 motive Firemen's Convention.

Washington, Sept. 5.-smilingly bow ing in acknowledgement of the enthusi- astic and prolonged cheering of an as- semblage that fairly crowded the Bal timore and Ohio station here, President Roosevelt tonight began his southern tour, with Chattanooga, Tenn, as the objective point. The president was in the city exactly one hour and half, He appeared little disfgured as re- suit of the Pittsfeld accident, but ap- parently had quite recovered from the shock Secretary Hitchcock, COmman- der Cowles. the presidents brother-in- law, and Secretary Cortelyou rode in the carriage with him.
 To a number he described the acci- dent at Pittsfeld.

The president told the Pitts field story to the group in the car with feeling and emphasized it with gestures. He said he felt in normal condition again. The train was just two minutes late when it pulled out at 7:32.

CONSUL ANIME FEARS WORST
OTHER MORE VIOLENT VOL
 CANOES MAY SOON ERUPT.
Should Mont PeIee Blow Its Head on the Loss of Life by Tidal Wave Would be AppaIIing-PeoPIe of the Lesser Antilles in a Hard situaGIOn-says the Island of Martinique Seems Doomed.

Chicago, Sept. 5.-'I am seriously alarmed at the news of the renewed activity of the Martinique and St. Vim cent volcanoes" said Louis H. Ayma, United States consul at Gaudeloupe, who is in Chicago on sick leave.
 Should Mont Pelee blow it's head off the loss of life consequent upon the production of a great tidal wave would be appalling. With Pelee as center, chain of islands extends northwestward, embracing a population of some 75O,OOO persons.
 Almost without exception the cities and villages are situated along the coasts and but slightly above the sea. A tidal wave forty feet high would probably destroy half million lives be- fore it dashed against the shore of Por- to Rico with its million inhabitants.
 There is also apparently grave dan- ger that other long extinct volcanoes may break loose. The great Soufriere of Gaudeloupe has been for centuries discharging vast column of sulphur charged steam from the old summit crater. This may have acted as sort of safety valve, but if, as reports seem to indicate, the seismic forces are in- creasing in intensity this volcano and others along the line of seismic weak ness marked by the island chain may soon be rivalling Pelee.
 '"The people of those islands are in a. hard situation. Their communication with the outer world depends chiefly on single line of steamers which call at intervals of from ten days to three weeks at some of the islands when freight offers. The whole fleet of this line, to which the ill-fated Roraima be- longed, could not carry 5000 persons.
 While the great bulk of the popula- ton of these islands is made up of blacks and mulattos there are many thousand whites living there chiefly creoles but not a few Americans are established in, or visiting the islands on business.
 | ''The island of Martinique seems to be l doomed. It will not be possible to per suade it's people to remafn there if they can get away. Gaudeloupe where my consulate is situated, is in even worse predicament It is staggering under a l tremendous debt which it cannot pay l it's cane plantations are being abandon ed and it's business men retiring. Il lis the natural refuge of the fleeing peo- l pie of Martinique and will have there
 terrified and starving thousands throwr
 upon the already inadequate resources.
 What immediate measures we car
 take it would be difficult to say, but probably two or three of our war yes sells with scientific observers should bt
 promptly dispatched to the spot"

 R. G.

BRIGHTER OUTLOOK IN INDIA.
Splendid Rains Dtspei All Fears of
 Another Famine.

simla, Sept. 5.-At the great Durbar which opened to-day Lord Curzon, the viceroy, said that the last three weeks were the happiest he had spent in h. dia, as in consequence of the splendid rains all fear of another famine was over. The authors of the reports that he would resign after the coronation of the Dunbar were doing him unconscious injustice in assuming that he would take his hand from the plough before the end of the furrOw was in sight. Much of his work was still incomplete. He regarded it as the most sacred of trusts and it would be abnegation of duty to lay it down.
 It is estimated that the cost of the Dunbar will be $2,00000O.

Coal Shipments from Britain.

London, Sept. 5.-The anthracite coal shipments to the United States are the result of orders which have been conn., ing in for the last fortnight. There are probably 10000 to S0,oOo tons contracted for to be shipped immediately to New York, which demands 5000 tons daily. But the dealers regard the New York market as ephemereal.

