Augusta, Ga, Dec. S1.-Beyond the
remark that the withdrawal OF Charles
P. Taft from the senatorial contest IN
Ohio in favor of Representative Theo-
dore 7. Burton was a move in the inter
est of party harmony, President-elect
Taft would say nothing on the subject.
Another conference was held today at
the Taft cottage regarding the best
means to take advantage of the real
sentiment IN the south favoring a po-
i.tical change. Charles II. Sheriff. of the
National Business Mems League of
New York, and Messrs. Taft, Ham
mond and Hitchcock were the con-
ferees- The following statement was
dictated by Mr.. Taft in the presence of
the conferees, showing the exact sit
uation with reference to the matter to-
day:

action to be taken with a view to the
organization of the real sentiment in
the south in favor of a change in that

section, resulted officially IN plan
agreed upon by all parties.
THE Republican organization is to
be maintained in all the states, and ef-
forts made to increaes the ranks Of the
Republican party as fully as possible.
With tine purpose, however. Of securing
the assistance Of those who do not de-
sire to ally themselves with the Re-
publ can party as Republicans, but
only wish to act independently of the
Democratic party in national cam
paigns, it was thought best to secure
the names Of those VINO would take
charge of this independent movement in
each state with a view to their subse-
quent organization at a time when such
political action would be oppOrtune-
1.-THE impression which has gone out
that in the previous conference any OF
the conferees were in favor Of giving up
the movement was erroneous. The
question what names clubs to be or
ganized in the future should bear, Is a
mere matter of detail. in respect TO
which no difficulty was reached" {

Washington, Dec. 31.-When congress re-
assemblies next Monday Representative
Mondell viii introduce a bill providing
that eutrylnen of lands entered in good
faith prior to Nov. T. 1896, which have
since been classified as coal lands, VINO
shall submit satisfactory proof OF com
lliance with the law under which the
entries were made. may receive patents
to lands entered with reservation TO
the United States of coal hereunder, and
containing preference right to entry
men to purchase coal deposits at classl-
fled prices.
from the fact that many agricultural en-
tries were made upon lands not contain
ing coal groupings or surface Indications
of coal which later were CLASSIFIED as
coal lands by the geological survey, ana
entries therefore were suspended me

to have the approval of the interior de-
partmeut. would enable settlers to &C

has from time to time authorized re-
surveys of specified towns, and in the
last congress resurveys of over 100 town.

demands for resurveys have become so
general as to warrant giving the secretary
of the interior general authority to make
them.

fine its work of havoc to the coast.
What has become of the inhabitants of
these villages is not known. Those that
were left alive after the destruction of
their homes doubtless Joined the great
army of refugees seeking safety, OF
have fallen by the wayside.
Complete Ruin.
The Calabrian coast for thirty miles
has been torn and twisted. From Bag
nara TO Reggie, a distance of twenty
FIVE miles, the country is half demol-
isheG. Assistance has reached but few
of the villages. and they are practically
without supplies of any kind At Bag
nara surgical operations are being per-
formed with pruning knives, but at
Reggie even that is impossible. Thieves
infest the country, and the despair of
the unaided villages is complete. Hun
ger supplies the motives for scenes of
shocking violence, and robbers defy the
few surviving policemen and soldiers.
