StrOmbOli I'm Eruption.

A dispatch from Messins, Sicily, says
that the eruption of Mount Stromboli
was more violent yesterday and the sp-
prehension is growing.
The violence of the present disturb
ance is declared to be without precedent,
even the oldest inhabitants Of the Lipari
Islands not remembering such threaten
ing conditions. Almost all the people of
Stromboli Island have made their escape.
Ashes from the volcano have destroyed
everything on the islard.
The detonstious are heard at all the
other islands of the group with remark
able distinctness, and produce an effect
of terrific roaring. Fears are held that
the entire island of Stromboli may be
shattered and engulfed.
At the same time the activity OF Mount
Etns, on the eastern coast OF Sicily, has
increased. The column Of smoke roll
ing ont of the crater serves TO reflect the
FIRE within, and the illuminated smoke
clouds can be seen from the Catania,
Taormina aud even from the Straits OF
Messina.
The people living in the vicinity of
Mount Etna are panic-stritken. They
are AOcking to the churches to pray for
the intercession and protection of the
Virgin and their patron saints.

Alleged outrages in GUATEMALA

Puerto Cortez, May 10.-Americans
arriving here today report that the Guat-
amalan government is committing un-
speakable outrsges. Women and chill
dren are not being spared. A family of
ten was massacred by soldiers near
Guatamala City by order of the govern
meut when Jose Olizsrs, a wealthy
planter, incurred the enmisy Of the
government. When the soldiers went
to arrest him, he showed fight and they
shot him to death. Every member OF
his family was then slain. Abeliez
Crecare, one of Cabrers's political OPP
ponents was tied to a stake in the
middle of hill of poisonous ants. His
clothing was stripped from bis body and
the insects stuug him to death. The

Palace for London Paupers.

Some of London's paupers soon will be
as magniGeently housed as princes. The
revelations of extravaganza and luxury
in the Westham workhouse, which 80
astonished and alarmed London tax
payers recently, bids fair to sink into
insignificancs as compared with those
of the latest psupers' palace which is
in the borough of Hsmmersmith. Its
cost is $l,3O7, $50. This paradise of
the poor has been carried out in a
spirit oflavish and reckless expenditure.
The result is structure equal, if
not superior, to any nobleman's mansion
in the land, and vieingin many respects
with the finest hotels in London.
"Weary Willie" and "Tired Tim "
Will enter their pslatial home between
handsome screens of fitted pitch pine Of
The finest possible growth and plate
glass on 9 floor tiled with mosaic and
surrounded with dado ofencauslic ware
of the most expensive art type. The
sum Of 81 ,675 per head has been spent
for the housing Of the panpers OF HAM
mermith. The coat of the cooking
apparatus is 81 per pauper and of cleo
tricity $3.50 per annum. A system
of duplicate wiring has been introduced
similar to that which WAS rejected for
Buckingham palace few years ago on
the score OF expense.

Would Not Rent to a Negro.

Boston, May 10 --Ex Senator @.
William Kinds, of Mississippi, one of
the leading colored men of the south,
believes that the country below Mason
and Dixon's line is the place for the
negro. He reached this conclusion after
spending two weeks trying TO rent a
desirable house in Boston. Every where
says Senator Kinds, he met opposition
on account of his color; real estate agents
either repulsed him or raised their rents
to absurd figures, until finally he aban-
doued the attempt. 81 came NORTH"

if nowhere else, fair treatment for my

A DISPATCH from st. Petersburg says
it is believed in diplomatic circles that
a definite change of attitude on the part
Of Great Britain toward the question Of
discussing the Limitation of ornaments
at The Hague conference is 10 contem'
plation. 1t is not expected that Great
Britain will withdraw entirely her pro-
posal, but that by q modification Of the
presentation of the subject, she will
enable it to be gracefully shelved by the
conference without placing any of the
powers in an embarrassing position.
The proposed disarmament has met with
80 little favor by the "world powers" that
it is more than probable that the subject
will not be preached at The Hague con-
ference.

Ohio Republicans.

United States Senator Charles Dick,
chairman of the Ohio republican State
executive committee, announced yester.
day in Akron, a formal call for q con.
ference of the State central and execu-
tive committees, the chsirmen of the re.
publican county executive committees,
the elective officers and the republican
members OF Congress, at Columbus, on
May Is.
Senator Dick made the following formal
statement
"The meeting has not been called fol
the purpose of ratifying any deal OF
compromise, but to secure party har-
mony and unity Of purpose among Ohio
republicans, which, it was. thought,
could be done after full add frank ex-
change of opinion in a representative
gathering, and, finally, the adoption Of
some public expression voicipg as nearly
as may be the sentiment of Ohio re-
publicans. II is believed that such
action would sllay any dissensions which
now threaten our party strength. II
Ohio republicans are to secure the best
results in the state and in the country
they must be united. What the con-
ference will do cannot assume TO say,
but l am hopeful some action will be
taken that will restore complete party
harmony within the republican party OF
Ohio and enable it 10 realize all its
ambitions"

Z. H. HARTMAN disclosed the other
side of Union Pacific financing yeSter-
day in New York. Instead Of the $50,
600, 600 cash assets reported at the close
of the last fiscal year or just before the
declaration of the much discussed South
ern aud Union Pacific dividends, he
showed that Union Pacific required more
than $50, 900, 600 to pay its floating in
debtedness, and, with the customary
formal sanction Of his directors, an
nounced forthcoming issue of $75, 900, =
600 new Union Pacific securities. 1t
seems that there is "another side" TO
nearly all the financial statements issued
by railroad manipulators.

