Devastated Islands Where Death Is

Air Polluted by Unburied Dead =
Mount Pelee Still Menaces.

Like fitful monsters the volcanic noun
tains of Mount Pelee and La Soufriere
still threaten the islands of Martinique
and st. Vincent and the surrounding
seas. The terrific energy exerted the
week be ere last, when st. Pierre was
wiped out of existence and the northern
half of the island of St. Vincent was
turned into a calcined ruin, has ceased;
but the volcanoes still are active inter
mittently, now belching forth torrents of
ashes, now sending only clouds Of smoke
and yapor into the air, but at all times
dreadful, black, ugly and menacing.
st. Pierre at times rests beneath a
pail Of smoke and sulphurous, impalpa-
bic ashes. The air is hot and stihing and
the workers amid the ruins Of palaces and
huts look toward the volcano nervously,
fearing each moment that another cy-
clone of fire may shoot from the mouth
of the crater, to blast, incinerate and de-
stroy. Several times the searchers have
been driven from the ruins by sudden
and heavy eTuptions, which were power
full enough to rain down ashes in the
streets of Fort de France, ten miles dis
tant. Some of these eruptons were ac-
companied by thunder which shock the
island, and by binding flashes of light
ming. Some of the people around st.

We're driven forth again by these dis
plays and made their way to Fort de

Bodies locked in each Others arms tell
the awful story of the denths of husbands
and wives. parents and children. Moth

their tracks by the French guards; some
have been arrested and sentenced to va

sufficient to deter the human hyenas and
in the outlying districts footing still goes
on.
An official estimate of those who were
buried in the ruins of st. Pierre gives
the number at $4,000. In addition 1900
persons were drowned and became the
prey Of sharks. A fifth OF the surface OF
the island was burned and the other
four-ffihs are covered with ashes. AT

GREAT RISE IN PRICES.
Cost of Food in England Jumpe to
80 Per Cent in a Year.

Many English economists, especially
those whose sympathies are on the side
Of the working class, are disturbed by
the recent rise in the prices charged for
The neeessaries Of life in Great Britain.
The rise is particularly marked in the
centers Of population, but chiefly in Lon
don, where bread, meat. potatoes and
dairy products cost from TO 30 per cent
more than a year ago, while fresh vege-
tables have mounted entirely beyond the
reach Of the ordinary purse.
Henry Sell. the well-known CONNER
cial expert, declares that a strong i'm
preston exists that the whole civilized
world is entering on a period Of higher
prices that is likely to increase the cost
Of living far above the level Of the past
twenty years. The situation, 50 far as it
affects Great Britain. H. causing deep
concern, since authoritative inquiries
have demonstrated that one-third OF the
whole population Of the islands does not
receive sufficient wages for the bare re-
quiremeits Of physical efficiency.

OUR FRIEND IN NEED.
ROCHAMBEAu, GALLANT FRENCH
SOLDIER AND PATRIOT.
He Was the Salvation of This Country
in the Revolutionary war-A SpIeu-
did Statue Unveiled to His Memory
in the City of Washington.

The unveiling of the Rochambeau mon
umeat, in honor Of the distinguished
French soldier who commanded the
French forces in this country during our
Revolutionary struggle, was carried out
in Washington Saturday with imposing
official aud military display. 1t was the
occasion Of a remarkable gathering Of
Americans and Frenchmen, in which the
civil government and representatives Of
tie army and navy of both nations unit
ed 10 do homage TO the memory of a
great soldier and patriot.
The statue stands in the southwest cor
ner of Lafayette square, near the State,
War and Navy Departments, and is a
companion piece TO the Lafayette memo
rial, erected in the southeast corner of
the same public park. The statue, which
is Of bronze, is a replica Of the memorial
which was unveiled a couple OF years
ago to Rochambeau at Vendome, France.

