More Charges.

Still further the court must pass on
the charges that some of the so-called
British Tobacco trust. the Imperial
Tobacco company and OF the British
American Tobacco company. corpo,
ration organized by the two so-called
trusts to handle the worlds tobacco
business outside Great Britain and
America, have violated the law
Another question Is whether the in
dvidual defendants. headed by James
b. Duke. should have been held to have
violated the law.
Some expect that the Standard Oil
decision may again come to the atten
tion of the court through an attempt
of the oil attorneys to procure an
other hearing. Such an application
might delay issuance of the mandate
for the dissolution of the Standard oil
company Of New Jersey until next
October.
Besides the tobacco case 81 other
cases, under consideration by the court
remain undecided. 1t Is expected that
decision in most of these VII b" am

Among these are the federal en-

 Portland, Me-, September 13.-(SpeciaD. The Portland Evening Express, prohibl- tion paper, owned by the family of the late Neal Dow, this afternoon issued a bulletin stating that Maine has gone vet by 800 votes.
 Spring Lake, N. J., September 13.-Gov- ernor Frederick w. Plaisted of Maine ended abruptly tonight his stay at the conference of governors here and left for Augusta. Me, to get in close touch with the situation there resulting from the re- cent election to decide the fate of prohibi- tion in the states constitution. He said he would probably call an early meeting of the board of canvassers to determine definitely the result of the vote
 The wires brought various tidings of the fight to the chief executive this even ing and he declared that it was this un- certainty that called him home. He said:
 The voters of the state and the coun- try at large are entitled to know the re- suit as soon as possible. want to help them to learn it. Under our laws there are two sets of returns. One Is filed with the secretary of state and is opened inl- .mediately The other is sealed and is opened by the governor and his council lors. The latter is authentic, but some times it takes two weeks to get complete returns. We have to send for them in some instances and there are other delays incumbent which, believe my presence in Maine. might help alleviate or avoid.

Catania, Sicily. September 13.-This aft ernoon it was reported a total of 79 new tissues had opened in the volcano of Mount Etna since the disturbance began The river of lava increased in volume and extended eight miles from Its source. Tie houses of several peasants were over wkelmed. Tn earthquake shocks continue to terrify the people for miles around. At Zafferana, on the north coast of sicily, 50 shocks were recorded in GA hours.
 The eruption of Mount Etna Is assum- ing the proportions of a real disaster The lava streams, whose patch crosses the railway line, circling the volcano, is ap- preaching the railway station to the north. and probably threatening the depots at Moio and Alcantars, which were abandoned today. d
 Squads of laborers were at work today teking up the railroad tracks and remov- ing all transportable material to places of safety.

Mount Etna Eruption Gro1uing In
 ActiUity And Situation Is Grave

The entire crest of Mount Etna ap- pears to be in state of ebulition. An exact count of the number of tissues is impossible because of the smoke which shrouds the whole mountain, but there seemed to be more than 80 openings, all belching smoke and lava
 The gravity of the eruption of Mount Etna is indicated by the abandonment of the railway stations of Moio and AL cantra at the north of the volcano. AL cantra marked the limit of the lava flow ir the interruption of 1879. Moio was threatened at that time
 The interruption means great suffering for peasantry. The slopes of Etna with ap area of more than 400 square miles support a population more than that of any other portion of Italy.
 , There are 65 cities and villages in the entire area, and the number of inhabi- tants which obtain an excellent agricul- ture living from the fertile lava beds totals more than 300,000

 While in Tennessee, Dr. Claxton spoke at the dedication of the first of four normal schools which the state is building.
 "A new spirit has arisen in the south in regard to certain educational mat ters, particularly the question of the need of training for teachers said Dr. Claxton. Tt was believed formerly that anyone with an education could teach. whether he knew anything or not about the principles of teaching. This idea has passed away
 Tennessee, my native state, was practically the last state in the coun- try to install normal schols. But now that the step has been taken the state has done nobly, the four cities in which the schols are to be located have con- tributed more than $1.oo0,o00 to sup port them.

