Although ‘the eruption of the volcano is less violent.than it was twenty-four hours ago, the ashes are still falling in”great quanti- tes: il The sea is gr:at]y agitated. The sky has-cleared,” but heavy clouds hang over.the east, threat- ening a further downpour. The streams of lava are almost stationary. Troops are “erecting barricades in the direction of Pompeii to prevent further dan- ger in that quarter. SCENES OF ABJECT MISERY. A press correspondent this evening made the round of the jmenaced vil- |lages. The rallway and tram tracks were inches deep below volcanic ashes and the same material made the roads impracticable for horses, so that an automobile was the only means left by { which the inspection of the devastated country could be made. < The scene was one of such: misery and terror that It can never be { obliterated from memory. As the way was" traversed the traveling Decame more and more difficult, the smoke and | ashes in the alr making breathing | aifficult. Slight tremblings of the earth were felt and frequent flashes of cut through the smoke. Darkness came at intervals long before | nighttall. | | 1In the streets of the deserted towns | the only sound to be heard was the | thump of lumps of ashes falling on | the roofs and the puffing of the auto- mobiles. In the towns where people yet remain the houses are closed, the | inhabitants remaining disconsolately | about the streets and gaining what | comtort is possible from the carbineers | and soldiers. These are the heroes of the day. They seem never to sleep or be tired and where there is danger | they are cool, strong and alert. VOLCANG'S CONE BLOWN OFF. | - In the course of the tour a point was | reached from which Vesuvius could be | seen under its cloud of smoke. The high cone of the volcano has gone al- | most entirely, having been swallowed | up so that the height of the mountajn | s nearly 600 feet less than formerly. | On the north side of the mountain new craters have been formed. threatened vil- lages are coming into Naples by every | description of conveyance and on foot. The roads are crowded with proces- | sions of men and women carrying | crosses and crying piteously. Special railway trains, warships and | steamers aré conveying the thousands of” homeless people to Naples, Rome | and Castellamare, while large numbers | of people are flecing overland in the | direction of Caserta. Not less than 15.- | 000 refugees have reached Castella- mare,” where the steamer Princess Ma- falda is anchored. This vessel left the island of Capri with 1000 passengers, including many foreigners, on board, but she was unable to reach her desti- nation owing to the stifling clouds of ashes and ‘the fumes of gases from the | yolcano which enveloped her a mile | from the coast. King Victor Emmanuel and -Queen Helena have further endeared them- selves to the people by their activity in behalf of sufferers by the eruption and the Government is exerting itself for the reclief of the destitute. This work, however, is obstructed by the cengestion of all means of transpor- tation which are monopolized in the | carrying of people out of the zone of danger. KING AND QUEEN FEARLESS. The King and Queen and their suites arrived at Naples this morning from Rome. When the royal train reached the.station the eruption of the volcano was almost at its worst, ‘but both: in- sfsted upon leaving immediately * for Torre Anunziata, the King declaring: “If Torre Anunziata Is in danger it is my duty to be there.” Traveling In automobiles and accom- panied by the Duke and Duchess Aosta and the Princess of Schleswig: Holstein, they set out for the affiicted districts, Touching scenes greeted them along the’ way. By the King's order there was.no attempt to keep the people away from him. The sovereigns visited Santa Anastasia, Cercola’and Somma Vésuviana, where they ‘were greeted with great enthusiasm. The Minister -of Finance has sus- pended the collection of taxes in.the disturbed provinces. The military au- thorities are distributing rations and have placed huts and tents at the dis- posal of the homeless. Professor di Lorenzo, the scientist and specialist in the study of voleanoes, estimated that the smoke from’ Ve suvius has reached the height ot 25 000 feet, The statement is made here thut in the vicinity of ©ttajano cinders : and ashes from the volcano lie to a!depth of 150 feet, TOWN OF ‘NOLA BURNING.” The-town :of -Nola, an>old,place of 15,000 inhabitants, - twenty-two . miles from Naples, was burning today under the showers of ashes coming fromthe crater, which were carrled by the wind as far-as the Adriatic Sea. ¥ San Gilorgio and Terre del Greco were half buried-in ashes.and sand, and the roofs of many houses had fallen In or were collapsing. About150,000 refugees from veunfluu had sought shélter here and elsgwhere. Four thousand.were lodged granite barracks. Y An excursion steamship attem, Hng to reach Naples from the lahmf Capri today had to return, as the’ pua» engers were being !lfl!ocated by the- ashes, ANALYSIS OF TEE ASHES.

