LITTLE ISLAND
LEFT DESOLATE
Fire and Ashes From StromboIi
Have Destroyed All Traces
of Vegetation.

Messina, Sicily. May 11-Frank A.
Peret of New York. assistant director
of the royal observatory on Mount We
suvius, and the companion of Profess
scr Matteucci, the director of the OBJ
servatory during the eruption of last
April, returned here today, after bav-
ing visited Mounts Btna and Stromboli,
making important observations and
taking photographs. He said:
''The disturbances much resemble
those which preceded the Vesl,vius
eruption of last year. The smoke is
more dense and the dynamic force il,
the main craters has been increased
The roaring of the volcanoes and the
violent discharges give the impression
that strong eruptions are imminent
The eruptions of the Etna and Strom-
boil volcanoes increased as the night
wore on. An enormous volume of
smoke and quantities of red hot pro-
jectiles are being thrown from Etna in
all directions. There are continued loud
explosions and earthshocks These LAT
ter are especially severe at the Etna
observatory, which is at an elevation
of 5000 feet and only ], 700 feet from the
crater. The observatory lies above the
forest district in a zone where scarcely
any animal life exists.
The latest reports from Stromboli de-
clare the situation to be terrifying. A
few weeks ago Stromboii was covered
with rich vegetation: now the island is
stricken and desolate, everything hav-
ing been destroyed by fire or buried IN
der ashes. Every boat at the island
has been pressed into service by the in
habitants to aid I'm their escape from
the danger.

the Black Hills in 1856.

Omaha, Neb., May IA special dis
patch to the World-Herald from Lead,
S D. says.
Diligent inquiry fails to locate any
one who knew Charles H. Meyer in
1885, at the time it is alleged he was in
the Joliet penitentiary. The man who
was postmaster at Rockford i'm 1885,
where Meyer asserts he was employed
for mining company az that time, is
dead, and the Old-time hotelkeeper of
that mining camp says he never knew
that Meyer was a resident of that Vi
einity at any time.
No one identified with the manage
ment of the Annie Creek Cold Mining
company is now resident Of this sec
ton. The company has long been out
of existence, and the records have been
destroyed.
The earliest history obtainable of
Meyers residence III the Black Hills
was in 1890, and it is asserted that he
was one Of the leaders in the Annie
Creek strike in 1893, when an English
mining company closed up its business
and left the country because of labor
troubles

SAN FRANCISCO
QUIETIAG DOWN
Cars Run on Two Lines and
About 1000 Passengers
Carried in Safety.

San Francisco, May 11.-For the first
time since the commencement. of the
street car strike a week ago the United
senger traffic. During the late hours
of the forenoon and until o'clock in
the evening about 1000 men and women
were carried. Only two of twenty lines
composing the system were operated
the Suffer and Eddy street lines. Ten
cars were run with five-minute head
way from the car barn at Turk and
Fillmore streets east on Turk to the
intersection of Market and Eddy, west
on Eddy to Devisadero, south on De-
visadero to Turk and thence to Fill
more. Fifteen cars were run from the
barn at Oak and Broderick streets. out
Oak to Stanyon, on Stanyon to Page,
on Page to DevisaderO, on Devisadero
to Suffer, on Suffer to Market, and back
again over the same route.
One hundred and twenty-five nom
union motormen and conductors
manned these twenty-five cars.
Hundreds of Policemen.
About 500 policemen. a few of them
mounted, guarded the streets over
which the cars were operated. Acts of
violence occurred at various points
during the day, and boots and jeers
were mingled with cheers and shouts of
approval but no serious outbreaks
featured this first actual attempt to re-
sumo the operation of cars. Neverthe-
less, the officials of the United Rail-
roads expressed no elation at the days
results. They say that if 500 policemen
are required to make possible the car
rying of passengers in twenty-five cars
over a route two miles long, they have
no great hope that the 200 officers COM
posing the force viii be able to safe
guard 450 cars on twenty lines go miles
in length.
Arrival of Governor.
One of the most important happen
ings of the day was the arrival in the
afternoon of Governor ,Gillett, who

termine whether the calling out of the
militia is required. The governor soon
after his. arrival held a conference in
the Ferry building with Mayor
Sehmitz. Adjutant General Lauck. Gen.
erai Robert Wankowski, commanding
the Seventh regiment, national guard,
