When Mr.. Lodge asked that II time
be set for vote Mr. Culberson inquir-
ed if Mr. Lodge could give any idea
OF the scope of the inquiry now being

when the inquiry would be concluded.
Mr.. Lodge said he thought the in

Entirely unaffected by the DISPOSE
tion of the bill," replied Mr.. Lodge.
Some discussion followed as to the
time of taking the final vote on the

THE SCARE IS SUBaD|NC
People of Fort de France are Recoy-
ering from Their Panic Of
Monday Last.
Governor Reports that Cinders and
Scoris from Pelee Fell Only in
Northern Part.
Fears EExpressed for the Safety Of
Geologist Hill and Explorer
/. . George Kennan.

Paris, May 29.-The governor OF
Martinique, M. L'Heurre, cables from
Fort de, France confirming the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches announcing
that fresh eruption of Mont Pelee
occurred during the evening Of Mon
day, May 26, causing great panic at
Fort de France. The cinders and SEQ
ria, however, the governor added, did
not touch the town, falling entirely on
the north of the island. Calm is now
restored at Fort de France.
The governor abandoned his pro
posed visit to the devastated places on
the island, owing to the torrential rain
fall and rough sea. Several craters,
the governor further reported, were
vomiting thick smoke.
Another eruption of Mont Pelee oc-
CURED as the French cruiser Tage
passed St. Pierre recently, resulting in
sudden flow of mud from the bed of
the river Blanche.
The governor concludes that his lat
est visit to St. Pierre confirms the pre-
vious reports that the southern portion
of that town was apparently destroyed
by an inexplicable phenomenon re-
sembling frightful hurricane, which
swept from north to south. The fall
of scoria formed a layer a foot deep.
The northern part of the town is bu-
ried under a bed of mud. It is impos-
sible to adequately describe the DESC
lation at st. Pierre.

DISPERSED BY POLICE.
Strikers Threaten Non.Union Stock
Yards Teamsters.

Chicago. May 29.-An attempt by
strikers t. curtail the meat supply of
down town hotels and restaurants was
frustrated by the police. Responding
to riot call a patrol wagon filled with
policemen dashed over bridge lead
ing to the Northwestern station and
charged crowd of striking team
sters, who had surrounded four drivers
for Swift & Co., and threatened them
with bodily injury. The crowd was
dispersed and in a short time the po-
lice were in full possession. There
were no arrests.
Later in the day the striking packing
house teamsters took steps to- extend
the strike. Orders went out from the
teamsters' headquarters that no coal
should be delivered to concerns max
ing ice to refrigerate meat for unfair
butcher shops or packing houses. This
development promises the most com
plete tieup of teaming deliveries ever
experienced in Chicago.

Work at saltwater, MINI.
Saltwater, Mimi, May 29.-Twelve
hundred men employed in the sawmills
on the ST. Croix river have gone out
on strike to enforce demand for
10-hour day without reduction of pay
1t is expected that about 1000 work
men employed on the boom and rafting
crews will also go out in sympathy
with the strikers and to secure similar
concessions for themselves.
All mills along the river, except
those at Hudson, are now idle. It is
expected that if prolonged the strike
will prove costly. This is the period
of the year when logs are being
brought down in great quantities from
the woods to the mills and a suspen-
sion of work until the warm weather
when the river goes down. would mean
the loss of thousands Of dollars to the
mill owners and contractors. The sit
uation is regarded with anxiety.

TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, May 29.-Price Current
came out rather bearish announcing
that crop conditions had been fully
maintained to shade better. i This
with similar reports and ideal weather
gave NO encouragement for. inv estment,
and as in the case of yesterday the
bears again took advantage and threw
more ON the market than it could take
care of. Offsetting this, is an unusu-
ally large short interest by outsiders,
a good cash demand both domestic and
foreign, continued light receipts and
a visible supply of 12,0OO,OOO less than
this time year ago. 1t is a conceded
fact that the orient will draw heavily
upon our 1902 crop and that this de-
mand will more than double from yeal
to year. We are on an exporting basis
and as soon as the shorts have ex-
hausted their efforts sharp turn will
be but natural. This may not be for
a few days but is surely strong prob
ability. -,
Corn was fully as depressed as was
wheat The trade has lost sight of
statistics and are basing their commit
ments upon prospects. Receipts at
Chicago were 226 cars which were a
surprise even to the bears. The Price
Current mentions corn having an ex-
cellent start but cut worms are quite
prevalent.
Oats held quite firm, selling but a
shade under yesterdays prices.
Provisions are waiting market, in
terest being insufficient to justify new
commitments over the holidays. It
will perhaps be prudent to pass them
up until Monday when we look for a
more active market. -s

OFFENDED AN ELEPHANT,
Visitor to Forepaugh's Circus Meets a
Violent Death.


