A Refugee From Martinique.
(Dy the Associated Press.)

Norfolk, Va, May 16.-Edward Living
stone Mcdonald, of Devonshire, England
is one of the few survivors who escaped
the path of death that devastated the city
Of st. Pierre, by the eruption of Mont
Ielee. He passed through Norfolk today
on his way to his home, having come via
Fort De France. He is one of those
picked up by The French cruiser Suchet
lie escaped from the island just before
tho great outburst by jumping into a boat
in which a native had already taken
refuge. Speaking of his experience, he
said
Such a sight l do not care again to
see. The scene depicted the horrors of
hell 1t was about eight 0 clock IN the
morning when loud noise was heard in
the direction of Pelee. In a short while
the air fill I'd with sulphur fumes and
breathing was difficult. | ran for the
pier where the native was preparing to
escape We got the boat out together.
The eruption occurred and the air was
Dor hoiled and the top of Mont Pelee
looked like n huge ball of fire through the
darkness. No pen can picture the sight
and the imagination cannot be too vivid
in forming an idea of the horrible catas-
trnphe."
Mcdonald has papers to show he was
in Martinique and his singed hair and
burned body substantiates his state
ments.

tBy the Associated Press

Hazleton, Pa, May 1.-THE anthracite
mine workers today in order to win their
strike decided unanimously upon plan
that if carried into successful operatio 4,
would practically tie up the industries
of the country, paralyze business and in
convenience the people throughout the
United States. 1t is their desire that a
special national convention of the Uni
ted Mine Workers may be called as soon
as practicable for the purpose CT en-
deavoring to have all the bituminous mine
workers, both organized and morgan
lied. involved in the anthracite miners
struggle. This announcement was offic
tally made at noon today by President
John Mitchell in statement giving the
result of the deliberations of the dele
gates in convention. This statement is
as follows:
AT this mornings session the conven
tion petitionel the national officers to
issue a call for national convention OF
all miners employed in the United States
for tho purpose of considering The sit
uation in the anthracite field. If the de-
sire of the anthracite miners is carried
into effect a national suspension of coal
mining will be inaugurated. All ques
tions of detail as to the direction OF the
strike in the anthracite field were re-
ferred To the district and national Off
GERS Definite plans will be outlined
within the next few days. For the
present the engineers, firemen and pump
runners will continue at work. All mine
workers were advised to remain at their
homes. abstain from frequenting saloons
and under all circumstances observe the
law
If special national convention is
called and the miners succeed in their
object it would directly affect $4,000
men. who are employed in and about
the coal mines of the country. Coal
would soon become scarce and :his
would ultimately result in tho tying up
of railroads and all sorts OF industries
that use large quantities of the fuel
1t is doubted by some persons here
that a stupendous movement could be
brought about for the reason that the
business interests of the country would
not stand idly by and permit such a
plan be pat in effect
The striking miners are enthusiastic
over the conventions action and most
of them can sec only success in the prop
os;tion-
An absolutely trustworthy source is
authority for The statement that the
special convention will be called prob
ably at indianapolis in course of several
weeks.
National SecretaryTreasu w. -
Wilson. of Indianapolis. says that with
in the next two or three weeks. regard
less of the special convention, $4,000 men
in Virginia and West Virginia and from
IL coo to 10000 in the soft coal re@ion OF
central Pennsylvania will strike for the
purpose of forcing the mine owners to
give them higher wages and incidentally
to help the anthracite workers.

WAR CT AIM STILL ON
Resolution by Delegates Seek
ing Compromise.
Major StahIman Before the Committee on Pub
lirhirg House lntert SITS. Rumor Of
Sensational Charge.
(By the Associated Press

