BIG GLORY. "
Denver Balloon Report Sent in
from Castle Rock.

Denver. Col, Sept. 1.-The latest report
OF the progress of the balloon which was
sent up from this city yesterday afternoon
In an effort to establish a new long-dis-
tance and time-record was SEM in from
Castle Rock last night. 1t was to the ef-
feet that near that point just at dusk
quantity of ballast was tossed out and i'm
mediately the balloon began to ascend un-
til a height of 1900 feet was attained. The
balloon then started in a southwesterly
direction and when it passed from view
was apparently going at a high rate of
speed. The story that a descent to The
ground was made anywhere since the start
is vigorously denied here by those who
should know. 1t is expected that as soon
as daylight comes the occupants will re-
lease one of its parachute message car
riers. the contents of which will be tele-
graphed here
big Glory" the largest balloon ever
constructed, was successfully started from
this city Sunday afternoon on trip for
the purpose of breaking the worlds long
distance record as well as all previous rec
ords for fast balloon sailing.
1t is also intended ultimately to reach
tains 140 900 cubic feet of hydrogen gas and
was built especially for this trip. The ex-
pedition was planned and equipped by a
Denver newspaper. The occupants of the
balloon are Captains T. S. Baldwin and
Percy Hudson, aeronauts. and c. s.
Sherman. member of the art staff
of the paper. Bottles containing MESA ges
will be dropped to the earth by means of
parachutes and these messages will indi-
cate the course of travel and experiences
of the travellers.

IN A RIOT.
Trolley Car Crews and Passen.
gers in Fierce Fight.

New York, Sept. IA large party re-
turning from the Zion cemetery, Queens
county, to this city became involved in
a riot. and about two dozen men, wo-
men and children were injured.
The trouble started shortly after the
three trolley cars had left the cemetery
for Long Island ferry. The conductor
of one of the cars finding it impossible
to collect fare frors G passenger, brought
the car to STOP An argument ensued
during which the conductor was struck
on the head with a loaded cane. He
called to the motorman, while the pas
sengers rallied around their comrade.
Employees from the other cars hurried
forward and a fierce fight ensued- Pas
sengers who were not armed with canes
drew trowels. which some had brought
from home to use in the cemetery.
After a drawn battle the passengers
resumed their seats and the car pro-
ceeded.
The trouble broke out afresh when
Calvary cemetery was reached This
time the three motormen and conduc-i
tors were reinforced, and got the better
of the argument.
Finally the cars were boarded again
and reached Long Island city without
trouble. There were dozen women in
the party who were hysterical and had
to be treated before they could resume
their journey home. Three arrests were
made.

IN CLOUD OF DUST
Large Portion of West Indies
Envel0ped In a Mist.
Supposed to Proceed From
Eruption Of Mont Pelee.

Roseau, Dominica, B. W. l., Sept l.
A thick mist has enveloped Roseau and
its neighborhood and. dust is falling.
The mist was taken, as 1t approached,
for rainstorm. The dust is still fall
ing, although lightly. but during the
night of the 30th the quantity of the
dust which fell here will be greater
than upon any previous occasion since
the first eruption Of Mont Pelee. At
nightfall Of the Both a dark cone-shap-
ed cloud, emitting electric flashes, rose
in the south. but it gradually was OBJ
scured by the mist caused by the fall
ing ashes. Rumbling noises and de-
donations were heard during the night
of the Both. The people here are quiet.
No news has yet reached here from
Martinique.
ST. John Antigua, B. w. T., Sept. l.
Many very loud detonations were heard
here from o'clock last night to mid
night.
A severe eruption of Mont Pelee, Mar
Unique, was reported to have occurred
at noon August 21 This report was
brought to Castries, island of ST. Lucia,
by officers of the French steamship Da-
home. This eruption was followed by
total darkness five miles away from the
volcano.
A dispatch received from ST. Thomas,
B. w. L. August 26 said that between
10 o'clock in the morning and in the
afternoon of August 25, clouds of dust
were seeen in the direction of Mont
Pelee from the island of Dominica De-
donations were heard and there were
light showers of volcanic dust on the
island
The following message was received
from Dominica Tuesday, the 26th:
Since 2 p. m. today CTuesday) prolong-
ed rumbling noises in quick succession
have been heard from the southwark.
There is every indication that Mont
Pelee is in violent eruption"
A dispatch from Paris, dated August
%, said the latest dispatches received at
the ministry of the colonies from Fort
de France, island of Martinique, were
dated Monday, August 25 They made
no mention of the reported eruptions OF
Mont Pelee. The Paris dispatches said
also that the cables to Martinique, both
north and south. continued to be inter-
rupted.
Efforts made to communicate by cable
direct with the island of Martinique
have proved unsuccessful. Telegraphic
communication with that island from
here is still interrupted.

ENEMY LANDS.
Makes a Dash Into Port of
Woods Hole, Mass.
Lands a Force and Seizes Tele-
graph and Cable Stations.

Woods Hole, Mass, Sept. 1.-The
United States cruiser Olympia dashed
into this port this forenoon, landed a
force and seized all telegraph. telephone
and cable stations, thereby cutting of
all communication with Martha's Vine
yard and Elizabeth island.
OF course the seizure and the destruc-
ton of telegraphic and cable facilities
were hgurative, and it required the de-
cision Of an umpire to make plain
whether or not the point attempted by
the admiral had been won. As the
landing was made. the telegraph and
telephone offices were entered by suffi-
cient force to have destroyed the pro-
perty, or at least the instruments, and
at the same time boats crew had
located the cables with graphing hooks
and had held them sufficient period
to have allowed for the cutting of them,
that the move had been entirely sue
cessful
The Olympia appeared off this port
suddenly early this morning and imme-
diately two boats put off toward shore.
One was launch and the other a
whale boat and in them was a detach-
ment under Lieut.. L. M. Everhardt.
The launch landed here while the
whaleboat lay off shore and at once be-
gan graphing for the cable The men
under Lieut. Everhardt rushed to the
office of the Martha's Vineyard Tele-
phone station and carried out their
orders to make the seizure. Having ac-
complished this work they returned to
their launch, Joined the whaleboat and
returned to their ship. This move cut
off the only communication with the
islands of Nantucket and Marshal's
Vineyard, which are very important
observation stations.
