cessions of refugees parading with light-
ed candles, cruises and pictures of
saints. The accession of thousands of
these fugitives to the population of
Naples, with their stories u1 the terror
and devastation wrought by \'esuwius n
their villages. has had much to do with
the increasing panic here.
The loss of properly by the volcanic
outbreak is estimated al 820,000,000. and
it Is announced that 5a)),IXO persons have

They are in a state of great excitement,
hewwever, requiring doubled guards.
11 is reported front Ottajano, Nola
and Somme
that
numerous shocks at
earthquake were felt there. Their ef-
fect was partly neutralized by the fact
that great qunnitiies of ashes lay piled
up high against the trails, and act as 1.
support for them.
The crater is belching out n tremen-
dous torrent of water, mixed with
stones and cinders. These cinders are
more dangerous than they have been
hitherto. as they are much heavier.
At Somme Vesuviaia, north-east of
the volcano, fifty houses and portions

SEI DING IN THE WEST.
Spring Opens Quite Satisfactory for
Farm Work.
A Winnipeg despatch says: The first
report from the Canadian Pacific agents
regarding the progress of seeding oper-
ations was receival on Wednesday. The
reports Indicate that seeding operations,
while not In full blast, may be said to
be general throughout the western Pile
vlr►ces, and in some portions the work
is far advanced. On the niain line west
seeding has begun at many points,
Burnside Leing the first district to re-
port operations as general.
The conditions throughout the coun-
try are somewhat uniform, taken as a
whole, and no large portion can be said
to be much In advance of any other.
Seeding Is as fully advanced In the
new Provinces ns id Manitoba, and it
there is any slight ndtantngo It appar-
ently rests with Saskatchewan. On the
whole the spring is opening in a way
quite satisfactory to those concerned in
the groin crop, in which number all
western Canada people may be said to
be included. In addition to the report
on the work of seeding, statistics are se-
cured by the company showing the in-
t. or decrease in acreage, a I
majority of agents reporting an incr
et from 5 to 10 per cent. in rare c
an increase of 25 per cent. is repor
and In a few instances there is n s
decrease. At certain comparatively n
bouts the increase is still larger. W
urn, for instance, reports an lucre
of 40 per cent.; Maroon, 05 per cc
Dundurn, on the Prince Albert line,
per cent., and Stoughton, on
Moose Mountain, 35 per cent.
