Jr. Clerc, councillor general of the Island of Martinique, who Is now In Paris, says the recent destruction of Mortio Uouge was fully expected In Martinique, but that ho could not say whether M. l'Hcurre, for merly acting governor of the Island, had ordered the population to return to Mornc Uouge and neighboring villages. Ill a dispatch from Carupano, Vene zuela, a correspondent of the Figaro soys: "Violent detonations were heard here from 10 o'clock In the evening of Sept. 3 until 4 o'clock In the morning of Sept. 4. The sounds came from the north and were Identical with those heard the night of Aug. 30, during the vol canic eruption on Martinique of that date." The Colonial ministry has not re ceived news of any eruption of Mont Pelce since that of Aug. 30. and noth ing has been received from Fort-de-France since the press dispatches yes terday. The French government's dispatches go by steamship to the island of Gua deloupe and ure cabled here from that point. During the day, the colonial minister received a cable dispatch from Fort-de-France, dated Sept. 3, relating to the funds placed at.the disposal of the governor.

ARMY CLAIMS VICTORY. It Is Alleged That the Shore Guns Would Have Destroyed the Fleet at Newport. By Kxt-luslrc Wire from The Associated Press. Newport, R. I Sept. 5. Two cruis ers and three battleships of Admiral Higglnson's fleet ran the guns of Forts Adams and Wetherlll tonight, getting within broadside range for nil their guns before they were picked up by the searchlights of the forts. The fact that the Brooklyn got to the mouth of the harbor before It was picked up by the searchlights Is considered by naval men here to be a victory for the fleet. The cannonading woke up Newport as It was never aroused before. The gunners In the forts who were work ing the big guns for a few minutes had to desert them nnd quickly manned the secondary battery, The five vessels kept In almost under Fort Adams until within short range of the torpedo station, and then they appeared to anchor. The firing stopped and It was supposed the great battle was ended. In half an hour the ships suddenly steamed out of the hurbor In the s-ame order as coming In, the Brooklyn lending. The fleet escaped. If such was the Idea, toward Block Island. During the battle the smaller craft were In squadron formation to seaward and did not attempt to enter the harbor. The Puritan and Indiana were not seen. As theie was no time for communication between the shore and ships the manoeuvring was mysti fying. The army clplins that not only would Its guns 1 r swept the ships, but Its mines woi itive wrecked some of them in the elfunnel, so that escape would have been Impossible for any that reuched the harbor.

Steady Progress Is Reported in In dustriesPrices Well Maintained. By Etclushc Wire from 'the Associated Press. New York, Sept. 5 R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: Steady iirogiess Is .reported In trado and Industry. Distribution of merchan dise Is heavy and a healthy tone Is evi dent. Prices are well maintained by liberal consumption, which more than neutralizes the effect of enlarged facili ties for production. Domestic conditions continue much better than those existing abroad, and home trado receives more at tention than foreign commerce. Farm products have appreciated hi value owing to less favorable weather and producers will be fully compensated lor any de crease In quantity by the higher quo tations. Earnings of railways dining Au gust were ii.G per cent, lurger l.. mi a year ago and 18.9 per cent. In excess of 1300. Better deliveries of coke and liberal lecelpts of foreign metal havo lessened tho pressure In tho Iron and steel indus try and the situation Is a little less con gested, while quotations In a few lines havo been placed, and home consumption will continue to call for imports on a larger scale. Each week brings out new records of colce 'putput, tho upper and lower Connellsvllle regions together hav ing surpassed 300,000 tons and the holi days gave the railways an opportunity to lelleve the congestion. Unless rapid prog less Is made before the close of lake navi gation, less thnn two months hence, tho situation will become serious. Now plants are being added to the productive ca pacity as rapidly as possible, but in rail way equipment, especially steel rails, oiders are already placed for much ot next year's output. Quotations of foot wear iiro fully maintained at the recent advance. It Is noteworthy that buying has been heaviest in the finer glades. Ad vancing raw muteilal moused much anx iety among tho pin chasers of cotton goods and there were numerous mquhles for foiward contracts, but tho volume of bus iness" was not materially Increased. Agilculturnl conditions nro less satis factory and If the official estimate as to cotton I-. not exaggerated, tho yield will not be large enough to sustain consump-, Hon at the present inte. Wheat Is com ing forward fieely, though receipts do not equal tho abnormally heavy movement a year ago. Corn developed strength be cause of fears that Injury would bo dona by frost, and the movement Is very slow compared with lust yeur's figures. ASSESSMENT POR 1903. Board of City Assessors Is Now at Work on It. The board of city assessors are now at work on the assessment for 1903, and by making u systematic division of tho work, expect to complete their task easily by the first of llie year, The work Is not so aiduous this year us It was Inst, when the tilennlal prop erty assessment was made. This year the levy on personal occupations will take tho'greater part of time and ex ertion in making the assessment. To faclljtnto matters the board bus di vided the city Into live taxable dis tricts, and each member of the board Is assigned one district to cover. In former years it has been the cus tom for the board to Inspect in a body all real estate and buildings, As only a few new structures will have to be taxed this year, however, the members will be at liberty to do all thu assess ing In their own dlsttlcts, without uny conclave being held for inspection. Tho assessors expect that this year's work will tuke Just about two-thlrds the time consumed by last year's as sessment, even though they worked steadily every single day for several months on that assessment.
