Houston, Tex., (Special). A special Irwrn Goliad, Tex., says: At. 3 45 o'clock In the afternoon a tornado siruck the .historic town of Coliad and left death and desolation in its pathway beyond the power of pen to portray. ' There were from loo to ISO persons killed. A correspondent reached the scene at f o'clock on a special train from Vic toria, Tex., which brought doctors, riursei and medicines, friends and rela tives of Goliad people and the O'Connor Guards. . The view which met the eye on reach ing the scene of destruction, which was in the western part of the city, was ap palling. Between Church and Patrice streets, which run north and south, for a distance of a mile only one house was left standing. Very little damage was done except within these boundaries over a width of 50 yards. The tornado was preceded by a heavy hailstorm and a deep rumbling sound, hut no one had any premonition of the disaster and there was no oportunity for escape, and the cyclone had passed in a few moments. The section which has most suffered was the residence por tion, the lower part being the negro settlement, while the upper part con tained many fine residences. The Methodist and Baptist churches and the Baptist parsonage, both new, and the negro Methodist church were destroyed. The Episcopal church was badiy damaged, and fully 100 houses were totally destroyed. A stone residence was the only build ing in the pathway of the storm not ut terly demolished, but it is badly dam aged. The people of Goliad, realizing at once the great calamity and the terrible loss of life and many injured, telephoned to their sister cities of Cuero and Victoria for assistance, which was responded to immediately. BOY KINO ON THE THRONE. A Cruy Mao Causes Alarm Trying to koeb Him Procession I'nique. Madrid, (By Cable). Alfonso XIII.. "King of Gibraltar, of the East and West Indies, and of the Continent of Ocean ic," was made reigning sovereign of his monarchy in the Madrid Chamber of Deputies. One thousand people, includ ing all the members of the Cortes, the nobles and grandees of Spain, and the representatives of foreign government), were present at the ceremony. The act of transforming a boy who just reached his sixteenth birthday into the responsible ruler of 18,000,000 people tcok less than ten minutes. An oath to observe the Spanish constitution was administered to the young monarch, who swore on a crucifix and the four evangels, and the coronation was over. No crown was placed on the King's head, and all signs of authority were absent. This part of the ceremony was as simple as the in auguration of a president of the United States. After taking the oath His Maj esty proceeded to the Cathedral of San Francisco, where he received the bene diction of the Cardinal Archbishop of Toledo, the Spanish primate. The King then returned to the royal palace and received the congratulations of the for eign envoys. The splendid ceremonies were attended by an incident which, while insignificant in itself, for the moment created con siderable excitement among those who witnessed it. It appears that jut as the royal coach emerged from the Plaza de Armas into the square in front of the palace, amid the sound of cannon, a young man among the sightseers behind ti e cordon suddenly pushed through the ranks of soldiers and police and rushed toward the door of the chariot with his hat in one hand and holding outstretched in the other a paper. Before he reached the door the state lackeys and equirries hurried to the scene and quickly overpowered him. The prisoner was taken to the guard room of the palace, where he was inter rogated. The letter he had in his hand proved to be an address to the King stating that the Infanta Maria Teresa, who was with the King in the royal coach, had promised him her hand, and begging the King, as the brother of the Infanta, to accede to the marriage. The prisoner was carefuily searched and it was found that he carired no weapons. Hardwood Lumber Men. St. Louis, Mo., (Special).

Investigation hnut ih:t the sea has encroached from ten feet to two miles on the coast of the Island of St. Vincent and that a section on the north of the island has dropped into the sea. Mont Pelee was again active Thurs day night and yesterday, and the people in a number of districts are panic stricken. The third court of the King and Queen of England, held at Buckingham Palace, was a brilliant function, notwithstanding the agitation in London society over the conflicting orders of the King concern ing the wearing of trains. A London newspaper now claims that peace in South Africa has been assured, mainly through the British generosity in the matter of farm rebuilding. Andrew Carnegie declared in London that it was true he had offered the United States $20,000,000 for the inde pendence of the Filipinos. By the tactics of the oppositon, the ces sion of the Danish West Indies was again delayed in the Danish Parliament.

