Es- j trada, the revolutionary leader of Nio- ; aragua, is now president of that re- j public, having assumed office on Sun- i day. ! The office was transferred to him ! by Jose Dolo**"- Estrada, a brother, who on Saturday was made provisional president by Dr. Jose D.

Riotiug is in progress at Managua and many have &en killed. There Is practically no government. Those who could escape fled to Corinto. Madriz and his family were permit­ ted to leave for Corinto unmolested. They will sail from there for Panama and take the steamer for Europe or the United States. News of the excesses perpetrated by the revolutionists at Granada, which was sacked and looted, have instilled the people of Managua with dread. Those who cannot get away are barri­ cading themselves in their homes. Women and children were victims of half-starved marauders at Granada. The United States legation and con­ sulate are under heavy police guard at Managua and uie general situation Is reported to be fery threatening. Should there be any serious disturb­ ances at Managua, the United States government will assume control there, for which purpose it has sent the Yorktown to Corinto to reinforce the Vlcksburg.

As If It were not bad enough for the earth to fly up and hit aeroplanes, lightning has begun striking them. What bald-headed man had hoped to live to see a flyless world? Yet that is what the scientists are plan­ ning. Giddy New York regards the Idea of closing its lobster palaces at 1 a. m. as very little better than a curfew law.

London.--Th» youtnrul American av­ iator, Moissant, accompanied by his mechanician, Albert, Wednesday made a remarkable Sight in a biplane from Paris to London across the English channel. It was the first time this feat was ever accomplished, although often tried. Moissant accomplished his remark­ able flight from Paris to Calais and across the channel In company with hia mechanician, Albert. By making his remarkable flight he captures the cup that a London paper offered and the proceeds of the sub­ scription raised in England for Gra­ ham White, which the unsuccessful competitor in the London-Manchester flight offered as an award in the Paris-London competition. Hubert Latham, who started from Issy, a suburb of Paris, to race Mois­ sant to London, met with a series of aocidents, the last at Amiens, cul­ minating in the wrecking of hia ma­ chine as he was preparing to resume the flight Latham escaped unhurt, J but 'as out of the race. J The last stage of Molssant's flight, i the trip across the channel, was ac­ complished in a strong channel breeze, ; the wind being so high that experi­ enced aviators looked upon the start ; ac foolhardy. It was such a wind i as repeatedly deterred Bleriot, La- \ tham and other aviators from at- : tempting the passage of the straits. t)Ar4-a aiic A' i aiitc,- IA?

Just how great was the extent of the disaster to the stalwarts cannot be known until outlying districts have been heard from, but every indication points to a clean-cut declaration by the party for Insurgency and against the political activities of the Southern Pacific railway. It Is asserted that the progressives have carried to victory two new In­ surgent nominees for congressmen, William Kent in the Second district and W. 1J Stephens lr the Seventh.

Sli BRIMS Congressman Longworth, After Con­ ference with Taft and Others, Makes Significant Statement. Beverly, Mass.--The fight of the Re­ publican party reorganization against Speaker Cannon was opened by Con­ gressman Nicholas Longworth of Ohio, son-in-law of ex-President Roosevelt. In a statement which he Issued Thursday Mr. Longworth declares that having voted for him in caucus on four different occasions he has sup­ ported Cannon for the speakership for the last time and that when the proper time comes, namely the meet­ ing of the Republican caucus at the assembling of the next congress he will oppose Uncle Joe to that position. Mr. Longworth makes it clear that In his view harmony in the Republic­ an ranks and party succbss depends upon Cannon's elimination. "I am absolutely convinced," he he says," that Cannon cannot be again elected speaker." The importance of the Longworth statement lies not only in the fact that the Ohio congressman, a long time friend and supporter of Cannon issued It, but that it was not given to the public until after a series of con- THREE FORMER OFFICIALS OF ROAD ARE TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.

Chicago.--The Illinois Central rail­ way graft scandal storm broke Friday with tempestuous fury when three former high officials of that road were arrested on charges of conspiracy to cheat and defraud the road by false pretenses. More arrests are to follow and the names of others said to be Implicated will probably be revealed at the trial of the men already under arrest. Those arrested are: Prank B.

The 2:02 mile also gives The Harvester a world's record for five- year-old trotters; * world's third heat record, stallions, mares or geldings; a world's record for stallions. The track, horsemen, said, was two min­ utes slow. Rome.--The cholera epidemic Is rapidly spreading in southern Italy, but rumors that it had also reached this city are without foundation. Not a single case has been reported here and the health officials are on the qui vive for any appearance of the mal­ ady. According to the reports Friday the disease Is of a most virulent type and accompanied by a high death rate. Thirty deaths are reported at Trani. The town Is being rapidly depopulated because of the panic among the In­ habitants, The authorities are greatly con­ cerned over the possibility of a still wider spread of the epidemic as a Re­ sult of this flight of people from the disease centers.

