Details, however, are\nlacking,\nROME, Dec. 28.\u2014Later reports show\ntbat tbe present catastrophe embraces\na larger area than the earthquake of\n1905. The tidal wave which followed\nthe earth shocks on tbe eastern cast\nof Sicily sunk vessels and inundated\nthe lower portion of Catania, it is\nknown that a number of pelple were\nkilled in that place. The rushing\nwaters carried everything before them\nand caused an undescribable confusion.\nFor a period the town of Messiuaand\nthe whole province of Reggio wore\ncompletely isolated through inrterrup-\ntioii to the telegraph and telephone and\nlandslides that obstructed the railways.\nAbsolutely nothing wus heard from\nReggio throughout the day, while the\nfirst news from Messina came in the\nform of a despatch which a torpedo\nboat, flying at full speed along the\ncoast of the peninsula, carried from\npoint to point, always finding the\nwires down until ft reched Nicotera,\nFrom this point the despatch was s.nt.\nIt .briefly stated that the situation was\ndesperate ana aauea mat -uapt. ras-\nsino, commander of the local station'\nof torpedo boats, was burled under the\ndebris after having, with other officials,\nperformed heroic work in trying to\nsave others.

Members of the\nRed Gross were, despatched to various\nplaces and camps with provisions were\nimmediately prepared, all available\nrailway lines and warships being yed\nfor their transportation.\nThe city of Messina haa suffered\nprobably more than any other place.\nThe latest information coming In directly from that quarter stating that two-\nthirds of the town was destroyed and\ntbat several thousand persons have\nbeen buried In the debris. '\nThe steamer Catanina has arrived\nloaded with injured, who are so stupi-\ntfied with terror that they seem unable\nto realize what has happened; simply\nsaying that it looked as though the end\nof the world had come.\nFive, steamers left Catanina for Messina to assist ln removing the injured\nfrom that place who are reported to\nnumber thousands. At Catanina the\npanic stricken people, fearing new\nshocks, absolutely refused to re-enter\ntheir homes and are camping, on the\nsquares which are free from water.\nThe tidal wave sunk five hundred1\nboats and did great damage to several\nlarge vessels including the Austrian\nsteamer Buda. Not only did Catanina\nsuffer from the effects of a tidal wave\nbut. a considerable body of water inundated tho handsome streets of Messina,\nwhich flank the harbor, covering them\nwith a thick layer of mud which rendered difficult the succoring of the\nwounded, may of whom could be awn\nlying under the wreckage. It Is reported that the villages of Faro and\nGanzirry adjoining Messina bare disappeared.\nThe effects of the earthquake^ were\naggravated by fire from au explosion of\ngas, the flames from which awept^long\nseveral streets adding terror upon terror. Calabria, the region around 'Mon-\nteleleone. was most affected, The village of Stefanicon, the inhabitants of\nwhich number 2,300, was practically\ndestroyed. Only five persons were killed but many were injured.\nNAPLES, Dec. 28.\u2014King Victor Emmanuel, who Is shooting near Naples,\ntbis morning received the first reports\nof the earthquake in Calabria.

Jackleft, a jeweller of Third\navenue, whose store last night was\nlooted of $5,000 In cash and -120,000 in\njewelery. The (burglars entered by way\nof the cellar after wrenching twelve\nsteel bars from the cellar window.\nThen they sawed an opening in the\ncelling and through this entered the\nstore above. Here, after vainly attempting to bore through the steel <oor\nof the safe, which stood under a Iignled\ngas jet in plain view of the street, they\nmanaged to pry the combination i'ial\nfrom the safe, and through the rniall\nopening manipulated the holts and\nlevies so as to release the lock. The\npolice believe that the cracksmen nust\nhave been experts and that they had\naccomplices posted outside the store to\nsignal when the policemen on l to beat\nor late passeraby approached the store.\nAt such times, the robbers upon -being\nwarned, would hide behind the safe un-\nitil the coast was again clear. After\nrifling the safe the (burglars carefully\nreplaced the combination dial and departed, leaving little evidence of their\nwork. , _ j,\nMUSICIANS WANT PROTECTION\nDeputation to Roosevelt Say Aliens\nSpoil Their Business.\nWASHINGTON, Dec. 280.\u2014The president today had a long talk with 13.

