PLENaRY INDULGENCE asked.
To All Priests Who Shall Free Themselves
Daily From Crime.
(By the Associated Press.

(By the Associated Press.
London, Sept. 6.-According to the
Daily Chronicles Rome correspondent,
a we'll known ecclesiastic has forward
a remarkable petition to the Pope. In
the interests of civilized society and the
honor of religion in Italy ne begs the
Pontiff to grant plenary indulgence to
all priests or monks who shall wash
themselves daily, with extra partial in
diligence to those shaving regularly at
least three times week during a speci-
fled period.
Students belonging to the Tuetonic and
Anglo Saxon colleges at Rome" con-
tinues the correspondent "are easily re-
cognizabIe by their general neatness and
cleanliness, but in the italian seminares
and monastic' novitiates, the traditional
sanctity of dirt still holds sway. In most
of them soap, hair brushes and looking
glass are worldly luxuries excluded by
rule, and the clerics emerging there
from perpetuate the tradition. The
Pope on occasion has evinced annoyance
at the unkemt condition Of monks who
have come in close contact with his au7
gust person. Visitors to Italy will
heartily welcome the innovation.

THE FEATURE OF THE WAR GAME.
The Countermining of Newport Harbor Under
the Guns of Fort Adams.
(Bv the ASSOCIATED Press.)

Block Island, r. L., Sept. 1.-THE daring
work of early Friday morning, of Lieu
tenants Robinson and Hughes in counter
mining Newport harbor, furnished the
feature event of the war game.
The details of the dash of the gunboat
Peoria into the channels of Narragansett
Bay have not appeared because the story
of the affair is known only to the par
Elephants therein. Those were Lieuten-
ants S. R. Robinson and Gunner S. T..

Thursday afternoon the Peoria was
painted black, and a large sail launch
from the Massachusetts was similarly
treated. Provided with mines and cable
the Peoria having in tow the launch,
passed into Narragansett Bay disguised
as a tugboat, bringing in disabled
schooner. Steaming directly under the
guns of Fort Adams the Peoria separated
from her and grappled for the mines.
The lieutenants marvel today that the
men behind the guns were not suspicious
of the dark craft, busy 300 yards from
the shore. Searchlights found them, but
there was no idea that they were from
the camp of the enemy.

A CORRUPT BARGAIN
Tom |. Opens the Ohio Cam
paign, Roasting the Re-
publican Legislature
[Bx the Associated Press.l

Lorain, Ohio, Sept. 6.-The Democratic
State campaign was opened in this city
tonight. A tent with seating capacity
of $500 people was crowded. The prin-
cipal address was that of Mayor Tom u
Johnson, of Cleveland. He said in part:
1--WE. in this campaign are trying to
advocate principles that are backed by
the truth. The last State Legislature
controlled and guided largely under the
influence of two United States Senator'S,
did some good things. l commend that
portion of the work. But the Legislature
with knowledge that the steam railroads
were not paying by four millions of dol
lars a year in taxes as much as farmers
and home owners deliberately increased
them but 100000 a year instead of
$4,000,000. The last Legislature exempted
stockholders in railroads from taxa
ton and placed the burden upon the
property of those engaged in competitive
business in the State of Ohio. Is that
fair scheme of taxation?
1.-THE Republican leaders have carried
out a corrupt bargain to make the peo-
pie of Ohio pay more than their share
of taxes in order that those owning
monopolies living outside the State
should pay less. That is what we con-
denim in the State Legislature.
"Then, further, some men who are high

Government of the city of Cleveland was
at fault, a government that had been
satisfactory for twelve years and under
which the people of Cleveland had power
to change the officials as often as they
cared to, and in getting rid of that gov
eminent they pulled down the govern
ment of every city in the State.
NOW the Legislature is in the midst
of preparing a municipal code to govern
the cities of Ohio, and to the extent that
they will do it in the interest of the
home rule l say to them, God-speed, but

eminent in the cities then / say this

Eruption Of the Sixth Instant.
CBy the Associated Press.)

C3y the Associated Press)
st Thomas, d. w. l., Sept. 6.--Advices
from the Island of st. Vincent report
that a slight eruption of the Soufriere
volcano occurred at noon on September
Bird. The outbreak was accompanied by
rumblings and caused an exodus of the
population. from Georgetown and Chateau
Belair On the fourth, at half past seven
in the morning and again at ten o'clock
last night, loud noises resembling
thunder were heard. These noises were
accompanied by electrical discharges
from La Soufriere, which continued un-
til one o'clock in the morning, when a
continuous roar began, lasting until four
o'clock. This was followed by a muir
muring sound, which was heard until six
in the morning In a short time the
heavens were obscured by dust or smoke
and the scene was something fearful
Nobody slept at all during the night
No dust, the adviees say, has yet fallen
at Kingstown or Georgetown, but the
atmosphere has a hazy look. Dust and
pebbles fell at Barronollie at four
o'clock on the afternoon of September
the 4th.
Reports from Chateau Belair are to the
effect that there has been a heavy fall
of sand there, and that of the arrow-root
cultivation on the Sharpe, Petit Bordel
and Richmond Vale estates has been de-
stroyed by the sand. No deaths have
been reported.

