AS the result of the high price Of
coal, due to the recent strike, the
attention Of the public has been turned
to oil as a fuel. A great many oil
burners have been fitted in private
houses, and are apparently giving
satisfaction. If adopted to any great
extent the coal operators will not be
able to maintain the monopoly
against which there has been so much
complaint in the past. Then a dis
pute betW cen the operators and labor
viii not find the general public suef
helpless victims.

evening two cable messages from the secretary general of the government of Martinique, J. F. G. Ihurre, sent, re- spectively, at D. m. and 10:30 p. m. yesterday. The earlier cable reported that the wires were broken between Fort de France and St. Pierre, but, it was added, in view of reports that the eruption of Mont Pelee had wiped out the town of St. Pierre, all the boats available at Fort de France were dis patched to the assistance of the inhab- itants at that place.
 The second dispatch confirmed the re- ports of the destruction of St. Pierre and its envrons and shipping by rain of fire, and said it was supposed that the whole population had been annihi- lated, with the exception of few in- jured persons rescued by the cruiser Suchet.
 Immediately after the receipt of the above dispatches the flag over the colo nial office was trapped with crape and hoisted at half-mast,

I resigned entirely of my own accord, following out rurncse that I had for many months; the same purpose I had expressed to President Mckinley; but intended to remain un- til any or all charges were disposed of. My resignation was unconditional and did not hang on any future appoint- ment
