GERMAN BITTERNESS,
Berlin, June 13. -One result Of Lon-
don's Imperial Press Conference is an
unmistakable sharpening of the tension
which the controversy about naval arm-
aments has introduced into Anglo -
German relations. The speech delivered
by Admiral Von Koester before the
German Navy League and in the
Presence of Prince Henry of Prus-
sia, was in substance a declaration
thee an understanding with Great
Britain on the ghestion - of limiting ar-
maments was' an impossible proposi-
tion, which Glernutay could not, in
any circumstances, consider without
permanently endangering its .prestige
and independence in commerce. Pra-
tte:01y the entire official pres.. and
many newspapers whiel are unofficial
have now emphatically endorsed - this
sentiment, some with wildly contemp.tu-
ous references to Britain's "attack of
nerves, others in a -truculent spirit,
Tho Keene Zeitung, for instance,
after declarinebthat, according to the
British view, the whole world is simply
the British sphere of interest, begs to
remead the British that the Germans are
the "descendants of the people Who once
crushed the Roman world -empire to
.ruins,"
THINKS THE' COLONIES IN A PANIC.
Berlin, June 13. -The press continues
to publish angry comments on the Im-
perial Press Conference. The Vissische
Zeitung believes the "speeches of incite-
ment delivered to the conference were
primarily spoken to the gallery and were
intended to prom.e,te the policy of closer
union of the Empire." The Neueste
Naehrichten ridicules the statement that
the speeches were net panicky. The
Kreuz Zeitung says: "It- is probable.
that the delegates. will agitate for Im-
perialism -with all their strength after
returning home. The speeches delivered
on Friday prove beyond a doubt that
the nervous agitation which we have ob-
served with anxiety in England has been
extended to British oversea is dominions."

At elle head of each column was the

Ruins of Friday's Earthquake
Not Yet Thoroughly Searched..
Marseilles, jun-Ts 137 -It is estimated
to -day that from 76 to 100 were kill-
ed- and about a hundred injured in
the earthquake which • devastated
several towns and villedes in the south-
ormost part of France, particularly in
the departments of Ilerault and Bouehes
the Ithone.
Great suffering is reported from the
remoter places. The casualties may
be greatly increased, as the ruins have
not yet been entirely searched, The
villages of Saint Calmat and Rogues
were completely demolished by -the
earthquake, and Larabese, twelve miles
front Aix, suffered heavily, According to
advices received here, a neuaber of the
wounded are still imprisoned in the
ruins, and soldiers are working desper-
ately to rescue them.
Survivors are sleeping in tents, and
the streets are impassable. In many
places they have been torn up and
are encumbered with masses of rocks.
Houses, public buildings and churches
were crumbled to pieces. Among other
villages seriously damaged are Van-
venargues, Wadies, Pelissanne, Puy
Stalleharade and. Arguilles. The vic-
tims at Saint Cannat and Rogues were
horribly mutilated. There were evi-
dences that several ef the victims had
lived for hours imprieoned by the
debris before they died.
The people rushed into the streel
when the first shock occurred, crying
out in terror. Many of them returned
to the rescue of then families. At
'Rogues a family of four were buried,
Their cries could be heard throughout
the night, but all were dead in the
morning when a rescuing party reach-
ed them. At Saint Cannot an old man
and his son were watching a billiard
game. They ware killed, The players
escaped. The Chateau ValMousse, near
Saint Canna, was badly damaged. The
historic village of Vernegues was wreck-
ed, but no one was killed. The monetaey
loss is very heavy.
FLED PROM THE CITY.
Toulon, June 12. - Fearing
shocks to -night a large number of
residents left the cityand camped in
the country. The Mayor opened the
schoolhouse for those walking the
streets. The earthquake damaged the
arsenal and several ships were almost
driven ashore.
AIX REPORTED IN RUINS.
New York, June 13.-A. cable des-
patch to the Sun from Paris says: De-
tails of the earthquake in the vicinity
of Aix are very meagre, as all the wires
are down. Aix is reported to be in ruins.
Other villages within a radius of sever-
al miles are also said to have been des-
troyed. •
Troops have been sent thence from
Mareeilles and Toulon to aid in the
work of resell°. • There is a large
Italian population in the region, most-
ly laborers from southern Italy and
Sicily. These are familiar with earth-
quake horrors, and they fled wildly
in all directions without stopping to
rescue their con -wader who were in-
jured or buried in the rains.
Ten corpses and five badly injured
persons have been extricated from the
ruins of buildings at Lambesc. Thirty
houses .were levelled by the earth-
quake at St. Chanute. Altogether -seven
villages were destroyed. There were
scenes of panic at Canute and' Nice.
DEATH LIST MAY GROW.
London, June 13. --,Details of ethe
earthquake, which are slawly arriv-
ing, indicate that the casualties 'are
much greater than was previously es-
timated. It is expected that the death
list may amount to several hundred.
Several villages were rendered unin-
habitable, and the number of dead
in the ruins cannot be accurately esti-
mated. Three towns alone now re-
port sixty dead, and there is fully a
score of other villages in the seine
plight or even worse.
The Marseilles correspondent of the
Central News states that it is esti-
mated the death roll numbers 60 at
Lembo°, St Cannat and Rogues. At
Lambesc there were -certainly fifteen
dead; at at. Cannot, nine; at Rogues,
possibly twenty, and certainly six. Sol-
diers • are at work clearing away the
ruins of houses in the hope of saving
persons who may be buried under

