coLlMA AGAIN IN ERUPTION.
Great Clouds of Smoke Are Issuing
From the Volcano.

Mexico City, Aug. 3.-A dispatch
from Colima states that the Colima
volcano is in eruption. Great clouds
of smoke are issuing from the volcano
and are being carried to the northeast
by a strong wind from the sea. 1t is
believed that another outflow Of lava
has occurred. but the dense smoke
that surrounds the mountain makes it
impossible to determine exactly what
has happened. The outbreak has been
accompanied by loud detonations. In
formation from the surrounding dis
tricts is to the effect that rumblings
and underground shocks have been
felt during the past twenty-four hours.
No reports of serious damage have
been received, but the people in the
nearby villages are greatly alarmed
and many have left for other districts.

List CT Dead at Lowell Is Not Expect.
ed TO Exceed That Number.

Lowell, Mass. July 31.-A long line
of hearses. moving slowly through
the streets was pathetic reminder of
Wednesdays terrible catastrophe at
Wigginsville. when an explosion of
many tons of nitro-glycerine and gun
powder snuffed out nearly a score of
lives. painfully injured more than
double that number of persons, scat
tered half hundred buildings over a
space of several acres. The number
of dead stands at nineteen, but may
be increased to twenty-one at any mo-
ment. by the death of two of the vic
tins at St. Johns hospital.
All day searchers probed through
the debris for any unknown victims
of the tragedy. A small cut of cloth.
later identified as the lapel of coat
worn by one of the victims already
known, and human eye were the only
gruesome reminders unearthed.
Every portion of the ruined territory
has been carefully covered.
The official report of the. Tewksbury
.selectmen places the. loss in the imme-
diate vicinity of the powder magazines
at more than 100000. and as this will
fall largely oL the householders, much
hardship will result.

ADDRESS TO IRISH

NATION AT CLOSE OF VISIT.
Monarch Deeply Touched by Hic Re.

Ample Share Of the Elessines of
Peace and Prosperity.

Cowes, Isle of Wight, Aug. 3.-The
royal yacht Victoria and Albert ar
rived here and King Edward immedi-
ately ordered the issue Of the follow
ing address,
ITO My Irish People: l desire on
leaving Ireland to tell my Irish people
how deeply ! have been touched by
the kindness and good will they have
shown to the queen and myself. Our
experience on previous visits had, in
deed, prepared us for a traditional
welcome of a warm-hearted race, but
our expectations have been exceeded.
Wherever we have gone, in town or
country, tokens of loyalty and affec-
ton preferred by every section of the
community have made an enduring i'm
preston on our hearts. For country
SO attractive and people SO gifted,
we cherish the warmest regard, and
it is therefore with supreme satisfac-
tion that have SO often during our
stay heard the hope expressed that
brighter day is dawning upon ireland.
| shall eagerly await the fulfllment
OF this prophecy. 1t will depend large
ly upon the steady development of
self-reliance and cooperation, upon
better and more practical education,
upon the growth of Industrial and
commercial enterprise, and on that in
crease of mutual liberation and re-
spect which the responsibility my
Irish people now enjoy in the public
administration of their local affairs
is well fitted to teach. 1t is my earn
est prayer that these and other means
CT national well-being may multiply
from year to year in Ireland cnd that
the blessings of peace. contentment
and prosperity may be abuldantly
vouchsafed TO her"
In replying to an address presented
to their majesties at Queenstown, the
king said that the queen and himself
looked forward to renewing in future
years the happy experience of the
present" Even the Irish papers are
enthusiastic, declaring that if only the
king will pay yearly visit or send
the Prince of Wales. if he can rot
come himself. that Ireland's troubles
will soon begin to disappear.
