DELEGATIONS GOOD WORK
Believed That Senate Commit
 tees Raises Will Stand.
Aumored That the Re-enactment of the Geary Law Will Be Out come of Discussion of Ex
 clusion of the Chinese.

Washington. April 11.-(Special.)-Th Senate Committee on Commerce. which has had under consideration the river and harbor bill passed by the House, today reported its recommendations to the Sen ate, and thereby made it possible to ob- tain complete and correct list of the appropriations given to the State of Ala b5 ma. A number of reports, based on information gathered. at random. have been sent out and some of these have been incorrect.
 AIabamas total share is something over two millions.
 The recommend tions made by the Sen ate committee will most probably be adopted by the Senate. Most probably. too, they will be agreed to by the con- ference committee acting for the House and Senate and finally concurrcd in by the House, thus making the appropria- tions mentioned below the final figures to be given Alabama by the Fifty-seventh Congress.
 Speaking on this point tonight, Repre- sentative Bankhead, who will be one of the House conferees, said: The Senate did not strike out single item or Ala DdInd DuuBet Iioust o'''' u'N think the conferecs will not object to the Senate's additions. For my part, l shall try to have the House concur in every item put in by the Senate"
 The principal item the Senate added to Alabsma's budget is of course, the Ceosa River appropriation, which is ip- creased by s1s7.00o.
 This sum is to be expended in compiet- ing Lock I, opposite Riverside. The re- port that the Coosa got S400, 000 increa SC is a mistake, MT. Bankhead says. Mobile gets $500 GOO for barbor Improvements. The Senate committee added a provision that s5O.oe9 of this sum might be expended q the outer htrbtsszfD the discretion Of tho Secretary of War.
 The Tennessee gets $60o.o0O for the re- movala of Colbert Shoals.
 The Warrior gets $500 900.
 These appropriations include the cash sums allowed and also the continuing coa- tracts which are practically the same as cash appropriations since the work is authorized and the sums must be pro- yided in the future.
 The appropriations are the direct re- suits of the splendid efforts made for Ala hama rivers and harbors by members Of the delega ton. Representatives Taylor. Bankhead, Bowie, Wiley. Thompson, Richardson. Burnett, Underwood and Clayton all figured strongly in the conl- mittee hearings, while Senators Morgan and 'Pettus gave their influence for the budget As 4 result of their work Ala hama gets as much in proportion to her area as any State in the Union.

--------------------- ------------------------ TO BEAT BUTTER BILL.
Opponents of the Measure Expect to
 Win Out.

Washington. April 1.-The House Com mittee on Agriculture decided today to re commend the acceptance of the Sen ate amendments to the oleomargarine bill.
 The opponents to the bill believe there are parliamentary difficulties still in the way of final disposition of the measure, otwithstanding tOdays action. It is claimed that as the Senate amendments make changes in the revenues, they can not be concurred in until the House has considered them in the committee of the whole. This. it is claimed. will require a special rule. and the opponents of the bill claim to have gre ound for the belief that this special rule will not be made.

sentiment for Geary Law.

There is q report current at the Capitol today that the Senate leaders. both Dem ocratic and Republican, have practically agreed to reject the Chinese exclusion bill now under discussion in the Senate and to pass a bill which simply re-enacts the Geary exclusion act, which is about to expire
 Senators have been flooded with tclc- grams since the House passed the new Chinese exclusion bill. The messages unite in declaring Chinese merchants should he allowed to come into this coun- try, and also that Chinese should not be excluded from working on vessels flying the American flag.
 Under the terms of the new exclusion bill both these classes of Chinese are barred while under the Geary law they are not Many of the telegrams are from shipping experts of the Pacific coast, who declare that vessels now sailing under American flags will be forced to change to the British flag if the new law is en- acted The report that the Geary law will be renewed is said to be correct by some prominent and reliable authorities.

CAPTURE OF A NINE.
Sensational Story In Regard to STRAIT
tons independence.


Denver, Sept. S.-The Republicans
Cripple Creek correspondent last night
tclegraphed us follows:
Sensational developments have fol-
lowed the reported resignation of A.
]. 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 S..ipman and the
assistant manager. Il. j. 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, It Is
said, there We're rcinforcements In the

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

Point-a-Pit Sept. 1T is general
ly believed that the island of Marti-
nique Is doomed to total destruction,
and the fear is that when the catastro-
phe comes, Guadaloupe will be visited
by an alldestructive tidal wave. Busi-
ness Is absolutely at standstill. Few
shops are open, and IL IL were not for
the efforts of small number Of more
valiant souls, hundreds would starve
to death here because of their fear of
n 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 proper ions. Morne La
croix, one of the peaks that reared
skywerd from the south side of Pelee.
has fallen bodily into the crater and
has been completely swallowed. There
seems to be a 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 fame 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 a quick
retreat. although they succeeded in
taking out few wounded. The coun-
try nearly to Fort de France is buried
under deep cover of ashes. This has
made 1t almost impossible 10 find the
bodies of those who have perished
while fleeing to the sea coast.