The chances of the western team\nwere considerably weakened by an Injury to Phillips. Phillips, near the end\nof the first half, during which he had\nplayed brilliant hockey, was struck\nover the foot and for the rest of the\ngame played in great pain. As he was\nalso not ln the best of condition he\nweakened the Edmonton line. Pltrle,\non the defence was also not up to\nform.

Emphatic approval of the reform\nplans for India advanced by lord\nMorley, the secretary for India, was expressed. The session today was entirely harmonious and the meeting this\nyear promises to clear the air and to\nput a damper upon the activities of the\nagitators wlhich recently have caused\nmuch anxiety. At the last meeting of\nthe congress, just a year ago, opposition to the election of Dr. Ghose as\npresident resulted in a free fight and\nwas tho cause of the congress b?lng\nIndefinitely postponed. Referring to\nthe Morley reforms, Dr. Ghoso declared\nthat they had broken* up the hlnlster\nclouds which had hung over India for\nthe last twelve months, and he said\nthey would give India something like\na constitutional government instaad of\ntbe unpopular autocratic regime. Continuing, Mr. Ghose criticized all repressive legislation. He said British suzerainty could not be shaken by \"a. few\nilasks of plorlc acid or a few (pounds of\npowder\" and he hoped that the genuine co-operation of the Indians with the\nBritish government would lead io the\nobtaining of colonial self government.\nIN OTHER CITIES\nThere Are Nine Mayoralty Candidates\nin Cornwall, Six in Guelph.\nGUELPH, Dec. 28\u2014Nominations for\nmayor are: John Newwstead, in present occupation of the mayoralty chair,\nalderman Thorpe, Penfold, Simpson\nand Neson and George Hastings.\nHAMILTON, Dec. 28\u2014Aldermen W.\nG.

The\nnatural drainage of this land Is toward\nthe river, and unless sewerage Is soon\nprovided, It will become a menace to\nthe city.   Falrview to the east Ib also\nbuilding up rapidly and shoud be incorporated with the city.   Tbe acquisition\nof these districts would add greatly to\nour revenue in the way of taxes.   That\nthe cost of supplying the added territory with sewerage and water   service\nwould more than offset the amount of\ntaxes received, Is an objection raised by\na few of the more conservative taxpayers, but this objection can be met by\n1 the proposal that these Improvements\nhe madu under the local Improvement\nsystem.   If the localities mentioned,aro\nwilling to be incorporated wltb tbe city\non an equitable basis, I would, If elected\nmayor, favor and    promote    such\nscheme.\nRegarding the operation of the electric tramway system-, and the extension of the same Into the residential\ndistrict, I cannot say I would favor the\nundertaking as a municipal enterprise.\nBut there Is no -reason why the city\nwith an abundance of electrical power\nat its disposal, should not encourage\nthe undertaking by the offer of free\npower for a definite period to any Individual or company willing to opera'te\ntbe system. In this matter I believe the\nco-operation of tbe local board of trade\nshould be secured for tbe purpose of\npromoting a scheme to secure the necessary calptal to operate the system, and,\nif elected, this matter will receive my\nearnest and active attention.\nThe importance of securing more Industries within our city Is one deserving\nthe earnest consideration of the mayor\nand council. Our natural advantages,\ncombined with cheap power to be furnished by the city, should, If properly\nand energetically, advertlfed, be the\nmeans of establishing many flourishing\nIndustries In Nelson, tn this matter,\nalso, the co-operation of the information\nbureau of the board of trade should be\nsecured, and if.elected, would receive\nmy hearty and active support.\nIf elected aB mayor lt will be my ambition to maintain the moral tone of tha\ncity by a proper enforcement of the\nlaws, and, In so tar aB I am able, to\nencourage and promote the Interests of\nour educational and charitable Institutions.\nI am not the candidate of any clique,\ncorporation, calling or sect, and enter\nthe contest with no pledge beyond the\npublic pledge that I will endVavor to\ngive fair play and justice to til, and\nthat the laws shall be honesjly *-\u25a0\nforced. *\nSoliciting a generous   support   from\nthe electors, I have tbe honor to be,\nYour obedient servant,        .\nD.

