But Full Extent of Sicily Disaster Cannot
Yet be Told.

London, Sept. 3d. A special dis
patch from Rome, after confirming the
reports that Stromboli has been in
full eruption for some time says:
"The night scene was grand but terri
flying; lava streamed down the noun
tain sides seward, while huge boulders
were falling into the sea fully ~
miles from the shore.
"The director of the observatory at
Mount Aetna says there has been no
earthquake in Sicily, but that probably
there had been a submarine eruption
between Stromboli and Sicily.
"One hundred and fifty corpses have
been recovedred at Modica. Hundreds
of victims were drowned in the open
country"
The whole country about Mount
Aetna has suffered greatly. Mount
Aetna is sending up thick column of
steam from the vicinity of the scene of
the eruption of 1892. Two fresh craters
have opened on Stromboli since Sep
tember IA.

NO MORE RESERVE
SECRETARY SHAW MAKES ANOTHER
IMPORTANT MOVE.
National Banks will Not Have to Carry a
Reserve Against Deposits Secured by
Bonds-Action will Place $4,000, 900
in Circulation-Secretary Has Favored
Move Since He Took Charge.

New York, Oct. l. Secretary of
the Treasury Shaw, who was in New
York yesterday, issued statement in
which he says the banks hereafter will
not be required to carry a reserve
against government deposits secured
by government bonds. This will make
available today ever $50, 900, 900. Sec
letary Shaw declined to discuss the
financial situation further than to say
that the treasury department would
cooperate as far as possible with the
banks in their effort to supply the
necessary credit to do the unprecedent-
ed amount of business that is taxing
railroads and steamship lines, as we'll
as banks, to the utmost.
Mr.. Shaw said he had never seen
any good reason why banks holding
government deposit secured by govern
ment bonds should be required to carry
a reserve against it. First, it is a de.
posit not likely to be called in a time
of stringency, and second, il called, the
collateral will always sell for cash in
excess of the deposit. He has, since he
took charge OF the treasury, contem-
plated relieving the banks of this burd-
en-. The controller of the currency
agrees with the secretary, and therefor
it is announced that hereafter banks
will not be required to carry a reserve
against government deposits secured by
government bonds. The treasury has
on deposit with various banks scattered
throughout the country, in round num-
bers, $3.50, 900, 900, against which the
banks have heretofore been compelled
to hold more than $50, 100000 of gold
or its equivalent.

LONG PENSION LIST.
Report of Commissioner Shows Net Gain
of 5,732 Pensioners Last Year.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The annual re-
port of the commissioner of pensions,
Eugene E. Ware, shows that the mum
ber of names on the pension rolls L.
still under the l 900, 900 mark, despite
net gain of 5,732 pensioners since
1898. The total enrolment July last
was 500, ,446, against 1897 7s5 last year.
The total comprises 7S8, 800 soldiers
and 260,637 widows and dependents
The aggregate includes 1895 pensioners
outside of the United States.
The number of death notices of old
soldiers, not now in the service, re-
ceived by the bureau during the year
was so, 1873; but only 27,043 of them
were pensioners.
The report says that the death rate
among the pensioners for the coming
year will be about 10000, and the
losses to the rolls from other causes
will be about 6 600.
The total amount paid for pensions
during the fiscal year was $l37 ,504,-
26S. and the yearly cost of operating
and maintaining the bureau and the
agencies, outside of the payment OF
pensions proper, aggregate $3, ,529.

GROWERS HOLD BACK.
Expected Advance In Price of Hops Re-
suits in but Few Sales.

Portland, Oct. 1.-The hop market
has opened strong, with prospects of
some big sales this week, though grow
ers are not yet letting go very freely.
Most of them are in position to hold,
and as they expect better prices they
are slow to consider dealers offers.
Many growers look for the market to
go to 25 cents, and not few expect to
receive 80 cents for the portion of their
crop they did not contract for earlier in
the season. Dealers decline to rame
higher figures, saying that brewers III
the East are heavily stocked, many
having enough hops to last them for a
year.
A NUN Der OF small sales are being
made at rs cents. Receipts are in
creasing daily, and will be heavy by
the last of the week, and baling will
then be practically at an end.
1t is now estimated that the crop of
Washington will fall short about 5000
bales from the first estimate, which
will leave the states product some
where about 5000 bales. The hop
cr'p in the Yakima valley is reported
to be short OF last years output fully
10 per cent. In some yards there will
be but half a crop, in others a full
crop, and in the majority less than the
usual production.

ROOT MAY RESIGN.
Secretary of War Desires to Return to
Practice of Law.


