Warmly Welcomed on Hi
Arrival at Naples.
KING SENDS CORDIAL GREETING
Duke of Aosta Meets Visitor on
Behalf of Victor Emmanuel,
and Kaiser Also Sends
Best Wishes.
Naples, April 15. The steamship
Hamburg, from New York, with ex
president Theodore ltoosevelt and his
African hunting party on board, ar
rived here today after n voyage which
was on the whole pleasant, although
the ship was delayed by storms the
last two clays.
The UuUe of Aosta on behalf of King
Victor Emmanuel warmly welcomed
Colonel UoosevcU to Italy and deliv
ered a message from the king to the
effect that the latter would like to
make his acquaintance and would lwvu
taken steps to do so had not Mr.
ltoosevelt expressed it desire to travel
as a private citizen.
Ambassador Grlscom was one of the
llrst to board the Hamburg, having
come from Home especially to meet
Mr. ltoosevelt. The latter was delight
ed to see the American ambassador,
and they engaged- in a long and pleas
ant conversation.
ruder Instructions from Emperor
William the German consul general
here boarded the Hamburg and con
veyed to Mr. ltoosevelt a message of
welcome and best wishes from his
majesty.
In addition to sending greetings the
consul general filled Mr. Roosevelt's
cabin on the steamship Admiral with
carnations, red white and black, the
German colors, as a token of the em
peror's homage. The ltoosevelt quar
ters on the Admiral were made a per
fect bower, as everybody of note sent
flowers as the only way In which they
could fittingly welcome the American.
The prefect of Naples has ordered a
special detachment of picked carabi
neers on duty at the dock to protect
Mr. ltoosevelt not only from possible
assault, but also from the throngs of
people eager to see him. Both the
Hamburg and the steamer Admiral,
which will take him to Mombasa, were
surrounded by police boats.
The municipality of Naples greeted
the former president of the United
States with an address of admiration.
The mayor appointed three aldermen
to receive Mr. ltoosevelt and to extend
to him the welcome of the city. Vari
ous other committees of welcome ex
pressed their admiration for Mr. ltoose
velt. It was supposed that he would re
main about two days, and many nr.
rangeinents were made to entertain
him. Neapolitans are greatly dlsap
pointed because he will have only a
few hours here.
A magnificent apartment in a hotel
had been prepared for Ins use aftord
lug a beautiful view of the bay of Na
pies. Mount Vesuvius and Capri. Motoi
boats and automobiles were put at his
disposal for excursions by sea and by
land.
FRANCE MODIFIES TARIFF.
Commission Makes Amendments Nota
bly In Favor of United States.
Paris, April .".The tariff commis.
stun as the result of violent protests
from home and foreign Interests, espe
cially England, has agreed to amend
ments covering the metal and textile I
schedules. Notable concessions have
been made in favor of the United
States.
The maximum duty on heavy agri
cultural machinery, practically all cl
which comes from the United States,
which originally was increased from
15 to 1(1 francs per hundred kilos, has
now been reduced to 12 and the mini
mum from !) to 8.
Tho maximum duty on typewriters
has been reduced from 75 to 45 francs
and I he minimum from 50 to 30 francs.
The proposed Increases on sowing ma
chinos have boon abandoned, and the
present rates will be restored.
The big Increase in the duty on cot
tonseed oil, against which the United
States especially protested, has not
been changed, It Is explained, because
It was necessary to compensate for
oleaginous seeds being placed on the
dutiable list
The framers of the French bill are
watching tho progress on the tariff
bill In the United States with keen In
terest. SIGNS OF DISASTER AT SEA.

