ured as a result of the PIttslleld acci
dent, but apparently h.id quite recov
ered from the shock. He stopped to
shake hands with those who pressed
about him to congratulate him on his
escape.

carriages In waiting, and was quickly
driven to the Baltlrnore and Ohio sta

sponse to the greeting from the crowd.
He spent most of the time between
then and his departure in conversation
with Civil Service Commissioner Oar
Held and with others who entered the
car to meet him. To a number he
, described the accident at PIttslleld. He
' Bald it was not the first time he 'had
fo provldentlul an escape and referred
to an incident in the battle of San
Juan, when gunshots struck down two
men close beside hlin. The president
told the PIttslleld story to the group
in the car with fueling and emphasized
it with gestuies. He said he felt In
normal condition -again.

PELEE'S MENACE.
Colonial OnS Says Destruction of
Mornc ijc Was Expected,
By Bullish c Wire, from The Aoilatcd I'rcsi.
Paris, Sept. 5. 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. No mention was made of a
now eruption of Mont Pelee.
A cable dispatch from the Island of
Guadeloupe announced the arrival of
the French cruiser Suchet at Base
Torre, the capital of Guadeloupe. She
reported that calm had been restored
completely In Martinique.
Castries, Island of St. Lucia, B. W. I.,
Sept. 5. The report brought by the
Royal Mall steamship Yare, which ar
rived here last evening from Martin
ique, of the loss of 2,000 lives through
the recent outbreak of Mont Pelee, re
ferred to the deaths since August 30,
and not to the loss of life resulting
from the reported outbreak of last
Wednesday.
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.

PRESIDENT ON
THE STRIKE
Mr. Roosevelt Believes the
Republican Leaders Could
Settle the Trouble.
By Kxelmh" Wire from The Associated l'res.
Philadelphia, Sept. G. The Record to
morrow will print an Interview on the
coal strike with President Roosevelt,
who passed through this city today on
his way to Washington. The president
Is quoted as follows:
"I am grieved beyond measure at the
difficulty In Pennsylvania and other
coal-producing states over thel wages
and kindred questions.''
"What remedy Is at hand?" he was
asked.
"There Is a remedy," said the presi
dent. "Do you mean that the government
of the United States can Interfere other
than a law-preserving body?"
"No," replied the president, emphat
ically. "What can be done?" was then
asked.
"I would refer you to the men at the
head of the Republican party, who are
In control of affairs in the state of
Pennsylvania. I am sure that their
conservative opinion of the difficulties
rampant will ultimately result In an
amicable settlement of this great ques
tion. Of course, politics do not enter
into the mining problem, yet 1 sincere
ly hope that the Republican principles,
which are framed alike for high and
low, will level the problem to an
ectulty."

DUN'S REVIEW' OFi TRADE.
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. This yeur
they can go about the work a trifle
moie at leisure.
