Cyclones In Four States Sudden Death of Due de Chaulnes 18 Con spirators Executed Extra Session of Legislature Centenary of Cath olicism Cruiser Lost. Half the little French hamlet of Notre Dame de Salette, sixteen miles from Buckingham, Ont., on the Lievre river, lies burled under a sliding moun tain and at least thirty of Its small population are known to have perlBh- ed. The hamlet has no telephone or telegraph and neither Is It on a rail; road. The river Lievre winds at the foot of the hamlet and a mountain towers behind it. Spring rains for days past have been melting the snow and Ice on the hillside and streams have been coursing down to the river. At 5 o'clock Sunday morning, Just as the IIIHa hnmlet hucnn to stir for early mass, part of theirountain started to slide towards theriver. It tore a path of death and destruction on Us way, and those who were not killed when their homes were engulfed were left burled under the mass of rock and earth. Do Salette was built on the two banks of the river Lelvre. One house on the west bank containing the only telephone In the hamlet was the first obstacle In the path of the sliding mountain and In Us wreck communi cation with the outside world was cut off. The slide carried two houses on the west bank Into the swollen river and across to the east bank and then covered eighteen houses there. The river was dammed and those who were not killed in the avalanche were drowned. Salette was built on a blue clay which rested on a strata of limestone. Five years ago there was a similar disaster at Poupore and each spring the Inhabitants along the river live In fear of landslides. Poupore then slipped gently into the Lelvre without loss of life. Many Deaths From Wind Storms. A wind of cyclonic proportions swept over portions of Louisiana, Mississip pi, Eastern Texas and Alabama Fri day, leaving a trail of dead and In jured. The number of killed is esti mated at over three hundred and the number of Injured at over a hundred, with many portions of the afflicted districts to hear from. Most of the dend are negvoes. Per haps a dozeii white persons were caught In falling building and either fatally Injured or setiously disabled. The loss of life was chiefly In the quarters of colored persons where the wind destroyed their cabins, burying the occupants In the debris, or In the farming sections of the country where trees were uprooted and telegraph and telephone poles torn up. It Is difficult to estimate the loss of life or the ex tent of the destruction of property, for there is little or no communication with tho points where the wind and rain did Us greatest damage. In Louisiana it is estimated that a score of small towns were destroyed or partly wrecked. In Alabama Dora "was the chief suf ferer. This town Is also known as Bergen. Four or more persons were killed, among them the wife and daughter of Section Master Moore. Fifty persons at the lowest estimate were injured. Those most seriously hurt were carried to hospitalB In Birm ingham, Ala., One woman, a Mrs. Mc Cully, died on the train. Two other members of this family were seriously Injured. Cars were blown from the railroad tracks and considerable oth er property destroyed. From Moritan, Miss., comes a report that MrsvJlin Minniece and her child were killed outright and John Min niece was seriously injured, while a number of other persons were hurt and there wns considerable destruc tion of property. Sudden Death of Due de Chaulnes. In the presence of his bride of less than three months, Emmanuel Theo dore Bernard Marie d'Albert de Luines d'Ailly, ninth Duke of Chaulnes and of Picquignrfynd Marquis of Dangenu, died Budaflly from heart failure Thursdaytight in his apartments in the Hotel, Langham in the Rue Boc cador. The physicians summoned to attend the duke In his sudden seizure oflicially gave the cause of death as embolism of the heart. The Duke de Chaulnes and the duchess, who was Miss Theodora S'aonts, youngest daughter of Theo dore P. Shonts of New York, were married in New York Feb. 16 of this year. The wedding was a brilliant social function and the end of the brief honeymoon was sudden and tragic. The duke for years had suffered from a weak heart and for some time had been the subject of fainting spells. Several times since he came to Paris he consulted Dr. Henri Iscovescoin an effort to obtain relief from his ail ment. Thursday evening ttie duke and the duchess, both In the best of spirits, returned from a drive In the Bols de Boulogne. They dined in their pri vate apartments and an hour after dinner the duke complained of feel ing ill and retired. About 11 o'clock he was suddenly stricken, gaHped for r-reath and Immediately lost con sciousness. The duchess was seized with panic and screamed for aid. A uMld who responded to her cry waa hurriedly dispatched for Dr. Iscoves co while the hotel management sum moned another physician. The two doctors arrived simultaneously at the bed Hide of the sufferer and adminis tered the most powerful of heart stim ulants, but their efforts were vain. 18 Conspirators Executed. President Cabrera himself is author ity for the statement that eighteen of the ringleaders in a conspiracy against him already have been shot to death and that probably more executions will follow. President Cabrera, against whose life an attempt was made by students last week Monday, Thursday received the representatives of the various pow ers and made a lengthy statement to them that he bad unearthed an ex tensive conspiracy against him, that led up to his attempted