prevailed.
The Convent Santa Maria Maggiore was
greatly damaged. The outer wall was
overthrown and the ceiling has fallen.
One of its inmates. a monk, was injured.
The shocks were confined to the province
of Rome. Official observatory reports say
that the first manifestations were a slight
bling that lasted about five seconds.
These became more violent for a period of
eight seconds, and then became slighter
for nine seconds. The direction of the
movements was north to south.
The shocks created great panic among
the inmates of the prison and mutiny
was attempted, but was quickly suppressed
by troops and order restored.
The Pope was awakened by the shocks.
He remained perfectly calm. After rising
he made haste to inquire the news from
the city.
Investigation has disclosed the fact that
the damage done was much greater than
at first supposed. Four palaces and the
Bank of Italy were go shaken that they
are unsafe. The Palazzo Odeschalchi, one
of the finest in Rome, and five other
structures of that character also were
seriously damaged. The building of the
Ministry of Finance was slightly damaged.

STARTED BY ARMEN|ANS,
One Killing ARRAY in Which
the Turks Were Not the
Aggressors.
Youths Went to Erzeroum and Fired
on the Commander of the
GendarmeS.

CONSTANTINOPLE,T TURKEY, Nov. l.
Official news has been received here to the
effect that band of Armenian youths at
Erzeroum went to Konak and fired at the
commander of the gendarmes. The COM
mander was not hit, but a captain was
killed. The guard fired and killed the
assailanUs. A panic ensued, producing a
conflict between Mohammedans and Ar
menians. Fifty persons were killed or
wounded.
An Armenian mob has surrounded the
barracks at Zeitoun, blockading the gar
rison, which consists of 400 men.
The Vail of Aleppo reports that twenty
Armenians fired on a patrol at Orfah,
killing one man. The Armenians at Ma
rash are armed and assemb bled in their
houses, apparently waiting for the signal
for action, while others are arriving from
all parts to burn and destroy the Moham-
medan villages IN the districts of Andrina
and Ell Ristan.
Fresh troubles were reported to-day at
Erzeroum, Orfah and Zeitoun. There will
be difficulty in keeping the reserves under
arms for more than the customary fort
night, owing to the lack of money to make
daily payments to them.

The Panama Railroad Company
Had, 1t Is Said, No Reason to
Terminate Them.
AN INCREASE OF THE SERVICE.
An Independent Company May Be
Organized to Operate on the
Pacific.

NEW YORK, \. Y, Nov. 1.-Director
I. E. Gates of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, who speaks for President c. p.
Huntington, spoke to-day of the announce
ment by President J. Edward Simons OF
the Panama Railroad, that negotiations for
the settlement of the differences between
the two companies had been broken Off.
From what know of the matter, said
he, there was no sufficient reason for
terminating negotiations. The Pacific
Mail will continue to run its ships as here
tofore between New York and Colon and
on the Pacific Coast"
Charles H. Tweed, counsel for the Pacific
Mail Company, said: There were certain
fundamental principles which we could
not surrender and the other side occupied
position which it thought it could not
abandon. The negotiations were con-
Quoted in a perfectly agreeable manner.
We agreed on rates with the transconti-
mental railroads. Our company will run
its boats exactly as it has been doing.
''The Pacific Mail has certain rights in
the transportation of traffic across the
Isthmus of Panama under the contract of
1872 which have been defined by the courts
and these the Panama Railroad will, of
course, have to grant. We shall not in
augurate any war of rates, but shall simply
keep on in the even tenor OF our way. We
have been doing we'll enough under the
existing order of things and shall probably
keep on doing So"
Secretary E. A. Drake of the Panama
Railroad Company said: "Our steamship
service on the Atlantic will not be dis
turbed. 1t may be that an independent
company will be organized to operate on
the Pacific, in which event the chartered
vessels now IN that service will be turned
over to it."
Another officer of the Panama Railroad
said: 1--WE shall not resume negotiations
with the Pacific Mail Company, but shall
proceed to extend our steamship service -

KISSED AND MADE UP.
That Was the Happy Ending of
a Divorce Case in North
Dakota.
Pierce, an Insurance Man of This CITY
Induced His Wife to Return
to Him.

FARGO, \. D., Nov. 1.-One Dakota di-
vorce was spoiled to-day. About July 1,
Mrs. Ethel Pierce OF San Francisco came
TO Fargo, accompanied by her grand
mother, Mrs. Wylie, wealthy resident of
Valparaiso, Ind. Board was secured in a
private family and the grandmother re-
turned. Mrs. Pierce was one of the hand
somest ladies in the colony and was much
admired, but did not go into society much.
A decree of divorce was applied for on
the ground of non-support, and everything
was progressing nicely until her husband
arrived. He induced her to 90 for walk,
and when they returned Mrs. Pierce sur
prised her landlady with the statement
that they had kissed and made up, and
that they were going to live together
again. This morning they left for San
Francisco together as happy as if only on
a honeymoon.
From parties who claim to know the in
side facts, it is said Mrs. Wvlie objected
to the marriage of her granddaughter to
Pierce last spring. induced her to leave
him and come to Fargo for divorce, also
said that Pierce had detective watching
his wife and in some way secured copies
of kilograms that had been sent by his
wife and grandmother, and had been kept
posted as to the progress of the suit at the
place where Mrs. Pierce had been board
ing. These facts were denied, as well as
the story that the lady had left quantity
of iewelry to be forwarded to her grand
mother.
Pierce is said to be an independent in
surance adiuster and interested in the pub
hcation of a coast review fire insurance
organ published at San Francisco. This
Is an unusual case and said to be second
ever made up after appl ying for decree
here.

PROTECTION WAS ASKED,
That Is Why Mounted Police of
Canada Took Possession
of Gold Territory.
Proof That the Display of Force Was
Not Intended as a Land
Grab.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. IA special
from Ottawa says: The reason why Can
ada has built winter quarters for the
mounted police and occupied position on
the disputed gold territory claimed by the
United States has been ascertained by in
terviews with responsible officers of the
Government.
The case, as presented here, is that when
the first reports of the vast wealth of the
Yukon gold region were made public, with
characteristic push and energy trading
companies were formed in New York, Chi
cago, Boston, San Francisco and other
centers, to carry on trading in the district
These companies applied to the United
States for protection. Promises we're made
by successive Governments, but not carried
out, and, as q last resource, the traders ap-
piled to the Canadian Government for pro-
lection.
Their letters are on file here. They give
as their reason for asking Canadian inter
vention that the United States authorities
would not take action for the reason that
they were in canadian jurisdiction.
Finally q repre- esentative was sent here to
interview the Canadian Government. This
was G. H. Hamilton, resident manager at
Fort Cudahy, the "Forty-mile POST of
the North American Transportation Com.
pany of Chicago. AS result of Mr.. Ham.
ilton's mission a squad of Northwest
mounted police was eventually picked out
and dispatched to the gold region under
Captain Constantine with orders to main
tain law and order.
Constantine was further empowered tc
act as Collector of Customs, with staff
Sergeant Brown as assistant, for the dis
trict. They were given full control along
the assumed Canadian boundary, from
Mount Elias to the Arctic Ocean, which
comprises all the best of the gold regions
so far prospected, and permission to build
what may be called a fort at the junction
OF the Forty-mile and the Yukon rivers
This is commanding position in the
midst of gold field where rich and new
discoveries are being reported every day.
