NOT TO FAKE EFFECT NOW. COLLISION WITH COSSACKS. I'lus X. has been overexerting himself to such an extent that his naturally strong constitution was unable to bear the strain put upon It by the coronation ceremonies. Such has been the effect upon hlu nerves that he has been unable to sleep for whole nights, while numerous receptions yesterday made matters worse. His holiness Insisted upon admitting yesterday morning to hear his mass all Venetians who lind come to Itome to attend the coronation. They numbered about :10ft when the mass began in the Pauline chapel, and the air was vitiated, while the temperature was above no degrees. M. Gauthler, the magistrate for the district, says one of the main cimges of the loss of life was that those escaping took the wrong exit, one passage letting out to the street while the other was barred as It was usually used for admitting passengers. Many of the victims sought the barred exit and were found massed against the wall, where they had been slowly suffocated. TREMENDOUS DAMAGE DONE.

When Mr. Roosevelt became president Secretary Iioot indicated his wish to leave the cabinet within a year, but his friendship for the president was so stanch and his interest in pending questions before the war department so deep that he was persuaded to remain for a longer period than he had intended. Friday after tlie Cossacks had boon repulsed the Infantry was ordered up. and the strikers too refuge In the huts along the river, where many were killed. A number of corpses fell "into the The pope bad already given the communion to 200 people when he began to feel 111. Those about him soon noticed that he was not himself by the nervousness and impatience which were shown when his attendant handed him his spectacles. He pushed tliem aside and drew another pair from his pocket. When another attendant tried to tin the ribbons of his robes behind him he told him to stop ancKUd it himself, a most unusual occurrence with him. The particulars of the catastrophe arc as follows: Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. 12.—The entire Island of Jamaica suffered severely from a hurricane which swept over It last night. houses were blown down or unroofed in the suburbs of Kingston. The railway, telegraph an:J telephone systems were put out of business. An American schooner in Kingston harbor was badly damaged. Other shipping also suffered more or less. The banana industry received a blow from which it will take years to recover. A conservative estimate of the damage is about J2,500,000. An electric motor of a crowded train of eight cars failed to act just before the train reached the station of Les Couronnes, and this crippled train was pushed forward by another train of eight cars until It was midway her tween I.es Couronnes and the stationof Menllmontant. At that point the damaged dynamo set fire to the first train. The flames spread rapidly backward along tile lines of the sixteen cars, and the passengers struggled out in panic. river One lot Children's Muslin Drawers, all sizes, very special price for the week 9c A St. Petersburg dispatch says that the riots created a deep Impression.

The sympathy of the educated classes is with the workmen, as the move ment is directed not only for the amelioration of labor conditions, but also agulnst the despotic system of govern ment. The workmen are regarded as the pioneers in the movement for political freedom. PEOPLE S STORE WILKESBARRE, PA. 15 South Main St., Pittston. ALWAYS THE CHEAPEST. Into these two burning trains a third train dashed, and it also caught on lire, the flames consuming twenty out of the twenty-four cars. It is not expected that the secretary will present his resignation to the president before he leaves for England to take up the work of the Alaskan boundary commission. He has not presented Ills resignation yet and has not Informed the president when he will present it. It can be said that the president expects that the country will have the benefit of Secretary Root's services yet for several months, certainly until the beginning of the next year. Fortunately among the Venetians present was rDr. Davenezia, who for nine years had/Wen the pope's attending physician luVi'iiice, but had been called only once during that time, to treat a sore throat. He gave the pontiff Immediate assistance, while the messengers telephoned to IIr. Lapponi. The latter hastened to the Vatican, but did not arrive there until after the pope had been restored to consciousness and taken to his own apartment. Instantly the subway became a place of horror, made so by five causes—the darkness, for all the electric lights went out; the terrible, charged rail against which the struggling people fell, the rapidly burning cars, the furnacelike air of the tunnel, and the suffocating smoke. EVANS BROS. PRICES MACEDONIA'S REVOLUTION. A Baku dispatch says that the rattling rifle fire renders sleep impossible on nights when the water mains arc cut. No one dares to help extinguish the petroleum springs tires for fear of being shot. Meagre New# of An Alarming Nature Dribbling Through Lines. London, Aug. 12.—A dispatch from Sofia today states that communication between Monastlr and Salonika is interrupted and that, as a result, it is impossible to obtain authentic news of the revolution. Such news, however, as Is dribbling through is of the most alarming character. Constantinople advices report that Boris Saratoff, leader of the Macedonian revolutionists, is devastating the district in of Fiorina, a town of 11,001)jinhabitants, 17 miles southwest of Monastir. The 36 Macedonian committeemen who were arrested at Salonika some days ago were convicted of plotting against the government, but have not been sentenced. Add to these an angle In the subway in which the terrified throngs were literally squeezed to death, and it will be granted that it Is a miracle how any came out of the death tunnel alive. London firms have received advices from Kiev, Russia, which say that the strikers have completely paralyzed business and will not allow finished machinery to be delivered from manufactories. The men turned girls out of dressmaking and other workings under threats of death. Best Patent Flour, per bbl.. f■4.75 Gr. Sugar, l'J lbs for 1.00 1 pint Fruit Jars, per doz. .. .45 1 C it.

