COY. ODELL WILL
BE RENOMINATED
WILL NOT ATTEND SARATOGA
CONVENTION AS HE BELIEVES
1T WOULD BE UNIDENTIFIED FOR
HIM TO DO so.

Saratoga, N. Y, September 21.-Not in
many years has there been two nights
prior to the assembling of a New York
state republican convention such placid
ity as exists tonight Undoubtedly this
is because by far the majority of tho
selections for the state ticket have been
practically agreed upon. Governor Odell
WILL of course, be renominated.
The contest for lieutenant governor
practically ended tonight when it was
announced that the delegations from
New York. West Chester and Erie coun-
ties had decided to go into the conven-
tien pledged for George r. Sheldon
There is little or no platform talk to-
night. The planks on trusts. the tariff.
and canals are the only ones that cause
any discussion, the tax question having
been generally outlined in the speeches
of Governor Odell. There has not as yet
been anything definitely decided on thu
trust plank except that while condemns
ing certain combinations of capital. there
will be no appeal to congress for drastic
legislation This statement is tha
authority of Mr. Platt, who added that
the draft of the plank was not complete
The tariff question the indications ara
that a very definite stand will be infin-
itessimally compared tc the damage that
will be done to American industries and
American workingmen by an opening OF
the question of the revision. Nearly all
the party leaders are here. Governor
Odell will be put in nomination by Form
er Senator Clarence Lexow Of Nyack-
Mr.. Sheldon will be nominated foS

Governor Odell sent word here tonight
that he positively would not come te

DESCRIBES THE
PELEE ERUPTION
CAPTAIN WALTER M'KAY WIT
MESSED THE LAST DISTURB
ANcE-sAYs EXPLOSION WAS
TERRIFIC.

New York, September a.-The Que
bee Steamship company's steamer Kor-
ona arrived today from the West Indies.
Among her passengers was Capt. Walker
Mckay, agent for the steamship COM
pany in the West Indies. Captain Nc
Kay said:
'I was at Fort de France August 80,
the day of the most recent eruption of
Mont Pelee. The explosion was terrific
and the rumblings and detonations were
continuous for a long time. This erup-
ton, it is estimated. caused the death of
1000 people and covered an extent of ter
ritory ten times greater than did the
great eruptions of May last. This time
the track of the disaster was beyond the
mountain ridge and spread out over the
interior. l saw the mountain in eruption.
There appeared to be numerous aper-
lures below the edge of the crater from
which the steam is elected. The great
cone is thruncated and has changed
considerably in appearance. The ma
tives were abandoning large sections OF
the country in proximity to the noun
tain. The government has warned the
people to remove their effects to high
ground in the interior in anticipation Of
a possible tidal wave.
Martinique, in the northern part is
greatly devastated, but the south is in
full blossom and is thriving. We are
shipping more freight than before the
eruption. 1t is a mistake to say the
people are starving and are crowding the
fertile parts of the island. The fact is,
that is considering so many have been
victims of the eruptions, the fugitives
are comparatively few in number. There
is no need of food supplies. she natives
will not go to work as long as they can
obtain food for soothing. There is room
for all and employment is easily OBJ
tanned"
