MONT PELEE ACTIVE.
Present Eruption, However, Not seri-
GUS Enough to Cause Any
Damage.

Fort de France, Island of Martinique.
Thursday, Oct. delayed in transmits
sion) .-The report that there has been a
serious eruption Of Mont Pelee is not
true. There has been great activity on
the mountain during the last few days.
and a week ago the volcano emitted
enormous quantities of steam and ashes
On September 20 the mountain was
throwing out steam all day, forming a
dense cloud 5000 or 10000 feet high. The
escape grew less violent as night ap-
preached, but after dark there were two
points on the cone that were brilliantly
lighted, while at the foot of the dome
was hole from which fire escaped into
the valley below, but not in sufficient
quantities to occasion damage.
Kingston, Island of ST. Vincent. Oct. 8.
Capt. Roberts, Of the intercolonial
steamer Libun, says that on September
70 at six a. m. his vessel passed within
three miles of st. Pierre, Island of Mar
Unique, on the way to Fort de France
At that time Mont Pelee was emitting
large volumes of black smoke. On leay-
ing Fort de France at noon, those on
board the steamer had two other views
of the volcano. The disturbance in
creased uutil at two a. m. on September
30, magnificent explosion occurred.
What appeared to be large stones were
elected leagues into the air. subse-
quently the volcano became wrapped in
black cloud until the steamer lost sight
Of land. Capt Roberts is unable to say
what results the eruption had on the
cone Of the volcano.

LADY cURzoN WORSE.
Condition Of the Distinguished Patient
Takes a Turn, and Is Con-
sidered Very Grave.

Walmer Castle, Kent. Oct. S.-Lady
Curzon was on Friday seized with chilli-
ness and rigors, portending crisis. It
appears there was some secretion that
had possibly been overlooked in the first
operation, or that formed subsequently,
which led to apprehension that second
operation for peritonitis might be neces-
sary and hence the hurried summoning
Of the specialists from London. Mrs. and
Miss Letter, who were staying at Deal,
also were summoned in the belief that
the end was not distant No bulletin
has been issued since 6:25 p. M, but It
is understood the condition of Lady Cur
zon continues grave.

MANY FAVORABLE FEATURES
OUTLOOK FOR BUSINESS GROWS
STEADILY BRIGHTER.
Leading Commercial Agencies Find
Much for Congratulation in
the Situation.

New York. Oct. 8.-R. g. Dun's Week
~ Review of Trade says: with the
crops almost beyond danger, prices Of
securities at the highest point since May,
1903, and idle machinery resuming at
many factories and mills that have been
closed for months, the business outlook
grows steadily brighter. By far the best
feature Of the situation is the confidence
manifested by an increased disposition
to provide for future requirements. This
ts by no means general, but it is noticed
at pig iron furnaces, wooden mills and
among dealers at widely separated
points, particularly those located in the
agricultural sections Mercantile coli
1ections are also more prompt, and rail-
way earnings for the month OF September
were 3.S per cent. larger than in the same
month last year, while foreign commerce
at this port for the last week shows in.

are almost unanimous in telling of Inn
proved conditions.
Failures this week in the United
States are 222, against 223 last week, 226
the preceding week and 239 the CORE
spending week last year. Failures in
Canada number rs, against 10 last week,
30 in the preceding week and IL last
year"
Bradstreet's says: Popular esti-
mates of leading crop yields continue to
enlarge, corn has passed out Of danger
Of serious frost damage in the west, and
distribution, both at wholesale and re-
tail, expands as cooler weather APP
proaches. Additional favorable features
are the continuance of the good tone in
pig iron, freer buying by railways of ma
terial and rolling stock, and heavy gen.
eral crop movement helping collections
north and south. While the buying of
dry goods, hardware, groceries, shoes
and clothing continues of good volume,
particularly at the west, conservative in.
fuences find reflection in small but fire..
quent orders, calculated to meet neces-
stiles. The transportation movement ia
heavy, and railway earnings show an ex-
panding tendency the gain for Septem-
Der promising to be six per cent. over
1903. There are some flaws in the stu
alton which stamp this as an Off year
when compared with previous periods Of
great prosperity. Relatively most actiy-
ity In current distribution, whether dry
goods, shoes, clothing, lumber, hard
ware or building material, exists in the
west and northwest. Cooler weather

bELG|UM'S RULER
R0UNDLY SCORED
KING LEoPoLD's POLICY IN THE
CONGO AssAILED.
SCENE IN PEACE CONGRESS
Resolutions Recommending the For
nation Of a Peace-Making Union
Among the Nations Unani-
mously Adopted.

Boston, Oct. SKIING Leopold, of Bel
GUM, was assailed for his policy as SOW
ereign of the Congo Free State at pub
lie meeting held Friday afternoon in
connection with the session of the in
ternational peace congress. The attack
upon King Leopold was made by e. T.
Morell, of England, who represented the
Congo Reform association. Mr.. Morell
charged that the king was personally re-
sponsibls in large measure for cruel
ties practfced on the natives of the Congo
Free State in the terrific endeavors Of
monoplistic commercial organizations
to obtain from the country all the ivory
and rubber possible. The king was de-
Tended by George Herbert Head, of Cam
bridge, England, who submitted that
King Leopold had done all possible to
stop the cruelties practiced. The gov
eminent policy in the Congo also was
bitterly denounced by Rev. w. M. Nor
rison, for seven years missionary in
the Congo land.
For Peace-Making Union.
The first subject taken up Friday at
the congress was the elaborate plan Of
organizing the nations into positive
peace-making union, as favored in the
resolutions by the Danish Peace society,
the Universal Peace union, of the United
States, and other organizations. The
memorial was read by Mrs. Belva A.
Lockwood, Of Washington. It aroused
keen interest among the delegates
The preamble points out that there
is mo concert of action proposed, or
feasible plan, whereby the machinery
of The Hague convention may be put
in force to prevent war, where war is
threatened, and that the present con-
dict between Russia and Japan shows
Enthusiastically that some power more
potent and rational than brute force
is needed to prevent the useless sacri-
flee OF human life and property, now
become such an object lesson to the
civilized and uncivilized world" There
fore, It is Resolved. That the congress
recommend that new convention be
concluded between the parties which
are parties to The Hague convention,
or so many Of them as may be willing
to join in such a convention establish
ing pacigerent union between them"
A basis for the convention is then out
lined.
The resolutions, after brief discus
sion, were adopted unanimously with
the provision inserted that the con-
gress merely called the attention Of
the powers to the treaty suggested in
the memorial as one model for adop..
ton by all.
The congress voted to hold the con-
gress Of 1905 at Lucerne, Switzerland.
