Great Minstrels.

Barlow & Wilson's idea of min
streisy is that it must retain all
the picturesqueness of the planta-
ton; must exceed in novelty any
thing known in vaudeville; must de-
light the eye by the beauty of its
stage environments; must suprlse
and please the mind by the abso-
lutte novelty of its special features
and the spectacular character Of its
finale. Such would be minstrelsy
and such is the minstrelsy they
produce, and which leaves no dis
appointed person in any of the
large audiences that gather to hear
these pioneers of modern minstrel
sy each season. The grand spec
tacular and gorgeous production
Of up-to-date minstreIsy will be the

IA TERRIBLE
 EARTHQUAKE Lives Lost and Property
 Destroyed.
 --s-- AN ITALIAN VISITATION 370 Persons Believed to Have
 Been Killed. Calamity in Southern Part of Ceantry Causes sorrowful Derression to
 Pervade the Entire

Rome. Sept. s.--All Italy is su6sr- ing from terrible depression because of the news from the south. where one Of the worst earthquakes ever experienced occurred today. Although the earth quake was felt all over Calabria and to & certain extent in Sicily. the worst news comes from Pizzo and Monte Leone and from eighteen villages which are said to have been completely destroyed. According to the latest news received, S7o persons havo been killed and a great number injured. It Is as yet impossible to even estimate the property losses.
 The shock was felt at 2:B5 o'clock this morning. It lasted for eighteen seconds at Cantanzaro and soon thereafter was felt at Messtna, Reggie, Monte Leoues Martirano. Stefaconi. Piscopio, Triparni, Zammaro. Cessaniti. Naidi, oltvadi and other points. z
 Scenes of indescribable terror ensued. Women aroused from their sleep rushed half clothed into the streets. acreaxn~ ing with fear, carrying their habsAs, dragging their other children and call- ing for help on the Madonna and the saints. The men escaped into the open with their families. all calling on their favorite saints for protection. Tho cafes were taken by assault by the strangely garbed crowd, but after day- light broke without repetition of the earthquake the crowd gradually melted away until by o'clock the streets had almost assumed their normal appear ance, except in the ruined villages where the inhabitants had no homes to go to.
 The general confusion was added to by dreadful cries from ths jaiis, where the prisoners were beside themselves with fright and in some cases mntanied, but fortunately all were kept within bounds.
 Troops. engineers and doctors have been hurried to the scenes Of the dis aster to assist in the work of rescue and salvage. The Ministry of the In terior sent S4,000 for the relief of the destitute and the MiDister of Public works. Ferraris. left for Caiabria this evening

TANNER ELECTED.
New Yorker COmmander-In-ChIe of the
 q R


 Denver, Col, Sept. s.--Intense inter est was manifested in the election of officers of the Grand Army of the Re public and its women auxiliaries set for today in the various conventions. Keen rivalry has developed between the candidates for some of the offices and active canvassing for votes has been going on all week.
 For the ofice of Commander-in-Ch Chief there has been a spirited contest, the leading candidates being Corporal Jas Tanner of New York, who was elected; Gen Robert B. Brown, of Ohio; Judge C. c. Burton of Missouri and Gen. c. Burrows of New Jersey.
 Minneapolis was chosen as the G. A. R. National Encampment city in 1906. The only other city that asked for the encampment of the convention was Dallas Texas. whose offer was present. ed by J. Eaton, Manager of the Dallas 15O,OOO Club. On a viva voce vote the delegates seemed to be about equally divided between the two cities A roll call was then ordered and Minneapolis was chosen. The encampment gave vote of thanks to MT. Eaton and to the Texas organization which extended the request to meet in Texas. Commander in-Chie- King invited Mir. Eaton to go to Minneapolis next year and repeat the invitation. promising to use his infu- ence to secure the national encampment for 1907 for Dallas.
 Col. Geo. W. Cook of Denver was elected Vtce-Commander.

