SUIT is BROUGHT.

A dispatch from Mankato, Mimi,
states that suit for breach of promise
for the sum of $4,000 has been
brought by Mrs. Lizzie H. Phelps, pro-
prietor of a millinery establishm ent
there, against Lester Patterson, one
of the wealthiest men in that city, and
proprietor of the Bismarck Wholesale
Grocery in this city. Mr.. Patterson
was recently married to a wealthy
widow at Los Angeles. CAL, and with
his wife is at present resident of this
city. Since the establishment, of his
business here he, has spent much of
his time in Bismarck
1t is understood that Mrs. Phelps,
who is plaintiff in the case. is a sister
of Mrs. Lake, who was in Bismarck
last winter, an applicant for a di-
voice. =.. .-
1t is frequently the case that the
possession Of wealth is an inducement
to suits of this kind, where the foun-
dation is nothing more than the dis
appointment following an infatuation,
famed into flame by the cupidity OF
attorneys in the hope of obtaining Il
contingent fee worth the effort 1t
is learned here that Mr. Patterson and
Mrs. Phelps were friends in Mankato,
and MI Patterson was unaware of the
intense attachment for him, knowing
that it was unwarranted from any
promise or action of his. Naturally
he regrets the action that has been
taken, from motives of delioacy inher-
ent in every gentleman, and feels that
a hasty action has been taken-or in
ducsd-which is entirely unjustified.

thoritative source.
Minneapolis is to become the northern
terminue of the Rock Island system. It is
probable that the official list of the Cedar
Rapids road will be cut down to some
extent. All it's present plans for strength
enlng it's position in northwestern traffic
will be carried out.
This is but a continuance of the Rock
Islands policy of building up big, strong
system reaching the principal terminal
and shipping centers of the middle west
It also includes Capitalization of man
agement to be directed from Chicago. The
new blood in the Rock Island is gradually
supplanting the old. President w. B,
Leeds is taking the reins Of authority
from R. r. Cable, chairman of the board.
The Cedar Rapids road operates a total
mileage of 1887 miles. The majority of

SOFT COAL men

Frank P. Sargent Predicts a
General Sympathy
Walkout.

s, St. Louis, May 2S.-Frank P. Sargent,
head Of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen, member Of the National Labor
Arbitration committee of which Senator
Hanna is chairman, and recently appoint
ed :commi ioner of Immigration, stated
to-day, the. Post Dispatch says, that
general sympathy strike Of all the soft
coal miners In the United States would
probably, be ordered. -
The anthracite miners continued Mr..
Sargent, asked very little and were
willing to make concessions but the atti-
tude of the operators from the start was
such that /. did not hesitate to suggest
the strike to John Michel, president of
the United Mine Workers OF America. I
do not see at this time any hope of a
compromise.
The coal harons believe they are mas
tiers of the situation, while the working
mon are equally confident of their
strength and their chances Of success.
There are 100000 men idle, as a result
of the strike.
"There are between 425,0 and $50, 900
soft coal miners throughout the country
and not one union in my Judgment would
hesitate "a moment to respond favorably
to call for a general strike. That
there will positively be such a strike, I
cannot say. My opinion is based solely
on conferences have held with President
Mitchell"

THE MONDAY ERUPTION

Another Account of the Display
Which Lasted Two Hours.
1Se,1 York SUN Special Se,.rtco 80.
Fort de France, May 2S.-At the last
eruption of Mont Pelee Monday nigh. a
majority of the population crowded into
the streets and gaZed with awe and fear
at the peculiar flashes which stretched
across the heavens. The display lasted
for nearly two hours and then subsidod,
whereupon the people returned to their
homes, where they remained disquieted
throughout the night.
The flames for an hour were $50 meters
high and of a diameter Of 300 meters.
Thousands of lightning flashes were seen.
The electrical disturbances were very ter
rifying though they were localized around
the volcano. t.-.. -..:
The mountain threw out great quanti-
ties of volcanic matter, and the northern
towns We're covered with ashes. Six
houses were destroyed at Basse-Pointe,
but no deaths have been reported. The
inhabitants Of Marigot, Grand Anse, Ma
coub, st. Jacques and Ajoupa Bouillon are
in state Of terror.
Professor Robert T. Hill, the American
geologist. is said to have advised the
evacuation of these towns ard to have
recommended the town Of Trinite- as the
site for a new city.
Ten thousand persons are said to be de-
sorting the northern part of the island
and coming to Fort-GeFrance.

STANDING PAT
House Insurgents and Demo
Gratis Will Prevent Cuban
Legislation.

