BORCHGREVINK TALKS
FLOOR OF THE CARIBBEAN IN A
STATE OF UNREST.
Predicted an Eruption on the Island of
st. Christopher-Back From
the West Indies.

Todey's announcement of further vol
canic disturbances in Martinique. St Vim
cent and st. Christopher in the West
Indies has made DR.. c. E. Borchgrevink,
the explorer of antarctic seas and mem
Der Of the National Geographic Society's
expedition to the scene of volcanic dis
turbance, pardonably proud man.
Thursday and Friday DIR: Borchgrevink
announced certain conclusions, which were
in their general nature forecasts as WELL
| based on his study of the geological phe-
| nomena in the West Indies. These con-
illusions were:
The entire chain of islands is in state
of unrest, and the same is true of the
| basin or floor of the Caribbean sea From
what l know of volcanic phenomena and
from what l saw in Martinique and the
adjacent islands, 1 judge there is little to
warrant the belief that the disturbances
are over. In fact, L saw enough almost to
satisfy me that a recurrence of the recent
volcanic. disturbance in these islands is
not only possible. but quite probable
In this position DR.. Borchgrevink stood
quite alone, his theory of the origin of the
disturbances in the West Indies differing
radically from that of Prof. Russell. Prof
Hill and Prof. Heilprin, his associates Of
the national geographic commission. But
the news dispatches of hast night and to-
day are taken as fully jus.ifying both his
premises and his conclusions. and indi-
eating that a marked contribution to geo.
logical knowledge had been obtained
through study of these recent phenomena.
When asked to explain his theory DR.
Borchgrevink became very reticent. He
was persuaded to say, however. that the
situation in the region of the Caribbean sea
resembed nothing so much as a pot of 'por-
rige' which had cooled a little. There is
a crust on top he explained, and heat
beneath. And as you watch you will see
the gas burst through the crust, first in
this place and then in that Exactly the
same cause is at work in the West Indies.
Consequently when Mount Pelee is quiet
Soufriere is often active. and when both
are quiet St. Christopher is liable to an
eruption Indeed. my judgment is that an
eruption in the Island of st. Christopher
may reasonably be expected at any time"

Is Deafness Durable?

1t is greatly to be regretted that the medical
profession have. in the past, conveyed to the pub
lie the opinion that deafness is incurable as this
impression deters the majority Of deaf people from
seeking relief from their afiiction. But physi-
clans in way to blame for this as 1t is
only Of late that the division of medicine
into special branches has produced great an
advance in medical science that many diseases
classed as incurable are today regarded as
capable of complete cure under the application of
modern discoveries.
The treatment of ear diseases was one of the
latest branches of medicine to be taken up as a
speciality. but in spite of the attempts to reach
the pathological changes in the internal structures

the brain. carefully protected by being deeply
situated within the bony structures of the skull
behind the external ear.
1t remained for DIR. Drouet to modify the opin-
Ion Of the medical profession. both regards the
treatment and the durability Of Deafness. The
principle of the Drouet treatment consists in util-
izing the well known absorbent properties of the
| skin A preparation in the form of a crescent
ped plaster is applied behind the ear to the

MITTEE- DELAYED.
Accident Occurs Below Aqua Creek
Engineer and Fireman Badly Scald-
ed = Engine overturns.

An accident happened to the special train
that left the Baltimore and Potomac depot
last night carrying the committee of Penn
sylvanians to Charleston. s. c., to bring
back the liberty bell. 1t occurred short
distance below Aqua creek, not far from
the scene of the bold holdup of an ex-
press train a few years ago.
- The accident was caused by the bursting
of the engine, which caused a report which
was heard a long distance away. After the
explosion occurred the train passed down
the track about 200 yards and then came to
sudden stop, the engine leaving the track
and overturning. Engineer Humphrey and
Fireman Saunders were terribly scalded.
special dispatch to The Star late tn s af-
ternoon states that Humphrey and Saun-
ders, both of Richmond, were taken to
Fredericksburg and are now in the hospital
there In a critical condition. Humphrey was
thrown about sixty feet from the engine
and Saunders forty. The clothes Of both
were completely torn from them and
their escape from instant death is regarded
s almost mira culous. Three of the cars
were entirely destroyed by fire and the
track demolished for distance of nearly
2C0 yards Several of the passengers were
slightly hurt. The party left Philadelphia
yesterday morning and were to have taken
part in parade in Charleston today.

