One Town is Wiped Out No Trace o Commune that Had 10,000 People Town of r.O.OOO on Gulf of Naplc : Ks Been Depopulated. Naples advices state that hope tha t. Vesuvius was becoming calm wa ; dissipated Sunday when the volcam became more active than ever. The panic has spread to Naples. Tw < strong earthquake shocks , which shat tered windows and cracked the Avail : of buildings , were experienced Sun day. The entire population rushed tc the streets in terror , many persons crying : "The Madonna has forsaker us ; the end of the world has come ! ' No trace remains of Boscotrecase , t commune on the southern declivity oi the mountain , where up to forty-eight Tiours ago 10,000 persons lived , and Terre Annunziata , on the shores ol the Gulf of Naples one mile to the southward , is almost surrounded by the invading lava and has been evac uated by its 30,000 inhabitants. The people were brought to Naples bj > "trains , street cars , military carts and steamships. Similar means of trans portation are being employed to bring away the people from Terre del Gre co. The police and carbiners are guai-ding the abandoned houses , and - several members of the government also are there. ! ! With the danger and horror of the situation aside , Vesuvius presents one of the most splendid sights imagina- ! ble. The mountain of fire , whose speech is by detonation and whose acts are destruction , seems like an enraged giant determined to make the pigmies of earth feel the might of his wrath. Here and there on the mountain side stand the blasted trunks of pine trees , their bare branches outstretched as though in protest against the devas tation the volcano has wrought. Breathing is momentarily becoming more difficult because of the poison ous fumes and smoke , while the hot ashes which are still falling tend to make life a burden. Contrary to expectation the sea has i not yet shown signs of being affected by the phenomena , but fears are en tertained that tidal1 waves 'may yet come , and many crafts have put to sea. Visitors to Naples , are avoiding the hotels on the sea front and the people living there are beginning to leave for higher altitudes. Though there is much misery up to Ihe present time there are no fatali ties except at Portici , whe-e an old woman died supposedly from fright. SAX FRAXCISCO REDS IX RIOT.

Vesuvius is now most vie lent. lent.On On the Pompeii side the mai stream of lava has divided into twc one threatening Ottajano , a c'ommun of 20,000 inhabitants , and the othe threatening Terre del Greco , with ; population of-30,000. The danger is becoming serious , am calls have been made for the imme diate evacuation of Boscotrecase , th nearest village to the crater , which ha a population of 9,060. The Inhabitants of the vllllages ii the vicinity of Mt. Vesuvius are in i condition bordering on panic. Man : homes have been abandoned for thi open air , although there has been j thick fog all day and the atmosphen has been thick with volcanic ashe : and the fumes of subterranean fires The churches are crowded day am night with people praying for .deliver ance from an impending peril , mani festations of which are heard and fel in explosions which resemble a heavj cannonading and in the tremblings o : the earth which are constantly recur ring. ring.The The main stream of lava proceeding from Vesuvius is 200 feet wide and i : rises at times at the rate of twenty- one feet a minute , the intense heat de stroying vegetation before the strearr reaches it. The population of Boscotrecase , or the southern declivity of the moun tain , have sought safety In flight , anc Bosco Reale , to the eastward , is alsc threatened. Women of this village , weeping with fright , carried a statu of St. Anne as near as they could gc to the flowing lava , imploring a mira cle to stay the advance of the con suming stream. The cemetery at Boscotrecase has been invaded by lava. The scene al night is one of mingled grandeur and horror , as from the summit of Vesu vius there leaps a. column of flre fully 1,000 feet in height , the glare light ing the sky and sea for many miles. Occasionally great masses of molten stone , some weighing as much as a ton , are ejected from the crater. ' CRUISER SENT TO SCEXE. Illegal Fishing on the Coast of New foundland. A St. Johns , N.

A letter was found in a pocket of his clothing Thursday giving com plete directions as to the disposition to be made of his property in case he was found dead. TROUBLE FEARED IN MOSCOW. Strong Force of Cossaeks in the In dustrial Quarter. The political prisoners with whom the Moscow jails are crowded , have leclared a "hunger strike" ( refusing : o partake of food ) to compel the au- Lhorities either to bring them to im- nediate trial or order their release. This decision has increased the ex- jitement caused by the election cam- mign. Strong detachments of Cos sacks are patrolling the industrial luarters. Prefers Death to Idleness.

