SOCIALISTS PoLANp's TERROR.
League of Assassins Rules industries,
Threatening Financial Ruin.

Warsaw, Poland, March 9.-NO.
where throughout the length and
breadth Of the ears empire has ter.
rorism reached such a pitch is in Rus,
sian Poland, where human life is no
longer safe, whore ruftians and hooli-
Gans have gained the upper hand of
the quiet citizen, and where fnan.
.cial ruin, the sure consequence OF
anarchism, now threatens the inhabi.
tants.
In Poland bomb throwing is of daily
occurrence; policemen are assassinat-
ed in broad daylight and in crowded
streets. Manufacturers and other la
Dor employers are forced to accede to
,heir mems e~Xtravagant demands by
crowds of armed rufiians whom the
men call to their aid at every crisis.
II an employer declines to be bullied
he Is killed by some mysterious bull
let. II he closes his factory he must
flee from the country with all speed,
otherwise assassination to sure to
overtake him. In a word, Poland to-
da! represents such a picture of ter
rorism as the world has not seer
since the horrors OF the French revo.
luton over 100 years ago. The per.
petrators Of these crimes, the makers
or all this trouble, are. OF course, the
socialists, and, in Poland at least. that
party OF socialists commonly known
as the "bund."

though all of those persons belonging

in the fear that bodies OF strangers
are under the ruins.

DER LOAD OF ASHES.

Flow Of Lava From the Volcano
Which HAD Almost Ceased Recon-
mences and Work of Devastation
Goes On.
Naples, April 11.-When morning
broke the outlook vas promising Tor
an ameliOration of the conditions con-
seuuent upon the activity of Mount
Nesuvius. The hopofulness OF the
populace, however, was short lived,
and the Neapolitans were plunged In
to a condition bordering on frenzy by
the collapse of the Mount Oliveto mar
ket. which covered a plot of ground
600 feet square, the st ucture falling
upon 200 or more persons, many or
whom were crushed and mangled be-
yond recognition. The scenes in the
vicinity of the ruins were agonizing,
relatives of the victims clamorjng TO
be allowed to 20 to their dead Or dy-
ing.
The number of dead taken from the
church at San Giuseppe. which col
lapsed while a congregation OF about
200 persons were attending mass, Is
1l5. There were seventy-nine injured.
1t is reported that 500 persons have
persisted in the district between OF
tajano and San Giuseppe.
Search is being made of the houses
at Ottajano, where fifty corpses have
already been found. It is believed
that there are still many to be re-
covered.
The flow OF lava from the volcano,
which had almost ceased during the
night, recommended early in the day,
and the fall OF volcanic ejecta in the
Vesuvius communes has been enor-
nous. 1t is feared that the weight of
ashes on roofs will cause the collapse
OF many more buildings, both here
and in the towns and villages nearer
the volcano.
The fate of the villages and towns
around the volcano seems more hope
less. Even with the sun shining high
in the heavens the light was a dim
yellow, in the midst of which the few
people who remained in the stricken
ltowns, their clothing, hair and boards
covered with ashes, moved about in
the awful stiffness of desolation like
gray ghosts. The case of Tore del
Greco is typical. For thirty hours
the place has been practically de.
serted, but amid the ruin and semi.
darkness, illuminated from time to
time by vivid flashes of lightning, a
few of the inhabitants 60 about hun
cry and with Threats parched with
smoke and dust, seemingly unable to
tear themselves away from the ruins
of what so recently were their homes.
Communication by rail or tramway
with Tore del Greco and Tore An.
nunziata is impossible, owing to the
cinders, sand and ash deposits.

CABRERA'S RULE IS
 REIGN OF TERROR
REPORT SAYS UNITED STATES HAS SENT MILITARY AGENT INTO GUATEMALA TO STUDY MILITARY POSITION.

