Hawaii an Example.

Some of our citizens oppose the low
ering of the tariff on Cuban products,
just as three years ago they opposed
the admission of the Hawaiian Islands,
lest free trade with them might ruin
certain of our interests here. In the ac-
tual event their fears proved baseless
as regards Hawaii, and their apprehen-
sions as to the damage to any Industry
of our own because of the proposed
measure of reciprocity with Cuba seem
to me equally baseless. In my judgment
no American industry will be hurt, and
many industries will be benefited by
the proposed action. It Is to our ad-
vantage as a nation that the growing
Cuban market should be controlled by
American producers.
The events following the war with
Spain and the prospective building OF
the isthmian canal render 1t certain
that we must take in the future a far
greater interest than hitherto in what
happens throughout the West Indies,
Central America and the adjacent
coasts and waters. We expect Cuba
, to put us on an exceptional footing
politically, and we should put her In the
same exceptional position economically
The proposed action is in line with the
course we have pursued as regards all
the islands with which we have been
brought into relations OF varying init
macy by the Spanish war. Porto Rico
and Hawaii have been included within
our tariff lines, to their great benefit
as well as ours, and without any of the
feared detriment to our own industries
The Philippines, which stand in a diff
ferent relation, have been granted sub
stantial tariff concessions.
Cuba is an independent republi,
which has assumed certain special OBJ
legations as regards her internationa
position in compliance with our re
quest. ask for her certain specia
economic concessions in return; thes
economic concessions to benefit us a
well as her. There are few brighte
pages in American history than tn

: Cuba during the past four years. Oh
her behalf we waged a war, of whicI
! the handspring was general indignation
against oppression, and we have KEEP

dan yards of the Panhandle railroad
was the scene Monday evening of one
Of the most disastrous explosions and
lire known in this section for many
years. Al least 25 lives were lost and
between eco and 800 persons were
so badly burned that. according to The
Judgment Of physicians in attendance,
- per cent Of them will die from the
effects of their injuries.
The cause OF The catastrophe was the
explosion Of train of naphtha cars
which were being switched at he
yard and in the switching the rear car
telcscoped Il car forward. The lead
ing naphtha car ignited from switch

threw the flames 80 feet high. Much

TIE PALMER ESTATE.
Will of the Late Chicago millionaire
Shows 1t to he Valued ut SS,OOO,-
OOU-Its Disposition.

Chicago, May 14.-By the terms of
the will of the late Potter Palmer, filed
in the Cook county probate court late
Tuesday afternoon, his widow, Mrs.
Bertha Honore Palmer. succeeds him as
head of an estate conservatively esti-
mated at Ss.OoO,ooO. The property goes
jointly to Mrs. Palmer and their sons,
Honore and Potter, Jr., but Mrs.
Palmer is given almost unlimited con-
troll of the ultimate disposition of it
all. There are no bequests for public
purposes or charity, save u provision
by which Mrs. Palmer is authorized to
eXpend 100000 for Il woman's memo
rial building, if site shall be given by
the city on the Lake Front park.
Whatever money shall ultimately go t o
charity or for public purposes rests
entirely with Mrs. Palmer. She is to
get one-half of the property and the
two sons will share the other half
equally. While the estimate handed
in to the probate court along with the
will places the total value of the estate
at $S.000,000, it is expected that the ac-
tual value will prove to be consider
ably greater than this figure.

St. Vincent Island.

proprintc S3OO.OOO More for
the Sufferers,

Fort de France. Island of Martin
ique, May 14.-Strangc to relate, in
view of the number of the inhab-
itants of St. Pierre who were swept
to death by the volcanic waves from
Mont Pclee on Thursday last, very
few corpses have been found by
those who are engaged in the work
of cremating dead bodies. This is
due to the fact that the most pop
ulous quarters of the town are bur-
led under thick layer of cindercd
lava, which apparently entirely con-
sumed the bodies of the victims.
Services for the Dead.
Business here is suspended. The
people of the city have assembled
in the churches, and the cathedral,
where special services are being held
for the st. Pierre dead, has been
thronged. The United States gov
ernmcnt tug Potomac leaves here at
once for the island of ST. Vincent,
where conditions are reported to be
worse. La Soufricrc, on st. Vincent,
was in full eruption May 10. A
stream of stone and mud half a mile
wide was then issuing from the VOL
cano. Stones two inches in diam
eter fell 10 miles away.
Two Thousand Dead.
At Kingston, the capital of the is
land, the ashes were two inches
deep. Seven hundred dead were re-
ported Sunday, May II. 1t is csti-
mated that the total number of
deaths on st. Vincent will reach
1000. Most of the seven estates on
the island have been burned to ashes
and it is automatically reported that
two earthquakes occurred there. 1t
is believed the submarine cables in
the disturbances. The present vol
canic eruption on ST. Vincent is the
first since 1912.

Fort de France, Island of Martin
ique, May 14.--I'he United States gov
ernment tug Potomac, which came to
Martinique from San Juan, Porto
island Monday afternoon. She en-
countercd an inky black column of
smoke which made it necessary for
her to go five miles out of her course.
Words fail to describe the present
situation at st. Pierre. small de-
tachmcnt of French troops is making
efforts to inter the dead, although
the government seems to be strik-
ingly unconccrned as to what is done
in this direction.
Need Provisions for 100000.
| Provisions are needed here imme-
diatcly for 100000 people. A ship
| load of lime is also needed at st.
Pierre for sanitary purposes. The
stencil there from the dead bodies
is overpowering. Mont Pclcc was
still crupting smoke and fire at Il
late hour Monday night. The French
cruiser Suchct is here, and the city
of Fort de France is quiet. 1t is
reported here from the british is
land of Dominica that 800 survivors
of the st. Pierre disaster have
reached there in canoes.
Every praise is given United
States Consul Ayme. lie has worked
indcfatigably to snccor the survivors.

The men at work in the quarry were
not aware of their danger until she
ran to the quarry and warned them,
not a second too soon. While the
men and Miss Henderson were flee
