ENTHUSIASTICALLY RECEIVED.
President Loubet and Party Cheered
by the Russians.


Tsarskoye, Russia, May 22-The
czar and President Loubet arrived here
during the afternoon. The czar ac-
companied his guest to the palace
where President Loubet will reside
The president of France subsequently
called upon the cZar and the czarina
The French naval officers have been
accorded reception from the people
only a degree less enthusiastic than
that given to President Loubet him
self. Russian naval officers are fra
ternizing with the Frenchmen and ac-
companying them on excursions to
points of interest about ST. Peters
burg. The sight of French uniform
is everywhere the signal for an ova-
ton.
1t is considered that the French
squadron will return home by way of
Copenhagen and that in any case it
will avoid passing through the Kiel
canal
President Loubet later visited their
majesties and conversed with them for
quarter of an hour. Then he called
on the dowager empress at Gatshina.
Their majesties gave a state ban
quet in the evening in honor of Presi-
dent Loubet's visit in the magnificent
Sale des Fetes. Guests to the num-
Der of $50 were present. In his toast
to the president of France the czar
said he wished him a hearty welcome
and that he hoped his visit would af-
ford proof of the sentiments uniting
France and Russia. In his response
President Loubet said he warmly re-
ciprocated the friendly sentiments ex-
pressed by the emperor of Russia

ANGLO-AMERICAN COMBINE.
Gigantic Enterprise to Control Trade
Of West Africa.

London, May 22-In it's issue
Wednesday The Gold Coast Globe
states on authority that various ru-
mors respecting a projected combina-
ton in American hands of the West
Africa trade interests have an absolute
foundation in fact. A gigantic scheme
is only awaiting the fulfillment of one
or two incidentals to become an ac-
complished fact
The capital of this new Anglo-Amer-
lean combination will run into many
millions. and is privately subscribed
by parties who will engage In the con-
troll of the West African, British and
American interchange Of trade. 1t
will be powerful American combina-
ton, in the fullest sense of the word,
although among the members of the
original syndicate will be several of
the most prominent West African ship
pers.' The existing steamship inter-
ests probably will be included as well.

ARBITRATION ABANDONED
Anthracite Operators Decide to Fight
Miners Union !" :.


New York, May 22.-Presidents of
the coal carrying railroads in secret
session have discussed plans, says The
Herald, to break the strike of the min
ers in Pennsylvania. Every railroad
operating in the anthracite fields was
represented. ~. <'' go
mo surrender was the slogan of
the mine operators, and when the
meeting adjourned it was said the rail
roads were prepared for a protracted
struggle, in which every resource will
be brought to bear upon the strikers
Arbitration has been abandoned, and
the mine owners intend now to force
the fighting. One of the railroad pres
idents who attended said:
"Such thing as settlement of the
coal strike was never mentioned or
even suggested. The railroad compa-
MES have gone as far as they can in
granting concessions to the miners,
and they are now prepared for and ex-
pect to fight to a finish. The situation
was discussed at the conference on
that basis. What our plans are l am
not at liberty to say. They will de-
velop as time passes"
Instructions embodying the plans of
the coal operators will be forwarded to
the mine superintendent. 1t is be-
ieved that the companies intend to
send non-union men to the mines suf-
fcient in numbers to operate the prop
critics one at time.

SOUFRiERE AGAIN ACTIVE.
Second Great Eruption on the Island
~ of St. Vincent. '

Second Great Eruption on the Island
-, of St. Vincent.
Kingstown, Island of St. Vincent,
Monday, May 19-Another great erup-
tion of the Soufriere volcano occurred
last night. Throughout Sunday the
adjoining districts trembled and some
Of the shocks were felt here. Smoke
issued from the craters and assures of
the mountain and the atmosphere
throughout the Island of St. Vincent
was exceedingly hot. While the wor-
shippers were returning from church
at $50 p. M, an alarming, luminous
cloud, suddenly ascended many. miles
high, in the north of the island, and
drifted sluggishly to the northeast.
Incessant lightning fell on the noun
tain and one severe flash seemed to
strike about three miles from Kings
town. The thunderous rumblings in
the craters lasted for two hours and
then diminished until they became
mere murmurings. The remainder of
the night was clear Ashes fell from
10 o'clock until midnight. The inhab-
itants were frenzied with fear at the
time of the outbreak, dreading repe-
tition of the catastrophe which caused
such terrific loss of life on this isl
and.
They ran from the streets into the
open country, crying and praying for
preservation from another calamity.
No one on the Island of st. Vincent
slept that night.

One Guard Killed and Another Dan-
gerously Wounded.

One Guard Killed and Another Dan-
gerousIy Wounded.
Canton, O., May 22.-In mutiny at
the Starke county workhouse Guard
George Jacobs was killed and Guard
Homer Stone was dangerously shot.
"A prisoner named Gigantic did the
shooting.
Later it developed that there was
no general mutiny among the prison
ers but that one of them had secured
a revolver and opened fire on the
guards. The prisoner with the revol-
yer was Charles Gigantic, young man
recently sent up from Canton for driv-
ing a horse to death. He pulled a
revolver out Of the pocket OF a new
guard who was passing through the
workshop. He shot George Jacobs, a
former guard, but at this time foreman
for the company having contract for
prison labor. Jacobs died instantly.
Gigante then fired at Homer Stone, a
guard, struck him twice, and inflicted
wounds from which he will likely die.
Guards fired at Gigantic and there is
not much chance of his recovery.
There was much excitement among
the prisoners, but with the aid of the
local police order was restored and
none escaped.

Santiago de Cuba, May 22.-The
cere monies which took place here at
tendnnt upon the transfer of the gov
ernment of the island to the Cubans
brought thousands of people from all
parts of the province into Santiago.
Mayor Bayardi gave a banquet to
General Whitside and presented him
with cane and Cuban flag. Gener-
oil Whitside reciprocated with the gift
of a beautiful American flag The Gu
ban army paraded through the streets
Of the city and in the professions

been concealed in the mountains. All
flags in Santiago were at halfmast in
memory of General Jose Marti and the
Cuban soldiers who died in the revolu-
tion. The graves of the dead soldiers
were decorated. In the military pro-
cession were 500 mounted veterans
