journey, ruinous to temper. wearing
to nerves, for the beast was insensible
to both bit and whip. Ills quiet, UNI
interested eye and calm, obstinate pur-
suit of edible leaves in dangerous
places made US. call a court-martial.
Why should Excelsior not be shot?
The only thing in the way of such
sentence was the circumstance that he
had been lent to us, not hired nor
sold. One guide offered to twist his
tail all the way home and keep him in
the path. We compromised on COM
polling the guide who made the sug-
gestion to ride Excelsior himself. When
his owner saw him come in, he showed
surprise. / knew he never had ex-
pected to see him again. He had lent
him to the crater-climbers as a des-
perate means of getting rid of him.
Using the incomplete personal obser-
vations from four points-St. Pierre,
the hills east of St. Pierre, from
Morne Rouge, about one and one-half
crater, and from the northeast,
close and far, and from the north
east edges of the crater itself-one
may form a more or less definite idea
of the new conformation of the sum-
NIT of Pelee. Looked al from the sea
of the River Blanche what used to be
one unified summit is now seemingly
divided-so that the wide assure made
in that side makes il appear from be-
low. l do not believe that there is
more than one great cone. There may
be small vents or fumaroles due to the
escapes of steam from the still heated
mud deposits in the Rivers Blanche
and Falaise, and they may jet mud
at times in small quantities. But
they are unimportant.
From the hills to the east of St
Pierre and from Morne Rouge one gets
excellent clear views of the cone.
Knowing what maleficenr power it is
capable Of, it cannot but inspire awe.
Being so rugged, with square-to topped
jags of unequal hight, with great
seams down it, and only white hot
mud boiling over like porridge, it
must be true that the material of the
cone is something more than mud or
cinder. There is an angularity and
solidity about the material it is built
of that indicates the presence of gran
lite. When the overflow of mud in
creases, the crater (Which is to the
cone what the saucer is to the cup)
itself oVerfiows into the Rivers Falaise
and Blanche. causing volumes of va
por to mark its course to the sea.
AS to dimensions all is still guess
work. From where we stopped to
lunch, on the lip of the old crater
at a rock we called 1.-The hotep'-it
is about $50 yards to the verge of the
present crater.

BUSINESS MEN FOR PEACE
Seeking to Bring About Settlement by
Arbitration,
RAILROADS UNWILLING TO ACCEPT IT
The Managers DecIara They Have Nothing Il
Arbitrate. A Sympathetic Strike of
The Transfers of Chicago is
Now Threatened.
(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago, July 10.-Business men of the
city took an actie part in attempting to
settle the strike of the freigh handlers
today and at midnight although nothing
had been definitely settled some little
progress had been made.
An agreement was secured from the
freight handlers union that the organi-
cation would abide by the decision of
the Chicago board of arbitration if that
organization could arrange meetings with
the general managers of the railroads
and secure their consent also to arbi-
tration. At midnight the request for ar
bitration had not been submitted to the
railroads and it is not likely that such ac-
ton will be taken before tomorrow morn
ing. There is grave doubt that the prop
osition will be favorably received by
the railroads when it comes. General
Manager Hit, of the Rock Island, and
General Manager Barrett of the Alton,
said tonight, that they had not been
requested to arbitrate and did not see
what there was to arbitrate. The general
manager of another large western road
said that, while he did not care to be
quoted personally, he was confident that
no proposition for arbitration would be
entertained by his road
Our men left u.s. he said, without
even presenting their grievances, and we
have never received a request from them
directly"
The strikers have hopes Of success on
the sympathetic strike of the transfers.
The officers of the Transfers Union pro-
fess to be opposed to any strike, but are
fearful that they will not be able to
hold the men in line.
The meetings of the freight handlers
today developed an almost unanimous
desire to continue the fight with or with
cut the aid of other organizations. Large
crowds of strikers gathered round their
Headquarters.

with the physicians re-entered the mine
In another half hour they came out again
this time with six living, but almost
dead miners One man in his paroxysms
had locked his jaws so that force had
to be employed to pry them open for the
insertion of life instilling fluids. These
six were taken in an unconscious condi-
ton 20 the Cambria Hospital. One man
brought out with this crowd, died Just
as he reached daylight.
At that time three more headings, be-
lleyed to be filled with the dead were
unsearched. Thirty nine bodies were 1y-
ing within reach in the main heading
These were brought out at 3:45 p. m.
These bodies were piled high in the coal
cars and covered with canvas
These remains were in terrible state
showing that there had been slow death
in each case. One of the men had his
mouth and nose tied by about by tower.
The rest of his face was burned beyond
recognition.
The bodies of all were twisted in horri-
BILE shapes. most of the arms being
crooked so as to shield the face. The
only one who could be identified at the
pit mouth was Fire Boss Joseph Tom
linson.
One of the volunteer rescuers who
came out with this load of dead, stated
that fire was raging in parts of the mine
that would take some time to quell.
Most of those who were brought out alive
this afternoon had saved themselves by
crawling into chamber and turning a
valve on the compressed air pipe line
which runs along the entry. One man
was found dead with his hands clutched
so tightly about a monkey wrench that
it could not be removed.
