parts. The first shows the American
troops in night-halt en- route, with sol
diers fun, some charming songs and
very effective camp scene. The second
is the battle, reproduced with wonder
full and thrilling effect. Of the hun
dreds of men engaged in this scene,
quite number served in Roosevelt's

Others, especially engaged for varaisem-

gents, who also fought there. Coming

Martinique Threatened.

The total destruction of the Island of
Martinique is now feared as result of the
renewed activity of Mount Pelee which is
spoutins fire and stones at fierce rate.
The descriptions of the eruption thus far
received suggest that it rivals the original
oUtburst of May in its intensity, there be-
ing more brilliant spectacle in some re-
spects, although there has not been as vet
indication of so great a blast of killing gas.
This. however, may be due to the fact that
there are comparatively few persons left
within the range OF the mountains ac
tivity. and that the effects of it's discharges
are not so conspicuously noticeable
Should Martinique disappear beneath the
waters other serious results may be expect
ed, and the possibility is already alarming

nearby Islands The subsistence of such
vast mass of matter could not occur with

Therefore the fact that the inhabitants of
this stricken island who have survived
their terrible visltations are fleeing to the
other islands of the great chain is no as
surance that a further great disaster will
not occur. There is indeed danger that the
worst is yet to come, horrible as was the
eruption of May. The Krakatoa exDio-
sion, which occurred August p, was the
climax or a series of increasing conyul-
sions, beginning in the early spring There

Where did the bird fly from that reached

the pigeon out five miles from New Haven

ton OF the national association Of homing

to be most unfortunate that zeal on the
part Of a fancier should cause the growth
of ill-feeling where heretofore there has
been only confidence and fair dealing. The
moment pure sport Is mixed with gambling
danger arises. The laying of wagers on re-
suits is the curse of competition.

Monsignor Guidi.
A cable from Rome says:

When the question of the appointment of
an apostolic delegate to the Philippine
Islands was first brought forward. the wish
was expressed in more than one quarter in
this country that he might be an American.
The idea seemed to be that a Roman Catho-
lie prelate from the United States would
best meet the emergency. But the opinion
now is that the Vatican decided the ques-
tion wisely. Monsignor Guidi. going to the
scene directly from Rome and from the
papal household, will thoroughly under

Morgan. The latter was at the head of a
voting trust which controlled the Reading
under agreement to continue this ar
rangement until four per cent dividends
had been paid for two successive years on
the preferred stock. There has been a
great deal OF what railroad men call manip
ulation and politics in the affair. The coal
strike has given a reason for a reduction
of the dividend, and this has had the effect
of continuing the voting trust. Just what
arrangements have been made between the
Pennsylvania and Mr.. Morgan's interests
are not known, but the situation as now
understood Is that the Goulds have been
defeated and that the Pennsylvania prac-
tically controls the Reading.
Two important issues hang possibly upon
this result, the coal strike and the fate of
the Pennsylvania efforts to acquire q
New York city terminal. The Reading an
thracite interests are dominant. If that
corporation persists in continuing the fight
against the strikers the end can come only
through the collapse of the strike. If 1t
yields the whole fabric of the operators
opposition fails. Now that Mr.. Morgan's
powerful position with relation to the
Reading corporation is fully disclosed he
may be compelled to take an active part in
the adjustment of the strike. Likewise
the Pennsylvania, by becoming a party 10
the coal combination, becomes subject to
pressure which 1t has heret ofore not felt.
AS regards the New York terminal scheme,
there has been no lack of suggestion here
tofore that the antagonism between the
Goulds and the Pennsylvania has been aC-
countable for the refusal of the board of
aldermen to accept the tunnel franchise.
Another failure to agree upon terms has
just been recorded after a further confer
ence between the aldermen and the rail-
road cOmpany's representatives. and the
prospect appears dark for an early start
on the great terminal work. Just what
effect the defeat of the Goulds in the effort
to get control OF the Reading will have
upon the case remains a matter for
conjecture But it would seem as though
this failure is hardly likely to improve the
relations between the two corporations and
lead to smoother sailing for the Pennsyl-
vania. 1t is deplorable that a great public
enterprise should be blocked for such
reason.

It's made lot of bother,
But 1t isn't settled yet.

That wore the iron mask,
And who struck Billy Patterson"

A Railroad Rivalry.

Later developments indicate that the re-
cent rise IN the price Of Reading railroad
stock has been due not so much to re-
turn of public confidence in the ability of
the operators Of the coal mines Of that
corporation to break the strike as TO the
rival efforts of two great corporate inter-
ests to- secure control Of the line The in
tense competition now in progress between
the Goulds and the Pennsylvania railroad
has given the Reading a sudden new value
in the market. The Goulds are seeking TO
perfect chain of connections which will
give them an Atlantic terminal. Their pur-
chase of the Western Maryland and of
few small lines in West Virginia and Ohio
has permitted a somewhat circuitous route
from their main trunk, the Wabash sys-
tenn. TO Baltimore. But they desire a moro
northerly outlet, New York preferably,
Philadelphia as next choice. The Reading
would permit both of these New York
