ANxiOUSLY AWAITED.
Italian King Eager to Meet the Com
mander of Yankee Fleet.

Rome. Jan. 10.-The arrival of the
American squadron. under Rear Adj
miral Sperry. has been anxiously
awaited. The project of Naples had
been ordered to notify the King when
the squadron reached port, for His
Majesty was anxious to meet the
American admiral, Ambassador Girls
com having already arranged an au-
dience.
1t is expected that the King will pro-
coed at once to Naples, for he wishes
to participate personally in any ar
rangements that may be made for the
services of the American warships.
Admiral Sperry will place his ships at
the disposal of the King and govern
ment. and it is very likely that he Will
be asked to proceed to the Straits,
where the crews can perform most
useful services in the relief work
The United States supply ship Yank-
ton arrived at MeSsina on Saturday
following close on the Culgoa.

STILL REscUING SURVIVORS.
Living Persons Taken from Ruins In
Remarkably Good Condition.

Messina, Jan. 10.-The body of
Madame Ogston, wife of the British
consul at Messina who, with his daush-
ter made his escape from the ruins,
was found today and delivered to Mr.
Ogston's father. The British consul is
reported from Palermo as recovering
from his injuries and will probably be
able to be removed to London in the
next few days.
The living are still being taken from
the ruins. Days ago it was thought
that all buried under the masses Of
wreckage must have persisted, but sew
eral persons taken out on Saturday
were found to be in extraordinarily
good condition.
British Attachc Radcliffe said today
that he believed there were many still
alive under the ruins. Unfortunately
during the past few days the work OF
searching the ruins has been in a
measure abandoned, as it was thought
impossible that any living remained.

SEARCHING IN CHICAGO.
Rev. M. Carmichael May Have Gone
To Western Metropolis.

Port Huron. Mich. Jan. 10-With
the eXhausting here today of every
known clcw that might clear up the
Rattle Run Methodist church murder
mystery. interest in the mysterious
case is centered in the search being
made fro Rev. John Carmichael IN
Chicago Three detectives who have
been working on the case here are IN
Chicago Assisting the officers there in
looking for the missing minister. who
is charged with numbering Gideon
Browning and burning his body i'm the
church stove. A reward of $500 is Of
fcred for his arrest.
EXnecting that am an answering the
minister's description took an early
morning train from the tunnel station
here on Wednesday morning for Chi
cago there were few real developments
in the case today. The we'll in front of
the little church was bailed out IN the
hone that it might contain some evil
dencc that would help to solve the
tangled case. but nothing was found.
Mrs Carmichael was brought here
again today for further examination by
Prosecutor Brown. One fact OF M
portance was learned. Mrs. Carmen
ael told the prosecutor that her nus
band had for some time suffered from
an effcction in his head. which caused
pus to form and discharge from ms
ears This trouble in his head is taken
by some investigators to support the
belief that Carmichael must have been
insane if he was guilty of the slaush-
ter Of Browning.
Tho search for Carmichael in Chica-
go is based on the statement of Ticket
Agent Land at the Grand Trunk tunne,
depot that on "Wednesday morning
about j O'Clock. about eight or 10 hours
after the probable hour the crime was
committed. Il bearded man wearing d
fur coat and resembling Rev. Mr.. Car
michael came into the depot. bought Il
ticket for Chicago and boarded the
early train for the West Land. now
ever. could not positively identity a
picture of Carmichael as his early
morning visitor.
In support OF the belief that it WAS
Carmichael who took the tram on
Wednesday morning is the TACT t2at
the minister's horse was found NV
miles from the tunnel depot, heauea
back toward the scene of the murder
II is reasoned that if LandS identiiica-
tion is correct. the minister drove from
the church to the neighborhood of the
denot and then started his horse back
toward home
In confederation of the belief that
the murder was committed by some
one thoroughly familiar with the
| church. il is pointed out that one OF

it being asserted that such an appoint

The discovery that Secretary Wilson
has established record for long service
as a cabinet officer has awakened what
appeared to be the strong hold he had
upon his present position. Clifford Pin
chot the chief forester. is the only per-
son whose name has been prominently
mentioned in connection with the depart
ment of agriculture portfolio in the event
that Secretary Wilson is to leave. But
this will doubtless have the effect of
bringing forth number of candidates
for the place.
Having been selected as secretary of
war, presumably by Mr. Tafts advice,
General Luke f. Wright seems almost
certain to retain his position in the new
cabinet. though it is understood that his
incumbency will not be long.
Postmaster General Meyer would like
very much to be President Taft's secreta-
ry of the treasury. but the friends OF
Former Governor Herricll of Ohio have
presented his claims with such ability
as to make him a formidable candidate
for the position. Should he prevail, it
would not be surprising if Mr. Meyer
were asked to accept the naval portfolio.

state by reason of the existence of the
