CATACLYSM IN SICILY
Island Ravaged by Cyclone At.
tended by Destructive
Tidal Wave.
FOUR HUNDRED LIVES ARE LOST
Unknown Number of Bodies Is Swept
Away-Path of the Tornado
Is 124 Miles Long.
FOUR HUNDRED LIVES ARE LOST

Syracuse, Sicily, Sept. 27.-Catania,
a city on the east coast of this island,
has been flooded by a cyclone and
tidal wave and many houses have
been damaged, including the Villa
Bellini At Modica also there was
terrible havoc wrought. Mounts
Aetna and Stromboli are both threat
ening. For twenty-four hours before
the cyclone burst over the island a vio-
lent storm ragged on the eastern coast
of Sicily. The path of the cyclone was
124 miles long, and everything in the
line of the storm was destroyed. The
sea swept inland for several kilo-
metres, doing enormous damage, while
there were violent submarine agita-
tons between Sicily and the mainland.
Along the railroad from Catania to
Palermo the force of the cyclone was
such that rails were torn up and
hurled to a great distance.
Four Hundred Lives Lost.
1t is reported from Modica 0hirty-
two miles west-sOuthwest from SYRIA
cuse) that 100 bodies have already
been found, but that the number of
dead bodies swept away by the tor
rent is unknown. The newspaper Frac-
tissa expresses the belief that some
400 people have been killed. The tor
rent destroyed everything on the
ground floors In houses in the lower
portions Of Modica. Bridges and roads
have disappeared, and damage amount
ing to many million lire has been done
"a lire is worth about 20 cents.) The
survivors of the catastrophe have
taken refuge in the hills A relief COM
mittee and search parties have been
organized in Modica. The disaster is
supposed to have been due to marine
waterspout The German steamer
Caprera was wrecked at Catania, aft
er terrible struggle with the waves.
Two Torrents Sweep Modica-
A large portion of the low-lying part
of MOdica has been destroyed. Two
torrents, the st. Francis and the Ste.
Marie, which descend through the
town, rose suddenly and brought with
them masses of mud and heavy stones
and invaded the buildings Of Modica.
They carried away everything In their
course. Many houses were utterly
wrecked and others were seriously
damaged. Numerous animals persisted.
The number of victims is still IN
known, but eighty cOrpses have been
deposited in n single church. At Soicli
twelve persons were killed Tasearo
was destroyed Enormous damage was
done at Palazolo, Acreide, Farla and
Geratana.

Republicans OF the Third Iowa District
Nominate NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Hampton, Ia, Sept. 26.-Judge B. p
Birdsall, Of Clarion, Ia, was yesterday
nominated for congress by the Third
district Republican convention. The
nomination was made on the second
ballot by a vote of SO to &c for G. E.
Ransier, of Buchanan. The Third dis
trict Is at presentrepresentedb by Speak
er Henderson, who recently declined a
denomination. The report of the COM
mittee on resolutions was adopted, as
follows:
I'VE, the representatives of the Re
publicans Of the Third congressional
district of Iowa, heartily indorse the
platform Of principles adopted by the
late Republican state convention at
Des Moines. We deny that the Ding
ley tariff bfeeds and shelters trusts.
We interpret the tariff plank In the
Des Moines platform Of 1902 to be
nearly q reIteration of and to mean
no more than the st. Louis plank Of
1896, which recited: We are not
pledged to any particular schedules.
The question Of rates Is q practical
question to be governed by the condi-
tons of the times and of production.
The ruling and uncomprising prin-
ciple is the protection and development
Of American labor and industry"
The presidents policy is then in
dorsed and the following said about
Henderson: I'VE most earnestly re-
greet the declination Of the renomina-
ton which the Republicans of this dis
trict for the eleventh time unanimous
ly rendered the Hon. d. B. Hender-
son. We have faith In his
patriotism aud in his personal and
political integrity. We real
ke his superb leadership and COM
handing influence In governmental al
fairs and believe that his withdraw
al means q great loss to the people,"
d. G. Chaser, of Dubuque, resigned
as chairman of the congressional COM
mittee, and George E. Wright, of Eagle
Grove, was elected to fill the vacancy.
Judge BirdsaIl is about As years old.
The only Office he has ever held is the
5udgeship of the district court, which
he resigned a year ago to resume the
practice Of law in Clarion.

RESPONSE OF The MILL MEN
To the Demand of Their Employees for m
EightHour Day.

E1Rnt~hOur Doys
Minneapolis, Sept 27.-Formal an
swer was made yesterday by the -four
mill managers Of Minneapolis to the
demand submitted by their employees
union for an eight-hour day. The re-
Spouse in effect is as follows: ct is
not our intention to oppose you or
your union, but when ii comes to the
time of wages and hours we Tust
simply repeat our answer made 20 you
on May 17-that Minneapolis mills can
not pay for eight hours work high
er wages than mills In all Other Sec
tons of the country pay for twelve
hours work.
Your work is mainly superintend-
ing machines, and Is different than
the work of men in many other en-
pigments, and you cannot, as is
claimed for many other employments,
do as much work In eight hours as in
twelve hours. If, however, you have
fully made up your minds that you
want an eight-hour day we are will
ing to make the change and pay the
following wages: Millers now receiv-
ing So to receive 35 cents an hour,
machine men now receiving $3.50 to
receive 20 cents an hour, machine men
now receiving $2.25 to receive 26 cents
an hour. oilers now receiving 81 to re-
ceive 23H cents an hour. sweepers now
receiving $1.15 to receive - cents an
hour.
This gives you the eight-hour sched-
ule you have desired, and In addition
a very large increase In the hourly
wage. II this proposition Is turned
down we shall shut down our mills,
or employ other men who are more
reasonable In their Demands The

Counter-Charge.
Philadelphia, Sept %. = President
Mitchell, of the United Mine Work
ers. took up at length the charges Of
lawlessness on the part of the min
ers in a speech at the Third Regiment
armory last night under the auspices
of the South Philadelphia Business
Mems League. He made the counter
charge that the operators are guilty
of lawlessness in the employment Of
professional criminals as coal and iron
policemen. Mitchell came here at the
invitation Of the league to address it's
meeting. He received about 500 which
had been contributed by various or
ganiZatiOns for the benefit of the min
ers
Mitchell, In his address, said in part:
Recently the papers, or that small
number of them friendly to the coal
trust, have been printing stories of
lawlessness, and they say the miners
want to go back to work. Let me say
to you that for more than eight weeks
the militia Of Pennsylvania have sur
rounded the mines and not one single
striker has returned to work. Yet ii
Is true that my people are suffering
for the necessities of life j is trne
that their children are going about
barefooted. But the Pennsylvania coal
miners have for years lived on little
and a little less is no uncomfortable
hardship.

Of anthracite workers. Let me call