Mexico City, Jlne 19.--General Barllas confirms the.resport of the burning of his coffee estates by order of President Ca brera in revenge for Barillas taking part in the revolution. The policy of Cabrera is said to be to punish with confscation the estates of all participants in the revo- lution who have property in the country.
 President Cabrera appears to have prac- tcally censored the news coming out of that country which accounts for the scarcity of details of recent engagements. Some news comes through privately, and one report is that the United States gov ernment has sent a military agent into Guatemala to study the military position and report
 It is rumored that Colonel Pineda will soon emerge on the scene of conflict with several thousand Indians who are determ- ined to avenge themselves for ill-treat- ment and disregard of their rights by Cabrera's government.
 Canadian who has been In central America reports that Cabrera has shot five of his acquaintances on political grounds, and that his rule is ver1taple reign of terror.

HUNTING PLAN TO
 STOP LOOPHOLES
Conaress Would Prevent Repetition of the Immunity" Cases of Beef
 Packers In Chicago.

Washington, June 19.-The recent failure to convict the beef packers in Chicago of conspiracy under the interstate com- merce law because of the claim of immun- ity set up by them. and sustained by the court, has given Congress no end of anx- ious moments with q view of enacting some law that will remedy the defects from which the government suffered by reason of Judge Humphreys decision.
 The Senate passed bil lon the subject which the House today also passed insti- tuting an entire new bill after the enact- ing clause. It will now go into conference.
 Referring to the criticism that has been heaped upon Judge Humphrey because of the decision. MT. Littlehed of Maine. in charge of the bill, said there was jus- tification for the decision under the un- certainty that exists as to the law on the subject of immunity granted witnesses under the interstate commerce law, and the law creating the department of com merce and labor. The House bill followed the lines laid down by Attorney General Moody at that case.

Still Claims He Would Be Betrayinu Professional Secrets If He
 Should Talk.

Washington, June 19--In defiance of the order of the Senate committee on inter- oceanic canals that he answer certain questions propounded to him In the in- vestigation of the Isthmian canal af- fairs, William Nelson Cromwell repeated him refusals today. He stated that the questions involved confidential relations with his client, the new Panama Canal company.
 The questions were read to him by Sen ator Morgan and when the first one was asked. which concerned the first work he did for the Panama Canal company in America the witness calmly took from his pocket a brief prepared statement which he proceeded to read. He stated that his knowledge of the subject under discussion was derived Tn the course of his professional employment and that he must decline to disclose the interests of his employer concerning any private bus mess matters. In refusing he said that he did so with the profoundest respect for the committee.
 After going over the previous record for some length in order to give the witness another opportunity to answer the committee adjourned until next Tues day without having concluded the record.

 DOLLARS MELTED
SOUTH AND WEST OBJECT TO TURNING ABRADED AND UNCUR- RENT SILVER DOLLARS INTO SUBSIDIARY COIN.

Washington, June 19 19ADecided opposi- ton sprung up in the House today to the bill providing for the recoinage of abraded and uncurrent silver dollars into subsd- iary coin, representatives from the south ern and western states insisting that the bill meant the contraction of the S. yer in circulation. MT. Clark of Missouri ed the fight against the bill on the ground that it was a scheme to contract the cur rency.
 The bill provides that not more than five millions of abraded current silver dollars may be coined into dimes. quarters and halves. This Mir Clark said meant eventually the complete retirement of the silver dollar.
 MT. Southard of Ohio in charge of the bill insisted that two propositions were before Congress, either to purchase bull lion for the coinage of fractional cur rency or else use the abraded silver dol lars that were withdrawn from circula- tion on account of abrading.
 MT. Clark said if he was Secretary of the Treasury he would have all the silver dollars piled up in the treasury vaults dn circulation. a statement which the dem ocrats loudly applauded. Two-thirds not having voted for the bill, it failed of passage. The vote stood 115 to 9O

St. Petersburg, June 19.-The election of the agrarian commission of ninety-nne to- day initiates the second stage of agra rian legislation in the lower house of Parliament, but the unwieldy size of the commission and the reservation of eight places for members who have not yet arrived. gives slight prospect of speedy presentation of a draft of a law.