Washington, Oct. 1.-Secretary Root
is to resign, according to a statement
published here. According to the
rumor the resignation is not to take
place until some time next spring,
when Secretary Root hopes to have the
many reforms he has originated as
secretary of war certain of being car
ried to a successful consummation.
Among these are the general staff bill,
which is not likely to pass at the short
session, and the bill to reorganize the
militia, which may become a law.
With the practical settlement of affairs
in the Philippines, and Cuban recip-
rocity adopted by congress, which will
probably result in keeping Cuba paci-
fed, and the reforms Secretary Root
has inaugurated in the war department
thoroughly established. the great work
which he has selected to do will in
measure he accomplished. If he resigns
it will only be when there is straight
course ahead for the war department,
as President Roosevelt would not be
very likely to part with him under any
other circumstances. He is one of the
strongest men in the cabinet, and prob
ably the closest to the president.
Secretary Root entered the cabinet at
great personal loss. AS a lawyer of
ability, he had an enormous practice in
New York. His old associates and EN-.
ployes are anxious for him to resume
his former work, and this is given as
the main reason why he intends to re-
sign,

IRRIGATION MONEY
EIGHT MILLIONS NOW AVAILABLE FOR
GOVERNMENT PROJECTS.
Start Will be Made i'm Number of Places
i'm the Spring Funds Now on Hand
Systems COmplete-No Contracts Will
be Let Until Cash is on Hand.

Washington, Oct. 2.-There is today
in the treasury between 81 500, 900 and
IS, 200, 900, which, under the act of the
last session of congress, is to constitute
the reclamation fund, and which is
now available for expenditure ON such
irrigation projects as will be selected
by the secretary of the interior next
spring for construction. About $3,-
900 900 of this was derived from the net
revenue from the sale and disposition
of public lands in the fiscal year 1901,
and about 4,500,000 as the net reve-
nue. for the last fi>cal year. The gross
revenues for the past year exceed those
of any preceding fiscal year, amount
ing to about Sc, 200, 900. The fund is
made up not only from fees and COM
missions, but fines and folfeitures for
abuses of public land laws. The de-
duction of total expenditures for MAIN
tanning the public land service, together
with the allowances for agricultural
colleges, leaves the amount stated.
Department officials are highly graf
fi.d to find over 81 ,O00, 900 more than
was contemplated with which to begin
work on irrigation systems next year.
This total will build at least ten pro-
jects of medium size and probably
more, depending upon cost. No work
is to be undertaken to cost more than
the amount available in the reclama-
tion fund at the time contracts are let.

CITY is WITHOUT COAL.
People in New York are Now Tearing Up
Sidewalks for Fuel.

New York, Oct. 2. - Not a ton OF
| anthracite coal can be had here at any
price, says Rochester. N. Y, dispatch
to the Times. Sidewalk inspectors
report that in the outlying districts
residents are tearing up the sidewalks
and using them for fuel. Altogether
several miles of plank walks have been
pried up with crowbars and carried off.
In some sections, canal brids es have
been stripped of planking. Piles of
new lumber left on the streets for re-
pairs also have disappeared.
Hospitals of New York city are
threatened with being seriously affect
ed by the scarcity of coal. The J.
Hood Wright hospital has only enough
to last this week, while St. Luke's was
so fortunate as to obtain cargo of 24O
tons about week ago-enough to last
tao months. St. Mafy's hospital for
children has practically no supply of
steam coal, and is using furnace coal,
of whiyh it has about 25 tons. This
condition prevails at many other in
stitutions.
1t was said at the Office of the chari-
ties department that no real distress
has been experienced in any of the
city's charitable institutions.
The price of anthracite has reached
$21, but some retailers are peddling
out their small supply at $15 or SIG
to old customers. Importation of
Welsh anthracite and Fren,h bitumin-
GUS can in no way relieve the situation,
for the few cargoes that have been
landed are of little account. There are
only about 5000 tons of this coal now
on the way, but orders have been placed
this week for over $4,000 tons. At
least month is required, however, to
fill the orders. The cost of importing
Welsh coal under normal conditions is
about 81

Large Amount OF Cash.
New York, Sept. 80. - James B.
Craft, a wealthy resident of Glen Cove,
l.. l., was murdered, and his body de-
capitated, in a tenderloin resort within
few doors of Broad way. All the evil
dence goes to show that Craft, who had
been making the rounds of the tender
loln, incautiously displayed large
amount of money and was killed for
the purpose of robbery. The police
also say that Knockout drops were
flrst administered, and that then the
victim was dragged into the basement
and killed with cleaver.
The odor OF burning flesh attracted
the attention of the occupants of the
upper part of the house and led to the
discovery by the detectives of the head
less body of a man in the basement.
The eharred head was discovered few
minutes later in the furnace, in which
fire had recently been made with the
evident intention of destroying all pos
sibility OF Identification of the RENAME.
Later the body was identified by
Walter Craft, of Glen Cove, as that of
his father. The murdered man was
about 81 years of age and was manu-
facturer of refrigerating machinery in

First Skirmish in Snyder Case Results In

First Skirmish in Snyder Case Results In
Victory for Prosecution.
St. Louis, Oct. 1.-The first days
proceedings in the trial of Robert M.
Snyder, the banker and promoter, of
Kansas City and New York, on charges
of bribery in connection with the pas
sage of the Central Traction bill several
years ago, ended in complete victory
for the state, every objection offered
by the defense being overruled by Judge
Ryan. Snyder was arraigned, but re-
fused to plead, and the court ordered
the clerk to enter plea of not guilty.
Tomorrow the selection of a jury will
begin. 1t will then devolve upon the
state to prove that the defendant is
not resident of Missouri. The statute
OF limitations, which has sheltered all
the officials who took part in the deal,
is the legal loophole through which
snyder's attorneys hope to pull him to
liberty.
