A dispatch from Cantaing, Sicily
says that a tidal wave swept into
that port today, the result of the
earthquake disturbances. The peo-
pie on the waterfront were thrown
into an indescribable condition of
fear. The approach of the water
was seen and sharp cries of warning
rang out The people fled from the
docks. Where the sailors get ashore
boats of all kinds are abandoned
The waters came and left confusion
and damage in their wake. 1t is not
known how many lives were lost.
Many vessels were also destroyed

ASK FOR NEW
JUDICIAL DISTRICT
w. E. SOUTHARD is MAKING AN
EFFORT TO HAVE DOUGLAS
JUDICIAL DISTRICTS.

W. E. Southland, an attorney of
Wilson Creek, was in the city last
week for the purpose of trying to
secure the support of Representa-
tive Holm for a bin to divide Doug
las county into two judicial districts.
From here Mr.. Southland went to the
Sound to seek support of his bill.
Mr.. Southland says that owing to
the extreme length of the county at
torneys at ths-southern end have to
travel one hundred miles and over
to. appear before the superior court.
He would have Superior Judge R. S.
Steiner hold court alternately at
Wilson Creek and at Waterville
thereby materially cutting down the
expense of the attorneys in the south
ern end of the county. The ques-
ton OF time is also factor. To reach
Waterville attorneys from Wilson
Creek. Quincy. Coulee City and other
southeastern towns have to make a
long overland drive or take the train
for Wenatchee, change to Columbia
river steamer, and again at Orondo
change to a stage to take them to
the county seat. The trip takes near
" thirty-six hours.

NAPLES, Dec. 29.-According to
the best estimates made today fully
$4,000 people are dead as a result
Of the earthquake and tidal wave of
yesterday. King Emmanuel, who
was hunting near Naples, passed
through the stricken district today
on his way to Rome. The reports
say that fire is sweeping Messina,
which is doomed, as there is no wa
ter there. 1t is feared that there are
hundreds who are still living under
the ruins but will be roasted to
death by the flames, which are
sweeping everything in it's path. The
nations having warships handy to
Messina are sending relief parties
to assist in caring for the wounded.
The damage throughout the whole
section is said to be very heavy. The
been sustained at Stefaniconi, Mezzo-
casale, Majerto and Santalofrio,
small towns where nearly every
structure is said to have been dam
aged or destroyed. Reports are so
conflicting it is difficult to obtain a
definite idea of the number of dead.
1t is feared the death list will be
appalling.
The shocks were felt distinctly as
far north as Salerno and PetenZa. AS
far as can be learned the heavier
shocks seem to have followed the
range of the Calabrian Mountains.
The district has been shaken by
earthquakes many times.

HAY WILL LIKELY SUCCEED
GOV. MEAD At OLYMPIA
Cosgrove is to Qualify at Paso Robes
and Hay Will Be at Head Of State
Until Governors Return Program
Has Been Arranged and There is
Promise Of Harmony Among Officers.

Numerous stories have been set
aflOat at Olympia and other western
Washington points during the last
few weeks that Governor Mead
might undertake to resist any effort
of Lieutenant Governor-Elect Hay
to assume the duties of the Office.
None of these stories has been di-
rectly substantiated by Governor
Mead, who, while he has declined to
discuss the matter for publication,
has expressed in private conversation
his willingness to surrender the Office
whenever satisfied that the proposed
succession to 1t Is valid. In the alb
sence of any express provision re-
curing the oath of oflice to be taken
in the state it is believed that he
will be satisfied that Mr.. Cosgrove
has become qualified by taking the
oath in California.
This program is predicted upon
the assumption that Mr.. Cosgrove
lives until the Inauguration day and
Is able to take the oath of once in
California.
Reports of the condition of Mr..
Cosgrove continue extremely favor
able, and yesterday Mrs. Cosgrove
announced at Paso Robes that her

RAILROAD BUILDING BY
THE MIDDLE Of JANUARY
Indications Point to the Early Com
mencement of Work Not Only On

on the New Depot to be Erected In
the City of Wenatchee.

der has gone out from headquarters
that the city of Wenatchee should
be given a fine new depot and that
it should be built early this spring.
1t is a certainty that the Great
Northern fears the advent into this
territory of a rival road and is going
to make a tremendous effort to al
leviate conditions along it's line, CIV
ing the country good service and
improving it's facilities just as rapid
ly as possible. The company real
ICES that the people up the river
and in the Okanogan country feel
that they have been disappointed in
not getting the transportation when
promised and are ready to treat
with another line should an oppOr-
tunity be given. The same is true
of Wenatchee. The citizens of We
natchee believe that the business
done here justifies the company in
building a fine depot. The company
has heard the kick registered and
it is safe to say that 1909 will be
great year for railroad construction
and improvement work. Malaga is the
first to feel this improvement as a
new depot is being erected there

Mr.. Bellinger staed that the in

in company with Mr.. Champion, he
made a business trip to the coast,
and on his return home stopped off
at the apple show. Both were so
much pleased by the fine exhibit and
the excellent reports from Wenat-
chez of the profits to be made in ap-
pie growing that they determined to
make the investment, which was
closed few days ago.

