We have in this country, it is true,
a federal statute prohibiting the i'm

that statute is ineffective in excluding
the far more numerous ag;tators who

in England the fugitive revolutionar-

Messina, Sicily, May 12.-The
eruptions OF Etna and Stromboli vol
canoes increased as the night wore
on. Enormous volumes Of smoke
and quantities OF red hot projectiles
are being thrown from Etna in all
directions, mere are continued loud
explosions and earth shocks.
The latest reports from StromboH
declare the situation more terrifying.
A few weeks ago StromboIi was COW
cred with rich vegetation. Now the
island is stricken and desolate, ev-
erything having been destroyed by
fire or buried under ashes.
Population in Fear.
New craters have opened on Mts
Etna and Stromboli, whose eruptions
are increasing.
The observations on Messina and
Cantania continue to register earth
shocks, but they are very light.
The alarm among the population OF
the island is growing. Smoke and
flames are issuing from the main era
ter on Mount Etna. 1t is visible for
a long distance.
A portion of the main crater OF
Stromboli has fallen causing q more
active eruption. 1t seems to have at
fected the sea, whic is most agitated
near the island.
The scientists have expressed the
opinion that possibly a submarine
crater may have opened that is caus-

feet Financial Circles.
Paris, May 14.-Rumors to the eff
feet that France is about to make a
further military move in Morocco
owing to the occupation of Oudja not
being effective in bringing the sultan
TO comply with the French demands
growing out OIL the murder of DR..
Mauchamp, have really affected inan-
cial circles, who view the prospect
gloomily. No official confirmation of
the report could be obtained The
foreign office, however, has received
"a number of dispatches relative to
anarchy prevailing in the vicinity of
Morocco city, showing that the au-
thority of the sultan is virtually non
existent and the question probably is
under consideration whether it will
be necessary to intervene for the pro
lection of the Europeans. In many
Quarters a forward move in order to
compel the sultan to carry out his
obligations is regarded as only a mat
ter of time.

ing machines and providing that he
names of presidential electors may pc
omitted, and the other providing that

Elver sterilization bill, which was re
ferred to the judiciary committee
was reported for passage. The same
committee reported for slaughter the
bills cutting out the student vote in
Madison and other places, and provid-
ing for city and county initiative and

Senator Brownies resolution provid-
ing for constitutional amendment
to permit state aid for the building OF
