Iects by continuing in this noble manner
the traditions OF the house Of Savoy, which
makes the sovereign actually share in all
tho sufferings Of his people,
People with tears in their eyes watched
he departure of the king and queen, while
a veteran, pointing to his majesty, said:
This is worthy of the son of King
Humhert, who, 1 remember, r1sked his life

MessIna RaEed to Ground.
The premier has received a telegram from
signor Felice, a deputy at Messina, sum
ming up the situation as follows:
"Messina Is completely destroyed-razed
to the ground. The victims may be num-
bered by tens Of thousands. The conflagra-
ton, which Is stifl raging, is completing
the destruction of the city. Salvage imple-
ments, firemen and soldiers must be sent

Imagination"
The volcano OF stromboli is active and
the seas around the island are very agi-
lated and dangerous to navigation.

at Palermo a large sum Of money and in

despite the torrential ~downpour of rain.
News reaching Catanzaro from thei outly-
ing districts in Calabria indicates that
thirty-five towns and villages have been
wiped out, with the number of dead in that
district alone exceeding 10000. The few
survivors are mad with terror and have
fled to the forest-clad mountain slopes,
where they are subsisting on roots and the
bark OF trees.

Vessels Bring Injured in Large Num-
bers to Naples.
NAPLES. Dec. SO.-The appalling magni-
tude of the tragedy in the south Of italy
is being brought home to the people Of the
north, by the arrival here of refugees,
wounded and unscathed from Messina. The
fact that dying people have to be brought
such a distance for medical attention shows
the immensely of the disaster and the in
adequacy OF the relief measures at pres
ent possible.
The German steamer seraphin came into
Naples early this morning with 300 ref
ugees. The wounded are all in the cabins
and their condition is pitiable. A few of
them have had their heads and limbs BAN
daged, but many rave not yet received
medical attention. The Seraphin had to
come to Naples because all the hospitals in
the principal towns Of Sicily are overflow
ing. 1t is expected that by tomorrow riRht
fully $1,000 injured persons will have made
their way to this city, coming by merchant
men and warships. The municipality, real
'izing the difficulty Of coping with such tre-
mendous responsibilities, has addressed an
appeal to the local population, asking the
people of Naples 10 suceor and give hos
pltality to the unfortunate Sicilians. Sew
eral buildings are being prepared to serve
as provisional hospitals.
Just as the Seraphin was leaving Messina
a man made his way to the dock and
called again and again for his wife and
children. The people on board listened at
tentively. Then from the vessel came the
cry In a woman's voice:
II am here. 1 am here"
"Are the children there?' came from the
dock4
'Yes, we are all here the woman re-
piled. SOC
But there was no note of Joy from the
unfortunate mother. Her heart could hold
no happiness after the experiences of the
night.

Little Rock, March 17.-United States Senator Jeff Davis told Lewis Rhoton, prosecuting attor- ney for the Sixth Arkansas judi cial district, all the things he de- clared he would tell him Ito his teeth" yesterday, at Perryville, but did not wait until Rhoton might also enter into the telling. Senator Davis began his speech at 10 o'clock, and as soon as he finished left for Bonneville where he was scheduled to speak today. Senator Davis speech was little different from that delivered at the beginning of the campaign, at Ozark, except that he defied Prosecuting Attorney Rheton to indict him, declaring that Rhoton knew he was unable to secure any such indictment.
 He paid considerable attention to the prosecution of boodlers, saying that if he had had the in formation Rhoton professes to  have he would have secured a conviction every fifteen minutes until every boo dler in the Ark ansas Legisla was in the penitentiary.
 At the conclusion of Senator Davis speech he left the speak CTS stand and proceeded immed- lately to his home. A large number of his followers accom- panied him. Rhoton then deliver ed his speech to those remaining, dealing with Senator Davis re- cord without gloves. He repeat ed every charge he had made in this city directly after his re- turn from Washington, and ad-
