A Haxer nf Fire

KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent, Sept. g. The sights in the windward district of this island resulting from the eruption of the Soufriere volcano Sept. are very interesting. The Rabacca river even now is stream of fire a quarter of a mile or more wide. The greater part of the Rabacca estate is wrapped in vapor, and there are mimic erup- tions everywhere. The river bed is continuously throwing up columns and dense clouds of steam, mud and peb- bles. The land has spread farther sea- ward and is changing considerably the appearance of the district from what it was prior. to Sept. 3. This was prob ably caused by the election that flowed down the slopes filling the sea about tho ooa Sf

FOR INCREASED TRADE.
Another Steamship Company Has Been
 Organized.

New York, Sept 9.-Increased inter est in trade with China and elsewhere in the Orient is indicated, says the IS sue of the Journal of Commerce, by the announcement that another steamship company has been formed by SSnAag finanical and shipping interests of this city. and will soon enter into com petition for commerce between Ihls port and the far east.
 The new line from New York is to De operated by the American Aslanc Steamship Go, an organization formed under the laws of Maine, with an au- thorized capital of $50O,O00.

 The ofncers of the new company are William Barclay Parsons, president; D. Leroy Dresser, president; T. Ashley Sparks, secretary and treasurer. The directors, besides the officers named, are August Belmont, O. A.. Tones Cornelius Vanderbilt and John G. Chuck Luther Kountze of Kountze Bros Vermiles. & Go, and J.

 The service will be inaugurated by the steamship Gibraltar, which has been chartered by the company. It is the intenuon of the company, however, to build it's own vessels.

MUST BE SETTLED.
The Question of Vaccination is
 Becoming Troublesome.
ATTORNEY H. R. DURANT TALKS

He Says Board of Education Must Pro.
 vide Free Vaccination-If Parents Do
 Not Comply With the Law Then
 They Can and Will Be Prosecuted to
 the Full Etxent of the Law
 ~It looks now as if the board or edu- cation was on the eve of a sharp tilt With the advocates of the anti vaccina- tlon law to determine whether or not the peoples representatives or the Anti Vaccination club shall prescribe rules governing the management of the pulp llc schools. Emboldened by the allega-s ton that the city cannot enforce the vaccination law, several people have de- term1ned to force their children into The schools without being vaocinated. and others are keeping them at home ana offering as a reason that they can- not comply with the order. Prosecutor Durant said this afternoon that before ne can do anything in the premises the board of education will have to name physicians who will yacciante free of charge children of parents who are too poor to pay. After this has been done parents and guardians of children who neglect to have their children vac- ciHateu ana comply with the school laws will be brought into court and med. In answer to a question as to what he thought regarding the validity of the law, the prosecutor re- piled that there could be no question about that. The city, he said, has all the law on its side and as soon as the board of education provided way for free vaccination for those who cannot pay the question will be takensup and, there w.. be no fooling about it. MT Durant considered the matter of too much importance to be trifled with aMI declared that as soon as the way is clear for him he intends to give those who are looking for trouble all they want of it.
 This looks like big question, though some people may not look at it in that light. Anyway, it is high time people found out whether or not they are obliged to comply with the vaccination law. If some can wink at it and boast of the exemption from the general rule in favor of their children then the law is nothing short of a humbug and should be repealed. On the other hand, if it be good thing, and very few reputable physicians doubt 1t, it should be rigidly enforced.

War Department Ont of Coal.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-The con- tractor who furnishes coal for the war department has notified Chief Clerk Scofeld that he no longer could obtain anthracite coal. He said if the depart ment could obtain anthracite he would pay the difference between the con- tract price and the price the depart ment would have to pay. Officers of the department say they cannot obtain coal and are about to purchase bitumi- nous coal. A local law prohibits black smoke in the District of Columbia, and officers of the war department are in some doubt whether the law applies to buildings used by the government.
