No TUG FOR THIS SHIP.
Square Rigger nde Full Sail Comes UP to
Anchor on Liberty.

Anchor VII IdDerty'
Shellbacks out of commission who sat in
one of the big Office buildings facing Bat
terry Park and gazed through misty win
dows out on the leaden bay were startled
yesterday by the vision Of a squar rigger
coming up to anchorage of Liberty Island
with every stitch Of canvas set, or, as the
a~ncients themselves might say, with all
kites flying.
The old fellows rubbed their eyes n
thought of the old days when the clippers
or some Of them-sailed right into their
berths along the North or East rivers,
scorning the assistance Of tugs. They re-
called particularly the instance Of a famous
packet line that was once ~overcharged by
a tugboatman and thereafter instructed
all its shippers never more to take tugs.
The shippers followed instructions, and
some of the prettiest nan Puvring outside
Of a yacht race by some Of the smartest
vessels that ever carried stu'n'sails de-
lighted the 'longshore experts lounging on
the wharves.
The square rigger that came in yesterday
is at least a North American. She is the
Nova Scotian barkentine Golden Rod,
~twenty-four days from Santa Cruz, Cuba,
with a cargo Of mahogany and cedar. An
old time Yankee sailing master would re-
gard this trip as mighty long. But the
Golden Rod had head winds and spent some
time bucking the seas off Hatteras. She
came up the bay with fore royal set and
staysails bellying in the brisk breeze. She
crossed the bow OF the French liner La
Gasoogne, in from Havre, going to her
dock, and the Frenchman backed to let
the barkentine have the right of way, to
which, naturally, she was entitled. She
sailed plumb UP to her anchorage. To-day
q tug will assist her In docking.

AGREEMENT ON RATE BTLL.
Two Factions Of .RepubiIcan Senators Get
Together on Court Review Provision.

TWO FuctIOnS -hcpuDiichn benStOfS Uct
Together on Court Review Provision.
WASHINGTON, April "a practical agree
among the Republican Senators on the
court review provision Of the railway rate
bill. Under its terms the courts will have
authority not only to determine whet Their a
rate fixed by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission is in violation Of the Constitution,
but whether it is a lawful rate.
In return for this concession from the
radicals, the conservative Republican Sena-
tors have agreed to a provision that judicial
proceedings to determine the oonstitu-
tionality or the legality Of a fixed rate shall
be instituted only in the judicial circuit
in which the carrier has its principal office,
instead Of in any judicial circuit through
which the lines of the carrier pass.
The compromise thus virtually effected
in a victory for the conservatives, led by
Senators Aldrich, Crane, Foraker and
Knox. They nave insisted that the courts
should be empowered not only to pass upon
the constitutionality of orders issued by
the Interstate Commerce Commission and
upon the question whether the Commission
exceeded its legal authority in fixing a rate,
both of which the radicals had previously
conceded, but upon the lawfulness Of the
rate itself. Under the authority thus con-
ferred the courts will be able to review the
facts upon which the commission acted.
1t is now regarded as certain that a rate
law will be enacted at an early date.

Many Of the passengers sought relief from
the fiery shower by plunging into the sea.
HE SAW Bosco TREcAsR DESTROYED.
The Giornale d'Itdlia says that Lieut..
Ciarrocchi, who was in command of the
troops there, witnessed the destruction
OF Bosco Trecase. He says that after mid
night terrific rumblings were heard, fol-
lowed by a violent earthquake, which
shattered the windows in the town. Then
lava began flowing from the CiaramellA
crater, and a wild panic ensued, the people
rushing through the streets, s~hrieking with
terror.
The Garamella crater was hurting masses
Of incandescent rock into the air and a
torrent OF fire was sweeping down the
side Of the mountain at terrific speed. It
was flowing in two streams. One of them
was 200 yards wide and was headed for
the centre Of the town. The population
fed terrorstricken to Tore dell Annunziata.
The soldiers vislted every house to see
that the inhabitants escaped, and rescued
two or three bedridden persons. The town
had hardly been evacuated when a river
Of fire invaded the houses, and soon Bosco
Trecase seemed to be %enveloped in flames.
-Four hundred refugees have been shell
tered in the Granili barracks at Naples.
The road between Ceroola and Ottajano

TRAIN HAD NARROW ESCAPE.
LONDON, April "a despatch from
Rome says the King and Queen OF Italy
had a narrow escape while on their way
to Naples. Immediately after the royal
train had passed a certain spot the track
was blocked by showers Of ashes and Gin
ders following a tremendous explosion In
the volcano.
Naples is crowded and provisions nave
trebled in price. From Castellamare and
other points on the southeast coast Of the
bay fugitives are arriving on gun carriages
and by sea.
The steamship Princess Mafelda, with
1000 persons on board, left Capri for Naples
this morning. When she was about a mile
of the coast Of the mainland the passengers
were nearly suffocated by cinders and ashes.
The vessel dropped anchor, being unable to
reach her destination.
LONDON, April 1o.-A despatch to the
Chronicle from Naples says that at night the

visibly increased in violence. Terrific ex-
blossoms could be heard in Naples.

