NOTICED AT GALVESTON. An Astronomer Breathed Odor From Whales Killed by Explosion.

Galveston, Tex, June 6.-Mont Pelee on the Isle of Martinique made itself felt over many square miles of the globe and has sent evidences of It's power to Calves ton.
 Several pieces of pumice stone, the foam from molten lava, have been found on the beach between Sixth and Eighteenth streets and there Is no other apparent source from which 1t could come.
 Deputy County Clerk Glenn Kuhnel, a local astronomer and geologist of some note. states that about May 16 he was standing at on elevation of sixteen or nineteen feet above the sea level and breathed tho odor of whale oil, 1t coming quite strong from the east and southwest. At the time he believed that possibly the explosions of the volcano on Martinique had killed many fish and probably several whales and they had fioated westward, giving off the odor noticed by him. Since then he says his theory has been further confirmed by the discovery of whales and fish floating on the waters between here and the volcanic islands.
 Sea Receded 25o Feet.
 Castries. Island of St. Lucia, B. W. l., June GA submarine explosion today caused the sea to receCc 250 feet on the beaches. It then returned to its normal level No damage was done. The Sou friere volcano on the island Of St. fin- cent Is today reported quiet.

MONT PELEE
 AGAIN ANGRY Enormous Column ofBIack Smoke Thrown from Crater
FORT DE FRANCE IN GLOOM
Most Notable Phenomenon Was the Sea Rose and Fell and Then Set
 tied Back to It's Normal Po-
 stion-Eruption Expected.

Fort de France Island of Martinique. June 6. 1o.15 a. m.-A volcanic outburst from Mont Pelee today resulted in the formation of heavy cloud similar to that on May 20 last, though not so dense. No stones fell and when the cloud had spread over Fort de France half an hour later there was no panic here.
 It is noted at Fort de France that the volcanic outbreaks coincide with the changes of the moon.
 Fort de France, Island of Martinique, June 6.-2 D. m.)-Mont Pelee is still in violent eruption.
 This morning an enormous column of black smoke rose from the volcano to a height estimated at miles and then spread rapidly into mushroom-shaped cloud, which appeared to have a diameter of forty miles. The spectacle was most impressive, but there were no detona- tions. no electrical display and no show CTS of ashes. Fort de France has been shrouded in intense gloom like thatwhich accompanies a total eclipse of the sun. The most notable phenomenon today was that the sea rose nearly three feet, then fell to below its normal level, and then returned to it's normal level The cause of this Is inexplicable. The sky is now clear, but a heavy surf is beating on the coast.
 Reports of damage have been received. It is probable that the area of activity and destruction Is the same as that of previous outbursts. This area is now com pletely abandoned.
 Professor Heilprin and George Kennan noticed a great outburst of yellow vapor from the volcano yesterday when they were at Le Precheure. These outbursts seem to be positive precursors of severe eruptions.
 The explosion of this morning was ex- pected and watched for. There was con sequently very little panic among the people here, and quiet was soon restored.
 Passengers Frightened.
 Castries Island of St. Lucia, B. W. l., June 6.-The royal mail steamer Eden, Captain Down, arrived here today. Cap tain Down reports that while leaving Fort de Franco at 10:15 o'clock this morning Mont Pelee erupted and threw out an enormous cloud of smoke, which
 
 on the Eden were much alarmed. At Il 80 almost entire darkness prevailed. While three miles distant from the shore of the island of St. Lucia great clouds of volcanic dust obscured the coast At 3 o'clock this afternoon the darkness was intense over St. Lucia.
 Vessel Vibrated.
 Queenstown, June 6.-On the arrival here today of the British ship Anaurus from Portland. Ore. January 3. her commander, Captain Henderson, reported that on May g. at 10:30 D. m, in latitude 5. longitude 43, a terrible vibration was felt throughout the vessel, the shocks making 1t appear as If the ship was pumping on rocks. At the same time the sea was violently agitated and the crew were in a state of sem-panic. The phe- nomena lasted half a minute. It was not until after relating his experience that Captain Henderson heard of the Marti-

Tie Up Of Forty or More Coal Mines
 Will Be Complete.

Roanoke. Va, June GA special from North Fork, W. Va, says:
 "The miners strike ordered to take place tomorrow, 1t is understood, will be general, and the tie up of the forty or Flat Top fields will no doubt be com plete. All miners coming out of the var ious mines tonight are bringing their tools with them. All is quiet at this place and no trouble Is anticipated.
 Twenty thousand men will quit work tonight. The Hungarians are entering into the strike with the native miners. A number of agitators are employed along the Norfolk and Western railroad direct ing the strike. Events of tomorrow are looked forward to with interest. Business is at a standstill. Miners are discount ing their two weeks time with the mer- chants and are paying up their accounts.
 A great many company stores received cash for fire arms tonight.
 "A prominent Norfolk and Western of- ficial who Is thoroughly acquainted with both the railroad situation here and In the coal fields, said today that strike of thirty days would not interfere with the 2OO0 men employed in the general shops in this city, as they have enough work ahead to keep them going full time for more than month. He said. how ever, that 1t would naturally reduce the train crews materially.

man emperor's brothera with all his
smiles and compliments for his Uncle
Samuel. The latter is not "your royal
h1ghness, your serene majesty" like
those European potentates, but he is
much more His strength lies in the
achievements of his people, whose skill
and energy have captured the markets
OF the world. It is the man in the
shop, the man with the dinner pail,
assisted by our inventive genius, that
have done the work. They have cap
tured Europe more effectually than
ever was done by the armies of the
Hannibals, the Caesars, or the Ma
poleons. The governors of those coun-
tries have awakened to the signifi-
canoe of this pregnant fact, and are
railing over themselves to court Uncle
Sans favor. They want to visit him
on easy terms. They want to see on
the inside of his establishment. They
want to marry his daughter 1t is not
too much to say that they have redis-
covered American and found a much
bigger thing here than greeted the
eyes OF Columbus. Not a great while
ago America was regarded abroad as
kind of joke, and the manners of our
people as laughing stock. Now it is
different, and the whole civilized world
realizes the fact that if there were
giants IN those days" there is a much
mlghtier and stronger giant in these
days, who is destined to stride like
JOCK, with his Seven-league boots, over
and across all the nations of the earth
The conquest is just begun, but will
continue and grow more complete as
the progress Of the world rolls on 1t
Is not conquest of armies, such as
those European rulers are accustomed
to, but the much more effective con-
quest OF mechanical genius, backed by
sucn energy and ingenuity as the
world never saw before.
