VOLCANO IN ERUPTION
EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS TERROR
IZE INHABITANTS.
Country Covered With Coating of
Pumice Stone and Ashes-One
Town Destroyed.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 7.-Upward of
1000 lives have been lost and half the city
of Ratalhulen, Guatemala, mas been de-
strOyed by the eruption of Tacana volcano.
according to advices received here today
by the Chilean steamer Palena, from Val
paraiso and way ports.
Ratalhulen is several miles back from
Champerico, on the coast, and it was at
the latter city that news of the disaster
was secured.
Earthquakes, it was said, had continued
at short intervals every day since the great
disturbance of April is, when the city of
QueZaltenango was destroyed.
Whole Region in Terror.
The shocks have been of sufficient
strength to keep the residents of the en-
tire region in a state of terror, and little
has been done to repair the damage caused
by them ard the volcanic eruptiOns
Pumice stone and ashes thrown from
the crater of Tacana have spread a thin
coating over the territory surrounding
ChamperiCo.
\ few days before the Palena left Cham
perico an earthquake destroyed a small
town near Guatemala City, but its name
was not learned.

VOTED TO GIVE HEARING.
Charleston Men to Urge Passage of
the Relief Bill.

The select committee of the House on
industrial arts and eXpositions met this
morning and voted to grant a hearing to a
Charleston delegation next Wednesday
morning at 1890 o'clock on the Lattimer
bill for the relief of the Interstate and
West Indian exposition in the city of
Charleston. The bill provides that $4,000
shall be appropriated out OF the treasury
for the relief of this exposition, with the
proviso that in the distribution of any mon
eys that remain in the treasury of said In
terstate and West Indian Exposition Com
pany after the payment of its debts the
aforesaid sum SO appropriated shall be re-
paid in full to the treasury of the United
States before any dividend, return or dis
tribution shall be made to the holders of
the capital stock of said corporation.

THE DISTRICT BILL.
Senate Subcommittee Still Engaged
in Perfecting It

The subcommittee of the Senate commit
tee on appropriations which has the Dis
trict bill under consideration was in ses-
sion today, and had before it Mr.. Ma
comb the superintendent of sewers. The
subcommittee will not be ready before
Monday, If then, to report the bill to the
full committee. There are many features
of the bill that the subcommittee has not
passed upon finally III has about de-
cided that the amount of exemption from
tax under the bill will be increased to
1000, and that keepsakes, heirlooms, Jew
elry and articles of personal adornment
Will be exempt. 1t is estimated that this
exemption will allow complete exemption
OF almost 1900 households in the District
In general way the subcommittee will
amend the personal tax provision of the
House of Representatives by substituting
for it the Senate bill introduced by Mr.
Mcmillan. This bill will probably be fur
ther changed so that public utilities will
pay 1 per cent on their gross earnings as
tax. The street railroads now pay that
amount of tax. Under the proposed tax
the gas company will pay over $4,000 an
nually, while it now pays about $4,000. The
electric light and telephone companies will
be subject to this tax. An estimate which
is regarded to be as reliable as can be Sc
cured at this time is that this bill will
raise between $6OO000 and 500, 600 The un-
certainty as to the amount of revenue to
be secured in the District may lead the
committee to defer any arrangement for an
advance of money from the treasury until
another year.

day, in an opinion by Commissioner Yeo-
mans, announced its decision in the case
of Charles H. Johnson of Norfolk. Neb,
against the Chicago, St Paul, Minneapolis
and Omaha Railway Company and others.
The decision of the commission is that
the freight rates in effect from Chicago,
ILL.,, to Norfolk, Neb., and from Duluth,
Mimi, to Norfolk are unjust and unrea-
sonable: and upon the facts and circum-
stances shown in the case the rates from
Chicago to Norfolk should not exceed those
in force from Chicago to Columbus. Neb..
and the rates from Duluth to Norfolk
should not exceed the rates in force from
Duluth to Emerson, Neb., added to the
present local rates in effect from Emerson
to Norfolk. The commission also holds
that posting a notice in a station or depot
that the tariff sheets of the railroad COM
pany may be found in some other place is
not compliance with the provision in the
sixth section of the act requiring the post
ing of rate schedules or tariffs in every
such depot or station.
