There was a hilarious time at the Y M, C. A. debating club aStnight. The moot court got Into session carly In the meeting and Judge Dillon was on the bench. E. M.

DEFENDED
Phelps Is a Painstaking and
 Conscientious Lawyer.
To the Editor of rh. Daily Alaskan:

To the Editor of The Daily Alaskan;
 Slr:-Assumlng, of course, that you have no desire to do an Injury to an lndl- vldual, kindly allow ne space In the Alaskan, for the purpose of correcting "A Fun Account of West.Levln Trlal," which appeared In your paper of the 9th inst. When the prisoners, West and Lev In, were araIgned before MT. Taylor, the judge who held the preliminary trial, they pleaded mot guilty" and asked for an ai' joumment for the purpose of consulting counsel.
 Mr. Phelps was sent for, and on looking into the charge and the evidence In the case. advised his clients to amend their plea to "rulltv." This brought the deter. imitation of the matter within the jurlsdle- tlon of Mr. Taylor, who was sitting as po- lice magistrate. The Canadian criminal code provides that magistrate may have and determine cases of theft, where the property does not exceed sIo in value, without th. consent of the accused. fl, however. the property exceeds sIo In val- ue ana the accused does not consent to be tried by the magistrate, or if he does con sent to be tried by the magistrate and pleads mot guilty" then the magistrate cannot dispose of It summarllv. But if he finds sufficient evidence to place the ae- eused on trial, must remand him to goal, 10 be tried by judge of the superior court.
 In this case the property stolen amount cd to many hundred dollars In value. lt was stolen from dwelling, Some of the stolen property was found on the person of each of the accused; pat of the propertv was found cached In an out building near the place where West roomed and some of the missing articles were re- covered only after the prisoners were sem tened. The penalty for theft of this nature Is fourteen wears; had Mr. Phelps not withdrawn their plea of mot guilty" the prisoners must have gone for trial be- fore one ot the judges of the Supreme court, who In passing sentence would not have been affected to the same extent as was Judge Tavlor, by the strong and in- fluentially slgn:d local petition presented by Mir. Phelphs. and there Is not reason able doubt but the sentence would have been at least two years for Levin and from three 10 five years for West. Judge Taylor was. by reason of Mir, Phelps plea for the prisoners, in a position 10 give every consideration 10 their previous good conduct and reputation. And it Is but fair to say through the Alaskan that MT. Phelps Is not a 'josh' Ion the profes- slon," he Is a very palnst king, careful and cons entious Lawyer, and it.is the in- telligent opinion Of those acquainted with all the facts oi this unfortunate case in White Horse that lt was handled in a most eredtabe manner and with such ad' vantage to his clients, that a certain long term of imprisonment was reduced to one and three months. Thanking you in ad vance.
 Yours truly,
 T. W. Jackson.

here with 138 refugees, 20 hours from Fort de France, Martinique, says Port of Spain (Trinidad) dispatch to the Herald. She brings this account of an event which is alleged to have preceded the disaster at St. Pierre, told, it is said, by person who was aboard the schooner Gabrielle:
 A scientific commission, presided over by the governor, NJ. Mottet, as sembled in St. Pierre on May 7, the day before the calamity, for the pur- pose of studying the phenomena or the volcanic disturbances of Mont Pelee It was agreed by the members of this commission that the relative position of the craters and the val leys debouching on the sea were such that the scientists could affirm that the security of St. Pierre was com plete, and this announcement was made to allay the fears of the fright ened citizens.
 The sun rose over St. Pierre at six o'clock on the morning of May 9. The Mont Pelee was smoking from the north. and the wind was blowing westward. A few minutes before sev- en o'cock a great white column of what seemed steam and gas belched forth from an apparently new crater on Mont Pelee, which seemed to be about two hundred yards from the original crater, and which appeared to open up a deep rent from the top to the bottom of the mountain. This outbreak caused the utmost consternation and panic among the inhabitants of St. Pierre, who fled toward the seashore uttering fright full screams, in anticipation, evident ly, of what was to follow.
 Those on the Gabrielle observed small steam yacht leave St. Pierre at ten minutes after seven o'clock with the governor and members of the scientific commission on board. The yacht steamed toward Le Precheur.

A VISIT TO ST. PIERRE.
What Correspondent Saw On a
 Visit To the Ruins.

Castries, Island of St. Lucia, Tues day, May 13.-A press correspondent here has visited St Pierre, Martinique, by the relieving steamer Kenneth. The streets are two feet deep in ash es and cinders, which cover thou sands of dead bodies, scorched black and shiny as if they hadbeen plunged into boiling pitch. Many of the dead were never touched by the volcanic fire and some of the houses and woodwork destroyed show no signs of burning.
 Action of Intense Heat.
 At Moudlage, in the southwestern portion of St. Pierre, the town hall is still standing as high as the first story, while at the fort, in the northwestern part of St. Pierre, the
 The church tower, built by the Jesuits two centuries ago, of Cyclo- pean mason work, is now like q huge heap of old metal.
 Soldiers Guarding Property.
 Soldiers are guarding property from prowling ghouls, who are rob- Ibing the dead. They meet with se- rere punishment when caught. The stench throughout St. Pierre is ter .ibly offensive. The streets are still Dbstrueted by huge piles of debris and dead bodies. The work of clear ing the thoroughfares will necessi tate the employment of large num- bers of men for many months.
 The Crater still Active,
 Moudlage Rouge, near St. Pierre, is preserved, and Basse Pointe and Ma coube are yet unhurt, but the crater is still active and smoke and ashes are blowing steadily northward.
 The surviving inhabitants are try ing to cross from St. Pierre to the island of Dominica in boats. Many drowning casualties are reported.
 Assistance is constantly arriving at Fort de France from all the neigh boring islands.
