Seymour, has his own ideas about max

ers seem to think they are pretty good
ideas, too. They are tickled with the
crisp, spicy little paragraphs Of editorial
comment which appear each day; they
are delighted with the good, sound,
militant Democracy - old fashioned,
Jeffersonian Democracy and the merci
less exposure OF Republican fallacies
and misrule; they are laughing over
the caricatures and funmaking cartoons;
they are interested in the stories Of
strange, novel things that happen. in
everyday life and recognize the superior
manner in which the news in general is
given; they are pleased with the new
dress The Republic is wearing clearer
type and more open lines.
The enlarged size Of The Republic,
its enlarged staff Of writer's, lis enlarged
facilities for obtaining and printing the
news and the liveliest and best editorial

Details are Received.

Seattle, Wash, June 12.-Details
of the havoc wrought along the Alas
ka peninsula and the adjoining is
lands of Kodiak, Afognak and Rasp-
berry by the eruption of Katmai vol
cano, which burst forth last Thurs
day, are coming in slowly. From the
meager reports received at Seward,
the nearest cable station to the scene
of the disaster, it is apparent that
the greatest damage was done, pre-
sumably with great loss of life,
among the little fishing villages on
the coast of the peninsula, virtually
at the foot of the volcano.
No definite news has been received
from the settlements, which have a
population of about 200, mostly ma
tives, but reports from Uyak, pros
porous cannery town on the opposite
side of Shelikof strait, said that it
was improbable that those on the
mainland escaped. The news from
Uyak indicated, however, that there
was no loss of life ON Kodiak is
land, the largest ana most populous
of the distressed group.
Every effort is being made to get
aid to the stricken villages. Captain
Kirkland w. Berry commander of the
revenue cutter Manning, has been at
Kodiak since the eruption began and
has taken personal charge of direct
ing relief. His vessel undoubtedly
saved the lives of many persons in
Kodiak for he ordered all the 500
men, women and children in the town
to board his ship as soon as the erup
tion began, and since the outburst
subsided the officers and crew of the
Manning have devoted all their ener-
by to assisting the destitute people,
Calls for relief funds have been
sent out by committees appointed by
the citizens of Cordova and Seward.
The government has been asked 20
order the transport Meridian which
is in Alaskan waters, to proceed at
once to Kodiak. The transport is
stocked with provisions which are
sorely needed in the distressed dis
trict.
The effect of the eruption on vege-
tation was indicated by a message
receveid by S. N. Snodgrass, who has
charge of the government experiment
al station at Kodiak, now in Seattle,
which said that there was imminent
danger of losing all the stock at the
station because of the pollution of the
water supply and the destruction of
forage and grain. A supply Of grain
for the stock was shipped from sitka
yesterday.
