ONE OF MIR. MORGAN's DEALS.

He Furnishes His Southern Lines
With Fine Entry to Chicago.
New York, May 14.r-The Times to-
morrow will say:
This purchase of the Monon means
that hereafter the Southern and the
have and absolutely control an indie
pendent entrance into Chicago. Such a
disposition of the "Monon" was the
only logical outcome of the situation
brought about by the holding of the
control of all the three lines involved
by j. P. Morgan & Co.. and it will not
be a surprise to those who have
followed closely the developments in
the territory traversed by the two
great Southern railway systems, the
Louisville and Nashville and the
Southern Railway. The affairs of
these roads have been prominently in
the public eye since the events of last
month, when the control of the Louis
vile and Nashville was lodged in the
hands of ]. P. Morgan & Co., mainly,
it was said, through the efforts of
John W. Gates.
President McDoel Of the Chicago,
Indianapolis and Louisville, while de-
nying two weeks ago that the road
had been sold. admitted that such a
purchase would be a logical one for the
two Southern systems, which, he said
would some day have to get into Chi
cago without depending on their con-
nections. This has now been accom-
plished.
The Chicago, Indianapolis and Lou
isviile control a line of road from
Louisville to Chicago with good ter
nlinal facilities in both cities.

Cathedral, College and Convent De-

Castries, st. Lucia, May 1.-THE sig
nal station here reports that a large
fire was seen last night in the direc-
ton of Fort de France, Martinique.
The British steamer Savan, Capt.
Hunter, arrived here this morning and
reports Mont Pelee to be still in erup-
ton. The trend of the flow from the
volcano is to the north.
The search parties which are remov-
ing the dead from St. Pierre have dis
covered safes and molten precious
metal in stores and dwelling of the
town. No one is permitted to pene-
trate into st. Pierre beyond the street
running along the sea front, and a
Gordon of soldiers have been placed
around the town. The st. Pierre Ca
thedral is all down with the exception
of one tower, and of the theater the
walls alone are now standing. The
convent, which contained 200 girls and
thirty-six nuns, has disappeared, as
has the college, where seventy boys
and twenty-five priests and professors
were domiciled.
Many thrilling and hair breadth es-
capes from the eruption of Mont Pc
lee are reported.

Castries, Island of st. Lucia, Tues
day, May 13.-The correspondent of the
Associated Press here has visited St.
Pierre Martinique. by the relieving
steamer Kenneth. The destruction
there is appalling. The streets are two
feet deep in ashes and cinders, which
cover thousands of dead bodies,
scorched black and shiny as if they
had been plunged into boiling pitch.
Many of the dead were never touched
by the volcanic fire and some of the
houses and woodwork destroyed show
no signs of burning.
At Moudlage, in the southwestern
portion of st. Pierre, the town hall is
still standing as high as the first story,
while at the fort, in the northwestern
part of ST. Pierre, the most massive
stonework is calcined.
The church tower, built by the
Jesuits two centuries ago of cyclopean
mason work, is now like a huge heap
of old metal.
Soldiers are guarding property from
proving ghouls. who are robbing the
dead. They meet with severe punish
ment when caught.
The stencil throughout st. Pierre is
terribly offensive. The streets are still
obstructed by huge piles of debris and
dead bodies. The work of clearing
the thoroughfares will necessitate the
employment of large numbers of men
for many months.
Moudlage. Rouge, near st. Pierre, is
preserved and Basse Pointe and Ma
~couba are vet unhurt, but the Greater
is still active and smoke and ashes are
blowing steadily northward.
The surviving inhabitants are try
ing to cross from St.Pierre to the island
of Dominica in boats. Many drown
ing casualties are reported.
Assistance is constantly arriving at
Fort de France from all the neighbor-
ing islands.

A TRUST AGENT TESTIFIES.