SHOCKS OF EARTHQUAKE
The Most Frightful Eruption of the
Soufriere.
ST. vNcEA!'s POPULATION IN A PANIC
The Sun is 0bscured and Oppressive Heat Pre-
walls. The Sea is Agitafed. Sand
Falls Ten Miles From the
Crater.
tBy the Associated Press.)

Kngstovn, st. Vincent, Thursday, Sept
Am appalling phenomenon was wit
messed here last night 1t lasted from
p. m. until O'Clock this morning. A
dreadful eruption of the Soufriere vol
COMO enveloped this whole island in an
electric cloud and smoke. At IL o'clock
this morning the atmosphere is still I'M
settled, but the eruption is apparently
SGbsiding. The sun is obseured and OPP
pressive heat prevails. The sea is slight
ly agitated Sand has fallen ten miles
from the crater. No sand has fallen here.
The northern centers are deserted.
The eruption of yesterday was longer
in duration and more violent in action
than even the first outburst of May 18th.
With haunting recollection of the fate
of ST. Pierre, Martinique and the last
disaster here, the people conyerged on
Kingstown and ran to and fro seeking
the safest shelters from the threatening
electric cloud spreading over the hills
toward the town, while shocks of earth
quake, though not severe, increased the
panic.
At O'Clock in the morning loud rapid
explosions were mingled with the con-
tinuous, terrible roar and the zimmerman
darkness changed into constantly glim-
mering armament, illumined by forked
lightning, balls of fire ascending from
the crater and bursting into meteor-like
showers. Such an awe-inspiring scene
the widest flights of fancy could not
have imagined. This lasted till three
O'Clock in the morning. The ruInor that
tidal wave was expected caused in
creased agitation and hundreds of peo-
pie fled to the hill adjoining the town.
Superheated clouds rose to an immense
height and rain clouds below sent down
showers.
At a. m. silver clouds were issuing
from the crater and throughout the day
they moved slowly northward. The heat
was abnormal and there were renewed in
dfcations of a further outbreak of the
volcano.
Last night there were unmistakable
signs of Mont Pelee, Martinique beginning
eruption simultaneously with the Sou
friere distinct electric flashes being OBJ
served on the northwestern horizon.

NO IMPORTANT RESULTS.
Will Follow the Conference Of Boer Generals
With Chamberlain.
(By the Associated Press.)

W inc <AooOCldleu IIGSS.J
London, Sept. 6.-Nothing important
it is believed now, is likely to ensue as
a result of the conference held yesterday
at the Colonial Office between Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain and the Boer
Generals Botha, DeWet and De La Rey
There may be, however, slight modifica-
tions of the plans outlined for the re-
settlement of matters in the annexed
territories, but these will be in the ma
ture of internal changes, more interest,"
ing to political economists, than to the
world at large; and even these will only
occur after Mr.. Chamberlain shall have
consulted with Lord Miner, British
High Commissioner in South Africa, and
after such consultation, have laid the
matter before the Cabinet.
What transpired at yesterdays confer
ence is little more than what happens
when one of the members Of the Cabinet
receives trade or other delegation in
support of it's particular views. No
topic really vital to the conquered re-
publics, so far as their relations to the
outside world are concerned, could be
admitted to discussion. Such points were
irrevocably settled when the terms of
peace were signed. The concessions
which the Boer Generals urged Mr..
Chamberlain to make were almost vitality
important to individual Beers, especially
to land owners, but of comparatively
small importance to the rank and file in
England, except to those who. through
investment or otherwise, are directly
concerned in South Africa. Except for
the breaking of precedents, hampering
.srxsv, 1rxrn lfct-
of Cape Colony and Natal, it may safely
be said that Mr. Chamberlain might
easily have conceded all the generals
asked. These exceptions, however, in
volve so many wheels within wheels that
the discussions are likely to be protract-
ed, with a result that will combine as
much of compromise as is consistent
with the imperial dignity.

Paris, Sept. 6.-The correspondent of
the Associated Press learns that neither
the partial nor the total evacuation of
the Island of Martinique has been de-
cided upon. The question has not even
been considered by the government. The
only instructions sent to the governor
which may have given rise to the report
are directions to avoid conglo. leration
at Fort de France by the distribution of
the fugitives in the Southern communes.
The government will shortly again send
to Martinique Professor Lacroix, who
was the head of the last scientific mis-
sion, to establish permanent Observa-
