The last time I was thers, a few years ago, there were only two English- men and ‘one American resident at St Plerre, though that town did a good busi- ness with America in the way of food- stuffs.

The French cable company recelved cablegrame this morning announcing that the eruption at Martinique continues and that ships are afrald to go near the island.

It was for the benefit of the people of the French West Indies and authorized the president of the United States to cause to be pur. chased such provisioms, clothmg, medicines and other necessaries as he shall deem ad- visable, and tender the same in the name of the government of the United St to the government of France for the relief of citizens who have suffered Ly the late eartbquake in the islends of the French West Ind. ‘The bill appropriates $100,000 for the pur- pose and authorizes the secretary of war to In the course of a brief statement in sup- port of the measure Mr. Fairbanks sald: We were shocked by the Humors Feed on Humors The Sooner You Get Rid of Them the Better. _— In the Spring there’s an effort of Nature to You know this by the pimples and other eruptions on your face aud cleanse your system. body.

The bill was passed without further com- ment. The house failed to concur in the senate's actlon, preferring to let the matter go un- til Monday to obtaln more comprehensive detalls of the disaster. The United States government is willing and anxious to do anything within its power to ald the survivors of the terrible calamity on the island of Martinique. The difficulty is to ascertaln just what can be done and the extent of the needs. Then, teo, there are llimitations upon the power of the executive to proceed in such mat- ters. Secretary Moody and Secretary Hay have been deeply interested in the subject and while the former already has sent to the commandant at San Juan authorization to dispatch the United States steamer Po- tomac to Martinique in his discretion, Sec- retary Hay has empowered Assistant Sec- retary Hill with the duty of conferring with the Navy department to devise other plans of relief. Potomac Is nothing more than a large sea-going tug of very limited carrying capacity, either of passengers or freight. About the only useful purpose it would serve, In the opinion of the naval officers, Is to make a quick trip to Mar- or to the nearest approachcble point and ascertain from personal Inspec- tion the precise needs of the survivors, which may afterward be satisfied by sup- plles dispatched on merchant vessels. News also is awalted from Cincinnati, just arrived at San Domingo City, and it Captain McLean reports that the normal have been restored after the revolution at that place Cincinnati will be- come available as a rellef ship, although it would take three or four days to reach the scene. Captain McLean of Cincinnati has re- ported to the Navy department the arrival of that ship at San Domingo this morning. It is possible that it the political situation on the island warrants it the ship will be sent over to Martinque to afford ald to the survivors of the catastrophe. The secretary of the navy found, after consulting with Assistant Secretary Hill, that it would be safe to take Glncinnati awey from San Domingo. The reason for this belief” was the following cablegram from Consul Maxwell at San Domingo City: “The situation in San Domingo is im- proving. The provisional government has been announced at the seaports and for the most part in the interfor. All executive affairs are under the provisional govern- ment and Vazquez is the provisional pres- ident. It e possible Potomac has already left San Juan for Martinique, but there Is doubt on this point, because the Navy de- partment has not yet been able to secure a response to an Inquiry on this point sent by cable this mor. ng to the commandant of the naval station at San Juan. As a further precautionary measure Sec- retary Moody sent the following telegram to the commandant of the Brooklyn navy yard: ‘‘Order Dixie to prepare for sea as soon as practicable. Report when It can be made ready.” Dixle is a ship of considerable carrying capacity and would be better fitted than any of the regular naval ships to hasten to Martinique with relief supplies, which probably can be obtained more readily at New York than at any of the West Indian islands. As a still further measure of help the State department today cabled to United States Consul Ayme at Guadeloupe to pro- ceed at once to Martinique to report upon the conditions there and Inform the United States government what help is needed. The consul had previously reported that a French ship, supposed to be the crulser Suchet, was about to leave Guadeloupe for the wrecked feland and It {s assumed that he was willlng and even anxious to go along. VAST RICHES ARE LAID WASTE Northwestern Region of Guatemala is Reduced to Ruin by the Re- cent Earthquak SALT LAKE, May 10.—In a letter to the president of the Mormon church, dated April 23, from Paul Henning, elder and representative of the church in Guatemala, further detalls are given of the disastrous earthquakes in that country. Mr. Henning s: The whole northwestern region, one of the richest in Central America, is in ruins. On the evening of April 18 about 20 min- utes after 8§ o'clock the first shock was felt., This lasted from thirty to forty sec- onds and caused the wildest panic. There was no loss of life In Guatemala City, and the property damage was less than at first teared, though walls were cracke over the clty and many old houses were tum- bled in ruins. Ever since then the shocks have continued with more or less violence, The worst damage was done In the Ciy of Quezaltenango, the second largest in the Here it s estimated that from 6,000 to 6,000 people were killed. At the time of the first shock a violent thunder and rain storm was raging, The electric lighting plant of the city had been disabled, and ~ when the = people, panic- stricken' by the rumbling and shaking of the earthquake, rushed from their houses it was only to meet death. Stumbling and falling . in ‘the ‘narrow, winding streets .in total “darkness, save ‘when the lit up the crumbling city with an unearthly glare, the people dled by thousands under the falling walls, while other thousands were caught like ‘rats only to dle of suf- focation or drowning.

