TRIAL D|sC[0SEs
A CONSPIRACY

ROME, Feb 9.-During the trial of
the Marchioness of venezia, the false
niece of Cardinal Rampolla, it was dis
closed that both Count Antonelli of the
Papal guard and his wife supposed that
the adventures knew she was not re-
lated to the Cardinal. 1t is suspected
that plot existed between the An
tonellis and the Dominican monks of
San Miniato to make trouble for Cardi-
nal Rampolla and sensational devel-
opments are expected.
1t is rumored that several members
of the aristocracy and number of
clergymen are likely to be arrested. It
is learned on unquestionable authority
that Cardinal Rampolla has been sum
moned to testify in the case, but that
owing to his privileged position he Will

TIDAL WAVE RAzES
ITALIAN VILLAGE

NAPLES. Feb. "a severe storm
has caused serious damage on the Gala
brian coast. At Marina, a village, a
tidal wave swept in and practically
carried the village away. The loss of
life was slight. The wave was pre-
ceded by a torrential downpour of rain
and fierce wind. This warned the peo-
pie of their peril.
Several hundred feet of the shore
line was inundated. Several houses col
lapsed entirely. The people are still
in condition of terror and panic. One
woman is reported dead and four per-
sons are unaccounted for. The people
have sought refuge in the surrounding
hills.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Advices re
ceived at the State Department late
today added to the gravity of the Cen
trail American situation. 1t was re-
ported that the effort at arbitration
which had been going on in San Sal
vador for the adjustment of the diff

and war was impending.
Costa Rico and Salvador have Joined

Senior Salvo, the Costa Rican Minister
assured State Department officials to-
day that his Government, after COM

made representations to the opposing
Governments to induce them to refrain
from hostilities.
1t appears that each side feels that
in view of the bloodshed that has taken
place on the borders, only war car

the purpose of the four governments

SACRAMENTO, Feb. o.-The
great Yolo basin is choppy inland
sea tonight into which the water is
rushing from the Sacramento River
through the Kripp break, at point
directly opposite the southern boun-
dary line of Sacramento. The levee
is crunbling and by the constant
erosion the crevasse has widened
to more than 800 feet.
Governor Gillett has expressed his
willingness to aid in the closing of the
break through the State Department
of Public Works, but it is certain that
nothing can be done to stop the rush
of water until the river drops four or
FIVE feet.
At various points along the upper
boundary of the Yolo County the river
is running over the levee or through
old breaks. thus adding volume to the

Company yesterday in cutting a back
levee near Nixon, Yolo County, so as
to relieve the overflow on its railroad
tracks, has further complicated the
situation.
DIR. f. L. Atkinson of Sacramento
stood for hours with shotgun in hand
to protect this back levee, but a large
gang of men, under Section Foreman
J. c.. Brown, proceeded to cut it, de-
spite the protests of property owners
The result was that water from Kripp
break, which could have been confined
in a comparatively small area, has
been permitted to flow through the dis
trict in a continuous stream and inun-
date wide acreage of valuable farm
ing lands.
In the present situation, which is
simply a recurrance of high water
conditions of other seasons, the Sacra-
mento levees remain high and dry sew
eral feet above the highest water

When Brown cut the levee he assured
the property owners that the Southern
Pacinc Company would pay all damage
incurred.

BOSTON, Feb. s.-A personal friend

his cable and telegraph systems with
the big telephone systems into one
vast triplicate combine.

HAS MORE TO TELL .

Before the crOss-examination is
commenced Delmas will consume
three or four hours in concluding
her direct examination. The former
chorus girl has still much to tell of
her treatment by Stanford White and
of her communications to her hus-
band Startling revelations are ex-
pected if the court deems it admissible
for the ends of justice to allow testi-
mony concerning phases Of Whites
life in regard to other young women
OF the stage Evidence along this line
will involve number of chorus girls
in the scandal. 1t is the contention
that Thaw was told of Whites be-

his wife, and that these stories helped
to bring about the mental condition
which eventually drove him to the
killing of the architect.

'The San Francisco authori-

GuggenheimS Declare War
From Fridays Bulletin.

A new and interesting phase has been injected into the local railway situation. Evidently the trust is greatly angered over Reynolds pre- sumption in poaching on their private preserves. Word has come over the wires from Seattle to the effect that the Northwestern will cut rates, and a determined effort will be made by the Trust to put the A. c. boats out of the Alaska business.
 The Guggenheims have entirely ignored the Reynolds proposition to treat them squarely in the matter of Right of Way and Reynolds has ac- cepted the gage of battle and will fight with all his resources to not only continue his steamship line, but build railroad and make the Guggeuheim occupancy of the Territory of Alaska as warm as possible.
 This morning the Reynolds Bank tegan business, and as the paper goes to press already has nearly $lO0,0OO0O deposited by local people. The com bined resources of Reynold allied in- terests are over fourteen millions, and with the good will of Alaskans to back him up there is not the slightest ques- tlon as to the outcome of the battle

Cutter Hits Rock.

While coming from Sew ,rd yesterday the revenue cutter Manning struck a rock off Knights island, and sustained serious damages. She was travelling at high speed and when about two and half miles north of Knights island hit an unchartered rock, which caught her on the starboard bow directly uE- der the bridge. She slid from this rock onto another about 30 feet away, list ing badly
 She struck with such force that it seemed certain she was doomed snd the Jap prisoners who were on the hurricane deck, made rush for the boats, but were driven back by the officers and held until it was ascer. iained that the vessel could be released Fortunately the rock was smooth one and merely crushel in the side, where she struck, and the water tight com partments were uninjured, keeping her afloat. The damage is estimated at about s30,O0O
 Everyone aboar! speaks very highly of the efficient, cool manner in which w. w. Joines, executive officer, aud J. c. Cantwell, captain, handled the boat and crew after the accident.

gress has been made than by any other outfit in many months time.
 Col. Swanitz wired his resignation to day to the Valdez-Yukon outfit and has accepted a position with Reynolds as Consulting Engineer.
 Every skipper in Valdez, Seward and Prince William Sound have contracted with Reynolds to ship at least seventy five per cent of their freight by these steamers for period of three years, and each becomes financially interested in the enterprise. This makes the A.C. Company home line in every sense of the word, and if the Guggenheims are so dense as to suppose that Alaskans are going to nibble at their bait, they have much to learn. They will find out for once that mere millions will not suffice against the unlted com munity of req! men and women.

DOOT'ORS MIST4HES

Are said often to be buried six feet under
ground. But many times women call on
their family physicians, suffering, as they
imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from
heart disease, another from liver or kid
ney disease, another from nervous pros
tration another with pain here and there,
and in this way they present alike to
themselves and their easy-going or over
busy doctor, separate diseases, for which
he, assuming them to be such, prescribes
his pills and potions. In reality, they are
all only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant of the
cause of suffering, keeps up his treatment
until large bills are made. The suffering
patient gets no better, by reason of the
wrong treatment, but probably worse. A
proper medicine like DR.. Pierce;S FavOrite

have entirely removed the disease, there

Turks Pay $50 Up For Girls.

Advices from Tripoli depict the hor-
rors of the slave trade between Tur-
key and Tripoli. 1t is openly asserted
that it is exclusively as a source of
supply that the porte cares to maintain
the connection between Tripoli and
Turkey at all. In the regions of Ma
dai, Baghirmi, Gehra and adjacent
countries slave raiding is openly car
ried on by Arabs and Turks solely for
the supply of the Turkish market.
Turkish ships make monthly trips and
always sail by night with their human
cargo. The price of a girl between
eight and twenty is from $50 upward.