Portland Me, September 13.-So close was the vote in Mondays special cleo ton on the question of the repeal of constitutional prohibition that even to- night, when most of the first unofficial returns had been revised by mail re- ports from town clerks, the result is still in doubt.
 An error discovered in the report given officially by the town clerk of Limestone contributed largely to the uncertainty as to he outcome of the election
 In reporting the vote the clerk re- turned to the Associated Press over his signature: For repeal 12, against re- peal 175; while to the secretary of state he reported the reverse, for repeal l7o, against 12.
 Figures furnished by Secretary of State Davis from Augusta at midnight compile from mail returns from all but 13 cities and towns in the state and with the miss ing 1s supplied from press returns, show an apparent majority for repeal of 15o votes.
 Of the 13 towns votes reported four were received by mail.fr the clerks and nine
 
 since been possible to confirm. The figures of the total vote was furnished from the office of the secretary of state. including the 13 towns supplied to Mir. Davis from press returns, are:
 For repeal, 6a,525.
 Against repeal. e),37o.
 Between the Associated Press returns. as revised almost completely by postal card reports from town and city clerks. and the figures of the secretary of state, there is marked discrepancy, the r'ess returns indicating at late hour tonight majority of 347 against repeal.
 The total vote as indicated by the Asso- ciated Press returns are:
 For repeal. 60.241
 7. Against repeal, 6o.5sS.
 In view of the closeness of the vote it was believed tonight that only the official canvass of the vote by the gov error and council would definitely de- termine the issue.
 The discrepancy in the Limestone re- turns is said to make @ change of 326 votes in the total Efforts were being made to reach Limestone to learn which of the clerks reports was correct. The town is in the northernnost part of Aror- stock county. few miles from the New

Communication Cut Off

London September 13.-A news dispatch received here today from Tsu Chau says that the prefect of police there has at tempted to communicate with Cheng Tu by messengers, but that the latter were unable to get through the lines of rioters who were attacking the city at four points.
 The adviees add that the American and British residents of Cheng Tu did not leave the city on September I, still re- mained in the capital when the dispatch was sent. as the governor general re- fused to permit them to leave on Septem- Der s, owing to the presence of the rabble outside the walls.
 The French missionaries had decided to remain in the city. The mails to and from Cheng Tu have been interrupted.
 This afternoon the foreign office re- ceived official advices from the British consul at Cheng Tu, dispatched under date September g. They state there was fighting within the walls of Cheng Tu on September T. when some persons were Killed and others wounded. both among the, populace and the soldiers, who en- gagged each other in the streets. The rehels were easily repulsed. and the gates of the city closed The business shops were shut up. On the following day roughs from the suburbs attacked the city gates but were driven back.

 Every effort is being made to com munIcate with Cheng Tu, but so far the city. Foreigners here seem confi- dent of the ability of the taotai to suppress the rising.
 The southern section of Szechuen con- tinues loyal, although the natives sym pGthize with the opponents of the rail- way construction. All gatherings in Pe- king in sympathy with the revolutionary movement in Szechuen, have been dis rersed by the police.
 A dispatch from Kia Ting Su, to the south of Cheng Tu, says foreign mis- sonaries stationed there have left for the Yang Tse. These include three men and their wives and a woman doctor. The foreign gunboats have been unable to proceed above Sui Flu.
 telegram received today from the British consul at Cheng Tu. dated Septem- ber g, and brought through the besieging rabble by messenger. states that the viceroy deemed the departure of the mis- sionaries from Cheng Tu inadvisable and therefore detained five boatloads which were starting.
 Troops, the message says, were firing on the besiegers from the city walls. The garrison numbers 1900. Reinforcements cannot arrive inside of four weeks. All foreigners, it is believed, occupy the Can adian mission compound, which is consid- cred the most easily defended.

 ARE UNDER SIEGE

 of Sheng Tu
FIGHTING GOING ON
City Is Defended by Eighteen Hun- dred Troops and Besiegers Have Lost Many Men in Battle Ac-
 cording to Reports

Peking, September 13.-Latest advices received by the Chinese foreign board and the foreign legations indicate that Cheng Tu, capital of Szechuen, is under sic ge, and that most, If not all, of the missionaries are inside the walls and that the city is garrisoned by 1900 troops who have had several engagements with the besieging forces.
 A dispatch from the prefect of Tsu- Chau, about 75 miles to the southeast of Cheng Tu, dated September 12, said the troops were firing upon the rebels from the Cheng Tu walls, and the besiegers had lost many men.
 The belief was prevalent there that the garrison was capable of resisting the at tacks of any number of organized rebels.
 The Canadian Methodist compound within the city has open spaces around it's own walls. It was believed the for elgners had taken refuge within this compound, which was considered the strongest and the most easily defended. Picking missionaries who have been in former riots in Cheng1 Tu, said that such Chinese troops as were dispatched to guard the mission will be stationed. outside the compound and would not be permitted under any circumstances to get within the gates.
 Whether the foreigners and natives inside the walls are prepared to endure siege is not known. The question of supplies is all important and it is prob able. in view of the past experiences, that the missionaries have taken pre- cautions against such contingency.
