HAD A CLOSE CALL
SCIENTISTS VISIT THE VOLCANO
:. OF soUFFRIERE.
The Crater Became Active Again While
They Were Exploring the
Mountain.

JAMESTOWN, St. Vincent. Thursday.
July 10.-The English scientific commission.
headed by Doctors Anderson and Flett,
Who after Investigating the various phe-
nomena connected with the eruption Of the
sounriere volcano here, left on the 4th for
England. by way Of other West Indian
ports, noticed that the crater was SEEM
ingiy quiet. Last night, however, three dis
tinct detonations were heard here and at
Barbados, and an immense cloud of steam
issued from Souffriere This phenomenon
was preceded by earthquakes during the
past three days, which were felt all over
the colony -.-.
The commissioners had a narrow escape
curing one OF their visits to the crater.
ihey passed over a lava bed on the morn
ing or June ii. in fair weather, and ascend
ed the mountain. On the return journey.
mace during half gale of wind and a
downfall Of rain, jets of steam and mud
issued all around them from assures In the
mountain. Walking on ridge they saw on
etner side to depth of thousand feet
masses OF boiling mud throwing UP jets to
height of 800 and 400 feet. On reaching
the base of the mountain the scientists
iouno themselves in an awful predicament.
What was three hours previously a dry
rav1ne. over which they walked, was then
stream of hot mud running with tre-
mendous force. In order to cross this
stream they constructed bridge only a
few inches wide, laid from bank to bank,
across the narrowest part of the stream,
ana eventually got over in safety.
since the eruption, after every shower OF
lava, the beds to windward and leeward
of the volcanic district eject mud and
steam, sometimes hundreds Of feet high,
and dust sometimes falls heavily in and
near this district.

PFNROSE HAS A RIVAL.
Representative Connell of Pennsylva-
MIA Endorsed for the Senate.

Senator Penrose of PENNSYLVANIA has a
rival for his seat in the Senate. Represen-
tative William Connell of the eleventh dis
trict Of that state has just been nominated
for the fourth time. and was incidentally
Endorsed by his nominating convention for
the Senate.
Those who are familiar with Pennsyl-
vania politics say that this is the first indi-
cation of the hand of Mr.. Elkin in retalia-
ton for his rundown for the gubernatorial
nomination by the Quay combination.
+ Representative Connen is said to have
notified Senator Penrose at the time Elkin
was thrown over by the Quay people that
he would be in the race for the Senate
against him. The legislature elected in
Pennsylvania next fail viii select Mr.. Pen
roses successor, and the Endorsement of
the Lacka wanna district for Connell may
may not be q serious matter. This dis
trict has been particularly good to Connell.
Since it was created twenty years ago 1t
has been an alternating district until Con
nell was nominat ted In 1896 He is now
serving his third continuous term, which
breaks all records for the district.
Elkin, ii is said. has announced his nten-
ton of supporting the Pennypacker ticket.
but it is thought by those who know his
feelings, that he would not be adverse to
revenging himself on Senator Penrose for
his failure to gain the nomination for gov
ernor. Penrose. it is claimed, put SO votes
into the hands Of his friend Durham to be
used against Elkin in the state convention,
and this act did not escape Elkin's notice.

TO SUPPLANT LONG BRIDGE.
The Two Structures That Will Span
the Potomac

The work of building a. railroad bridge
across the Potomac by the Baltimore and
Potomac Railroad Company. to provide for
The tracks now resting on the Long bridge,
Is well under way. The location of al the
piers for the bridge has been marked by
piles. The caissons for the pier on which
the draw will rest are now being put in
place and some work is under way on sew
era1 portions of the bridge Only slight
changes have been made in the plans for
the structure as originally submitted to the
War Department. these changes tending to
make the bridge more slightly than at first
designed.
Congress at it's recent session increased
the cost of tho proposed highway bridge in
accordance with the recommendations Of
the board of army engineers. composed Of
Col. Allen. Capts. Burr and Beach and
Lieut. Hoffman. The appropriation bill
giving authority for this increase in cost
has not vet been certified to Col. Allen, so
that 1t has not been possible to begin the
work of providing for the construction of
the bridge. The limit of time in which this
bridge could be constructed has also been
extended two Years from February Il, 1903
The exact plans for the bridge have not
yet been determined upon. All the en-
cheering features of the structure have
been settled, so that the board which is to
have control over the construction of the
bridge is in a position to call for bids very
promptly. 1t is probable that in calling for
the bids oportunity will be allowed COM
petitors to submit their own forms of con-
struction and architecture within 1imita-
lions to strength and general design to
be prescribed by the board. 1t IS not now
known whether one two contracts will
be let for the work. One company may be
given the entire work or 1t may be restrict
ed to the superstructure, the piers to be
built by another concern.

GOING TO THE ISTHMUS.
The Marietta Ordered to Nicaraguan
Ports,

Secretary of the Navy Moody today ca
bled orders to Commander Rodgers of the
gunboat Marietta, now at Cape Haytien,
directing that vessel to proceed to Blue
fields and Greytown, Nicaragua, and report
the situation at those points by cable; then
to sail for Colon, on the Isthmus of Pan
anna, to relieve the gunboat Machias. Or
ders were also cabled to Commander Nc
Crea of the Machias directing him to pro-
coed to Cape Haytien when relieved by the
Marietta. The latter vessel is directed to
coal at Kingston Jamaica, If necessary. on
her way to Nicaragua.
The dispatch of the Marietta to Mica
ragua is a result of reports to the State
Department which indicate state of I'M
rest at the points named and the officials
deemed it desirable that the gunboat should
stop at the two towns on her voyage to the
isthmus and look into the situation.
Though it would appear from the orders
issued today that the Marietta and MachIas
are simply to change places, the officials of
the Navy Department hope that by the
time the Machias reaches Hayti affairs In
that quarter will have Quieted to such an
extent that the vessel may be ordered north
at once for a well-earned rest to officers
and crew The Machias will go to the New
York yard.
