POPE RECEIVES GOVERNOR TAFT
Affairs in the Philippines Discussed at
the Interview.

Rome, June THE Pope on Thurs
day received Judge Taft. civil govern
or of the Philippines; Bishop Thomas
O'Gorman of Sioux Falls South Dako-
ta; Judge Smith and Major Porter or
the judge advocates department at
Washington.
Judge Taft presented the pontifr
with box containing President Roose-
velt's literary works and the Pope ex-
pressed his thanks for Mr.. Roosevelt's
friendly greetings. promised TO study
the difficult question and said he
hoped for good results. The pontifr
also asked Judge Taft to thank Presi-
dent Roosevelt for his gift.
While talking with the Pope, Gov
ernor Taft reviewed in summary
way the questions in the Philippines
which require settlement. He pointed
out to his holiness that the readjust-
ment of church and state in the is
lands was not an indication of hostil-
ity of the United States to the Cath
olic church, but declared that such a
readjustment was merely necessity
under the American constitution. Gov
ernor Taft referred TO the prosperity
and the freedom of the Roman Catho-
lie Church in the United States. and
cited these conditions as an assurance
that the vatican had nothing to fear
from the extension of the authority or
the United States over the Philippine
islands.
Replying to Judge Taft, the pontiff
expressed the greatest pride in the
Roman Catholic Church in the United
States, and intense interest in the greas
republic. He said he earnestly desired
TO help the American administration OF
the Philippines in every possible way,
and he assured Governor Taft that the
vatican would approach all questions
raised in the broadcast an most con-
'-iliatory spirit. The connection with
the questions TO be decided would be
referred to a committee of cardinals,
where they would be considered ar
length and that all the issues would
be treated with the sole aim of reach
ing settlement satisfactory 30 all
parties concerned.

San Francisco, June 7.-Another city
in Central America has suffered almost
complete destruction and hundreds Of
its inhabitants have been killed by vol
canic eruptions.
The steamer Palena arrived yester-
day from southern ports with news
that the town Of Retalbulon, situated
at the foot of Mount Tacoma, in Guat-
emala, has been buried under Il mass
or lava, stones and ashes thrown from
the volcanic crater, and probably LOCO
Of its people have perished.
The volcano is about twenty-five
miles from Champanico, and near the
town of Tapachulo, which, it is be-
lieved, also suffered severely.
The eruption occurred several days
before the Palena arrived at Champan-
leo. The volcano had shown signs of
the impending eruption for several
days previous to the outbreak. In fact
Mount Tacoma had been restless ever
since the great earthquake of April 1S,
which destroyed the city of Quesalte-
uiLSO. fOr weeks Dlack pail OIL
smoke hung over its summit and the
glare from the crater frequently illu-
minated the sky. Many of the inhabi-
tants of Retalbulon fed from their
homes to places of safety and these
escaped frightful deaths. When the
eruption at last broke forth in its full
fury, showers of lava. ashes and stones

for miles around. The bay of Cham
pincO was a mass of floating pumic

no details We're obtainable by the Of
ficers of the Palena, but the loss of life
was estimated at not less than 1000.
The same steamer brought letter to
Balfour, Guthrie & Co.. from their
agent in Guatemala, confirming the re-
port of the eruption. He also stated
that since the earthquake of April IS
shocks had been of almost daily occur
renee A few days before the Palena
sailed small village near Mount Ia

The volcano of Santa Maria is also
stated to have been in state of erup-

The train was running slow, but the

CHANGES ARE CONTEMPLATED.
Street Car Tracks to Be Moved from
FairvieW to Market.

There Is talk of the street car company
doing some more building next summer.
The information is not official but it is
from source that is pretty reliable. that
several changes will be made.
1t is evidently the intention of the com
pany to build on South Emporia avenue,
and some changes are contemplated in
the north part OF the city that will plea 81
some people and cause a vigorous pro-
test from others.
The company contemplates making the
stock yards line shorter and to do 50.
that instead OF crossing the Missouri
Pacific at Twelfth Street the line viii
be extended along the east side IF the
Missouri Pacific right of way to Ma .xer
street and then run up Market to the
packing houses.
This will necessitate the moving Of
the line from Fairview avenue over TO
Market street. TIVE nty minutes are new
required to make the run from Do~g!as
avenue TO the packing houses. but when
the line is switched over to Market il can
be made in fifteen minutes and one car
less viii be required to maintain ten

TO use the track that will be saved in
shortening the stock yards line 10 build
a good line west on Ninth street from