McMOHRIS  lUnafvr\nthere is a reeonable prospect that the\nmen who have prostituted office for the\nsake of gold will be duly punished and\ndriven out of the community they rob-\nbed with suoh apparent ease and audacity. |, \u2022,.t_.\nDraw* INI\nBROKERS\nNEL-tON, & O.\nIll\nCIVIC GRAFTERS\nThe revelation of extensive municipal\ngrafting in Pittsburg will not cause\nvery much surprise anywhere in America, In fact nothing emanating from\nPittsburg would surprise any ono, veil\nversed in conditions generally in that\ncity. Not, of course, that there are not\nvery many decent and public spirited\nresidents of Pittsburg, hut because a\ncertain class of \"Pittsburg millionaires\" lhave been setting the pace for\nthe whole community, until \"the man\nfrom Pittsburg\" is looked upon as\nsomething quite out of the ordinary in\nNew York when he goes there to have\na really good time.\nTiie Pittsburg 'grafters, for the most\npart, appear to have neen a very\nshoddy lot, willing to sell civic privileges for a five dollar bill, a suit of\nclothes, or even a bundle of car tickets,\nTho San Francisco boodlers1 prices for\nbetraying their trust, was, in the average, much higher than those asked by\nthe councilmen in the eastern city, but\naccording to the prosecution's chief witness, the Pittsburg civic robbers did\nfairly well all round at times, as Mr.\nKlein stated that for the passage of\none ordinance alone council men Divided the snug -sum of -$45,000, but It is\nprobable that in this and similar instances tlie lion share of the boodle\nwent to a few leaders who englnoeied\nall the deals.\nIt is clear, however, that as In New\nYork and San Francisco, there was a\nregular6 system in force at Pittsburg.\nAccording to one story told in the despatches all that a capitalist or a corporation, desiring favors from the city\nof Pittsburg had to do, apparently, was\nto go to the chief grafter aud ask him\nthe price of an ordinance, or a contract,\nor whatever might be wanted; the chief\ngrafter appraised his men as a hog merchant would his animals\u2014thirty _ay at\n$10 each, thirty at $80 each, and thirty\nat 1100 each, or $5,700 in all. Then to\nthis he would add his own and fellow\nleaders' commission, of say $39,300. If\nthis were satisfactory the money would\nbe placed on a table in a vacant room,\nand the action of the council nt Its\nnext meeting would give assurance\nthat it had reached the proper ha:-ds.\nThis was a simple method of satisfying\nall parties and the public, being in ignorance of the deal, would have no particular reason to complain.\nThe bright spot in the whole story\nis the fact that there were enough honest, level headed, public spirited citizens in Pittsburg -to rebel against this\ncivic wickedness and to take sa-ie effective means to stamp it out. At San\nFrancisco the same class of men are\nrelentlessly attacking the bribers and\ngrafters who fatten on spoil Helen\ntrom the people and la both instances\nEDITORIAL NOTES\nThe appointment by the city council\nlast evening ot Donald Guthrie to\nsucceed Mr. Deasy as chief of the local\nfire brigade, will be received by the\ncitizens of Nelson, with many of whom\nthe new official is no stranger, with\nmarked approval. Mr. Guthrie came\nto Rossland from Montreal, highly re-\ncoinmeneded, some years ago, and during his stay in the Golden city {-.bowed beyond question that he possessed\nall the qualities of a first-class flre\nfighter.' Since his arrival in the west,\nMr. Guthrie has become used to western conditions and to the management\nand contral of lire brigades made up\non the lines of the one in this city und\ntherefore assumes the duties of his important position with a full knowledge\nof what is required ot him and the men\nunder him; There is every good reason for believing that the new chief\nwfill keep the brigade in thoroughly\nefficient shape and that when occasion\ncalls the Bame 'good protective service\nwill be rendered in the future as It has\nbeen the good fortune of the citizens\nhere to experience on past occasions\nwhen the fire fiend threatened. Neleon\nIs to be congratulated upon obtaining\nthe services of Mr. Guthrie as thief\nof the fire brigade.