J., May 23.-M. Labat, the senior
town councillor of Fort De France,
who was among the refugees who ar
rived here, Wednesday, from Martin
ique, on the Norwegian steamer Hell
ga, accompanied by his entire family,
was interviewed by a press CORE
spondent. He said that since the St.
Pierre disaster, the population of
Fort De France had been excited and
anxious. This was intensified as the
ash showers from Mont Pelee thick
ened, pumice rained more often and
the frequent detonations became
louder. Councillor Labat related
thrilling stories Of escapes from the
environs of st. Pierre, which he gath
cred from refugees.
An Incessant Rain Of Ashes.
ION Saturday, at three in the after
noon," he said, ian %incessant rain Of
ashes obscured the sky, and at five
o'clock total darkness prevailed. The
population, generally, was unnerved.
Sunday was lighter but the ash rain
continued with an occasional fall Of
lava, Stag and pumice, and continuous
rumblings from the mountain, and
the feeling of anxiety continued.

MURDERED In A CHURCH.
A Rejected Lover Shoots the Youna
Woman and Escapes to the
WOOds-POsses i'm Pursuit.

Atlanta, Ga, May 25.-Five or six
en- different posses are tonight
searching the country adjacent to

age, the son of a well-to-do farmer,
who to-day shot and killed Miss Lila
Suite, a young woman of 10, at Wes-
ley chapel, Mount Gilead camp
grounds, nine miles from Atlanta.
Just as the minister had finished
the benediction and before any of the
wo%rshippers had left the church, Lee,
who was sitting behind Miss Suttle,
leaned forward and fired at her. The
first bullet entered her back. but no
vital part was reached, and an in
slant later Lee fired again, killing the
girl instantly.
While the churchgoers stood as
founded Lee backed out of the door
and started for the woods. On the
way he met a man named Childress
to whom he confessed the murder
ind asked Childress to take the re-
volver and kill him. Childress paid no
attention to the young man and
passed on.
Lee next went to his fathers house,
where he again told the story of the
murder, and securing 500 started
away.
AS soon as the worshippers at the
chapel realized what had happened
they made an endeavor to capture the
assailant, but he had escaped. Sew
eral posses were soon ordered, and a
call sent in for bloodhounds. DR..
John Suttle, father OF the murdered
girl, heads one of the posses, while
his son directs another. -
Miss Suttle had refused Lees at
tentions, it is said, because she CON
sidered herself above him socially.

But He Is s.A Weak Creature With

From Tho journal Bureau. Room, IS, Post
building, Washtsa0ton.
Washington, Feb. 24.-Attorney General
Knox talks freely about the Noyes case.
This morning he said:
l never have believed Noyes was dis
honest or currupt and do not believe so now.
But he is weak creature, in my judgment.
and some Of his official acts at Nome show
he has no perception of the judicial func-
ton He certainly is not competent TO dis
charge judicial functions.
Noyes' friends in Washington make no
complaint save that they think Knox
should have taken local conditions at
Nome into account. They claim that no
man, under the stress and strain prevail
at all times. Senator Hansbrough, Of
North Dakota. recognized here as Noyes'
closest friend in congress-, said:
The grounds upon which Judge ,Noyes has
been removed are clearly stated by the attor-
ney general and in the opinion Of the attor-
ney general Judge Noyes has shown that he
was incompetent and inJudicial in his actions
The attorney general ignores the charge OF
dishonesty and corruption and asserts his dis
belief as to such charges: Now with re-
spect to the charge of incompetency I have
nothing to say, because I am layman and
should prefer to believe that when Senators
Davis. Nelson, Spooner and Quarles, the
Judges Of the supreme court of Minnesots

County Commiss toner's Asked to He
Allowed to Draw.

Allowed to Draw.
At meeting of the Hennepin delega-
ton Saturday afternoon at the CONNER
cial club, Assistant County Attorney G.
L. Smith offered resolution to the eff
feet that the county commissioners be au-
thorized to draw upon any funds not
otherwise appropriated to meet the eX-
penses involved under the new sheriffs
salary bill. The amount of salaries as
therein stated will amount to about SILL
400, To some the necessity for the reso
luton was not apparent. The county
commissioners, in their schedule A. sub
mitted to the board of tax levy last Sep
TENDER, asked that they be allowed for
''prisoners and detectives" $4,000, for
"sheriff's fees, services, etc." 81 ,0O0 or
total of $40, $780, while the salaries
were included in schedule B. The
statement of the county commissioners
for January, 1902, showed that they would
have for use in 1902 for sheriff's fees, the
magnificent sum of $30,734. Under such
conditions the wonder is why they should
ask to be allowed to meet any obliga-
tions of the new bill by drawing upon
any unappropriated funds there may be
in the county treasury. The fees under
the new plan, which are to go into the
treasury and the amount already provided
for. should certainly take care of all
emergencies.
The delegation was liberal in the
amount of salaries fixed in the bill. The
deputies are to get about so per cent
more than is at present paid, while the
jailer, who is now getting $75, is to be
paid 500 month.

