either dead, injured or homeless, as a re-
suit of the recent earthquake. Word from
there reached this city to the effect that
many had been killed and that 1,120
houses had been destroyed and that 100
bodies had been recovered from the
ruins at the time the courier left with
the news. Many more dead are known
to be beneath the ruins, but the work Of
recovering the bodies is progressing very
slowly, owing to a lack of able-bodied
men. Eight churches were destroyed.
The rainy season is due and much suffer-
ing is sure to follow the disaster.

most one-third of the houses were slight

placed at three. The state palace was

ed that they have been temporarily

kilograms from Yucatan report the
condition of affairs there is being worse
than in northern Mexico. The Indians
are banded together under the command
of renegade members of the national
guard which revolted. They have cap
tured ranches and small towns, putting
all Spaniards to death and driving other
foreigners out of the country.
A new rebellion is reported in full con-
troll at Meriud with forces marching on
Progresso, an undefended port.
There are few federaIs or Maderiistas
in Yucatan and the natives declare that
they will set up their own republic.
The people OF the state of Tabasco are
closely allied to those in Yucatan, and
are also in revolt with the town govern
ments, mostly in their possession. They
also refuse to accept Madero's governor
and declare they will join Yucatan il

DIRECT ELECTIONS
PASSED BY SENATE
RESOLUTION CARRIES WITH IT FED
ERAL SUPERVISION.
States Fighters Lose-Sherman Casts
Deciding Ballot on This Point.
Has Passed the House.

Washington.-The senate Monday, by
"a to "a, passed the resolution amending
the constitution to provide for election
of senators by direct popular vote. The
Bristow amendment, giving to the fed
cral government supervision of such cleo
tions was adopted "A to A, the vice
president casting the deciding ballot. The
house already has passed the resolution.
Senator Reed of Missouri protested
against the yice-president casting his de-
Gliding vote. An amendment by Senator
Bacon qualifying e Bristow amendment
to prohibit federal supervision of cleo
tions unless the state legislatures refuse
or fail to act, was defeated 46 to 43. The
resolution as amended was then adopted.
Democratic senators criticised Senator
Bristow's change of attitude. Mr.. Bris-
tow framed the principal amendment in
the nature of a substitute to the main
proposition and he sought to continue the
supervision of senatorial elections in
congress instead of delegating it to the
states, as proposed by the house reso-
luton. In the last session the Kansas
senator voted against an amendment Of
fered by Senator Sutherland of Utah,
which would have had the same effect as
his own provision of this session.
Adoption of the Bristow amendment,
which omitted the house provision trans
ferring supervision OF senatorial elections
from congress to the state legislatures,
was made possible by Mr.. Clarke OF Ar
kansas casting the only Democratic vote
for the proposition, The tie on that bal
lot would have been prevented if his vote
had been cast with his party, with whom
he later voted on adoption OF the reso-
luton.

EXCUSE FOR HIS LAUNDERING
deal Waiter, True to the End, Had
Been Working Under Pretty
Heavy Handicap.

He was an immaculate servant. To
watch him serve a salad was to watch
an artist at work. To hear his sub
dued accents vas a lesson in the art
of voice production. He slipped,
he never smiled, and his mutton-chop
whiskers marked him as one Of the
old and faithful stock. But one even
ing, to the surprise of his master, he
showed unaccountable signs Of nerv-
BUSINESS. When the chicken came on,
he confused it with the pheasant. He
served everything In the wrong order,
made blunder after blunder, and put
a final touch to his shame by upset
ting the salt over the only super
stitious member Of the party. Then.
at last, when the ladies had retired
to the drawing room, he touched his
master on the shouler. Il beg your
pardon, sir" he said in a respectful
undertone, but could you manage to
spare me now? My house is on fire."

Mr.. Kellogg referred to a letter he

Kellogg & Severance, had for years rep

road and the Duluth, Mesaba and North
ern railroad, subsidiary companies, since
1901 of the United States Steel Corpora
ton. Denying that while acting as spe-
cial counsel for the government he had
performed any services for the steel cor

a fee of SIS, 900 for services previously
performed had been approved by off
Gals of the United States Steel COrpor-
alton and paid to him in October, 1907,
after he had undertaken trust prosecu-

that the people, especially those in the

CUT OUTPUT OF PINE LUMBER
R. A. Lang Admits Price List Committee
Had Existed.

Kansas City, Mo.-At the behcst of
the Southern Lumber Manufacturers
Association, the Long Bell Lumber Com
pany, which controls thousands of acres
of timber land, curtailed its yellow pine
output SO 10 per cent. So testified R. A..
Long, president of the company, at a
hearing of the states custer suit against
the alleged lumber trust here.
This curtailment was not effected to
raise the price of lumber, but to avoid
losses by depreciation and needless in
surance and other expenses, said the wit
ness. At that time, said Mr.. Long, there
was an oversupply of yellow pine.
Mr.. Long also admitted the association
appointed a price list committee and
adopted its report at an annual and
semi-anmal meeting.

FARMING WITH DYNAMITE.

log and ice jams and breaking up
boulders, dynamite is Just the thing,
It seems, for digging bitches, telling
trees and excavating cellars, Blowing
a hole to set an apple tree is cheaper
than digging one and 1t kills bugs and
loosens the ground so that the tree
grows better besides, says the New

off eight or ten feet apart to break
up subsoil restore fertility to worn

ions, the red flag of warning and oc'
casional hired men sent skyward in
installments may seem inconsistent
with the idyllic calm of rural pursuits,
but 1t is too late to complain. The
farmer already threshes and saws
wood with his automobile motor, vac
cinates tho soil for fertility, lures the
cream out Of fresh milk by centripe-

Telephone linemen have discovered
a new use for rats. F. H. Lawrence,
Of the engineering department of the
Chicago Telephone company, is re.
gponsible for this description of how
rats are employed In placing cables:
"A rat Is loosed in a pipe through
which a cable is to be placed. Then
a string is tied to a ferret, which pur,
sues the rat, carrying the string
through the pipe. On the small string
a large n is attached, and on that
a still larger, until a big wire cable
is pulled through" Perhaps when all
the rats have been killed off, to pre-.
vent the possible spread Of the bu-
homie plague, the trick will be turned
W the use Of white mice.

Storm Kills Fifteen.

Newport News, Va,-Sweeping out OF
the Southwest with cyclonic velocity, a
wind, rain, hail and electrical storm
struck the lower end of the Virginia pc
ninsula late Monday, and left a trail
OF death and ruin. Monday night it was
difficult wei to estimate the number of
dead, for many small craft went down
in the storm at various points along
the James river and in Hampton Roads.
Conservative estimates placed the dead
at not more than fifteen.