Aug. 12.—In the presence of one of the largest and perhaps the most distinguished congregations St. Patrick's cathedral ever held, Archbishop John M. Farley was today invested with the pallium, the official emblem of his high office. The service was solemn and was marked with all the pomp of-the ceremonials of tlie church. It gave the archbishop the full privileges of his rank which, since his appointment by Pope Leo, he has not held except by special dispensation. Archbishop Falconio, papal delegate, performed the ceremony of investure. There were present at the ceremony a score of archbishops and bishops about 900 priests, and the most representative of the Roman Catholics of the archdiocese. WE CARRY THE BEST FLOUR manufactured.

Some other changes also would be involved in the appointment of Governor Taft as secretary of war, but nothing definite concerning them can be satd at this time. Omaha, Neb., Aug. 12.—Two thousand people shook Manila with General Milrs here. He greeted the crowds In a cheerful manner, but did uot addrese them. Just before boarding his train for the west General Xliles was asked if he was a candidate for the position of commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic and had this to say: "I ara not seeking it.

Constantinople, Aug. 12.—Some anxiety is felt for the safety of Dr. Maudelstam, the acting Russian consul at Uskub, who was appointed to succeed the late M. Rostkowski, who was murdered. In spite of the first refusal of the mutessarlf (governor) to give him an escort Dr. Mandelstam Insisted upon proceeding to his new post, and after referring the matter to Hilml I'asha. the inspector general, he obtaiued one and started upon his own responsibility across the country for Monastir. Nothing has been heard of him since. The sultan has offered an indemnity of $40,- 000 to the widow of the late M. Rostkowski.

I'lus X. has been overexerting himself to such an extent that his naturally strong constitution was unable to bear the strain put upon It by the coronation ceremonies. Such has been the effect upon hlu nerves that he has been unable to sleep for whole nights, while numerous receptions yesterday made matters worse. His holiness Insisted upon admitting yesterday morning to hear his mass all Venetians who lind come to Itome to attend the coronation. They numbered about :10ft when the mass began in the Pauline chapel, and the air was vitiated, while the temperature was above no degrees. M. Gauthler, the magistrate for the district, says one of the main cimges of the loss of life was that those escaping took the wrong exit, one passage letting out to the street while the other was barred as It was usually used for admitting passengers. Many of the victims sought the barred exit and were found massed against the wall, where they had been slowly suffocated. TREMENDOUS DAMAGE DONE.

When Mr. Roosevelt became president Secretary Iioot indicated his wish to leave the cabinet within a year, but his friendship for the president was so stanch and his interest in pending questions before the war department so deep that he was persuaded to remain for a longer period than he had intended. Friday after tlie Cossacks had boon repulsed the Infantry was ordered up. and the strikers too refuge In the huts along the river, where many were killed. A number of corpses fell "into the The pope bad already given the communion to 200 people when he began to feel 111. Those about him soon noticed that he was not himself by the nervousness and impatience which were shown when his attendant handed him his spectacles. He pushed tliem aside and drew another pair from his pocket. When another attendant tried to tin the ribbons of his robes behind him he told him to stop ancKUd it himself, a most unusual occurrence with him. The particulars of the catastrophe arc as follows: Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. 12.—The entire Island of Jamaica suffered severely from a hurricane which swept over It last night. houses were blown down or unroofed in the suburbs of Kingston. The railway, telegraph an:J telephone systems were put out of business. An American schooner in Kingston harbor was badly damaged. Other shipping also suffered more or less. The banana industry received a blow from which it will take years to recover. A conservative estimate of the damage is about J2,500,000. An electric motor of a crowded train of eight cars failed to act just before the train reached the station of Les Couronnes, and this crippled train was pushed forward by another train of eight cars until It was midway her tween I.es Couronnes and the stationof Menllmontant. At that point the damaged dynamo set fire to the first train. The flames spread rapidly backward along tile lines of the sixteen cars, and the passengers struggled out in panic. river One lot Children's Muslin Drawers, all sizes, very special price for the week 9c A St. Petersburg dispatch says that the riots created a deep Impression.