FOR PUBLIC BATH HOUSES

 WILL BE ASKED.
Committee Unanimously tn Favor of Recomm ending she Passage of Alder
 man WaiIace's ResoIutfon-Large Number of Citizens Expressed Them- selves at Last Nights Public Hearing.


 selves at Last Nights Public Hearing.
 One of the most interesting public meetings held in the city hall for a long time was that of last night, which was called for the purpose of giving citizens chance to speak their minds on the important question of public bath houses. The special committee consist ing of Chairman O'Keefe and Aldermen Conway, Strong, Moran and Hine was there to take some action on the resolu- tion sent in to the aldermen by Alder man Wallace to the effect that the city establish one or more public bath houses. % &
 The committee acted on it in the only manner possible, considering the senti- ment that was expressed at the meet ing. and it voted to ask for an appro- priation of $20,000 for the purpose of es- tablishing baths in this city, and that the appropriation be chased under the account of sundries, this being done so that the board of aldermen could have the matter within it's grasp at all times in the future. The last time that the bath house matter was before the citi- zens of New Haven it passed the coun- cilmen and the aldermen, had the favor of all of the church clubs and missions, and then was lost because the common council let it get out of its reach. " | This committee was as strongly in favor of the bath house plan as the for mer one and it was unanimously voted to recommend the passage of the reso- | lution. z. | Room 10 and il was crowded last night with citizens in almost every walk | of life and there was not one against the plan. Everybody was heartily in 1 favor of MT. Wallace's resolution, and the reasons given were good and sound. 1 Some of those who spoke in favor of bath houses were Alderman Wallace, 1 Alderman Trueman,, ex-Alderman Don- ovan, Joseph Reilly, l.. l.. Scranton, Jo- seph Mulvey, William OBrien, Will liam Gay, Rev. Alexander F. Irvine and several others.
 ! Alderman Wallace told of the success that the bath house plan had met all through Europe, especially i'll Englano and Scotland. He said that the health of the cities in which the bath houses were located was great deal better than before the public baths were es. tablished, and he read from books prov ing this. MT. Wallace said that he ha6
 inspected baths at London, Glasgow Berlin, Liverpool and other places, ant
 also in New York, and suggested tha1 it be left to the committee to determine upon the number of baths, the location etc.
 Rev MT. Irvine, MT. Trueman ant MT. Donovan spoke very strongly il
 favor of the proposed move and showed
 what great benefits had been derived
 from the baths wherever they were To
 cated. Messrs. Reilly, Scranton ant
 Mulvey represented the Trades coun tcil. The meeting adjourned about 10:3
 o'clock.

Philadelphia, Sept. 5.-The Record to-
 morrow will print an interview on the
 coal strike with President Roosevelt,
 who passed through this city to-day on
 his way to Washington. The president
 is quoted as follows:
 T am grieved beyond measure at the
 difficulty in Pennsylvania and coal pro-
 ducing states over the wage and kin
 dred questions"
 "What remedy is at hand?" he was
 asked.
 There is a remedy" said the presi-
 dent.
 Do you mean that the government
 of the United States can interfere other
 than as law-preserving body?"
 "No," replied the president emphati-
 cally.
 What can be done?" was then asked.
 T would refer you to the men at the head of the republican party, who are
 in control of affairs in the state of Pennsylvania. I am sure that their conservative opinion of the difficulties rampant will ultimately result in an amicable settlement of this great ques- tion. Of course, politics do not enter into the mining problem, yet sincerely hope that the republican principles, which are framed alike for high and low, will level the problem to an equi- ty.'
 Wilkesbarre, Pa., Sept. 5.-T. L. Lew is, vice president of the United States Mine Workers, arrived here tonight from Virginia and had a conference with MT. Mitchell MT. Mitchell said MT. Lewis visit was with reference to the strike in Virginia. President Mitchell says 700 men are affected by the settlement of the strike in the Pocahontas region. About 10000 miners are still out in the Kanawha, New Riverland Fairmount districts. So far as the anthracite region is concerned, President Mitchell says there is no change in the situation. At the offices of the coal companies it is claimed that the number of applicants for work is isincreasing every day. BramWell, w. Va, sept. o'-Maiiy oL the miners who have been on strike in the Flat Top and Elkhorn coal fields appeared at the mines this morning ready for work, stating that they did not care to wait until Monday, the day agreed upon yesterday to begin. Prob
 ably 1000 men went to work to-day. A report has reached here from a reliable
 source that the strike on both the New and Kanawha rivers will be over by Monday, the basis of settlement being the same as that agreed on by Norfolk and Western miners at Keystone yes terday.
