to be subjects of this country as showing the tendency of promptness with which the United j came- to thm relief of the needy in Unique and St. Vincent no doubt has much to stimulate the sentiment In ■ of the United States. The people, as t rule, are intelligent enough to appre:e a nation that does things. The eahad told them that, while European jitries were looking for precedents and debating whether or not they should vote relief, the United States was hurrying supply-ships from many points. The act touched the people of the colonies and they will not soon forget it. How Caribs Saved Their Lives. On the way home I saw in an Eastern newspaper which was brought aboard ship at St. Thomas, a cablegram from Martinique stating that the eruption of Souftriere had wiped the last of the Caribs, of St. Vincent, off the earth. As a matter of fact, a large per cent, of the Caribs exposed to the eruption of May 7 escaped. These war-like natives whom Columbus encountered as he cruised among the islands, read the warnings of Souffriere better than the natives of more intelligence and when the fatal day came they Wire not unprepared. Generations of Caribs before them had seen Souffriere in action and In every Carlb settlement the warning "Dig caves when Souffriere smokes,’' had been passed from generation to generation. And so when the volcano began to show signs of life about May 1, cave digging became the occupation of the Caribs of every tribe inhabiting the sides and foothills of the mountain. On one hillside at least two hundred of them rushed into caves on the forenoon of the eruption, and nearly all came out the following day

unharmed.

The country around about them had been devastated, and as they could no« subsist on their oid reservations they were taken to Kingstown, where we found them receiving food and clothing from the supply depot. They were not complaining, and when the volcano quiets down they will return to their old haunts and engage in basket making and fishing. i The Work of the Scientists. The civilised world will be interested In the official reports of tbs scientists who accompanied the United States relief expedition. The newspaper correspondents saw much of them on Martinique, and on St. Vincent, went over practically the -same ground they did, but were working from tlrely different point of view. Dr. Hill, of the"United States Geological ey, stayed at Fort-de-France, while fessors Jaggar, Hovey, Russell and hgrevink went on with us to St. t. When we parted from Dr. H1H 1 he intended to try to get to tho of Mont Pelee. On our way home ed that he had been partially sucln the attempt, and we learned, tat Prof. Angelo Hellprln, of Phllala. who arrived In Fort-de-France day after we left, had, in company GeOrge Kennan, and one ,or two other ascended the mountain from the side and had looked into the

crater. •.

Great Risks for Science. One who has not visited the scene of danger and devastation can not appreciate the hardships and the risks these men underwent in behalf of science. Professors Jaggar, Hovey and Russell were VtUi at Kingstown, St. Vincent, when we left, and on our way home we learned that they, too, had not been Idle, ha vlng ascended Souffriere from the windward side until they bad a good view of the crater. Professor Borchgrevlnk returned on the Madlana with the new-spa-

peb ^correspondents.

While the scientists were disinclined to talk for publication until they had completed their observations wc knew before we separated from them that they were convinced that there was a line of conrtnurilcation between the volcano of Bouffriete. on at. Vincent, and Mont Pe-

in fact they were

there was a line of com-

Fatton between all the volcanic ttlimda of the Caribbean group. They found much to interest them. The

phenomena, they said, were nearly all new to science. They hunted assiduously for Java, but did not find it. Mud. .Ashes, steam, smoke, rocks, gases covered the eruptions of both Pelee and

Souffriere.

For Predictions In the Future.

As indicated in the lectures delivered aboard th« Dixie on the way down they were especlaJly interested in a study of the conditions that prevailed before the eruptions, and working with the newspaper correspondents, they accumulated much valuable information along this line—Information which, they say, ought to be of value in p'redlctlng eruptions in

[Special to Tho Indiana polio New*. 1 EBANON, Ind., June 14.—The construction of the Indianapolis "green line," the second traction line, in length, In Indiana, has begun.in earnest in Boone eounty, the officers of the IndianaLebanon, Crawfordsville, Frank-

fort and Lafayette Traction Company say positively that all of the grading over the ninety miles of right-of-way between the cities named will be completed this fall; that the bridges will all be in by the time snow flies; that the steel rails will be laid this winter and that cars wlU be running on all divisions in the

spring.

