NEW CABINET MAKES BROAD
DECLARATION
Coalition Will Not Be Abandoned.
Date for Election SettIed-Em-
peror's Influence Proves
Effective
BY Associated Press.

VIENNA, April S.-Count Albert Ap-
ponyi, the minister of worship in the
new Hungarian cabinet, said today:
1.-THE Hungarian cabinet was formed
on the basis of universal suffrage. and
ali other questions will be reserved for
a parliament elected on that basis.
mo part of the coalition program has
been abandoned. The members of the
cabinet were sworn in at the Hofburg
palace this evening. Afterward tie
emperor-king held an informal recep-
ton, during which his greeting of the
new ministers was most friendly.
From the Hofburg palace the minis
ters went to the Hungarian ministry,
where they had ttheir first cabinet
council.
1T was decided that writs will be
issued tomorrow calling for elections
to be held April 2S.
1.-The new parliament is expected to
assemble May 49,
Emperor's Influence Effective
The king -emperor's influence was of
great effect in the settlement of the
Hungarian crisis 1t was only his per-
suasion that oVercame Count Andras-
sy's reluctance to enter the cabinet.
Then trouble arose over the distribu-
tion of the portfolios. The followers
of Francis Koasuth claimed the min
istry of the interior for him, while the
emperor-l<ing wanted Count Apponyi
for the position so that he could pre-
side over the elections. The matter
was ended by compromise. Count
Andrassy taking the portfolio.
Hungarian politicians are highly
satisfied with the settlement, which
they say was reached chiefly through
the efforts of Francis Joseph. All
Misunderstanding they declare. have
been smoothed over.
The new parliament will vote the
money to pay for new guns, but only to
an extent to cover obligations already
incurred and no increase in the nor
NAL number of recruits will be sane
toned until the military questions now
in abeyance are settled.

it's execution the Rock Island and

Vesuvius Grand Spectacle

With the danger and the horror of

one of the most splendid sights i'm
aginable. The mountain of fire. whose
speech is by detonation and whose
acts are destruction. seems like an en-
ragged giant determined to make the

wrath. Here and there on the noun

the devastation the volcano has

Naples in Panic

BY Associated Press.
NAPLES, April 8.-The hope that
Mount Vesuvius was becoming calm
was dissipated today when the volcano
became more active than ever.
The panic has spread to Naples Two
strong earthquake shocks, which shat
tered windows and cracked the walls
of buildings, were experienced today.
The entire population rushed to the
streets in terror many persons crying:
"The Madonna has forsaken us, the
end of the world has come"
No trace remains of Boscottrecaz, a
commune on the southern declivity of
The mountain, where up to forty-eight
hours ago ten thousand persons lived;
and Tore Annunziata, on the shores of
the Gulf of Naples one mile to the
southwark, is almost surrounded by the
invading lava and has been evacuated
by it's thirty thousand inhabitants. The
people were brought to Naples by
trains, street cars, military carts and
steamships. Similar means of trans
portation are being employed to bring
away the people from Tore del Graeco.
The police and carbineers are guarding
the abandoned houses and several MEM
bers of the government are there.

Destitute and Terror Stricken

A telegram received from the mayor
of San Sebastiano, a village near the
observatory on the northwest declivity
of Vesuvius, says that lava is ap-
preaching rapidly and that the people
are terror stricken. They have been for
some nights without sleep, he says, and
destitute and beg assistance be given
them.
The work of succor is hampered,
owing to delays to the railway service,
which is interrupted by red hot stones
thrown to height of 5000 feet falling
on the tracks.
AS yet it is impossible to count the
raters that have opened and from
which streams of lava have flooded the
beautiful, prosperous and happy land
lying on the southeast shores of the
Gulf of Naples. The atmosphere is
heavily charged with electricity and
now and then the flashes of lightning
are binding, while the detonations from
the volcano resemble those of terrible
explosions.
The churches of the city were open
all Saturday night and were crowded
with panic stricken people. Members
of the clergy are doing their utmost
to calm their fears, but the arguments
go almost for naught when renewed
earthquake shocks are experienced.

A Statement.

Troy, Idaho, February 27, 1906.
Editor of Troy News:-Under the
head Of SLACK Answers" you printed
a communication signed by J. M.
Slack in your edition of February %,
and while I do not want to take up too
much of your time and space on ac-
count of an unpleasant incident,
would like to correct few things said
by ]. M. Slack. Mr.. Slack is evident
ly under the impression that trouble
started because I would not obey the
law in opening a road until l was COM
PEELED to do so. Permit me to say
that I opened the road in question
without ever being notified by anyone
in authority, and that the road was
opened before the supervisor said a
word to me. Mr.. Slack, without any
authority, had ordered me to open the
road before 1 did open it but he was
not in position to order the rosd open,
and was merely NEEDING where he had
no business to interfere Mr.. Slack S
son was the one who started the trouble
and he it was that stopped me in the
road and challenged me to fight. !
will not menion the vile names that
the son called me but I will suggest
to Mr. Slack that often a son will lie to
his father to clear his own skirts.
had no hard feelings against Mr.. Slack
on account of the road in question and
were until scms tine later when he
asked me to mix up in a neighborhood
quarrel in which he was interested,
and because l would not assist him in
his quarrels he has since seen fit tc
harass me on all occasions and his sons
like the father, have done likewise.
Mr.. Slack and l were jointly interested
in the opening Of the road and want
ed it open as much as Mr.. Slack did,
in fact, offered to pay Mr.. Slack s
expenses during the time that he spent
in trying to get the road opened. but
Mr.. Slack evidently thought I was
easy and after he spent some time or
the new road he wanted me to pay him
wages in addition to his expenses.
refused to be the sucker at the end O
Mr.. Slack's line Of grating and I al
ways shall.
Yours Respectfully