Roosevelt Gusts Him and PInces Tenn

Oyster Bay. Sept. S.-President Roose- welt this afternoon took summary &C., tion in the case \of Frank W. Palmer, public printer and head of the govern ment printing office at Washington, by removing him from office. s....
 Last Monday the President directed MT. Palmer to send him his resignation to take effect on the 18th inst. At the same time he directed him not to take any further action in the cases of Oscar J. Ricketts. foreman of printing, and L. c. Hay, division foreman in the government printing office, whose resignations MT. Palmer had requested. MT Palmer had given Ricketts and Hay until Tuesday to show cause in writing why the charges he had made against them should not become operative in removing them from their positions in the event of their failure to resign.
 In direct disobedience of the Presi- dents instruction Mir. Palmer on the 5th instant notified Ricketts and Hay that the time which they might have in which to answer his charges would be extended to Saturday, the 9th instant. As this was not only violation of the Presidents specific instructions, but as the case of Ricketts and Hay had been placed in the hands of the Keep Com Hisslou 4oT InNeStiSdtlol tne HleeiuoHl felt 1t was a time to take positive action regarding MT. Palmer. He therefore removed him from office by telegraph and directed him to turn over the government printing office to Fore man Ricketts, whom he designated as acting public printer.
 It can be stated that the appoint ment of MT. Ricketts as acting public printer is not an assurance that he will succeed permanently to the offlce. The President has not determined yet whom he may appoint as the successor to Mir. Palmer. It is not unlikely that the final determination of the question may depend to considerable extent upon the result of the further investigation Into the affairs of the ofice to be made hX fha Kaan Cnrn mission

In the South the growth of spindles continue on a hand some scale, those in active mills hav- ing increased s23,1s3, and there are new mills in course of construction and additions being made to old con- cerns embracing 520,00o spindles.
 The most remarkable feature, he says, Is that up to the past year the supply Of labor has almost kept pace with the demand therefor. The shift ing of hands from the manufactory to the cotton field is an event which might naturally be expected to a greater or less extent among people of an agricultural country and Is like ly in time to more or less correct It. self; still. cotton mills cannot be oper- ated prof1tably on uncertain help and. should 1t become necessary, sharp com petition will not unlikely result for the labor of other sections.

so much for the present as for futr q protection. 4A>
 pr. Brady today reported on S cal nest of infection in Plaque S e parish, developed from New Orlea It is at Woodland. When the fev oe- gan here In July an Italian family left No. 5Sl Dumain street, in the heart of the infected quarter, and hurried to Woodland. The first child was three days later.
 No Precautions.
 No precautions were taken. No more cases appeared until August 15, but then number presented them selves, just sufficient time having elapsed for the mosquitoes which had bitten the children to infect fresh sub jects. There are three hundred peo- pie at Woodland There are three cases now and nine convalescent. One death has occurred there.
 Dr. von Ezdorf returned today from a visit to Bayou Boeuf. Lafayette, Pat terson and other points along the Southern Pacific Railway. Summarize ing. he said that the situation was steadily improving in that quarter of the State and that by continued work along sanitary and Immigration lines. with ceaseless war upon the mosquito. the disease will be further checked and finally stamped out. Dr. von Ezdorf leaves tomorrow on a trip to Bunkie and Alexandria on the Texas and Pa- cific Railroad. He will inspect con- ditions at both places.
 There is a controversy on now be- tween pr. Brady and the Bunkie board of health. Dr. Brady diagnosed the first case that appeared there. Cn a more recent visit he said there were about twenty cases in the town. The Bunkie people admit the first case and deny that any of the subsequent ones are yellow fever. Dr. Brady insists that there are even more cases than he reported. Dr. von Ezdorf has had so much practical experience on the lsthmus that his decision will proba- bly be accepted as final.
 Among the new cases today was that of Sister Felicite, in the Mount Carmel convent It Is the first case in that institution and was reported by the physicians in charge. Dr. Whites order to watch all asylums and religious institutions is looked upon to develop ali cases which may appear in them through prompter ap- peal to doctors by the authorities of the institutions in the event of sick ness.

