PELEE CAUSES A PANIC.
A New Eruption of Martinique
 Volcano.
TIDAL WAVE DESTROYS Av1LLAGE,

Ships In Fort de France Harbor
 Have Steam Up Ready to Take
 Flight at a Moments Nottce-Lava Fall. In That City's Streets.
 Fort de France, Martinique, May 21. Yesterday morning at 5:30 thick. heavy cloud, lit up by flashes of light ming and the rising sun, rose from Mont Pelee. The people of Fort de France at once became panic stricken and in scant attire rushed excitedly through the streets of the town. Stones from the volcano as big as hazel nuts fell in the streets. Many of the inhabitants hurriedly embarked on the vessels in the harbor, and it was with difficulty that they were eventually treasured.
 A cloud of cinders issued from Mont Pelee amid awful detonations. It Is estimated that 10000 persons rushed into the streets of the town, shrieking and praying. It was reported that tidal wave had destroyed a portion of the village of Le Carbet. The Suchet will go at once to St. Pierre with Gov ernor L'Heurre and Senator Knight.
 Many of the inhabitants of Fort de France have embarked on available vessels in the harbor and intend to seek refuge on the island of Guade- loupe or to the southward.
 Greater Than First EruDtioh.
 It is said that the force of the explo- sion was much greater than that which accompanied the eruption which pour ed destruction upon St. Pierre. At the time nothing definite is know of condi- tions farther to the north.
 Smoke fills the air. darkening the sky. Ashes are falling steadily. When the heavens are filled with lightning, as frequently happens, it can be seen that Mont Pelee has not ceased to throw out a great column of lava and stones. There has been a perfect calm in the air, yet the waters of the Caribbean are lashed to a fury, indicating that the same forces that cause the volcano to labor are working tremendous changes at the bottom of the sea. Words are inadequate to describe the actual conditions. Disaster Is expected at any moment, and in the harbor ev- cry ship has steam up and is ready to slip cable and speed away.

y " COMMENTING upon the APP
pearance Of Messrs. Lenahan and
OBrien before the Anthracite
Strike commission as legal repre-
eentatives of certain non-union work
ers, the Wilkes-Barre Record says:
There is no mistakng the object of the
non-,inon mine workers in presenting q
case of their own to the commission
Jointly with the United Mine Workers
and the operators. They will want ia

mission, whether or not they shall be
able to work at the mines without being
members of a labor organization. This

commissioners had not counted upon. and
II may lead to complications of an un-
expected nature.
We cannot assume to say what the
commissioners have or have not count
ed upon in this connection: but a care

ators asserting to the creation of the
commission and defining the terms up

certainly ought to take away any ele-
ment of surprise in this quarter How
garded-whether as a hero. in President
FliOt's opinion, or as a Judas Iscariot
or Benedict Arnold, to use the caustic
metaphor of President Gompers-he is
in any event a factor present in the
anthracite problem, and therefore hav-
ing to be considered.
AS to possible complica ions. there
can be none so long as the union men,
bers go no farther than President Nit
chell indicated when he advised against
lawlessness. 1t is hardly to be expected
that intimate and cordial social rela-
tions are soon to form between the
union and non-uniOn workers and their
families; all that any reasonable man
has right to expect and what every
law-respecting citizen has, moreover,
the right and the duty to demand, is
that where the law gives men the right
to earn their living without molestation
it shall be enforced, irrespective of
membership or non-membership in any
union, lodge or church.
With the utmost respect to the COM
mission, we do not see that this uues-
ton is before it in any sense opening
1t TO doubt. IT has been decided by a
power superior even to the learned
commission--namely, the cons stitution of
the United States.
