MADISON SOUTH DAKOTA, WEDNESDAY,. APRIL 1t,
.ELECTiuHS Iu:.,:E A UEiSIS
COUNT WITTE ik3iSTS ON RE.
TlREMEnT or MINISTER DUR
NOVc C9 HIMSELF.

st. Petersburg, April 11-That the
result of tie elections has precipi-
tated crisis involving the1mmediate
downfall of Premier Witte or Interior
Minister Durnoyo seems absolutely
confirmed. The former spent over
two hours with the emperor during
the evening, reviewing the situation
and pointing out how impossible it
would be for the government to defend
itself before a hostile parliament with
M. Durnovo in the cabinet.
The emperor. as usual in such a
crisis, Is vaecilating. Irrespective Of
his personal feelings towards the pre-
mier he desires Count Witte to re-
main in power, yet he hesitates TO
dismiss Durnovo. whom he praises as
having saved Russia from a revolution.
General Trepoff and General Count
Ignatieff, the most prominent Of the
reactionary' courtiers, are constantly
singing Durnovo's praises.
AS showing how strained are the re-
lations between the premier and the
interior minister it is pointed out
that M. Durnovo has not attended a
cabinet meeting for almost month.
Count Witte has cleverly seized the
moment to force an Issue between
himself and his rival when, in addi-
ton to the verdict of the people at
the polls against the governments re
pressive policy, the question of the big
foreign loan hangs In the balance.
Count Witte realizes fully that much
of the confidence in Russia's solvency
among fnanciers abroad is due to the
fact that he is at the helm and that
If he goes the chances of the loan van

Naples, April 1.-THE weather sud

ANTHRACITE OPERATORS AGREE

MISSION OF 1902 TO SETTLE
THE DIFFERENCES.

New York, April IA counter
proposition was made by the anthra-
cite coal operators at their meeting
during the day with the representa-
tives of the United Mine Workers of
America This proposition rejects the
arbitration plan offered by John Nit
chell, president of the United Mine
Workers, and suggests the following
instead:
THE anthracite coal strike commits
sion of 1902 should be requested to
reconvene and consider whether any
circumstances have arisen since April
/, 1903, which would justify modifica-
ton of its award of that date in re.

"First-Wages.
"Second-As to adjustment of com
plants through the conciliation board
or otherwise.
"Any new award of the commission
shall be binding for a period of three
years"

an hour, to meet again on Thursday at
1870 p. m.
Bitter Letter From Independents.
At the close of the meeting copy
of letter from independent oper-
ators, who held meeting at Wakes
barre Monday, to the operators COM
mittee was made public. This letter
exposed the conviction of the inde-
pendent operators that any agreement
to arbitrate with the United Mine
Workers would be an unjustifiable sur
render to anarchy and mob violence.
The letter contained the following:
I'VE contend that 1t would be better
that our mines shall lie idle for years
than that we shall accede to the high
waymanlike demands of an organiza-
ton that lacks either the wish or the
ability to restrain its members from
acts of violence that would disgrace
the much despised Russia"
The Independents wrote that II the
operators committee could decide, III
Difference to public opinion. upon some
offer of arbitration that arbitration
should be by the same body that met
in 1902 and 1903 and that there should
be no submission of questions already
adjudicated, like the closed shop, col
lection of dues or the suggestion OF
any term less than five years during
which the award shall be binding. The
independents also suggested that any
increase in the cost of production
should be added at once to the market
price of coal.

HUGE BUILDING COLLAPSES UN-

MOUNT VESUVIUS.
TWO HUNDRED PERSONS IN THE RUINS
CONSIDERABLE LOSS OF LIFE RE.
PORTED IN VILLAGES I'M VI
cINITY OF CRATER.

Naples, April IA frightful dis
aster has occurred in the center of
this city, following the eruptions of
Mount Vesuvius. Two hundred peo-
pie, it is estimated, were buried in the
ruins of the Monte Oliveto market
when the roof collapsed under the
weight Of cinders from the volcano.
The exact number of people within
the building at the moment of the
catastrophe is not known and the list
OF fatalities is problematical.
The disaster was appalling. The
courtyard covers 600 feet square and
was rooted. The space within was
unusually crowded with buyers and
their children, the accident happening
at the hour of the day when trade is
most brisk. Suddenly, with scarcely a
tremor of warning, there was terri
flying crash, while shrieks of agony
rent the air.
The work Of rescue progressed DUR
ing the morning hours and before noon
II bodies had been recovered and IT'S
injured persons extricated from the
ruins.
The identification of the bodies of
q number of those killed by the col
lapse of the market roof has been
found to be impossible owing to their
being absolutely unrecognizabis, in
some cases being reduced to pulp,
while others were horribly mutilated.
Among the dead are many children,
who had been sent by their parents to
do the mornings marketing, and the
grief of the parents as the bodies OF
their children were found was heart
rending. The market itself is mass
OF ruins.

