CATANIA April 9.-After several
days of quiet, Mount Etna again
burst forth in volcanic fury tonight,
more violently than ever With a
deep rumbling sound that could be
heard for miles the mountain seem
ed literally to explode and from many
new sraters on The slope and sides uf
the death deaiAS moun:aln new lava
streams began flowing with renewed
energy The greatest lava stream is
fully several yards deep and is ad-
yancing at the rate of thirty miles an
hour upon the adjacent country.
The natives who had been lulled,
into sense of security by the quiet
of the mountain during the past few
days. are panic stricken. The Cathe-
drals and churches have been opened
and the people are fleeing to them
for refuge.
Scientists who have studied the
volcano have long asserted that the
lull in activities was but the forerun-
ner of another and greater eruption,
some going so far as to say that the
present outburst will be the most vio-
lent in the history of Mount Etna.
The government, to allay the fear
of the inhabitants have yelled the re-
ports cf the scientists and informed
the people through soldiers. that
the eruption was over.

TAFT MAKES A SPEECH
Refused to Sound the Keynote Of
Congressional Campaign Which
is Not Due Just

WASHINGTON, d. c., April g.
Holding cut welcoming arms to such
insurgents as may be induced to re-
turn to the regular republican fold,
President Taft declined to strike the
keynote for the coming congressional
campaign, or to read the dissenting
men out of the party.
Instead of delivering the expected
keynote speech, he pleaded with eve
ry republican" in the national legis-
lature to rally behind the Taft policies
and redeem the platform pledges of
the party.
The president was the first speaker
on long list that addressed the din
ner OF the League of Republican clubs
OF the District of Columbia. The pres
ident said in part:
This is the time for voting, ana
assing the measures OF this admins
tration and of the party. This Is the
time for doing things. When congress
adjourns then we can prepare for the
iall campaign. Then we shall nave,
ready at our hands, the weapons with
which to go into battle.
Tonight we read nobody out OF
the republican party.
I'VE want them all in the ranks and
q 3f1v have an opportunity to reestablish
81 allse1ves as republicans by helping
enact legislation to which the re
publican party is pledged and which
the republican party stands for
by their fruits, shall you know
them And those men who with their
vote bind the measures of the party
and help redeem the pledges of the
party, stand with the party. # they
don't want to get behind those party
measures, well, we won't quarrel with
them. II is their privilege to use their
votes as they see fit. don't wish to
indicate that | feel that those men are
not as sincere in their republicanism
a am
The republican party is not rigiG
i'll its demands. 1t is big and liberal
enough in its scope to permit differ
NllScS Ol OplulOu. Auu SUiuClllleS we
nay not agree all OF us but when eyi-
dence is shown that man does not de-
sire the success of the republican par
ty when he will not redeem the
pledges of the party, then we have a
right to say he is rot Of the party.
Here we hold out our arms to all
republicans to assist us to carry out
our platform pledges This accom-
plished, the time will come when we
can safely go before the American
people and argue the right of the re-
publican party to their suffrage, on
our record"
i am a Taft man not on the sur
face, but through and through. said
Congressman Longworth, of Ohio, SON
in.law of Colonel Roosevelt, in his
speech. Il am not willing to use his
name as a cloak for my support of
other men and of other interests. I
am not willing to praise him in pub
lie and work against him in private.
The success of his administration is
of far more Importance to me than
the success o. my own individual cam
paign."
