Merchants and ship captains who
know the Windward islands cannot
conceive of the gay little port of st.
Pierre de Martinique covered with
ashes and lava. AS do all the colonial
capitals Of the French, st. Pierre fol-
lowed as closely as the steamers and
mails would permit the customs and
fashions of Paris. At the Hotel des
iBains at the ''absinthe hour" one might
always find gathering Of the young
men of the town. who sat slipping their
Jiqueurs, and chatting gayly, says the
New York Evening Post.
The town was built on the fat, mar
row fcreshore that lay between the
foot of the steep wooded mountains
and the sea. The houses and shops
were built down to the waters edge
and clustered in irregular groups about
the cathedral, which was situated di-
Tectly opposite where the ships lay in
the roadstead and was the most promi-

up and fastened in front below the
breast, SO as to bring the hem every
where to a level with the end of the
long chemise. and finally foulard or

ever, are exquisite in pattern and col
or-bright crimson, bright yellow, bright
blue. bright green, lilac, violet, rose,

chickering's or stripings, black with
orange, sky blue with purple.
But few are thus attired. The great

bles, cakes, fruit, ready cooked food,
from door to door-are very simply
dressed in a single plain robe Of vivid
colors reaching from neck to feet and
made with train. but generally grid

MAPLE HILL FIRE.
Big Store Of DOlley & Stewart
Totally Destroyed.

Maple Hill. April 10.-The general
merchandise store of Dolley & Stewart,
the largest store in this place. was
totally destroyed by fire last night. The
loss will probably be s25,00 or more. IS
a very large stock was carried.
The fire started early this morning,
and it is suspected that it was of in
cendiary origin. 1t was discovered
at about $50 O'Clock, and had gained
such headway that there was no pos
sibilitv of saving the big store. The
only thing which was removed from
the building was the safe.
The fire was confined to the Dolley
& Stewart store. Indications are that
the fire started in the basement of the
store. near that corner of the basement
where a large quantity of kerosene and
gasoline was stored
In the building was located the CEN
tral station of the Independent tele-
phone company, which has so tele-
phones on the Maple Hill exchange.
The wires We're burned out, and it was
not until about II o'clock this morning
that the wires had been Strengthened
out and connection made with the toll
line. The telephone is now being
worked at the Maple Hill end in a liv-
cry stable.

believed to have been small The store

been murdered. The old man then went
to the morgue and identified the man
gled and bloody remains as those OF MS
daughter The spot where Miss Jen-
nett was murdered was peculiarly
adapted to the awful crime. The near
est electric light is three blocks ana
there is not a house in the block W m.
Quart is merely held as possible val
liable witness, the police say, and not
as a suspect
When the police learned this morning
that Prof. Miller and Miss Jennett had
been well acquainted and that he had
given her music lessons, Capt Baker
went to the house. Miller took the an
nOuncement of the girls death coolly
and asked no questions regarding the
murder. Capt. Baker finally decided TO
take him into custody When placed
IN the sweat box at the police station ne
had himself under control and an
swered all questions apparently in a
straightforward manner.
The officers then asked him to take Off
his coat and vest. and then one of the
most dramatic events known TO the po-
lice took place. With great reluctance
the music teacher removed the gar
ments. The officers took off his cellu-
lOid cuffs and rolled up the wristbands
of his white shirt. on the inside OF
these were found blood stains, and
when they stood revealed and when the
policemen and detectives looked up to
Miller for an explanation the unhappy
man turned deadly white and fell on
the floor in a fainting fit. He was re-
stored to consciousness and then led to
a cell, on the way to which he tainted
again.
Blood stains We're also found on his
trousers. Some We're found on his
overcoat. and more on his hat. The
hat a derby, had evidently been
washed, but not sufficiently, as blood
crystals were positively identified.
Capt. Baker went into the cell with
him after he had recovered somewhat
from his fainting condition and spoke
to him. Miller was seated. but looked
up quickly and said: I know nothing
about the matter"
In the sweat box Miller claimed that
last night he attended a meeting of
the Wolverine Circle. an insurance or
ganizaton, on Baker street. and that
he left about IL o'clock. If true this
would be sufficient alibi for the mur-
der took place at IL o'clock or a few
minutes later

KELLY HAS RESIGNED.
There Is a Vacancy on the Inter-
national Court.

