AGAINST MACLAY'S HISTORY,
House Opposes Its Purchase by the
Government.

The House went on record Saturday
afternoon against the Maclay naval his
tory. After discussing the subject for
nearly two hours the amendment which
Mr.. Mudd gave notice of on the previous
day, preventing any part of the money
appropriated by the naval appropriation
bill under discussion from being used to
purchase Maclay histories, was adopted
without a dissenting voice. MIR. Mudd in
discussing the matter said that the Presi-
dent had stated to him that this work
should never be used. However, he wanted
the matter settled, so that no other Presi-
dent could change this verdict. In this
Mr. Pearre Joined his colleague making
some complimentary remarks concerning
Admiral Schley.
Mr.. Foss Qll.) remarked that he had sup
posed the Sampson-Schley controversy was
dead, which raised a laugh on the demo-
cratic side. He said the controversy ought
to have been closed when the court of in
quiry made its findings and when the
President Of the United States reviewed
those findings.
Mr.. Dayton, In supporting the point of
order he had made against the amendment
of Mr. Mudd. said he believed that to wait
until the testimony was published was the
wisest thing.
Mr.. Williams retorted by saying he want
ed the Speaker to appoint a committee of
investigation to ascertain just what is
true of the Sampson-Schley controversy.
Mr.. Schirm Md in making his maiden
effort before the House said that the I'M
fortunate controversy between SAMPSON
and Schley had not been forced by the
friends of Admiral Schley; that truth had
been perverted by Maclay.
Mr.. Cannon NH1 remarked that he did
not believe that anybody in the House or
the country believed that Schley was a
coward. He said he did not believe any,

ANOTHER ERUPTION FEARED.
Mount Pelee in Martinique Still Shows
Great ActiVitv

A dispatch from Fort de France, Marti-
nique, yesterday says: Acting Governor
L'Huerre and other insu1ar authorities and
the committee of doctors who embarked on
the French cruiser Suchet proceeded on
that ship to ST. Pierre to determine whether
there was danger in permitting the exami-
nation of the ruins to continue, inasmuch
as a large number Of the corpses buried
there are in state Of putrefaction.
AS the authorities were about to debark
at ST. Pierre large quantity of lava flowed
into the Riviere Blanche, and this. accom-
panied by an enormous cloud OF smoke,
made 1t appear doubtful whether 1t would
be possible to examine St. Pierre because
of the danger Of being lost in the ruins.
The party did not land and the Suchet
steamed to the north.
In the direction of lie Precheur the ap-
pearance of the volcano was not SO terri
flying. The ground of LIE Precheur is COW
cred with a thick layer of cinders, and the
limbs of the trees are weighted down with
them.
After the cruiser passed Cape Sainte
Marie the cinders on shore were seen to
be less thick, and gradually decreased as
the vessel approached Basse Pointe. Here
the Suchet anchored, and a small boat
came out from the shore, bearing persons
who asked for food. Thirty-eight barrels
of biscuits and eight hogsheads Of Goldfish
were distributed. There are 600 inhabitants
at Basse Pointe, and number Of families
have fled the village, leaving all their prop
erty behind.
The river at Basse Pointe Is filled with
mud, which appears to be congealing. The
bridge there has been completely destroyed.
The river water has ceased to flow. but
cattle get water from the springs in the
neighborhood. There are several very fine
sugar-cane estates in the vicinity Of Basse
Pointe.
Several women with their children and
baggage embarked on the Suchet there,
and the cruiser returned to St. Pierre.
The return trip was quite difficult as the
coasts were at times hidden from view.
The temperature of the water was taken
and proved to be % LILO degrees centigrade.
Upon reaching St. Pierre the second time
the government authorities landed. There
was a strong odor Of burnt flesh in the
town, and flies were beginning to congre-
gate there in great numbers.
Difficulty is had in burning the bodies:
The committee of doctors examined the
ruins and declared that in some parts of
the town 1t would be impossible to let the
work Of excavation continue.
Access to ST. Pierre is difficult today. The
town is surrounded by thick clouds of
cinders and vapor, and at times it is i'm
possible to see more than six feet
Cinders are also falling at Fort de
France, and the population became
alarmed, but Is now more quiet. Toward )
o'clock in the evening here breathing be-
comes quite difficult, and horses show signs
of disquietude. The United States cruiser
Cincinnati and the government tug Potomac
are al Fort de France.

thought, however, as Maclay had been
kicked out of the service IL came with
rather bad grace to attach the amendment
to the bill, when its adoption could not

Schley's standing.
The amendment was adopted without a

NEW TELEPHONE BOOK
IN BINDERS HANDS.

Telephone subscribers will be graft.
fed to learn that the new directory of
the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
company Is in the hands of the binders
and will be issued in a few days. says
the Salt Lake Tribune. It is much
smaller than the old book, containing
but forty pages. The names are close
ly set In double columns Of solid type,
there being about 100 names on each
page instead of twenty as in the old
book. A great saving to the company
was effected by ~lessening the size Of
the book, according to President Geo.
Y. Wallace, who says the new books
cost 2 cents apiece, whereas the form
er issue were worth 20 cents each.
This means a saving Of about $4,000
to the stockholders.

BY Prof. Roberts on Results Of Ex-
pertinent.

Matthew'S hall for the past eigh' weeks
in connection with the normal depart
ment of the university. under the dir
ection of Prof. Frank H H. Roberts
and with Misses Stella Harmon. Nellie
lies, Fanny Hance. Susie Lewis, Mar
garet Lothian, Emma Musselma:. and
Margaret McGill as the teachers. will
close tomorrow, the closing excl cises
occurring between 10 and IL o'clock,
to which the parents of the children
and all others interested are cordially
invited The class consists Of the fol-
lowing little ones: Frank Roberts. Ray
Mckee, Dorothy Downey. Margaret
Soule, Sammie Ware, Willie MarquaIdt,
Helen Tyvold, Robbie Fisher. Nina
Cook, Margaret Fast. Elizabeth Bar
Der, Fulton Bellamy. Dorothy Fisher
and Earl Taylor.
A reporter for The Republican was
present while the little ones were at
work. They were engaged in weaving
paper mats, slips of paper for the warp
being woven. in the wool. slit on pur.
pose, and furnished in different colors.
This work is cleverly done, the chill
dren showing wonderful inventive
ability in the different patterns.
Perforated cards were filled with
colored yarns in different designs. and
colored squares were pasted in regu-
lar form.
Perhaps the feature of the work
most noticeable was that by Earl
Taylor, who is almost totally blind.
His sense of feeling is very acute and
his judgment of forms something re-
markable. His weaving and his needle
work were not one whit behind his
more favored companions while the
pasting, lone on a card whose lines
were raised with a knife, was up to
the best.
The little ones sang while the re.
porter was present, Fulton Dellamy
told a story. Frank Roberts and Doro-
thy Downey recited pieces and all
joined in a march and a romp. while
the teachers sang Here We Go Round
the Mulberry Bush"
The kindergarten experiment, Prof.
Roberts says. has more than met his
expectations, and the young ladies
who have taught the class have emit
cred into the work with a purpose that
is sure to bring success in their chos-
en- profession.
Tomorrow the little mes will show
their gifts and display their work for
the benefit of the public, proving the
usefulness Of the class as a training
for the future teachers Of the state.
The young ladies' are justly proud of
the results achieved during the past
eight weeks and Prof. Roberts Is quite
pleased with the young teachers.
