Reign of Terror.

Wilkes Barre, Pa, April l6.-George-
town, a suburb of this city, underwear. a
reign of terror yesterday caused by an
attempt to arrest disOrderIy persons IN a
foreign settlement aud a riot ensued in
which several persons were shot and the
state police were called to enforce the
law The FIRST trouble began at one
O'Clock Sunday morning when the
grocery store of John Lusco, at George
town, was wrecked by dynamite.
The reason given is that LuscO had
refused credit to customers during the
mine suspension and that his store was
dynsmited out of revenge. Sunday
evening four constsbles armed with war
rants went to the settlement and arrest
ed Steve Richards, but Il mob over
powered them and took the prisoner
from the officers. The latter fired their
revolvers aud were pursued over a mile,
fusilade being frel by both sides.
One, Joseph "Wednesday, is thought
to be fatally injured, and is al the Mercy
Hospital. The constabIes had to run

Proposition to be Declined.

New York, April l6.-The an
thracile operators will meet at the
Jersey Central building tomorrow to
draft the formal reply to John Mitch
ellis latest proposal for arbitration of
the existing differences in the anthracite
region. Mr.. MitchelPs ex 2ressed hope
that il would contain some new prop
ostiOn that would lead to a settlement
or give some suggestion bv which the
operators and miners could continue
their negotiations will not be realized.
The formal reply, which will be sent
to Mr.. Mitchell at indianapolis, will
fatty decline the last counter PROPOSE
ton OF the miners, as was clearly iDdi-
Gated by President Baer, of the Read
ing, at the last Joint meeting, and will
recapitulale the last proposition of the
operators, in which they agreed to sub
NIT the question If wages and adjust
ment of complaints through the concil-
iation board. The reply will state that
the award of the anthracite commission
covers all the other demands OF the
miners.
While conserving to arbitration of
two questions--wages and adjustment OF
comprehensive reply will not assume
that there exists any reason for changes
on these POINTS, but will lei the COM
mission decide whether conditions have
arisen that make changes necessary on
these points.
1t is not likely th,t Mr.. Mitchell and
the members of the sub-scale committee
will make a request for another confer
ence and that Mr.. MitchelPs next move
will be after all questions in the blum
nous region have been settled, TO call
a convention of the districts.

Conditions in Vicinity of Vesuvius.
Naples, April l6.-People in Naples
aud in the towns and villages in the
vicinity OF Vesuvius are more calm today
than at any time since the eruption be-
gan. In this city the showers Of ashes
swept here by the wind from the fiery
mountain are being carted away and the
business portion of the town is assuming
its normal aspect.
A number of reports of fresh horrors
from the lava reached here this morn
ing, but investigation showed that there
was no foundation for them. The fall
of lava and sand from the principal
crater of Vesuvius is now small, and the
belief prevails that the eruption which
snufied out hundreds of lives and caused
widespread destruction to property will
shortly end.
The work of searching the ruins in the
villages at the foot of Vesuvius, which
has gone on uninterruptedly since the
flow OF lava and the fall of stones and
ashes permitted operations to be begun,
continues today. From the ruins of the
church in Ottsjano ten more bodies have
been recovered. With the destruction
of one all the bodies we're so horribly
mutilated that they could not be iden-
tilted.
Reports from San Giuseppe this morn
ing are to the effect that l39 corpses
have teen recovered. One hundred and
nine of these were found buried beneath
the oratory of church which collapsed
from the weight of ashes after number
of refugees had sought shelter there.
The remainder were found ia ruins of
collapsed dwellings. A convoy carrying
bread and supplies to the sufferers from
the eruption in 0ttajsnO was attacked To-
day while passing Terzigno by crowds of
Vanishing people. The soldiers tried 10
get the convoy through, but before they
could proceed they we're compelled TO
give all the bread to the people.
Fully 80, 900 persons participated in
religious demonstration at Terre
Annunziata yesterday. The people,
stirred up by recent events, cougregated
in groups and frenEiedly returned thanks
to the Madonna tor their deiverance
from the fury Of Vesuvius.

Woman Killed BY a Negro.

