When President Theodore Roosevelt
Passed Through Paducah.
A Few People We're at the Train Just
for Curiosity'-President
to Hunt.
HE Is IN MISSISSIPPI TODAY

President Theodore Roosevelt passed
through the city this morning on his
special train at ;2S clock. He arrived
at 4:23 and after changing engines,
left five minutes after arrival AL the
persons aboard the train were asleep
when Psducah was reached but there
were about 2o persons at the depot to
see him pass.
President Roosevelt is en- route to a
point in Mississippi, where he has Az
ranged to spend several days hunting
black bear as the guest Of President
Fish, Of the Illinois Central railroad.
He is travelling on special train of
three cars and If accompanied BY Sec
Rotary Cortelyou and his physician,
DR.. g. A. Lung. of the navy. He
went direct to Memphis, Tenn, With
out stops. He reached Memphis this
morning where he was joined by Pres
ident Fish, and the journey to Mis-
sissippi will be made over the Yazoo
and Mississippi railroad.
The NEXT destination Of the presi-
dent has been kept secret. Hunting
with gallery is not to the taste of a
sportsman like President Roosevelt, and
1t WIS for that reason that he vetoed
the hunt to which Gov ernor Gongino
invited him. A camp has already
been prepared in Northern Mississip-
pi, a few miles from the line OF the
railroad, aud IL is understood that
one of the best packs Of hounds in
the south is waiting to be slipped on
the trail of old bruin upon the presi-
dents arrival
Bear are reported to be plentiful
and there are also said to be some
panther in the vicinity, so that the
president is looking forward to the
sport with much pleasure.
The train will be sidetracked at the
nearest point to the camp and remain
there until the presidents return to
Memphis next Wednesday.
A vioksburg special says: Two
cars of hunting apparatus, guns, am
munition, etc, are now sidetracked
at Smedes Station awaiting the srri-
val of President Roosevelt tomorrow
morning. The president will hunt for
several days in the Issaquens Swamps.

No Important Legislation Expected
at This Session.
Congress Meets in Two Weeks No
Necessity for Tinkering With
the Tariff.
MR.. GRosvENoR OF OHIO TALKS

Washington, Nov. l3--very little
legislation Of national importance il
expected to be enacted by this SEES
sion of the congress, which convenes
two weeks from next Monday and con-
tinues until March 4.
The question of reducing the repre-
sentation Of the South in congress
will be thoroughly discussed, and
early in the session the Republicans
will hold caucus TO determine some
plan Of action on this subject. Presi-
dent Roosevelt's firm stand against the
Acknowledgement of the negro will be
an incentive to press the bill looking
to congressional reduction with more
than usual vigor. Democratic senators,
at such short session, can talk the
measure to death, but in the next con-
gress it will likely DO revived with q
better show Of success for its passage.
Representative Grosvenor Of Ohio
came in town today, snd was asked
about legislation this winter. He said
well, l cannot see any prospect for
tariff revision. In the first place, il is
debatable question ss to the demand
for IL. The defeat of Foss in Massa-
chusetts might be taken as pointer
that there is not q demand. Out my
way, when we talked about tariff revi-
sion to the people, we noticed that
they were responsive to the sugges-
tion that the Republican is willing
to revise the tariff when it is wise
10 do so, and they were enthusiastic
over the statement that when revi-
sion comes it must be undertaken by
the Republican party, and that party
alone. We certainly cannot do any
thing with the tariff this session.
When the Dingley bill was framed it
took from the 18th of March until
July to do 1t.
81 imagine we will worry along
with the appropriation bills at this
session and then knock of work until
the following session"

And Many Lives Lost in a Volcanic
Upheaval.
Frightful Tale Told Of Happenings
en- Santa Maria, in Gen.
tral America.
MANY CATTLE RIsH