WaIer Did Dana pc.

Several thousand dollars of dam
ages was done last Thursday afternoon
by the breaking of 24-foot dam on
the Anderson place, now owned by
Rev. Beach, on Little Bear Ridge.
The warm rain caused the nd to
overflow and the entire volume cover
ing some four or five acres, poured
down the narrow canyon, tearing up
the county road and demolishing a
warehouse at Clyde's spur at the
mouth. The total damage will aggre-
gate some ten thousand dollars, seven
hundred being sustained by the owner
of the pond, five hundred damages on
the wagon road, while the Vollmer-
Clearwater Co. will loose more than
seven thousand. The N. P. track was
torn out and other damage done.
From the marks left by the torrent it is
estimated the water was at least fifteen
feet deco as it tore down the steep
but narrow gulch, and went with
sufficient force to tear out boulders
weighing several tons. The dam
was 400 feet long, 90 feet wide at the
base, and "a feet high in the center,
1t gave way because the center settled
and permitted the overflow to go ovei
there instead of at the end where Z
food gate had been put in.

he has not found a country th9t will

are beginning to get interested in the

something that ought to interest every
farmer because it will pay, and the con-

Is This LssaI2

While w. D. smith, the virtuous
editor Of the Moscow Mirror, is in the
investigating business The Troy News
will insist that he explain the follow
ing, taken from the official records Of
Latah county:
In volumn S, page 265, commits
sioners' record, there is an itemized
statement of bill presented by smith.
It reads:
Dec. /. '04. To publication
720 lines com pro at Sc $21.60
To Notice for Auditor 500
Total - 2660
This bill was allowed and paid jan
uary 23, 1905. Again in the same
volume, commissioner proceedings,
page $40, w. D. smith, editor of the
Mirror, presented bill and in it, dated
December l, '04, we have:
To pub. 720 lines, com pro at
3 cents per line, $21.o0
To Notice for Auditor 500
Total 26.6O
Allowed and paid April 24, 1905.
And here is the affidavit made by
Mr.. smith when he presented this bill
a second time: Being duly sworn
deposes and says: The within is a
just account against Latah county, and
no part of the same has been paid.
Here we have an official record oI
how dearly Mr.. Smith loves Latah
county tax payers, and evidence con-
clusiveiy that he really feels sorry when
he thinks the tax payers interests are
jeaperdized by the improper publica-
ton of the proceedings in the Troy
News. 1t will be seen by examining
these records that these duplicate bills
were not presented as two separate
bills, but were sandwitched in with
other items, totaling several hundred
dollars, fact which accounts for the
county board overlooking the graft,
1t was discovered only during the
session of the board this week. The
Troy News intends to personally check
up every bill presented to Latal
county by Editor Smith and show the
people just how much he loves the
dear taxpayers. While Smith admits
he is uncertain as to the charge
against the Troy News, The New:
has the advantage by being absolutely
positive regarding our charge agains
Brother Smith. This is no bluff. y

Little Rock, March 13. -Chas. Mckee, cashier of the Mercantile Trust Company, of Little Rock, has come into an interesting notoriety during the last few days on account of his name. The world is small after all, and he has no monopoly of the name. Last week Col. s. w.

Auvergne, Ark. March 10, 1906.

God laid his hand on our be- loved brother, Dr. David May, and took from the wife a devoted husband, from the children a loving father, from the com munity valuable citizen and to himself a faithful servant.
 Bro. May was born Nov. 15, 1926, died Oct. 29, 1905. He came to Arkansas in October, 1848. He was in the organiza- tion of the Pleasant Valley Bap- tist church at Sandhill and has lived consistent member there to up to his death.
 He leaves a devoted wife, two children and relatives with many friends to mourn his departure. Bro. May fingered long and suf- fered much, but was very pa tient, putting his trust in that Savior who had redeemed his soul. Surely and truly he had the victory over death through Christ Jesus our Lord and his spirit is happy with his creator, where no sorrow nor crying ever comes and where the blood washed throng are engaged in praising the Lord.
 Resolved, By the Pleasant Valley Baptist church, that we greatly sympathize with the be- reaved ones and commend them to God our father who is all wise and doeth all things well.
 Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon our minutes and copy be sent the Baptist Flag and the New port Independent for pul lication.