This new line.into Indianapolis will likely, in time, be known by the short title, “the Green Line,” because of the color of its cars. The contract for twenty-nine passenger and four freight cars. President Townsend says, has already been placed with a Wilmington (Del.) firm in ofder that no delay in ctowded car shops will postpone the opening of the foad. These are probably to be 4Jtfr-fastest cars in the State— at least 'equal- to the speed of the Union Traction Company’s limited service to Anderson and Muncie Long-Distance, High-Speed Road. The line itself is to be a new departure in Indiana electric traction service, for it will be, strictly speaking, a long-distance, high-speed road. There are few small towns on the route and a good percentage of the business will have to come from Crawfordsville and Lafayette. To get this and to make the trip by the way of Frankfort and Lebanon, thus adding at least ten miles to tlie more direct routes of tne Big Four from both points, the officers of the company say that it will be necessary for them to have cars that will beat the running time of the Big Four. It is the intention to make the trip from Lafayette to Indianapolis—seventy miles— in a flat two hours, making stops at Denver, Mulberry, Frankfort, Lebanon, ZionsVllle, Holmes and other towns en route, and the service from Crawfordsville, it Is announced, will be cut down to one hour and a half. W. S. Reed, the secretary of the company, says that it will be possible to make this fact schedule because there will be practically no stops between Lebanon and Crawfordsville and Lebanon and Frankfort. The survey distance from Lebanon to Crawfordsville is twenty-two miles, which he proposes to cover in thirty minutes, and the distance from Lebanon to Frankfort is eighteen miles, which will, he says, be covered in twenty-five minutes. Built for Speed. The cars that have been ordered arcscheduled for a speed of fifty to seventy miles an nour. Each one of them will carryfour seventy-flve-horse-power motors, one applied to each wheel. This is the same total power that the Union Traction Company’s limited trains have, but it is asserted that in having four aeventy-five-horse-power motors. Instead of two one-huh-dred-and-fifties, the new cars will be capable of making their schedule easier and possibly be capable of greater speed. On all of the ninety miles there is onlyone right angle turn, and It is in Lebanon. There will be a few grades, and only a few curves, and those long ones that can be made under full speed. The steel will be sixty-flve-pound and the bridges will be of steel; all construction and equipment is looking toward speed. The cars will be fifty feet In length and have the finest equipment. The plans for the central power station in Lebanon, Indicate that it will be the second largest in the State, as the line in mileage will be the second longest. The station will have a capacity of 3.800 horse-power. The Union Traction Company's station at Anderson has 3,900 horse-power and the new Shelbyville station 700 horse-power. Besides the powerhouse there will be two two hundred-feet brick car houses at Lebanon and a repair shop. With the motormen and the conductors, who will have to make Lebanon their headquarters, it will mean the employment of 160 men at this point. There will be another large car station at Lafayette and another at Crawfords-

ville.

issued, and the bonds put on market will be limited to 326,000 a mile, the remainder being held in the treasury. Besides this one, a second Lafayette, Lebanon-Indianapolis line, has been projected, and some work in getting the right-of-way has been done. It is mapped out to parallel the Big Four from Lafayette to Lebanon, passing down through Colfax, Thorntown and other good towns. The promoters say that it will be built, notwithstanding the extensive plans of the company that has begun construction. After leaving Lebanon, their survey crosses the Big Four and swings further to the west, coming into Marion through Traders Point. Their line is practical and is favored by many. The Townsend line keeps on the east of the Big Four all of the time, and from Frankfort parallels the L. E. & W. on the north. BEST IN THE WORLD.

The Case of Crozier.