\nThe Daily News Is in receipt of a\nspecimen copy of The Canadian Almanac for 1909. published by the Copp,\nClark Co., limited, Toronto, and edited\nby Arnold- W. Thomas. This issue of\nThe Canadian Almanac, which lorms\nthe sixty-second of the series, !s unusually valuable, and Is indispensable\nfor every office and library in the Dominion. Many of tbe lists given are\nnot found elsewhere, and - In no other\nvolume can so much information about\nCanada be found in so email a space.\nThe Canadian Almanac has been published continuously since 1848, and is\nIndispensable to every Canadian engaged in professional or business life.\nIt contains among other things complete customs tariff, new French treaty,\nbanks with branches, British army and\nnavy, full Canadian militia list, complete list of post offices and much postal Information, newspapers published\nin Canada with their circulation and\n\u25a0politics. Dominion and provincial governments with names of all members\nand officials. Clergy list of all denominations. Legal and judicial information. County and township officers\nand an historical diary for 1907-8. The\nbook. Is a little larger than- any previous issue, containing 496 pages, and\ntho present volume fully sustains the\nvery excellent reputation obtained for\nthe publication in past years for exact,\ncondensed information concerning all\nthings Canadian.\nHon. R. G. Tatlow, provincial minister of finance, has -returned to Victoria\nafter & visit to fflogland of over two\nmonth's duration. The minister, as\nhas ibeen announced in the news columns from time to 'time, took every\nopportunity during his Visit to ;*ress\nupon the British public th-e manifest\nresources of this province and the desirable field lt offers to investors and\nsettlers, Mr. Tatlow brings the welcome news that British Columbia is\nnow well advertised in the old country,\nand that individuals and companies\npropose making many Investments here\nduring the coming year, and adds that\nthe demand for B. C. fruit lands in\nlikely'to foe unusually heavy in 1909.\nMr. Tatlow ie particularly conservative\n\u25a0in his estimate on any given subject\nso that his statement concerning urob-\naJble British Investments in B. C. du-\nringt the next twelve months can _e\ntaken unreservably as being well within the mark. British Columbia needs\ncapital to develop its great mineral resources, to extend and build up its\nfruit growing industry and to assist In\nclearing and settling its agricultural\nlands. The advent of more British\ncapital during 1909 will mean rapid and\nsatisfactory growth for the wfrole province.\nIt seems a pity that the school board\ncould not unite with the city council and\nagree upon the amount required to\ncomplete and furnish the new school\nibuilding. The whole matter was gone\ninto very thoroughly at the council\nmeeting \u201eeld a fortnight ago last night\nand the council appeared to have made\nout a good case for the modest reduction asked; As it is now the bylaw\nfor the reduced amount will go to the\nratepayers on January 14th, the day of\nthe municipal elections, and will probably pass. If the school trustees intend pla-cing another bylaw- before the\npeople later on for the original amount\nasked for, $17,500, they will certainly be\nrequired to make their claim for the\nchange, and for the delay and Increased\nexpenditure occasioned by a second by-\nlay, exceedingly plain. If the citizens\napprove the bylaw on January 14th\npossibly the trustees will accept the\nsituation.\nIn discussing the trade and business\noutlook at the close of the year and\nafter referring to the marked Improvement everywhere shown in Canada during tbe last few months, the Winnipeg Commercial says; \"It was so late\nin the year, however, before the improvement came that no great things\ncould be done until next spring, and\nanNATtD'S UNIMENT CO..