MAY NOT ARBITRATE. Operators Inclined to Reject Miners Plan. A New York special says : Ilavinj failed to come to an agreement amonj themselves the hard coal miners o Pennsylvania , through their represent atives , Thursday proposed to the op erators that all matters in dispute b ( referred to a board of arbitratior i for settlement , the tribunal to be composed - { posed of the board of conciliatior which was created by the award o1 the anthracite strike commission Sr 1903 , with Judge George Gray , oi | Delaware , or any person he may appoint - | point as chairman and umpire. If the operators accept the proposition and a convention of mine workers ap proves the plan the 160,000 men now idle in the anthracite fields will return to Avork at once * While it has been reported for sev eral days that the miners might ask that the differences be arbitrated the proposition made to the mine owners Thursday came to them as a great surprise , as they did not believe the union leaders were ready to leave the controversy to a third party at this time. That the operators will accept the miners' proposal as submitted is not generally believed ; in fact , it is inti mated they may flatly refuse the offer on the ground that the existing con ditions are the result of arbitration. The employers have decided to con sider the miners' latest move and promise to give President Mitchell and his men an answer on Monday , when another meeting of the two sub committees will be held in New York. The idle anthracite miners ask that the conciliation board created by the strike commission act as arbitrators with Judge George Gray , of Delaware , or any person he may appoint as- chairman and umpire. If the opera tors agree to the plan and it is ap proved by the convention of miners , operations in the hard coal fields will be resumed at once. The operators do not look with favor on the plan , but will give their answer to the min ers Monday. Reports from various sections of the soft coal regions show that condi tions in these fields are improving. There was more coal mined in that territory than on any day since the strike begun. The production of coal , however , is not as large as was ex- pected. ERUPTIONS ARE ALARMING. Great Streams of Lava Pour Out of Vesuvius. / Naples advices state that the erup tion of Mt.

Smoke and ashes are carried so far that all Naples is sprin kled with cinders. The Neapolitans are not alarmed ; in fact , they say they are glad , saying the new eruption Df Vesuvius is in preparation for the arrival of King Edward , who is ex. pected there soon.

Referee in Grain Suits Intcrprctatioi of Law Involved Not Likely to B < Had Until a Case is Presented t < Court. The supreme court met Tuesda : and some very interesting and impor tant matters 'affecting the state cami up. The most important , insofar a : the entire state is concerned , of course was the grain case. The court an nounced it will name a referee to tak < testimony in these cases. Attorney General Brown , as soon as the cour signifies its intention to act in accord ance with his suggestion , recommend ed the appointment of Judge Calkins of Kearney , to be the referee. So fai the attorneys for the grain men hav < made no recommendation. The recent decision handed down bj 'the court in this case merely overruled the demurrer to the petition- the attorney general. At the time the de cision was made it was the general understanding of lawyers the court had upheld all of the anti-trust laws , including the criminal clause , but af ter a careful study of the opinion , both the attorney general and the lawyers for the defendants say they do not know what the court meant and each has asked for an interpretation. Each side wants the court to tell what laws are constitutional before the introduc tion ft testimony. The court has fre- 'quently held it will not pass on any question which has not been raised in the case , or , in other words , it is the opinion of lawyers that if an opin ion is wanted on the constitutionality of the anti-trust laws , the only way it can be secured is for some one to be tried under the provisions of the laws. The attorneys for the Nye-Snyder- Fowler Company , in a brief filed re cently , claim it will take about twen ty-one years to get all the evidence in and it sets up this argument to get the court to pass on the laws before the 'evidence is taken. It has been said the criminal clause can easily be test ed by having one of the grain dealers arrested under its provisions and try him. Then the matter would be brought directly before the court.

FIXD FORGOTTEX SCAFFOLD. Hangman's Structure Raked Out c Grand Island Court Attic. An tjld scaffoffld , covered wit dust and cobwebs , but all complet for its grewsome use , has just bee ; discovered in the attic of the old cour house at Grand Island , which is bein , torn down. Everybody had forgotte : that the scaffold had been stored but a few old residents can recall th one time it was used.