for Dowie and his chief li%eutenants were
predicted tonight when it became known
that bowie proposes N flight fire with fire.
that he threatened to cause the arrest OF
Overseer Wilbur Glenn Voliva and his
aides on charges Of criminal conspiracy,
and that a number Of the leading Volivans
had been participants in many financial

against the Apostle.
II Dowie is arrested, charged with crime,

ties declare most Of the pillars Of the Church
will fall with him. He will be in a position
to turn States evidence and send his faith
less l%ieutenants to the p~enitentiary, II Is
asserted.
Voliva has sent out a general order for
bidding the use Of Dowie's name in any
way in connection with Zion. Statesmen,
storekeepers and officers have been in
structed even to cease the use OF stationery
bearing Dowie's name.
Mrs. Jane Dowie to-day revoked a power
Of attorney she gave to the First Apostle
when she went to Europe some time Ago..
Stories were told in Zion City to-day
that Dowie planned eventually to pose as

deacons in Zion would admit having ever
heard him express such an intention.

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
LONDON, April 8. Ambassador Reid to-
,nighbDpresented to Capt. Scott the medal
awarded to him by the American Geo
graphical Society for his services in Ant
arctic discovery. There was a large gath
ering in the hall of the Royal Geographical
Society to witness the presentation.
In the course of his speech Mr.. Reid
ascribed to Capt. Scott the honor Of bring
ing back more information than the COM
mander of any preceding expedition. The
Americans, he added, would not be the
young and progressive people they are If
they did not greatly appreciate the fact
that this good work had been done by a
young man. They would not be Ameri-
cans if they were not wholly pleased that
next to achieving such a record themselves
the work had beer done by an fngllshman.
Capt. Scott, in reply, referred enthusiasts
tically to the coming American expedition.

THESE BULLETS DO NOT KILL.
Paris Invention That Permits Practice
With Human Targets.
Special Gable Despatch 10 THK SUN.

SDeClll CuOe DesDdlCH 10 THH Sun.
LONDON, April 9.-Walter Winans; the
American marksman describes tests made
in Paris with a new patent bullet which
hits, but does not kill. The invention
promises to revolutionize rife and revolver
practice.
The bullet, which was invented by DIR.
Deirllers, Is hollow, and can be used several
times. Mr.. Winans and several others
praotised with it with one another under
duelling conditions. The pistols used were
furnished with steel guards resembling
a sword hilt, to protect the hands, because
the bullet, although it does not penetrate
the clothing, will wound naked flesh. All
wore motor goggles.
Two hundred and seventy-two shots were
fred and 2o2 hits were recorded. Mr..
Minans and Commandant Ferrous made full
scores, finally shooting each other v
the heart.
Frenchmen regard such practice as
splendid training for duelling, as the ex-
perience of firing at and being fired at by
a living opponent has unique value, it
being totally different from aiming at a
target. Men who never missed a target
were quite disconnected at first when the
opponents arm was raised to fire.
1t is necessary to observe the rules not to
aim at the face and to keep the pistol raised
until both men have fired. One Of the COM
batants inadvertently lowered his pistol
and received hS opponents bullet in his
thumb, compelling a surgical operation.

The Republican party is in a bad way in
Pennsylvania this year. 1t is split into

Of the State.

sTEERAGE PASSENGERS sWINDLEp
Four Men Arrested for Clever Trick on
Italian Travellers.

A scheme for swindling outbound steerage pas-
sengers was discovered yesterday on the White
Star and Cunard piers shortly before the steam
ers Carpathia and Cretic sailed for Naples
Four Italians were arrested and taken to Police
Headquarters. charged with swindling their
countrymen. About fifteen italians sailed YES
terday on the Carpathia without tickets. They
will be compelled to pay full fare or work
their passage.
Through the quick work of the detectives the
twenty-one passengers who went aboard the
Cretfc were sent ashore thus preventing trouble
after the Cretic sailed.
According to the detectives, the scheme was for
one of the gang to approach an Italian known
to be returning to Italy and tell him that he
could get a SO rate TO Naples saving therebv
SIS The victim was instructed to meet one Of
the members of the gang the pier The man
would hand him a valid ticket, bought by the
gang. The victim was instructed to show the
ticket 10 the quartermaster on guard at the
steerage gangway.
After passing the quartermaster. the victim
instructed to put the ticket into pocket
book and throw it TO the leader of the gang
the pier.
The unsuspecting steerage passenger was told
that, once aboard ship, he would never be called
upon to produce his ticket.
The one valid ticket. after 1t was thrown from,
the deck by the first victim. was handed 10 the
second, and on until the fifteen or twenty
victims were passed aboard the ship.
