Manila, p l., Jan. 30-An American

west shores of Lake Taal, telegraphs
that five small villages have been de-
stroyed by tidal wave and not less
than 300 persons killed in that vicin-

The natives have sought refuge in the

Mount Taal is "a miles from this
city, and dense clouds of smoke from
it's crater are plainly visible here. The
observatory authorities believe that
Manila is in no danger, but there is
considerable alarm among the ma
tives, who recall the awful destruc'

1897 Mount Taal has been more OF

SERIOUS RACING TANeLE

New York, Jan. 30.-Whether there
shall be peace or war on the trotting
turf next season is believed to.depend
upon the outcome Of the special meet
ing begun in this city today by the
stewards of the Grand Circuit. The
meeting is the direct result of the
action of the Columbus Driving AS
sociation in withdrawing from the
Grand Circuit on account of dissatis-
faction over the allotted dates ana
the steps taken to form the Great
Central circuit, It is believed every
effort will be made to patch up a
truce, as the formation of rival cir
cult under conditions as they exist
at present would, according to the
opinion of nearly all of those well In
formed as to the situation, prove
disastrous, especially to the Eastern
tracks of the Grand Circuit.

WILBUR GLENN VoLiVA, DoWiE'S

Chicago, Jan. 30,-Zion City, found
ed by the late John Alexander Dowie,
which since the latter's death has
been invaded by many unbelievers'
who have insisted on using tobacco,
establishing business enterprises and
building churches, promises to have
something startling in the way OF
punishment of the tobacco users.
Wilbur Glenn Voliva, general over

SEEKING RECALL OF MAYOR

San Francisco. Jan. 30.-This city
today became the scene of the legal
skrmishing in connection with the
fight that is being waged by the Seat
tie reformers to bring about the recall
of Mayor Hiram G. Gill of that city.
In the United States circuit court of
appeals the case Of Frank H. Scobey
and others against City Comptroller
w. ]. Boutwell, of Seattle, to enjoin
the payment of warrants issued to de-
fray the expenses of the special elec-
tion called for February to vote on
the mayors recall, came up for argu-
men. The suit was brought to test
the legality of the special election.
The outcome of the fight is awaited
with keen interest, owing largely to
the fact that the contest is the only
one of its kind in the history of Amer
ican municipalities, with the excep-
ton of that which resulted in the re-
call of the mayor of Los Angeles sew
eral years ago. Los Angeles was the
first city to insert the recall provi-
sion in it's charter and the success
with which it was employed there has
led to its adoption by many other ci-
ties during the past few years.

PLAN TO BUILD
Sewer APPROVED
LAS VEGAS PROPERTY OWNERS
ENTHUSIASTIC OVER REPORT
OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE

Hearty endorsement is being given
by Las Vegas property owners to the
plan for immediate sewer construc-
uon, which has been evolved by the
special citizens committee after
months OF research and which was
announced Saturday evening in the
columns OF The Optic. The extreme
pracucability OF the plan, together
with the cheapness with which the
sewer system can be built, have won
the approval of everybody who has
given the mattef4 any consideration.
Under this heading, too, can be
classed nearly every taxpayer in the
CITY. Las Vegas people realize the
importance and necessity for the con-
struction Oh sewer and they are IN
terested ravorably In scheme as
simple and economical as that pro
posed by the citizens committee.
Persons who own property in the
district as outlined in this paper Sat
urday night, which will be the first
to be constructed, have freely e1
pressed to the mayor and councilmen
their appreciation Of the scheme. Peo
pie owning property just outside the
district and i'll easy reach OF 1t have
already begun asking that its bound
aries be extended that they may be
included. And several of them have
offered to pay cash down.
One taxpayer told Mayor Goodal
Yesterday he was ready to pledg'
cash payments for six lots within tn
district and that he had as man.
more lust across the street from IL

same.
The estimated cost which will b

committed suicide ten days ago on the