assassination. He declared that eighteen of the leaders had been executed by bis or ders and that the death penalty would be meted out to others already In the hands of the military. Among these are the men who were Imprisoned a year ago, having been implicated In a plot to assassinate the president. They were sentenced to death soon after their arrest, but the sentence had not been carried out. President Cabrera said that he had proof that a majority of these prison ers were Implicated In the new at tempt against his life and that they would be executed without delay. Bucketshops Put Out of Business. The passage by both houses at Al bany, with but few votes in the negative, of the bill of Senator Cas- sidy, which if signed by Governor Hughes, and enforced, will put out of business every bucketshop In the state, was the surprise and sensation of the closing of the legislature. Bills to this effect have been before the legislature every year for many -n... i. t .,vp ne 'er before received serious attention. It Is very general ly expected that Governor Hughes ..... v.c ...c ui... n.a ttuiiu&i mi obstructed passage has caused almost as much surprise as would have been occasioned by the eleventh-hour pas sage of the anti-racetrack gambling bills themselves. Extraordinary Session of Legislature.

Mr. Norria Furnished Long List of Newspaper to Which Price of Pa per Had Been Raised Understand ing That One Mill' Customer Is Not to Get Paper From Another. Washington, April 28. Evidence tending to show that there has been vnity of action among paper mills In the matter of fixing the price of paper, as well as an understanding that none of. them shall sell to the customer of another; that contracts for paper could not be obtained for a period longer than one year, and that the mills had arbitrarily shut down or re stricted their output, was presented by John Norris of the American News paper Publishers' association before the select house committee which Is investigating the price of print paper as affected by the tariff, and the ques tion of whether or not there Is a combination In restraint of trade. The evidence which Mr. Norris of fered was in the shape of replies by members of the Publishers' associa tion to a number of queries propound ed to them by the association. This evidence Included a statement of a variation In the price of paper of from $2 to $17 a ton, and Induced Mr. Mann to make the assertion that It disclosed Just the reverse of the contention that there is a combination to main tain uniform priceB. Mr. Norris, however, declared that it was the avowed purpose of the paper makers to regulate the price at the time of the hearing before the Ding- ley committee in 1896 and he contend ed that their present course was In harmony with that avowal. Quotations Withdrawn or Changed. Mr. Norris laid before the committee a large number of replies of newspa pers to the query: "Have any agents or mills withdrawn quotations pre viously made to you or have they ne glected or refused to quote prices to you, or have they changed previous offers?" These replies all tended to show that some paper companies had de clined to moke offers, others had with drawn or changed their quotations and others had announced their product entirely sold. The Chicago Daily Journal replied that no broker or representative of any paper mill had called on that pa per since June 1, 1906, to quote prices or ask for their business. "It has seemed to us," the journal wrote, "that there Is an understanding that we are the Sheboygan's customer and will have to stick to that mill." Efforts to obtain prices elsewhere, the journal wrote, were without avail. "Do you understand," asked Mr. Sims, "from that statement that they left the Impression that the other com panies, except the Sheboygan, were refusing to quote because they knew the Sheboygan had made quotations?" "We distinctly alleged," Mr. Norris replied, "that these people had under standings, and we will give state ments where they have been told that they were the customers of one mill and that no other mill would bid." That there was unity of action by selling agents or uniformity In the price of paper, was attested by several hundred newspapers. In several In stances the publishers declared they had no Information on the subject. Countracts Limited to a Year. Still another set of replies was sub mitted by Mr. Norris, by which he un dertook to prove that practically every member of the association had been refused contracts for more than one year, and that in some instances pub lishers had been forced to live "from hand to mouth" In the matter of their paper supply. In answer to Mr. Mann, Mr. Norris said that these replies all were re ceived the latter part of September or early in October, 1907. Evidence also was adduced to show that in many instances changes had been made In selling agencies and that contracts now were being made direct with the mills. Mr. Norris furnished a long list of newspapers to which the price of pa per had been raised, and closed his tes timony by submitting evidence from a great number of newspapers that paper mills had shut down or restrict ed their output, giving various rea Hons therefor, such, for Instance, as that there was no water or that there was a lack of wood supply, and In some cases no -explanation at all for a shutdown of several months. 4-Per-Cent-Clty Bonds at a Premium. Philadelphia, April 28. Mayor Rey burn opened bids for $3,875,000 new 4-per-cent city bonds and found that the loan had been over-scribed about sev en times.

