LA SOUFRIERE
STILL IN ERUPTION.
Feared That Island of ST. Vincent Is Doomed to
Destruct1or'~--Iwo Thousand Reported Dead
--latest Reports from St. Pierre.

Castries. Island of St. Lucia, Nav
1.-THE Soufriefe volcano on the is
land of St. Vincent is still in destruc-
tive eruption. A terrific cannonade can
be heard hundred miles away. The
reports are followed by columns of
smoke, rising miles in the air. I'm
mense balls of colored fire also issue
from the crater. lightning is play
ing fiercely in the upper sky and the
whole northern part of the island is
one mess of travelling flame. 1t is i'm
possible to reach the burning district
by land or sea, and there are no means
of estimating the destruction wrought
to life and property.
Two Thousand Dead.
At Kingston, the capital of the is
land, the ashes were two inches
deep. Seven hundred dead were re-
ported Sunday, May II. It is esti-
mated that the total number of
deaths on St. Vincent will reach
1000. Most of the seven estates on
the island have been burned to ashes
and it is automatically reported that
two earthquakes occurred there. It
is believed the submarine cables in
St. Vincent have been broken by
the disturbances. The present vol
canic eruption on St. Vincent is the
first since 1912.
Situation in st. Vincent.
London, May 15.-The governor of
the Windward islands, Sir Robert
Llewelyn, telegraphs to the colonial
office from the island of St. Vincent,
under date of Tuesday, May 10, as fol-
lows:
II arrived here yesterday and found the
state of affairs much worse than had been
stated. The administrators reports show
that the country on the east coast between
Robin Rock and Georgetown was appar-
entity struck and devastated in manner
similar to that which DESTROYED ST.. Pierre,
and 1 fear that practically all living things
In that radius were killed. Probably 1900
persons lost their lives. The exact number
will never be known. Managers and owners
of the estates, with their families, and
several of the better class of people have
been killed. A thousand bodies have been
found and buried. One hundred and sixty
persons are in the hospital at Georgetown.
Probably only six of this number will re-
cover
THE details of the disaster are too har-
rowing for description.
Il got, at St. Lucia, coasting steamer,
which is running up and down the leeward
coast with water and provisions. Twenty
two hundred persons have received relief.
II have asked for medical officers from
Trinidad and Grenada. All the neighboring
British colonies are assisting generously.
Every effort is being made to grapple with
the awful calamity.
"All the beet sugar estates in the Carib
country are devastated and the cattle are
dead.
THE eruption continues but is apparently
cloderating.
ANXIETY is still felt. All the officers and
residents are cooperating with me. The
ladies are making clothing"

Thomas a. Edison thinks that San
tos-Dumont has solved the airship
problem, and Santos believes that with
$1,0O0,000 he can construct an airship
that will cross the ocean in two days
and carry 100 passengers. His air ships
may be one of the marvellous inventions
of the present century, but we are in
clined to the belief that they will never
be the popular method of transporta-
ton over the oceans.

An idea of the tremendous effort
making by the Russian government to
relieve it's famine sufferers is con-
tanned in report to the state depart

at St. Petersburg, showing that last
year the government expended $13,-
370,270 in this relief work. It now has
on hand half billion pounds of grain,
but must make further extensive pur-
chases, and will require cattle, horses
and seed to the value of an additional

Wages Increased,

Louisville, KY, May 15.-On ac-
count of the increase in the cost Of
living, the Continental Tobacco CON-
pany, through it's vice president, c..
E. Hallewill, of New York, has or
dered an increase of 10 per cent. in
the wages of all its Louisville em-
ployes under the rank, who will
number more than 5000. The ill.,
crease will add $500 to the weekly

1t is said the order of the company
is general, and the 10000 to $4,000
employees throughout the United
States will be benefited equally.

American literature loses one of it's

His place in this literature does not
rest either upon the fact that he wrote
voluminously or that he enjoyed a
long and deserved popularity, but is
due to his originality and the dis

Don't eat meat for breakfast" is
the new cry of those in search of per-
feet health, and it is being pointed out
that the time to eat meat is after hard
work and not before it. Perhaps the
extremely high price of beef will be
good thing after all, and will teach the
Americans that they have been eating
altogether too much meat.

Measure Passes to Aid Sufferers in
the West Indies.
Washington, May 10. - The house
passed by an overwhelming vote a
bill granting 100000 for the relief
of the sufferers in the great calamity
in the West Indies. The bill was a
substitute for the relief measure
passed by the senate, and followed the
receipt of message from the presi-
dent setting forth the magnitude of
the calamity, and urging an appropri-
alton of $500,000. A special me ting of

it was reported to the house within a

amount was limited to 100000 owing
