TRADE REVIEW.
How the Business Situation Appear
to Leading Commercial
Agencies.

New York, Aug. 30.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says: "Grad-
ual resumption of anthracite coal min
ing is encouraging, although the out
put is not yet sufficient to have any
commercial value. Business conditions
are unsatisfactory at the strike cen
ter. but reports from all other sec
tions indicateunusually prompt revival
after the summer vacation season,
with exceptionally large operations
among dealers in the agricultural re-
gions. Notwithstanding some bad
weather, large crops are now practi-
cally assured, although the most san
guine results may not be attained.
Manufacturing plants are now fully
occupied as rule, the least gratifying
reports coming from furnaces that
cannot secure coke owing to railway
blockades. The transportation prob
lem is becoming serious, as the fac
tor of crop moving is about to be added
and, moreover, much coal must be
moved by rail that usually goes to
consumers by lake and canal. Fail

United States, against 2O2 last year
and IA in Canada, against 81 yea,

Bradstreet's says: august closes

height in the northern half of the
country and the total volume of the
months operations probably in excess
of any similar period in previous wears
Actively instrumental in bringing
about this result are the continued
good crop prospects"

ported to have lost their lives at lie
Carbet and Morne Rouge, many other

scene of destruction.

eruption since August 49, There was
an enormous fall of ashes from the
volcano the night of the 25th. There
was very severe eruption the night

France, and the terrified inha bitants
fed in large numbers to the interior.

slight damage.

was quiet; shortly after this hour
there came another shower of ashes,

Dalton, Mass, Sept. 8. - President
Roosevelt on Tuesday emphasized his
return visit to Massachusetts by deliv-
ering at Fitchburg another speech on
the trust question, in order that he
might fully answer his critics and to
more clearly define his attitude on
that subject.
The president favored trust legisla-
ton, and believed constitutional
amendment giving congress more pow.
er was likely to be adopted. He
warned his hearers against radical ac-
ton on combines which might endan.
ger the prosperity of the whole people.
he also launched into defense of
the army in the Philippines during his
speech at Springfield The impression
had gone forth that any views he
might express regarding the acquisi-
ton of territory by the United States
would be sure to be coldly received,
but the demonstrations of approval
which greeted his utterances dis
PEELED this idea.
Frequent stops again were made,
and at each place the president deliv-
cred speech. Fitchburg's reception
was notable for the size of the crowd
and enthusiasm which the people dis
played. While riding up the street
the president was given shower ba tn

brilliant lightning. The night was
very dark. Several tugs went out to
the assistance of the endangered
vessels, but nothing was visible from
the shore at Port Elizabeth, except
the continual flashes of rockets as
signals of distress. Daylight re-
vealed the beach at the north end
of Algoa bay strewn with vessels ly-
ing high and dry, while Others were

Mont Pelee.
1t Il Said That Fully 1000 People
Have Been Killed-Not n Survivor
IL Left Mt Morne Rouge
Other Towns Destroyed.

St. Thomas, d. WI, Sept. 3.-Steam-
ers from the island of Martinique re-
port an appalling loss of life as re-
suit of an eruption Of the Mont Pelee
volcano. The towns of Morne Rouge
and Ajoupa Bouillon on the east end
of the island We're completely de-
stroyed and at least 1000 people per-
ished. The destruction of Morne
Rouge was so complete that not a sin
gle human being was left to tell the
awful story. Ajoupa Bouillon is in
ruins, but the loss OF life at that place
was not as great as at Morne Rouge.
About 200 persons were killed at Ajou-
pa Bouillon and over 400 injured,
many of whom will die.
Warning Given.
Mont Pelee had been showing signs
of renewed activity for week, but
the subterranean rumblings and ex-
plosions occasioned no alarm, as the
people had become accustomed to
them. Early Saturday morning a sud-
den eruption occurred, which spread
terror throughout the island. A col
umn of fire shot up from the crater of
the volcano about daybrealS, which
lighted the heavens for hundreds of
miles. A few minutes later this was
followed by an explosion, which sent
forth gigantic stream of scalding wa
ter and mud. Morne Rouge was over
whelmed in an instant and every soul
in the place persisted. Ajoupa Bouillon
was struck by the river of mud and
flying volcano stones and not build
ing was left standing.
A Tidal Wave.
The sea became terribly agitated
when the eruption occurred and a
short time afterward a tidal wave
swept the whole coast. lie Carbet, a
village near the base of Mont Pelee,
was flooded and many of the inhab-
itants drowned. After the explosion
more than a mile of the east end Of
the island sank into the sea.
The inhabitants of Martinique are
panic-stricken and clamoring to leave
the island. They believe that the
whole island is doomed to destruction,
and they are appealing to the governor
to furnish them transportation to adj
jacent islands.

CATTLE DYING.
Lack of Food and Water Bad for
Live Stock Industry In
Oregon.

Burns, Ore, Sept. There has
never been a time in the history of the
stock industry in Harvey county when
stock has suffered so much for feed
and water as during the present sum-
mer. The hot weather in the last
six months has dried the grass in the
hills, and the springs and small creeks
have been fenced up, causing the stock
to travel long distance for water and
return to range. which is causing q
great falling of in flesh. In several
places cattle are dying for want Of
feed and water.
