LAVA CooLs AND ASHES FALL.
Naples Receivers From Panic and is
Cheered by King and Queen.

Naples, April Is. - Frequent deton-
ations are still heard on Mount Vesu-
vius, but family. The main crater is
gradually enlarging. The most con-
soling news is that the lava is cooling
on all sides.
Ashes are falling everywhere, houses
are collapsing and burying their occu-
pants Roads near the volcano are no
sooner opened than they are closed
again. The heaviest fall is now over
Somma, Santa Anastasia, Ponticelli
and other villages in section opposite
and distant from the city.
The people have recovered from the
panic of yesterday, are less sullen and
downhearted. 1t is largely due to the
presence of the king and queen. They
are mingling freely with the populace,
doing everything in their power to allie
viate tho condition of the injured and
mingliRg their tears with those who
have lost friends or relatives.
The inhabitants of this city are en-
during the yellow gray atmosphere OF
yesterday, which is even more oppres-
siye than before. The popular costume
of those who can afford it consists of an
automobile coat, cap and goggles, which
enables the wearer to maintain a semb-
lance of cleanliness, but the people
generally have to be contented with
paper masks and raised umbrellas The
drivers of trolley cars are wearing
masks of some transparent material
under the visors of their caps. More
shops were opened today and the city
| is slowly resuming it's normal life.
The latest reports say that 243
houses have been damaged at Portiei,
1876 at San Giovanni and Teduccio,
432 at Resina and 1000 at Tore del
Greco.
1t is impossible to determine the ex-
act number OF buildings demolished at
FORE Annunziata. 1t is estimated that
about 5000 houses in all have been
partly or entirely destroyed.
In villages on the Ottajano side OF
the mountain all the houses are dam
aged. At Nola desolation reigns, the
E.place having been almost entirely
abandoned.
A committee has been formed to col
Ilect funds and organize assistance for
Sufferers. 1t is presided over by the
Duke of Aosta. The government beads

Saturday, April 7.

Washington, April T. The house
did not indulge itself in the usual half
holiday today, but continued the con-
sideration of the postoffice appropria-
ton bill, and in the latitude accorded
under general debate the discussion
took on wide range, including rail-
way mail pay, increased pay for rural
letter carriers, the American smelter
trust and the corrupt use of money
in elections, with side lights on ma
turalization laws.
Dalzell, Republican, of Pennsylva-
MIA, called up the bill amending the in
ternal revenue laws to prevent the
double taxation of certain distilled
spirits. He asked that the bill be con-
sidered by the house as in committee of
the whole, possibly anticipating some
debate. Before he could make any
statement, the speaker had the bill
read third time, Endorsed and passed,
while general laughter over the exoe-
ditious way the speaker disposed II
legislation ran around the chamber.

No Limit on Use of Franks.

Salt Lake, April 10.-That there is
no law limiting or prescribing the char
acter of printed matter which congress-
men may authorize to be sent through
the mails under official frank, is the
gist of decision rendered here today
by Judge John A. Marshall, of the
United States District court. L. r.
Anderson, chairman of the Republican
committee of saDpete county, Utah,
was indicted for alleged illegal use Of
the frank of Congressman James A.
Tawney, of Minnesota, for Distribute

COAL TRAFFIC is POOLED.
Eastern Roads Admit They Have an
Agreement as to Rates.

Eastern Roads Admit They Have an
Agreement as to Rates.
Philadelphia, April 13.-That rates
are fixed by the Traffic association COM
posed OF vario1s coal carrying roads was
the admission drawn from railroad off
Gals at the final hearing Of the Inter
state Commerce commission investiga-
tion into the affairs and abues of the
coal trade. Through Joseph G. Searles,
coal traffic manager of the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad company, who is also
chairman of the All-Rail Traffic asso-
citation, it was learned that this orgaui-
cation not only fixes the percentage OF
tonnage allotted to each rsad, but als9
establishes the rates.
Counsel for the commission produced
the minutes OF the meeting of the Tide
water Bituminus Steam Coal Traffic as
sociation, held on September 10, 1900.
The records showed that resolution
offered BY the Norfolk & Western COM
pany permitting that company and the
Chesapeake & Ohio railroad to carry
tidewater coal at the rate of 81 25 ton
was voted down and that the rvate was
fixed at 81 40 ton. Mr.. Searles ad-
mitted that there had been an agree
ment as to the tonnage to be allowed
each road, and that, if one road ship
ped more and another less, ettlement
was made. He adds that there had
been no settlement since 189R. Mr..
Searles denied that there was an under
standing to maintain rates Letween all
rail and all water associations for the
purpose of preventing competition.

