The province of Avellino bore the brunt of a severe earthquake that was felt throughout Southern Italy shortly before dawn the other day. The dead are estimated from thirty-five to fifty, and many are injured. Distressing scenes were witnessed as thousands fled in terror from their hovels, somo dying of fright. Much damage was done to property, but it is impossible to determine the extent of the devastation. In Avellino little harm was done, and the only death reported was that of an old .man who died of fright. The population, however, was terror-stricken. Reports from villages throughout the province are much more grave. At Calitri, where twenty people are reported killed, the situation is distressing. Ten persons are said to have met death at San Sossio, where the sulphur waters, with which the district is rich, were released from bound3 by the disturbance and flooded the vicinity.

In a moment panic had seized the 20,000 Inhabitants, who live In daily fear of a seismic disaster. Half naked men, women and children fled from their homes screaming with terror. They had In their minds visions of Messina and the horror of Reggio. Recently there was gossiped about a prediction that the approach of Halley's comet portended the end of the world.

After several hours of frantic entreaty the authorities succeeded in re-establishing a semblance of calm and relief squads were organized. AsNi3 usually the case, the inhabitants refused to reenter theiMiomes, fearing that another quakr would occur.

The railroad bill was sent to conference and consideration of the postal savings bank bill was begun in the House by Democrats and "insurgents" in the House, under the leaderShip of Representative Lenroot, cf Wisconsin, to agree to the Senate amend ments to the railroad bill and avoid a ! conference.

Senator Hale declared Mr. Beverldge's purpose to be the destruction of the present tariff law.

The partial conference report on the naval bill was agreed to. The House accepted the proposal of the Senate to build one battle ship in a government navy-yard and a $1,000,000 collier on the Pacific coast. The report of the conferees on the rivers and harbors bill was agreed to, the total appropriations and authorizations being $51,947,718.
