REACHED PELEE'S CRATER
Professor Heilprin Looked Down In
to the Vast Chasm.
Ec Found a Cinder Como in the Centre Of
the Pit-Showers of NJ ud Fell Upon
Him-His Observations.

Fort de France, Island Of Martin
ique.-Professor Angelo Heilprin, with
three guides, has ascended to the top
of the crater on the summit Of Mont
Pelee. He went to the plantation
Nive, which is near the crater. in COM
pany with Ferdinand Clerc and Mr..
Reid. landed proprietors of Martinique.
The expedition left Fort de France
on Thursday ut noon. Friday was
spent in studying the newly formed
craters on the north flank of the noun
tain. Saturday morning Professor
Heilprn determined TO attempt the
ascent TO the top of the crater, and
with this purpose in view he set out
at o'clock. The volcano was very
active. but amid thousand dangers
Professor Heilprin reached the summit
aid looked down into the huge crater.
Here he spent some time in taking
careful observations.
He saw Il huge cinder cone in the
centre of the crater. The opening of
the crater itself is vast crevice 500
feet long and 100 feet wide. While
Professor Heilprin was on the summit
of the volcano several explosions of
steam and cinder-laden vapor took
place, and again and again his life
was in danger. Ashes fell about him
IL Such quantities ut times as TO COM
plctely obscure his vision. One par
ticularly violent explosion of mud COW
cred Professor Heilprin from head to
foot with the hidcous viscid and semi
solid matter thrown out.
Professor Heilprin still persiste>' in
his study and observations, however.
and twice more he was showcred with
mud. He learned. as had been sus-
pectcG, that there were three separate
vents through which steam issued.
Professor Heilprin made the impor-
ant discovery that the crater at the
head of the River Fallaise has syn
chronouS eruptionS with the crater mt
the summit of the volcano. and that it
elects precisely the same matter at
such times. The River Fallaise crater
ana the crater Mt the summit showed
during Professor Heilprin's visit new
phenomenon. Mud was thrown up in
nigh columns. Heretofore the mud
has dubbed or boiled out and flowed
downward in huge streams. In the
course of one eruption of the River
FallalSe crater an enormous mass of
intensely hot mud was elected. This
flow reached the rum distillery on the
Nive plantation and eXtinguished all
the fires there. This torrent OF mud
may invade the entire plantation. and
as Nive is the centre of one of the rich
est districts of the island, it is feared
the damage there may be great
Professor Heilprin arrived ut the
edge of the summit crater mt 1.30 and
remained there over two hours When
he returned to Vive he resemblcd a
statue of mud. The weight of ashes
and mud he carried on his person. the
horrible atmosphere he had breathed
and the fearful difficulties he en-
countered reduced Professor Heilprin
to condition of extreme fatigue.

an important statement which mega
tives all the peace rumors that have
been flying around the country for the
last few days He said:
The prospects of a settlement of the
strike are not near. 1 must confess
that so far as'I know, all negotiations
looking to peace are off. and have no
knowledge of any further steps by the
National Civic Federation or any one
else
Every effort has been made by Sheriff
Jacobs, President Mitchell and the op-
orators To prevent further violence. The
Sheriff called on Mr.. Mitchell and
asked him to order the strikers to re-
main away from the collieries, prevent
Inc collection of women and boys and
abstain from any kind of demonstra-
uon. Mr.. Mitchell assured him that
this should be done. and the operators.
whom he also saw said they would do
what they could to prevent their spe-
cal officers from causing any trouble.