Sir Julian Pauncefote has long been
highly regarded in this country as Brit
ish ambassador, which position he took
in 1898. He had been the recipient Of
unusual honors here for fifteen years.
Lord Pauncefote. as the head of the
British delegation to the peace conference
at The Hague. was one Of the r'ost at
tractiye and interesting figures. A firm
believer in peace himself, he had done
much to avert a resort TO arms and TO
bring about universal peace.
He was born at Munich in IS2S, and
was education in Paris and Geneva. He
received a legal training and had judi
cial experience He became a lawyer
at Hongkong, and was made Attorney
General of that colony in 1865. In 1874
he was made lord chief justice of the
Leeward Islands. and was knighted.
From 1874 to 1882 he acted as legal as
sistant to the under secretary of state,
first in the colonial Office and then in the
foreign office. He became virtually per-
manent foreign minister of England in
1882.
In 1885 he was appointed delegate to

The matter created a good deal of en-

date for the unwilling was determined
on President Loubet appointed a mis-
sion to represent the French people and
designated the Gaulois, one of she most
formidable battleships In the French
navy, TO convey the government repre-
sentatives TO this country. These repre-
sentatives numbered eleven, OF WHOM
Gen. Brugere, commander-in-chief Of the
French army, and Vice Admiral -Four
nier were the highest in official rank.
Among our Invited guests were Count
SGhune de Lafayette, a descendant of
Gen. Lafayette, the impulsive and liber-
ty-loving Frenchman, who fought with
Washington. and the Count and Countess
de Rochambeau, the former descendant
of the hero of Yorktown.
What We Owe to France.
The part which Rochambeau took in
the Revolutionary war was an important
one and Il can, perhaps, with justice be
said that were il not for the French mid
which he brought us the cause of the
colonists would have been lost. Rocham-
beau was the direct representative OF
King Louis XVI and he came here with
5000 soldiers and a fleet He was then
a veteran soldier and one Of the great
military captains Of his age.
When he landed here the time was one
of great encouragement for Washing
ton and the colonial forces. The army
had been lighting 1oggedly and with in
different suceees. 1t had been through
the terrible winter at Valley Forge, the
soldiers were poorly clothed and were
behind fully line months in their pay.
Rochambeau landed at Newport July
217SQ, and promptly entrenehed his
army. He realized at once the critical
cor1s;ivIa ~ the American struggle and
Immediately dispatched his SON Col R0-
Jhamhe:,4, TO France, TO urge upon the
King the necessity of money and more
soldiers. Col. Rochambeau succeeded in
breaking the British blockade, which was
maintained at all the Atlantic coast
ports, and reached France safely. Early

Americans Are the Greatest Nation of
RoIliug-Stones on Earth.


Study of the recent United States cen
sus shows some remarkably interesting
facts, and among them the one that we
are the greatest nation of rolling stones
on the EARTH but, n, withstanding that
fact, we succeed in gathering the moss
Of material prosperity.
The official figures show that out Of
native-born population of 65,S43, 1902.
there are 13,S63.65 living in States diff
ferent from those in which they were
born. That is. more than one person
out of five has left the State of his birth
to seek his fortune elsewhere.
If we count the 10,469, 1875 foreign
born residents, we find that about one
third of the population has moved from
the State or country of BIRTH These
figures show our mobility to be in the
ratio of 10 TO /, as compared with II at
of Europe.
The State of New York has sent ont
/ 100000 of her children, who are now
residing in other States, and has receiv-
ed from other States in their stead 534,-
600 residents. Vermont has a most re-
markable record. which shows that she
has children living in other States equal
in number to one-half Of her present pop

At last the final returns of the crops
Of 1901 have been officially announced
by Statistician Hyde of the Department
of A gricuiture. They present larger
yields of all grains than any of the pri-
vate statisticians, more than confirming
their estimates. which many in the trade
have been slow to accept. Mr.. Hyde
says: In the preparation Of this report
all proper weight has been given to the
recently published census report on the
crops of 1899"
An analysis Of the report shows that
increased yields of all grains over he
popular estimates are due to the incfeas-
ed acreage being given. In corn the area
is 100000 acres over that given TO the
also shows 100000 acres over that es-
timated at the beginning OF the crop
year. and oats are increased about 2,0p0.-
900 acres. The yield OF wheat is 21iD0,-

data estimated in September. 1901, and
100000 bushels over the bumper crop
OF 1898. and DOG. 900. 900 bushels in OK
