Rouge or Basse-Point are safe at pres
ent Not that there is any INN ediate
danger, but believe that the action Of
Mont Pelee is too uncertain for US to
be assured that a future eruption may
not occur to windward.
1.-THE greater part of destruction
wrought by the Soufriere in ST. Vincent
was on the windward or eastern side
and Mont Pelee is in many respects a
twin sister to the st. Vincent volcano.
I gave the same advice without hesi-
tation at ST. Vincent, although the
Soufriere there was much quieter than
is Mont Pelee. I know we'll that caus-
ing people to move from all these VIII
lagos and habitations will produce great
Inconvenience, but the alternative is a.
risk of human life. When the mountain
is entirely cold. and the people are pro-
tected by a properly equipped expert
ment station, with devices to signal
danger, they may, with certain restric-
tons, return to the volcanic lands. No
city should ever again, however, be
built on the northeast end of the is
land.
II do not think that Fort de France is
In any danger from the volcano.
Most of the towns in the West In
dies are equally in danger from tidal
waves. 1t would take an explosion from
Mont Pelee of enormously greater di-
mensions than anything that has hap
pened as yet to make a wave which
would harm Fort de France. No evil
dence exists of augmenting violence in
| the eruptions hitherto which would lead
| to the supDosition that a Krakatoa ex-
| plOsion Is coming here. In comparison
Mont Pelee is rather a small volcano
| This is all can say about danger"

NY. TIMES MAKES A BREAK
Will Leave Newspaper Row and Move
Uptown

New York Aug. At is announced to-
day that the New York Times has ac-
quired the triangle bounded by Broadway,
West Forty-second street and Seventh ave
hue, and will at once begin the erection of
a large modern steel construction building.
that the building will be ready for occu-
pancy early in 1904.
In the nearly 81 years of its existence
the Times has occupied buildings in
Newspaper Row" facing City Hall park,
and the announcement that it is to be
moved to the up town district has caused
much comment. The first of these. in 1851.
at the northeast corner of Nassau and
Beekman streets. The third was the one
wherein the newspaper is now published.
Two buildings in succession have been
erected on the present site, the first in
1857 and the second in 1885,
The block on which the new building is
to stand is triangular in form. The plot
itself is a trapezoid, the dimensions being
143 feet ON Broadway, 5S4 feet on West
Forty-second street, 1866 on Seventh ave-
nue. and 20 feet on the north, facing Long
Acre square
In announcing the purpose OF abandon
ing it's present quarters, the Times says:
ITO many of the older New Workers. the
notion of a newspaper moving so far UT
town will seem singular. For years the
popular idea has been that the location
near the City Hall park, where 50 many
newspapers had their birth and where sc
many are now grouped, was essential. This
was true in the years gone by, and is still
true in great measure The next IL months
however. promise to make revolu
transit facilities which the underground
railway and the Pennsylvania tunnel pro

OvERRUN BY SNAKES.
Rattlesnakes in Northwestern Ohio
in Vast Numbers.

Toledo, O., Aug. 4.-The farmers Of
northwestern Ohio and that portion Of
Michigan Immediately contiguous are
asking themselves and each other this
summer, Where do all the rattlesnakes
come from this year," Not for a quar-
ter OF q century have they been so
numerous as this season. In some por-
lions of Putnam and Henry counties
they have been menace to the lives Of
harvest hands, and in one instance, that
of Harvey Dennison, near Holgate, a.
bite from an ugly old RATHER the man
ran into while attempting to move an
old rotten stump from the path of a
reaping machine nearly caused death.
Had it not been for the prompt OF
whisky in copious quantities and out
ward applications, it is doubtful II the
man would have recovered. AS 1t was,
he was not able to do dlRy work for
a week after he was bitten.
During stump pulling and burning
bee near Kalida this week several nests
of the reptiles were stirred up and a
dozen or more, some OF them with eight
or ten rattles each, were killed.
But one of the closest calls reported
from this part OF the state was that Of
