Uncle Sam Is Getting the Worst of
the Present Advancement

VIC fiSo~HA arrangements
Acting under instructions from the
state department, Edwin Morgan, min
lister at Havana, has been in confer

foreign Office for some time past with
the purpose of framing a new reciproc-
ity treaty to replace the existing con.

drafted that may be ready for submits

CATTLE MORTGAGES VOID.
Kansas City Live Stock Exchange Is :
Trust.


Trust.
1t has been decided by the Kansas
supreme court in the case of State
versus Wilson, that the Kansas City
livestock exchange is a trust and that
all mortgages on cattle made through
members of that exchange are invalid
Nearly all the cattle mortgages is
sued through the members of the ex-
change contain the provision that a
commission of at least so cents a head
shall be charged. This is sufficient to
constitute a trust according to the
decision, and all the notes and mort
cages are absolutely void. The de-
cision of the lower court was unani-
nous. Millions of dollars worth of
cattle paper will possibly be affected
by the decision. Wilson had been
convicted of obtaining money under
false pretenses and sentenced to five
years in prison.

Pittsburg-There were no develop

bituminous coal fields reported here
Sunday, and while in the .Pittsburg
district 80 per cent. of the miners
have returned to work, the storm cen
tiers, which have been in other dis

there is every evidence that the men
at these points will soon be at work.
At Philadelphia the miners and all
other classes in the hard coal region
are anxiously awaiting the reply of
the operators to the miners request
for arbitration.
At Scranton, Pa, so delegates, rep

NAVY YARD JOBS GO BEGGING.
Secretary Bonaparte Finds Difficulty
in Fillinu Positions.


In three months which ended March
81, 243 persons either resigned their
employment at the navy department
or in navy yards. or refused to accept
positions under the navy department
after being certified by the civil SER
vice commission to the secretary. The
percentage is unusually large and Sec
rotary Bonaparte is worried about the
lack of desirable new employees. The
positions vacant command salaries
ranging from $500 to s140O a year and
the failure to fill the places is due
chiefly to the provision of the law
that a certain quota of employees must
be taken from each state. The pay in
the navy department is lower than in
many other departments.

LATER REPORT.

The hope that Mount Vesuvious was
becoming calm was dissipated Sunday
when the volcano became more active
than ever. The panic has spread to
Naples. Two strong earthquake
shocks which shattered windows and
cracked the walls of buildings were
experienced. The entire population
rushed to the streets in terror.
No trace remains of Boscotreze
where a few days ago 10000 persons
lived; and Toree Annunziata, on the
shore of the Gulf of Naples, is almost
surrounded by the invading lava and
has been evacuated by its 10000 in
habitants. The people were brought
to Naples by trains, street cars, milk
carts and tram ships.
The police and carbineers are guard
ing the abandoned houses, and several
members of the government also are
there.
A telegram received from the mayor
of San Sebastiano, a village near the
observatory on the northwest declivity
of Vesuvius, says that lava is ap-
preaching rapidly and that the people
are terror stricken. They have been
for some nights without sleep, he says,
and are destitute and beg that assist
ance be given them.
The work of succor is hampered. ow-
ing to thte delays to the railway serv-
ice, which is interrupted by red hot
stones, thrown TO a height of 5000 feet,
falling on the tracks.
AS yet it is impossible to count the
craters that have opened and from
which streams of lava have flooded
the beautiful, prosperous, and happy
land lying on the southeast shore of
the Gulf of Naples.
The atmosphere is heavily charged
with electricity, and at times the
flashes of lightning are binding.
DesolatIon at Naples
The City of Naples bears an aspect
of desolation, everything being cover.
ed with ashes from the volcano.
The lava destroyed few houses in
the suburb of Tore Annunciata. and
also the cemetery there. Then, for.
tunately, the flow ceased, as it did also
at Tore del Greco.
At Pompeii the rivers Of lava are
less rapid.
Incancescent matter has set fire
to the village of San Giuseppe.

WESTERN ARIZONA.
A Reopening of the Ore Body In the
 Bonanza.


 About the best mining news that has come to this section for years, says the Wickenburg News Herald is the re- port of the discovery of the lost ore body of the old Bonanza mine at Har- qua HaIa. once famous as one of the richest gold mines in the territory, having shared that distinction with the great Vulture mine, which, it is said, will be started up again before many moons will have passed, in which event an era of unprecedented activity and prosperity in the great central Arizona mining belt will result.
 The discovery of the long lost ore body of the Bonanza is of more inn portance to this section than any other occurrence of recent years, in view of the fact that it demonstrates beyond the shadow of a doubt that Arizona mines go down to great depth, and gives the mining man an insight into the best methods of developing the mines in the region of the great frac- tured belt which extends from beyond the OBIien properties in Black Rock in a westerly direction crossing the Colorado river This is from three to fifteen miles wide and includes the world famous Yellow Aster mine in California, the Vulture and Bonanza mines in central Arizona. Among the coming mines in this highly mineral ized section which are about to be opened up extensively are the proper ties of the Venus Mining company and the Vulture Canyon Mining company. There are numerous other rich and permanent mines of the future await ing the recognition of capital which, when it does awaken to the fact that central Arizona is one of the richest sections of this great country of ours, will surely make something happen.

The company ne- glected to do certain work required by law, and the property is now held by
 MT. Crowell. and associates who have fully complied with the law.
