A HISTORICAL SKETCH

The Place of Rocha mbeau in Ameri-
IF . can History.
Next to Lafayette no Frenchman rem
dered more important service to the cause
of American independence than Count
Rochambeau, in whose memory the beau
tiful monument was dedicated to-day In
the historic Lafayette square, just OPP
posite the White House. The hero in
whose: honor the square Is named Is COM
memorated in bronze In statue which
occupies the corner opposite the presi-
dents eastern gate; the Rochambeau
occupies the corresponding
corner across from the western gate.
Marquis De Lafayette came to this
country ON his own responsibility. hav-
ing hired ships at his own expense and
bringing men whom he paid from his
private purse. He was young enthusiast
for the cause Of liberty. Count Rocham-
beau was sent by King Louis XVI: he
came at the head Of an army OF 5000
men, which force he commanded at the
siege Of Yorktown, rendering great assist
ance in bringing about the surrender OF
Lord CORVALLIS and the victorious end
ing of the war OF the revolution. Rocham-
beau was a veteran of the French wars.
His coming to America was In part a
political move and an incident to the
war between England and France. Ar
rived in this country, he threw himself
with ardor into the cause and became.

Washington.
When Rochambeau received orders to
take command Of the troops destined for
America he was IS years Of age and
had been following the calling Of war for
more than twenty years. He had been
three times wounded, twice In the thigh
and once in the head. He had been edu-

practice of war, being graduated at an
early age from the Academy Of Paris.

Fort-de- France, May 24.-Hundreds of
families are leaving the place. The in
habitants of Grand Rivlere have been. cut
off from the rest OF the island and for
the time being are deprived of all aid.
Many persons have lost their reason on
account of the excitement.
The steamships Versailles and Vile de
Tanger have sailed with $50 refugees for
West Indian and South American ports.
Both these vessels were crowded with per-
sons up to what their captains considered
the limit of safety. The departure was
attended by another demonstration of the
frantic eagerness of the people to get
away. Many persons who had tried to
secure passage on the vessels were seen
standing on the wharves and weeping.
The United States steamer Potomac
made her regular trip to st. Pierre yes
terday with another party Of scientists.
She found the conditions there unchanged.
The top Of the mountain was clearly Wis
ible for a considerable time. Captain Nc
Lean of the United States cruiser Cincin-
natl, who has carefully observed Mont
Pelee, agrees with other experts in re-
porting that new crater has been formed
below the old one. -..
Verdict of the Scientists.
In the new crater there is a great Gin
der cone more than hundred feet high
from which steam and volcanic matter is
constantly pouring. -
1t is now the unanimous opinion of the

BEDS The scientists compare the noun
tains outthrow to the steam of boiler
in which the pressure rises to bursting
point and they think it possible that a
more violent outbreak may occur. The
scientists remark that the explosions have
occurred at progressively longer intervals
and that they have also been progressive
ly more violent. Thus there had been
three light eruptions Of ashes. On May
there was an overflow of mud which
caused the destruction of the Usins Cue
rim; on May 8 there was the outburst
which destroyed st. Pierre, and on May
20, or after an interval OF twelve DAYS,
the last tremendous outburst occurred. A
new period OF rest, is now on and one of
two things may happen. The pressure NAV

then explode with still greater violence.

The Van SAINT administration Is in
trouble. 1t had a little game to pass
out a Van SAINT campaign fund of about
$4,000 to administration favorites
among the Republican editors of the
state. The Republican editors not on
the list for pap have taken cognizance
of the game and are demanding recog-
milton.
Thanks to the work of the extra ses-
sion of the legislature and the passage
of the gross earnings bill by the regu-
lar session several constitutional
amendments will be voted for at the
coming election. The state law pro-
vides that an explanatory gist of pro-
be printed in a designated paper in
each county in the state and the pa
pers of st. Paul.
The constitutional amendments to be
voted for this fall could have been ex-
planned in a paragraph for each, but
that would not put the money in cir
culation and the money is needed. An
explanatory publication was prepared,
which at the legal rate will amount to
about $10o per publication.
Favorites Get Easy Money.
Properly distributed the publication
will help one Republican editor in each
county feel that he is appreciated and
that he is a real factor in the Van SAINT
organization. 1t will also result in the
distribution of an S., 400 campaign fund
without the necessity of drawing on
the assessment fund levied on the state
officials and appointees.
The administration made no partic-
ular effort to advertise the fact that it
was about to spend the money. Nearly
every county in the state has from five
to dozen Republican papers. In ev-
cry county all but a favored paper was
receiving large punches of jolly and di-
rections to whoop it up for Van SAINT
and the ticket. One was slated for
500 in easy money.
All would have been we'll if someone
had not tipped the fact that the list was
being made up and that the job was a
good one. The composition in the aV-
erage country office will cost about SIS

ness in the realm of the administration.
The jobs will have to be given out now
according to the programme Of the
original promises and 400 Republican
editors stand to be sore over their fail
ure to get in on the pap, which would
have amounted to very little had it not
been deemed necessary to play a bunch
of favorites strong.

The denomination of Representative
John H. Dorsey, of Glencoe, by the
Democrats of Mcleod county, was
only fitting recognition of the serv-
ices of faithful representative and a
recognized leader in the last house.
DR.. Dorsey will be reelected by the

ord entities him to, and he will step
into a place of larger prominence in
state legislation than he occupied in
the last legislature. He is a good
man, and as a legislator and as SOL
der he proved himself fearless. He
is made of the stuff which makes men
leaders.
DR.. Dorsey is forty-seven years old;
a native of Pennsylvania, and grad
uate of st. Francis college and the
medical department of the University
Of Maryland. He came to Minnesota
in 1878. He is a lifelong Democrat,

DR.. Dorsey was one of the most popu-

The men of his command were his

he attend them that when the regi-
ment was mustered out of the service
he knew every man in the command by
name, and the men all knew and loved
their assistant surgeon. His popu-

fact that two years ago he was elected

the strongest man in the Mcleod coun-
