SAY D0WIE IS DYING
RUMORS FROM ZION CITY HINT END
is NEAR
Affection in Lower Limbs Said to Be
Spreading to Body and Heart
Can't Escape.

WAUkEGAN, ILL.,, May 12.-From
Noliva's camp and from the servants at
Shiloh house comes a report that John
Alexander Dowie Is spending his last
hours on earth. 1t was stated that the
affection of his lower limbs had begun
to extend to his body, and that when it
reaches his heart. in a day or two, his
followers expect him to die.
Elder W. II. Gay of Boston, who ac-
companied Dowie to Zion City on his
return, and supported him in an ardent
manner until recently, deserted the aged
apostle" in the morning. He wrote a
letter to Noliva, beseeching forgiveness
for his actions, and asking for the pray
erS of the Iionists for his success in an
other church. He was closeted with No-
Iva for a short time, and then took a
train out of Zion
Gay was the first to inform Voliva of
the precarious condition of Dowie' 5
health, which later was confirmed by in
quiries among the servants at Shiloh
house. During the last week they have
suppressed news on that subject, but
finally admitted that the health of the
deposed leader is failing fast. He hardly
has been able to leave his bed for sew
eral days, and cannot take any but
liquid food. Elder Gay said he was sur
prised to find him alive yesterday morn

quakes. but its neighbor, New Zealand,
has been visited by 800 in forty-three
years. The Dutch East Indies are as
is we'll known, a region of both vol
canoes and earthquakes.
Along the Andean System.
To refer to the Western Hemisphere
again, it has been recognized by various
biologists that the Windward and Lee
ward Islands of the West Indies are
part of the continuation of a spur Of
the Andes. The seismic belt which be-
gins in Venezuela continues along the
reefs and basins into these islands. The
descent Of the Andean system is rapid
to the coast of La Guayra, and thence
to the depths Of the Caribbean.
Throughout the Windward and Lee
ward Islands the frequency of quakes
is high, but the intensity is seldom
great. About forty miles north of the
Island of st. Thomas is the deepest
abyss in the Atlantic. San Domingo.
Jamaica, the eastern part of Cuba and
Porto Rico are frequently shaken, and
their seismicity may be put, according
to the authority quoted, into relation
with the fact that the sea-bottom in
the vicinity of those islands is one of
the most rugged and highly diversified
In its profiles of any part of the earth.

ed that these are seIsmoiogic Observa-
tons, made of those shocks which were
perceptible to the human senses with
out the aid Of instruments.
The study of the geographical dis
tribution of earthquake centers brings
out some significant facts, but at the
same time it fails to account satisfac-
torily for some phenomena observed.
AS has been remarked, earthquakes are
divisible into two classes, volcanic and
tectonic, according to their causes. 1t
is not always possible, however. to de
clare with confidence to which Of these
classes a particular quake should be
assigned.
One Of the significant facts when
ever the question of class arises Is the
situation Of the epicenter with respect
to an active or recently extinct vol
cano. Close proximity to a volcano
raises Il presumption that the quake
is of volcanic origin. Tectonic Quakes
also have certain characteristics which.
though not always exclusively exhibited
by them, are much more common with

PULlJANOS AGAIN
OUT ON RAMPAGE.
Rebels on Island of Samar Kill and
Wound Many Natives-To Ex-
terminate Band.

MANILA, May 12.-The following
dispatch has been received from Acting
Gen. Cinco of the island of Samar:
"a band of twenty-four Pulijanos,
having five rifles and other weapons,
entered Inabangan by the Rarrio
Wright Wright Ward, named in honor
of former Gov. Wright, today, killing
one and wounding seven residents, burn
ing and looting thirty-siX houses and
taking over twenty residents prisoners.
Troops, constabulary, policemen, and
volunteers are pursuing the band"
George Curry, governor of Samar,
who is here on his way to BaguIo, prov
ince of Benquet, the summer capital, to
consult with Gov. Gen. Ide, says that
all the presidentes of Samar will short
ly call on the governor general and in
dOrse the policy of determination of the
rebellious natives, which is supported by
the peaceful inhabitants of Samar.
Gov. Curry has received a cable mes
sage from President Roosevelt congrat-
ulating him upon his escape at the fight
with Pulijanos at MagtaOn recently.

