REWARD FOR A FIREMAN.
Private Branzen Given Extra Leave
for Bravery.

Messrs. johnson & Edmonds of 1890 Penn
sylyania avenue have written to Chief En-
gineer Dutton Of the fire department, COM
mending the work of Private Branzell OF
truck company D at a fire In the store oc-
cupied by the firm the evening of April L.
Chief Dutton has forwarded the papers to
the District Commissioners. He says the
private in question has only been connected
with the department year, and under the
regulations would be allowed but ten days
leave this summer. He recommends that
as a reward for his work at the fire in
question he be allowed five days additional
leave.
It appears that Private BranZeH was
passing the store on street car, and MOTTO
ing the fire got off, broke open the window
and extinguished the fire, though it was
burning quite fiercely at the time. Messrs.
Johnson & Edmonds especially commended
Private Branzell In that he did not break
open the part of the window leading into
the store, which. in their opinion, would
have allowed the fire to spread and perhaps
to have caused great damage to their store
and goods.

missioners the papers In the cases OF Assist

tions-Senate Continues Discussion
of Philippine Measure.

Washington, May 13.-The house
yesterday passed by an overwhelming
majority vote the bill granting $780,
600 for the relief of the sufferers in the
great calamity in the West Indies
The bill was a substitute for the relief
measure passed by the senate and fol-
lowed the receipt of a message from
the president setting forth the magni-
tude of the calamity and urging an ap-
preparation Of 100000. A special
meeting of the appropriation commit
tee was held to facilitate action on the
bill and it was reported to the house
within a short time after the receipt OF
the presidents message. Mr.. Heming-
way, acting chairman of the appropria-
ton committee explained that the
amount was limited to 100000, owing
to the fact that large private contribu-
lions were being made. The discus
sion was brief, Mr.. Underwood of Ala
hama being the only one to speak in
opposition. The bill passed by 1876 to
9 votes. Those voting IN the negative
were .Messrs. Burgess (Tex), Gains
(Tenn), Lanham (Tex), Moon

coating of ashes. Furious blasts of
fire, ashes and mud swept over the
steamer, but finally st. Pierre was
reached. ST. Pierre stretched nearly
two miles along the water front and
half mile back to the cliff at the
base of the volcano. The smoking vol
cano lowered above the ash-covered
hills. Ruins were burning in many
places and frightful odors of burned
flesh filed the air. With great difficult

men, women and children were

Huge blocks of still hot stones were

the utter silence and awful overpower-

the fiery stream which so completely
destroyed st. Pierre must have been
composed of poisonous gases, which
instantly suffocated everyone who in

tude, showing they sought relief from
suffocation. All of the bodies were
