Two Hundred Lost.

Castries, Island of st. Lucia, Brit.
ish West Indies, Sept. 1.-The British
steamer Korona arrived here yester.
day evening from Fort de France, Is.
land of Martinique. She reports that
a terrible eruption of Mount Pelee
occurred at 8 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, and that reports from the north
end OF the island state that the vii
lage of Monte Rouge had been entire.
~ destroyed and that LIE Carbet, a
village IN the coast which was de-
stroyed at the time OF the great erup-
ton, had been swept by a tidal wave.
About two hundred persons lost their
lives.
A sloop from the island of st. Vim.
cent, which reached here this morn
ing, reports that Mount Pelee crater
is 10Y quiet, but the detonations dur
ing Saturday night were the loudest
heard up to that time, and the iphab-
itants we're terribly alarmed.

cussed a proposition offered by Com
mitteeman Toomsy of Powell that the
vote for Bryan and for Judge Milburn
be aided and the basis be determined
by ascertaining the average of the
two. The vote resulted the same as
the first one, Is to 10. The committee
went to dinner then, taking an ad-
journment until $3.50 O'Clock.
After %reconvening the committee re-
NAMED in session two hours. The
question of delegates-at-large came
up at the later meeting. The Heinze
forces had at that time agreed to &C.
cede to the average Of the votes for
Governor Toole and Judge Milburn
if they were allowed 10 delegates-at-
large, which was looked upon as an
effort to secure added representation
from the non-democratic counties,
whose delegations Heinze hopes to
control. An amendment, vas offered
to reduce the number to five, and
later the motion was further amend
ed to make it three. In that form the
motion passed and the committee adj
journed. The. call for the convention
was later prepared for publication.

SHIPMENTS roo GREAT.
Reason for Decentralization Of CHICAGO
Beef Market.

In their weekly review of the range
cattle market Rosenbaum Bros, the
Chicago commission men, have the
following to say:
The demoralized condition of the
range cattle market is wholly at
tributable to the liberal supply of cat
tie, and it is much to be regretted that
a season which opened so auspicious-
ly, and with such a very encouraging
outlook, should develop such an enor-
nous break in values in so short a
period and cause a decline in prices
of 81 to $3.50 per cwt. from the open
ing prices of the season.
There is considerable criticism be-
ing made by owners, and We are in
clined to believe that there is more
truth than poetry" in their reasoning,
that some of our commission firms
here are more or less to blame for the
excessive runs of range cattle now
being marketed, and bad break in
prices. 1t seemed to be the "fad"
early in the season to sell a few cat
tie at outside prices, and the tailings
at any old price. This was not very
difficult AS there were but few
rangers" coming to market, and east
ern buyers were in the market for a
few head, and consequently a few
cars of cattle were sold at enormously
high prices, and as these top prices
were extensively advertised, the result
is apparent, and we are now having
an unusual run of rangers for the
month of August. In August, 1895,
there were only los, 900, when the
supply of rangers for the entire sea,
son was nearly double what it will be
this year.
AS to the prospects for an improve
ment in the market in the near flu.
ture, we can only say that the re-
ceipts must materially decrease be-
fore much favorable reaction can he
expected.

Yellowstone County Votes With

Helena, Sept. 1.-THE democratic
state central committee today decided
upon a basis of apportionment Of the
delegates to the next state conven-
ton of the party, but the decision
was not reached until many conflict.
ing propositions had been discussed.
On the question of the time and place
of meeting there was less trouble.
The committee agreed with practical
unanimity to hold the convention at
Bozeman on September %. This is
two days before the meeting Of the
labor party convention in Helena.
The basis of representation decided
upon this afternoon vas arrived at.
by devious mathematics. The vote
for Governor Toole and for Associate
Justice Milburn is added together and
divided by two. Each county is al
lowed one delegate for every 20 of
the resultant number of votes, with
three additional delegates at large. i!
The result will be a convention of
500 members, divided as follows:

