New York, May 1.-THE Transat-

of an event which is alleged to have
preceded the disaster at st. Pierre,

aboard the schooner Gabrielle:
A scientific commission, presided
over by the governor, NJ. Mottet, as
sembled in st. Pierre on May y the
day before the calamity, for the pur-
pose of studying the phenomena OF
the volcanic disturbances of Mont
Pelee. 1t was agreed by the members
of this commission that the relative
position of the craters and the val
leys debouching on the sea were such
that the scientists could affirm That
the security of st. Pierre was com
plete, and this announcement was
made to allay the fears of the fright
ened citizens.
The sun rose over St. Pierre at six
o'clock on the morning of May 9. Tee
Mont Pelee was smoking from the

on the island of St. Vincent is still
in destructive eruption. A terrific
cannonade can be heard hundred
miles away, The reports are followed
by columns of smoke, rising miles in

fire also issue from the crater. Light

sky, and the whole northern part of
the island is one mass of travelling
flame. 1t is impossible to reach the
burning district by land or sea, and
there are no means of estimating the
destruction wrought to life and prop

swine ...........I7l3,3O7 1,5O5,2 PA
A comparison between the number
OF domestic animals reported in 1890
and 1900 indicates an important
change in the character Of the live.
STOCK Industry. There has been a
small decrease in the numbers of
other neat cattle and of sheep.
Horses and mules, on the other hand,
show great increases, and swine have
increased to some extent,
The decrease of SO per cent in
the number Of dairy COWS since 1890,
Is believed to be more apparent than
real, as the production of milk more
than doubled in the same period. 1t
is probable that many OF the
1857 COWS and heifers not kept
for milk" were in reality mich COWS,
dry at the time of enumeration.
The decrease in the number Of
other neat cattle" is probably even
greater than indicated by the table.
The number of other neat cattle"
given for 1900 includes 254,473
calves, and it is uncertain whether
any calves were reported in 1890 un.
der this designation. II not, there
has been a decrease, for the decade,
OF 5O6 per cent in the number Of
other neat cattle" over one year Of
age. The conclusion might be drawn
that, owing to the rapid settlement
Of the state, the steadily enhancing
value Of farm lands, and the increas.
ing acreage devoted to crops, the
Arkansas farmer has partially
abandoned stock raising as source
Of revenue. 1t must be borne in
mind, however, that the comparative.
ly high market price Of beef and nut.
ton which prevailed for number
of months pricr to the date of enume.
ration, naturally led many farmers
to reduce their herds and focks to
an unusual extent.
The rapid development OF agricul'
ture since the close OF the civil war
Is nowhere more clearly reflected
than in the steady increase In the
number OF horses and mules. Near
ly three times as many horses and
approximately five times as many
mules, were reported In 1900 as In
1870. In the last decade the number
Of horses increased 35!7 per cent and
the number OF mules iO,3 per cent.
The sheepraIsing industry has
been on the decline since 1880, the
decrease in the last ten years
amounting TO 30S per cent, Swine
have nucturated in number from de-
cade to decade, the change since 1890
being an increase Of 1873 per cent.
The total value Of all live stock on
farms, June I, 1900, was $37,4S3,771,
or this amount 27l per cent repre-
sents the value Of horses; 272 per
cent that OF mules and burros; 1873
per cent that Of dairy cows; l4.S per
cent that OF other neat cattle; s per
cent that Of swine; Al per cent that
Of poultry, and 10 per cent that OF
all other live stock.
No reports were secured OF the
value OF live stock not on farms but
II is probable that such animals have
higher average values than those on
farms. Allowing the same averages
the total value of the domestic
animals not on farms is s2,2SO,l7O
Exclusive of the poultry and bees
not on farms, the total value of live
stock in the state is approximately
$50 1894.

Kind Words From An Editor.

non. larry A. Willard. president OF
the National Editorial Association, in
his write-up of the recent convention
held at Hot Springs, says many good
things about Arkansas, and especially
Hot Springs and Little Rock. Below
is an extract from his article appear.
ing in the Bonneville IN. " Herald,
of which Mr.. Willard is the editor:
After leaving the famous Hot
Springs, the city that cures all ills
that flesh is heir to- our programme
took us to Little Rock, the capital Of
the state, which has population Of
some $4,000 people. 1t is situated in
the center Of the state and by push,
pluck and perseverance Is forging
ahead at rapid rate. 1t is termed
the City of Roses because Of the pro
fusion Of the queen Of flowers, but we
were too early and the season too late,
and while the pathway of the editors
was not strewn with flowers there
was a most hospitable welcome &C.
corded after the true southern style
that was fully appreciated.
"A committee of citizens with the
First Regiment band met the train
at the station and by trolley cars con.
veyed the visitors to the city park,
where ex-Congressman W. L. Terry
delivered an eloquent address of well
come, in which he said:
I've are proud to welcome such a
body Of men today, and proud to have
you within our gates You have
doubtless entered the gates of fairer
cities and Travelled through more pros
porous states, but you will never enter
one whose people are more willing to
extend the right.hand of American fell
lowship to every son and daughter Of
sister state, or will more gratefully
appreciate any kind or generous word
you may be pleased to say in their be-
half. Like every other part of the
south, we have encountered our trials
and difficulties. We have met them
the best we could. and now, forgetting
the gloom and remembering only the
glory Of what has gone, we have set
our hands to the work OF to-day, and
our faces to the light and hope of the
future. We rejoice, indeed, in your
coming, and we rejoice in the oppor'
tunities it affords to strengthen those
kindly ties that should bind us all to.
gether in one common brotherhood
whose proudest boast should be, e! am
an American citizen" 1t was to
strengthen and bind that tie that the
constitution itself was formed over.
arching a glorious sisterhood of sover,
eign states. To aid in the accom-.
plishment Of that grand purpose, you
have indeed a grand mission to per.
form.
"a union Of lakes and union Of
lands
Is an object Of noblest endeavor,
But union Of hearts and union Of
hands
Means the flag OF our country forever
"The people Of Arkansas, while hold.
ing sacred the memories OF the civil
war, are intensely loyal today to the
stars and stripes, They believe one
country and one flag to be far prefer
able to the confederation Of states, for
which some Of the noblest blood Of
the country was shed Every moment
at Little Rock was enjoyed. The city
Is one OF which the state can well be
proud, and we look for a future growth
and prosperity that will outstrip many
other cities less iayorably located"
