VOLCANO CONTINUES CAPERS
Mount Etna Still spurts Lava, but
Danger Seems Past.
SOLDIERS REAssURE FEARFUL
Stream of Fire Advances Down Noun
tain Side, hut Natives Are Warned
in Time to Seek Places of
Safety.

CATANIA, March 26.-Etna stlll Is an
CRY. From the top Of the old crater vol
tunes of white smoke are issuing tonight,
while from the new craters that have
formed lava is gushing and large incan-
descent masses are exploding with loud
detonRtions and emissions Of black smoke.
From Catania and along the railway sur
rounding Etna thousands Of persons are
watching the volcano. following with tele-
scopes the progress Of the eruption.
The streams Of lava already have sur
passed in volume those of the eruption of
1892, but changing their courses just as
they reached Belpasso and Nicolosi they
have Invaded the main roads near these
two villages, which seem thereby to have
escaped destruction. The people are stlll
fearful, but in both villages soldiers are
encamped in the squares to avert panic,
while the mayor and parish priests are
heroically ministering to the needy.
Cardina Francica Nava, who returned
today to the scene OF the eruption, prom
ised to bring back to the people of Moo
losi and Belpasso the veil Of st. Agatha,
which they believe has the power to stop
the advancing lava Prof. Ricco, director
of the observatory on the volcano, despite
a narrow escape from death today, has
returned to the lava fields. To those who
advised prudence he replied: My post is
now there"
Frank A. Perret of Brooklyn, N. Y,
who is attached to the royal observatory
on Mount Vesuvius, arrived here today
and proceeded Immediately to the scene
Of the eruption.
1t has now been ascertained that the
openings from which the lava is issuing
number fourteen. The heat from the cur
rents is 30 intense that It Is impossible
to approach nearer than $50 feet to them.
The progress down the mountain side OF
the lava now averages fifteen feet every
seven minutes.
The people are pleading for assistance.
especially for carts in which to remove
their household effects from the volcano
region. The government has turned over
to the prefect 5000 with which to give
assistance to the needy peasants.
The craters that may be properly de-
scribed as new appear to be fourteen In
number. These have opened at the foot of
Mount Castellazzo, four miles in an air
line from the summit of Mount Etna.
One Of these craters is at spot called
Tasca Albanelli. This is not throwing out
much lava, but is the Nnoisest OF the four
and it's loud detonations are chiefly re-
sponsible for the terror Of the population
for miles around second crater Is GOO
feet above in a place called Volta Sangirol
Amo. This is 1000 feet above the sea and
most active of the openings, emitting the
greatest flood of incandescent matter. At
Tasca Arena is a third break, also active,
and near it is the fourth, showing a less
serious eruption.

Chicago Loses
Chance to Vote
on Saloon Issue
DRY" Agitators Fail to Secure
Enough Names to Petition for
Question.

CHICAGO, March 2s.-Chicago lost its
chance 70 vote on the saloon question at
the election on April 5, according to a de-
cislon reached by the election commission
ers last night.
The commission declared that the petition
offered blythe "drys' to have the question,
Shall this city become antl-saloon terri
tory?' put on the ballots lacked sufficient
signatures. The "wets" had filed com
plant asserting that out Of the 1900 names
26, l2s were those Of persons not registered.
The commissioners sustained this charge
after an investigation, and the prohibition
forces tonight declared too little time inter
vened between now and election to permit
Of court action to have the question sub
mitted to the voters.
This decision nullifies the work Of hun
dreds of prohibition workers, including
many women, who for weeks stood In the
downtown streets, on elevated train plat
forms and In public buildings seeking sig
natures TO the petition.
According to the 'drys," each man was
asked whether he was a registered voter
before he was allowed 90 sign.
A. E. Wilson, state chairman Of the pro
hibitionists announced that petitions viii
be circulated tomorrow to have the ques-
tion OF statewide prohibition submitted TO
the voters. He also declared next year the
"drys" would succeed In having the ques-
ton voted upon in Chicago.

ing in effect that the action of a United
States pure food inspector, under the pure
food and drug act, is final, a decision was
rendered in the United States district court

the defective cans and deliver the re-
mainder to the owner, who is held re-
sponsible for all costs of the proceedings.
Further the court ruled no testimony
could be admitted to show that the goods
had been packed in compliance with the

damage resulted in transportation could not
be considered.
1t was also decided that the owner of
the goods was not entitled to samples of
the seized goods or a copy Of the chemist s

different from that planned in any other

correspond exactly with those Of my enum-

are to get the number of each house and
how many people sleep there, and you are
to leave a card on which are thirty-two
questions to be answered for the govern
ment enumerator, who follows you one
week later.
BE careful about the questions you ask
In a private school there might be fifty or
100 pupils to sleep there. but you should
ask how many are real residents OF Omaha.
Likewise make similar inquiries at hos
pitals. Don't overlook any place. Stop at tho
stores, for there may be janitor sleeping
there or some one sleeping back in the
alley or barn.
'Td like to have your report correspond
with the government enumeration We Will
check our reports by yours and II there
is any disparity we will have to make an
other visit 10 such houses ia like to be
able TO report when 1t is all over that we
followed the best system and had the
most satisfactory reports in Omaha of any
city in the country. 1 know you can do
this and do 1t well and shall be very
proud OF you. The districts are small and
1t won't take you one-fourth the time It
will my enumerators."

BroomhaII's Report.

Liverpool, April 2S.--Our Argentine
agent estimates the shipments Of
wheat this week 100000 bushels, last
week 1888, 900, last year 1,96S,O0o.
Corn this week, 100000, last week
$4,000, last year 100000.
The weather is less favorable for
the corn crop it being cold and wet.
The wheat market at the opening
was affected by the strength in Amer
ica and the. firnlness of cargo offer
ings and values were Y higher.
The Kansas official report was bull
ish and the continent is bidding for
cargoes off coast and helped to cause
tighter offerings.
Following the opening and during
tho remainder of the morning session
the market was under selling pres
sure and prices lost about all of the
opening advance. Pressure at this
time was due to the continued weak
ness in Buen0s Ayres, forecast Of lib
eral shipments from Argentine this
week and further liquidation in May
At mid day the market was easy and

CONSERVE RED
RESERVATIONS
BURKE OF SOUTH DAKOTA IN
PRODUCING BILL TO EX-
TEND POLICY TO INDIAN
TRIBAL LANDS.

Washington, April 2s-The policy of
conservation will be extended to In
dian reservations if bill reported to
the house today by the committee on
Indian affairs by Representative
Burke of South Dakota is enacted into
law. The bin not only provides for
the conservation of water power sites
on Indian reservations, but it contains
a number of provisions safeguarding
the property rights of the Indians It
also makes certain changes in the law
governing allotments and authorizes
the leasing of mineral-bearing lands
embraced in Indian reservations.
One provision of the bill has a bear
ing on Indian heirs. Under the Burke
law passed a few years ago it was
provided that the secretary of the in
terror should determine the heirs of
deceased Indians. The language of the
law is ambiguous on this point, and
has resulted in litigation in the courts.
The bill reported today makes it clear
that the secretary of the interior shall
determine Indian heirs without re-
course to the courts. The blu further
provides that during the trust period
an Indian may will his estate, a right
that is now denied him.