There is considerable red tape yet
before work can be started on the

be introduced tonight authorizing the

tee of the council to sell the bonds.
1t will take almost month to regu-
larly pass this ordinance. Then the
next move will be to call for bids for
TIC city bonds. This will take an
ether month and it will likely be
March / before the cash from the
I'sale of the bonds can be had. After
the money Is secured then about $13,-
900 of it has to be paid into court
as payment for the damages assessed
against the city caused by the regrad-
ing of the avenue. When this is done
then the court will appoint a COM
mission to assess the benefits accru-
ing from the regarding. After the
benefits have been assessed then the
work can be started on the avenue.
If the above program is carried out

HUGE DEAL IN TOBACCO.
Disposal of 100000 Pounds Likely
TO Stop Niaht Riders.


louisville, Nov. 20-The big deal
between the American Tobacco COM
pany and the Burley Tobacco society
for the 1906 and part of the 1907 crops,
which has been hanging fire for several
weeks, was closed late yesterday. The
price agreed on In the transaction is
said to be the largest ever paid, an
average II 90 cents for the 1906. crop
and II cents for the 1907 product.
The deal involves nearly S0000000
pounds of tobacco held in the pool by
the Burnley Tobacco society and an
outlay Of something like $14,000,0o0 on
the part of the American Tobacco COM
pany, practically all of this money
being placed in circulation at once in
central Kentucky. nj
The tobacco that was sold includes
the larger part of the holding of the
Burleyy society, which was formed sew
eral years ago, and which pooled its
crops in 1905 and 1907. There was no
crop raised by the members of the as
ISOLATION in 1908 tho a number of inde-
pendents raised large crops in central
Kentucky under guard.
According to many who are in po-
sition to know, the sale of the pooled
crop will mark the end of night riding
in central and eastern Kentucky, at
least for the present, as it is thought
with these crops out of the way prac-
tically all the growers will raise tobac-
co next year The sale has nothing to
do with the crops in the Dark Dis

KAISER MAD AT SUBJECTS.
German Ruler Thinks outburst is un'
called For.

Berlin, Nov. 20. The emperor's
moods always have been an object Oh
study from hour to hour by the mem
bers of his official household, and they
have been carefully, almost painfully
watched during recent days. The re-
suits Of these observations. with a
partial report OF the emperor's con-
versations, have been transmitted to
widening circles outside the court, so
that the upper bureaucratic and Dip
lomatic officials are tolerably well in
formed as to the emperor's personal
view on the events which have been
so greatly agitating the country.
The emperor Is in constant contact
with those who long have held posts
at court-Count zu Gutenberg. the
grand marshal of the royal court, Baron
Won Reischach, master Of the horse,
CT Won KnesbeclS, master of ceremony,
Lieut.. Gen Won Plessen, adjutant to
the emperor Field Marshal Count Won
Hahnke, and the newly appointed chief
of the military cabinet, Lieut. Gen
Won Lyncker, Admiral Won Mueller and
various junior military and naval adj
jutants.
The prevailing feeling among the
members of the emperors suite is one
Of resentment at the popular outburst
against him and there is no disposition
to sympathize with 1t or excuse It,
The emperor is described as feeling
that he did not in the language of the
note he auth orized to be published in
the Reichsanzeiger. go beyond his oath
when he took the crown to faithfully
observe the constitution.
He simply reaffirmed that pledge to
Chancellor Won BueloW while under
criticism, which the Reichsanzeiger
defines as exaggerated and incorrect
The emperor regards his hereditary
and constitutional relation to Prussia
and to the federated states as un-
changed.
A committee of the party leaders OF
the reichstag decided to defer the dis
cussion of the question of ministerial
responsibility and the recent utterances
of the emperor until after the hearing
of an Interpolation on the fatal mining
disaster last week at Hamm, West
phalia, and the debate on the first
reading of the finance bills.
