MILE OF CRATER
Daring Feat Performed on Tuesday

approached within one mile. ~, was &C
complished Tuesday afternoe ~ Norge
], Kavanaugh, an unattached "I., ~.
companied Prof. Robert T. Hill,
States government geologist. on the
tion.
When Prof Hill turned south, toward
st. Pierre, Mr.. Kavanaugh continued on past
Morne Rouge. His route seems TO have
been along or near the Gale Basse divide.
He says he descended from Morne Rouge
to the valley between Morne Rouge and
Mount Pelee. This valley was deeply
strewn with ashes. Mr.. Kavanaugh was
guided by an aged negress to where an
old footpath once led to Lake Palmiste,
near the summit of the crater. There an
iron cross. twenty feet high, was buried
in ashes to within a foot of its top. Be
fore him stretched upward the mountain
slope. covered with ashes, which soaked by
the heavy rains and baked by the sun ami
volcano heat looked like a cement side
walk. The whole mountain top was
shrouded in smoke.
Forgetful Of the explosion of the previ-
Gus night and the awful suddenness OF the
outbursts, and tempted by the seemingly
easy ascent, ne continued upward ana mace
photographs and rough sketches. Mr..
Kavanaugh found the valley filled with
ashes. and two great riffs. which he was
afraid to approach. At o'clock in the
evening he turned back, reaching Morne
Rouge at about 8 o'clock. He had made no
new observations and realized his danger
only the next morning. when occurred the
greatest outburst since Mount Pelee's first
eruption.
On Wednesday Mr.. Hill tried to ascend
to Mount Pelee, but failed. He found a
little hamlet near the mountain, black with
$50 dead bodies. They we're not carbon
lied, nor had their clothing been burned
of. Probably this valley lay near the inner
edge of the zone OF blasting flame.
George Kennan reported from Morne
Rouge this morning. Two hours ago Prot.
Angelo Heilprin. president of the Philadel-
phia Historical society, working under the
auspices of the National Geographical So
ciety, left with Mr.. Ledbetter to make a
three-days' careful exploration and study
Of the new craters. east and north.

House Votes for Measure to Increase
the Subsidiary Coin Cir
cuIatiOn.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The house to-
day passed the bill to increase the sub
sidiary silver coinage. The democrats di-
rected their fight chiefly against the pro-
vision to recon the standard silver dol
lars into subsidiary coin as public necessi-
ties might require. A half dozen roll calls
were forced. Some of the New York demo-
Gratis voted for the previous question, but
voted with their colleagues on a motion
to recommit with instructions to strike
out the provision relative to the recoinage
of silver dollars
The conference reports on the omnibus
public buildings and fertilization appropria-
tion bills were adopted. and the house
adjourned until Monday.
The text of the subsidiary coinage bill
is as follows:
That the secretary of the treasury is
hereby authorized to coin the silver bull
lion in the treasury purchased under the
act of July II, 1890, into such denominations
of subsidiary silver coin as he may deem
necessary to meet public requirements, and
thereafter, as public necessities may de-
mand, to re-coin silver dollars into sub
sidiary coin; and so much of any act as
fixes limit to the aggregate of subsidiary
act as directs the coinage of any portion OF
the bullion purchased under the act of July
"A, 1880, into standard silver dollars is
hereby repealed.
A bill was passed for the improvement
and care Of Confederate Mound in oakwood
cemetery, Chicago.
Mr.. Loud OF California called attention
to the fact that there were buried at Con-
federate Mound twelve union soldiers and
4043 confederates, and expressed the Cpin-
ion that the bill would be the first step in
the direction of national care for the graves
Of the confederate dead. But he made no
objection.
A bill was also passed to reduce the Sc
lection Of reserve banks to cities of is. 900
