VOTE ON PHILIPPINE BILL.
Prospect that it Will Be Reached
Some Time Present Week.

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
Rawlins, senior democratic member of
the senate committee on the Philip
pines, expressed the opinion that a
vote can be reached on the Philippine
government bill towards the end of
the present week. Other members of
the committee think the date of the
vote may be postponed until some
time next week, but none of them
place the vote later than the oath
instant, two weeks hence. They say
that whenever the debate is exhausted
they will agree to vote, but that they
object to naming a day for a vote un-
til they are quite certain that there is
nothing more to say pertinent to
the subject.
The consideration of the bill this
week will be interspersed with the
consideration of appropriation bills,
today being set apart for the fortifica-
ton bill and Tuesday for the agricul-
tural appropriation bill. Neither of
these measures will consume a great
deal of time and on each day it is ex-
pected there will be time left for the
consideration of the Philippine bill.
Among the opponents of the bill still
to be heard are Senators Clay and
Money. 1t is probable that consider
able debate will grow out of the
speeches of Senators Foraker and
Spooner.
Senator Lodge has given notice that
on Tuesday he will move to meet at
II o'clock each day to facilitate con-
sideration of the Philippine bill.

In continuation of my last tele-

LAST TRIBUTE TO SAMPSON.
All Departments of Government Rep
resented at Cbsequies.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-With a
pomp and circumstance exceeding
that of any naval funeral in this
country, in recent years at least, the
remains of the late William Thomp-
son Sampson, rear admiral in the
United States naval forces on the
North Atlantic station during the war
with Spain, were yesterday laid at
rest.
Every department of the national
government was represented. The
executive by the president and his
cabinet and many prominent officials
of the civil civil service, the legisla-
tive by senators and representatives,
the judiciary by the United States su-
preme court and military and naval
services by officers of all ranks The
diplomatic body, accompanied in
many cases by their ladies, attended
the church services.
The military and naval features of
the ceremonies were brilliant and i'm
pressive. They were conducted un-
der direction of Rear Admiral Terry,
commander of the Washington navy
yard, assisted by Lieutenant Henry
George The funeral escort gathered
early.

NEBRASKA HAS CANDIDATES.
Circuit Judge Caldwell is About tc
ReIIre.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-There as
wei defined rumor current in Wash
ington that Judge Henry Clay Cald-
well of the Eighth United States cir
cul. is shortly to retire rom the
bench, in which event there will be
most interesting contest for the va
cancy thus created on the part oI men
well known in the west. Already
Juoge Smi.-. p. Mcpherson o. -Owa
has announced himself as a candidate
for the position and it is understood
that Judge William Gather Hook,
United States judge for the district
of Kansas, will be a candidate, while
Nebraska will in all probability pre-
sent two aspirants for this very dis
tinguished position, Geneo M. Lam
bertson of Lincoln and Charles j.
Greene of Omaha. 1t is stated that
Mr.. Greene, should he desire to be
candidate, as now seems possible,
will bring to bear upon the appointing
power the very strongest recommen-
dations possible. Judge Caldwell was
appointed in 1864 United States judge
for the eastern district of Arkansas
by President Lincoln and in 1890 was
appointed by President Harrison
judge of the Eighth United States cir
cult. Judge Caldwell went out from
Iowa to the war and became major,
lieutenant colonel and colonel, and en-
tered Little Rock, Arkansas capital,
booted and spurred to take his posi-
tion upon the district bench. He is
now 70 years of age and believes that
he has reached the retiring period.

LONDON, May 12.-The latest re-
ports received here say that the state
of affairs at st. Vincent creates grave
alarm, especially as dispatches from
the island of Dominica reported that
the Souffriere volcano was in active
eruption. Small boats loaded with
refugees from Grand Riviere, Martin
ique, have arrived at Dominica in a
pitiable condition. They report that
six other boats left that village at the
same time.

sARPY MAY LOSE HATCHERY.
Fish Commission Objects to Being
Tied Down to One Location.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Commis-
sioner Bowers of the department of
fisheries, in explaining why the bill
for the establishment of the fish
Matching and fish culture station in
Sarpy county had been changed so as
to include the state of Nebraska, in
stead of locating the station near
South Bend, as Representative Mer-
GERS bill indicated, said congress had
not heretofore limited the department
of fish and fisheries in the selection
of site. He stated that the estab-
llshment of a fish culture station in
Nebraska was most desirable, hut to
be compelled to locate it at some
point named by bill would be detri-
mental to the interests of the de-
partment and he had therefore recon-
mended that the bill be made general
in character, So as to provide that a
site should be selected by the fish
commissioner without limitation in
the state of Nebraska.
1t was stated today that the COM
mittee on merchant marine and fish
cries of the house, of which General
Grosvenor is chairman, would bring
in an omnibus appropriation bill pro-
viding for all fish cultural stations
that have been recommended by the
committee and it is thought the bill
to locate a station in Nebraska will
be included in that measure.

FORT DE FRANCE, Island of Mar
Unique, May 12-Adyices received here
from the vicinity of st. Pierre, ten
miles from here. contain further de-
tails of the terrible volcanic upheaval
which resulted in the utter destruction
of that town and the death of nearly
all of it's inhabitants.
The crater of Mont Pelee has been
wearing it's smoke cap" since May g.,
but there was nothing until last Mon
day to indicate tina. there was the
slightest danger. On that day a stream
of boiling lava burst through the top
of the crater into the valley of the
River Blanche, overwhelming the
Guerin sugar works and killing twen-
ty-three work people and the son of
the proprietor.
A commission was appointed by the
governor to investigate the outbreak,
and it returned reassuring report on
Wednesday evening, but about 8
o'clock on Thursday morning a shower
of fire rushed down on st. Pierre and
the coast, from LIE Carbet, which had
population of 6,000 to LIE Precheur,
which had a population of 1000, burn
ing up everything in its path.
Throughout Thursday the heat in
the vicinity Of st. Pierre was so in
tense and the stream of flowing lava
was so unremitting that it was i'm
possible to approach the town dur
ing the early part of the day. AS
evening approached the French cruiser
Suchet, after a heroic battle with the
heat, suffocation and sulphur fumes,
succeeded in making dash toward the
shore, nearing the land close enough
of the disaster, all of whom were hor
ribly burned and mutilated.
st. Pierre at that time was an alb
solute smoking waste, concealing 3d.
600 corpses, whose rapid decomposi-
ton necessitated, in some cases, in
stantly completing their cremation,
which was only partially accomplish
ed by the lava. The inhabitants of
Fort de France were panicstricken,
the morning Of the disaster, when the
sky suddenly blackened until it was
as dark as midnight. The sea shrank
back thirty yards and hot rain began
to fall, and gravel of large size be-
gan to fall onto the town. This last
ed fifteen minutes. About $50 sur
vivors, who were brought here from
the vicinity of st. Pierre by Pouyer
Guertier, came from the town of LIE
Precheur, where, surrounded on all
sides by flowing lava, they were near
ly roasted to death and expected mo-
mentarily to be engulfed. The work
of relief is progressing here on the
most extensive scale possible, but, in
anticipation of disturbances, the
treasury building and the warehouses
are guarded by troops.
The latest reports received here
showed that lava continues to pour
down the slopes Of the mountain,
slowly engulfng the whole north side
of the mountain, while fresh crevasses
are continually opening.