Easter Lesson. I Cor. xv: 12-28.
Now Is Christ risen from .the dead,
and become the first fruits of them
that slept. I Cor. xv:20.
Verses 12-13. Does the doctrine, of
the resurrection of the body rest up
on revelation or upon reason?
Providing the soul Is Immortal Is It,
or not, ol material importance
whether the body Is raised or not?
If there Is no resurrection of tho
dead, It follows as Paul here states,
that Christ is not risen; but Is the
converse true, that If Christ Is risen
then all human beings will necessar
ily bo resurrected?
It seems that some In Corinth de
nied the resurrection of tho dead In
the sense that- there Is no life aftor
death, now If that were true, then
how much would there be left in Chris
tianity?
What Is the process of reasoning
that demonstrates the fact of Immor
tality?
What Is the scripture proof of life
after death?
Can you mention a single nation or
tribe of the past, or at the present,
which has not believed, in Immortality
in some shape?
Verses 14-17 If there Is no resur
rection of the dead, how would that
make their preaching vain, make our
faith vain, and -make them false wit
nesses? Verses 1S-19 How Is It that all
men instinctively believe In tho im
mortality of their departed friends, and
expect to meet them again?
It was doubtless true In Paul's day
that If there was no immortality
Christians were of all men most mis
erable, because, they were then de
spised, imprisoned and put to death;
hut is the same true today? Is not
Christ's religion now a grand thing for
this world, even If death did end all?
Verse 20 What Is the chief evi
dence of tho truth of Christianity?
What is tho proof that Jesus did
rise from tho dead? (See Matt, xxvl:
1C-1&; Mark xvi:14; Luke xxlv:36-3S;
John xx: 4,5,14,26 ;xxl: 4; Acts 1:3,13,30,
31; I Cor. xv:3-8, et seq.)
Is the fact of the resurrection of
Jesus to be proved by evidence, like
any other fact, and is there any other
historic fact better attested?
Why was it, when Jesus was cruci
fied that His dlsclplec were a dispir
ited band, having lost heart, and go
ing back to their .former occupation,
and what was it afterwards that put
new life In them; and made them the
most courageous men that ever lived?
(This question must be answered in
writing by members of the Club.)
What became the prominent theme
of their nreachinE?
Is it credible that sucf noble men,
who afterward laid down their lives
for the truth, would testify that they
had seen and talked to Jesus after
his death, if they had not so seen him?
Verse 21-22 Would there have
been natural death If there had been
no sin?
Would there have been any resurrec
tiou of the dead, If Jesus had not been
resurrected?
Verses 23-28 Was Christ the first
man to rise from tho dead?
When will the general resurrection
be?
Will Christ finally abolish death
and destroy sin?
lias God put all the forces of nature
under the control of Jesus?

The Conversion of Saul. Actslx:l-30.
Longevity Among Soldiers.
At the beginning of the year there
were surviving two major generals of
the volunteer service in the civil war
and twenty-five brigadier generals.
The original roster In the volunteer
service was 131 major ..enerals and
5411 brigadier generals. '. he youngest
of the survivors was Y lne's gallant
soldier, Brigadier General Seldeu Con
nor, who was registered as seventy
years of age; the oldest, Brigadier
General Joseph A. Cooler of Kansas,
who had passed clght.v-lx. The nver
age age was seventy-nine. This show.
lng, although a small one, tends to
prove that the mortality among war
veterans after their return to peace Is
not excessive
The average ago of the commissioned
olllecrs of the Federal army at the
close of tiie war, forty-four years ago,
was about thirty-four, nnd the generals
were tho men nbovo tho average. The
fact that but 4 per qent survive at this
late date Is not remarkable. Among
lower grades a greater per cent sur
vivo, and for tho whole army of rank
and fllo tho Burvlvors number about 33
per cent of tho survivors In 1805. Tho
averago ago of all survivors Is sixty
nine, about. Tho average ago of tho
enlisted men enrolled during tho war
period was nbout twenty-three. At
tho outset tho soldier Is nlways
picked man, physically and mentally.
and experience In the servlco teaches
him to take good euro of his health
nnd avoid excesses, Ills como to him,
ns to other men, but ho knows better
than to neglect himself, The youngest
of the ijotcd war leaders on tho regu
lar army roster of survivors, Miles, Is
seventy, and the oldest, Howard, turn