cred In Three Towns.
Naples, April 1l.-All efforts on the
part of the press Representatives and
the authorities to ascertain the exact
number of those who have already
fallen victims to the eruptions Of
Vesuvius have so far failed.
This Is accounted for from the fact
that the buried villages are impossible
of access and further because the peo-
pie who fed when their homes began
to fall have scattered throughout the
country districts.
The finding of ninety-six bodies Is
determined as follows: At San Guis-
eppe 40, at Terzigno 20, at Ottajano 27.
The scenes at Ottajano when the
first victims were unearthed there
were most terrible. The positions Of
the bodies showed that the victims
had died while in state Of great ter
ror, the faces being convulsed with
fear. Forty-nine bodies have already
been taken out Of one Of the churches
at Ottajano.

Boston. April 1.-THE storm which
broke over New England during the
night developed into unusual intensity
for an April disturbance and caused
damage to telephone, telegraph and

some of the suburbs. Hail and then a
steady downpour of rain followed. ac
companied by gale which was severe

panic among the children, who expect
ed to be buried in the ashes from the
volcano, and they fed in all directions

have not since been heard of. Search

in spite of continuous shouting and
calling no trace was found of them
and it is feared that the children have
been smothered in the ashes.

A Matter OF Nose.

In spite of the important place given
to the nose as an index of character,
there is but little to be learned from 1t
In estimating the causes of an innate
bond between the mind and the fea-
lures. Most Of the correspondence
which have been remarked appear to
be of a radical order, but why Roman
nose first became associated with a
warIike and domineering disposition or
how a long and thin nose became linked
with business prudence is more than |
can say. If we omit the changes
which take place in nose during the
lifetime of its possessor, there is scarce
ly nasal popularity of value to the
physiognomist which at the same time
is cosmopolitan. No Tartar or Hotten-
tot, however warlike, could give proof
of it in this way. Japan has shown
that she possesses plenty Of men with
military aptitude, but no Wellingtonian
nose can be found within her borders.
Again, no Chinese nose is long and
thin, yet John is not without certain
aptitude at driving bargains.-Black-
woods Magazine.

Two Monster Beetles.

The largest bug known to the old
world entomologists Is the gigantic
Goliath beetle, which Is found along
the Kongo river in Africa. Goliath is
upward of six inches in length from
the tip of his nose to the neither end
of his hard shelled body and has q
pair of gauzy wings folded up under
his arms, either Of which is as large
as q lady's face veil. But Goliath is a
pygmy when compared with the ele-
plant beetle of Venezuela, an entomo-
logical giant which weighs nearly q
pound and which has wing spread
equal to that of a mallard duck. Both
of these bugs are rare.

The papyrus used by the ancient
Egyptians was made from the stems
of a peculiar water reed growing in all
parts of Egypt. The outside layer of
the plant was removed, and beneath
this there were found number Of lay
ers of a delicate, pithy membrane.
These, being separated, were placed in
layers. A second layer was laid at
right angles to and above the first and
sometimes a third over the second.
Heavy pressure was then applied, and
the layers were firmly cemented into a
fair article of paper. No gum other
than what was contained in the plant
itself was used in the process. The
papyrus was very much stronger than
the average paper made by the mod
ern machines. The sheets were com
monty made from six to twelve inches
square.

The Egyptians, according to the sage
Apollodorus, credit their Hermes or
Mercury with the invention Of music
under the following circumstances:
The Nile, having overlooked it's banks
and inundated nearly all of Egypt, on
it's return to it's banks left on its
shores various dead animals and
among the rest tortoise, the flesh
having dried and wasted in the sun
until nothing remained in the shell but
cartilages. These, being frightened by
the drying heat, became sonorous.
Mercury, walking along the banks Of
the river, happened to strike his foot
against this shell, was so pleased with
the sound produced that the idea of
the Tyre suggested itself, and he con-
structed a Tyre of the shell Of large
tortoise, which he strung with the
sinews of dead animals. Dryden
wrote:
Less than god they thought there could
not dwell
Within the hollow Of that shell
| That spoke so sweetly.