Scientists who have arrived on the Isl and of St. Vincent predict another erup tion. Great physical changes have taken place on the island. No person has yet been able to get within eight miles of the new crater of Soufriere. Dispatches from Kingston, Jamaica, confirm the reports that the British gov ernment will decide to abandon St. Vin cent Island and transfer the people now there to other islands. An Englishman caused a sensational scene among aristocratic spectators of a circus in Madrid by flaying the Duke of Arion with a loaded whip.

The report that the American Cotton Oil directors may declare an increased dividend has no foundation in fact, for the reason that the regular 3 per cent, annual dividend was declared May 6. The Toronto Bank a day or two ago sent $100,000 in cash to New York on which 10 per cent, was obtained. The banks there are getting only between 5 and 6 per cent, in the local market Efforts are being made by the organ ized machinists of Greater New York to organize all workers in machine shops, boring, milling, and monitor machine hands, drillers and chippers, into a local union of the American Federation of Labor. VOLCANO STONES FRACTIRE SKILLS Many Islanders Suffering From Such Injuries. RELIEVINO' THE MANY SUFFERERS, Tbe Area Covered by Lava on St Vincent Island Artrcfate Sixteen Squtre Miles An Abyss Five Hood red Feet Deep and Two Hundred Feet Wide Now Filled With Lava The Earthquakes Not OencraL Kingston, (By Cable) In the absence of symptoms of further eruptions of the volcano of Soufriere the inhabitants of St. Vincent arc gradually becoming set tled.. Most horrifying details of the condi tion of the Carib country, where thou sands of cattle and human corpses lay in a state of decomposition for several days during the agitation, are revealed. Although the number of deaths in the island de to the disaster is estimated, judging from the missing inhabitants, at 2,000, up to date only t.jfS bodies had been buried. The undiscovered bodies are probably covered with lava. In a small shop which was opened three days after the eruption 87 decayed corpses were discovered, and not one of them was recognizable. In the dwelling house of the manager of one of the es tates 30 corpses were found in a similar condition, and other sickening discov eries have been made. The district is being rapdly cleared. A number of pa tients have been brought to the city. Of these many are suffering from fractured skulls caused by the stones thrown from the volcano and a majority of them were burned by the lava thrown up with the vapor. Toward evening Saturday there was a slight convulsion, followed by a small discharge of smoke, but this caused no alarm. The weather is fine, and the ex citement is abating. The bed of lava in the Windward district is stil hot. The abyss, 500 feet deep and zoo feet wide, which existed between Langly and Rabacci, is filled with lava, and the physi cal features of the mountain on cither side are apparently more beautiful than before the eruption. A curious circumstance connected with the eruption is that the earthquakes were not general, notwithstanding the small ness of the island. While at Chateau Belair the convulsions preceding the eruption of May 7 were almost continu ous, every few hours, in Kingston and Georgetown only 60 shocks were felt in four hours. Although attended with smaller loss of life, the eruption of La Soufriere was not less violent than that of Mount Pe lee. in the Island of Martinique. The area covered by lava here comprises 16 square miles. The fact that the loss of life and damage to property in St. Vin cent were smaller than in Martinique, is due to the position of La Soufriere and the smaller population of the district. CROWN PRINCE MAY VISIT AMERICA. Likely lo Represent Imperial Family at In veiling nt Frederick Statue. Berlin, (By Cable). Emperor Wil liam's court marshal telegraphed here as follows : "The statue of Frederick the Great will be executed, by his Majesty's com mand, by Proiessor Uphcus, after a bronze statue standing in the park grounds at Potsdam." Professor Uphcus is one of the fore most sculptors of Germany. He carved the statue of Frederick the Great, in marble, in the Sieges Alle series. The expectation is that when the statue is un veiled at Washington a member of the Hohenzollem family will be present, pos" sibly the crown prince, Frederick Wil liam. The idea is even mentioned that Emperor William himself might be in attendance. Any authoritative support of this suggestion, however, has not been given to the reportorial inquiry at Pots dam.