WASHINGTON, June 14—With the exception of a few minutes devoted to the reading of the President’s message and tho time necessary to confirm two nominations at the beginning of the session, the Senate spent the entire day ysRerday in considering the nomination of Capt. William Crozier to be chief or the bureau of ordnance. Senator Proctor referred to the fact that Captain Croxler Is the patentee of the BufllnsrtonCrozler gun carriage, and he and others who stood with him asserted that no officer possessing such an interest should be put at the head of a bureau which controls the use of such patents. Senator Cockrell said the appotar-n >nt had been made because of the exceptional

mil OE BEK FOR IRE CORONMN

QUEEN SURROUNDING HER’SELF WITH PRETTIEST WOMEN

IN ALL HER GREAT KINGDOM

Alexandra’s Court Promises to be Famous for Feminine Loveliness— The Fair Vivians and Others.

UEEN ALEXANDRA is very like Queen Anne, in that she takes the slncerest pleasure in flowers and pretty women. Since her husband has assumed supremely royal state and influence she has slowly, gently, but firmly been retiring, from all the posts of honor about her person and household, the good but frumpy elderly ladies who ministered to the pleasure of the late gracious Queen. By the time the coronation takes place the English court will be justly famous for a galaxy of lovely girls and youthful matrons, all worthy the brush of Sir Peter Lely and the admiration of that notable judge of feminine beauty, gay King Charles II. About the court this preference of the queen’s for good looks, and good tempers, and good hearts is wellknown, and nobody was in the least surprised when two of the most picturesque twin beauties in Great Britain were chosen as her first maid? of honor. The Vivian Twins. < These sweet girls are the Hon. Doris and the Hon. Violet Vivian. Though they are twin sisters, they are not counterparts one of the other, and the Hon. Violet is esteemM' rather the fairer of the two. If the Hon. Doris is just a trifle less perfect than her tall, slender, chestnuthaired, violet-eyed. Rossetti-mouthed sis-

ter, she is keenly witty and quite as popular with the Queen, who is not so severe a stickler for royal etiquette as was her predecessor, and likes to hear of the Jokes and pranks of her shrewd maid of honor. The Hon. Doris is one of the few persons who can read aloud to the satisfaction of her mistress, who is hard o’ bearin’, but does not wish to be reminded of her weakness. Two Irish Beauties. Next after the Vivian girls, as these sweet maids are familiarly spoken of in London drawingrooms, the Queen is fondest of the Lady Butlers, the daughters of the Marquis of Ormonde, and are counted the two handsomest women in Irish society. Last year Lady Beatrice Butler, the older sister, married for love the gallant General Pole-Carew, and her sister, Lady Constance, is invited to serve at court. Lady Constance is an all-round modern girl; almost faultless in feature and coloring; a finished horsewoman, an expert In and on the water, a clever water colorist, a maker of the most delicate varieties of fine Irish lace, a linguist and a charming companion. Unspoiled by Admiration. She yachts with her father, physics and advises and Jests with the Irish peasantry on her father’s estate, and is delightfully unspoiled by admiration and wealth. She is to take her turn as a court lady during the coronation, in association with one of the prettiest women and boldest fox hunters In the United Kingdom—the Hon. Ethel Gerard. The horse has yet to be found that this courageous young lady would fear to ride and yet, despite the fact that she comes of a long line of hard-riding maternal, as well as paternal ancestors, she is in no sense a horsey girl. Off her horse she is as frou-frou as a Parisian marquise, and she has long been a prime favorite with the Queen, who admires her high spirits, and her gentle voice, and big, ap. pealing gray eyes.

WILL NOT BECOME EPIDEMIC.

ONDON, May 14.—The cablegrams pent out from this town just now may make you think that the affair in Westminster Abbey on on June 26 is what all the world and his wife has been hurrying into London for to see. But really, except for a half-mile royal jaunt In public across Green Park, from Buckingham palace to Westminster Abbey at 10:30 a. m., and then home again some two and a half hours later, tired and hot and hungry—except also for some booming of cannon when the King’s crown is put on—there will not be much doing in London on the great day, outside of the wholly private ceremony in the abbey. That night things may be expected to w'arm up a little, and we shall doubtless discover whether the new verb “to maffick” has come into the English language to stay, or whether occasion for it died out when the first wild burst of joy at the relief of Ladysmith and of Mafeking settled down into dull apathy toward the progress of the war in South Africa. 'Arry and ’Arriet should be expected to break loose on coronation night, to deluge everyone with confetti and to tickle each other’s faces with peacock feathers, but the chances are that a large proportion of the extra million and a half or two who are to be packed Into London on

that night will feel as if they hadn’t j had their money's worth at the end of (

the actual coronation day. Seven Mile Progress.

