DESIRES 70 SEE AMERICA.

Kaiser Seriously Considering Trip
to This Country.
New York, May 23-Is the kaiser
paving the way for personal and Of
>ficial visit to the United States? =
That is the query one hears on all
sides, cables the Berlin correspondent
of The Herald. It is understood the
prospects of a journey to the United
States were discussed during the kai-
ser's recent trip on board the Kron
Prinz Wilhelm to the North sea. 1t
has always been on of his earnest
wishes expressed in private conversa-
tion and to the members Of the Ameri-
can embassy here that he might some
day be able to visit the United States.
Apart from promise of glowing
reception the kaiser wishes to see with
his own eyes the colossal enterprises
and industrial magnitude of the Unit
ed States.
The kaiser sincerely believes that
Germany and the United States can
obtain more advantageous results by
working together commercially and
politically than by resorting to tariff
warfare.
The German government will pro
pose, it is believed, a renewal of the
favored nation treaty with the United
States to prevent an outbreak of tariff
hostilities such as the agrarians are
clamoring for.

BISHOP THoBURN TEsTIFIEs.
American Occupation of Philippines an
Act of God.

Washington, May 23.-Bishop Tho
burn of the Methodist Episcopal
church of India and Malasia was be-
fore the senate committee on Philip
pines during the day. He said the
American occupation of the Philip
pines should be continued. In the
course of his examination he said that
the American occupation was an act of
God. This led to quite a long line of
questions by Senator Paterson, in
which the bishop was asked whether
the occupation of Cuba was an act of
God and when he replied in the af-
firmative Senator Patterson asked if
the withdrawal was also the act of
God.
''It is too soon to answer that" he
replied. "The United States may have
to go back there"
Senator Patterson pursued the ques-
tions to some length and the bishop
finally pronounced them 'metaphysi
CAL"
Senator Beveridge objected, saying
the questions were unnecessary, and
Senator Patterson remarked that
whenever the questions were such as
to bring out evidence which the ma
jority did not want an excuse was
made for objection.
Chairman Lodge sustained the OBJ
lection,

nan and many magazine writer's and
correspondents are also among those
who arrived on the steamer.
The Dixie began landing her enor-

storehouse on shore soon became con-
gested, and this is the greatest diff
Guilty of the administration.
The United Statesssteamer Potomac

commanders Of the war vessels now

party succeeded in making landing.
The effects of the outburst of yester-
day were tremendous. The huge

Hurled Flat to the Earth.
The bombardment OF volcanic stones
Is not sufficient to account for this,
and all evidences point to the passage
of furious blast of blazing gas, trav-
cling at enormous speed and with in
calculable force. The deposit of boul-
ders, ashes and angular stones is enor-
nous. Not a human being saw what
happened at st. Pierre yesterday morn
ing. Fort de France is overwhelmed.
. This second eruption was many
times more violent than that which eff
faced st. Pierre and swept its people
from the earth. Nor has all volcanic
activity ceased. Vast columns Of
smoke and gas still pour from the
great crater and new assures have
opened on the mountain sides and are
vomiting yellow whirlwinds, which
rush internationally now from one point
and now from another. Boiling mud
also is thrown out at times in torrents
that reach the sea and produce small
tidal waves.
From sombre, silent city of death
and desolation, st. Pierre has become
a hideous amphitheatre of fiery, roar
ing destruction. Utter and, unreason-
ing fear possesses all souls. Even
Fort de France is believed to be un-
safe. The presence of the relief ships,
however, is helpful to the people, who
say "the American flag makes safety
The Potomac could not approach
close to st. Pierre. The Dixie will
sail tomorrow for st, Vincent, but the
other vessels will remain.

175co0 people within it's borders, and that
they are are as intelligent as any people
in the nation. He declares that the
Mormon question is Of SO little account

that it has $50, 900 Inhabitants, three-hfths

their descendants and the remaining two
1ifths, American citizens of Spanish de-