The sympathy of the educated classes is with the workmen, as the move ment is directed not only for the amelioration of labor conditions, but also agulnst the despotic system of govern ment. The workmen are regarded as the pioneers in the movement for political freedom. PEOPLE S STORE WILKESBARRE, PA. 15 South Main St., Pittston. ALWAYS THE CHEAPEST. Into these two burning trains a third train dashed, and it also caught on lire, the flames consuming twenty out of the twenty-four cars. It is not expected that the secretary will present his resignation to the president before he leaves for England to take up the work of the Alaskan boundary commission. He has not presented Ills resignation yet and has not Informed the president when he will present it. It can be said that the president expects that the country will have the benefit of Secretary Root's services yet for several months, certainly until the beginning of the next year. Fortunately among the Venetians present was rDr. Davenezia, who for nine years had/Wen the pope's attending physician luVi'iiice, but had been called only once during that time, to treat a sore throat. He gave the pontiff Immediate assistance, while the messengers telephoned to IIr. Lapponi. The latter hastened to the Vatican, but did not arrive there until after the pope had been restored to consciousness and taken to his own apartment. Instantly the subway became a place of horror, made so by five causes—the darkness, for all the electric lights went out; the terrible, charged rail against which the struggling people fell, the rapidly burning cars, the furnacelike air of the tunnel, and the suffocating smoke. EVANS BROS. PRICES MACEDONIA'S REVOLUTION. A Baku dispatch says that the rattling rifle fire renders sleep impossible on nights when the water mains arc cut. No one dares to help extinguish the petroleum springs tires for fear of being shot. Meagre New# of An Alarming Nature Dribbling Through Lines. London, Aug. 12.—A dispatch from Sofia today states that communication between Monastlr and Salonika is interrupted and that, as a result, it is impossible to obtain authentic news of the revolution. Such news, however, as Is dribbling through is of the most alarming character. Constantinople advices report that Boris Saratoff, leader of the Macedonian revolutionists, is devastating the district in of Fiorina, a town of 11,001)jinhabitants, 17 miles southwest of Monastir. The 36 Macedonian committeemen who were arrested at Salonika some days ago were convicted of plotting against the government, but have not been sentenced. Add to these an angle In the subway in which the terrified throngs were literally squeezed to death, and it will be granted that it Is a miracle how any came out of the death tunnel alive. London firms have received advices from Kiev, Russia, which say that the strikers have completely paralyzed business and will not allow finished machinery to be delivered from manufactories. The men turned girls out of dressmaking and other workings under threats of death. Best Patent Flour, per bbl.. f■4.75 Gr. Sugar, l'J lbs for 1.00 1 pint Fruit Jars, per doz. .. .45 1 C it.

Aug. 12.—In the presence of one of the largest and perhaps the most distinguished congregations St. Patrick's cathedral ever held, Archbishop John M. Farley was today invested with the pallium, the official emblem of his high office. The service was solemn and was marked with all the pomp of-the ceremonials of tlie church. It gave the archbishop the full privileges of his rank which, since his appointment by Pope Leo, he has not held except by special dispensation.

Constantinople, Aug. 12.—Some anxiety is felt for the safety of Dr. Maudelstam, the acting Russian consul at Uskub, who was appointed to succeed the late M. Rostkowski, who was murdered. In spite of the first refusal of the mutessarlf (governor) to give him an escort Dr. Mandelstam Insisted upon proceeding to his new post, and after referring the matter to Hilml I'asha. the inspector general, he obtaiued one and started upon his own responsibility across the country for Monastir. Nothing has been heard of him since. The sultan has offered an indemnity of $40,- 000 to the widow of the late M. Rostkowski.