San Francisco, Nov. 13-The Pa
cific Mail steamer Newport, which ar
rived from Central America today,
brought details Of the eruption Of the
volcano Of Santa Maria, which spread
ruin over q section of northern Guate-
mala on October 25. Many lives were
lost as result Of the fall of ashes
from the volcano, thousands of horses,
cattle and other animals were killed
and the rich coffee districts Of the re.
public are ruined. 1t is reported that
the loss of the new crop of coffee will
amount to 100000 centals or 10, 900
tons.
Some Of the best and most extensive
plantations in Guatemala are entirely
ruined, and the rate Of exchange has
risen to 1900 per cent. Roads and
bridges leading inland from Champer-
loo were ruined by the weight Of ashes
mud and stones falling from great
heights.
Passengers on the Newport said that
fully q thousand persons persisted IN
the upheavsl. The whole town Of
ohsmperico and the long pier that juts
into the sea were covered during the
Viewpoints visit by heavy cloak of
white ashes resembling a fall Of snow,
and the sho wer of ashes that still con-
tinued and covered the steamers
decks making breathing difficult.
Americans in Champerico said the
towns of Palmar, San FELIPE, Colcm-
bia and Coatepec had been destroyed.
with probable great loss of life. The
ashes thrown from the volcano still
lay over the plsntation ms and towns to
depth Of six or seven feet, and houses
had been crushed by the weight of
mud, stones and debris. The towns of
Retahuleu, Mszatepgo and Quezalte-
mango are reported to have suffered
very little. Details of the real stu
alton were, however, just beginning
to be received at Champerlco In an
intelligent form.

stock in the interior makes terrible

The Convention will Adjourn Tonight
Position ON the Currency Question.

Mr.. George O. Thompson, of the
American. German National bank, re-
turned at noon from the National
Bankers convention ut New Orleans
and states that the convention will ad-
journ tonight.
There has been large attendance.
The attitude Of the association toward
the currency question was fixed at the
session yesterday. No decisive stand
was taken on the questions Of assets,
currency or branch banking, ii being
considered unwise to act until q solu-
tion of the questions had been evolved.
but provision was made for the APP
pointment of committee to carefully
consider the entire subject, to report
at the next meeting. The same reso-
luton stated the associations approx
al of q law imparting a greater degree
of elasticity to tine currency system, to
make it responsive to the demands of
the business interests Of the country.
The discussions of those questions
were very thorough and interesting.
Ex-C Comptroller of the Currency
Charles G. Dawes, Congressman
Charles N. Fowler and Editor Horace
White of the New York Evening Post,
were the stars in the discussion. No
two OF them agreed fully.
A resolution favoring the Louisi.
ana Purchase Exposition was referred
to the executive council.

WANTS LEADERS TO RETIRE.

WANTS LEADERS TO RETIRE.
Henry Watteison, in an editorial in
his paper, advocates the retirement OF
Cleveland, Hill and Bryan, of the demo-
cratic party, and calls on the younger
men to lead TIE party. He says: "The
party must be -afcguarded against the
old copperheld horde. They who make
10 distinction between expansion, an
accomplished fact, and republican gov
enment must be sent to the rear The
constitution must prevail The flag Is
its symbol-our flag, God defend it, bless
it, and keep it for freedom and freemen,
the wide world over. May it nowher
come as terror to those that love
liberty. May it never appear as the
signal for oppression, rapine and pilla@e.

ing these principles. They will ring

trarv power. As friends and brothers,
not as factionists, let us find nOmi-
nee who will reflect them, a nominee
who will represent them; some rockrib-

Bryan might contribute much to them Ii
he would Obviously he is filled with
himself, not with the good Of the party.
In a word, he is professional politician.
Mr.. Cleveland can contribute nothing
except confusion, division and embilter-
ed contention. Hence we have drawn
the line on him. Really the shockheads
must come to the rescue and take the
lead; the long legged, big Drained young
sters. with heads on their shoulders and
hearts in their bosoms, not yet corrupted
by Office seeking and Office holding, yet
faithful to organic truth because they

TO- ALEXANDRIA. VA" THURSDAY EVENING" at 0o

by the War Department to hide
the fact that considerable con
Germ is felt for the safety of the
troops under the command of Captain
Pershing, encamped at Camp Vickers.
General Chaffee states in his cablegram
to the department, which was received
late last evening, that between thirty
and forty natives were killed by the
alling of walls in the towns of the dis
trict, but that up to the present time no
American has lost his life. In view Of
the many volcanic disturbances that
have occurred in various parts of the
world within the past few months, the
greatest anxiety is felt for the troops in
Mindanao, and in other islands ofthe
Philippine group. General Chafiee says
in his dispatch that the mountains and
rivers on Mindanao are somewhat dis
turbed. He also reports that as far as
the war with the Moros is concerned,
everything has been quiet since the
earthquakes. The earthquakes have oc-
Cured in the Moro country, and it is
thought probable that the natives are
completely demOralized.
