Of terrorism which the fighting organ
ization of the Social. Revolutionists de-
clared Immediately after parliament
was dissolved seems now to have be-
gun in earnest. From all parts of the
empire the telegraph brings the same
story of attacks on police officials of
all classes, accompanied in the major
ity Of cases by plumber. The Polish
revolutionists are especially active.
There is a veritable reign of terror
from the Vistula to the German from
tier. More than fifty cases of assas-
sination We're reported for the day.
The resumption of terroristic activ-
ity on a large scale renders the task
Of the government more difficult and
darkens the prospects of the present
ministry in accomplishing anything in
the direction of an amelioration Of the
situation. While for the moment the
campaign of the terrorists is bound to
increase the revulsion of the more
conservative public opinion against
the wild excuses of the extremists it
is at the same time certain to force
the government to redouble the meas
ures of repression, which, it is
claimed, will in the end drive public
sympathy back to support almost any
means of relief.
Some of the dispatches from Po-
land assert that the outbreak of terror
ism is in retaliation for the wholesale
arrests and repressions of the gov
errors general.

CANNON is ENDORSED
ILLINOIS CONGRESSIONAL CON.
VENTIoN FAVORS SPEAKER
FOR PRESIDENT.

Danville, ILL.,, Aug. 17.-Joseph G.
Cannon, speaker of the national house
Of representatives, was renominatcd
unanimously for congress by the Re-,
publican congressional convention
here. He was also endorsed for presi-
dent in 1908.
The speech which Mr.. Cannon de-
livered to the convention after his
nomination by reclamation was in the
nature of a reply to Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, in the labor crusade over
the anti-injunction bill and leaves no
room for doubt as to the nature of the
appeal which will be made to the peg
pie during the coming congressional
campaign for the continuance of the
Republican party in power. The key
note sounded by Speaker Cannon was
to stand pat" He stated emphatical-
ly that the tariff should be revised
only when revision would do more
good than harm to the great mass of
people.
Speaker Cannon met the labor mat
ter which vexes many districts with
characteristic boldness. He scored
numerically the measure which was
introduced in congress with the sane
tion Of President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor and
which in substance prohibits the
United States courts from issuing in
functions in any case between en-
ployer and employee unless necessary
to prevent irreparable injury for which
there is no adequate remedy at law.

and people 1t Valparaiso and Santiago
are taking organized steps to relieve
suffering, car for the wounded and
bury the dead. The period of succor
has entered.
Dispatches from Chile tend to show
that the first estimates of casualties
and material damage had been great
~ exaggerated and that the people of
Valparaiso are becoming calmer. The
fear of further shocks has been re-
moved by a statement issued by the
observatory and Monday it became

Number of Dead Unknown.
1t is still impossible to reach any
correct estimate of the dead and in

most conflicting. A large section of
the country, however, was visited by
the catastrophe of last Thursday and
cable estimates of casualties refer in
some instances to particular localities,
notably Valparaiso, and in others evil
IDENTIFY to the entire district which suf-
fered from the shock. The number
of dead in Valparaiso will doubtless
run into the hundreds and the entire
country into the thousands. The prop.
erty damage is estimated at from
$500, 900, 900 to S300, OO0, 900.
Relief is being organized with sys-
tenn and the government has taken
complete control. The foreign lega-
lions are active in their relief meas
ures as are private persons, and the
greatest energy is being devoted to
getting in supplies for the destitute.
The government has authorized the
provincial governors to spend all the
money necessary for the relief of the
needy in their districts.

c1pal streets are mere heaps of ruins.

UItImatum Of the United States,

BY Associated Press.
HAVANA, Sept. 26.-The government
party tonight abandoned its basic con-
tention that 1t is impossible to treat for
peace with armed rebels, and proposed
to negotiate directly with committee
of it's opponents.
1t agreed to leave all points upon
the final arbitration of Secretaries
Taft and Bacon.
The government first suggested that
IL would treat with the Liberals If they
would lay down their arms but the
American commissioners ruled that this
stipulation was unfair, and the mode
rate representatives now take this view.
While this phase of the controversy
was wholly unexpected Secretary Taft
was greatly pleased Herewith and
made the following statement for pub
lfcation:
my impression is that we are much
nearer solution of the trouble tonight
than we were last night"
1t was announced also that negotia-
tions to be opened between the COM
mittees representing the opposing par
ties would be without reference to the
terms previously proposed.
The time and place for the first meet
ing is to be determined by Secretary
Taft tomorrow. 1t is beyond question
that both parties were brought to a
more tractable frame of mind by the
verbal ultimatum issued by Secretaries
Taft and Bacon today in the name of,
President Roosevelt, that unless they
consented to- fair arbitration the
United States must compel the same by
a temporary military occupation.
Such occupation, it was declared.

elections had been held, the new gov
ernment firmly established and order
restored
Within an hour of the receipt of this
ultimatum the Moderate assembly
