REV, S, {, BISHOP
ON MONT PELEE

EDITOR STAR am feeling rather
troubled about this repetition of erup-
lions at Martinique, and have much
apprehension that worse may follow.
The crater of Mont Pelee began with
rarely violent and destructive eruption
on May Sth. We now hear of a fourth
or fifth repetition of the like on Aug
ust goth. The last one seems to have
equalled the first in violence. For the
past two or three days the glows have
renewed their briliancy here, evident
ly in consequence of that last eruption.
My fear Of worse to come is suggest
ed by the history of giant explosion of
KrakataO in the Straits of Sunda in
August, 1888 That vast eruption was
preceded by a series of explosions dur
ing several months such as have been
devastating Martinique. The course of
events at that time was evidently as
follows: Krakatao. a long extinct era
ter, beinu on an island of small area,
the waters of the ocean found access
through assures to the hot interior of
the earth-Crust beneath, and eXplOs-
ions of steam followed. These convul-
sions continued to enlarge the fractures
| of the crust; a succession of explosions
! ensued; finally so large an opening
was created that the sea in an enor-
| nous volume rushed in upon the fiery
| magma below; after a few hours of in
| terval churning of the lava and the wa
| ter, the steam-force overcame the sea-
| pressure, and a dozen cubic miles of
! elections were driven fifty miles aloft,
and spread over hundreds of miles in
diameter of area. The whole was the
| greatest eruption ever observed by in
telligent witnesses.
| Do these successive eruptions in Mar
! Unique pOrtends a similarly vast catas-
| trOphe? 1t seems to me quite possible.
! The frequency and continuity of the
! Pelee eruptions strangely resemble the
! earlier eruptiOns of Krakatao. The
earth-crust at Martinique is evidently
| suffering severe strains and tending to
become shattered. The latest eruption
| there was attended by much larger
| tidal wave than before, indicating
severe earthquake. Martinique is
small island, though larger than was
! Krakatao. Hence access can easily be
found to it's interior by the sea. The
| average chances would seem to be,
| that more explosions will continue to
occur. and probably of increased vio-
! lence. There is unlikely to be a giant
| explosion like Krakatao, but not inn
| probably such violent activity as to
| make the whole island uninhabitable.
| The present accession of sky glows is
unlikely to be our last one from that
source.

THE NEW REFINERY
FEDERAL COMPANY TO START IN
CANADA
The New Refining Process IS Successful
Big Business Throughout the country.

MONTREAL Aug. 3O.-A sugar COM
pany with a capital of $6,0O0,0UO, which
will at the outset have a factory at
Montreal and another in or around
Vancouver, b. c., is the result of
visit paid to this city last Thursday by
Claus Spreckels, president of the Fed
eral Sugar Refining Company of New
York. The charter of the new company
was forwarded to ottawa today In
corporation is to be sought at once. The
directors are: Claus A. Spreckels, w.
w. Cook, New York; r. ID. McGibbon,
X. c., Montreal. Arrangements for the
establishment of works are to be made
at once. for the directors have already
looked into the situation carefully and
believe there is a big field Cor a larger
sugar company in Canada
While most of the stock will be sub
scribed in the United States, it is In
tended that quite a portion shall be
disposed of in Canada.
The particular reason why we are
convinced a sugar company such as we
will establish will do a big business
throughout Canada" Spreckels stated
yesterday, lis that a few years ago l
succeeded in finding a new process of
sugar refining which has been used in
the operations at the works of the Fed
eral Sugar Refining Company, Yonkers,
n. y, and winch think L can safely
say has been successful. Results have
shown that we are able by the new pro-
cess to refine sugar at per cent less
per ton than we were by the old process
On this account we have been able to
do a big Observation-Disclosures United
States, Notwithstanding the big trusts
we have had to oppose all the time and
we now believe there is a big chance
with the assistance of the new process
to open up a big trade throughout the
Dominion of Canada.
This afternoon 1 spent some time
with Senator Drummond, president of
the Canada Sugar Refining Company, l
am not prepared yet to say whether the
plotting the new process. The first
works will be established at Montreal
and when everything is in good run
ming order a second plant will be erect
ed on the Pacific Coast"

DEMOLISHED A SALOON.

TOPEKA, Kan, August 15.-SOme
time ago the citizens of NOrcatur Kan.
ORGANIZED, and demolished a saloon in
that town. The fixtures were shattered
into kindling wood and the stock of Ii
quor poured into the gutter. A Missouri
brewing company claimed to own the
property, and brought suit against
forty members of the smashers' organi-
cation for $500 damages. In charging
the jury, Judge Hamilton declared that
the fixtures and liquor were legal prop
erty and entitled to the protection of
the law. The jury gave the brewing
company judgment for $3.50 The citi-
zens who We're defendants in the case
have appealed to the Supreme court.

Honolulu, Sept. y, 1902.
WAS KILLED INSTANTLY.
Foreman Gibbs Met a Shocking Death
Yesterday.

Charles Gibbs, foreman employed
by Cotton Brothers in running the pile
driver at the Bishop Estate wharves,
was instantly killed yesterday after
noon by being struck on the head by
the pile driving hammer. His skull
was fractured in a shocking manner.
Gibbs was standing under the chute
through which the hammer drops onto
the piles. The work of driving piles
had been discontinued temporarily, as
the men on the barge We're engaged in
putting in a small blast in the coral in
order to eXcavate hole in which to
place the end of pile. The blast was
quite small, so Gibbs did not think it
necessary to have the barge removed
from the vicinity. The conclusion of
the blast is thought to have started
the barge to rocking and this sudden
movement, in turn, caused the wooden
piece of wood which supported the pile
hammer at the top of the chute to be-
come loose and let the hammer drop.
The hammer fell a distance of 30 feet
striking Gibbs on the head.
An inquest was held last evening and
a verdict in accordance with these
facts returned. The deceased was 80
years of age and came here from Oak
land.

JAPAN REMOVES
HER MARINES

YOKOHAMA, September 1.-The N.
Y. X. steamer HiOgo Maru, which was
sent by the Department of Home At
fairs to the scene of the recent eruption
al TOrishima, returned to Yokohama
Sunday afternoon. According to the
news brought by the steamer it arrived
at Torishima on the morning of the 24rh
inst, and the landing was effected with
considerable difficulty.
The eruption had wrought a complete
transformation of the island, and all
the inhabitants and animals had dis
appeared and no indication was left as
to what had become of them. The high
est of the three peaks on the island
known as ISomOchiyama had been
blotted out of existence, and crater,
about five ChO in length, and two cho in
width and depth, had been formed part
ly in the place where the peak stood
The crater is still sending forth a thick
smoke of sulphur with awful subterra-
mean rumblings.
A considerable subsistence was nOti-
ceable at the spot where the dwellings
of the inhabitants had stood prior to
the eruption. All the island was
strewn with ashes, gravel and bouders
and only about a fourth part of the
normal island vegetation remained in
existence.
DiiOl 'lJ dLICl tHe dlliN al VI Illt IliOSO
Maru at the island, the cruiser Taxa
chino also arrived there on her way to
Marcus island. The warship, however,
left for her destination while the Hiogo
was a anchor, after the exploration of
the island by members of her crew.
The cruiser Takachiho is expected to
return to Yokosuka about September 8
bringing back the party of bluecoats
from Minami Torishima (Marcus ISL
and vic TOrishima. The bluejackets
belong to the cruiser Kasagi.
