Pittsf;eld Citizens Greatly Regret Ac
cident to the President.
Pittsfield, Mass, Sept. 6.-With the
excitement which followed the acct
dent to President Roosevelt in this
city in a great measure abated the
citizens yesterday were discussing the
question of responsibility for the &C.
currence which on all sides is consid-
cred as having married the city's fame,
in that street car in disputing the
right Of way with the President of the
United States at least was extremely
discourteous. That the attempt to do
this resulted in a fatality and in the
very narrow escape from death or in
jury of the president himself and the
governor of the commonwealth, are
considered as adding to the gravity of
the offense
At the House of Mercy it was stated
that the condition of D. j. Pratt, the
driver of the presidents carriage was
satisfactory.
Less interest than was generally ex-
pected was shown in the appearance
before the district court of Motorman
Madden and Conductor Kelly, who had
charge of the car that struck the pres
ldent's carriage. Not more than fifty
persons were present. The case was
not even called, and after q conference
between counsel for the street rail-
way men and the court, it was agreed
to postpone the matter for two weeks.

PANIC PREVAILS.

Paris, Sept. 6.-The government has
decided that the entire northern part
of the Island Of Martinique shall be
evacuated. M. Doumergue, the min
lister for the colonies, states that the
reconstruction of the island will de-
pend entirely on the subsistence of
the volcano.
A cable dispatch from the Island of
Guadalupe announces the arrival of
the French cruiser Suchet at Basse
Terre, capital of Guadalupe, and says
that she reports that calm has been
completely restored in Martinique.

eruption of Mont Pelee on Sept. was
not remarkable, but there was ter

now here, confirming the report, said
that the vessel ran into dense clouds
of dust when twenty miles southwest
of st. Vincent at o'clock in the morn

prevailed soon afterward, and he
changed his course to due west in
order to avoid the ashes which were
falling thick. The first officer could
not see the captain two feet away, and
only knew him by his voice. } They
did not see the sun until about 10 a. m.
the same day.
The steamer Yare further reports
that several NOR valuable plantations
were destroyed at the time of the re-

is general.

At the first outbreak Of the volcano

majority seeking safety in the boats

apprehension prevails. The unfortu-

of tension that is pitiable. The panic
is renewed at each successive rum
