OUAKE'S DEATH LIST
NOT YET COMPLETED
Full Honor Of the Catastrophe Still Unknown But All
the indications Are That Estimates Are
Not Exaggerated.

LONDON. Jan. with the lightning
of this week il is stu impossible to give
an official estimate either OF the loss
of human life or the destruction Of prop
ertv in the awful catastrophe which
overwhelmed Messina and Reggio and
the contiguous towns and villages in
the gray dawn of Monday last
One thing only seems certain, that tor
once the tendency toward exaEEerauou
natural under such circumstances of
demoraIizing disaster has fallen short of
the appalling reality, and that the
calamity is the greatest recorded I'm the
history of Europe.
Two hundred thousand has been men
JiOned as the probable total loss of life,
and event the most conservative pres
ont estimates do not fail mucC below
Jhis figure. In Nessina City and dis
tTict alone out of a population % $4,000
not more than 1000 are reported to
have escaped, ana such figures as are
AVAILABLE in regard to Reggie and other
~aIabriau towns End villages point 10 a
tremendous addition TO the total, so that
present indications are that 100000 will
not be found to be a greatly exaggerated
figure.
1t is pointed out, however, that en- the
light Of past experience with other dis
astcrs of "A similar kind even the most
careful estimates cannot be made too
conservative.
Property Loss.
As regards the value OF the property
destroyed computations are equally
hazardous upon the data at present
available ono estimate may be men
toned merely as an indication. II

Figures like these, of course are
valuable only as a rough and ready
indication OF the tremendous magnitude
OF the losses Two facts stand out rom
ali fTaEmentary reports received. IuaL
the number Of the survivors accounted
for is extremely limited and that all
the witnesses agree that both -hesSlls+
and Reggie are practically nothlng puL
heaps of ruins. The only deduction 70
be drawn Is that the loss 10 both ne
and property has been on q scale WhlGn
the imagination can barely grasp.
News Still Slow.

Italy fs coming through slowly and

mands are almost monopolizing the tel

transmission. and oTdinarr press mes

indicating q deplorable lack OF orgatnl-
zatiou on the part Of the authoTltles-
The official reports chrohlclhg L's
movements OF King Victor Emmanuel
do not afford much Indication as to
actual work accomplished, though the
fndubitabIe example set by his majesty
must have had an excellent erect IN
stirring up the officials.

higher rates to ride on passenger trains
than the people or every contiguous
state, including Arkansas, and he ap-
parently regards the suit to prevent such
injustice as persecution. But again I
am inclined to believe that the great
mass of the people of Missouri approve
of the action of those public officials
who insist that the people of Missouri
shall be given as low rates by the rail-
roads as the people of contiguous states
or that some good reason should be of
fered for the discrimination.
MUST NOT TAMELY SUBMIT.
The further prosecution of the in
junction suit in the Circuit Court of
St. Louis has been temporarily enioined
by the Federal Court and temporarily
prohibited by an order of the Supreme
Court. Under the protection of these
orders, the Katy" and the Santa Fe
have announced their intention of put
ting into effect 8 cent rate upon May
25. This action is in violation of the
order of Judge Williams of the Giro nit
Court of St. Louis, but on account of
of the orders of the Supreme Court and
the United States Court, there roads
can not now be cited for contempt for
this violation. But it is not the inten-
ton of the state officials to permit this
discrimination to become effective
without further effort to prevent it.
Timid souls, like Mr.. Smith. might
wish to see the people of Missouri tame
ly submit to such injustice and
discrimination, but I believe that the
people of the state regard it as fortu-
nate that they have not elected such
men as their state officers.
In the last campaign, In which the
railroads endeavored to effect a COM
bination to defeat me for governor, l
offered to Withdraw from the race if my
opponent or any of his friends could
show that 1 have ever done, or tried to
do, railroad company an act OF In
justice IF Mr.. Smith, or any other
champion of the railroads, can show
wherein I have ever done anything
else than than endeavour to secure.
for the people of Missouri as fair rates
as are enjoyed by the people of con-
tigous states, I am willing to acknow-
lede the correctness of his criticism
and hereafter accept his advice In my
official relations with the railroad COM
panies of the state.
