Better News To-day.

Naples, April 9-Better news was received this morning from the viii lages around Mount Yesuyius.. There are one hundred and fifty thousand refugees from the afflicted districts in Naples. The ten thousand inhabi- tants of Boscotreatse have all fled fro mtheir homes. Streams of lava which have been threatening Tore Annunziata, town of twenty-eight thousand inhabitants, twelve miles from Naples, have remained statioB- ary since last evening. so that the danger to that place has passed. The people of this place are tremendously excited. The women are in panic. A rrmor was started to the effect that the visit of the king and queen of Italy had resulted in miracle. SIngularly enough after the king and queen had tried to counsel the people the sun burst forth and the atmo- sphere which up to that time had been impregnated with sulphurous gases and suffOcating fumes, cleared away. The king and queen are visiting all the villages. An analysis of the moun- tains of ashes which have been hurl- ed from the crater shows that they are composed chiefly of iron, sul- phur and magnesla.

CITY NEWS

The hall of the new Whittemore block on the corner of Grand and Bank streets will be opened some time in June by big religious meet ing held under tba auspices of the First Baptist church.
 The rooms of the Catholic Wo- mems association will be open to- night and tomorrow night, and will then be closed until after Easter The Monday and Tuesday evening classes will meet as usual.
 It was announced at the different masses at the Sacred Heart church yesterday that an entertainment will be given in the parochial school during the early part of June. It is expected that the building will be completed by that time.
 Many wondered why so many young ladies were seen to-day going through the streets without umbrellas even though the snow was coming down heavily. On inquiry it was learned that April snow is the best thing in the world for the complex ion and that it is a sure cure for freckles.
 At 3 o'clock this afternoon in Ref cree Newton's office in New Haven the final meeting of the creditors of the Biting Clothing Co began. Since the company was forced into bank ruptcy it has been rumored that a quantity of goods has been unac- counted for. To explain this alleged disappearance both the president and the treasurer of the company were called upon to testify.
 On March 24 Kennedy and Cassidy brought suit for August Sigran, aged 76, living in Naugatuck, against Robert and Evalina Bathrick of Beacon Falls. The old man alleged fraud and undue influence. claiming that they promised to take care of him for the rest of his days if he would deed to them his house and lot worth. $1,700. He did so and they were to give him the use of two rooms, but scarcely were they in possession of the premises than they elected the old man. according to his story. and would have no more to do with him. On April {, or elev- en days after the suit was brought, the Bathricks deeded the house back to the old man. For quick returns of lawsuit this beats anything that ever happened hereabouts. Now the town of Beacon Falls has brought proceedings for the appointment of a conservator over the old man, al- leging he is unable to take care of his affairs.

NEW PARTY FORMED
LABOR AND REFORM MEN OF
 CHICAGO ARE IN IT.
Claim There Is Too Much Graft Un- der the Present Political Bosses
 and Parties.

Chicago, April 9-With the declar- ation that widespread graft in civic life and the domination of political bosses have produced q condition more dangerous to the republic than that which led to the civil war. repi e. sentatiyes of 63 labor and reform or ganizations met yesterday in conven- tion and launched new political par ty. A permanent organization has been formed and officers have been elected. The new party is to be known as the Chicago Progressive AL liance, and it plans to capture the primaries and nominate men to office who will be free from the influence of any of the old political party ma chimes.
 To carry out this program the plar- form favors legislation requiring tho suspension of all business on primary and election days. that the wording people may fully and rationaly excr- else their suffrage. It also provides for the nomination of all candidates for elective office by direct vote of the people at the primaries.
 The recall of men elected to public office when they betray the interests of their constituents is made a prom inent feature of the platform of the new party. Each candidate, before ac- cepting nomination must sign q pledge that he will honestly and fear lessly make the contest and form no alliance with any other political party or person. If elected he will be re- quested to place his resignation fin the hands of the party, to take effect when petition signed by majority of the voters in his ward or district is filed with the county clerk.

MAY TAKE BACK
 THE NAVAL LAYERS
MIDSHIPMEN MAY GET ANOTHER
 CHANGE TO BE GOOD.
Secretary Bonaparte Before the Congressional Committee -- He
 Talks About the New Bill.

Washington, April 9-There is a ray Of hope that at least some of she young midshipmen who were recently dismissed from the naval academy, as the result of court martial sentence for hazing may be reinstated.
 When the law was enacted bernie ting the substitution of less severe punishment than absolute dismissal for the offence of hazing in the dis erection of the secretary of the navy and the superintendent of the naval academy, it was pointed out that it would be manifestly unfair to the unfortunates who had been expelled from the academy, to discriminate to the extent of allowing their comrades who had participated in the. yery same acts of haZin gto remain in the service, although formally charged with the offence by the investigating board.
 Secretary Bonaparte was question: ed by the house committee on naval affairs on this subject. He felt that the proposed curative act would be more efficient if unencumbered by any special legislation. such as a pro- vision for the reinstatement of the dismissed mldshipmen. The hardship in their cases was admitted by some of the members of the committee and the secretary himself, it $ under stood, did not object to the plea that something should be done for some of the boys.
 His only contention was that if anything was done in this direction 1t should be accomplished by special and separate act. It is believed that at this session of congress deter mined effort will be made to secure the enactment of such law and that it will not meet the opposition of Secretary BOnaparte.

MINE OPERATORS
 ASK DISAPPOINTMENT
AND CONFERENCE WAS NOT
 HELD THIS MORNING.
ODerators Anxious to Consider Fully the Proposition for Arbitration Sub Committees Held Ses-
 sion To-Day.

New York, April A9.-At the re- quest of the mine operators the con ference between the sub-committees or the mine owners and the miners union scheduled for 1:30 D. m. to- day. was postponed until the same hour tomorrow. The two sub-com- mittees held separate sessions to-day to consider the situation as it now stands. It was announced that the postponement was requested because some of the operators had not yet had sufficient opportunity to consid CT the miners proposition for arbi- tratiOn.
 The miners committee had little to do as their latest proposition, ar- bitration, is still in the hands of the operators. Mir Mitchell and his lieI- tenants express the belief that the operators will not accept the miners offer as made, but will present an ar bitration plan radically different from the one proposed. If the op- grievances the proposition is expect ed to meet with strong opposition from many members of the miners committee. President w. H. Det- trey of Hazleton said here were many old grievances that need ad- justing. The miners are silent on the plan of having the anthracite coal strike commission again review labor conditions in the hard coal re- gions, but it is believed they would again accept the commission if it were left free to take up all matters presented. If it is agreed upon to have the commission take up the grievances it is probable the con- tending parties will ask President Roosevelt to summon the members of the commission.
 The members of the general com mittee who come from all parts of the anthracite fields and who re- turned here to-day, said they found the men at home firm in their de- termination either to remain away from the collieries until the opera tors agree to arbitration or to settle their grievances without calling in a third party.