Washington, April 5. The climax in

There Is still a variety of opinions ns
to tiie time that will be given for the
presentation and consideration of
amendments, and the exact date prob
ably will not be known until the order
Is reported to the house.
The time will he fixed by the commit
tee on rules, but that committee will
bo guided entirely by tho wishes of
the committee on ways and means, and
Its members are very close mouthed on
that point. Some are advocating final
action immediately upon the presenta
tion of the order, but tho prevailing
opinion is that the ways and means
committee will feel called upon to per
mit an opportunity to discuss some at
least of the large number of changes
which It will suggest, and It Is even
contended that the vote will be post
poned until Friday or Saturday.
However, some of those who claim
to be closest to the leaders contend
thnt Wednesday has been definitely de
cided upon as the day for the vote. No
one doubts that the fate of the bill In!
tho house will be known before the
end of the week, and there is just as
little doubt that In some shnpe it will
be passed.
Under the rules of the house the or
der covering amendments and fixing
tho time for a vote will be subject to

There are very few members, who ,
would not change some of Its feature?
If they as Individuals were making the
bill, and with some of them the Issues
Involved are very sharp. That a suffi
cient number to carry the order has
been assured Is generally accepted, but
ail appreciate the possibility of unex-
pec-ted defections, and all believe that
the- vote will be close. With the rule
once adopted and a fair chance given
to vote upon some of the disputed
points the vote for the bill will be
larger than that for the order.
The senate will have nothing before
It except the census bill until the tariff
bill comes over from the house nnd Is
reported by tho committee on finance.
It is expected that the senate will ad
journ until Thursday, and it is proba
ble that on that date tho census bill
will bo reported and taken up for con
sideration. The senate finance com
mittee will continue the active con
sideration of the tariff bill during the
week, the hope being to have the meas
ure reported to the senate for its con
sideration by Monday week.
"YELLOW HOUSE" BURNED.
Structure Famous For 200 Years De
stroyed Near Winchester, Va.
Winchester, Va., April 5. Miss Vir
ginia Carter, daughter of Reese B.
Carter, was burned to death in a fire
which destroyed her home, Yellow
House, near here, one of the most his
toric structures in tho state.
Both Mr. nnd Mrs. Carter were bad
ly burned In a futile effort to save
their daughter.
Yellow House was more than 200
years old and was the scene of many
notable events during Revolutionary
and civil war times. General George
Washington stopped there while on
his way to Braddock's relief at Fort
Duqucsnc.
During the conflict between the
states it was the home of Miss Rachel
Wright, whoso information to General
Sheridan was of such value to the
federal army during his vnlley cam
paign that congress voted her a gold
medal In appreciation of her services.

New York, April 5. The special
committee appointed by the National
Civil Service Iteform league to Inves

on the part of federal ofllceholdors
reports that the charges In the main
are sustained.
A notable exception lsi reported In
the allegations made during the Inst
campaign' to the effect that President
ltoosevelt coerced certain federal of
ficeholders Into the support of Mr
Taft for the Republican nomination.
Tho lists of the president's appoint
ments for a year prior to the national
convention were scanned by the com
mittee, which finds that evidence tc
sustain the charges Is wholly lacking.
On the contrary, Mr. lloosevelt Is
credited with having advanced the
cause of civil service 'reform by so
amending the civil service rules to
prohibit employees In the competitive
service from taking part In political
campaigns.

notable discoveries regarding the early
history of Peru has been made by
Hewitt Myring, an English antiqua

with 'J.000 specimens of pottery and

archaeologists to date from 0000 B. C.
were found by Mr. Myring under an
old Inca burying ground about 200

preserved by the silicate of the soil
Each grave contained tho remains of
food nnd glazed clay jugs with two

GOMEZ MAY QUIT TOO.
Reported at Caracas That President
Will Leave Temporarily.
Caracas, via Wlllemstad, Island of
, Curacao, April 5. It Is reported that
the now president. J. Vicente Gomez,
wm turn over the presidency tempora-
rlly to ,T. A. Velutlnl, second vice pres
ldent of tho republic.
It was to Gomez that President Cas
tro handed over the reins of office
when he left for Europe on Nov. 2;
, ast jj0sa than a month later Gomez
overthrew the existing government,
appointed a new cabinet and himself
became president.
Now that the deposed president Is
actually ou board a steamer bound for
Venezuela the greatest speculation pre
vails as to his real intentions. It is
hardly thought that Castro will pro
ceed beyond Port of Spain, Trinidad,
because there is a certainty of imprls
I oninent should he debark here and
I probably death.
I The general opinion held In Caracas
is that General Castro will take up his
residence in Trinidad and await a fa
vorable opportunity to start a revolu
