THIRTY.FOUR PEOPLE KILLED.

Il w AsOA
A terrible disaster occurred early Sat
urday morning at Notre Dame de la
Salette little hamlet about eighteenmiles
from Buckingham, Canada, by which
is thought, thirty-four people lost which
their lives. The hamlet is situated at the
foot of hill, and about 2 o'clock in the
morning, when most ofthe villagers we're
in their beds, tremendous landslide &C
cured. An enormous mass of earth and
SNOW rushed down the mountain side and
ingulfed several houses, with all their
occupants. Owing to the locality of the
village and the fact that it has neither
railway, telegraph, nor telephone COM
municstioD, details of the catastrophe
are hard to get. Rfq rests have been
sent to Buckingham for twenty-five
clfins, and these have already been sent.

ROBS MOBILE STORE
BOLD THIEVES GET AWAY WITH

They Enter Place of sfms-WiIIiarmn Furniture Company Through Back Door And Rifle The
 Safe

Mobile. Dee. e-(speciall-Ente the furniture house of the sims Williams Furniture Company on west Dauphln Street by means of a skele- ton key, thieves found the safe open and extracted about $500 therefrom, leaving $50 or more scattered about.
 The thieves were prepared to blow the safe and had begun their work, a hole being bored in the safe combina- ton. when 1t Is thought, that they dis covered the safe was open.
 The robbery was not discovered until this morning when employees of the store opened for business. Money was found scattered over the floor, papers were strewn about and one glance at the safe showed that 1t had been rtfled. On examination 1t was found that the thieves had bored a hole about three-eights of an inch into the com bination of the safe. This the police think. was done with an idea of blow ing the safe, before the thieves found that 1t was open and the money was easily accessible.
 The store is conducting a big cash sale and the thieves evidently knew that large amount of money was in the safe.
 The police investigated the robbery and give 1t. as their opinion that the thieves entered by means of a skele- ton key used in the rear door. as noth- ing was found broken open. The of flee, where the safe was located, is in the extreme rear of the store and the safe could have been blown without anyone hearing the noise from the street or being able to see the thieves at work.
 The detectives have been put on the ease and several suspects are under surveillance. It is probable that ar- rests will follow.

A VOLUNTEER ARMY
ROOSEVELT ADVOCATES AN EMER-
 GENCY MEASURE.
The Draft of the BiII Accempanysng the Presidents Message is In- trOduced in Senate by
 AIF. CulIOna.

Washington, Dec. s.-An emergency volunteer army measure was advoeat- ed today by President Roosevelt in a spAclal message. sent to ConGfsss and the draft of the bill accompanying the message was introduced in the Senate by Mir. CullOm. ".
 The President says the bill is intend ed to replace the present law. which was placed on the statute books piece- meal and hurriedly. partly on the eve of the war with Spain and partly after hostilitles had actually commenced"
 After declaring the present law to be faulty and wholly inadequate to speedy and proper organization of volunteer force, the President. says the bill proposed, which was drawn under supervision of the chief of the stan of the army. has the hearty approval of the War Department.
 The message says further:
 Tt is designed to afford the complete machinery by which, should we be con- frouted with a foreign war, the exec utive power could proceed at once to transform enthusiastic and patriotic citizens into edacient and organized soldiers. Happily. there is at present no cloud upon our horizon, but that very fact affords us the best opportu- nity to proceed with delibePation and care in the preparations of laws ade- quate and indispensable tor our possi- bIe war needs"
 It Is pointed out by the President that the proposed measure would not call for a dollars expenditure during the years of peace and its enactment Into law now would merely be to place at the disposal of the executive power machinery whereby should war be threatened, the means to wage 1t could be swiftly brought into being, grounded upon the law, there must be a vast mass of detail wrought Into a comprehensive plan and ready upon the instant to be set into motion. The Congress has provided a general stan corps and built for the War College a prominent and beautiful home. but next legal step is to pass a compre- henstve volunteer act to the end that the existing agencies may work out in advance the details of Its execution"
 The proposed bill Is elastic; under its provisions a force of 100000 men could be raised as well as one of 50,- 900.
