SPECIAL POLICE SWORN IN.
foaI Companies Preparing to Protect
Non.Union Workmen.

Pottsville, Pa, May Bottle coal
companies in this section are gathering
special policemen to protect their prop
erty, and in the event of a conflict on
Monday they will have a large body of
men in the field. The Reading COM
pany has had 1875 policemen sworn in
since Monday. These will supplement
its regular force of so policemen. All
have been ordered to report for duty
at once. 1t is known that a strike of
the pumpmen, engineers and fremen
is inevitable. With these special po-
licemen and the watchmen and special
detectives who have been already en-
ployed, the Reading company expects
to have a sufficient force to protect
any non-union hmen who may be
brought here to run the pumps.
The Saint Clair Coal company and
the Buck Mountain Coal company also
had commissions issued to a number
of special policemen. The Lehigh
Valley Coal company and the Pennsy1-
vania company each will have sworn
in SO policemen before the end of the
week and a score of other companies
will take similar action. Strike lead
ers are protesting against the action as
unnecessary. They say there will be
no violence on the part of the strikers
unless they are forced to protect them
selves.

REOPEN SEAL QUESTION.
House F~avorabIy Reports a Bill to
That Effect.

.
Washington, May 30.-The ways and
means committee Of the house has or
dered a favorable report on the bill for
a rsopening of negotiations relative to
the fur seal herds of Alaska, with a
view to the preservation of the herds
and authorizing the killing of the
greater part of the seals unless the ne
g%otiations for the permanent preserva-
ton Of the herd are successful. The
preamble of the. bill recites that the
regulations made in pursuance of the
findings of the Boring sea tribunal
have utterly failed to so protect and
preserve these herds from indecent
killing and ruinous diminution Of life
after sever years of faithful enforce
ment."
Also that this killing of 10000 to
10000 mother seals at sea by alien
hunters every year entails the cruel
and indecent starvation to death on
the islands of $4,000 to $4,000 young or
pup seals every September and Octo-
ber."
The bill empowers the president to
conclude negotiations with Great Brit
ain for a review of the regulations Gin
order to preserve the fur seal industry
of Alaska for the good of all mankind
and abate the shameful order of kill
ing nov permitted and conducted"
Pending the negotiations the bill au-
thorizes a modus vivendi prohibiting
the killing of seals except for native
food.

70 MOUNT PHEE
Newspaper Man Makes a Trip to
Within Perilously Near Crater
of Mount Pelee.
Ashes on the Mountain Soaked by
Heavy Rains and Baked Into
Sort Of Cement Walk.
Professor Hill, the Gelogist, Describes
His Expedition to Near Mount
Pelee.

Fort de France, Martinique, May 80.
The crater of Mont Pelee has been
approached within n mile. This feat
was accomplished Tuesday afternoon
by George ]. Kavanagh, an unattached
newspaper man, who had accompanied
Professor Robert T. Hill, the United
States government geologist, on his
expedition.
When Professor Hill turned south
toward st. Pierre Mr.. Kavanagh con-
tinued on past Morne Rouge. His
route seems to have been along or
ear the Gale Basse divide. He says
he descended from Morne Rouge into
the valley between Morne Rouge and
Mont Pelee. This valley was deeply
strewn with ashes. 1AZr. Kavanagh
was guided by az aged negress to
where an old footpath once led to Lake.
Palmiste, near the summit of the era
ter. There ar iron cross, 20 feet high,
was buried in ashes to within a foot
of it's top. Before him stretched up
ward the mountain slope, covered with
ashes, which, soaked by the heavy
rains and baked by the sun and vol
cane heat, looked like a cement side
walk. The whole mountain top was
shrouded in smoke.
Forgetful of the explosion of the pre-
vious night and the awful s%uddenness
of the outbursts, and tempted by the
seemingly easy ascent, he continued
upward and made photographs and
rough sketches. Mr.. Kavanagh found
the valley filled with ashes and two
great riffs, which he was afraid to ap-
proach. At 6 in the evening he turn
ed back, reaching Morne Rouge at
about 9 o'clock.
On Wednesday Mr.. Kavanagh tried
to descend to St. Pierre, but failed.
He found a little hamlet, in a valley
near the mountain, and saw about $50
dead bodies. They were not carbon
lied, nor had their clothing been burn.
ed off. Probably this valley lay near
the inner edge of the zone of blasting
flame.

HAD AN ARDUOUS TRIP.
Professor Hill Relates His Experiences
on Mont Pelee.

Tto'CSSOT FlifI Initiates tbs experiences
on Mont Pelee.
Fort de France, May 3O.-Professor
Robert T. Hill, United States govern
ment geologist and head of the exp
dition sent to Martinique by the Ma
tional Geographical society, who left
Fort de France Monday on horseback
for the volcano, returned here during
the morning. He was completely worn
out by his trip. Speaking personally
of his expedition to Mont Pelee Pro
fessor Hill said:
my attempt to examine the crater
at Mont Pelee has been futile. I sue
ceeded, however, in getting very close
to Morne Rouge. At Z o'clock Monday
night I witnessed from a point near
the ruins of st. Pierre a frightful ex-
plosion from Mont Pelee and noted the
accompanying phenomena.
while these eruptions continue no
sane man should attempt to ascend to
the crater of the volcano.
Following the Salvos of d%etonations
from the mountain gigantic mushroom
shaped columns of smoke and cinders
assembled into the clear starlit sky and
then spread in a vast sheet to the
south and directly yer my head.
Through this sheet, which extended
a distance of 10 miles from the crater,
vivid and awful lightninglike bolts
flashed with alarming frequency. They
followed distinct paths of ignition, but
were different from lightning in that
the bolts were horizontal and not per-
pendicular.
"This is indisputable evidence of the
explosive oxidation of the gases after
they left h crater. This is a most i'm
portant observation and explains. in
part, the awful catastrophe. This phe-
nomenon is entirely new in volcanic
history.
II took many photos, but do not hes
itate to acknowledge that l was ter
rifed:"

MALCOLM DEMANDED $4,000.
New Story in Connection With the Re.
cent Ford Tragedy.

