BY VOLCANIC ERUPTION

Victoria, b, G., Jan. l4.--The entire
western part of the island of Ambrym,
New Herbrides, has been devastated by
volcanic eruption, according to news
brought by the Canadian.Australian lin.
er Makur. Word was received at
Sydney prior to the departure of the
Makura that on December 6, six new
craters were observed in active eruption
and ON the following day Mount Minnie
collapsed
Villages on the southern coast were
also abandoned, No loss Of life was
reported among the white population
and the fleeing people are said to have
taken refuge at Port Sanwich, 1t is
most probable that many of the natives
on the western part of the island have
perished, by lava cutting off retreat to
the sea. There is no trace of vegetation
on this portion of the island.
The rest ofthe island is covered with
ashes, The eruptions were more active
than ever, The upheaval was so viol.
ent that all aboard expected part of the
island would disappear There were
terrible detonations,clouds of,steam ana
lava, ciuders, rising to great height,
lightning flashes every moment in a
fuhguous sky accompanied by con
tinuous fierce rumbling The air was

How daring was their project can be
seen from the fact that the Total
amount Of stock Of these companies at
that time was 1884 100000 and their
mileage was 1887.
Failure of the Plan.
The syndicate is supposed 10 have
started with about Sj0.000000 Of cap
,tal. \ they bought stocks they by
pothecatcd them with various bankers,
thus rai-ing money to buy more. Al
the beginning Of 1910 they had got
very fer ahead with their undertak-
mg. Then suddenly the great inter
ests which would be most affected by
a change of control took alarm. The
prices 0. stocks began to go down. ana
they kept them going down. As they
declined the syndicate's margins on
its loans got narrower and narrower.
With no more money forthcoming. It
had to give up the great plan, and a
desperate effort was made, by sacri-
hcing some big blocks Of stock. TO save
something out Of what was plainly a
wreck. But there was no safety that
way. In the end the syndicate was
Obliged 20 appeal iCf help 10 group

relieved it of the last of its load.
The Pearson-Farquhar venture was
the last important attempt made to
bring about great combination Of
railroad. There have been other
combinations and mergers since, blu,
they have all been Of minor charac-
ter. The general tendency. in fact. IS
believed by railroad men to be quite
the other way. With the growth in
power Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and with the increase IN
the lumber of state supervisory
boards. the chances for great combina-
tons have grown increasingly less.
And now the activity Of Congress in
anti-monopoly and railroad regulation
Legislation is expected to do away with
even the few remaining chances.