New York. April 10.-Private advices
received here confirm the rumored res
ignation of Chief Justice A. NJ. Kiely of
the international court at Cairo. Egypt.
The vacancy is to be filled by President
Roosevelt. The position is regarded as
a very desirable one.
The resignation of Justice Kiely is
understood here to have been due to
the death of his wife. Since her death
the scenes which We're associated with
so large a part of their happy marie 4
life have become depressing TO Mr..
Kie1y, and he determined to seek relief
in travel He will go shortly to Lon
don, where he is a member of a num-
Der of clubs and where he has many
friends.
Justice Kiely first came into national
prominence through his nomination by
President Cleveland in 1885 as envoy
extraordinary and minister plenipOten-
tiary to Italy. He is a native of New
Jersey, but at the time of his appoint
ment he had been for many years a
resident Of Virginia His appointmer
account of the objections of the italian
government. He was then accredited
by President Cleveland as minister to
Vienna. The Austrian government also
declared him persona non grata.
Secretary Bayard addressed a note to
the Austrian government in which he
commented on the unreasona bleness of
race and religious distinctions. To re
ieVe the administration of President
Cleveland of further embarrassment,
Mr.. Kiely resigned. He was later ap-
pointed by President Cleveland to the
international court at Cairo and has
served in that court continuously since.

DUMONT WONT FLY.
He is Here to Talk With Worlds
Fair Managers.

New York April 10-Alberto-S Santos
Dumont. builder and navigator of air
ships, arrived here today on the steam
ship Deutschland. He has come to the
United States to discuss plans for an
exhibition OF aerial navigation with the
managers of the St. Louis exposition
and will be in the country for three
weeks Engagements in England during
the coronation of King Edward require
that he recrosses the Atlantic by that
time, but If the necessary arrangements
can be made he will return here in July
or August for either a race with a rival
or an exhibition. That he might be pre-
pared for a visit this summer, he has
shipped his latest built airship. No 7,
to this country and viii have it made
ready for use. He will do no flying dur
ing the present visit to the country.
The young aerialiSt was accompanied by
Emanuel Aime. former secretary of the
Aero club of Paris and Albert Chaplin
machinist expert in airship mechanism.
Santos -Dumont viii remain in New
York for five days before going to St
Louis.
4 hope to see New York the principal
air port Of the world before I pass
away" said he. 7 have no doubt that
in my time, perhaps ten years, if / get
the proper encoura cement and help, aerial
navigation will be aneaccomplished fact.
I have no doubt that I will live to see
passengers transported by airship across
the Atlantic from New York to Paris.
I have not patented my airship in
this country and I do not intend to-
want other men to take my ideas and
improve on them if they can. If the St.
Louis exposition takes place next year,
it is possible that nobody except myself
would be ready to enter race of air
ships, but if it takes place two years
from now, I am sure there would be
other entries. I have great hope for the
future of the airship. You are doing
some excellent work on it here in The
United States and your professor, S. r.
Langley, is one of the greatest m en- in
the field, in the world. This is the
country, too, in which it should be ta-
ken up; for you have the men, the
money and the enterprise"
AS the Deutschland neared Nantucket
Santos -Dumont attempted to send the
following message ashore: Il bow to the
greatest country in the world
He did not succeed in getting the
message off

SETTLING A QUARREL.
France and Venezuela About to Ad-
lust Their Differences.

New York, April 1O.-A summary of
the protocol for the renewal of diplo-
matte relations between France and
Venezuela, the discussion of which is
now taking place in a secret session Of
the Venezuelan congress is, according
to the HeraId's Fort de France Mar
Unique correspondent. as follows:
It is agreed between France and Ven
ezuela that Immediately after the rati
fication of the protocol both countries
will appoint ministers and viii also nom
mate one arbitrator each to comprise a
tribunal for the examination of the
French claims arising out of the Ven
ezuelan revolution Of 1892
The tribunal IS to meet in Caracas In
the event Of the membesrs disagreeing
they viii submit their differences to the
umpire who is the Marquis Del NUM-,
the Spanish ambassador to France. The
arbftrators and the umpire are obliged
to render a decision within year from
the date of the ratification of the proto-
col All other French claims up to May
%. 1893 will be settled by the same tri-
bunal-
It is agreed that in payment of claims
in the diplomatic debt the rate of in
terest shall be 3 per cent. The arrears
of the present diplomatic debt. which
amount to about $65, 900, are to carry
the same interest. new diplomatic
debt is to be created for the payment
of the French claims and is to be guar
anteedi by 13 per cent. Of the 20 units
of the customs receipts specially appro-
priated to the payments of the public
debt.
1t is agreed that Venezuela shall not
undertake to divert the customs re-
ceipts thus provided.
The convention of 1895 remains in
force. This convention is to the effect
that the French government will rec
ognize the validity of the Venezuelan
tribunal, and viii not interfere by dip
lomatic action in case of a denial of
justice.
The French legation shall, on request,
receive copies of documents and other
information regarding the cases pend
ing before the Venezuelan tribunal af-
fecting French citizens. Venezuela will
grant to France commercial tariff on
the most favored nation basis.
I Diplomatic relations between France
and Venezuela were severed in the early
part of 1885 when Venezuela dismissed
the French minister to Caracas, the Mar
quis de Ripert- -Montilar The trouble
arose from Venezuela's failure to pay
the French claims, which amounted to
about 4 million dollars.
Venezuela offered to settle for $900,0O0
| but France refused.