discussion, at to -day's session of tile con-
ference of charities and corrections.
Frank E. Wade member of the State
Probation Commission of Buffalo, was
the first ppeaker in the section devoted
V: lawbreakers. He claimed that most
of the offences of children are duo to
the faults of parents, and that the child
problem can never be solved until cor-
rective influences are also applied to
parents, Mr. Wade Would give the ju-
venile courts exclusive jurisdiction in all
eases in which children or parents who
contribute to the delinquency of their
children are concerned.
" Under the topic "Immigrants," Ohm
C..Speranza, attorney for the Society for
Italian immigrants member of the New
York Immigration 'Commission, delivered
an address. He made the sweeping
charge that foreigners, including immi-
grants intending to Make time United
States their home, are discriminated
against in Ames -lean courts. He claimed
that the United States discriminated be-
tween citizens and -prospective citizens
by classifying the latter when they
come to an American part into desirable
and undesirable,and said that while the
country had. a. right to do this, it ought
to be done- by a court rather than by
summary, arbitrary and non -judicial
tribunals or boards of special intquiry.
He claims that this discrimination fol-

BIG BUSH FIRES.
Immense Fires Raging Along the

Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. June 14,-1te-
porte from along the lino of the Algoma
Central Railway say that bush fires are
running all along thee line of the rail-
way, between :nil° t33 and 69, The fire
exthels about three miles ou each side
of' the railway. Last night it made a
break on the property below mile 63,
Smith's camp at mile 68 has been com-
pletely destroyed, and, also the camp of
the Mayflower Mining Company in
Pennyfather Township. The fire threa-
tens the camps along the ClOttlaiti River,
and yesterday W. T. Yull, who conducts
a camp there, was advised to visit it if
he wislMd to save anything. From this
fact it is estimated that the fire is cov-
ering a large district, and unless rain
comes the fire will rage right down to
the "Soo."

fighting the flames,. which are grad-
ually working toward the "Soo."
At Hayden yesterday the houses of
the seetionmen and the water tank
were threatened by the flames, but
were saved with considerable difficulty.
The fires are regarded as the most eer-
ie= that have visited the district for
'many years, and there is no telling what
tho result will be until, the rain comes.
Everything in the bush is very dry as
tinder and the flames are making a pro-
gress which'it is said, is only seen in
the fall of the year when the bush is
dried Out.
It is impossible to say what camps
may have been destroyed along the
Bile and an the shore of the Goulais
River.
