lege Of Government.
Senators DolliVer and Hanna, Commits
sioner Mcfarland, DR.. Bristol, Pres
ldent Roosevelt and Others De-
IiVered Short Addresses.

Washington, May 15.-In the pres
ence of a large audience President
Roosevelt Wednesday laid the corner
stone of the Mckinley Memorial Ohio
College of Government, of the Ameri-
can university, located a few miles
outside this city, in the northwestern
part of the District of Columbia
When completed the building will be
devoted to studies embracing di-
plomacy, municipal government, ar
bitration, civics and international
law.
On the platform beside the presi-
dent were Secretary of Agriculture

ma and Dolliver, Representative Pugs-
ley, of New York; Secretaries Cortel-
you and Loeb, Bishop William F. Nal
lalieu, of Massachusetts; Hon. H. B.
F. MacFarland, president of the board
of district commissioners, and many
men prominent in educational and
church work.
The ceremonies were opened by a
hymn written for the occasion by Rev
DR.. Rankin, president of Howard uni
versity. Responsive readings from
the Proverbs and prayer by Joseph F.
Perry, D. D., of Chicago, followed.
Senator bolivar, of iowa, was then
introduced. He spoke briefly of the
life and character of the late Presi-
dent Mckinley.
Senator Hanna was the next speak
er, and from the beginning of his re-
marks until the end his voice tremor-
ed with emotion.
At the conclusion of his remarks,
which were often interrupted by ap-
plause, the senator was warmly con-
graduated by Secretary Hay and Pres
ident Roosevelt and all within reach.
Commission MacFarIand, DR.. F. M.
Bristol, who was President McKinley's
pastor, and Bishop Mallalieu, followed
with brief addresses.
The speech-making closed with a
brief address by President Roosevelt.
The president then, with trowel in
hand, threw in the mortar and the
stone was lowered slowly into posi-
ton. At some later date it will be
raised sufficiently high to permit Of
the placing of number of relics in
the zinc box within. The DoxOlOgy
was sung at the presidents request
and the services closed with a benedic-
ton by Rev. DR.. H. A. r. Naylor, Of
washington.
At a session of the board of t'suHtees
held Wednesday resolutions were pass
ed providing for the laying of plans
for the raising of additional funds
to complete the building

volcanic eruption on st. Vincent is the
first since 1912.
The northern section OF the island
is depopulated.
Provisions are needed here imme-
diately for 100000 people. A shipload
of lime is also needed at st. Pierre
for sanitary purposes. The stencil
there from the dead bodies is over
towering. Mont Pelee was still erupt-
ing smoke and fire at late hour Mon
day night.
In addition to specie already secur-
ed, jewels to the value of 100000
francs were rescued from the bank Of
st. Pierre Monday.
Margaret Stokes, the 9-year-cld
daughter of the late Clement Stokes,
of New York, who with her mother, a
brother, aged 4, and sister, aged 3,
was on the Inflated British steamer
Roraima, is in the hospital here. The
child is not expected to live. Her
nurse, Clara King, tells the following
story of her experience:
She says she was in her state room
when the steward of the Roraima call
ed out to her: Look at Mont Pelee!"
She went on deck and saw vast mass
of black clouds coming down from the
volcano. The steward ordered her to
return to the saloon, saying, 1T is
coming"
Miss King then rushed to the sa-
loon. She says she experienced a feel
ing of suffocation, which was followed
by intense heat.
The after part of the Roraima broke
out in flames. Ben Benson, the car
penter of the Roraima, who is now
in the hospital here severely burned,
assisted Miss King and Margaret
Stokes to escape. With the help Of
Mr.. Scott, the first mate of the Ro-
raima, he constructed raft with life
preservers. Upon this Miss King and
Margaret Stokes were placed.
While this was being done Marga-
ret's little brother died Mate Scott
brought the child water at great per-
sonal danger, but it was unavailiug.
Shortly after the death of the little
boy Mrs. Stokes succumbed. Marga-
ret and Miss King eventually got away
on the raft and were picked up by the
steamer Korona. Mate Scott also es-
capped. Miss King did not sustain Sc
riOus injuries. She covered the face
of Margaret with her dress, but still
the child was probably fatally burned.
The only woman known to have sur
vived the disaster at st. Pierre was a
Negress named Fillotte. She was
found in a cellar Saturday afternoon,
where she had been for three days.
She was still alive but fearfully burn
ed from head to toes. She died in the
hospital here.

THE MINERS CONVENTION.
Question Of Continuing the General
Strike Is Unsettled.

Hazleton, Pa, May 15.-The conven-
ton Of the anthracite mine workers,
called at the instance Of the executive
boards of the three districts compris-
ing the Pennsylvania hard coal fields,
held two sessions Wednesday, and with
out taking any action on the question
Of inaugurating a permanent strike,
adjourned until Thursday morning.
The convention is meeting behind
closed doors, and although nothing Of
ficially was given out, it is known
that the all-imporant question was not
reached, the two sessions being de-
voted entirely to the organization of
the meeting and the report of the COM
mittee on credentials.
The day brought forth no definite
information bearing on the probable
action of the convention, and the sit
uatiOn Wednesday night remains about
the same as it has during the past
4S hours President Mitchell said that
all hope Of any concessions from the
operators was gone. He has had no
recent communication, he said, with
the mine owners, Senator Hanna or
any other members of the National
Civic Federation. Mr. Mitchell adj
mitted that he had some advice to
give to the delegates at the proper
time, but what it is ne will not say.
In an interview he said that there
vas no doubt that the sentiment of
the men is in favor or a strike, but
he refused to make any reply when
asked if he would give advice that
would come in conflict with their
sentiments. 1t is admitted that what
President Mitchell suggests will be
done Notwithstanding the fact that
majority of delegates are in favor
of strike if the mine owners do not
make any concessions.
Therefore, it looks very much as
though the whole matter rests upon
the words of the national president.
The advice that he will give the miners
is known to probably only four other
persons-the three district presidents
and National Secretary-Treasurer w.
B. Wilson, who arrived here Wednes-
day. There is probably a score of per-
sons her representing railroads. stock
brokers and others who are making
an effort to get first information. The
convention was held in the opera
house and approximately 700 delegates
were present when President Thomas
Duffy, of this district, called the meet
ing to order.
Quiet reigned everywhere in the
region Wednesday, and not 3 pound of
coal was mined anywhere.
a great crowd of mine workers
came into the town from the surround
ing villages and coal patches. They
crowded around the convention hall
waiting for information from the in
side. They were greatly disappointed
when the convention adjourned We'd
nesday without taking definite action.

RUBBER
Obtained at an
Awful Price.
Natives Captured and
Fed to CannibaIs.
Horrible Atrocities Reported
From Congo Country.

London, Jan. 3.-Captain Guy Bur
rows, who has Just retired from the
employ of the Congo Free State gov
ernment after six years service has
declared that the conditions prevailing
in the Congo Free State are disgrace
to civilization, and far worse than ever
before.
He pictured atrocities of the most
horrible character perpetrated on the
natives by officials and whites who
had concessions of rubber land. AS
typical instance of the means en-
ployed by the Free State government,
Captain Burrows corroborated the
statement of an American missionary
TO the effect that the officials employ
ed five hundred cannibals to whom
they issued rifles, to ''massacre and
capture unarmed natives who had re-
belled against their brutal methods -
Il have sworn testimony" said Bur-
rows, ''Of the Belgians handing over
natives to cannbal tribes for the ex-
press purpose of being eaten. Forced
labor prevails everywhere, and shot
gun rule Is the truest description of
the present administration"