SSlIl IN idSCuys
New York, May 30.-In connection
with the Ford tragedy, which occurred
recently in this city, a story hitherto
unpublished is in circulation regarding
the cause of the shooting which cost
the lives of the author, Paul Leicester
Ford, and his brother Malcolm, the
famous athlete. 1t is to the effect that
Malcolm, who was not provided for in
his fathers will, notified Paul a week
before the shooting that he must have
$4,000, which he claimed was his due
because he signed a waiver permitting
the probating of the will. He is said
to have declared he needed the money
badly and to have become much in
censed when Paul replied that he did
not have the sum or hand, adding that
he should consult other members of
the family. Malcolm is said to have
replied that one of the heirs had kept
the agreement, but that he would not
consult the others and departed with
the declaration that he would return
a week hence for the money, failing to
receive which he should resort to des-
perate measures.

continues to grow worse. In 241 vii
lagos of the Minzclinsk district, gov

Siberian merchants are loudly COM
planning that Manchuria and adjacent
ports of Siberia are flooded with
American, German, Japanese and other
foreign goods and that Russian trade
is disappearing. Energetic measures
are demanded, particularly a frontier
guard sufficient to prevent smuggling.
About 100000 pools of Russian petro-
leum have been shipped to Christiania,
Norway, where American oil has here
tofore monopolized the market.

PRAISES Taft
Former Filipino Secretary of State
Calls on President Roosevelt on
Special Mission.
Says His Object is to Correct Some
False Reports in Circulation f
Against Government.
Says Judge Taft Has Confidence of All
Right Thinking People in the
Islands.

Washington, May 30.-General Filipe
Buencamino of Manila, formerly Az
uinaldo's secretary of war, called on
HE president during the day lin com
pany with Secretary Root. General
Buencamino was taken prisoner by the
United States troops at the time Ag-
uinaldo's mother was captured, and
since that time has been at the head Of
the Federal Filipino party. He told the
president that his mission to Washing
ton was to correct some of the false
reports that have been put in circula-
ton with a view to discrediting the
work of both the civil government I'M
der Judge Taft and the army. The civil
government, he told the president, was
doing a really wonderful work for good
in the islands and it had been ably Sec
cruelties perpetrated by our soldiers,
he said, were either wholly untrue or
greatly exaggerated. The army had
conducted itself in a way to elicit
praise from all right thinking Filipi-
nos, and this, too, in the face of the
greatest temptations and p~rovocations.
Judge Taft's commission had the en-
tire confidence of all rightly disposed
natives, he said, and it was General
Buencamino's hope that Judge Taft
might be induced to remain an indefi-
mite time at the head of the civil gov
eminent The Filipinos, he said, love
Judge Taft, for he has never once de-
sceived them, and they know him to be
their friend. The general will appear
before the Philippine committee of the
senate within the next few days.

SUPPORTED BY MORGAN.
Alabama Senator Favors Pending Phil.
& @fHa . ippine Bill,

~" D.. y ~ . 49, ~ -
Washington, May 3O.-At the con.
clusion Of routine business in the sen.
ate consideration was resumed of the
Philippine government bill.
Mr.. Lodge (Mass.), in charge of the
measure, offered two or three amend
ments Of minor character, which were
ment extending to the Inhabitants the
the United States except the right to
bear arms and the right Of a trial by
jury. In answer to an inquiry by Mr..
Pettus (Ala.) Mr.. Lodge explained
that, in the opinion Of the majority Of
the committee on Philippines, it would
be unwise in the present circum-
stances to extend those rights to the
Filipinos. The amendment was agreed
to. g#'f
Mr.. Morgan (Ala.) then addressed
the senate upon the bill. He cordially
approved the general purposes of the
measure which, he said, were a decided
Improvement upon the law now in
force in the Philippines. Certain
changes. which he did not indicate,
ought to be made in the bill, but in a
general way it looked toward peace.
He read an editorial from an Alabama
newspaper which he adopted as his
own sentiments. That editorial held
that as the United States had put its
hand to the pillow in the Philippines it
could not turn back.
The instruction in the islands, Mr..
Morgan said, was broken and the duty
was left to this government to provide
a just and equitable government for
the people. Division in the councils
in this country, he believed. kept the
bolomen and ladrones in the field.
When that division was settled, peace
in the islands in a practical way would
be assured.
At the close of Mr.. Morgan's speech
Mr.. Spooner took the floor, He said
1t was remarkable that weeks had been
spent upon a bill, designed to give
greater civil government to the isl
Rnds, in denunciation of the army. He
said the speeches of the minority were
characterized by passions.
Mr.. Spooner said Mr.. Carmack in
Obliged in some observations regard
ing President Roosevelt which he Gear
mack would regret. Mr.. Spooner then
paid a tribute of praise to the presi-
dents service in Cuba.
HE has won the right to be known
as the friend of liberty" exclaimed Mr..
Spooner. @
Mr.. Spooner said he was still oppos.
ed to permanent domination Of the
Philippine islands. He had, he said,
voted against the admission of Hawaii.
He did not want to take that first long
step out into the Pacific.