From The journal Bureau. Room 10. Posi-
Building, Harrington. s5}..ttz-. ~
. Washington, May 2S.-Regardless of the
merits Of the proposition, it is time to
say that the outlook for Cuba reciprocity
lily be worse. The trouble will come in
the conferences between the two houses
It is understood that the senate will pro-
vide for straight reciprocity, 20 per cent
under the Dingley rates, for five years
1t will omit the differential feature of
the house bill. This is the rock on which
the plan will go to pieces.
Representatives Richardson and Dear
mond, speaking after a thorough canvass
of their side of the house, told the re-
publican insurgents to-day that the demo-
cratic members were prepared to stand
out solidly against the elimination of the
differential feature They asked Represen-
tatives Tawney, William Alden Smith and
other insurgent leaders what the insur-
gents proposed to do.
eff you will stand pat they said, 1--WE
will support you, taking the differential
as our excuse. If you propose to weaken,
let us know now, SO we may shape our
course accordingly
To this the insurgent leaders replied: ;
1--WE are enlisted for the war, and will
not surrender to any bill which is de-
parture from the bill passed by the
house,
S, On this basis the insurgents and demo-
Gratis are together, and it is hardly pos
sible that their plans can fail. So, it
really makes no differences what the sem
ate 3does, for if the plans just out lined
are carried out, the Cuban proposition
will die in conference. Thatsit will thus
die is beginning to be the opinion of the
leading men Of both houses. Said a mem
Der of the Minnesota delegation to-day:
''our most difficult task was performed
when we stood up in the house and were
counted against the bill several months
ago. It will be an easy matter to stand
up again, and dificult to do anything else.
We confidently predict, after careful In
curry and consultation with those demo-
cratic leaders, that Cuban legislation will
be impossible at this session, unless made
along the lines Of the house bill. AS the
country now knows, the senate will not
favors the house bill. and that means that
nothing can be done.

An amendment was adopted to the i'm
migration bill, prohibiting the sale Of In
toxicants anywhere on government reser-
vations or where the capitol stands. 1t
was carried by a large majority, but there
was no record vote. SSs-s4
During the brief discussion of the
amendment Mr.. Wheeler Of Kentucky elo-
quently defended the reputation Of the
members of congress as to sobriety. He
declared that during his six-year service
in the house he could count on the fingers
of one hand the number of congressman
he had seen Intoxicated, He believed that
nowhere in the republic could 257 men be
found who were so little addicted to
drink
Every member who voted for the amend
ment yesterday is we'll aware that the
senate will kill 1t, but the opportunity
was ripe for putting the odium of defeat
ing it upon that body.
Cunning After Mr.. Hoar.
Senator Spooner of wisconsin will speak
on the Philippine question tomorrow and
is expected to handle the critics of the
army and administration without gloves.
There is. reason to believe that he will
devote much of his speech to dissection
of Senator Hoar's arguments.
There is a. feeling that the republicans
have been too gconsiderate Of Mr.. Hoar's
feelings. They maintain that the Mas
sachusetts senator is the most dangerous
of all the critics of the government.
There have been limitations that the
democrats propose to use Cuban reciproc-
dty as a vehicle for further assault on
the administration for campaign purposes.
Senators Jones and Money are expected to
set the pace.

the grand jury yesterday it seems evident
that the jury is Investigating Detective
Norm King. The witnesses were John
Reid, now convict; Harry Adams, ar
rested with Reid for, the larceny of a
diamond, and John 1. Hooper, owner of
the diamond. While the stone was recov-
cred from the men who stole it, Hooper
has never seen it since the night it was
stolen.
It has been reported that one indictment
was found by the jury yesterday, but this
cannot be aulthoritatively stated, as the

TRIP TO MORNE ROUGE
Two Correspondents Saw the Last
EruDtion at Too Close Quarters.

Eruption at Too Close Quarters.
New York May 2S.-Mont Pelee from
which there was another violent eruption
on Monday was quiet again Tuesday night,
according to a Herald dispatch from Fort
de-France But the inhabit ants of the
island are in terrified state. The vol
cano is puzzling all the scientists, some
of whom say the mountain has thus far
made only beginning Morne Rouge was
saved from destruction.
Two correspondents, believing the vol
cano had for time at least, subsidized,
planned expedition to the mountain
for the purpose of securing photographs.
Several natives were employed as guides.
After wearying march which took most
of Monday, Morne Rouge was reached
about half past o'clock in the evening.
The correspondents were welcomed by a
kindly disposed priest, who gave such in
formation as was in his possession. He
insisted upon a pause being made for re-
freshments, and in his humble home food
was prepared. It was this generous cour-
tesy of the priest THAT saved the expedi-
ton from destruction. The original plan
was that the visit should be made to the
crater as soon as possible and quick re-
turn be made to Fort de- France to avoid
all danger. --.-..-'..-.. 800 -.-....
People Did Not Stop to Look.
While the evening meal was being pre-
pared the priest pointed out the work of
9, ruin that had been accomplished. He said
he had refused to leave his post, though
he was not at all certain Morne Rouge
would not be swept from existence as was
st. Pierre. 1t was while he was talking
that the last explosion came. ,..l,..l
From their homes the. inha bitants of
the village ran in panic. Some did not
wait to see what was happening, but tur-

church and fell upon their knees, but by
Tar the greater number ran without daring
to look behind. The display of lightning
was terrific, and awe-inspiring.
Dangerous Return Trip.
When the start was made on the return
trip to Fort -de-France the guides and
servants were gone. The correspondents
had to find their way across hills as best
they could. Behind, Mont Pelee continued
to belch fire, ashes, smoke and mud The
detonations were of sufficient strength to
make the ground tremble. It seemed to
the weary travellers as If the mountain
tops swayed above their heads
To add Ito the horror of the situation
they encountered every now and then a

which thousands have been killed by the
eruptions were seen amid the glare from
the volcano and the flashes of light ming
gliding over the rocks and hurrying away
as if they. too, had learned that their
mountain home was no longer a safe
place.
On all sides were natives praying and