Aui unusually favorable fall gave the railways\na chance to carry out most of the export wheat before the close of navigation, and that ihas been another factor\nin improving business. The farmers\nreceived very good prices for their produce, and the returns went quickly into circulation. There is every reason\nto feel cheerful over the outlook. The\ncountry is prosperous, and all that we\nhave to wait for now before greater\nbriskness sets in Is the passing of a\ncouple of more months of winter.'* The\nview taken hy the Commercial is the\none which finds ready acceptance at\nthis time from one end of the Dominion to the other.\nPrincipal Patrick, of Manitoba College, has completed the gigantic task\nof harmonizing Calvinism and Arraen-\nianism. thus undoing the work which\nJohn Calvin accomplished, says the\nMail-Empire.

The Cassels enquiry\ncontinues to justify its appointment,\nand to create a feeling that the first\nthing which the new parliament should\ndo is to empower it to proceed with\na similar examination of the other departments of the government.\nCredence will hardly be found for\nthe contention that this mission of\n\"patronage\" was confined to one department. We know that other departments had \"patronage lists;\" for\none of them has announced their destruction and another has declared an\nintention to call them \"business lists\"\nafter this. In many cases, the same\nfirms sold goods to other departments\nwho dealt with the marine department, and they sold them to officials\nappointed by \\he same system and under the control of the same politicians.\nTo ask us to sit down with the belief\nthat these same firms doing business\nwith the same sort of civil servants,\nunder- the same greedy party influences and working with the same\nbrand of \"patronage lists,\" gave no\ndiscounts In these other departments,\ncharged no fancy prices, distributed no\npresents, made no loans, Is to ask too\nmuch of human nature.

We\ndid not want all this mess uncovered\njust for the sake of satisfying our\ncuriosity. We want this whole business stopped. We'want free competition in the furnishing of supplies to\ngovernment departments, either by\nadvertising for tenders or some other\nadequate means. We want to see the\n;iast of both \"patronage lists\" and the\npatronage system. And we want a\npublic opinion which will make a hero\nof the civil servant who refuses a\nbribe and exposes the scoundrel who\noffers it; and a public spirit which will\nimpel every merchant who is \"touched for a \"present\" to pillory the\ntraitor who applies to him and drive\nhim from the public service.\n(Toronto News.)\nCorruption in the department of marine\nand flBner;es Is not a new thing, tor years\npast that branch of the public service has\n-been notorious as a veritable! muskeg of\npatronage. Not a man In parliament was\nIgnorant of its -character. Conservatives\nattacked it in the public accounts committee. But liberals defended It, denying the\ntales of Imp.oprletleg and praising the administration of the mlnster-n charge. Liberal newspapers denounced the \"unsupported scandal\" of the opposition and defended the department with furious energy.\nYet all the time they knew that it was corrupt, thus) sacrificing the interests of the\ncountry to the advantage of a political organization.\nThen cama the tvoort of the. civil service commission, and the state of public\nopinion forced an Investigation. For election purposes the government used the cowardly defence that the irregularities had\nibeen duo to tory officials. After ithe election, when nil \"danger\" was past, the liberal newspapers began to \"feature\" the\ntestimony before judge Cassels. and to\nexclaim over and deprecate it In four\ncolunm headings. At the same time editorial appreciation of the government's\neffortB for reform wns not lacking,\nTlie public was tacitly asked to bellevt\nthat these revelations of corrupt dealings and thievery had come with a shock\nof pained uuiprlsa to the government and\nlo tlio Journals supporting it. This wns\nsheet' hypocrisy. When the Laurier government was formed in 189-5 the patronage\nsystem was continued because It was\ndeemed best to \"keep the boys feeling\ngood.\" It was said cynically that Alexander Mackenzie was honest and that his\nrule was brief. The government clung to\nthe patronage system, knowing that the\u00bb\u00bb-\nby the country would lose at every turn.\nThe marine department wub corrupt\nyears ago. The liberal newspapers knew\nit, yet defended It vigorously against the\nattaoks made upon it. The liberal newspapers knew that the Ross government in\nthis province was a sink of editorial .iniquity. Yet they defended it day after\nday and when the election came on urged\ntlio people to support it in splto of \"Minnie\nM.\" and the three Norths and burned balL-\nlots and all the hundred and one scandals.\nThe motto of liberal journals seems to be\n\"Surely my captain can depend on ine.\"\nFOR SALE\nA very comfortable cottage on\nStanley Btreet, newly renovated\nthroughout and two lots, close to\nschools, with all modern conveniences, containing five rooms and\nbath room.
