Central American Disaster Thought
to Have Been Caused by Vol

at Sea.

SAN FRANCISCO, March l0.--The Pa
cifc Mail companys steamt Newport,
from Central America and Me xican ports,
brings details of recent disaster between
La Libertad and a point thirty miles
north of Aeajutla. Without a moments s
warning q terrific tidal wave burst over
all the length of the coast, ard when the
Newport sailed for San Francisco it was
said that fifty-three bodies had already
been recovered and buried No possible
estimate of the full loss of life could be
made.
The wave went easterly over the bar
riers that had been bull along the coast
and swept the towns of La I.ibe-tad ana
Acajutla, carrying away the fresh water
pumps at the latter place.
There seems to have been not the
slightest warning of the disaster" said
the officers of the Newport ''The only
thing that will account for its is some ter
rife volcanic eruption far out at sea-
The wave rolled in like a mountain, and
there was not break to it until it strack
the beach, when it swept over the en-
bankments, completely inundating the
whole coast, and almost wiping out all
the small buildings in La J.ibertad and
Acajutla. When we left thelwork of res
cuing the remains had only just begun,
while nothing at all had been done in
the way of repairing the damage except
replacing the fresh water plant"

WASHINGTON, March 10.-The agri-

canvass, admit of the making of any
necessary adjustments in the acreage fig
ures of this department, no quantitative
estimate of the amount of grain remain

will be made by the statistician. Reports
received from the departments CORE
spondents, however, indicate that about
23 per cent of last years wheat crop is

oat crop was much below the average
This conspicuous departure from the or

Henry of Prussia finished his American

The prince was met .. the railroad sta

After shaking hands with the mayor LAe

THIRD SESSION EXTRAORDINARY
OF MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE
PASSES INTO HISTORY
COST STATE PRETTY PENNY
Anderson Tax Bills Passed and Dog
Tax Law Repealed at an
Expense of About
100000.
FINAL ADJOURNMENT TODAY

The labors of the third session ex-
traordinary of the Minnesota legislature
are finished. 1t has passed the Anderson
tax bills, spent $4,000 and repealed the
dog tax law. Today the members of both
houses will assemble, fix the seal of their
approval on their work by approving the
journal and adjourn sine die
The house yesterday perpetrated a sur
prise on itself and the Democratic mi
nority by passing both of the Penning-
ton bills for the taxation of corporations.
Their passage was so late, however, as to
insure their defeat by default in the SEN
ate. Then it passed a bill appropriating
1900 for the deficiency in the legislative
expense account, the Johnson bill appro-
priating $50,000 for the St Louis exposi-
ton, the Hillmond telephone bill and the
Plowman wolf bounty bill The rest of
the day was spent in the indiscriminate
slaughter Of more or less unoffensive
measures
The adoption OF the senate amendments
to the Anderson bills by the house perched
the gentleman from Winona firmly on
the topmast pinnacle of leadership
around which he has closely circled since
his entrance to legislative halls and COM
pleted the defeat of Van SAINT jacobson
and the tax commission The jibes of the
administration whips who charged Ander-
son with having chronic case of swelled
head when he said he had bills to
straighten out the tax tangle were con-
spicuous by their absence yesterday. The
long gentleman from Van SAINTS town had
done just exactly what he set out to do
whip the administration and vindcate the
theories held by himself and State Auditor
Dunn.
When Anderson's real estate tax bill
came back from the senate yesterday
morning slightly amended Anderson at
once moved that the house concur in the
amendments Hillary, OF Washington
county, did not wish to concur, and moved
for the appointment of conference com
mittee. Anderson rolled up his sleeves
Tor another fight, and when the smoke
cleared away the house had adopted the
amendments and passed the bill by vote
of 76 to 3. Late in the afternoon, when
the other bill providing for an inheritance
tax, came back from the senate Ander-
son was ready for another fight but the

NOT AFTER HENDERSON
OPPOSITION TO CUBAN RECIPROC-
ITY NOT AIMED AT sPEAKER.
Both Sides to Cuban Controversy
Straining Every Nerve to
Keen Members Lined

WASHINGTON, March 10.-In view of
reports that the opposition to the WAYS
and means committee 20 per cent Cuban
reciprocity plan was a movement against
Speaker Henderson and those of the
house in authority, Representative Will
lam Alden Smith, of Michigan, one of the
most active members of the opposition
has called on Speaker Henderson and has
assured him that the opposition was not
directed in any manner against the
house leadership or the speaker Mr.
Smith said that those conducting the op-
position had the highest regard for the
speaker, and that the present movement
was due solely to an earnest conviction
against a reduction of tariff duties.
Mr.. Smith also called on Secretary
Shaw, and presented to the secretary a
means by which, in Mr. Smiths judg-
ment, relief could be given to Cuba by
action of the treasury without recourse to
reciprocity reduction. Mr.. Smith point
ed out that under the recent Brussels
agreement the Cartol system would con-
tlnue another year. He proposed there
fore, that under section of the Dingley
act, countervailing duty be imposed
by the treasury against sugar under the
cartel system, the same as this counter
valling duty is now imposed on bounty
sugar. 1t was urged in support of this
plan that 1T would give greater relief to
Cuban sugar than any action congress
could take Mr.. Smith also said tha,
India had held the cartel to De similar
to the bounty system and haa imposed
d countervailing duty on both alike.
Secretary Shaw took the suggestion un-
der consideration. u ~
Both elements in the Cuban reciprocity
controversy were active about the house
of representatives today perfecting their
canvasses and holding consulta tons.
Representative Long, of Kansas, in
charge of the ways and means canvass,
was busy locating the exact attitude OF
members, but he was making no claims.

United States Brings Action Against
Northern Securities Company
Under Sherman Antitrust
Act of 1890.
THE DOCUMENT IS A VOLUMINOUS ONE

The papers in the so-called merger case,
the United States against the Northern
Securities company, the Great Northern
Railway company, the Northern Pacific
Railway company, and others, were filed
in the federal court in st. Paul last even
ing at O'Clock by District Attorney
Purdy. The action is a bill in equity
brought under the Sherman antitrust
act of 1890, and the petition is signed by
M. d. Purdy. United States district at
attorney general of the United States, and
John X. Richards, solicitor general Of
the United States
The petition is a voluminous document.
which renearses all the ground covered
in the recent suit Of the state of Min
nesota against the Northern Securities
company. 1t declares that the Northern
Securities company was not formed in
good faith, but is a conspiracy to evade
the law by placing the majority Of the
stock of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern railway systems in the control
of the Northern Securities company and
for the purpose of destroying competition.
The petition asks the court to perpetually
restrain the Northern Securities company
from purchasing or voting any OF the
shares of the capital stock of either the
Great Northern or Northern Pacific rail
way companies. 1t asks that the stock
holders Of the two railway companies be
restrained from recognizing the Northern
Securities company as the owner or hold
er of any of the shares of their capital
stock. The full text of the complaint Is
