Of the house resulted 10 the burglars
finding $S5 and gold watch. Telling
Plumb that he could moi fool them, they
ordered him to reveal The place where
his money was hidden, threatening him
with death if he did not. He protested
they bad Obtained all Expecting to
make him speak by torture, the burglars
bound him to a chair and held lamp
fame to his feet. His shrieks were
stifed by the bed clothes. Time and
again the thieves stopped to ask him n
reveal the hiding place, burning the
sOles u both feet and part way up his
legs, not aud leaving the house until he
swocne,l. They told Mrs. Plumb, who.

but no trace Of the burglars has yet been

TUESDAY EVENING. APRIL 10. 1906.

The TERRIBLE disaster which has oc-
cnrred in the southern section of Italy Is
at present attracting the attention OF the
civil zed world 1t is a repetition oil q
calamity from the same cause which
buried up two cities in the early part Of
the Christian era. Terrible as was the
d .s;ruction which befell Pompeii and
Herculantsm, the loss of life on that oc-
clsion. from all accounts, was by no
means as large as that caused by lava
during the past few days. In the case
nj The ancient cities there is reason to
believe that but few of the inhabitants
perished, as they had sufficient warning
t, fee to points of safety. Times have
changed since the days of the Caesars
II then took months to circulate news
throughout the babitable world, and
many died without knowing that there
had been such CONFUSION of nature.
In fact the destruction Of the cities re-
ferred to seems to have been lost sight OF
for many centuries when Pompeii and
Hercalaneun were discovered by an accI-
dent. Different conditions exist now,
and the news of the activity Of Ve'u-
yius and the Disasters that have followed
are flashed around the globe within R
{ ~ hnnrs' time.

Dowie In Chicago.

Chicago, April Weary and worn
from his long railway journey, John
Alexander Dowie, deposed prophet Of
Zion, arrived in Chicago at S:45 O'Clock
this morning over the Wabash railway.
Probably three thousand persons jam
med themselves into the Polk street de-
pot. swsyiDg, struggling, curious mass
of humanity, who fought strenuously
with an extra police force for places OF
vantage to witness the debsrkation.
Cheers, yells and cat-cslls went up con-
tinuously. "Come on out, Jehn Alex
ander; we want to see YOU" was the
burden of the invitation from the crowd.
The prophet made some effort to dodge
the situation for be walked up the train
to the smoker seeking for means OF
dropping off the train, where the crowd
was The thinest. He failed 10 find a
thin" place, and eventually climbed
down. on to the platform surrounded by
body of his intimates who fought to
keep back the pressing people. HIS
weakened condition was apparent. sup
ported by two men of giant stature,
Dowie finally made his way TO e car
riage into which hewss bundled quickly,
the horses were whipped aud with foul
cabs the caya.cade started ostensibly tor
the Chicago and Northwestern depot
The mob, or, at least, majority OF it,
failed to get even aglimpse ofthe former
leader of Zion. Those who had mol
seen Dowie for several months were
struck by the emaciated condition of the
man. If the spirit is willing, the flesh
certainly is weak. John Alexander
Dowie does not look like map with
enough physical energy to enter seri-
Gus battle.
Dowie announced that he would Hoi
proceed to Zion City today, but that he
would carry the case directly to the
courts for adjudication. 81 think it j:

if he remained silent longer, he might
be dead before he could bring the un-

ily against him WAS part of the plot
to deprive him OF his possession of Zion.

Tor their use, and after the horrors they
had already suffered they became wildly
excited when the roof crashed in. The
wild stampede to escape from the build
ing was responsible for toe greater num-
Der of casualties. Although many were
caught by the falling timbers and in
iured in this way.
Later this morning the violence of the
eruption diminished somewhat, and as a
consequence the fall of ashes and ciDde :
slackened. The lava streams are adj
vanciDg slowly.
A further search of the collapsed
church at San Giuseppe resulted in the
discovery of more bodies, bringing the
total NJ to nearly 200. The ruined
houses have also been searched and re-
suited in the discovery of forty corpses.
Most Of these victims were old people
who apparently had not the strength
to fee.
Seventy persons have been taken 10
hospitals in the town Of Nolaj. The streets
there in places are filled to depth Of
fourteen feet with the debris from the
volcano.

Fifty-ninth Congress.
Washington, April 10.
SENATE.

