Daring Scientists Stood on Very Edge
of the Crater.


of the Crater.
Fort de France, June 4. - George
Kennan, accompanied by Messrs. Jac-
caci and Varian, arrived here yester-
day morning after an absence of IL
days. Prof. Angelo Heilprin, presi-
lent of the Philadelphia Geographical
Society, and Mr.. Leddbetter reached
Fort de France this morning.
Professor Heilprin, Mr.. Kennan and
Mr.. Varian have ascended Mont Pelee.
They stood on the very edge of the
crater, and looked down on the incan-
descent mass within. This ascent was
made last Sunday, and it was the Sec
ond time Professor Heilprin climbed
the mountain.
In an interview Mr.. Kennan said:
Give of us started for the crater of
the volcano last Sunday, and three of
US reached our objective. We crossed
Lake Palmiste, which is now dry and
full of boulders and huge, ragged rocks
of trachyte, rhyolite and andesite. We
then climbed on up and reached the
edge of the crater. We found it to be
a huge chasm or creyasse, with per
pendicular walls. We could see down
into the crater more than $50 feet; ii
was like looking into white hot fur.

st. Pierre, but the enormous columns
of steam cut off the view in that di
rection. There were hundreds OF
fumaroIes all about us. What was
thought to be cone of cinders in the
crater was learned in reality to be a
huge pile of gigantic rocks, piled up
one on the other. There were crusts
of sulphur everywhere, but we saw nc
ashes or cinders in or near the crater
The whole, vast bed of the old crater

steam through thousands of crevices
Mont Pelee is quiet, but great vol
umes of steam are issuing from the
volcano. The lower mud craters, how

PEACE TREATY SIGNED
War In South Africa Ended After
Nearly Three Years, Eiohfina.

Nearly inree Years ft9nrln9.
London, June Peace has been de-
clared after nearly two years and eight
months of u war which tried the Brit
ish empire to it's utmost and wiped the
Beers from the list of nations.
The war has come to an end with
Lord Kitchener's announcement from
Pretoria that he, Lord Miner and the
Boer delegates had signed terms of
surrender" This announcement had
been anticipated for several days, and
it was definitely forecasted IN these dis
patches, but it's receipt yesterday after
noon took the nation by surprise, as
everybody had confidently believed
that the house of commons would hear
the first news today. The edge of the
anticipation with which Great Britain
awaited the promised statement in the
house of commons from Mr.. Balfour,
the government leader, was still fur
ther dulled by the following message
from King Edward to his people, winch
was issued after midnight:
'The king has received the welcome
news or the cessation or hostllltles III
South Africa with infinite satisfaction,
and his majesty trusts that peace may
speedily be followed by the restoration
of prosperity in his new dominions, and
that the feelings necessarily engender-
ed by war will give place to earnest
cooperation on the part OF his majs-
tvs South African subjects in promot-
ing the welfare of their common coun-
try"
At about one o'clock yesterday after
noon the war Office received the fol-
lowing despatch from Lord Kitchener
dated Pretoria, Saturday, May 81, Ills
P. M: "a document concerning terms
of surrender was signed here this even
ing at half-past 10 o'clock by all. the
the Boer representatives, as well as by
ord Milner and myself"

Russian Volcano Active,

Baku, Russia, June 5.-The Gusy-
gran, mud volcano situated near the
village of Kobi, Caucasia, has erupted.
The outburst was accompanied by can
non-like reports. The country around
the volcano, for some distance, was en-
veloped in flames, but with the excep-
ton OF the destruction of f1ocks of
sheep no fatalities have been reported.
A few shepherds were burned.

There is not citizen of this country with
two ideas in his skull whD is deceived by the
Administration pretense to crush the Beef
Trust, and by the same measure there isn't
a citizen who don't know that the remedy
for trusts lies in Congress and can be adj
ministered in twenty-four hours.
Take the tariff off meats and allow South
American and Australian meats free access
to our ports and meat would drop 25 per
cent in price within an hour, and seventy
five million people would be free from the
half dozen Pirates who now regulate meat
prices. Again, remove the 75c. per ton on
foreign coal, and we will have $500 coal as
soon as ships can reach our ports.
The remedy for the trust evil is nearer
home than Republican Politicians admit, its
in congress, not the courts; the remedy is
with the people when they elect Congress
men, not with the President when he
appoints an Attorney General.

President Baer Says Only Uncondi.
tlonal Surrender Will End Strik.
Scranton, Pa, June 5.-A representa-
tive of a local coal company, who re-
turned yesterday from a call on Presi-
dent Baer, of the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company, says
that Mr.. Baer told him there would
positively be no concessions or arbitra-
ton to settle the strike, and that the
conflict will only end by the uncondi-
tional surrender of the strikers.
Mr.. Baer further stated that the di-
rection of the strike for the Morgan in
terests had been left exclusively in his
hands, with instructions to win a
complete victory at any cost. He ac-
cepted the task, with the condition
that he was not to be hampered in any
way. He has no advisory board, execu-
tive committee or other body to share
with him the responsibility he has
shouldered, and receives advice and
suggestions only when he seeks them.

Euncoed Out of S31 900.

indianapolis, June 5.-The arrest of
Tyler Crothers, at Noblesville, devel-
ops the fact that Lucius Stout, a
wealthy farmer of Hamilton county,
was buncoed out of $31, 900 few days
ago. 1t appears that Crothers entered
running race, on which Stout won
few dollars, and the two agreed to
make fake race with a.man from
Springfield, Ill. Crothers said if he
would bet his money, on the Springfield
man he would allow the latter to win
the race and Stout the money. Stout
secured $4,000 by mortgaging his
farm. The race started all right, but
Crothers won it. Stout charges that
he is the victim of conspiracy.

The fact that the net profits of the Phil
adelphia Record are about 100000 per
annum should not lead the average reader
to think that all newspapers pay IN proper
tion. 1t has been said that more money
has been lost in this country in publishing
enterprises than through any other indus
trial channel

It is said that the 25-a-cent-a-bushel
tariff imposed on wheat imports benefits
the American farmer But does it? 1t
prevents Canadian wheat from coming into
this country, and the 5O,OOO,OOo serplus
bushels of Canada go to foreign mills in
stead of American ones, as would be the
natural course. Then the competition of
Canadian wheat with ours in foreign
markets controls and lowers the price of
ours there and demand of the foreign
markets control prices here because we are
large exDOrterS.

When ]. Pierpont Morgan gets control OF
all the steamship lines, then we will find
the trusts all in favor of low tariffs. Why?
Because with ability to control the ocean
freight, they can extend their combines o'er
land and sea, and control prices as surely as
their captains sail their craft. It's big
game for big stakes.