Right Food to Take Its Place, “The shortness of the meat supply and the high price of steak is not an unmiti- gated evil. On the contrary, it is a prob- able blessing,” says the Brooklyn Eagle. “If meat could be ralsed to a price that would make it prohibitory, it might still be of good result, because it would teach those who depend almost entirely upon it to widen their dletary and learn to enjoy many good things of which they are now Ignorant. To many, especially in the cities, there aro but three foods potatoes and bread. The weary I of this program, the unsatisfied but inde- finite longings for a widening of it, affect appetite and surely affect spirits and tem- per. ““The laborer goes to his work filled with meat, potatoes and bread. At noon he finds cold meat and bread in his dinner pail, and at night he is confronted by meat and pota- toes, sometimes separate, sometimes com- bined into a greasy stew, sometimes chopped into hash. “This kind of thing fills him, but in a T sense It can hardly be sald to feed Physiclans have discovered that a limited and unchanging diet lowers vitality and health.” Suek & tims as this gives every ome 2z opportunity to test the value of Orape- Nuts as & food and prove to themselves that it more than takes the place of meat and really fyrnishes more nourishment for the body and greater stremgth and vitality for the brain and nervous system; it is also o economical food that reduces the cost of living to the minimum: Grupe-Nuts ‘are probably entitled to the claim to be the most perfectly adapted food for human needs now extant. - The meat cater and the vegetarian are alike charmed with its crisp taste and the delicate flavor of grape sugar and the careful housewife s Attracted by the fact that there are fourtesn portions ln » 15c package.

LOUIS, May 10.—President Joseph Ramsey, jr., of the Wabash, after a con- sultation with his general counsel, Colonel Blodgett, has given out an official state- ment in respect to the reported shutting out of the Colorado road from the use of Wabash terminal facilities. He said: The statement that the Wabash company has tied up the traffic of the Colorado and shut that road off at Forsyth Junction, thereby violating the trackage contract, (8 without foundation in fact. The Colorado road is running all of its trains_and rocelving and handling traffic and cars to and from other connections in Mill Creek over the Wabash tracks, and there s no intention on the part of the ‘Wabash to prevent them from doing so. The Wabash has simply declined to con- tinue to handle and switch the Colorado cars in the Wabash company's own yards and on {ts own tracks, outside of the sidetracks and _mgnt-of-way cov- ered by the contract. We have no desire to interfere, with the Colorado company's traffic, but ‘are forced on account of the crowded condition of our own yards, and in order to take care of the Wabash com- pany's Interest, to restrict the use of our yards and facilities outside of the right-of- wl{. for our own traffic. This s all there Is to it. As far as the Rock Island is concerned, th s rado road over a month ago to the effect that we would cease to do business for that company in our yards after May 1 if they did not pay for the services performed for them dur{ng the pastdive or six months. In referring to President Ramey's state- ment, George S. Sands, president and gen- eral manager of the St. Louls, Kansas City & Colorado road, cited a decision of the supreme court, decreeing that the Colorado had a right to the use of the Wabash tracks, the terminal facilities and all other agents and employes for ewitching between Forsyth Junction and Elghteenth street. “Our contract with the Wabash people,” sald Mr. Sands, “is a yearly one, and we have paid up regularly. The last payment for 1901 was made December 31, 1901, “The Terminal assoclation notified the Missoyrl Pacific some time ago that It would not handle freight for our road. “The Missourl Pacific so informed us and we replied that we were ready and able to handle all of the business that company could give us. “’At the start of this controversy the Wi bash deprived us of our switohing fa ties, and now they have gone a step fur- ther and clalm we have no right to use certain of their tracks between here and Forsythe Junction.” President Sands said his people had not yet declded whether the controversy would be taken to court. SHOOT JEWELER AND NEGRO Thieves Fatally Wound Merchant ‘n Chicago Who Resists Day- light Robbery. CHICAGO, May 10.—Two robbers made a desperate attempt to rob the jewelry store of A.