A battle between constitutional giants
was precipitated in the Senate this after
noon, when Mr.. Bailey. the minority
leader, essayed the task of defending
against the assaults of Senator'S Spooner;
Knox, Foraker and others his conleH-
ton that Congress could limit the juris-
diction and judicial power of The in
ferior federal courts
He declared that under this right Con-
gress should enact railway rate regu7
lation law that would prohibit the set
ting aside by the courts of the decision
of the commission, pending an appeal to
the Supreme Court of the United States.
He expressed surprise that such learn
ed lawyers as Mr.. SpoOner and Mr..
Knox should in the Senate forum place
themselves ON record against such a
clearly defined principle of law and de-
clared that if they were correct it would
be necessary to rewritN every law on the
statute books. He said the proposition
for which he coutended had been written
in the judicial act OF 1898, and that II
had come down intact to section 72O OF
the revised statutes.
1t was an unusual audience thatheard
he stirring debate. Almost every Sen
ator was in his seat, when Mr. Bailey
took the floor. The public and private
galleries were crowded
Mr. Tillman called up the rate bill
Immediately upon the conclusion OF the
routine business.
Mr.. Bailey, in taking the floor, said
that when he had first asserted that Con-
gress possesses the power to prevent the
inferior federal courts suspending by a
preliminary Injunction the rate fixed by
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
most of those who challenged that as
serlion drew distinction between the
powers of Congress over the federal
courts IN equity and in law proceedings.
He said he could never see that any
sauctity vested in the equity courts, and
he congratulated himself upon the fact
that these scoffing Senators bad at last
Internationally abandoned there shallow
and unfOunded distinction.
Further he exclaimed: "Such argu-
ment 6nds no sanction anywhere except
in the speeches OF the two Senator'S, yet,
it finds conclusive and abundant refuta-
ton in the decisions of the courts every
where" He said he would not charge
Mr. Spooner with being uncandid 10 the
citation OF authorities but he thought
the manner of their presentation "was
calculated to mislead all those not famil-
lar with the facts" As he spoke the
Senator looked toward Mr.. Spooner.
THE Senator from Wisconsin smiles, "
be exclaimed. at is well that he should
smile now, for he will not when have
got through with him. :"
81 have noticed some such things in
the public prints" retorted Mr.. SPopner,
graciously.

Thrust at the Commissioners

Notwithstanding that yesterday was
District day in the House aud that body
resolved itself into common council for
the purpose of making laws for the Dis
trict of Columbia, general interest was
shown in the bills requiring nonresident
pupils to pay tuition and regulating the
employment Of child labor.
Mr. Hep ,urri of Iowa, replying to
long speech of Mr.. Sims, of Tennessee,
in which he advocated self-government

ton. lie did not think two newspaper
men nld me army officer, who consii-
luled the board of commissioners, the

thought it would be better tor them to

MRS. DowIE says her husband, The
"prophet" has not been responsible for
his actions for two years, in which char
liable opinion the junior DOwie concurs,
and she adds that she will meet her hus-
band and take care of him if he will al
low her. But Dowie would prefer to be
taken care Of by the seven young and

have selected for his domestic establish
ment in Mexico, where polygsmy is not

Miners and Operators.

New York, April lO.-The reply Of
the anthracite operators to Joan Nit.
chsl's proposal OF arbitration OF the hard
coal differences will be made this after
noon, when the operators aud miners
meet for their joint conference ~ the
Jersey Central building. There was a
preliminary meeting of operators in the
offices of the Temple Coal aud Iron
Company, tor the purpose Of coming to
some agreement ON the form OF the
counter proposal to be mace to the min
eTs.
The attitude of John Mitchell and the
sub-scale committee toward the counter
proposition Of the operators no matter IN
what form it may be presented is pro.
bleualical, and the miners president
will doubtless ask lprIan adjournment OF
two or three days in which the full scale
committee may be called together aud
the counter proposition considered.
Mr. Mitchell hopes to be able to issue
the call for the convention by the latter
part of the week. The convention will
probably be held at Wllkes-Barre the
middle OF next week.
New York, April l0.-The operators
aud miners who are conducting the ne
gotiaiions looking to the avoidance of a
strike in the anthracite region met again
today at | 80 p. N. Ii is known thst
the operators have prepared counter
proposition to the offer of arbitration
made by the miners. This couuter-pro-
posal, il is officially stated, is to throw
the whole dispute Into the hands of the
anthracite strike commission, which sd-
indicated the differences II e'upl yes and
employers in 1902 ,, understood
that the operators slso want whatever
DECISION is reached to stand for three
years from April lst, 1906, and not for
two years, as stated 10 The miners pro-
pOsal.
The conference WAS in session but
brief period, adjournment coming at
2'l0 p. m. Announcement was then
made that the conferrees would meet
again Thursday at 1870 p. m. to dis
cuss the reply of the miners TO the
counter proposition of the operators.
This counter proposition OF the operators
was made public. Its text in effect is
az outlined above, except that in asking
that the questions be referred to the
Anthracite Strike Commission, IL asks
that the commission ascertain ifany new
questions have come up since the former
award.

Eate ofImportant Measures.

Governor Warfeld, of Maryland, yes
tsrday acted on a. number of important
measures. Most important of these was
the signing of the snti-cut-off bill, which
prevents the Pennsylvania Railroad from
building Its freight cutoff from Balti
more along the route it had selected and
compels it to go out beyond Owings
Mills and Timonium. This the com
pany says it will not do.
The girdle electric bill was vetoed.
1t WIS said to be full of snakes, and
Governor Warfeld said it WAS bssty leg
IsIatiOD.
The two.cents-a nile railroad bill WAS
killed on the ground that II would WORK
a hardship on the mailer roads.
The appropriation of $3.50, 600 tor the
expenses of the next legislature was
vetoed on the ground OF &c inomy, all the
actually necessary expenses OF the ses'
sion being already provided for.
The free passe--hr-Oificials bill was
another that went 10 the slaughter.