Only about 2000 out of 32,000 inhabi- tants of Torre Amnunziata dared to,re- main in the town, which was patrolled by, soldiers. GnA’l‘l'l‘l?DE TO ROYAL PARTY. ‘When .King . Victor. Emmanuel .and Queen Helena visited the towns and villages in the path of the lava stream the eruption of the volcano was most violent. “The royal party was received with the most touching manifestations of gratitude amid cheers and weeping expressions of thanks and frantic ges- ticulations of joy. The women kissed the King's hand and the Queen's gown, exclaiming: “God sent you to us.” One of the women addressing King, cried: “If thou art our King, order the vol- cano to stop.” The sovereigns visited Santa Anas- tasia, Cerola, Somma -and Vesuviana, arousing the same enthusiasm among the people at those places as when they first reached the scene of the.dis- aster. At a certain point the King and his suite, who occupied several auto- mobiles, were struck by a small cy- clone of ashes. and cinders, which part- 1y blinded, choked and stopped them. As the King's motor car was the first and was some dfstance ahead of the car in which the members of his suite were riding, it was Jost sight of for some time in+thé’ clouds of whirling ashes and considerable anxiety was felt for his Majesty's safety. But it was dis- covered that the King had ordered his . automobile to be driven at full speed ahead and had crossed the path of the cyclone with great rapidity. A short distance farther on, however, the ashes were four feet deep, making it impossible for-the royal party to con- tinue: their route in the motor cars. Consequently the King and his suite descended and continued their way on foot. Later in the afternoon the royal party. returned to Naples and visited the temporary lodging places prepared for -the fugitives from the Vesuvian towns and villages. z ENTOMBING OF BBOSCOTRE;CAZ. ROME, April 9.—The Giornale d'Italia thig afternoon published a dispatch from Naples giving an interview with Lieu- ‘tenant Carrocchi, commandjng a detach- ment of troons, who witnessed the de- struction of Boscotrecaz as a result of the eruption .of Mount Vesuvius. - The lieutenant is quoted as follows: All was qulet in‘the town just before its de- struction, the people believing that they were safe from the stream of lava, but after mid- night flerce rumbiings were 'heard, followed by violent. earthquake shocks, which “shat- tered the windows and cracked the walls, The Java then.bean flowing from Mount Cira- mella, near where a fresh fissure opened a few days ago. A wild panic ensued, the people rushing. about “in’the strcets, shrieking with terror. The Ciramella craier was by fhat time hurt: ing forth masees of incandescent rock and a cutrent- of fire which, sweeping down the' mountain with ' te; d, flowed in two gireams. One of them, yardg broad, was, ovifiw toward the. center of the town. The: population fled in' terrof to Torre Anunsiata, while the soldiers visited' -the houses to see all the intabitants <scaped. hey Fescued several hedridden old people, who hagd been left behind by their terrified relatives, - Indescribable scenes of panic were witnessed. The peovle seemed to have lost all -control over themselves. The town was hardly evacuated when a river of fire invaded.the houses and soon after Boscotrecaz seemed to be enveloped in flames. —_—————— NEW EDUCATION BILL IN BRITAIN LONDON, Aprll 9.—The education bill, the main measure on the Liberal programme for the present session, was introduced in the House today by Mr. Birrell, president of the Board of Edu- cation. The difficujty in completely satisfying any single religious group and the impossibility of framing a measure acceptable to all the political parties speedily became apparent as Mr. Birrell unfolded his plan. Under the nroposed scheme: religious education may be glyen in hitherto un- proyided schools (if they are. taken over by the educational authorities) two. mornings weekly by consent of the local authorities, but not by the regu- lar staff. Nor shall the attendance of pupils he compulsery. The bill provides for a further an- .nual grant of $5,000,000 from the im- ‘perial exchequer for educational ~pur- poses and proposes ‘the establishment of a National Educational Couneil for Wales. i 2 The House was’ crowded when the session opened. Embassador Reid was in ‘the diplomatic = gallery and the | Archbishops of Canterbury and York and Catholic' Archbishop Bourne of Westminster were among the promi- nent persons present. Sir William: Apson, Liberal, repre- sénting’ Oxford University, declared that the bill was not based on a broad principle which made a sSettlement of'| the religlous' difficulty possible. James Ramsey MacDonald, Labor and Soclalist, speaking in behalf of the La- bor party, supported the bill, but sald would oppose any attempt to teach “the skeleton of religion” -as pronosed in_the bill. A - George' Wyndham, Conservative, for- merly Chiet Secretary for Ireland.. op- posed the bill on the ground that the Church of England had. certain claims, which he thought reasonable and which he believed ought to he taken into con- sideration by the Government. Sir Alfred Thomas, chairman of tha Welsli Liberal Parliamentary party, speaking in behalf ot ‘Wales, support- ed the bill.-* Lord Robert Cecil lald the church cared little for the. Jjustice or injustice the of taking its ‘property, but did care | about : interference with the religious teaching of children. The bill provided for the establishment of undenomina- tionalism, which proposal was marked by a profound -intolerance, which not only is unjust, but unvorkn.bl- and if passed it must lead to the secularizing 0f . sehools. Mr. Birrell wound “up the debate b! declaring that the measure was a honest attempt to deal with a difficult problem. The bill was tomally passed on first reading. ———————————— Kt“ed n Attempt to l-hpu ATLANTA, Ga April 0.—Lewls Persell, a mmhrr pflwner -t I'un Inm:‘n. ‘was mt /#it kiled toa hile making third at- wh ‘within ' lou.r s l.h Syl :‘::“: i in_the endeavor o Luaim caqied o B o mmm:nude;:%:fl o o | Ko o o B, TUESDAY, APRIL b In g0 doing | - 10, 1906.