TIE MOSLEM HATRED
FEELING IS CAUSE OF TROuBLE AT
 IIAIkU.
Strenuous Times stin Continue and Troops Arc Guarding the Consul Iates, Banks and Govern
 ment Buildings.

Baku, Sept. s.-Street, fighting con- tinued until late last night. The con- sulates, banks and Government build ings are guarded by troops.
 Balakhan was completely burned out after the Tartars had plundered 1t of everything valuable. Although shot down in masses by the artillery, the Tartars were not deterred from their work of wreckage and footing.
 Fierce fighting and great slaughter occurred at the Balakhan Hospital. where a thousand Armenians and workmen gathered. General Shirinkin sent a detachment of artillery with three guns to the scene and the com mander of the detachment summoned the crowd to surrender.
 The latter replied with volleys of stones and some shots which killed one of the gunners. The commander of the troops thereupon opened fire. The first discharge of the three guns miscarried, the shells falling into the sea. but the second discharge sent the shells crash ing into the hospital, where they ex- plodeJ. killing an immense number of men and wrecking the building. The maddened crowd charged the guns and captured them after deluging the gun ners with burning oil. The latter then fled. Cossacks and infantry reinforce ments attempted to recapture the abandoned guns, but were driven back by the suffocating smoke.

Cause of piaturhnncen.

cause or Dt8tuFhameG@.
 St. Petersburg, Sept. S.-The first and principal cause of the disorders at Baku is the Moslem hatred of the Ar menians. This feeling is of long stand ing and Is never absent. The Armen- ians have long been detested as para sites, and for several years the Russian authorities have had much difficulty in restraining the Tartars.
 The Armenians understood the situa- tion, and, aware of their danger, armed themselves. The Baku massacres in February showed how we'll they could defend themselves. This was evidenced again in the last seven days by the large number of TaFtars killed in the riotings. The Tartars, however, seem bent on exterminating the Armenians by. killing them and destroying their villages and churches. The Armenians have the upper hand in commerce and in industry fin the Caucasus. This su- periority gals the Tartars and ln- creases their hatred.
 The government continues to be se- verely criticized here for its incapacity in dealing with the Baku situation, The absence of Intelligent and ener- said to be responsible for the out break. The threatening conditions in the Caucasus have long been known. This outbreak was predicted almost to 8 day three months ago. but the gov ernment even forbade the refinery own CTS to organize private militia for the protection of their property.
 The losses are so great that they will be felt all over Russia The need of crude and refined oil will be felt in in- dustry, transportation and in every household. One of the largest oil men said today, however. that there was enough Illuminating oil in Russia for a year. but the supply of fuel oil is very short.
 Regarding the possible importation of American oil in Russia, 1t was ex- plained today that the oil used in Russia as fuel Is residue oil. of which the Rus sian crude oil. after refining, gives 70 per cent, while the American crude af- ter refining gives only 20 per cent. Therefore, American crude oil would not meet tho Russian demands. The municipal Illuminating board has adopt cd resolution to the effect that de- spite the happenings at the Baku oil fields the municipality will continue to use oil for lighting the city, and if Baku does not furnish enough, it was resolved to use American oil, despite the fact that it costs a cent more per pound than the Baku oil There are 600 oil- burning street lamps in St. Petersburg.

Washington. July Nv. II. Taft

to succeed John Hay. deceased. While
this was determined o. some days
since, 1t was because Mr. Hay had de.

secretary of war, to return to the cab

Guided not to do SO. Whether or not
this decision was due to Mr.. Root s
disinclnation to re-enter public life re

The president therefore turned to
his versatile secretary OF war. and the
indications now are that Mr.. Taft will
