TERRIBLE SUFFERING
Results from the Recent Volcanic Dis
turbances in Japan.

Victoria, Il. c., June 4.-News has
been received from the Orient that, be-
cause of panic at Tolyima in the Loo
chOo island, as a result of the volcanic
outbreak the japanese government has
sent "a ship to the island to end ~ as
sistance to the islanders. The COVER
nor Of Loochoo has as advised the resi-
dents numbering 600 to emigrate to a
safer place, but they refused to do so.
until the present outbreak occurred.
The Uskud Ulko volcano in Iburi
province also has shown signs of ac-
tivity.
Advices from Manila tell of a dis
graceful act of vandalism on the part
of the visitors to the recently hoate d
Spanish cruiser Reina Christina, sunk
by Admiral Dewey, in the surreptitious
removal of bones of dead SpaniardS for
relics. The ChriStiana was thought to
have had some 100000 in gold aboard
but it was not found. The gunboat
NelaScO, which was raised. was found
to have been sunk by her own crew
who had opened the bilge cock.
The Nironku says that, with a view
to increasing Japanese influence in
Korea. the Japanese minister at Seoul
in connection with the British minister
is going to obtain the consent of the
Korean government to plan whereby
Korea shall undertake the extension of
her army and navy and the stronghold
ing of defences on the international
boundary, Great Britain or Japan to
supply n loan if needed for this pur-
pose.
The Universal Gazette of Shanghai,
publishes from Karin a dispatch stat
ing that an American engineed, armed
with passport from the United States

at Karin, who pronounced his passport
useless. He had gone to Karin to eX-
anime some mines for Il company.

KILLED BEFORE HIS BRIDE.
An Ohio Professor Shot in Struggle
With Supposed House Robber.

Wooster, Ohio, June 4.-Professor
John f. Hicks, assistant botanist of the
Ohio experiment station here, was shot
and killed yesterday in the view of his
fiance, Miss Mary Gill. A discarded
sutton of Miss Gill, who had disappear
ed, is suspected. Professor Hicks had
spent the evening with Miss Gill and
expected to leave Wooster on a /: 26 a.
IN. for Cleveland. At midnight he saw
q man lurking under one of the Win
doWs. He started in pursuit, but fail
ed to catch the man. Miss Gill per-
suaded him to remain with her until
train time. and a few minutes before
l o'clock Mr.. Hicks again saw the same
man, who ran swiftly away. While
making a careful search of the premises
Hicks ran onto the fellow, who was at
tempting to hide. Believing an at
tempt was made to rob the house, Hicks
started toward the prowler, who ran in
to the middle of the street, with Hicks
in close pursuit. The professor struck
him with his fist and knocked him
down. A scuttle followed, both men
fighting desperately, and the stranger
shot Hicks in the groin. His assailant
at once disappeared. Mr.. Hicks was
hurried to the hospital, where he died
at 5:45 o'clock this morning. Blood
hounds We're unable to track the MUIR
derer owing to the heavy rain.
A young man who had been very
persistent in his attentions to Miss
Gill is under suspicion. Another the
ory is that Professor Hicks, who re-
signed his position here two days ago
to accept the secretaryship of the
Standard Water Purifying Company
of Cleveland, had made an enemy by
revealing certain alleged misappropria-
lions of the funds of the company.
Professor Hicks was thirty years of age
and came here from St Louis. His
ilarents reside in HiclzsTil La.
