LOSS OF LIFE NOT LARGE
Heavy Earthquake Felt in Province Of
Siena, italy.

Siena, Italy, Aug. pa heavy
earthquake was felt throughout the
province of Siena. Practically all the
houses in San Lorenzo were destroyed
or badly damaged. Many persons
were injured.
The quake was felt most severely
within radius of twenty miles from
Siena. Considerable damage was done
at Buonoconvento. Several houses
collapsed and one person was killed.
Several persons were injured at Mon
teroni. A number of houses also were
damaged there and masonry fell into
the streets.
The shock was recorded at Piom-
bino, on the coast about fifty miles
southwest of Siena, and there was a
repetition five minutes later. The
people fled from their homes in terror,
but no damage has been reported
Siena itself escaped with a severe
shaking. The people, however, rushed
out of their houses into the streets,
where they wandered about in a state
of semi-panic until they were assured
that the quakes were over.

DEN MARK,

The ministerial crisis which followed
the resignation of the Danish cabinet
last month because of it's failure to
secure the support of parliament for it's
project of military defense, came to an
end on Aug. 16 with the formation of
new cabinet under the premiership
of Count Holstein-L J. C.
Christensen is minister of war and
marine; former Premier Neegaard
minister of finance, and Thomas Lar
sen minister of public works. Count
Ahlfeldt-Laurwig, E. Sorensen, F. s.
Hoegsbro, A. Nielsen, K. Berntsen and
0. Hansen, retain, RESPECTIVELY, the
portfolios of foreign affairs, education,
justice, agriculture, interior and COM
merce.
Denmark will adopt the Swedish Gus
tom of celebrating MAY Flower Day, -
when May flowers will be sold at 10
ore piece and the proceeds will go to
some benevolent cause In Sweden
this has been very successful. The
last May day there flowers to the
amount of 131, 900 crowns were sold in
different parts of the country and the
funds thus collected will be used for
fighting tuberculosis among children.
It is possible that Denmark will also
devote the proceeds from the sale of
flowers for the same purpose 1t is a
beautiful custom, and is productive of
a vast amount of good.
There will in the near future be
homeopathic hospital erected in Den
mark. which when completed, will be
the only one of its kind in northern
Europe. A site has already been Sc
lected for 1t in Copenhagen and sum
of $4,000 has been collected for it. It
will cost about $4,000.

The Colombia carried 200 passen-

brought ashore. Most of the dead
are women and children. A majority

Court Decision Affects Com.
TlerCe Commission
MISSOURI RIVER RATE CASE
Injunction Issued FOrbidding En-,
fOrCement of Order.

Chicago, Aug. 24-The permanent
injunction sought by Western rail
ways against the interstate commerce
commission in the famous Missouri
river rate case was granted here by
Judges Grosscup, Baker and Kohlsaat
of the United States circuit court.
The decision, if sustained by the
United States supreme court, will, it
is said, limit the power of the inter
state commerce commission to the
settlement of cases Of rate discrim.
Mation.
The railroads in the Missouri river
rate case sought to have the inter.
state commerce commission enjoined
permanently from enforcing an order
of the commission made June "a, 1908,
relating to joint rates from the Allan
tic seahoard to Missouri river cities.
This order sought to create q system
of through rates from the Atlantic
seaboard to the Missouri river that

the local rates. This, according to
Western roads, threw the burden
upon them.
The joint rate now in force from the
Atlantic seaboard to the Missouri river
on first class matter is $1.47 per hun
dred pounds. The reduction proposed
by the commission was $138. The
through rate now in force on the same
matter from the Atlantic seaboard to
the Mississippi river is 81 cents,
which, plus the through rate from the
Mississippi river to the Missouri river
go cents), makes the same total,
$1.47 per hundred pounds, as the joint
rate from the Atlantic seaboard to
the Missouri river.
The commissions defeated purpose
would have allowed the Atlantic sea-
board to deliver goods to Missouri
river cities on joint rate cents
less than could have been done if the
shipments were sent first to the Mis-
sissippi river and then resent to the
Missouri river.
