Rome. Jan 6.-The report from Mes
Eina that typhoid fever has broken out
there has allied the authorities with
alarming apprehension. 1t is realized
here that unless proper sanitary pre-
cautions are taken at once the disease
may spread far outside the ruined dis

may prove TO be dysentery, & Is well
known that this disease, under such
conditions as prevail at Messina and
Reggie would be likely 70 prove Just
as fatal as the earthquake itself.

twO-thirds OF the inhabitants lie buried.
while at Reggio onehalf the people
lost their lives. Messina counted 49,
600 and Reggio $4,000 souls Slcken-

for thirty miles in Sicily.
The scenes for a distance along the
water front made the stoutest heart

grief and terror. They were awaiting
boats TO take them away. Where they
went they cared not. their only desire
was to leave this accursed spot, where
they had lost their loved ones and their
homes. No family was complete.
1t was astonishing how many people
still were being dug out alive Friday
morning, four days after the catas-
trophe. While the correspondent lin.
gered for an hour near one of these
stations eleven wounded were brought
In. They were almost naked. their
bodies covered with blood and dirt,
and they could hardly be recognized as
human beings.
Although the air in Messina Is heavy

city and obstinately refuse the invita-

81 have believed and | still believe
that it is best to confine the work of
the congress purely to the business
bearing upon the subject of irriga-
tion," Mr.. Carey says, "and to strike
every other subject that puts in an
appearance with a destructive hand.
Irrigation means the reclamation of
the arid lands, and to this confine the
congress. This, of course, incidently
brings before the congress everything
with reference to land legislation and
land distribution.
Mr.. Carey also suggests that the
formal papers and addresses be short
and that the discussion by delegates
be kept within five minutes. This
would result in lively talks on the
leading questions before the congress
and also have the effect of making
the congress of practical value.

TARIFF BILL
CAUSES NEGLECT
Of MARKET
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, March S.-The stock
market was greatly neglected during
the morning session. Different causes
were assigned to different degrees for
the responsibility for the halt in the
speculation market, but the principal
matter, it is generally thought, is
the framing of the new tariff bill
and the release to new plans in busi-
ness which that framing is expected
to effect. The decision against the
Missouri 2 cent rate law in the
United States circuit court had a
favorable influence on the stocks of
railroads traversing that state. The
benefit was increased by the pub
lished reports of a tariff arrange
ment between the Wabash and the
Union Pacific railroad Bonds were

stroyed in a tornado which swept
through Arkansas late today. A st.

Brinkley was destroyed, according to
reports from the south, and eight

After many of the buildings of
Brinkley were down the wreckage
took fire. The blaze soon got beyond
control and the latest advices were
that the destruction of the town will
be complete.