FLOODED BY HOT STREAMS

Castries, Island of st. Lucia, e. W.
l., Sept. 2.-Mount Pelee has been in
constant eruption since August Is.
There was an enormous fall of ashes
from the. volcano the nigth of the
25th. There was a severe eruption
the night of the 28th, when the vol
canic rumblings were heard at a great
distance. The mountain burned fierce
ly that night and out at sea passing
vessels were covered with ashes. The
night of the Both there were three
separate eruptions.
1t is impossible to approach. the
ruined town of ST. Pierre from the
sea. The people of the village of Lee
carbet on the coast, are terror-strick-
en- and fleeing to the interior. Hot
water is pouring down on Lorraine
and Basse Pointe, villages to the
northwest of the crater. Horrible de-
donations were heard, the ground
rocked and quaked and articles on ia
bles were thrown to the floor. The
governor of Martinique has ordered
every available boat to remove the
people from the coast villages 10 Fort
de France.
At 8 o'clock in the evening of Sat
urday, the 30th, the sky was cloud
less. Suddenly and without warning,
one-half Of the horizon was obscured
by a pitch black cloud of dust. This
cloud was a magnificent effect, the
flashes of light SURPRISING the most
elaborate fireworks. Flames and
flashes continued to burst from the
cloud until nearly midnight. Columns
OF flames shot out of the crater of
Mount Pelee to explode about the
cloud in showers of balls of golden
fire. which fell through the darkness
in myriads of sparks. A tidal wave
rushed upon Fort de France, and the
terrified inhabitants fed in large num-
bers to the interior. The wave was
not severe, and did but slighr~damage.
At midnight of the Goth Mount
felee was quiet; shortly after this
hour there came another shower of
ashes. accompanied by vivid sheet
lightning. In additions to the 200 per-
sons reported to have lest their lives
at LIE Carbel and Mourne Rouge, many
other persons are said to have been
killed all over the northern districts
of the islands.
The governor OF Martinique is be-
lieyed to have started for the scene
of destruction.

here yesterday she was covered with
ashes.

" WV
The direct issue between the Clark
and the Heinze forces was drawn
soon after the session opened, when
Committeeman Toomey of Powell
county, one of the staunch supporters
OF Mr.. Clark, moved that a committee
of five be appointed by the chairman
to report upon a plan for determin.
ing the basis of representation. The
vote upon this issue was a tie, 10 to
ID, Valley county being represented
in the meeting. The vote on roll call
by counties showed that the forces
of Senator Clark and Mr.. Heinze were
aligned as follows:
For the motion:
Beaverhead-H. R. Melton; Broad
water-T. N. Averill; Carbon-G. H.
Hough; Dawson-D. J. Brown; Deer
Lodge-Thomas Devine; Gallatin-
Walter Cooper; Granite-Paul A.

Against the motion: Cascade-A.

Missoula-H. w. Mclaughlin; Park

J. K. Toole (proxy); Sweet Grass
Harvey Bliss; Valley-E. D. Coleman;
Yellowstone-W. B. George.
The appearance of Governor Toole.
who is an avowed Heinze partisan,
was a surprise to the committeeman
on the other side. The governor pre.
scented credentials as the proxy of
]. j. Knowlton of Silver Bow county.
Kncwlton is a former employee Of
Senator Clark, and for many years
has been regarded as one of Clark's
strongest supporters. They had con-
fidence in him until the last hour
some Of the Clark men said today.
Committeeman Knowlton was in Hell
ena at the time set for the meeting
OF the committee. He took the train
for home just as the meeting was be-
ing called to order, ard his proxy
was presented by the governor.
The tie in the vote left the commit
tee at a deadlock. Chairman Cooper
had voted as the representative of
Gallatin county, from which he is the
regular committeeman and could not
vote again to decide the issue. Com
mitteeman NeiH Of Lewis and Clarke
county, in behalf of the Heinze men,
moved that the basis be made the
vote for Governor Toole in the state
election of. 1900. The committee dis

Damage.
THE days have been warm and the
nights very cool, but the average tenn
perature was practically normal"
says Section Director Montrose w.
Hayes in his weekly crop report is
sued yesterday. "On the morning of
the Goth frost occurred at scattered
points in the western two-thirds of
the state, and in a few places damaged
spring wheat, late oats and potatoes
and tender vegetables. On the 9th
light to moderate showers fell in the
southwest counties. With this ex-
ception dry weather prevailed over the
entire state.
"The wheat and cat harvest is well
advanced, or has been completed, and
threshing is in general progress. The
yield of these crops ranges from an
average to very good, and in Flathead
and Beaverhead is especially good.
Spring wheat, which is somewhat
backward, is an exception to the<fore-
going.
"Haying has been completed; re
suits obtained are generally very sat
isfactory.
''Tile second crop of alfalfa is be
ing cut. In Carbon county it is light
er than usual on account of the
scarcity of water, but elsewhere it is
quite good.
Late potatoes are suffering for
water; the early crop, however, is
up TO the average.
1.-THE apple crop in Flathead county
is very promising. 4
Ranges are now very dry"
The Northern Pacific company's bull
letin, also issued yesterday, has the
following concerning crops in this
county:

crop. Grain harvest well advanced
and threshing is in progress; yield
about the same as last year. Heavy