New York, May 29.-"Tops.". a fe.
male elephant of the Forepaugh &
Sells circus, killed a man at the show
ground of the circus in Brooklyn. He
was Joseph Blount of Fort Wayne,
Ind. He went to the elephants enclo.
sure, where the animals were waiting
for their breakfast, and each stuck out
his trunk to shake hands as Blount
passed down in front of them, it being
the custom of the trainers to salute
each elephant with gentle tap.
Blount had beer glass in his hano
and when he approached "Tops" he
thrust it at her. The act seemed to
offend her and she seized him with her
trunk and after hurting him violently
to the ground knelt on him and crush
ed him to death. The trainers drove
''Tops" back and removed the body.

RESIDENTS TERRoR-sTRIckEN.
Desert Morne Rouge During the Last
ERUPTION.


New York, May 29-Mont Pelee,
from which there was another violent
eruption on Monday, was quiet again
Tuesday night, according to a Herald
dispatch from Fort de France. But,
the dispatch adds, the inhabitants of
the island are in terrified state.
The volcano is puzzling all the sci
entists, some of whom say the noun
tain has thus far made only a begin
ming.
Morne Rouge was saved from de-
struction only by a miracle, says a
priest who was there.
Two correspondents, believing the
volcano had for time, at least, sub
sided, planned an expedition to the
mountain for the purpose of securing
photographs. Several natives were
employed as guides.
After wearying march, which took
most of Monday, Morne Rouge was
reached about 7:30 in the evening.
The correspondents were welcomed by
a kindly disposed priest, who gave
such information as was in his pos
session. He insisted upon pause be-
ing made for refreshments and in his
humble home food was prepared 1t
was this generous courtesy of the
priest that saved the expedition from
destruction. The original plan was
that the visit should be made to the
crater as soon as possible and a quick
return be made to Fort de France to
avoid all danger.
While their meal was being prepar-
ed, the priest pointed out the work of
ruin that had been accomplished. He
col hn ho1 tD -;
though he was not at all certain Morne
Rouge would not be swept from ex,
istence as was St. Pierre. 1t was while
he was talking that the explosion
came
From thei~ homes the inhabitants of
the village ran in a panic. Some did
not wait to see what was happening but
Hurried Over the Mountains
in the direction of Fort de France.
Scores went into the church and fell
upon their knees, but by far the great
er numbsr ran without daring to look
behind.
The display of lightning was terrific
and awe-insriring.
When the start was made on the re-
turn trip to Fort de France, the guides
and servants were gone. The CORE
spondents had to find their way across
the hills as best the could. Behind,
Mont Pelee continued to belch fire,
ashes, smoke and mud. The detona-
tions were of sufficient strength to
make the ground tremble. 1t seemed
to the weary travellers as if the noun
tain tops swayed above their heads.
On all sides were natives praying
and cursing in turn. Many, exhausted,
fell by the way and were unable to con-
tinue.
From Morne Rouge to Fort de
France by the devious path that was
travelled was almost 40 miles. That
distance was covered before dawn
Tuesday morning. g. s<
Later arrivals reported that Morne
Rouge had not been destroyed, as the
force of the explosion was exerted in
the direction of the sea.
Robert T. Hill of the United States
geological survey, who left here for
Mont Pelee Monday afternoon, has not
yet returned, nor has he been heard
from. He planned to try the crater
from Morne Rouge.
George Kennan, the noted explorer,
has been absent in the north five days
and has not been heard from.

THE anthracite miners" continued
Mr.. Sargent, asked very little and
were willing to make concessions, but
the attitude of the operators from the
start was such that I did not hesitate
to suggest the strike to John Mitchell,
president of the Vnited Mine Workers
OF America. I do not see at this time
any hope of compromise.
"The coal barons believe they are
masters of the situation while the
workingmen are equally confident of
their strength and their chances of
success. ..
There are 10000 men idle as re-
suit of the strike.
There are between 425, 900 and 45O,-
600 soft coal miners in the country and
not one union in my judgment would
hesitate moment to respond favor
ably to a call for general strike"
