pines In his remarks , but mnphnslzed
the , fact that the admlnlBtratlon of

Klnley nnd Roosevelt had been abso
lutely of a nonpartinnn character.

tributes to the late President McKIn-
lay and to President Roosevelt for
their lofty policies In regard to the
administration of the Philippines were
loudly applauded. Ho also took occa
sion to laud the work of Secretary
Hoot , and said the criticism of the
army nnd navy was unjust. There
might have boon Idolater ! races of
Wuclty deserving censure , but the
( cases wcro the exception , .not Iho rule.
On the whole ho said the war wat con
ducted in a rnoHt humane manner. The
s , ho said , could never govern
without being taught to do
' 0. He thought congress was golug
'loo fast , rather thnn too Blow.
President Roosevelt received nn '
ovation when lie was Introduced with
Abe statement ho had the respect and
admiration of the people of the conn-
< ry without regard to political affilia
tions. The entlro assemblage arose

Refugees Describe Devastation

CROPS COMPLETELY DESTROYED
Canda of Mexican Robber * lnfe t the
Country , Murdering Refugee * and
Looting Abandoned Plantations ,
Which Am Covered With Debris.
Son Franclnco , Nov. 20. The first
of the refugees from the devastated
lands of Guatemala arrived yesterday
on the Pacific Moll steamer City of
Para. They came from the InlnniLwa
nnd traveled over a country laid waste
by sand , ashes and pumice before
reaching a railway station. They
sailed on Nov. 7 , when the volcano
was still smoking and rumbling of
thunder and flashes of lightning gave
evidence of more eruptions to come.
These people fled from their planta
tions In fear for their lives. They
escaped to the seaside with little more
than the clothing they wore. The
refugees confirm stories of loss of
life. They say that the victims for
the most part are Indians , thousands
of whom were asphyxiated or burled
In the Kami. Miles of plantations are
under ashes and absolute ruin Is the
lot of many planters.
Bands of Mexican robbers are now
warming the desolated regions , rob
ing nnd murdering refugees on the
oad and looting the abandoned and
csolate plantations.
The pcopla left behind on the plan-
atlons , It Is said , are in danger of
leath from starvation , for the food
upply had been cut off.
The steamer City of Para met evi
dcnces of the volcanic eruption soon
iter leaving Ocos. Great quantities
of pumlco were found ' floating on
ho water. At Champerlco there was
about half an inch of ash over the
roofs of the houses and the ground
was covered as though there had been
a snow storm. Ashes wcro then fall-
ng although it was sixteen days after
the first eruption of the mountain.
Word had been received from
Mazatcnango , on the outskirts of tbo
ruined territory , stating that Oct. 24
Santa Maria opened a crater on the
west sldo near Its base , and all that
night it bolchcd forth volumes of
ashus and lava over Folhu. On Sat
urday morning it was noted several
more craters In the neighborhood of
the mountain had opened up , and the ;
wcro all spouting volcanic debris ovci
the plantations of the district. Thcso
fresh craters were further to the west
and for over twenty-fours they were
In constant eruption. The earth was
in continual commotion , shaking down
buildings and causing much destruc
tion from the quaking. All the terrl
tory about Palmer , San Felipe , Pueblo ,
Nuevo and Rotalquleu was burled un
der nahes. Many of the plantations
were burled under from five to seven
feet of debris and all hope of evci
reclaiming thorn had been given up.
The whole neighborhood for miles was
a burning wilderness. About 4,000 ol
the natives and employes of the plant-
era had perished.

off the tow ropo. The glebe , left to
Itself , bobbed about In the heavy seas ,
but showed no Inclination to go over.

outside of the glebe , set a small sail ,
which they pulled through the man
hole with them. The air tunnel was

tanco of several miles.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
MuiiDKKKDl At Madison , November'
8 , the popular game of football.
William G. Oxnam ' 02 and his emile
renewed acquaintance at the high school'
room Wednesday.
Some of the members of the Junior
class wore not so successful In geometry
as had been expected of them.
The next time Randolph desires a
football game with Norfolk they are
not very likely to be accommodated.
Miss Pearl Reese , teacher of the
Eighth grade , entertained of her-
pnpila Friday evening , November 14. .
A pleasant time was enjoyed.
A social is to be given in the school'
room , in connection with n bazaar on :
December 20by the two Seventh grades ;
the proceeds to go toward a library
fund.
The Junior class enjoyed n party at
the ( home of Miss Ethel Long ou Friday ?
evening , November 14. Miss MoMillan-
nnd Miss Sisson enjoyed the evening'
with the members of the class.
The School News gave the score of
the Madison-Norfolk gome at 50 to 0. .
Perhaps the Norfolk team piled up the
score BO fast that the reporter was unable - '
able to keep up with the count.
Primary methods ofjhaving t'ojstay in
23 minutes after school are being en
forced on account of the freshness of some- .
of the Freshmen. And future classes to
enter the high school are advised to heed ,
well the primary rules so that they will
not require their enforcement after they
enter the high school or perhaps attend--
the university.
Since the football organization haff-
been so hard up as to finances and had
experienced so much difficulty in rais
ing the necessary funds , the members-
were sorely disappointed at the failures
of the Randolph team to keep their date
when everythingjwas so 'favorable ' to a-
good attendance nnd au enjoyable game.
Besides , the boys were sorry to dis
appoint the people who had contributed1
to the financialjcondition and were ex
pecting n good game.
"It is quite agreeable to be a servant ? "
