President Arrives at Smedes,
Miss. and Starts for Camp
on the Little Sunhower.
SIGNS OF BEAR ARE PLENTIFUL.
Executiye Is Promised a Shot at Big
Game Before This Evening-It Is
Said President Roosevelt Will Lose
Five Poundo n as Many Days.

Roosevelt and lis party arrived here
before 4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
and in their hunting togs started soo2
afterward for the camp on the Lit
tie Sunfiower river. The distance Is
about Is miles ana the trail II rough
and bad.
Smedes is a siding on the Yazoo
and Mississippi Valley railway, where
Gotten is loaded from the big Smedes
plantations. A plantation store and
the residence Of one of the managers
are the only structures, except negro
cabins, in sight. Work on the neigh
boring plantations was suspended
yesterday afternoon, and several hun
dred negroes were at the siding when
the train stopped.
Two disappointments met the presi-
dent here. The first one was that
Mr.. Mingum, who had much to do
with arranging the hunt, was too i'll
to proceed to camp last night, and
the other was the story which came
back from camp that in trying the
pack Of hounds yesterday half Of the
dogs had gone eff after a deer, which
was jumped while Hoke Collier was
On the trail OF bear. AS there are
only % dogs in the pack, the split
is very disquieting. Mr.. Mingum, as
soon as he heard Of this accident,
put himself in communication with
Bobo, a famous bear hunter, who has
a fine pack CT as dogs on his place,
about 100 miles north OF here, at
Bobc station. If his pack can be Sc
cured, there will be a. sutficiency OF
dogs. In place Of Mr.. Mingum, it has
been arranged that Hugh. Foote and
Hoke Collier Will hunt with the pres
ident. Paths nave been cut through
the underground, to be used as cut
offs to the river crossing, and on these
stations the members of the party,
except the president, will be sta
toned.
The president and his guides will
follow the hounds through the under
growth, in order to be at hand if a
bear is brought to bay. at will be
powerful hard. said Mr.. Mingum,
"and l predict the president will lose
at least five pounds in the next five
days. l rode through there a few
days ago and when I got out nv
clothes were almost torn off me.
looked as IL I had been in railroad
wreck"
Mr.. Mingum says the black bears
hereabouts weigh from 800 to 600
pounds. 1--WE nave a set of scales
at the camp said he, "and the bears
will be weighed when they are
brought in"
The signs of bears in the vicinity
Of the camp are plentiful, and Mr..
Parker promises the president a shot
before this evening. In one water
hole Hoke Collier, on Monday, found
the footprints Of nine.
The presidents train is on the side
track here and telegraph station
has been rigged up in a box car on
the siding.
The arrangements made here to
prevent crowd Of curious people
from spelling the presidents fun
were admirably carried out. The peo-
pie Of Vicksburg wanted to run an
excursion up here yesterday after
noon to allow them to see the presi-
dent start on his hunt, but President
Fish of the Illinois Central RaiIrood
company, would not permit it.

VOLCANO DESTROYS CITY.
Many Hundreds of the Inhabitants
of Retnlbulen, Guatemala, Are
Slain by the Eruption.

San Francisco, June Another
city in Central America las suffered
almost complete destruction and huE-
dreds of it's inhabitants have been
killed by volcanic eruptions.
The steamer Palena, which arrived
Friday from southern ports, brings
the news that the town of Retail.
bulen, situated at the foot of Mount
Tacoma, in Guatemala, has been
buried under a mas of lava, stones
and ashes thrown from the volcanic
crater, and probably 1000 of its peo-
pie have persisted.
The volcano is about % miles from
Champanico, and near the town Of
Tapachulo, which, it is believed, also
suffered severely.
The eruption occurred several days
before the steamer Palena arrived at
Champanico. The We els officers
were informed by the ~company's
agent at that place that the volcano
had shown signs of impending erup-
ton for several days previous to the
outbreak. In fact, Mount Tacoma had
been restless eve since the great
earthquake of April IS, which de-
stroyed the city of Quezaltenango.
For weeks a black pail of smoke
hung v its summit and the glare
from the crater frequently illuminated
the sky. Many of the inhabitants of
Retalbulen fled from their homes to
places of safety and these escaped
frightful deaths.

Washington June AFTER a con-
ference with the members of his cab
met Friday President Roosevelt de-
cided that there is no legal ground for
Interference by him inthe settlement
of the dispute between the coal oper-
ators and striking miners. The resolu-
ton of the New York board of trade
and transportation requesting the
president to appoint a commissioners to
visit the anthracite regions and inves-
tigate the situation, was discussed at
great length, but as the law of 1892,

desire to assume the responsibility
which the New York board of trade
suggested.
