An appalling catastrophe has over
Bhelmed the Island of Martinique, one
that will go down in history among the
worlds greatest disasters. In this little
island there has been a volcanic erup-
tion, followed by an earthquake, which
has destroyed ST. Pierre, its principal
city, and all of the towns inhabitants.
1t was one Of those terrible outbreaks
OF natures forces which cannot be anti
eipated and which leave widespread death
and desoIat;on behind them. Such ca
lamity might come upon any of the adja-
, cent islands in the long chain which
stretches in southeasterly course from
Porto Rico wcIi-uigh to the coast of Ven
ezuela, beginning with Guadalupe and
ending with Trinidad.
Destroyed Like Pompe1i.
More than 10000 persons persisted at
st. Pierre beneath the avalanche of ire,
cinders and molten lava belched forth by
the volcano Mount Pelee. st. Pierre
and its cnyrons are buried beneath a
crust OF seething, melted rock which sud
denly overwhelmed that portion of the
island. Since the days OF POmpeii no
more horrible volcanic disaster is re-
corded. Mount Etna, in Sicily, in 1894,
killed $4,000 persons. and between co.
900 and 100000 persons persisted in the
earthquakes that followed. At NeddO,
Japan, 100000 persisted by the earth

Congress Appropriates 100000 to
Aid Sufferers in Martinique.
The United States was the first nation
to appropriate money for the relief of
the sufferers in the French West India.
Under a suspension of the rules Satur-
day the Senate unanimously passed a
bill appropriating 100000 for the re-
lief of the citizens of Martinique.
The bill authorizes the President to
purchase provisions, clothing, medicines
and other necessaries and tender them,
in the name of the government of the
United States, to the French govern
ment for the relief of her terribly af-
f1icted people and authorizes the Secre-
tary of War TO use such vessels as are
necessary for the quick transportation
of the same.

AS was expected, news now comes
from the British Island of st. Vincent
which lies directly south of Martinique,
being separated from it by the Island
of st. Lucia, that there has been a
violent volcanic outbreak, that the entire
northern end Of the island is being de-
vastated, and that it is cut off from the
southern end by streams of lava. 1t is
certain that more than 500 persons have
already persisted in the rain of lava from
the craters Of the volcano in the north
west part of the island. Streams are
dried up and in many places food and
water famine is threatened All the
plantations have been destroyed and the
ashes are two feet deep.

Inhabitants of the Whole West Indian
Group Terror-Stricken.
The whole of the West Indies is in a
ferment of terror. The inhabitants have
given way to insensate panic, fearing
eruptions of many of the volcanoes which
have been supposed to be extinct. The
crater of Mont Pelee, in Martinique, had
been extinct for fifty years, and the peo-
pie in adjoining islands believe that if
the Martinique volcano became active
all the others will also. Grief and ter
ror have seized the people where earth
uuakes have begun. Deaths in fifty
families, as a result of earthquakes, have
already occurred at st. Thomas.

thirds of all the Irvine made has been
sold to farmers. The North Dakota
regulations up to this time have not
followed the Minnesota plan, Of selling
only to farmers for the reason that last
season was practically the first year
Of sale and the institution had to make
its market, and farmers would have
left on hand a burdensome amount Of
ly expected that the reputation ac-
quired a year ago, would make such a
market as has developed: and as the
raw material was very high it was dan
gerous financially to risk a lack of sale.
Orders were therefore booked from
some dealers. 1t is probable that in
the future-now that the value<of the
plant to the farmer has been estab-
lished-that regulations will be adopted
so as to give the husbandman every adj
vantage. Farmers and others prone
to criticise the Irvine distribution must
remember that the product of the plant
involves the handling of a very large
sun of money, and that any Irvine held
over a season might entail a serious
loss. especially after a year like the
past when the raw material cost al
most double what it does in some
years: and that until the institution
had established a market that would
assure the sale CT it's Irvine it could not
afford to refuse orders that might be
necessary later to save it from disaster.

EXPOSITION OFFICIALS COMING

Secretary Reeves of the st. Louis ex-
position board has been making a trip
through the principal cities in the state
in the interest of the exposition. In
an address at Grand Forks Mr.. Reeves
said that North Dakota owed it to her
self to make a creditable exhibit as a
matter of state pride. but that wiping
out all sentiment, as a bare business
to have a poor exhibit. North Dakota
has never had a very large exhibit at
the past expositions, and practically
all of the people east of the Mississippi
are ignorant of the vast of
the state. He admitted that many
people knew North Dakota as the
great wheat state, with blizzardy win
ters. but comparatively few know. of the
varied and wonderful of the
state. At the st. Louis exposition he
said an unexcelled opportunity was Of
fered to show this state up in its proper
light, as 100000 people would have a
chance to see what North Dakota could
do every day the fair was open to the
public. North Dakota, he said, was
just beginning to realize on her assets.
The tide of immigration has just
started this way. and he attributed the
coming Of many OF the IoWans and
others from the central states to the
showing that was made by North Da-
kota at tile Buffalo exposition a year
ago.
Mr.. Reeves is expected in the city
tomorrow and a mass meeting will be
held in the evening at the city hall to
hear an address from him on the expo,
