CONGRESS BADLY TIED UP
Leaders Admit That an Extra Session
10 Inevitable.

Warrington, Feb. 28.-C0ngress as
pembled for the last week of the pres
emit session with no better prospect
Of clearing up the work of the session
than was known to exist a few days
ago. To all intents and purposes it is
foregone conclusion in the minds of
many leaders on both sides and in
both houses Of congress that tho Ca
madam reciprocity agreement cannot
possibly be ratified by the senate be-
fore noon Of Saturday, when this ses.
sion must adjourn. There IL added to
this item the sundry civil appropria-
ton bill, carrying the appropriation
for the tariff board, and the naval ap-
preparation bill providing two battle.
ships. The legislative situation is as
follows:
In conference-Indian. legislative,
army and District of Columbia supply
bills.
Passed by the house and now be-
fore the senate-Sulloway pension,
postofice, agriculture, naval and mill
tary academy, Notifications, diplo-
matte and consular, sundry civil bills.
Passed by the senate and now be-
fore the house-Ship subsidy bill.
Probably will not pass.
The Lorimer controversy and Cana
dian reciprocity bills are pending in
the senate and indications are that
neither will be voted upon at the pres
ent session.
The house has declared for fortify
ing the Panama canal. but no action
has been taken by the senate.
It Is conceded the bill for the crea~
ton of a permanent tariff board will
fail Of passage, but funds for the con-
tinuation of the work by the present
board will be provided:
The postage increase proposed by
Postmaster General Hitchcock is be-
fore the. senate as an amendment to
the postofice appropriation bill. but is
not likely to pass.
The house has passed bill provid
ing for reapportionment on the basis
Of 1873 members. This measure will
pass the senate.

ELECTROMAGNETIC
BLOWS UP AND
KILLS 1900
Millions of Property Destroyed
by Earthquake
NEW CRATER ON COLIMA
All Mexico Shaken But Little or No
Damage Resulted South Of Capt.
tai City

Mexico City, June 9.--Colima, the
only active volcano in North America
was the focal point of the earthquake
Il at rocked and Jared Mexico from
border to border and ocean to ocean
Wednesday, costing in the aggregate
no fewer than 1900 lives and destroy
ing property to the extent OF several
million dollars.
With the restoration Of telegraphlc
communication It is learned that the
volcano broke forth in violent erup-
ton on Tuesday Lava was thrown
to a great height and the molten
mass, which the eruption of 1869 has
not reached point further than
1000 feet below the crater, is burning
its way through the rank tropical
of the mountain.
AS seen from the nearest points 1t
seems that a new crater has opened
on the west side OF the mountain, but
owing to the dense smoke rolling up
in an almost straight column thous.
ands Of feet high and covering the
crater most of the time, it is hard to
ascertain the exact conditions.
Five hundred persons have been
killed in Zapotian, where the Cathe-
dral, built on the site of the one de-
stroyed in the earthquake following
the eruption of 1906, has been de-
stroyed. The earthquake which fol-
lowed the eruption of 1906 did not
come for nearly twenty-four hours af-
ter the outburst from the crater.
The loss of life in Zapotlan would
have been greater had not the inhab-
itants, expecting an earthquake to
follow the violent eruption, made ar
rangements to sleep in outhouses OF
cane. Many, however, were careless
as the eruptions in 1902 and 1905
were followed by only light shocks
which did no damage.
A large detachment of Red Cross
nurses and doctors has just been sent
to Zapotian from Guadalajara. Other
smaller delegations have been sent to
Tonila, San Andres, Platanar, Tux
pan, and the city of Colima where
the mortality has been heavy
A strange feature of the earth
quake was that its greatest severity
seemed to fall in rings around the
volcano, between which were belts
that were almost immune from dam
| age.
The immediate vicinity of the vol
cano suffered heavily, after which a
zone fifty miles wide seems to have
escaped almost entirely This was
followed by another circle where the
oscillation was decided and prolong
ed
Mexico City fell within the terri
tory getting the full force of the
movement of the earth, but as the
greater portion of the city is protect
ed by the bed of silt, which formed
the old lake bottom on which the city
was built, damage occurred only il
the northern section, where the hou
SEES are constructed on the solid
ground that was formerly the shore
of the lake.
Immediately south of Mexico City
no damage was reported, but in the
zone in Vera Cruz and Chiapas The
shock was very severe.

COLLAR FACTORY
TO START MONDAY
MORNING
Full Force Of Employees VIII
Be Required Next Week
RECEIVERS ARE APPOINTED
Business to be Conducted by Arthur
J. Holden, Albert M. Torrance
and Irving e. Gibson

Word was received here from Man
chester this noon that Chancellor vii
liam h. Taylor of Hardwick, who Ia
presiding at the June term of county
court, had appointed three receivers
for the Bottum & Torrance company,
manufacturers of collars, sheets and
pillow cases and shirt waists, which
was closed Monday by an attachment
levied by Mrs. Jennie 8. Holden for
the collection of $4,000 note. The
receivers are Arthur j. Holden, AL
bert M. Torrance, and Irving K. Glib
son, all Of Bennington.
The first two named are members
Of the company. Mr.. Gibson was at
one time stakeholder and director
Of the company and therefore spec
tally qualified for the position. The
appointments are the result OF hear
ing held before Chancellor Taylor
yesterday and are made In accord
ance with an agreement of the par
ties concerned.
A beginning has already been made
for resumption of operations at the
factory. A portion OF the help will
be called In tomorrow and 1t is the
expectation that the business win be
resumed with full force of employees
Monday morning.
Considering the complications that
have resulted in the closing of the
factory the solution of the problem
thus far attained should be generally
pleasing to the public. Mr.. Gibson
is man Of generally recognized FIN
ancial ability and with the active as
sistance Of the other receivers the
business should be operated at pro-
fit in the immediate future as 1t has
in the past. The receivers are. not
limited in their authority They are
appointed for the purpose of opera
ting the business which is perfectly
solvent and prosperous. 1t Is not
expected that the receivership will be
one of long duration and that the
business will ultimately return to the
possession of the corporation.

deal gently and kindly with you,
strengthen your hearts to meet the
experiences of life which are before
you, give you joy and peace, and
| guide your feet safely to the realms
where the sun never sets, where cold,

where you will not suffer from
wounds of battle or from disease and
exposures of war but will be free,
clothed with the elements of immor-

One day in early summer
The circus came to town;
And Steven for to see II
To the city he went down;
And next day in the morning,
His pleasant face was missed;
And in all the leading dailies
There appeared an ad like this:-

Gone from his home
He went to see the circus
and, alas, he went alone,
Down to that wicked city
On the Hudson river, Troy,
Wen pay big reward for his
Return, our Stevie boy.
They sent in this description
Six feet, four inches high
His little shoes were No. 10
And bright blue Is his eyes

And vowing in our pain

If he comes back again"

Gone from his home
He went to see the circus
And, alas, he went alone,
Down to that wicked city
On the Hudson river, Troy,
Well pay big reward for his

Ten days, and one bright morning,
Our Steve came home once more
He hikes about the Woodford street
Just as he did of yore.
We ladies' all are smiling,

For we have got our hero Steve
Our worshiped s. NJ. B.

Lost, strayed or stolen
Gone from his home.

And he went all alone.
One day he bought a paper,
And read this mournful ad,
He grabbed his hat and hiked fol

So let US all be gald
