Of that time ascribed TO these depar-
lures from time honored custom the
dire events that followed. An accident

And. again. the crown itself was so
small or 80 III fitting that it would not
stay on the kings head and had to be
held on by Sir Henry sidney, who re-
marked that this was not the first time
his family had supported the crown.
There Is little doubt that the crown Of
st. Edward will sit well ON the brow Of
the latest OF the name TO assume t. for,
though his head is OF a peculiar shape,
he has taken the precaution TO have the
dladem reblOcked for the occasion
In addition to the ceremonials already
mentioned preceding the crowning, oth-
er forms are gone through with in ac-
cordance with prescribed usage. For
instance, after the king has risen from
his deyotions at the altar he viii accom-

And from the east, west, north and

Is that the first coronation in the pres

MARTINIQUE DOOMED.
General Belief That the Island viii Be
Totally Destroyed.

Point-a-Pitrie, Sept. lit is general
Iy believed that the island OF Marti-
mque is doomed to total destruction,
and the fear is that when the catastro-
phe comes, Guadaloupe will be visited
by an all-destructive tidal wave. Busi-
ness Is absolutely at a standstin. Few
shops are open, and IL 1t were not for
the efforts of a spall number Of more
valiant souls, hundreds would starve
to death here because of their fear of
a more terrible death.
Details that have been received dur
ing the last two days prove that the
eruption on Mont Pelee OF August Both
WAS far more violent than any Of the
earlier expositions.
AS the eruptions continue, the mouth
OF Mont Pelee grows In size. 1t is now
of enormous proportions. MOrne La
croix, one Of the peaks that reared
skyward from the south side OF Pelee,
has fallen bodily into the crater and
has been completely swallowed. There
seems to be side pressure in the crat-
er and the burning chasm widens per-
ceptibly every day.
Clouds no more hang about the crest
of Mont Pelee. The terrific heat seems
to drive everything away. The col
umn Of flame and smoke rears direct
ly into the heavens, SO that its top Is
lost to sight. In the darkness Of the
night 1t has the appearance Of stream
of molten iron, standing fixed between
heaven and earth.
From Morne Capote the relief Of
troops were compelled to beat quick
retreat, although they succeeded in
tnkinv out few wounded. The colln-
try nearly to Fort de France is buried
under deep cover Of ashes. This has
made it almost impossible to find the
bodies of those who have perished
while fleeing to the sea coast.

CAPTURE OF a MINE.
Sensational story In Regard to STRAIT
toms Independence.

toms Independence.
Denver, Sept. S.-The Republicans
Cripple Creek correspondent last night
telegraphed as follows:
Sensational developments have fol-
lowed the reported resignation Of A.
J. Shipman as manager of the STRAIT
toms Independence mine in this dis
trict
1t develops that Harry II. Lee, the
attorney of Denver, representing the
company, together with Chester A.
Beatty, John Hays Hammond, the
chief engineer, and Harold Pitcom, the
assistant manager of the Camp Bird
mine at Ouray, and Tom Cornish of
Georgetown, who arrived here last
night, went to the mine this morning.
Their plans had been prearranged.
Attorney Lee, in the presence of the
parties named. demanded immediate
possession Of the mine, which was at
first refused, but after Mr.. Lee had
shown his hand, both Shipman and the
assistant manager, Il. ]. Grant, retired,
and Mr.. Cornish was placed in charge
Of the property.
The parties are understood to have
all been armed and to have been pre-
pared for trouble. At distance, 1t is
said, there were reinforcements in the
shape of armed men, in case the en-
plOyes at the mine came to the assist
afce Of Shipmnn and Grant. Other de-
velopments of a sensational nature are
expected soon.

Kingston, st. Vincent, Sept. Am
appalling phenomenon was witnessed
last night. 1t lasted from a. m. to B
o'clock in the morning. A dreadful
eruption of the Soufriere volcano en-
veloped this whole island in an electric
cloud and smoke.
AT II o'clock this morning the atmos-
phere was still unsettled, but the
eruption was apparently subsiding.
The sun is obscured and oppressive
heat prevails.
The sea is slightly agitated. Sand
has fallen ten miles from the crater.
No sand has fallen here. The northern
centers are deserted.
Officials have been sent from here by
boat to visit the northern parishes,
and, If possible, to report on the de
struction of property and loss of life.
The heat in Martinique is said to be
almost unbearable.
At 2 o'clock in the morning loud, rap
i'd explosions We're mingled with con-
tinuous terrible roar. Cimmerian dark
ness, changed into constantly glim-
mering armament, illumined by forked
lightning, balls of fire ascended from
the crater and bursting into meteor
like showers. Such an awe-inspiring
scene tne Widest HlShtS OF Iancy cOulu
not have imagined. This lasted until
3 in the morning.
The rumor that a tidal wave was
expected caused increased agitation,
and hundreds of people fled to the hills.
Superheated clouds rose to an immense
height and rain clouds below sent
down two showers.
AT a. m. silver clouds were issu-
ing from the crater and throughout
the day they moved slowly northward.
The heat was abnormal and there were
renewed indications of a further out
break of the volcano.
The people residing near the fire zone
have been notified by the administra-
tor of the island to leave Georgetown,
Chateau Bellair, and the villages and
estates in the northern portion of the
island, We're evacuated this afternoon.
There is no telephone communication
with the affected district, the operators
having left their posts.
Last night there We're unmistakable
signs of Mont Pelee (A1artinique) be-
ing in eruption simultaneously with
the Saufiriere.