Lively Rate Of Speed.
The party occupied two Pullmans, and
these cars were not damaged. At the time the
explosion took place the train was going at
lively rate Of speed near the south end of
the Aqua creek trestle. Had the engine been
derailed on the trestle the affair might have
been attended by the loss of many lives. A
wrecking crew from Fredericksburg reached
the scene of the disaster In a short time
and cleared the tracks before this morning
The Pennsylvanians were brought back to
this city, leaving here again at 8 o'clock
this morning. While the accident delayed

ACQUITTED OF CHARGE
POLICEMAN LECTURED, HOW
EVER, FOR EXCESSIVE ZEAL.
Three Young Men, Secretaries to Rep
resentatives in Congress, the
Compliments.

Private j. E. Cats of the police force was
recently tried before the assistant city So
hcftor on the charge of brutality assaulting
Robert Haight, Charles Bowman and John
Williams, all of whom are secretaries of
representatives in Congress. 1t is alleged
that at a fire the morning of April 3, on the
ground floor Of 14fS Pennsylvania avenue,
the young men had just escaped from the
building and were standing In the street
when Officer Cats approached and told
them to move back
The men had a trunk and a valise and
told the officer that they were occupants of
the house. With an oath, the policeman It
Is alleged, pushed the men roughly back
into the crowd and kicked the trunk and
Vallse against the wall of the burning build
ing. The men had simply slipped overcoats
over their night robes in their hurry to es-
cape.
Policeman Overzealous
The officer was acquitted of the charge
of assault. In forwarding the papers to
the District Commissioners Major Sylvester
states that while the officer exercised due
diligence in obeying the order of his su-
perior as to clearing a space for the opera
lions of the fire department it is quite evil
dent that he exercised excessive zeal and
did not render aid and comfort to those who
mad come out of the burning building. where
they had been awakened from their sleep
at an early hour In the morning and were
laborlng under the excitement due to such
condition.
The police lieutenant should instruct
those OF his command who are in attendance
at nreS to see that every precaution is
taken to render service to those who may
be terrified or are laboring under temporary
excitement by reason of having escaped
from burning building or premises ad-
joining. 1t is not only the part of a police
officers duty to see that the fiermen have
ample room in which to operate, but it is
also his duty to protect property in man
ner which will cause the least inconven-
fence, and to take persons who are unduly
alarmed, as before stated, to a place of
safety, so that they will not only have
security to life and limb, but may be re-
lieved Of the excitement attending such

Persons Interested Inquire Regarding

Blair Lee and a number of other resi-
dents interested have recently written to
the District Commissioners asking as to the
time for the payment of benefits assessed
in the opening of 18th street. The city So
licitor has reported that bill is now pend
ing in the United States Senate. which has
been passed by the House of Representa-
tives, which covers the question of interest
on such assessments, and that the principal
will be due and payable in five annual in
stallment. AS to the acceptance of dedi-
cations for the opening of 10Th street the
solicitor says the question was disposed of
by the Commissioners in accepting the
awards of the jury of condemnation.

REBELLION IN SIAM
GRAVE PROPORTIONS.
Soldiers of the King Give No Quarter
Excessive Taxation Causes
Revolt.

VICTORIA, B. c., June THE Bangkok
Free Press, a copy Of which has just been
received, says the revolt along the right
bank Of the Mekong river In Siam has as
sumed grave proportions and adds:
Rumor has reached Bangkok that fear
full slaughter continues there and that the
regulars from Bangkok, who have been
sent to subdue the rebels are giving nc
quarter. Upwards Of 200 persons have been
recently shot and others wounded.
This slaughter has only excited the peo-
pie, who show vengeance for the soldiers
Of the king.
The gravity Of the situation may be
judged from the fact that more troops are
to. be dispatched in addition to those re-
Gently sent
French Interests Menaced.
1t is unfortunate, however, that the ris-
Ing is confined to the right bank Of the
Mekong and that the trouble up to now
is limited to Siamese territory.
Should the opposite bank catch the flame
the situation might become grave indeed
and the result might prove disastrous for
Siam. as the French authorities would be
bound in such an event to take active and
stringent measures to protect their own in
terests and insure the safety of their own
people.
Excessive taxation and INSCRIPTIONS and
exacting officials held responsible for
the rising.