Will Eioht the Moros.

Manila, Sept. o. General Chaffee has
ordered General Sumner, commanding
the Department of Mindanao, to lead a
column against the Macin Moros. In
his order, General Chaffee suggests
that eight companies Of infantry, two
troops of cavalry and one battery
shall form at Camp Wears, island Of
Mindanao. 1t is expected that the col
umn will move within week
Most of the attacks upon the Ameri-
can forces have originated in the Ma
Gin country. This movement is to be
directed against hostiles, several Of
whom are enumerated in General Chat
fees order. General Sumner is direct
ed to require the hostiles to give a sat
isfactory pledge to refrain from aggres-
sion in the future.
There are several Moro strongholds
In the Macin country. 1t is not def
nitely known where the first opposition
will be encountered. This will depend
upon General Summers course after
moving. General Sumner is directed
to protect the friendly natives.

Kingston, st. Vincent, Sept. Am
appalling phenomenon was witnessed
last night. 1t lasted from 0 a. m. to 8
o'clock In the morning. A dreadful
eruption of the Soufriere volcano en-
veloped this whole island in an electric
cloud and smoke.
At IL o'clock this morning the atmos-
phcre 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, IL 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 were mingled with con-
tiruous terrible roar. Clmmerian 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 the widest flights of fancy could
not have imagined. This lasted until
in the morning.
The rumor that 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 9 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 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 were unmistakable
signs Of Mont Pelee (Aartinique) be-
ing in eruption simultaneously with
the Saufiriere.

formed Admiral Killick on the Crete-a-
Pierrot that he must remove his crew
and surrender his vessel in five min

quest. was granted on the condition
that the arms and ammunition on
board the Crete-a.Pierrot should be
abandoned when her crew left herr
The crew of the Crete-a-Pierrot left
that vessel amid great disorder. At the

When these men had arrived at q
point about twenty yards from the
Crete-a-Pierrot, flames were seen to
break out on board of her. She had
been fred by her crew before they left
her.
The Panther then fired on the Crete

President Attends Convention Of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Fire
men at CHATTANOOGA.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept. 0.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt yesterday addressed the
firemen's convention at length, walk
ing from the hotel to the auditorium,
escorted by Grand Master Sargent, a.
committee of the brotherhood and a de-
tachment of troop B, state guard.
The brotherhood first held its ex-
ecutive session Acting Grand Master
Hannahan welcomed the President,
stating that his attendance ut the con-
vention would do great good to or
ganized labor, not only in this country,
but in Canada and other countries as
well.
The President returned his thanks
for the welcome and said he was glad
to be with the brotherhood. He said
the firemen's brotherhood was the re-
suit which naturally comes from the
application of the principle of common
sense. He said that organized labor
never had made an unreasonable re-
quest of him and that if it had he
Fould have denied it, In speaking of
the appointment of Grand Master Sar-
gent of the brotherhood to be a COM
missioner general of immigration, the
President said it was one of the most
satisfactory appointments to him and
to the public he had ever made.
John F. McNamee of Columbus,
Ohio, one of the grand officers, and a
Democratic member of the Legislature,
moved that the degree of grand hon
orary membership be conferred upon
President Roosevelt. The motion was
referred to the committee on cOnstitu-
ton and bylaws, whose recommended
ton was unanimous that the molten be
accepted. The report of the committee
was adopted by a rising unanimous
vote, and amid great cheers.
The President thanked the conven-
ton for the compliment paid him, and
Grand Master Sargent then gave him
pass which admitted him to all meet
ings of the brotherhood.
After an address of welcome in be-
half Of the state by Governor McMil-
Ian and an address by Grand Master
Sargent, President Roosevelt was H.
troduced by Acting Grand Master Han
nahan. His reception was most en-
thusiastic, the audience rising to its
feet and cheering. When the President
addressed the convention as MY
Brothers." he was cheered again. He
said he was glad to be here, and Joined
with the others in extending cordial
welcome TO the visitors from Canada
and Mexico. He needed no pressing,
he said, to come to this meeting.
II always have, gentlemen, admired
greatly the railroad men of the coun-
try, and do not see how anyone who
believes in the fundamental principles
of citizenship can fail to do SO.
Il want the average American to be
a game man, and an honest man. and
a man who can handle himself and
does handle himself well under diff
culties.
''The last time 1 ever saw General
Sherman dined at his house, and we
got to talking over the capacity of dif-
ferent types of soldiers, and the gen.
eral happened to say that II ever there
were another war and he were to have
a command, he would endeavor to get
as many railroad men as possible un-
der him."
