New Shocks Cause Panic.

Rome, Jan. IA slight earthquake
shock was experienced at an early hour
this morning throughout Lombardy,
venetia and Tuscany. No damage was
done, and no one was injured, but ow-
ing to the general uneasiness resulting
from the recent visitations in Calabria
and Sicily, the people for a moment
We're thrown into condition bordering
on panic. According to the records
OF the observatories, and especially the
establishment maintained at Florence
by the Jesuit Fathers, the center of
the disturbance was near Lembach.

SAIL WITH FLEET.
Son of Turkish Ruler viii Probably
Return With BattIeships.

Constantinople, Turkey, Jan. H.
Great excitement prevails among Turks
on account of the visit of the American
fleet to Turkish waters. Four battle
ships are now at Smyrna, and four
more are coming to remain until Janu-
airy "a. Admiral Schroeder, second in
command, is coming to Constantinople
IN the battleship Louisiana. One of
the sultan's sons probably will go with
the squadron to America, and it is re-
garded as certain that 80 Turkish Off
GERS will go.
The grand vizier, naval minister and
naval circles generally are intensely
interested in the visit of the fleet, as
this will be the first occasion since the
revolution when warships of great
power have entered the Ottoman ports.
Authorities are anxious to impress the
visitors with the fact that they are
thoroughly civilized now, and that
Turkey is on the road to become one of
the great naval powers of the world.
The American vessels will carry the
Turkish officers ss guests, two officers
gong on each battleship.

AFFAIRS SET RIGHT.


Gomex 10 tie inaugurated President
of Cuba January %.
Havana, Jan. 10. On January 28 al
noon the Cuban people will come into
their own for the second time at the
hands of the American government.
1t was on May 20, 1909, that the Amer
lean flag, hoisted after the war with
Spain. was hauled down in favor Of the
blue-striped, single-starred ensign Of
Cuba.
Then. in September, 1906, com
pany of marines landed at the palace
from the United States cruiser Denver,
and halted victorious revolutionary
army on the outskirts Of Havana, and
American intervention, which first
came against foreign power, was
once more a reality, this time to set
things right among the Cubans them
selves.
The members of the Cuban congress
had become different and for months
prior TO the revolution it had been i'm
possible TO secure the attendance Of a
quorum. This necessitated govern
ment by presidential decree, and it was
quickly followed by the cry that Presi-
dent Palma was assuming the role Of
dictator. The American provisional
governor, Charles r. Magoon, has done
all that It was possible for him to do
TO prevent recurrence of this state Of
affairs by decreeing that congressman
who do not attend the sessions shall
not receive pay. These rules, how
ever, have already been declared dicta-
torial by the congressman, and an at
tempt undoubtedly soon will be made
to repeal or amend them.

SANTA re FINED.
California Railroad Commission En-
forces Rate Law.

San Francisco, Jan. 13.-The Santa
Fe Railroad company was found guilty
before the State Railroad commission
today of carrying oil shipments be-
tween Bakersfield and this city at a
lower rate than that fixed by state
law and fined 5000 by unanimous
vote of the commissioners. The COM
pany was also adjudged guilty on six
other counts charging unjust rate dis
elimination, but no penalty was fixed.
The specific charge on which the
commissioners acted was that the rail
road company had carried oil shipments
from Bakersfield to this city for the
Associated Oil company at 25 cents a
barrel, whereas the legal rate fixed by
the board is 1878 cents barrel.
The board also found the Southern
Pacific company guilty of rate discrim-
nation on six counts, but no penalty
was fixed, as the board declared no
proper legal foundation for the pro-
cedure had been laid by the previous
board of commissioners.

Overland Traffic on Central Pacific
Stopped by Floods.
San Francisco, Jan. 16. - ey ond the
destruction of the Southern Pacific
company's bridges at Sacramento and
the Western Pacific crossing near
there, the damage resulting from the
great rain storm which has deluged the
central part Of Cal fornia for the last
week is slight. The danger is not
over, however, If the rain continues,
though apparently the storm is ceasing.
So far very little of the grain land
in the Sacramento and San Joaquin
vallegys has been inundated, and the
crest of the flood has passed several of
the most dangerous points.
The principal danger is also at Sac
ramento and Stockton, where an inn
mense spread of farming land will be
under water if the levees give way.
Tonight's reports from those points are
reassuring.

November, the eleventh month, No.
ceived it's name, which means ninth
month, from novem, in the early ROM
an calendar, because it was the ninth
month. In 40 B. c. julius Caesar
changed the old calendar to the JUL
ian calendar; he also made January
the first month. 1t then made Novem-
Der the eleventh month and 1t still
holds it's old name. !
In November we have Thanksgiv-
ing, the greatest day of the month in
the United States, although every
fourth November we have our presi-
dental elections, which are still more
interesting than Thanksgiving.
Four of our presidents were born in
November, Polk, Taylor, Pierce and
Garfield, and only one, Arthur, has
died in this month. Garfield was the
only one born in November who died
in office.
Rev. William A. Sunday, the evange.