From Jersey City to Philadelphia in 30 minutes; to klide on rails at the rate of 180 miles an hour. That is what Dr. A. C. Al bertson expects to do with his invention in electrical transportation, and he says that with it a speed of over 350 miles an hour might be attained. No dust, no smoke, no jolting, he says; merely gliding through the air on an elevated track with the rapidity of a projectile fired from a cannon. The heavier the load the less power required to draw the train, it is asserted, and the speed will be measured only by the size Of the driving wheel in the motor car, LIVE NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS. Locosts Arrive on Time. I-arge numbers of 17-ycar locusts have appeared in this city, and reports of sim ilar visitations have reached the Depart ment of Agriculture from Altoona, Pa., and Nashville, Tenn.

According to the charts Maryland and Indiana, with the adjoining counties of their neighboring States, are to be most affected by the pest. The department entomologists say that young nursery trees and young shoots of mature trees are all that will sustain injury from the visitation of the locusts, and that there is no cause for alarm over their appear ance.

The officers attempted to arrest five negroes suspected of having almost fa tally beaten former Policeman S. A. Kcr lin.

As soon as information of the fight between the negroes and the police reached the city, wagonloads of police men, heavily armed, were hurried to the scene of action, and Governor Candler ordered out a detachment of the State militia. The shooting was followed by a speech from Sheriff Nclms, of Fulton county, advising calmness on the part of the crowd, and the efforts of the officers thereafter were directed toward controll ing the temper of the white men who were walking the streets of the suburt' with drawn weapons.

The house was dark, but as the of ficers approached the inmates opened fire and Owen Heard fell. The house was surrounded by the posse who waited foi daylight before making another advance At CAM the officers approached the house and called upon the negroes to sur render. The answer was a volley of shots. County Officer Battle was in stantly killed. The attacking party re treated some distance and from behind trees and telegraph and trolley poles be gan firing into the store. In a few min utes the door of the house was thrown open and William King ran out and gave himself up to the officers. Inside the house Richardson had an unobstruct ed view in three directions. A block away Policeman Thomas Grant stepped from his shelter to fire into the house. A shot from the besieged house killed him before he could fire. The attacking party sent word to po-: lice headqaurters, and Chief of Police Ball dispatched the reserves to the scene in several patrol wagons. The officers to whom King had given himself up determined to make use of the negro. At the point of a rifle they forced him to walk up to the rear of the house and fire it. As soon as the flames started the officers, eager to get the inmates of the house, steppd out of their shelter in every direction. Again there was a shot from the house and this time Officer Edward Crabtrce met death. An instant later there was another shot and County Policeman Robert Osborne fell dead. The shooting had attracted hundreds of persons, and nearly every man who came to the scene carried n rifle. The shooting into the house became general, residents and officers firing together. In less than an hour the block of wood en houses -as burned to the ground, and a search of the ruins immediately fol lowed.

During the prog ress of a fire which destroyed the lard refinery of Armour & Co. in the Union Stock Yards 20 persons were injured, 4 of them probably fatally. The Ar mours' loss is estimated by Its officers at between $750,000 and $000,000. A number of accidents occurred, but by far the larger number of persons hurt met their injuries by the failing of a hog runway on which they were stand ing watching the blaze. i'he lard refinery had just been com pleted and was considered by its owners the most complete establishment of its kind in tbe United States. It stood at the intersection of Forty-third street and Center avenue and was five stories hish and 250 by 300 feet. It was filled with new and costly machinery and during the day 2,000 persons worked within its walls. The night shift numbered 700, and all of them were in the building when the fire started. The fire originated with an explosion of three lard tanks on the fifth floor of the building and spread through the en tire building. Within an hour after the commencement of the fire all the walls, with the exception of that on the south, were lying on the ground. Thousands of persons stood on the viaducts which pass through the yards nt height of 20 feet from the ground. That portion of the Forty-fourth, street viaduct close to the burning building was densely pricked, and suddenly about 200 feet of a hog runway, extending from the viaduct north to the plant of Armour & Co., gave way, dropping fully 1,000 persons to the ground. The fire men instantly abandoned their work on the building and devoted their energies to saving the injured. All were taken from the wreckage within a few minutes and placed in an improvised hospital in the plant of the German-American Pro vision Company, which was itself badly damaged by fire during the early part of the week.
