DESERVING, FORT De FRANCE.
Those That Have Not Left Are Anx.
ious to Go-Morne Rouge
Evacuated.

Fort De France, May 23.-The re
cent rains Of ashes and volcano rocks
weighing as much as IS grammes
which have fallen here caused SO
much CONSERVATION among the inhab.
itants Of Fort de France that those
who have not left the city are anxious
to do so, and large numbers are emf
grating to the island of Guadeloupe,
where. it Is estimated here, 1900 peo-
pie from Martinique have already
sought shelter.
During her last exploring trip about
the island, the French cruiser Suchet
which did not stop at st. Pierre, no
ticed that all the formerly cultivated
land between Grande REVERE and
Marigot has been completely de
stroyed. The inhabitants Of those
two towns have suffered and are still
suffering great deal, but they have
not yet determined to abandon those
localities, and efforts are being made
to supply them with provisions.
The Suchet also reported that as
she approached that part Of the
island where the land was in better
state OF preservation, especially be
tween Macouba and Lorraine, a
shower Of stones and sulphur caused
those of the population Of Morne
Rouge who had remained there to
hastily evacuate that place.
The French gunboat Joffroy took
on board about $50 Of the inhabitants
OF the neighborhood Of lie Carbet.
1t was estimated that about 5000
persons by last night would have left
Fort de France for the extreme south
ern part Of the island.

WICKED AND FOOLISH
Chapter In Our History, Hoar
Declared Philippine
Policy.
FUHSTOA'S TAKING ACUIEALDO
Might Have Prevented His ConfIrma-
tion, IL Methods by Which He Did
1t Had Been Known-Senate and
Galleries AppIauded Speech.

Washington, May ga notable
contribution to the discussion of the
Philippine question was made in the
senate yesterday by Mr.. Hoar, OF
Massachusetts. His views on the
subject are well understood, but his
expression Of them yesterday was
profoundly interesting and even i'm
pressive. When the venerable sena-
tor began to speak every senator at
the capitol was in his seat, and for
the two hours and half his address
consumed he was accorded the most
careful attention, not only by his COZ
leagues on the floor, but also by the
people in the thronged galleries.
Mr.. Hoar confined himself closely
to his manuscript. He denounced the
attitude of the government in the
Philippines as one of the most wicked
and foolish chapters In American his
tory. He urged that the United
States should withdraw from the
islands and permit the people there
to erect their own government, as
had been done in Cuba. He sharply
arraigned General Funston for the
methods he had pursued in the cap,
ture Of Aguinaldo, and intimated
strongly that had the senate been
aware Of the facts Funston might not
have been confirmed in his recent
promotion. He hoped that as the IT.
revocable step had not been taken by
the United States better counsels
would yet prevail and that this gov.
eminent would leave the Philippines
Spontaneous applause swept over
the senate and the galleries at the
conclusion Of the speech. Such a
demonstration is unusual on the floor
OF the senate. So pronounced was II
that the presiding officer called the
attention of senators to the rule pro,
hibiting any expression Of approval
or disapproval.
Mr.. Teller, Of Colorado, delivered a
speech in the nature Of history of
the legislative proceedings through
which the new Cuban republic was
erected.

C. P. ASSEMBLY ADJOURNED,
Theological Seminary Question Set
tled-Next Meeting to BE In
Nashville, Tenn.

Springfield, Mo-, May 23.-The Cum.
berland Presbyterian general assem-
bly, was treated to a parliamentary
surprise yesterday morning, when q
motion prevailed, 135 to 20, to table
the whole home mission board mat
ter, including the majority and mi
nority reports and President Fuller
tons substitute for both. The matter
is thus left in the same status as pre-.
viously. The leaders on both sides
OF the question are much displeased
and reconsideration may occur
The devotional exercises yesterday
were in the nature of memorial ser.
vice for Mrs. William Kelly, who died
recently in China, the first Cumber-
land Presbyterian missionary to die
in service since the war.
The ways and means committee an.
nounced that it could pay only "a per
cent of the commissioners travelling
expenses.
A rule adopted in 1899 taking from
the boards and per- ~nent commit
tees the rigLt t. nO--iLa.e their own
members and comforting this right on
the assembly was rescinded almost
unanimously.
Should Not Hold Membership.
The assembly determined that a
minister, being member of the pres
bytery, should not hold membership
in any particular church.
The clerk was authorized to send
greetings to the Northern Presby.
terian assembly at New York and to
the southern assembly at Jackson,
Miss.
Much enthusiasm was aroused at
the close of the morning session by
the announcement that the theologi-
cal seminary committee had reached
a unanimous understanding on a re.
port.
Early in the afternoon session the
theological seminary matter was
taken up and report was adopted.
upon which, during the morning, the
theological seminary committee had
agreed. This report appoints a new
committee to settle the matter with
the trustees Of Cumberland uni
versity, the general assembly's right
being conserved and every effort
made to promote the seminary's in
terests. A commission was appoint
ed to prepare an exhibit for the St
Loris worlds fair.
Numerous standing committees
were appointed. twenty-five dele
gates were elected to the Pan-Presby-
terrain council at Liverpool, in July,
1904.
At 8 o'clock last night the seventy
second general assembly adjourned.
The assembly will meet at Nash
vile, Tenn, in May, 1903.

MARKET Was IRREGULAR.
Anxiety Over Coal Strike Because Of
implies Threat Of Engineers,
Fl~+S7w and Pumpmen.

fs~c srk, May 23.-The stock mar
ktt was extremely irregular through
out and closed with that tendency
rather emphasized yesterday. The
same stocks changed their course in
some cases and the prevailing dispo-
sition Of the speculation was hard
to distinguish, and was, fact, much
confused and mixed. The anxiety
over the coal strike was rather
deeper, on account Of the implied
threat OF the engineers, fremen and
pump-runners in the anthracite mi 1es
to come out, unless an eighthour lay
Is granted them. This would bring
the struggle to an acute stage, as the
safety Of the mines is dependent upon
this work being done.

by the members of his cabinet and
by officials high in all branches OF the
government, President Roosevelt yes

sent by President Loubet to take part
in the Rochambeau exercises. The
arrival in the city Of the brilliantly
uniformed French army and navy Of
ficers and their escort through Penn
sylvania avenue by a troop of United
States cavalry gave picturesque in
terest to the occasion, and to this
was added the international signif
canoe of an extremely cordial ex
change of greetings between the rep
resentatives Of the two nations. At
ter the presidents reception at the
White House the French visitors ex-
changed calls with members Of the
cabinet and Lieutenant General
Miles and Admiral Dewey. Yester-

MANY communications have recently
been received by Mr.. Herman j. Ba-

Maryland Bureau OF immigration, ir-
curing for full particulars concerning
the marsh lands of this State, says the
Baltimore Sun.
Mr. Badenhoop said yesterday that
in each case the writer's stated that.
could they secure tracts or these
marshes at n reasonable figure, they
would come here with the intention of
planting our branch willows. Mr.. Ba-
denhoop is jubilant at the prospects of
this being accomplished, and thinks
that a most perpleXing problem can
thus be solved.

industry has grown to be one OF the
best paying features of forestry I'm
