K Naples, '.ttaiyJ-.Tae;'. inhabitants . of
lhe villages in-the 'vicinity of Mount
".Vesuvius are in' a condition of panic.
3Ian homes have been aba ndoued,
; and the atmosphere is dense w ith vo.

in explosions which resemble a heavy

--the earth, which are constantly recur-
ring.-
;.i The main stream of lava from Vesu
vius' is 200 feet wide, and it advances
It times at the rate of t wen r;-one feet
a minute, the intense heat destroying
i Vegetation before the stream reaches it.
The peasants of rortici. at the west
fCfoot-of Vesuviusv cleared their grounds
i of vineyards and' trees in the effort to
Jessen the danger from tire, and resist
' ed the progress of the lava to their ut
v?.most. The population of Boseotrecase,
j.on the southern declivity of the raoun-
tain, have sought safety iu flight, and
ItBoseo lleale,-to the eastward, is also
.. threatened. Women of this village,
Sweeping with fright, carried a statue
sof Sr. Anne as near as they could go to
I: the; flowing lava, imploring a miracle
U to stay the advance of the consuming i
stream: ' ' ' '
The cemetery at Boscotrcease has
been invaded by lava.
Tiie scene at night is one of mingled
; grandeur and horror, as from the sum
mit of Vesuvius there leaps a-column
i;of fire fully 1000 feet in height, the glare
lighting sky and sea for many miles.
Occasionally great masses of molten
-stone, some weighing as much as a ton,
f are 'ejected from the crater.
The village of Torre del Grecc. which
'has been eight limes ' destroy ecP and as
H ofte"n rebuiltr is again threatened, and
lthe inhaDi'tarits are in extreme terror.
? Signor Matteucci, director of the ob
heervatory, is working indefatigably.
tj He has had military engineers estab

observatory and points within the vol

although the eruption presented a
grave menace, he did not believe it

not altogether unmixed-with good, for

On the Pompeii side the main stream

H MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP S LOSS.
XJreat Falling Off in the Yole iu One
. Year in Chicago.
Chicago. An analysis- of the elec
tion returns shows a large falling off
in the vote for municipal ownership
as compared with thv vote a year ago,
"when Mayor Dunne was elected. A
year ago one public policy question on
the little ballot was: ' Shall Council
pass any ordinance granting a fran
Jiise to any street railway company?"
The vote was. "No." 132.133; "yes."
50,213; the total vote being 211.148.
Those favoring municipal ownership
voted in the negative, and had a ma
jority of 93,122 on a small vote. At
the late election, on a 231,000 vote,
they are only able to score a majority
of 3339 votes for the $73,000,000 or
dinance. -. The Socialists were jubilant over
-the fact that their total vote reached
27,715, an increase of 73S2 f.ver the
vote which tliey polled last year. The
City Council stands thirty for munic
ipal ownership, thirty-two against, and
eight doubtful. There are thirty-six
Democrats and" thirty-four Republi-!
cans.

1 1 Sittiation More HopCfuL ;
This lias been a day of terror for
the cities, towns and country about
.Mount .yesuyitrs. At, midnight the
situatioii .appears more, assuring, the
lava streams having diminished m
volume, and in some directions having
stopped altogether, while a copius
rainfall is. cooling the lava where it
lies stationary. .
V, Almost equal with the devastation
wrought, by t the lava is the damage
done by cinders and ashes," which in
considerable quant ites have been car
ried great clistaiices. This has caused
the practical destruction of San Guies
eppe, a place of , 0,000 inhabitants.
All but .200 of the people had flcnLfrom
San .Guiespoe, and these 200 assemb
led in the' church to artend mass,
while the priest was performing his
sacred office the roof fell in, and
about GO persons were badly iujured.
These unfortunates were for hours
Svithout ?food or medical attention.
The only thing left standing insthe
church was a statue of St. Annetthe
preservation of which the jxwr. home
less people accepted as a miracle and
promise of .deliverance .from their
peril. .
150,000 Have Fled.
About 150,000 refugees from Vesii
viana had sought shelter here and
elsewhere. Four thousand were lodged
in the barracks in this city.
All the trains were delayed owing
to the tracks .being covered with cin
ders, and telegraphic communication
with all points was badly congested.
The stream 'of lava Avhich had been
threatening Torre Annunziata. a town
of 2S,000 inhabitants, 12 miles from
Naples, on the road to Castellamare,
had remained stationary since Sun
day evening so that the danger that
the place wold be overwhelmed ap
peared to have passed.
The 'action of Mount Vesuvius had
perceptibly diminished and the show
er of ashes caused to fall over Na
ples for a time. But ashes and sand
began falling again Jater in the day.
When the last traiu' was leaving
Boscitrecaz a fresh crater opened near
the observatory station.