BECHTEL is NOT GUILTY
Elk president of Life Insurance Company
Acquitted-Minneapolis Jury Re-
quires Less Than Two Hours.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, May 12.-It
took a jury less than two hours last
evening to determine that William +.
Bechtel, former president of the North
western National Life Insurance COM
pany, was guiltless of the charge of mis-
appropriating the funds of the company
for his own use.
1t was o'clock in the afternoon when
Judge Brooks gave the case to the jury
and it was hardly 6 o'clock when the
jury, after two ballots. filed into the
courtroom and reported that the defend
ant was not guilty of the technical
charge of grand larceny in the first de-
gree.
The charge on which Mr.. Bechtel was
tried was that he had used $500 of the
company's funds, while he was its presi-
dent, to pay a certain fee which he
owed, and of not keeping an account of
the money so used.

BURN EFFIGY OF BONI.
Second Image Is Then Guillotined in
Cemetery After Midnight by
Constituents.

PARIS, May 12.-Although Count
Boni Castellane was elected to the cham
Der of deputies from the department
of the lower Alps, his majority was so
small that the feeling against him runs
high, and many claims Of fraud are be-
ing made Thursday night the minor
ity, numbering several thousands, burned
at the stake an efligy of the young dep
uty, and then made another and guilIo-
tined it in a cemetery at midnight after
dragging the figure through the streets.
The opposition is due mainly to Count
Castellane's inactivity in the chamber
and his ineffectiveness during the pas
sage of bills disliked by his constitu-
ents, but the speeches made against him
also referred to his divorce proceedings
and called attention to the disgrace of
an honest French laboring community
being represented in the chamber of dep
uties by a gay rounder."

AMNESTY is CRY
OF LOWER HOUSE.
Violent Scene Enacted in Russian Par
lament and Galleries Join
in Applause

ST. PETERSBURG, May 12.-3 p.
m.-The feature of the second session of
the lower house of Parliament today
was frantic demonstration in favor of
amnesty.
When among Il mass of cougratula-
tory messages from all parts of the en-
pire were read, several from political
prisoners in Jail or in exile in Siberia,
the members, except n little group on
the extreme right, rose, cheering in
body, the galleries joining in the APP
plauSe.
Cabinet Sends Assistants.
A motion was presented to send re.
plies to the messages, but this was de-
clared to be out of order. Neither Pre-
mier GOremykin nor any other member
of the cabinet was seated on the minis
tCrlal benches, which instead were occu-
ped by their assistants.
There was considerable confusion
about the procedure, emphasizing the
necessity for a code of parliamentary
rLles, which is being drawn up.
The baloting for vice presidents to-
day resulted by 42S against 361 votes in
the choice Of the combination ticket de-
termined upon last night, namely Prince
Peter DOlgorouk0ff, and professor erode
skull of kharkof.
Reply to Throne Is Coming.
The drawing up of the draft of the
reply of the house to the speech from
the opening of parliament has not yet
been completed for submission to the
house. The constitutional democrats in
vited two representatives of the peas
ants one Pole and one Jew to participate
in drawing up the draft, in order to Sc
cure solidarity. The main difference of
opinion is in the wording of the intima
ton to the Emperor that the council of
the empire, as constituted, is an anach-
rOniSm.
The reply viii declare for a conStitu-
tional monarchy, with full parliamentary
rights; responsible ministry chosen
from the majority, full amnesty for po
litical prisoners. universal suffrage,
equality before the law and the aboli-
ton of the death penalty.
The Social Democrats and other pro-
lctariat organizations have ordered a
administrative one days strike on the
Russian May day, May IA. 1t will how
ever, be of Il peaceful character and no
efforts will be made to compel the work
men who do not desire to participate to
leave their work.
Witte Is in Upper House.
The surprise of the day in the upper
house Friday was the reading Of an an
nouncement that Count White was q
working member of the council, the
omission of his name from the previous
list having been interpreted as a DELHI
crate slight, which the Emperor evident
ly took pains to correct.
The unexpected appearance of the tall
form of the former premier at the door
was the first intimation of the Emper-
or's action, and it created a buzz of
excitement. The explanation of his APP
pearance only came later when ukase
was read appointing Count Witte and
NJ. Manukin, former minister of justice,
to be members of the council of the en-
pire.