Jusserand, and his wife, and the American ambassador, Robert Bacon, and Mrs. Bacon; the marquis de Lafayette, the members of the French mission which presented to America the statue of Rochambeau, now at Washington, and former United States Senator Nathan B. Scott of West Virginia. General Blron, who presided, spoke of the statue as the greatest work of the greatest French sculptor of the eighteenth century. Col. James Mann, chairman of the Virginia commission, delivered the speech of presentation. State Senators Don P. Halsey and Fj W. King of Virginia also made ad­ dresses on behalf of the state of Vir­ ginia. Ambassador Jusserand, in the ab­ sence of the French minister for for­ eign affairs, M. Pichon, accepted the statue on behalf of the French govern­ ment. He declared that the friendship of General Washington and of the American people constituted one of the glories of France.

MORE THAN FIFTY KNOWN DEAli, ONE HUNDRED MISSING IN WEST. SEVERAL TOWNS HEMMED IN Idaho and Montana Settlere Are JFIee- ing From Devastating Forest Fires Which Nothing Can Stop Except Rain. apoKane, wasn.--juore tnan nity persons are known to have perished and between 75 and 100 are missing In the Panhandle of Idaho in the Coeur d'Alene district. The seriously injured, mostly fire flhters, will number, according to the statement made Monday by W. R. Weigle, forest superintendent of the Coeur d'Alenes, more than 200. Many of them have been stricken blind and others have broken limbs. "three families of homesteaders, comprising 15 persons, are believed to have perished In La Tour creek, near Catoldo, Idaho, in the forest fires. At many points hundreds are hemmed in by a narrowing wall of flames and It is impossible to rellob them v/ith help. From Wallac# came reports that the town of Burke is in flames and certain of destruction. The fire rangers in I that territory are so exhausted that no effective battle against tt>.e flames ; can be made. The 300 residents of I the town are In flight toward Wallace. Forest Ranger Pulaski reports to I Superintendent Weill that six of his I men are dead, five having been smoth­ ered in the War Eagle tunnel, where the entire crew took refuge. Ranger Bell reports 12 dead, three permanently blinded and 13 suffering from broken legs. In the hills near Sand Point, Idaho, Forest Ranger Van Dycke and a crew of 65 enlisted in Spokane are report­ ed surrounded by flames. A woman and aer daughter per­ ished at Cabinet. Idaho. Five and perhaps more are known to have died near Newport, Wash., In an attempt to reach the town. All along the Great Northern and northern Pacific tracks between Spo­ kane and Helena numberless fires are known to be raging fiercely, but defi­ nite reports cannot be secured, as the telegraph and telephone wires are all down. Before communication with Libby, Mont., ended it was reported that every male resident of the town was working, with 200 paid fire fighters, to divert Flower creek to the south side of the village as a proteotion against the flamc*3 driving up from that direc­ tion. Helena, Mont.--Reports received here from every fire district in Mon­ tana indicate that the situation is by long odds the worst in the history of the state. Despite the iarge number of troops, civilians and railroad em­ ployes that have been put into the field, the flames are absolute masters of the situation, and there is only one salvation--general rain, but for which there is no prospect. Washington.--Already the forest fires raging in the Missoula, Mont., and northern Idaho districts have con­ sumed timber and property valued at more than $25,000,000. This, accord­ ing to an official of the forest bureau Monday, is a ct^iservative estimate. Three days more at the present rate will more than equal the total loss in the Baltimore fire in 1904. The loss there was estimated at $50,000,000. MHot Sim-- • Busty Roads By the time you treat town end llcht jrov rj. hot and tired and your ib ry with dust and dirt.

London.--Eighteen lives were lost when the British cruiser Bedford ran ashore on the rocko of Quelpart island, Korea, according to a repvt received here Monday by the admiralty. The men were members of the engtne room force. The accident occurred during full speed trials of the vessel and the cruiser was evidently badly damaged, since the deaths are stated officially to have been due to "the inrush of water." The wreck Is about two miles to the west of Nearlow island, which is ofT the southwestern point of Quelpart lslax^L Many sunken rocks are charted in this vicinity, and navi­ gation in the passage between Barlow and Giffard island, its neighbor, is not recommended for this reason." The vessel lies in such a desperate position that there is practically no possibility of saving her. The hull is full of water up to the engine room bulkhead, the water pouring in through gaping holes punched by the sunken rocks, and the officers and -crew have been taken off. The sister warships, the Minotaur and Monmouth of the British squadron, which anchored near the wreck to render assistance, were obliged to put to sea owing to the heavy weather which prevails.

The fact that 100,000 prisoners are discharged from the jails and prisons of the country annually, and that from 10 to 15 per cent, of them have tuber­ culosis, makes the problem of provid­ ing special places for their treatment while they are confined a serious one. So important is the problem that tho Prison association of ^lew York in co­ operation with the State Charities Aid association, is preparing to inaugurate a special campaign for the prevention of tuberculosis in the penal institu­ tions of the state, and will seek to en­ list the co-operation o- all prison phys­ icians and antituberculosis societies in this work.

"I had the honor to be among those friends and I never wearied of the great Norseman's wit and wisdom.
