APPALLING LOSS OF LIFE.

who is in Chicago on sick leave.
Should Mont Pelee blow it's head
off the loss of life consequent upon the
production of great tidal wave would
be appalling With Pelee as center
a chain of islands extends northwest
ward. embracing population of some
100000 persons. Almost without ex-
ception the cities and villages are sit.
uated along the coasts and but slightly
elevated above the sea. A tidal wave
forty feet high would probably destroy
a half million lives before it dashed
against the shores of Porto Rico. with
its million inhabitants.
There is also apparently grave dan.
ger that other long extinct volcanoes
may break out. The great Soufriere of
Guadeionpe has been active for cen.
turies, discharging vast column OF
sulphur-charged steam from the old
summit crater. This may have acted
as d sort OF safety valve, but il. as re-
ports seem to indicate, the seismic
forces are increasing in intensity this
volcano and others along the line of
seismic weakness marked by the ISL

TELEGRAPH1c MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, Sept. G.-Without any
apparent support from cables and indi-
cations of more favorable weather the
opening was a shade easier after Which
time offerings became excessive and
gave shorts more confidence in their

this pressure for several days but may
recede temporarily and permit shorts

were but $50 cars against 80 here and