THE San Francisco cOnhagratiOn OF
April, 1906, swept away every dollar OF
profit previously made by the insurance
companies out of underwriting since
1860 and cost them $40, 7OS,I74 be-
sides. President G. w. Burchell, Of the
National Board of Underwriters, at the
annual meeting of that organization
made this statement, and said the total
property loss was $3.50. 900, 600. The
total loss of insurance companies was be-
tween 1920 coo, 600 and 1926, GOO, 600.
While the San Francisco loss was iremen-
dous it is thought that Mr.. Burchell has
placed the figures too high.

FRIDAY EVENING. MAY 10. 1907.

FROM President Roosevelt down, all
the Taft boomers in Washington are
talking az if they think the Secretary OF
War is as good as nominated for the
presidency as a result of the sudden COL
lapse of the Foraker Dick-Oox opposl-
ton in Ohio Wednesday, when Foraker
and Cox gave out statements committing
themselves to the support of Taft for the
nomination. The President is jubilant,
and can not refrain from telling his
callers how happy he is because his cor
pulent friend is "a winner" To the
friends of other candidates the President
has more than once declared that he has
no intention of attempting to dictate the
nomination of his successor, but he does
not try to conceal the ardent hope he
caerishos that be may ride to the Capitol
on next inauguration day in the same
carriage with William II. Taft. The
Taft people declare unanimously that
the surrender of the Foraker Dick crowd
was unconditional; that 10 deal had
been made with them by the Secretary
of War or his representatives in Ohio,
and that they had given up the fight for
the simple reason that the sentiment for
Taft among the rank and file of Ohio
republicans was 50 overwhelming they
realized it was suicidal longer to stand
out against it. Tsf'S supporters predict
the effect of the collapse Of the opposi-
ton to his nomination in his own State
will csuse his boom to spread like wild
fire in other States from this Oh, and
that the so-called reactionaries will not
be able to make further Roadway in any
quarter.

Bring Lees Body Back to Virginia.

Bring Lees bOuy back 10 virginia
The Georgia Society of New York city
has forwarded letter to Governor Swan
son, in which reference is made to Ma
jor General Henry Lee, a Virginian,
born in 1856, and who served in the
revolutionary war. General Lee was on
trip to Bermuda and on the return to
Virginia he was taken i'll and the ship
put into Georgia port and the sick man
was taken to private home. He died
in 1918. The body was buried at
"Dungeness," and has lain in the soil
of that State since that time.
The Georgia Society, approaching the
fsc! that the dust Of the hero lies in that
State, express the belief that the body
should be exhumed and returned to the
State which gave him birth and which
he honored by conspicuous military ser
vice. both on land aud sea. The society
suggests that the body be removed, that
the pstriotc societies of the country
unite in paying tribute 10 his worth and
patriotism, and ask that President Roose-
welt, the governors of the original States
and all other bodies interested in the
early history of the government act in
concert and join 10 the proposition to
build a monument to the memory OF the
illustrious dead.
The letter suggests that the battleship
Georgia bring the body from Georgia to
some Virginia port and that the body be
buried at such place as shall commend
itself to the good judgment of the several
bodies TO unite in tue project.

Strike Situation in New Work

New York, May lO.--Leaders of the
striking longshoremen whose refusal to
work has practically crippled harbor
shipping all the week declared today
that the powerful tesmesters' union will
join them in the strike and that before
night every vessel in port would be tied
up. If the teamsters do quit work it
will mean the greatest strike New York
has seen 10 many years. If the team
sters join the strikers they will refuse to
handle freight TO the steamship lines
which are in disfavor with the longshore-
men. Business haO suffered heavy loss
owing TO the partial tie-up, and business
men are becoming disguised with the
situation.
The strikers have pickets placed on
guard watching for the arrival of the
strike breakers. Any attempt to march
them on to the docks is certain to result
In violence.
Today the shipping companies charged
that the police are in sympathy with the
strikers and are not giving them the pro-
lection they need. Squads of police guard
the docks, but there are not enough of
them at any place to cope with con-
certed attack by The thousands of strikers
along the river fronts, and it is feared
serious outbreaks may occur at any mo-
ment
Today the Sound Steamship Lines
were hit by the strike. Three hundred
men of the Fell RIVER joined the strike.
The providence line was also somewhat
affected.