CREW BATTLES ON
AN OCEAN LINER
Kaiserin Auguste Victoria's Hands in
Furious Melee While at Sea-
One Is Killed

LONDON, May 12.-On the arrival
of the new Hamburg liner,
Kaiserin Auguste Victoria at Dover, late
Friday on it's first voyage to New York,
details of a desperate ARRAY which oc-
CURED among the crew just prior to
sailing from Hamburg yesterday We're
obtained from an eye witness.
There were 100 of the liners crew en-
gagged in the melee, which was almost
like a pitched battle, and resulted in one
man being killed, while nine OF the most
seriously injured men had to be landed
and taken to hospital
Aftermath of a Strike.
The trouble commenced after midnight
on Wednesday, when large number of
the crew were gathered on the well deck
at the fore part of the ship. In con-
sequence Of the seamen's strike at Ham
burg the crew of nearly 600 is of
mixed nationalities. Trouble appears to
have arisen through some strong words
on the question of the strike. From this
the men went on to use diSparaglng cpl
thets concerning the different natiOnali-
ties. Knives were drawn by some of the
foreign sailors, and almost at once the
men were a surging, shrieking mob.
The eye witness from whom the par
ticulars were obtained said: 1.-The ma
jority of the passengers had turned in
for the night. but l was taking walk
round the deck, when | heard q tremen-
dous noise forward. l hurried there, as
L could hear shrieks and cries in Eng
fish.
Mass of Seamen in Battle.
"When l got to the well deck | saw a
mass of seamen engaged in a tremendous
fight. | could see the flash of knives,
while others were striking out with iron
bars. 1t was as il the Englishmen
among this portion of the crew We're
making a fight with the combined foreign
element.
The officers at first could do nothing
to quell the men, who We're absolutely in
furia ted and fighting like demons. Two
of the Englishmen were bodily thrown
overheard by their opponents, who con-
siderably outnumbered them.
Eventually the officers got some of
the crew from other parts of the ship,
and by showing the greatest pluck and
determination they succeeded in quelling
the melee. I attempted to part some of
the men, but got a heavy blow on the
jaw for my trouble

UNPOPULAR TWOPENCE FINE.
Agitation in Vienna Against Penalty
for Coming Home Late.

Agitation in Vienna Against Penalty
for Coming Home Late
Tired Of paying twopence to get into
10 O'Clock at night, many good citizens
of Vienna have been agitating for an
extension Of CLOSING time" at least
until IL o'clock, says the Pail Mail
CLOSING time), with its accompanying
"Sperrgeld" (entrance money!, is one
peculiar to Vienna. 1t obtains in no
other capital or big city on the CONT
nent, although they resemble the Aus
trian capital in that their residences
are practically all fiat houses. But in
all these cities the tenants are provided
with house keys Only in Vienna must
those who are out after 10 o'clock ring
up the porter and pay twopence before
they can get to their own apartments.
Similarly, too, anybody wanting to
leave the house between that time and
6 o'clock the next morning, be he Wis
itor or tenant, must pay the same toll,
which is the perquisite Of the porter.
And not only is the house door lock-
ed, but all lights in halls and stair
cases are put out precisely at 10 o'clock
and the late home-comer must grope
his way upstairs with the aid of wax
taper stuck In a bit Of cardboard,
which drops grease spots impartially
on clothing and stairs.
It is this locking-up time which
gives Vienna streets at night the as
pect Of country lanes, which strikes
every foreign visitor. In no other Eu-
ropean capital are the streets SO dull
and empty long before midnight
While, however, thousands Of people
complain of the nuisance and the ex.
tortion involved by this ridiculous Gus
tom, it is upheld strongly by the land
lords and city authorities-by the land
lords because the "Sperrgeld" enables
them to get house porters for little
more than lodging quarters, and by the
authorities because the locking up of
the houses affords immense protection
against burglaries and night crimes
generally and a consequent saving In
police duties. In fact, it is almost
solely upon the ground of the public
safety that the government has now
again refused to permit any abandon
ment Of this peculiar custom or even
any extension Of the hour Of locking up.
"Sperrstunde" and "Sperrgeld" orig
mated in the troublous times of 1S4S,
when the government used the house
porters very much as the Russian po-
lice still use the "dvornik," for the pur-
pose of spying upon the occupants of
their houses. Those times have long
since passed, but with true Austrian
conservatism "Sperrstunde' and "Sperr-
geld" remain, and promise to do so for
some time to come.