Hearing on Application of Buffalo, Rochester and Eastern. Albany, April 28. The opposition of certain txlstlng railroad companies, particularly .trie New ,Tork Central and Hudson; Jtlver railroad company and the Delaware and Hudson compa ny, to the application of the Buffalo, Rochester and Eastern Railroad com pany for (authority to construct a through double-track steam road from Buffalo to Troy opened Us case before the public service commission In the Second district. Thomas Watkins of counsel for the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad company contended that there Is not sufficient business for a new road and the one proposed would, he believed, be bankrupt before It was started. Replying to the claim of the pro moters of the new company and oth ers that there are at present great delays in the movement of freight, Mr. Watkins gave as the reason lack of motive power and equipment and Insufficient terminal facilities. He at tributed delayB In forwarding New York Central freight to the failure of the Boston and Albany and the Bos ton and Maine to handle promptly freight offered them by the Central, resulting In congesting terminals with cars which should be moving over the roads. He declared that but for such de lays the Central would be able to handle twice as much tonnage as it ever has. He said that millions of dollars are being spent at present to enlarge terminal facilities. He believ ed that existing roads could handle freight far in excess of the amount that Is now tendered them at Buffalo. Chief Engineer Klttridge and Mr. Gamble, freight Inspector, both for the New York Central, then testified. Klttridge's testimony was to show that the new road proposed to use Im practicable grades from Schenectady to TJtica. Gamble testified as to the congestion of terminals. ONLY TWO BATTLESHIPS. President's Program Deefated In Sen ate as It Was In House. Washington, April 28. By on over whelming vote President Roosevelt's four battleship program failed In the senate just as it did in the house. The amendment for four battleships was Introduced by Senator Tiles, and the fight for Its adoption was led by Senator Beverldge. Twenty-three votes were cast for the Increased program, the number largely being made up of recently elected senators. Fifty senators voted to support the house and the recommendation of the senate naval committee In favor of the building of only two battleships. The debate on the amendment last ed three days to the exclusion of all other matters. U was begun by Sena tor Beverldge with an eloquent appeal for the support of the president. At times the discussion came near being acrimonious, especially fiharp ex changes occurring between Senators Aldrich and Beverldge. It was developed by Senator Allison during the debate that there Is a well defined understanding among the sen ate leaders for the authorization of two battleships' each year, until the American navy Is regarded as suffi cient to meet any demands that may be made upon It. As finally passed, the bill carries appropriations aggregating $12:1,115, 659, and provides for the construction of two battleships and two colliers and the purchase of three additional colliers, the construction of subma rines and other necessary craft, and increases the pay of oflicers and enlist ed men, as well ns increasing both the pay and the strength of the marine corps.

BURNS PUTS UP $5,000 For Fight With Jack Johnson, Negr Heavyweight Pugilist. London, April 2S. Jack Johnson, the oolored heavyweight pugilist, accom panied by his manager, Fltzpatrlck, arrived here from New York last even ing. They immediately visited the Na tional Sporting club and the sporting newspapers and issued a challenge to Tommy Burns. the heavyweight champion, to fight anywhere for any purse acceptable to Burns. Johnson went further than this and offers to bet Burns $2,500 that he will stop him in twenty rounds. In addition, he will concede to Bums two-thirds of any purse that Is put up for the contest. These tonus cannot be published In England, as the law of the country prohibits anything but boxing contest!) limited to twenty rounds. Burns ha been holding out In the negotiations ,for the Johnson contest for a sum, w in, lose or draw, larger than any syn dicate has yet appeared willing to of fer. Johnson appears anxious to meet Burns, but there has been so much cross-firing that It seems doubt ful If the two men come together In England. There Is a possibility, how ever, that a club that has Just been organized in Purls may raise sufficient money to Wduce Burns to go Into the ring with the c'ored heavyweight. Burns alio visited the National Sporting club last evening but did not meet Johnson. Burns forestalled the hitter by depositing $5,000 with a sporting newspaper for a meeting with the negro. Burps insists that he must have $30.nti0 as his share of the purse, but Johnson can arrange the side bet n suit himself. In the opinion of Burn a light between him and Johnson Is now bound to occur, but whether In England or In America depends on the purse.
