Kingstown, st. Vincent, July Co.
Several shocks Of earthquake were
experienced here yesterday There
was a terrific one al 9;45 in the morn
ing. II was accompanied by a loud,
rumbling, explosive sound like th'ln-
der. Furniture was set in motion
everywhere, bottles and croeiery
were thrown from shelves in shops
and several buildings were damaged.
There was no loss Of life but a great
panic prevailed. The most severe
shock lasted only ten seconds.
These shocks were probably caused
by subterannean gas or steam cx-
plosions. A few days ago it was re-
ported that the saddle between the
two craters of the Souffriere volcano
had collapsed resulting in the fall
of thousands Of cubic feet Of sand
and scoria rock into the funnel, thus
blocking the throat of the crater and
II is now claimed that the gas aud
steam. falling to find an outlet by

nal explosions and intense con
cussions.

AIs ADVICE ID LAwYERs.
Judge Tuley, of Chicago, Would Compel
Public Corporations to submit Wage
Dispute to Arbifrators.

Chicago, July so.-state legislation
requiring corporations to submit to
arbitration all industrial disputes
with their employees, where the en-
ployes wish it, under penalty Of for
feiture Of charters in case Of refusal,
was advocated by Judge Murray r..
Tuley in an address before the Hi
nois State Bar association here. It
is not compulsory arbitration be-
tween man and man which Judge Iu-
ley desires, but SO far as corporations
are concerned, he regards them as
the creatures Of the state, who may
be well required to go at least half
way in arbitration for the benefit Of
the community.

STEBBINGS Is HELD
TO THE GRAND JURY,

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 13.-The corners
jury in the matter of the death of Wal
ter a. Scott, recommended that Steb-
bings be held to the grand jury.
No charge of crime was made against
Seedlings, but the jury recommended
that the grand jury investigate the kill
ing Seedlings testified In his own be-
half at the inquest and stated that at
no time during the time Scott was strik-
ing and kicking him did he knowingly
stab him. The thought of such thing,
he said, never came to him. He said
that just before he called upon Scott,
whose Office was just across the hall
from his own, he had received letter.
This he was opening with a paper knife
when he went into SCOTS office. Steb-
bings said he was III dazed condition
from the attack of Scott, who kicked
him and pushed him from his office.
He struck at Scott but did pot know it
was with the knife Miss Myrtle Shu-
mate, Scott's stenographer, testified
practically to the same story save that
she said she heard Seedlings call Scott
a liar.
The verdict is said to be the mildest
in the history of the coroner's office.
