widow came into easy possession of
them at his death.
She handled the bonds with great
dexterity and 1t was only by an acci-
dent that her husbands ownership of
them came to light. Her counsel,
Judge Porche, died, and among his eff
fects was found a list of the securi-
ties Dauphin had owned in his life
time and that ought to have been list
ed among his effects. The bonds were
traced, after more than a year of
strenuous effort, into the possession of
Mrs. Dauphin. A civil suit to secure
possession of the property and the in
dictment for perjury followed.
1t is no new thing Oberlin Carter
thought he had successfully hidden
the evidence of his conspiracy from
the government, but the accidental
find of list, showing a division Of
the spoils, brought his crime to light.
Sad is the situation of the criminal.
When he springs from an atmosphere
of decency and responsibility his own
sense of guilt is usually sufficient to
proclaim his crime and under other
conditions other circumstances give
him away. Few indeed succeed in es-
Gaping the hand of the law.

A conference of Republican senators
with the President is to be held on
Tuesday, at which they are expected
to tell him what the country thinks
of his recent utterances on the sub
ject of the trusts. Unless the trust
of intellect they have never exhibited
in the past, Mr.. Roosevelt will not
discover that they are seriously alarm
ed. When it is proposed to deal with
the trusts through the medium of
constitutional amendment they may at
least be assured of plenty of time to
arrange their affairs.

TANAQUA, Pa, May 2s-Led by a
drummer and a bugler, several hundred
striking miners marched on the Smith
Meyers Washery to-day. A sentry
posted in a tree fired his gun as warn
ing to the men at the washery that the
strikers were approaching. Operations
were ut once discontinued.
When the strikers were within fifty
yards Of The operation they wers met
by Charels Meyers, one OF the operators.
Mr.. Meyers appealed to them not to
damage any property or to injure any
of the men. He said that he would
pledge his worG that not a pound of
coal would be washed until the strike
had been settled. The marchers then
appointed a committee to meet he en-
ployes, and the latter promised not to
work until an order to do so is issued
by the United Mine Workers officials.
After the men had agreed to do this
the marchers returned to town.

The recent rains of ashes and volcanic

caused so much CONSERVATION among
the Inhabitants Of Fort de France that
those who have not left the city are anx-
ious to do so, and large numbers are
emigrating to the island Of Guadaloupe
where it IS now estimated loo people
from Martinique have already sought
shelter.
During her last exploring trip about
fine island the French cruiser. which did
not stop at St. Pierre, noticed that all
the formerly cultivated land between
Grande Riviere and Mlrigot has Deem
completely destroyed The Inhabitants OF
those two towns have suffered, and are
still suffering, a great deal. but .neS

localities, and efforts are being made to

The Suchet also reports that as she ap-
preached that part Of the island where.
the land was in better state Of preser-
walton, especially between Macoutsa aid
Lorraine. a shower OF stones and sulphur
caused those of the population of Morne
Rouge who had remained there to hastily
evacuate that place.
For some time apprehension was felt
regarding the safety OF the detachment
of French troops quartered at LIE Carbet,
but there has beeno loss Of life among
them, according to the most recent re-

It is estimated that about 5000 persons
