BACHELORS' COTILLON

Washington Society Billed for a Great Time Tonight. Washington, Jan 6.—With the bachelors' cotillon tonight the social season in the national capital will begin formally. There have been, of course many coming-out parties, reception? and balls, notably that at the White Hotiae for Miss Ethel Roosevelt, but tonight's event will be the first large gathering of Washington's ultra smart set. The first bachelors’ cotillon is an annual event in Washington society, to which the buds of the season look forward with eager anticipation. Success at the cotillon means a season of gayety and pleasure, and often the belle of the cotillon remains the belle of Washington until the following year. All of Washington's socially prominent young women, as well as many of the younger married set. will be at the cotillon. Among the buds will he Miss Carrie Munn, Miss Martha Bacon, Miss Elizabeth Parker and others of Miss Roosevelt’s set, as well as the White House debutante. Another prominent figure will he Miss Katherine Elkins, whose “affair” with the Duke of the Abruzzi filled so much newspaper space a short time ago.

AUTHORITIES APPREHENSIVE Typhoid at Messina Causes Grave Alarm. PESTILENCE MAY ADD HORROR Without a Degree of Sanitary Precaution Almost Impossible to Take Under the Circumstances, It is Feared That Diseases May Claim Many in the Stricken District—Search oi Ruins for Still Living Victims Ha« Practically Ceased, Though Ever Now Persons Alive Are Occasionally Dug Out of Overwhelming Wreckage Tenerlffe, Canary Islands, Jan. 6.— An earthquake shock lasting twelve seconds was felt here Tuesday. It overturned furniture and set bells tc ringing In the houses. The people rushed into the streets in a state ol alarm, but nu damage was done. Messina, Jan. 6.—The breaking out of typhoid fever here has filled the authorities with alarm and apprehension It is realized that unless proper sani tary precautions are taken at once the disease may spread far outside the ruined district. The work of rescue is being pushed on indefatlgably by night as well as by day, and even now persons alive are occasionally dug out from the ruins. An old woman was released from th« wreckage of the church of San Fran cisco last evening. She did not seem to realize that she had been buried for so many days. She explained that she thought she was entombed In the church after having died a natural death and that she was living in the hereafter. Efforts to release the living will be continued for another day In cases where there is reason to believe that success will be met with. Those whe have lost relatives and friends still continue to hope against hope, and no argument suffices to convince them that further search is useless. Some of the survivors seem to be quite incapable of helping themselves In even the most elementary manner The following Incident is a good exam pie of this condition: A correspond ent met a family consisting of father mother and five children standing prao tlcally naked in a small open square The rain was coming down in torrents “For the love of God help us to get out of this inferno,’' said the father ot the family. “That is easy enough,” was the reply. “Go down to the harbor and you will find boats ready to take you away.” “How can we get there?” was the next question. "On your two legs,” was the answer But the family refused to move, the father explaining that they had uo um brellas.

BETTING OUT OF REGGIO Continued Earthquakes Bring Terror to the Few Survivors. Reggio, Jan. 6.—The work of rescue ts practically completed here and it Is expected that Reggio will be practically evacuated by tonight, when the troops and sailors will be reduced, all told, to 1,000 men. There are at present 3,200 soldiers and 1,000 sailors here. Two aged men, each seventy years old, were abstracted alive from the ruins last evening. A curious fact Is the proportion of old people found alive after days of burial. They seem to have greater power of endurance than younger men and w'onien. Earthquakes occurred here yester day. the shocks being about twenty minutes apart. One of the heavy shocks caused the collapse of a num her of broken walls and added to the terror of the few survivors who r» main here. PATCHED UP AT LAST Panama and Colombia Finally Agree to Neighborly Relations. Washington, Jan. Negotiations have just been concluded between the governments of the United States, Colombia and Panama whereby all matters In controversy between them are settled By the terms of the treaty, Colombia recognizes the Independence of Panama and the two countries resume diplomatic and commercial relations.
