Islands Rise Up

Soon after the volcano was seen the Fort Morgan was caught by great cur lent and tore at her moorings. The cur rent in Cedar Creek was very hard, and I am sure that the eruption Of the Chiri- oui peak was the cause. When we got out into the open sea great rocks and shoals were sticking out of the water in places where before we had navigated the vessel Small Islands could be seen all around the shore.
 q can't say how high the flames burst from the mountain, but 1t seemed like three or four miles. 1 never saw such a sight in my life The mountain had a number of peaks, but from where We ewere it seemed that the flames were Bursting from the side I could not see after the first great flash
 T have been running the Bocas del Toro for q number of years and about two years ago when a party of Swiss scientists were in that country, one oi them predicted that the very peak would burst into an eruption in less than two years. The prediction has come true Never before in the memory of the oldest residents has the Chiriqul peaks ever been active volcanoes.

 Awful Sight FELT AT CULEBRA CUT Water in Casal Rose Two Feet. Says Report-Shock Caused Rocks
 to Rise in Open Water
FELT AT CULEBRA CUT

Mobile, April 10.-The steamer Fort Morgan of the United Fruit company line arrived here this morning and brought reports of an eruption in chir- iqui peak, one mile from Becas Del Toro. This is the first time this mountain was ever known to be active. Whole Indian villages on the side have been swept away by the lava and thousands killed, and immense property lost. The flames shot very high and the smoke and ashes were blown far out to sea.

Scene Terrify ying

Captain Olsvik of the Fort Morgan in describing the scene says that it was the most terrifying imaginable. The sea was torn up and islands thrown up where once there had been deep water
 It is reported that the shock of the eruption Is being felt at culebra cut, Panama canal, and men on the Fort Morgan say that the water in the cut, according to the reports, has risen two feet within the past few days. This is attributed they say, to the volcanic ac- ton, aud they say explains the heat and steam that broke out there two or three weeks ago.
 With regard to the eruption of Chiriqui peak, Captain Olsvik said:
 'The Fort Morgan was berthed at the Almirante wharf, about IA miles from Bocas del Toro, on the morning of April 5, loading bananas, when about o'clock the eastern sky bazed forth and a great rumbling was heard. Looking in that direction l saw great volumes of fire shooting high 1t seemed.

LIKENED TO PLATE
Seems to Have Forgotten Dignity in His Campaign = Senator Now Knows Why Roosevelt Was
 Rejected as a Juror

Washington, April 10.-Colonel Roose- welt was portrayed in the Senate today as the counterpart of Pontius Pilate.
 The picture was drawn by Senator Jones of Washington, who sketched as the ground work the recent Detroit speech of the former President eondemning the votes of the majority members of the Lorimer committee favorable to the H. linois senator as not being responsive to the sentiment of their constituencies.
 Compared to Pilate
 s'.rbis is the latest rule for judicial ac- ton suggested by this self proclaimed leader of progress" said Senator Jones. Because we have not followed it we are not progressive, but reactionary. This was the rule of action followed by Pilate nearly 1900 years ago. This is the first time, l venture to say, in our history or in the history of any civilized people, that Phate's rule of judicial action has met the approval of any man save those who would cruelty Jesus. and only despise him for following it.
 'Ff former President Roosevelt had been standing on one side when Pilate delivered Jesus to the Jews after having eXalihheu into the charges and found no fault m him, but at the demand of the people, turned him over to them for cruciflXion' he would have clapped bis hands ana exclaimed, most righteous, most honor' able, most just judge At least he would have done this if he had been as progress sive then as he is now. l am charitable enough to believe. however, that he would have been practionary."
 Senator Jones prefaced his speech by saying that those who expected to hear the sensational would be disappointed and that those expecting discussion of the presidential campaign need not listen. He said he would not discuss politics. He re- cited rapidly conditions which made the present time prosperous, but said that with everything to make us happy we are engaged in a natural political vituper- atiOn."

Candidates FOR
CONGRESS BUSY
With Picnics and Barbecues at Hand
Easy to get an Audience to
Address.

jackson, July 13-Candidates for
Congress in Mississippi have spent a
busy week mingling with the voters,
and, now that the season of summer
pinics and barbecues is 1t at hand. they
are encountering no trouble in secur-
ing audiences before which to set forth
their claims.
All members of the present delega-
ton in Congress are In Washington,
anxiously awaiting the adjournment
of Congress, and several of the num-
Der who have opposition at home will
not await the final adjournment.
Messrs. Gambler of the first, Wither-
spoon of the fifth, Dickson of the sew
enth, and Collier of the eighth, are
expected to return to Mississippi dur
ing the coming week and actively
launch their respective campaigns for
reelection. They have arranged to
pair on all important questions likely
to come before the lower house before
final adjournment, and feel that they
are justified in taking early departure,
in view of the exceptional activity be-
ing shown by their opponents.
Congressman Witherspoon, who
consoled himself with the thought that
he would not have fight on his hands
after the death of the late Judge Adam
Byrd, now finds himself opposed by
two full-hedged candidates, Hon G. w.
Rencher, of Kemper, and Hon. G. W.
Beaver, of Newton. Congressman
Dickson, of the seventh is in the same
bad fix, two lively aspirants being on
the trail of his job. Congressman
Gambler Of the first, has only one OPP
ponent, and, while sanguine of sue
cess, "Zekey" does not intend to take
any thing for granted. The same is
true of Congressman Collier, of this
