George Kennan, accompanied by Professor Heilprln nnd Messrs, .Tnc end and Vnrlnn, has arrived here after nn absence of twelve days. Professor Heilprln, Mr. Kennan nnd Mr. Vnrlnn have Ascended Mont Pelee. U'hey stood on the very edge of the cra ter and looked down on the Incandes cent mass within. This ascent was made last Sunday, nnd It was the sec ond time Professor Heilprln climbed the mountain. All the explorers nre In perfect health and good spirits. No accident occurred on the trip up the mountain, although the explorers were exposed to many hardships and dan gers. In an Interview with a corre spondent Mr. Kennan said: "I must preface all I hnve to say by paying the highest possible tribute to I'rofessor Heilprln.

"Five of us started for the crater of the volcano hist Sunday, nnd three of us reached our objective. AVe crossed Ijike Fulmiste, which is now dry nnd full of bowlders and huge, ragged rocks of trachyte, rhyollte and unde slte. We then climbed on up and reached the edge of the crater. We found it to be a huge chasm, or cre vasse, with perpendicular walls. "We could not see down Into the crater more than 150 feet. It was like looking Into a white hot furnace. The chasm opens out toward St. Pierre, but the enormous columns of stenm cut ott the view In that direction. There were hundreds of fumaroles all about us. What wns thought to be a cone of cin ders in the crater we learned in reality to be a huge pile of gigantic rocks piled up one upon the other. There were crusts of sulphur everywhere, but we saw no nshes or cinders In or near the crater. The whole vast bed of the old crater and of Lake Palnilste is emitting steam through thousands of orifices. The ascent was the most terrifying experience of my life." BASEBALL.
