VOLCANIC ISLANDS.

The daily press recently reported that
new island had been thrown up near
the coast of Trinidad. with accompany
ing fire and explosions. This report and
the statement appearing in numerous
places that the eruption was volcanic has
strengthened the impression, already some
what current, that Trinidad is a volcanic
island forming part OF the same chain ~
Martinique, ST. Vincent and others OF the
Windward Islands. There Is. however, no
true volcanic activity in Trinidad and no
volcanic rocks either recent or ancient are
known there. The island is formed OF
highly folded sedimentaTy and metamorphic
strata and Is more properly TO be cOnsid-
cred as a portion OF the South American
land mass. The recent eruption near is
south coast was due to the sudden escape
of a large quantity Of gas from the strata
that form the submerged coastal plateau,
with the consequent election Of the mud
and other materials which had hitherto
confined the pressure. ETuptions Of this
type on a small scale are constantly going
on in Southern Trinidad. forming the many
mud cones and craters to be seen there.
and occasionally large outbreaks. such as
this latest one, occur In all cases the
force at work is escaping gas. which rises
from the gas bearing, sandy and clayey
strata. bringing with It fine sediment and
salty water derived from these beds

Manchuria were far away, and since
Journalism is in its elementary stages in
the land Of the Cars, did not appeal 10
the people at large. But every one felt
the sting of Russia's surrender TO Aus
trials threats and was alive to the dam
age TO MuscoWte prestige entailed there
hy throughout the Balkan states.
Count Berchtold was identified in the
ewes OF all, from the Car down to the
very policeman at the street corner with
this national humiliation. All his for
mer popularity vanished. Treated with
the coolest formality by the Emperor
and by those Of the latters dignitaries
with whom he was forced to transact
official business he was subjected to the
most insulting kind of ostracism by st.
Petersburg society, which Stunned the
Austrian Embassy as If it were plague
stricken, even the most intimate Rus
sian friends Of the count and countess
ostentatiously cutting them when they
met them in the street. Finally the
situation became untenable, and the
count insisted upon and obtained from
Emperor Francis Joseph his withdrawal
from st. Petersburg and has since tn IN
been on the retired list.
Under the circumstances il will readily
be understood that the counts appoint
ment as successor to Count d'Aehrenthal
as the Chancellor of the dual empire
does not indicate the likelihood of any
marked Improvement in the relations be-
nomination cannot bat be resented at
st. Petersburg, not merely on account Of
the part which he played in handing
Austrias s ultimatum 10 the Gar, but
also because people on the banks of the
Neva realize that he can never forget or
forgive the insults TO which he and his
wife were subjected by court and society
there in connection with the entire affair.
1t is difficult TO predict with any kind
of certainty the future political career of
man whose work has hitherto been re-
stricted to diplomacy and who is sud
denly called upon 10 assume the Chan
cellorship and direct the foreign relations
OF one of the pivotal great powers of the
world. Perhaps the above brief notes
will help the readers Of The Tribune to
form some idea of the course on which
he is likely to steer the Austrian ship Cf

the court circle, from access to which
they would by reason of their mothers
plebeian ancestry have been otherwise
deprived. But in spite of all this, the
countess and of course, her sons were
always looked upon at court and by the
great world of Vienna as mere intrud-
ers, as not to the manner born, and
ultimately her position became so IN
tolerable at Vienna that she compelled
her husband TO tender his resignation,
which was accepted, with something
very much akin to alacrity. For the
Emperor had become tired of the in
terminable troubles in connection with
her status, raised by the women OF the
imperial family, by the ladies of the
court and bv Nine. de GoluChowsR her

treated with so much ridicule and con-

the wife of the Chancellor, ana ot the
Minister of the Imperial House W"ulu
by reason of her ancestral disqualilca-
tlons have been every bit as awkward
as that of the wife Of GOluchoWskl. II
was owing to this that after due con-
sideration the Emperor appointed Count
Leopold Berchtold. who is barely forty
eight years old, in lieu of Margrave John
Pallavicini, to the successorship OF the
offices left vacant by the death of Count
d'Aehrcnthal.
Count Berchtold. in spite Of his German
name. is. like his wife, member OF the
Hungarian aristocracy, and it is owing
to this tnat Baron Burian, also Mag

ton of Minister of Finance for the dual
empire. TO which Baron Bilinski, Pole
has Just been appointed in his stead.
For if is contrary to constitutional rules
that there should be more than one Hun
earian among the three ministers whose
sphere extends over the entire duaI en-
pire-uamely, the Chancellor. the Min
ister of War and the Minister of Finance.
These three ministers must not be con-

HUMILIATION OF RUSSIA.

Russia was at the time i'm the act of
reorganizing. rearmlng and equrpping
anew her army after the disastrous
war with Japan in Manchuria, and the
Gear was informed by his military and
financial advisers that the nation was
in no condition just then to resist any
joint AustrO-German invasion. Conse-
quently there was no course for
Nicholas but to yield to the ultimatum
presented by Count Berchtold. and he
was obliged not only 10 intimate to
Servia that she could no longer look for
support and protection to ST. Petersburg,
but also officially TO acknowledge, recog-
nize and consent to Austria's annexation
of Herzegovina and Bosnia.
The humiliation OF this surrender to
Austrian demands was more keenly felt
than any of the defeats sustained by

COUNT sERcHToLD's ANCESTRY.

Count BerChtOldS family dates from
the end Of the fifteenth century, when II
received. first Of all. Austrian nobility or
the Holy Roman Empire, and a few
wears later a barony Of the empire. In
1873 the Berchtolds were still further
elevated to the rank Of counts or the
Holy Roman Empire, and, settled in Hun
gary. became members of the Magyar
nobility. and invested with seats at the
Table of Magnates (the Hungarian
house Of Iords) in the early part Of the
reign Of Maria Theresa.
Count Leopold is the present head OF
the family which is a very numerous
one and is exceedingly rich, with great
estates in Bohemia, Austria and Hun
gary-added to which, his wife IS
wealthy in her own right-and after
spending several years as secretary and
charge d'affaires of the Austro- Hun
garian embassies in London and in
Paris, was appointed, in 1907, to succeed
Count d'Aehrenthal as Ambassador to
st. Petersburg. Both he and his wife
were extremely popular there until the
moment came for him TO hand I'm person
70 Nicholas II that autograph letter from
his own sovereign announcing the in
CORPORATION of the ottoman provinces OF
Herzegovina and Bosnia into the dual
enpire. Although the two provinces in
ouestion lad been administered and mil

1878. by virtue Of the terms Of the Treaty
Of Berlin Of that date, yet the anneXa-
tion of the provinces in 1903, which was
conn of Chancellor d'Aehrenthal,
took every one, monarchs, statesmen and
dinlouats even Aust~ia's close ally, En-
peror William, by surprise, and was Wig
orously condemned everywhere, at Berlin
in particular, as gross violation OF the
provisions Of the Treaty of Berlin
Nowhere did it excite more Indignation
than I'm Russia, and Servia was encour-
aged by the latter to resist Austria by
force of arms, seeing that the provinces

that even i'm case Of defeat they would
be protected by her, and relying on her

sumed an attitude so aggressive and
provocative toward Austria that Count
Berchtold was commissioned to notify
the Czar that unless he Immediately

tria the German army would have to
cooperate with that of Austria in Its
invasion Of the Muscovite Empire.
