CHEER NAMES OF GRANT AND
ROOSEVELT.


The name of Gen. Ulysses 8. Grant
was enthusiastically oheered by the
Grand Camp, Confederate Veterans, of
Virgins, yesterday. Thousands of other
Virgiuisns also Joined in the demonslra-
tion, and The same voices that acclaimed
the greatness Of Grant also expressed
unbounded enthusiasm at the mention
of the name of Theodore Roosevelt.
These demonstrations occurred in the
auditorium of the jamestown Exposi-
ton, crowded to its four walls with the
most enthusiastic audience that has ever
been packed 10 il. 1t was Confederate
Veterans Day as well as Creator Nor
folk Day at Jamestown.
Col. William II. Stewart, of Ports
mouth, WAS orator of the dsy, and his
references to the defd leaders and the
living was the signal for the oatburs;s.
Cheers made the great building ring
when Col. Stewart referred to the advice
of Grant to the Confederate soldiers after
the surrender at Appomattox.
The hsud clapping and hurrahing,
mingled with rebel yells, continued for
several minutes.
Lees name also Was greeted with
thuuderOus applause, but that was en-
tirely expected.
Another popular hero of the day was
Rear Admiral P. +. Harrington, U. s.
N, in charge OF the naval Interests at
the exposition. He wss one of the
speakers OF the day, and on his breast he
wore the Confederate colors over his blue
uniform.

TIE EARTHQUAKE IN SICILY.

TIE EARTHQUAKE IN SICILY.
The correspondent Of the Rome
Herald succeeded in reaching Ferruz-
zsno on horseback. He found the town
a mass of ruins, there being scarcely q
siugle house standing. The roads, or
rather mule tracks leading to the place,
have been blCtted out by lsndslides or
carried away by the foods. Each
ruined house bad been converted into s
tomb, occupied by the dead and living.
A msiorily of the survivors have fed.
Those remaining are hoping against
hope that they will be able to rescue
buried relatives. The inhabitants ere
semi-nuds, most OF them wearing the
nieht.cIotbes they had on when the
earthquake came. They are dtenchs ID
through aud through, having no shelter
from the steadily filling rain.
Mute desperation and terror are de-
pictej on their faces, and many OF them
weep silently. The parish priest is max
ing a round of the ruined bouseP, recit-
ing prayers for the dead, and admins
tering extreme uuaction to the dying.
Squads OF soldiers are engal ed in sslv-

Most of the injured inhabitants are shel

kept busy alter dirg 10 them.
A long row of bee les is awaiting idenii'

which are flooded. The torrential rain
increases the desolation and renders the
work of rescue difficult. The scenes wit

The latest reports from the affected
districts place tie number of dead at over
600 and the Injured at 900. The troops
are doing theii utmost to diminish the
sufferings of the people. They work