May End Race Problem.

Washington, April 10 DIR. S. Har.
ris, professor of medicine in the Uni
versity of Alabama, at Mobile, talked
to e president today about the ravages
of consumption among the negroes oil
the South. He expressed the fear, and
he added that his opinion was concur.
ed in by the medical fraternity general.
ly in the South, that the negro race
was likely to become extinct in this
country. Statistics showed, he declal.
ed, that the death rate among the mem
bers of the negro race in America was
greater than the birth rate.

Washington, April II. - When
Speaker Cannon called the house to
order today, a senate bill ratifying an
agreement with the Lower Brule band
of the Sioux tribe of Indians, in South
Dakota, was passed. The postofice ap-
preparation bill was then taken up.
The military record of General Jacob
II. Smith was the subject of a speech
by Banon, Ohio, who defended the &C.
tions of General Smith, in the Philip
pines, stating that General Wood s
achievements were complete vindica-
ton OF the case of General Smith.

creased salary for postal clerks.

Wednesday, April II.

Washington, April 1l.-Among the
many bills passed by the senate today
was one granting land on Morton is-
land, in Snake river, Oregon, to that
state as fish hatchery. Other bills
passed follow:
Authorizing the allotment of land to
natives of Alaska; prohibiting the use
of diving apparatus in the taking OF
sponges; authorizing the state of Mon
tana to select lieu lands; prohibiting
aliens from gathering sponges in Amer
lean waters.
In response to request by Tillman
to fix time for taking vote on the
rate bill, Aldrich expressed the opinion
that before the end of the week the
speeches would be so far disposed of as
enable the senate to foresee the end
of general discussion,

Washington, April 10.-For more
than four hours today Bailey held the
undivided attention of the senate with
speech in reply to Spooner and Knox,
and just before its conclusion there was
a significant suggestion from Hale indi-
eating the possibility of an understand
ing and an early vote on the railroad
rate bill.
The day was one of the most notable
in the recent history of the senate.
Very few senators were absent at any
time during the day and every seat in

Washington. April 6-Tariff railway
mail subsidies, denaturized alcohol and
enlarged postal facilities for Western
cities were the features of the debate
in the house today. What were al
legged to be the iniquities of the Ding
ley law, so far as the manufacture OF
watches is concerned, were discussed by
Rainey, of illinois, whose tariff revis-
ion speech was listened to vita much
interest. The "stand-patters" made
copious notes for the discussions on
protection which are foreshadowed.
Without touching the merits of the
postoffice appropriation bill, which
noninally was under discussion, the
house at SIS adjourned until noon to-
morrow.

Washington, April 12.-After briet
speech by Lattimer on in support Of
the house railroad rate bill, Foraker
today took the floor on that measure
and consumed practically all of the re-
mainder of the days session of the SEN
ate. He spent some time in the discus
sion of some of the amendments he has
suggested, and then entered upon the
consideration of the entire question of
railroad rate regulation, arguing
against the constitutionality of the
pending bill from various points of
view. He was frequently interrupted
by other senators. Lodge spoke briefly
in support of the practice of granting
lower rates on goods intended for export
than on those used in domestic con-
sumption.

IN THE NATIONAL HALLS OF congress
Thursday, April IL.

Washington, April r. The feature
of today's proceedings in the house OF
representatives was the speech made by
Cochran, of New York, who, under an
agreement made on a previous day, was
given an hour to elucidate the subject
of general debate on appropriation
bills. In view of the announcement
that Cochran would speak, the galleries
were crowded and very large proper
ton of the members were in attend
ance.
Cochran, after short discussion of
the fiction of general debate" and the
failure of members to attend the sit
tings of the house while subjects cover
ing the widest possible latitude we're
being illuminated, launched into de-
tense of the Hepburn rate bill and the