It is to relieve any such feeling that | the King and Queen are going to make 1 a "progress” of seven miles through the ! city on the day after the coronation—and j that is what the world's “awaiting for to see.” The King and Queen will wear their crowns and robes of state, and will travel in what is perhaps the most gorgeous coach now In actual use anywhere in the world. Heralds and titled supporters and troops from all quarters of the globe will help to make the "Royai Progress” as brilliant an affair as the procession at the time of the late Queen’s

jubilee.

By the Lord Mayor’s Leave. Perhaps the most interesting point In the journey will be the imaginary line at the lower end of the Strand, marking the boundaries of the proud little patch in the heart of the metropolis which is entitled to call itself the city of London, and which has the Lord Mayor of London all to itself. Even Edward VII, King of Great Britain and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India, and all the rest of it, may not enter the city without the Lord Mayor’s consent. As the route of the progress lies partly through the city, a herald In wonderful raiment will ride ahead of the King to the boundary line at Temple Bar and after a quaint ceremony—"Who-Goes-There” business and blowing of trumpets, will politely ask the Lord Mayor, who will be in waiting to guard the City’s right, If the King may please enter the city. It is reasonably safe to say that the Lord Mayor will graciously concent. The widening of the Strand has cleared out the buildings that used to surround the churches so that they command a splendid view of the street, and each of them now is being inclosed with a mass of scaffolding which is intended to result in an immense “three-decker” stand capable of holding several thousand people. The topmost tier of seats will reach almost to the base of the spires, so that the entire bodies of the churches with the exception of their roots

will be hidden.

Carpenters and the Abbey.

As for Westminster Abbey itself, the amount of carpentry work that Is being done around it is a thing that makes folk who love the old church for Us romance shudder .and gnash their teeth. Every London borough which the coronation route crosses Is arranging for decorations to cost thousands, and British and continental firms are working overtime to furnish all sorts of ornaments. In the royal borough of Westminster, the decorations are to be unusually striking. Six miles of the coronation route lie in this borough and

the streets composing it will

gives plenty of fulness below, which with garlands and with parti-colored

streamers.

The finest scene of all, however, will be Just In front of the western entrance to the abbey, where a w’hole forest of imitation marble pillars will be raised. Each one will bear the golden figure of a saint, while, in about the center of the column, a crown and shield, emblazoned with the roya! arms, will be hung. From below these, graceful garlands will stretch from orte column to another. Besides these there will bf at least four triumphal arches, also in imitation marble, and also bearing the royal arms, besides being decorated with rich gilt. From the curves formed by the arches, loops of prairie grass, ornamented with different colored balls will hang.

Insurance Customs.

There is a custom that seems much more common in England than it is in America, and which is playing a decidedly prominent part in the arrangements for the

be lined coronatlon festivities—that of insuring swathed in red against every possible chance of financial

loss.

The proprietors of the coronation shows who have arranged special programs, and the managers of hotels and restaurants w'ho have doubled or trebled their facilities in the expectation of Immense crowds, all stand to lose disastrously In case of anything happening to prevent, or even postpone, the great ceremony. Therefore, most of them are Insuring against such an event Just as they would against

death, physical injury or Are.

The King’s lif® has been Insured probably some thousands of times during the last two months, in oases for amounts as high as $10*),000. The life of the German Emperor—whose death, of course, would lead to the coronation being postponed— is being insured almost as extensively. The live* of other continental rulers are being insuured by London tradesmen who

From End to End.

Another reminder of old times ia the plan to light up Great Britain from end to end on coronation night with immense bonfires.