Dallas, Texas, May 16-The parliament
tary tangle over the war claim, which
has enveloped the conference OF the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, since the
opening day, was only deepened by to-
days session. Bishop Morrison, of Ken
tcuiy, presided.
A resolution, introduced by d lie "ates
from Virginia, held that as the Senate
Of the United States had allowed the
claim as a great charity the fund be
used for the support of superannuated
preachers, widows, etc, and that no por-
ton of the amount beyond $4,000, the
amount intended by Congress, shall be
raid any attorney as a fee for pro-
curing or assisting in procuring the
passage of the claim. This means that
the conference will be called upon to
raise $108,000 less $1,000, which amount
was paid Major Stahlman. This is con
sidered a mastery move on the part of
the faction seeking a compromise The
resolution was referred.
The Committee on Church extension
reported that there had been an increase
of the fund from $55,247 in 1898 to $72,
1896 in 1902 that the donations eX-
ceeded by ,304 those of any previous
period there were 1906 congregations
still unhoused and 500, 500 had been asked
for congregations only one third of
which was given.
The church has suffered loss of S75,-
COO on property uninsured during the
year. The resolution was passed that a
board of eleven be appointed by the Gen
eral Conference, members of which shall
live in or near Louisville to serve four
years and formulate plans of insurance.
DR.. Tibert gave notice that tomorrow
will be the last day upon which new
business may be introduced.
The question of the boards of finance
was given general discussion. Continuity
in office was the point as well as the APP
pointment of one clerical member and
one laymen from each district. An amend
ment of Mr.. Puch, of Washington, eX-
tended the time from one to four years.
Major Stahlman, of Nashville, Tenn,
appeared before the Committee on Pub
fishing House interests last night and
made an extended talk. 1t is claimed

Lively Debate in the House.
(Py the Associated Press.)

Washington, May 16.-'The House had
another lively day of debate today,
Philippine atrocities and the Schley case
coming in for considerable attention.
Mr. Cannon. Qlls) }. and Mr.. Hepburn,
UoWa). brought on the discussion by
criticsing the extent to which naval Of
f;cers secured comfortable berths ashore.
This gave Mr. Williams, (NTiss), oppor-
tunity to make a very sarcastic speech
at the expense Of Admiral CrowninShield.
during which he read poem describing
the late head of the Bureau of Naviga-
ton as "the greatest tar that ever stay
ed ashore"
Mr. Williams referred to the Sampson
Schiey controversy, saying that what
ever the official conclusion might be, the
American people had come to the con-
clusion that Admiral Schley had had
something to do with the battle of san
tiago. And yet Historian Maclay had
written history and submitted it to the
great naval authority, Crowninshield. de-
claring that Schley had nothing, to do
with the victory. He commented on the
fact that the Committee on Rules had
buried a resolution designed to iDVesti
gate the charge that Admiral Crownin-
shield had passed on the Maclay his
tory.
Mr. Grosvenor, (Ohio) said the Maclay
and CrowninShield resolution had not
been reported as it would have been
mere sound and fury" after Admiral
Schleys request for a court Of inquiry
had been complied with. and the subject
had been exhaustiVely considered by a
naval court and then reviewed by the
President.
Mr.. Foss, in charge of the naval bill,
read a dispatch from the Navy Depart
ment, saying that the third volume of
the Maclay history. dealing with the
Santiago battle, was never in use at
the Naval Academy. and that there was
no purpose to use it.
Rising to a question of personal priv
ilege. Mr.. Sims, (Tenn), resented a re-
mark by Mr.. Jenkins, (Wis.), during
the debate on the local gas company's
consolidation bill several days ago, that
he (Sims) was only consistent when he
votes for the Methodist church to rob
the Treasury" Mr.. Sims reviewed the
legislation for the Methodist book con-
Germ, South, and Indignantly repudiat-
ed the suggestion that the claim was un-
worthy.

Sued For the Cow.

The construction of contract for the
sale of a COW formed the basis for an
amusing trial in the court of Justice
of the Peace Yearly yesterday.
An old negro, Ruffin Hodge, sold a COW
to Mr. \. f. Maroon for $50. Terms:
$1,000 down, $1,000 each thirty days. or
all in ninety days. The first payment
was made ON March 9th and Mr.. Maroon,
knowing that he had till June 9Th, made
no further payments. Hodge thought
the cash oughth to come in faster and
brought suit to recover his COW. He was
astonished when the cow was left with
Mr. Maroon and he was taxed with the
costs, but that was the result when the
contract was put in evidence.
