Fort de France, Island of Marti-
nique, May 13.-The United States
government tug Potomac, which came
to Martinique from San Juan, Porto
Rico, cruised along the coast of this
island yesterday afternoon. She en-
countered an inky-black column of
smoke, which made it necessary for
her to go five miles out of her way.
Words fail to describe the present
situation at st. Pierre. A small de-
tachment of French troops is making
efforts to inter the dead, although
the government seems to be striking
ly u~nconcerned as to what is done in
this direction.
already. While coming to Fort de
France the Potomac picked up a boat
containing five colored men and one
white man whose pockets we're filled
with coin and jewelry, the latter evil

ing was issued from the white house

The president has appointed a com
mittee to receive funds for the relief
of the sufferers from the recent calam.
ity in Martinique and st. Vincent.

WELDING TO THE MINISTRY.
Opponents Of Sale of Islands Will
Agree to a PIebiscite,

Copenhagen, May 13.-The confer
ence committee of the Danish parlia-
ment appointed to consider the action
of the two houses on the Danish West
Indies treaty has begun it's sittings.
1t held two executive sessions today.
The opponents of the sale of the is
lands seem inclined to yield to the
demand of the ministry for a plebis.
cite. The members of the opposition,
however, insist on withholding final
judgment on the treaty until after a
plebiscite, which they contend is nee.
essary to show the real temper OF
the islanders.
The ministry will not agree to such
a course, preferring to let the matter
rest until after the September cleo.
tions, when the landsthing is likely
to give the ministry a majority, en-.
aiding it to secure the ratification un.
conditionally. knowledge of this will
now, in all probability, conduce to
a satisfactory compromise with the
opposition.

RELIEF WORK WAS PUSHED.
Unied States Will Do All It Can to
Aid the Sufferers.

Washington, May 13.-so compre-
hensive4y laid were the plans of the
war department, even before the pass
age of the joint resolution providing
for the relief of the volcano sufferers,
that there was really very little re-
naming for the officials to do today.
The plans of the commissary de-
partment, made after consideration
of the new dispatches from the An
titles, contemplate the supply of 49,
900 rations for Il days. The quarter
masters department is purchasing
clothing supplies Tor 10000 people,
and the medical department is work
ing in proportion in it's purchase. In
the navy department the carefully
planned relief measures are being car
ried forward systematically and rap
Oily.
The Buffalo has been ordered to be
put in readiness for immediate use
as a food and supply transport in
case it should be decided to send
more supplies than the Dixie could
carry.
Action has not yet been taken upon
Admiral Bradford's suggestion that
water tenders be sent to Martinique
to relieve the pressing need for fresh
water. The admiral is anticipating
the acceptance Of the plan and has
accordingly telegraphed to Pensacola
and Norfolk to have the tenders at
those places made ready for imme-
diate service. The admiral has also
rendered the use of his coal navy as
food and passenger transports. The
equipment bureau. of which he is the
head, has a small but excellent fleet
of large golfers. and the admiral has
suggested to Secretary Moody that
these ships are, by virtue of their
great carrying capacity, excellently
adapted to relief work. Each of the
ships carries rom 1000 to 5000 tons
of supplies.
There is no lack of indications of
spontaneous offerings from all parts
of the country.
1t appeared by noon that so rapid
" had the government agents worked
that already the war department alone
had spent owe 500, 900 of the relief
appropriation.

suicide of DR.. F. ]. Leadbrooke, a

ME Booth, the ~19-yearsold daughter Of

CONVICT DIES BY POISON
CHARLES FISCHER COMMITS SUI
eide AT M!ssoULA.
His Partner in Crime Also Took a
Dose But Was Later Pumped
Out and Will Live.

Missoula, May Predetermined that
he would not serve a 12-year term in
the penitentiary, Charles Fischer
swallowed morphine in the county
Jail in Missoula at 1870 o'clock this
morning and died at 4 o'clock. His
partner, George Kirkwood, with the
same determination in view, also
swallowed morphine, but at a later
hour was pumped out and will live.
When Fischer was found, shortly
after he had swallowed the drug, he
was deathly sick. The empty NOR.
phine bottle lay on the cell floor. The
guard summoned physicians and des-
perate efforts were made to save the
lives of each. Kirkwood did not at.
tempt to save himself from the doc.
tors, but Fischer fought as valiantly
as possible in his weak condition
to prevent the doctors from pumping
him out. 1t was this exertion that
STAYED the doctors off just too long.
Kirkwood, apparently, regretted his
attempt at self-destruction and readily
consented to the application of the
stomach pump.
Poison SteaIthiIy Secured.
1t is not known to the sheriff and
the jailers how the poison was secur
ed by the men. 1t is presumed that
it was slipped in to them by someone
who, yesterday, was permitted to see
them. Having no fears for the safe
ty of their charges it is said that Wis
itors were freely admitted to talk with
the two men yesterday.
Both men were convicted of com
plicity in the robbery of the Western
Touring mills Of Missoula. Kirkwood
was to have been sentenced tomor-
row and it was to avail himself of
probably the only opportunity he
would have of ending his life that he
swallowed the poison this morning.
Fischer got a 12-year sentence yes
terday and was the leader in the plan
to cheat the prison by taking poison.
Fischer was 80 years old and Kirk
wood % years old. Both were harden.
ed criminals. @
Fischer called Butte his home. Lit
tie is known of his antecedents, be-
yond his criminal career.

A GIRLS PRESENCE OF MIND.
Katie Henderson Saved Miners From
an Awful Death.

Katie Henderson Saved Miners From
an Awful Death.
Norristown, Pa, May 13.-The pres
ence of mind of Miss Katie Hender-
son saved 80 men employed in the
quarries at West Coshoctou from
death or injury. Miss Henderson re-
sides a short distance from the quar-
ry and as she looked from a window
she saw that the roof of the powder
magazine was blazing. The men at
work in the quarry we're 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 fleeing there was a
terrible explosion. The air was filled
with splinters, stones and dirt which
showered upon their heads. In the
magazine which exploded there were
30 kegs of powder and 300 pounds of
dynamite. Nothing but a hole in the
ground marks the place where the
powder house stood.

Harper's Ferry, the Gate to
the Shenandoah Valley.

Where the three States of Vir.
ginia, West Virginia and Mary
land come together; where the Po-
tomac and Shenandoah Rivers
unite: where the towering sleeps
of the Blue Ridge end abruptly,
frowning upon the heights of Mary
land and Bolivar Heights in West
Virginia, lies the quaint historic
town of Harper's Ferry. John
Brown baptized it in blood in 1859,
when lie captured the town and
the U. S Arsenal and made his
final and fatal stand in the engine
house known afterwards as John
Browns Fort. alongside the
Baltimore 4 Ohio Railroad. A
plain shaft, simply inscribed, now
marks the location.
Again in 1861, grim visaged
war seized the village and held it
tight in its grasp for nearly four
years. The deeds that were done,
and the tales that are told con
corning Harper's Ferry fill vol
umeS.
The heights at Harper's Ferry
guarded the Shenandoah Valley.
1t was most important strong
hold to be desired when some
great campaign was planned by
either army.
From Harper's Ferry the Shen-
andoah Division Of the Baltimore
X Ohio X. Il. extends southwark
to Charlestown, Winchester, Har-