Mrs. Martha j. Bass, the divorced
wife of John Farley, of Gallipolis, o.,
was shot in Huntington, w. Va, three
times by Charley Morrow, a colored hotel
porter, at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The woman died an hour later. The
shooting occurred at the home of Her
bert Steel a brother-iD-law of Mrs.
Bass. The Steel home is located in the
most central part Of the residence dis
trict and the streets we're crowded with
people at the time.
The negro ran from the house with a
smoking pistol in his hand and attempted
to escape among the throngs on Easter
promenade, but was pursued by hundreds.
When the police overlook him he had to
be dubbed into submission and was hur-
ried of to the county jail for fear OF mob
violence.
Mrs. Bass was 80 years of age and her
little niece, only IL years old, was the
only witness to the tragedy. The sup
position is that the hotel porter had
taken Mrs. Bass letter and quarrel
arose. Mrs. Bass had been on the street
two minutes before the tragedy aud had
just entered the hall when the negro APP
peared.
The scene of the murder was just OPP,
posite the Guyando.te Club. the city's
most fashionable resort. Mrs. Bass
went to Huntington few weeks ago on
a visit to her sister. The feeling is so
strong against the negro that there would
be no great surprise should mob violence
ensue.

SPEAKER CANNON's recent statement
regarding tariff revision, in which he
virtually serves notice upon the Amer
lean people that if they are not satisfied
with the present tariff law they should
vote for democratic, or tariff revision,
candidates in the coming congressional
elections has caused a sensation among
his party associates not equaled by any
other political development OF the SEES
sion. 1t is, of course, understood that
the Speaker meant his utterance as a
threat that he does not think the peo-
pie of the country have any intention oil
voting the democratic ticket, even Tor
the purpose Of Tariff revision, and that,
in defying the sentiment among the
republicans 10 favor of tariff changes,
he thinks he has taken the most effect
i've means Of suppressiug that sentl-
ment. But the republican members OF
the House do not agree with him.
Throughout New England and several
of the middle western States, where the
demand for tariff revision is strong
among the voters, they fear that the
Speakers declaration will have the effect
of defeating republican candidates and
electing democrats in their stead.
a many of the districts affected by the
syision sentiment, especially in New
England. republicans have been holding
heir seats by promising to 10 everything
,ossible to have The schedules of the
resent law readjusted, aud they have
pointed 10 the las. declaration OF the
-epublican national platform in favor OF
tariff revision by the friends of prolec-
ton as guarantee that their efforts
will not be entirely futile. As result,
every republican in the House who, as
matter OF either policy or conviction,
urges that the tariff Law should be
amended in accordance with the wishes
of his constituents, is aghast at the
Speakers attitude, and is trembling for
fear that, by his ntterance alone, Mr..
Cannon has made reelection impossible.
For Mr.. Cannon has said, ia effect, that
promises of tariff reform made by re-
publican candidates are meaningless;
tina. the policy OF toe republican party,
as he understands il. is TO "stand pat,
and that his own policy and that OF the
House managers is 10 prevent revision,
not only in this Congress. but in every
subsequent Congress which they can
control.

MONDAY EVENING. APRIL 10. 1906.

President ROOSEVELT, 10 his speech
Saturday afternoon, at the laying Of the
cornerstone Of the Office building for The
House of Representatives, advocated the
imposition of federal inheritance tax
onl swollen fortunes" The President
remarks on this subject came as a shock
to the many republican Senators and
members of the House who we're in his
audience. They we're not prepared Tor
il. as the President had previously
soothed them into a mood of unusual
self-complacency by denouncipg the de-
tractors of public men in the course OF
his lay-sermon on the "man with The
muck rake" the subject on which he
had been advertised to speak. Having
paid his respects TO the writers and
speakers who can find nothing good IN
public life or public men, he plunged
into the question of the regulation OF
great fortunes, and announced his per-
sonal belief thst il won Id soon be found
necessary to impose a progressive tax
on sill fortunes beyond certain amount,
either given in life or devised or be-
quea.hed upon death to any individual
a tax so framed as to put it out OF the
power of the owner of one of these enor-
nous fortunes to hand more than GER
tain amount to any one individual, -
this tax to be imposed by the federal
government. Republican Senators and
members glanced at one another uneasiiy
as they began to gather the drlft OF Inc
Presidents remarks. Then expressions
of dismay or disgust spread over their
features, according to their tempera-
mens and the character of population
and size of the normal republican ma
iorities in their States or districts. 1t
could be seen that many members be-
gan at once tc calculate the probable
effect of this new doctrine of the Official
head of the party on the collection OF
funds for this falls congressional CAM
paign and on the feelings Of wealthy
constituents. The soothing effect pro-
duced by the preceding lay-sermon on
'tbe man with the muck rake" was dis
sipaled in an instant. The disgust OF
the republicans was increased later when
their democratic colleagues began to
congratulate them ironically on the fact
that the President had adopted another
democratic doctrine. The President
will colAe out for an income tax, not
withslanding the Supreme Court decision,
ss the next logical step" the democrats
told the republicans.
