Mattucci's View of Vesuvius.

Mattucci's View of Vesuvius.
What Professor Mattucci, director of
the royal observatory near the crater
of Vesuvius, saw of the recent violent
activity of that great earth chimney
has now been made known in an au
thorized interview for the press. For
three days he and his assistants were
cut off from all communication with
the rest of the world, while their very
existence was In constant peril from
lava streams or falling stones. The
professor said that he observed un
usual signs of activity month before,
when lava began to flow. Finally the
small streams. which emerged from
the lower strata, were augmented by
the great flow from the summit. The
cinders formed an enormous cloud in
the shape Of a pine tree over the crater.
At 8 a. M, April g. an explosion oc
Cured. rending a great hole in the
cone and causing huge solid rocks to
be hurled skyward. The stones were
solid and bulletlil1e, and some Of them
fell on the observatory building. All
that day and the next there We're ter
rife earthquake shocks and repeated
explosions. The darkness was broken
by lurid flashes of lightning, which
gave the sky a bloodlike color, and
these, alternating with heavy peals of
thunder, made the scene a veritable
hell. Instead of the gigantic and jag
ged cone the top of the mountain now
forms a graceful curve, harmonizing
with the graceful slope of the foot
hills. In the sunlight the surface
stands out white as snow on account
of the ashes that have fallen. Here
and there narrow black gulches have
been torn, through which the redhot
lava courses. Professor Perret, an
American scientist, shared the oppor
tunities of observation with Mattucci
having been appointed assistant by the
University of Naples.

Small Policy Holders Who Quit.

Small Policy Holders Who Quit.
The Equitable Life has made an in
vestigation showing that the probing
of life insurance concerns resulted in
the lapse Of 1885 policies for $1,000 or
under, while only one policy for $780,
900 was allowed to lapse. President
Morton expresses the belief that the
small policy holder was the chief suf-
ferer from the agitation regarding life
insurance.
Treasury Aids Gold Imports.
Secretary Shaw has put into opera
ton a new plan for facilitating impor-
tation of gold. 1t is to provide those
banks which engage gold imports with
treasury gold to the amount of their
importations, the gold being loaned for
the period between the engagement and
arrival of it's imported article. This is
on the theory that bankers hesitated
to import gold because of the loss of
interest during transit.

by congress, without red tape as to its
expenditure, the total of cashed in SYM
pathy already ranges into tens of mill
lions, while many special trains loaded
with supplies have been sent to the
stricken area where over 100000 peo-
pie were homeless and destitute. The
war and navy departments were CO.
operat ting with tents and stores.
By the third day the confagration,
which had destroyed three-fourths of
the Gate City, was reported under con-
troll by General Funston, whose troops
from the Preside had served nobly
with fremen and volunteers in keeping
the panic stricken population in some
semblance of reason and order, while
vigorously depressing looters. Rich and
poor mingled in this class leveling ca
lamity, working to care for the injured
and helpless and to bury the dead.
The exact number of dead will never
be known, but it may run into thou
sands. The property loss is equally
difficult to estimate. 1t may reach
$500, 100000 considering changed val
ues and delays in resumption of indus
try and business.
What makes this disaster far worse
than any ordinary city burning is the
havoc played with the water, lighting
and conduit systems
Santa Rosa, a city of 10000, San
Jose and a dozen smaller places suf-
fered a similar conjunction Of shock
and fire. and Stanford university's
beautiful buildings at Palo Alto are in
virtual ruins.
Scientists generally agree that the
seismic disturbance which in three
minutes caused all this loss and suf-
fering was due to the gradual cooling
Of the earth's crust. The culver passed
to the Atlantic coast in seventeen min
utes
Already, stimulated by the great
wave Of popular sympathy and aid, the
splendid genius and pluck of the strick-
en- community has projected new, a
stronger and a more beautiful city of
steel frames and ballasted foundations.

Troops Out to Save Negroes.
Only the prompt sending of six COM
panies of militia to Springfield, Mo-
by Governor Folk rendered life safe
for the negro residents after frenzied
mob had lynched three negroes for
crimes of which there was reasonable
doubt Of their guilt. In storming the
Jail to get at the accused negroes the
mob battered down the doors and al
lowed fourteen other prisoners to eS-
cape. The first two negroes, Cocker ana
Duncan, were charged with ansassault
on woman, which was the immediate
cause Of the mob's gathering. The
third, Will Allen, was one OF tw0

The mob did not ask or receive eyi~
dence to substantiate either charge Ale

that he would put the dagger into a

The written answer of the anthracite
operators committee rejects the modi-
fed proposition of the miners, mostly
on the, ground that they concern princi-
pies of management which are vital to
the success Of the business and which
have already been settled by the strike
commission. The operators insist that
no reason is advanced for retrial of
these issues. They argue that the
miners would restrict production,
would equalize wages without regard
to the capacity Of the men, inject arbi-
tration into matters of detail and make
the employers the agents of the union
They repeat that they are willing to
submit the question of wages and com
plants to the strike commission and
end by saying, eve have nothing fur

opening mines in various sections by
employing strike breakers.
The executive committee of the Rock

announced that the present suspension
will be regarded by them as a strike
