PERILOUS SITUATION Geographic Society Savant Ascends to the Summit of Mount Pelee. “ • •■rAT THE TOP OF THE CRATER Important Facts Noted in Connection With the Recent Dread Disturbance On the Island of Martinique. —At the Crater’s Opening. Fort DeFrance, June 2. —The National Geographic society has scored a great triumph. Prof. Angelo Heilprin has ascended to the top of the crater of Mont Pelee in company with two guides and Mr. Leadbetter. While on the summit several violent explosions occurred, but notwithstanding the thousand dangers surrounding him Prof Heilprin spent a long time taking careful observations. Looking down the crater, he found a huge cinder cone.- The crater opening is a vast crevasse 500 feet long and 150 feet wide. While engaged in this task the lives of the members of the expedition were continually in danger and on° particularly violent explosion covered Prof Heilprin from head to foot with the viscid matter. He persisted, however. and found as had been suspected that there were three separate vents for the volcanic matter. Meanwhile Mont Pelee. seeming to resent the intrusion of man into her awful territory. belched out huge volumes of steam, ashes and boiling hot mud. Prof. Heilprin made the important discovery that the crater of Fallaise has an eruption at the same time as the summit crater and ejects precisely the same matter. Both craters Showed a new phenomenon during the professor’s visit, when mud was thrown up in high columns, while heretofore the mud has bubbled or boiled out and flowed downward in huge rtreams. There is reason to fear that great damage may result from the outbursts of this mud to the rich plantations still uninjured. The ascent was made on mules to an altitude of 700 meters, the line of ancient vegetat’on. There leaving the mule that had carried him. the professor proceeded on foot to the site of Lake Palmiste. found the lake completely dried up and crossed the bed, passing up a slope to the crater’s edge. This, which had formerly been a high bluff. Prof Heilprin found, had fallen into the crater. This expedition is the first important verified topographic alteration noted. Prof. Heilprin remained at the summit crater over two hours. Chinese Kebellion. Tien Tsln. June 3.—The Jesuit priests here are authority for the statement that the rebellion in the southern part of Chi i.i province is spreading. They say also that certain villagers of this district shot representatives of the Chinese government when requested to lay down their arms. One Cold Saved. Logie is logic, whether it tou'dies the affairs of nations or a cold In the head. The conviction, says Tit-Bits, was forced upon a Liverpool woman whose coachman, although he had been ill for .several days, appeared one morning gvith his hair closely cropped. “Why, Dennis,” said the mistress, “whatever possessed you to have your hair cut while you had such a bad cold ?” “Well, mum,” replied the unabashed Dennis, “I do be takin' notice this long •while that whlnlver I have me hair cut 1 take a bad cowld, so I thought to mehe If that now, while I had the cowld on to me, it would be the time of nil others to go and get me hair cuttin’ done, for by that course I would save meself Just one cowld. Do you see the power of me reasonin', mum?" Four Instantly Killed. San Antonio. Ttfx., May 31.—Four killed Instantly and six fafully Injured is the result of a gas explosion in shaft No. 5 of the Hondo coal mines on the Mexican International railroad, 75 miles from Eagle Pass.

TL’KBVLENT SCENES Pi >ta <s Strikers In Chicago Causa • Trouble. Chi-ago, June 3.—Riot and bloodshed ’Barked the progress of the teamsters' strike yesterday. There were numerous fights between the police an.l the strikers and their sympathizers. Streetcar traffic was stopped while the fighting went on. the police and employes of the packing companies were stoned, and at one place when surrounded by a dense crowd of men and women, the police, fifty strong, under the command of Lieut. Collins, maddened by the numerous stones with which they had been pelted, drew their revolvers and charged full into the crowd, which showed no disposition to retreat. Fists, stones and clubs were brought into requisition by the strikers, and the police used their batons and the butt ends of revolvers freely. When this fight was over there were a number of strikers needing surgical attendance. None was dangerously injured as far as known, however, and the wounded strikers were carried off by their friends. The fighting began on the West Side shortly after noon and in different parts of the city continued practically all of the afternoon. One hundred and sixty policemen were transferred from the South Side station to the stockyards at midnight to prevent trouble today. It is said that the packing companies have brought into Chicago several carloads of colored men and that the men will be placed at work. If this is done it is thought that there may be an outbreak in the stockyards, and the police are preparing to handle any trouble that may result. An Official Train On the Burlington Comes to Grief.

Columbus. 0., May 31.—Announo ment comes from a semi-official source that Governor Nash will refuse to pardon Frances ißngv.orthy Taylor and her daughter, convicted of kidnapping little Margaret Taylor. The governor will not take up the Taylor case until early next week. It is said that he has made a careful study of the decisive report made by the pardon board and that in view of the strong statements made by that body he will refuse to take action that will keep the two women out of the penitentiary. They were reprieved for 60 days and their time will expire June 10. First Trip His Last. Kingston. N. Y„ May 31.—Harry Hicks, an aeronaut, was killed at Kingston Point, a summer resort, yesterday. It was his first exhibition. When the balloon had reached an altitude of about 2,000 feet Hicks commenced the descent by means of a parachute, going slowly to about 800 feet above the Hudson river. For some reason he lost his hold and fell, striking head first on a sand-bar in the river. Killed the Peacemaker. South McAlester, I. T., June 3.— Charles Collard, postmaster of Kiowa. I.

LONDON GOES WILD Great Street Demonstration Marks Peace Declaration. London, June 3. —The announcement of peace in South Africa was celebrated in London last night with a wild repetition of the Mafeking celebration. Hundreds of thousands of people surged through the streets of London from Whitechapel to Buckingham palace. but never at any time did the crowds equal those which created the verb “to Maffick.” There was a tremendous noise in the streets, a pandemonium of horns and cheers and the coarse jests of costers, but the abandon which marked the announcement of the reliefs of Mafeking and Ladysmith was lacking. Women, many of them carrying babies, boys, drunken loafers and others, glad of any excuse to defy law and order, were the principal elements in the ragged processions passing and repassing through the principal streets. The crowds concentrated in Regent street and the Strand and let themselves loose. Women of the lower class jabbed men in the faces with feathers, flung an apology for confetti, and in turn were hugged and kissed by any man who found time for such a diversion. A few helpless policemen stood around and watched the fun. One of the favorite decorations with the crowd was a cluster of red, white and blue stripes wound around a tall hat. Very serious undercurrent of discontent probably Is responsible for the fact that Ixmdon has not shown the same evidences of rejoicing as were to be seen on Mafeking night. In •ome quarters the comment, on thia “peace with honor" ending of the war was that “Great Britain has the peace and the BAers have all the honor.” Hr Has Nothing to Say. Amsterdam. June 3.—Since the new# was received here that peace had been concluded In South Africa. Mr. Kruger has declined to receive visitors or express an opinion on the subject. The Other Boer delegates here are disappointed at the outcome and are not inclined to discuss the matter. Feelings At The Hague. The Hague. June 3.—The news of the'conclusion of peace in South As rica was received here with very mix ed feelings. While there Is g, 11( ra j satisfaction that the war is ended, unvarying regret is expressed at the loss of Boer independence.
