DISPATCHES from Martinique give
thrilling descriptions of panic which
took place on parts of the island yes
terday from approximations of another
volcanic outburst. The UDited States
cruiser Cincinnati took the Americans
who were fleeing for their lives aboard
but refused TO allow a native of Porto
Rico on the vessel. The captain seems
to have given no reason for his action,
although the Porto Rcan claimed the
protection of the United States as any
other subject has right to do when in
a foreign country. Governments are
established for the common good and
for the protection of all over whom the
flag floats, and why some people be"
longing TO the United States were
rescued and the Porto Rcan left to bis
fate should be explained by the captain
OF the ship.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAY 81, 1902

The democrats OF the House by
standing together on Monday agsin de-
feat ID the republicans who opposed the
construction of ships in the govern
ment navy yards. They took the
ground that as the government owned
the navy yards aud paid out annually
large sums of money to maintain them,
the work of building at least some OF
{ 10 vessels should be done IN these
yards. This may or may not be 90,
but it will be found thst when the Dill
reaches the Senate that body will knock
out the House amendment providing
for the building of vessels BY the gcv-
ernmept and that the construction Of
chips for the navy will be continued 10
the hands OF the rich ship building
companies which for some time past
have divided the contracts among
themselves. These companies have
their agents on the floors of Congress
every day to "prOtect their interests"
and see that nothing gets away from
them, and although their yards are full
of work now they are endeavoring to
have ship subsidy bill passed where
by to enrich their pockets all the peo-
ME OF the country would be taxed.

IT WAS stated in the Gszstte's Wash
ioeton correspondence yesterday that
President Goode, OF the State constitu-
,ional convention had said ne would
favor the preseLt method OF the cleo
ton and hold.over OF State Senators.
l. is to be sincerely hoped that ma
iority OF the convention will agree with
Judge Goode and change the draft OF
the new constl.Ut on in this respect at
least. Since the entrance OF Virginia
into the union. the Senate has been the
balsncs wheel Of the Legislature and
the conservative element in that body
has on several occasions saved the
Stit from great harm. Had it not
been for the bold-over Senators during
the Malone regime there is no telling
what additional injury might have been
iOhicted upon the State and what has
happened once may happen again. The
election OF one hslfthe Senate at time
has worked excelleDtly we'll from tho be-

Can Communicate Under ti,e
 Surface of the Sea.
FRENCH IMvENTlON
Claimed By the Inventor That lie Can Communicate Between Ship, From Shore to Shore and Over the Mountains.

New York, March 4.-Dncretet. q French electrician. has an invention for telephoning without wires which has been submitted to the Academy of Sci ence and acknowledged to be of great value.
 The transnitter and receiver arc much like those of the ordinary tele- phone. It is different to the eXtept that small voil is introduced and electrical intensity is slightly increased. When the instruments are put down deep in the earth messages can be transmitted at enormous distances. Forests, rivers and mountains may sep arate armies. yet they can communicate with each other through the earth by wireless telephony.
 Wireless telepht ne messages can be transmitted through the sea from shore 10 shore, or between ships. The voice is transmitted without he least dil!i- cully and the most delicate arliculations reach the ear.