WORK OF CONGRESS
vThat is Being Done Day by Day By

After Southern Fast MauV
When the House convened Speaker
Cannon appointed the following com
mittee to participate in the exercises
attendant upon the second centennary
of Benjamin Franklin's birth to be
held at Philadelphia April 17: Messrs
Olmsted of .Pennsylvania ; Stevens' of
Minensota; Fassett-of New York;
Hoar of Massachusetts; Smith of Ma
ryland; Pou of North Carolina: Ryan
of New York, and Watkins of Lou
isiana. The bill making it obligatory for
the circuit and district court of the
middle district of Alabama to sit six
months at Birmingham was passed.
Mr. Gaines of West Virginia se
cured consent to have printed in The
Record Judge Humphrey 's opinion in
the beef packers' cases, the oral ar
gument made by the Attorney Gen
eral and the several statntes relating
to compulsory testimony and result
ing immunity from prosecution.
The. postoffice appropriation bill
was then taken up.
Mr. Moon of Tennessee, the rank
ing minority member of the post-office
and post roads committees, in
explanation of the several provisions
of the postoffice appropriation bill,
aid that the railroads contended that
they were not receiving sufficient pay
to carry the mails notwithstanding
ihe charges made that the railroads
were receiving sums of LM ney far in
excess of the value of the service
rendered. He insisted that if the ap
propriation for railway mail service
was to be cut down it ought to be
after complete investigation.
Should Forego Benefits.
After citing instances of special
privileges to certain Southern locali
ties, Mr. Moon asked: 'What does
the Democratic party demand on this
question! It repudiates, it denounces
it condemns every character of sub
sidy. The Republican Dlatform does
likewise. Can you say-to the people
of the United States, standing upon
your platform and opposed to ship
subsidy, that you are ready, beeause
of little paltry benefit to your imme
diate section, to violate the pledges
of your party and the great tenets
that it has held for a century i I
believe the Southern Democrats ought
to appeal to their people, and not to
this railroad company which is grant
ed special privileges between Wash
ington, Atlanta and New Orleans."
"President Not a Czar."
The House during its session lis
tened to a criticism of the President
on the part of Mr. Fitzgerald New
York) for the failure of he Chief
Executive to properly advise the
House as to the objections .he had
to the bill opening 503,000 acres of
land : for grazing purposes in Okla
homa territory, instead of advising
the members of the Indian Affairs
Committee as to the weakness of the
measure so that it might be amended
to meet, the -wishes of the Commis
sioner of Indian Affairs.
Mr. Fitzgerald, in the course of his
strictures on the President, said:
y'This is not Russia. The Presi
dent is not like the Czar, who origi
nates and enacts legislation. The
President may recommend, but he can
neither originate or enact legislation.
"Somebody may say this is trivial.
The history of all governments which
have parliamentary institutions shows
that the failure to resist trivial en
croachment on the part of, the chief
executive has led to vast encroach-
J, A. MaddreY, Cashier
V
ments until the legislative branch of
the government existed in name on
ly." The Postoffice Appropriation "bill
.was taken up, but beyond explanation
of the bill by the chairman of the
Postoffice Committee. Mr. Overstreet
(Ind.), no headway was made.
White House Conference.
There was a reverberation in the
Senate of the echo of the White
House conference of last Saturday
relative to the pending railroad rate
legislation, and while it ended in good
nature, there was a time vhen the
feeling was quite intense. The inci
dent occurred at the close of a speech
by Mr. Stone, which was devoted
largely, to a discussion cf that con
ference. After the Missouri Ssaior
had taken his seat Mr. Dolliver tok
the floor and in the course of a brief
speech devoted to a defense of the
right ot Senators to confer with the
President, charged that other Sena
tors had been in consultation with
the presidents of railroad companies.
The intimation contained in the
charge was resented by both Mr.
Bailey and Mr. Foraker and they de
manded the names of the Senators
referred to. These Mr. Dolliver de
clined to give, but he justified his
course in making the charge by say
ing that he- and other Senators who
had participated in the eonfereHce
had been sneered at and ridiculed in
the discussion of last Tuesday. This
avowal of his motive brought about
an explanation from Mr. Foraker and
the incident ended pleasantly.
Demand the Names.
Mr. Bailey, in following Mr. Dolli
ver, first outlined his cwn position iu
opposition to the practice of confer
ring with the President. He said that
thexpresent .situation presented pecu
liar reasons why the President should
not interfere in legislation.
He then said: "The Senator from
Iowa is not given to intemperate or
iucalculous speech and when he sug
gests that Senators have been con
sulting with railroad, pi cedents he
utters a serious reflection n some
Senators." .
Mr. Foraker endorsed the statement
by Mr. Bailey and demanded the
names.
Mr. Dolliver declined to give the
names, then he said he meant no im
proprietv. and added that he did not
believe that a Senator's right to con
fer with the railroad men should he