A CHURCH MERGER
English Lutherans Invited to Toin
Augustana Conference.
IMPORTANT ACTION AT RED WING
Committee Appointed on Behalf Of
Swedish Lutherans to Garry
Out the Plan.

Swedish Lutherans to Carry
Out the Plan.
Special to The Journal.
Red Wing, Mimi, Feb. 24.-At to-day S
session of the Swedish Lutheran confer
ence the committee appointed to consider
, the matter reported in favor Of inviting
the English Lutheran synod, known as
the Synod Of the Northwest, to join the
Swedish conference on condition that the
constitutions of the Swedish conference
and of the Augustana synod are adopted.
After a heated discussion the conference
adopted the report, even some of the most
conservative members voting in favor OF
the merger.
The direct cause Of this somewhat sur
prising action was recommendation sub
mtted earlier in the session by the ex-
ecutive committee that pastors conduct
occasional English services and that Eng
lish be used in the Sunday schools
wherever conditions seemed to- make it
advisable, in order that the young people
who prefer English may be retained in
the church of their fathers.
| Rev. MI. KrantZ of Duluth said he had
tried the plan in his own congregation
and pronounced it practically a failure,
| because those of his people who wanted
English services generally attended the
| English Lutheran church.
| DR.. Norelius Of Vasa then asked ii
Rev. Mr.. Krantz would favor inviting the
English synod to join the Swedish confer
ence. Mr.. KrantZ said he would. Then
and there the matter was referred to a
special committee and the final important
result, which was scarcely looked for, was
arrived at this morning.
Rev. L. G. Aleen of Balaton, Rev. A.
! Bergen of Cambridge, DR.. Norelius OF
Vasa, and Rev. P. Sjoblom of Dunnell sup
ported the plan Of uniting the two church
, bodies. Rev. l.. G.. Bergstrom Of Win
| throp and Rev. Mr.. Bauman Of Cokato, led
the opposition.
The following committee was appointed
to negotiate with the English synod:
Rev. A. Monten Of Fargo, Rev. P. Sjo-
blom of Dunnell, Rev. F. N. Eckman OF
Center City, DR.. J. S. Carlson Of Mime
apolis and Professor A. A. Stomberg OF
| St. Peter.
1t is thought the conference will be able
| to adjourn tonight. All the services yes
terday were largely attended,, the weather
! conducting to general outpouring of the
people.

| wrecked by two explosions, involving a
| loss OF $1,000. Almost at the same time
the assay offices of Vanderwalker, Nor :
gan and Williams were treated likewise.
| The loss was approximately as large as

CHICAGO GOODS REVOLT
Girls Declare, They Are Being Scien-
tificaily Starved to Death by
Professor Of Cooking.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Feb. 24.-Hygienic cooking and
the selection of foods according to the
scientific principles held by Dean Marion
Talbot are the subjects of strenuous pro-
test among the 200 "co-eds'' of the Uni
versity of Chicago, who board at the wom-
ans hall. The young women say that
instead OF being served with those foods
; which strengthen them for their social
and scholastic duties, they are being sci
entiically starved to death and many OF
them are ready to rise in revolt.
One OF the most common dishes is hash
Because this contains remnants from nu-
merous preceding meals, the young women
have applied to the hash the title "re-
view Of reviews" Come back is a
| name given to salads. One OF the most
common substances served as desert Is a
pudding made from gelatin. This dish
the 'co-eds" now regularly call 'istnglass
pudding. =
Lack Of variety and the requirements
on the part Of the professor Of cooking
that nothing be wasted are the main OBJ
jects raised by the young women against
the scientific system being practiced at
the university. Prunes, apricots and
gelatin buildings, though they compose by
far the greater variety Of desert served,
can be left uneaten, say the young wom-
! en-, because desserts are not really neces-
sary to life, but the hash and stews have
to be taken.

MAY BE EXPELLED
Intense Feeling Among Senators
a.. Against Tiliman.

Washington, Feb, 24.-Careful inquiry
among senators indicates there is a strong
probability that before the incident is
settled one or both Of the senator's from
South Carolina will be expelled. The feel
ing against Tillman is intense. Repub-
licans and democrats alike say they regard
him as a disgrace to his state and a dis
grace to the senate.
Republican senators admit that Nc
Laurin was wrong in passing the lie on
the floor Of the senate, and but for that he
wohld not be included in the present con-
| tempt proceeding. 1t is considered doubt
| full, should Tillman not be expelled,
whether the committee will report in
favor Of restoring his privileges as SEN
ator before the end Of the session. The
belief is that in the end Senator Tillman
will be expelled.
In the encounter Saturday afternoon Mr..
McLaurin gave Tillman a bloody nose.
Both men apologized to the senate. each
claiming that he had merely acted in de-
tense Of his honor. Both were adiudged in
contempt and their case was referred to
the committee on privileges and elections.
While they are in contempt they may con-
tinue to occupy their seats, but will not
be allowed to speak.
