STEAMER LA PROVENCE
ENCOUNTERS A SEVERE
STORM WHILE AT SEA
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 19-From mid
night Tuesday night until 5 o'clock
Wednesday morning the steamer La
Provence, which arrived in port to-
day, passed through a storm which the
officers of the ship say has rarely been
exceeded in violence on the Atlantic.
At dinner time Tuesday the barom-
eter began to fall rapidly and as mid
night approached the ship reached an
area where air was so heavily sur
charged with electricity that the COM
pass became worse than useless.
Suddenly a terrific storm swept
down on the ship. Great waves broke
over the liners decks, but no rain
| fell, the night being perfectly clear.
After five hours the storm abated as
suddenly as it had come. No one was
injured, but the passengers were
badly frightened.
Captain Alix of the liner believes
the storm was the result of the same
forces which caused the earthquake
shocks in Mexico.

SAMUEL GOMPERS
PLANS BIG STRIKE
Would Have the Metal Trades of the
United States Act as a Unit
in Enforcing Their
Demands
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April ia plan by
which the metal trades of the United
States will act as unit, and, if need
be, call vast sympathetic strikes ex-
tending over the whole country, Is
suggested by President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor, who
yesterday issued a call to John Fitz-
patrick, president of the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor, who in turn called a
conference of officials of the metal
workers unions of Chicago.
The object of the plan is to have all
the contracts made with the employers
begin and terminate at about the same
time all over the country, so that in
making new agreements the unions in
this branch of industry can have the
full power of their entire national
strength to enforce their demands.
There are hundreds of thousands of
men engaged in these trades and the
power which their organizations will
have under the new scheme is enor-
nous. The plan was originated by
Gompers and is being passed out by
him to the leaders of the local FEEDER
alton of Labor which are affiliated with
the national body. These will take the
same action as that taken by the Chi
cago federation.
Within a few days the movement
will have spread all over the country
and the labor leaders will begin work
ing out the details which shall make
the system effective. Members of the
local bodies favor the idea and will
give it hearty support.

Many Scientists Believe, However, That

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, April 1o.-The
middle west is covered with
a blanket of snow tonight,
and from several cities comes re-
ports that the temperature is fall
ing rapidly. From springlike
weather of a few days ago several
states are now in the grasp of
what promises to be a genuine
blizzard.
Small fruit has suffer- extens-
lively, and in case of colder wealth
er the damage would run into the
millions of dollars.
1t is claimed by Chicago sci
entists that the storms of the last
few days are traceable to the same
source as the earthquake shocks
and other disturbances.
So far Chicago has not been
visited by anything more severe
than snow and rain storms.

PRESIDENT HAS
ANOTHER PLAN
WieIder of the Big Stick Would Have
the Government Pay Expenses
of All Nominees for
Office
By Associated Press.

CHICAGO, April ia dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
President Roosevelt is studying over
a new departure in politics which,
whether it is carried out to any prac-
tical result or act, is certain to excite
widespread discussion among public
men the country over.
The agitation for publicly of cam
paign expenses and the various laws
in the different states for the official
primary elections has caused the pres
ident to question in his own mind
whether 1t may not be ossible to de-
wise scheme by w.'ich the govern
ment may assume the responsibility,
not only for the actuCl expense of the
election, as at present, but for the
legitimate campaign expenses of the
regular nominees.
His idea is not formulated, he has
no detailed scheme in view, he is fully
aware of the complexity IF the subject
and he sees in advance the manifold
objections that will be mcde to It.
Nevertheless he believes the idea is
worth consideration and it is receiving
his earnest attention at the present
time.

SACRAMENTO, April 19.-Deputy
Schulze of the United States secret
service and two other deputies have
been in this city and at Florin for sew
eral days trying to land seven Japanese
laborers who are known to have come
into the state over the Mexican bor-

GENTLE BUT STEADY FALL
OF SNOW GREETS THE
RESIDENTS OF NEW YORK
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April ia cold wind.
accompanied by gale of snow, gave
anything. but C. springlike aspect to
the day.
Snow began to fall about o'clock
and continued steadily for several
hours, but it disappeared as quickly
as it fell. The records of the weather
bureau for the first 43 days of April
show that the temperature this month
has been Az degrees below the normal
temperature of New York.
The extreme variation in April
weather in New York is shown by the
fact that in the memorable hot day of
April IS, 1896, the thermometer re-
corded a maximum of 30 degrees.
Flurries of snow in April are not un-
usual, as shown by the fact that one
occurred as late as May 6, 1890.

Conditions in Russia
the Worst Ever

Babies Forced to Live on

Epdemles Of Disease Add to the Ter

Canned Goods Sadly
Needed
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press
LONDON, April 19.-Writing from
the Russian famine district, DR.. Ken
nard, sent by the Society Of Friends
to investigate conditions, draws an ap-
palling picture Of the suffering. He
says
This is the worst famine Russia has
known. No less than twenty million
people cannot live without aid to see
another harvest, and I may say that
this figure has been not only approved
by the zemstvo organization, but also
by the government itself. The date of
the harvest will vary with the latitude,
and the famine stricken region is
spread over such wide area Give
times the size of France) that more
than ten degrees of latitude are in
volved This means that in direct
proportion from south to north the
harvest will be from July 8 to 20.
Funds will be needed to the end of
July to feed all these millions and
then the harvest will bring relief; but
there are many hundreds of thousands
to whom the harvest will not bring
relief, for they have neither land nor
cattle.
1.-THE few COWS in existence are in
such a pitiful condition that they are
useless for milking purposes. The re-
suit is that babies and young children
are being forced to eat the coarse
black bread ana indigestible young GU
cumbers.
| Conditions Indescribabe
"The people have sold their all, and
| in most cases have likewise sold in
advance all that the harvest might
bring them. They have sold them
selves and their work. and from all
over the southeastern provinces reports
are coming in of young women and
girls forced to prostitute themselves to
obtain food.
For these suffering people relief
must be afforded during the whole of
the coming year. Meanwhile epidemics
of disease add to the terrible condi-
tions obtaining. The difficulties en-
countered in relieving these people are
made ten times worse now owing to
the practically impossible condition Of
the country roads. The winter SHOWS
are melting and projecting vast vol
umes of water in countless cataracts
toward the Volga and travel is i'm
possible"
DR.. Kennard appeals for timed milk
and timed meats and meat juices. He
adds:
"I have seen the zemstvo workers
and investigated their methods and
can vouch for it that not only is the
work being carried out in a business
like and capable manner, but the most
is made out of every farthing"

SAYS CUBA WILL
NOT FALL AGAIN
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
HAVANA, April 19.-General Jose
Miguel Gomez, who is a candidate for
the presidency for Cuba, in published
interview said that the re-estab-
lished republic will not fall again. He
said:
"It will be different from the first
experiment in that the law will be re-
spected and upheld with an iron hand.
Complaisance is good thing, but not
when it is misdirected. The sort of
republic the Liberals will maintain will
not fall. We will respect the law.
1.-THE eections will be honest l
think the Cubans unaided possess full
ability to maintain this republic to
which we look forward. We desire no
strengthening Of the Platt amend
ment such as the conservatives re-
quest, and unless the Americans fall
short in their promise the republic
will be re-established on the same
lines as the first.
"Cuban wants no protectorate. What
is Intended by the word has not been
defined, but clearly the result would be
tutelage. Cuba does not need tutor"