QUESTIONS AUTHORITY OF PRESIDENT Honr and Spooner Agree with Prin. ciple, raunde Texan to Withdraw Amendment as Matter of Concilintion. WASHINGTON, May 10.—A lively debate occurred in the senate today upon an amendment to an army appropriation bill oftered by Mr. Balley of Texas, providing that no part of the appropriations by the measure should be used in defraying the expenses of the special embassy to the coronation of AKing Edward VII of Eng- lanad. Mr. Bafley contended that the United States should not send a special ambassador to the coronation of England's king or to the coronation of any ruler, when the coun- try thus honored did not extend a like courtesy to the United States on the in- auguration of a president, After considerable discussion the amend- ment was withdrawn and the bill passed Subsequently Mr. Balley offered a resolution which will be discussed later, covering the | point made in his amendment. To Ald Martinique ferers. A bill authorized by Mr. Fairbanks of In- diana, appropriating $100,000 to ald the sufterers of the Martinique fsland disaster was passed A blll for the sale of sites for Industrial plants in the Indian Territory was passed In connection with the bill Mr. Bailey of Texas regretted that it vested authority in the secretary of the interior, “for,” sald he, “if there is an officer of the government who does not know anything about the In- dian Territory, it s the secretary of the interfor."” A resolution which was offered by Mr. Harris of Kansas calling upon the secretary of the Interior for information as to the sale of Indian lands in Kansas was adopted Mr. Proctor of Vermont offered a resolu- tion, which was adopted, calling upon the secretary of war for information as to how many Barbette carriages have been manu- factured since July 1, 1893, and other infor- mation as to the disappearing gun car- riages. The resolution was adopted. Mr. Lodge called attention to the fact that & speclal embassy of the Usited States attended the coronation of the czar of Russia. “It," sald Mr. Balley, “we are to send a special embassy to the coronation of this monarch of Great Britaln we must here- after send an embassy to the coromation of every monarch, or else give an affront to the nation concerned. Courtesy Not Reciprocal. “If It be true that we have sent em- bassies to the coronation of European rulers I ask if speclal embassies ever have been sent to the Inauguration of the presi- dent of the United States? Are they en- titled at our hand to what they do not give to us? ““What I protest against,” sald the Texas senator, “is th That the greatest re- nublic in the world shall perform for a monarchy what monarchies do not perform for us.” It was pointed out by Mr. Lodge that the nower of the president to send a special agent was established 'thoroughly by prac- tice. It was clear that he had such au- thority. The president had appointed a special ambassador to the coronation of the king of Spain. There had been other cases of the appointment of simlilar representatives of the government. Mr. Hoar sald he sympathized with the statement that the United States should not pay a tribute to any nation, which that natien did not pay to us. That argu- ment, he thought, was unanswerable. But in this instance the special embassy had been appointed, and if any obstacle now were lald in the way of it that action could be considered as an affront. Withdraws His Amendment. Mr. Spooner of Wisconsin, while he felt the president had no authority to send an ambassador to any forelgn country without the consent of the senate, thought it would be a mistake to adopt the proposed amend- ment. A vote was taken on the amendment, which resulted 15 to 26—Less than a quo- rum. Mr. Balley then withdrew the amendment and the bill was passed. Mr. Balley then offered the following resolution: That it is contrary to'the policy of the United States to aceredit to any foreign government any ambassador, minister or other diplomatic officer or agent to especi- ally represent the United Btates at the coronation “of any hereditary prince or potentate. That no power exists {n the president of the United States to appoint any ambassa- dor, ‘minister or other diplomatic officer or agent and accredit him as the representa- tive of the United States to any forelgn government except by and with the advice and consent of the senate, as prescribed | section 2, article I, of the constitution of the United States.