His irm Gets Commission From
Planters No Matter to Whom They
Sell.
Washington. May 14.-Emanuel Ri
onda, raw sugar buyer, was again be-
fore the Senate Committee on Rela-
tons with Cuba to-day He said his
firm had contracts with many Cuban
plantations for their sugar and had
advanced money to planters. If the
planters sold to anyone else the firm
would get a commission. The bill
passed by the House would wipe out
the countervailing duty he said, and
would tend to stop sugar refining in
this country. Germany would be the
sugar producer of the world and Cuba.
Porto Rico and Hawaiian sugar would
be injured.
Howard G. Leavitt, president of the
Standard Beet Sugar Company OF
Leavitt, Neb., said the refners re-
ceived all the benefit of the counter
vailing duty and would receive all the
benefit of concessions to Cuba. He
thought the effect of the action of the
Brussels conference would be to re-
store normal conditions in sugar pro-
ducing which would benefit Cuba,
England would begin to refine again
and make market for Cuban sugar.

Proctor of Vermont Says These Are
No Good in Time of War.

Washington, May 14-During the
greater part of the Senate session to-
day the Notifications appropriation bill
was under consideration. Mr.. Proctor
of Vermont offered an amendment
providing that no part of the appro-
priation made should be used for pro-
curing disappearing gun carriages. The
amendment precipitated a debate.
which continued for two hours and
had not been concluded when the
measure was laid aside for the day
Mr.. Proctor led the fight against the
disappearing carriages, declaring that
they never would be effective and that
in actual war it would be shown they
were a lamentable failure. Mr.. Per-
kins of California warmly defended the
War Department in adopting the dis
appearing carriages, declaring that the
bulk of the evidence on the subject was
in support of the carriages.
For some time the Senate had under
consideration the bill providing for the
construction of a union railway station
in Washington. A vote upon the meas
ure will be taken tomorrow.

under date of Tuesday. May Is, as
follows:
Il arrived here yesterday and found
the state of affairs much worse than
had been stated. The administrators
reports show that the country on the
east coast. between Robin Rock and
Georgetown, was apparently struck
and devastated in a manner similar to
s that which destroyed st. Pierre, and
I fear that practically all living things
within that radius were killed. Prob
ably 1000 persons lost their lives.
The exact number will new
er be known. Managers and owners of
the estates. with their families. and
several of the better class of people
have been killed. A thousand bodies
have been found and buried. One hun
dred and sixty persons are in the hos
pital at Georgetown. Probably only
six of this number will recover.
The details of the disaster are too
narrowing for description.
Il got at ST Lucia, a coasting steamr
er, which is running up and down the
leeward coast, with water and pro-
visions. Twenty-Five hundred persons
have received relief.
L have asked for medical officers
from Trinidad and Grenada. All the
neighboring British colonies are
assisting generously. Every effors is
being made to grapple with the
awful calamity.
"All the best sugar estates in the
Carib country are devastated and the
cattle are dead.
THE eruption continues, but is APP
parently moderating.
Anxiety is still felt. All the officers
and residents are cooperating with

CHURCH UPHELD MARRIAGE.
Day, but the Marriage Is Held Sa-
cred by Priests.

Chicago, May 14.--It was announced
to-day that the ecclesiastical divorce
which Arthur c. Gaukler, Detroit
lawyer, asked for from the Chicago
young woman, who was formerly Miss
Marian Loomis, has been refused The
case has been appealed. Gaukler was
Roman Catholic and Miss Loomis
embraced that faith before her mar
riage On their wedding day, Gaukler
alleges, his wife left him because she
said she had discovered that he was
a hunchback. Gaukler secured divorce
in the civil courts. Later, wishing TO
marry another woman he sought to
have the Catholic church annul the
marriage The case came before
trinity of priests in this city last fall.
Gaukler, among other things, alleged
that Miss LOOMS Catholicism was a
mere pretense affected for the purpose
of bringing about the marriage. He
said his wealth was her object.
The finding of the ecclesiastical court
is that the marriage was sacrament
and cannot therefore be broken by any
power on earth.
