ing and wires down; ,1 gj.sS 5..
The situation is chiefly serious from
its posi- ibiities as conditions are similar

disastrous fires that devastated many
towns and resulted in scores Of fatali-
Ties. Unless rains come soon a repeti-
ton Of that disaster is feared.

House Judiciary Committee Sub
u. mits a Favorable Report on
the Measure
BY Which It is Proposed to In
diemnify Foreign Victims Of
Mob Violence.
These Affairs Have Caused Much
Trouble and Danger Of Dip
lomatic Rupture. a

Il WASHINGTON, April rs. The judiciary
committee Of the house has directed a
favorable report on the bill providing
means of indemnifying foreigners in
jured in person or property through
mob violence Or otherwise in this coun-
try. The measure grows out Of the
lynching of Italians in Louisiana and
the representations made by Italy
through Baron Fava, the Italian ambas-.
sador. AS affairs Of this kind were of
frequent occurrence, each time threat
ening diplomatic complications, the
president recommended a general meas
ure of redress, and the bill now reported
seeks to carry out this recommendation
The text of the bill as finally adopted,
is as follows: $$s
THAT any subject oBe citizen of for
eign state, claiming of the United
States, under treaty, or upon the prin-
ciples Of international /, law, indemnity
for injury to person or property may
bring suit upon such claim in the court
of claims. Such sections and provis.
ions of chapter 359 Of the acts Of 1887,
as are applicable to the court Of claims
shall apply to and govern the initiation
i of such suits and all subsequent pro
ceedings therein.
% s Provided, that the provisions Of this
act shall apply only to the citizens or
subjects Of those foreign states accord
inglike rights and privileges to the cit.
liens of the United States. And pro-
vided further, that no suit shall be
brought after the expiration of two
years from the accruing Of such claim
or cause of action.
'.And provided further, that it shall
be a defense to such suit, that the plain
tiff has made his domicile in the United
States for more than "a year contin-
uonsly prior to the accruing of such al
legged claim or cause of action. = }.
VI In case the bill becomes law, it is
understood that its provision will cover
cases arising one year prior to the en-
actment, which probably would include
the last Italian affairs in louisiana

LORNE DUKE OF ARGYLE.

Queens son-in-Law Inherits the Title of
5s' s His Father.
LONDON, April 25. The succession Of
the Marquis Of Lorne to the dukedom
of Argyle, owing to the death Of his
father, creates a vacancy in the house
of commons for South Manchester,
which the marquis represented. It is
understood that had the seat been safer
for the Unionists, a vacancy would
have been created some time ago by the
queen making her son-in-law peer.
Now the Unionists are forced to recon-
test the constituency, which only gave
the Marquis Of Lorne a majority Of is
at the last election. It is presumed
that the Princess Louise, daughter of
Queen Victoria. and wife Of the Mar
squis Lorne, will hereafter assume the
title Of Duchess Of Argyll. ii zsa

Boston was close up to the starting line
whenever and wherever yachting contests
were on.
II certainly should do nothing to make
myself the Boston representative in the
coming cup contests until the old yachtsmen
to whom l referred have signified their dis
inclination to again take UP the burden and
their wish that l should do so.
while l do not pretend to be an active

an attempt to participate in the cup defense
to not be anxious for the responsibilities
which would necessarily go with this honor
