Coronation Mont Pelee Still Active
Large Tannery Burned.
Colonel John P. Gaynor and Cap
filn W. D. Greene, harbor contractors,
who forfeited their bail at Savannah
early In March and lied to Canada,
were arrested at Quebec by officers
connected with the United States se
cret service and Chief Carpenter of the
Montreal detective force. The ninu
were hurried on board a swift little
tug which had been kept in waiting
at the wharf and 10 minutes after
Greene and Gayuur were safely on
hoard the beat steamed out into the
river and started toward Montreal.
Tho ofikers moved so quickly that
neither U the prisoners was given an
cppoituuity to consult with counsel.
When uotilled of her husband's ar
rest Mrs. Guynur at once consulted
Mr. Tachereaii, her husband's at
torney. A tug was chartered and an
attempt was made to overtake tho
b)ut in which Gaynor and Greene
were being carried away. After a
ehort chase it was seen by those on
btuid the pursuing tug that it would
be impossible to overtake the detec
tive's beat, which was the Spray,
one of the swiltcst tugs on the St.
Lawrence, and tlie pursuit was aban
doned. On retunng to this city It was de
rided to charter a special train and
attempt to head off the Spray at some
point between this city and Montreal.
Tim lus Spray, with Chief Carpen
ter, Canadian police, his aides and
Colonel Gaynor and Captain Greene,
prisoners, passed Three Rivers under
a full head of steam. Two Quebec po
licemen and two detectives who ar
rived there by special train went to
the wharf and remained there In wait
ing for the Spray.
They held the ferry beat Glacial In
readiness to go out Into midstream
when the Spray hove Id sight. Sud
denly the lecked-for tug appeared and
the ferry hurried out Into midstream
but the fleet little tug was ploughing
through the waves at a rapid speed and
before the ferry reached the middle of
the river the Spray was a 100 yards
In the lead and gaining rapidly. The
rliEsc-wu8 kept up for two miles, but
It was a hopeless rr-ce and the ferry
and officers returned to the city. At
8 o'clock tho officers again boarded
the ferry boat and started for Sorcl,
hoping to overtake the Spray at that
point, but they were not able to do
so.
Messrs. Gaynor and Greene are
guests at the Windsor hotel In Mont
real, each guarded by a local de
tective, with a force of United States
secret service agents unofficially in
reserve.
They will not go back to Quebec,
much as they and their friends do
sire it. and iu spite of the writ of
habeas crrpes granted by Judge An
drews cf Quebec directing Chief De
tective Carpenter to return his pris
oners to that city.
It was stated that the provincial
governor hud instructed Judge I.a
fontaine to obey the writ of hnbeaa
corpus, but the jurte says thai, all
he knows about the case is that he is
sued a warrant and that the men
railed for In that document were pro
duced before hiin. Ho had remanded
the prisoners until Monday morning
and expected that they would be then
produced before him.
Legal opinion In Montreal Is that
habeas corpus proredings rannot be In
stituted until Judge Lafontaine has de
rided the rose laid before him. Then
If he commits them tor extradition
proceedings nf that nature will be In
order.
Captain Freeman's Sufferings.
The Norton line steamer Etona,
Captain Canted, has arrived at New
York from the River Plata, via St.
Lucia, where fhe called for bunker
coal on May 10.
"At St. Lucia on May 11," said
,aptain Cantell, "1 went on board of
the Eiithh steamer llcddam, which
had escaped from the terrible volcanic
eruption at Martinique three days be
fore. "The ship was covered with a mass
of fine bluish grey dust or ashes of cement-like
appearance. In some parts
It lay two feet deep on the decks. This
matter had fallen In a red hot state all
over tho steamer, setting fire to every
thing it struck that was burnable, and
when it fell on tlie men on board
burned off limbs and large pieces of
flesh. This was shown by finding por
tions of human remains when the
decks were cleared of the debris.
"The rigging, ropes, tarpaulins, sails
and awnings were charred or burned
and most of the upper Btanchions and
spars had been swept overboard or
deetroyed by the fire. Skylights were
smashed and cabins were filled with
volcanic dust.
"I visited tho captain nf tho Roddam
In the hospital at St. Lucia, where
he gave me an account of his tprriblc
experience. He had Just arrived and
anchored at St. Pierre, Martinique, on
tho morning of Thursday, May 8.
"Tho captain, suffering the great
est agony, mcceedeil in navigating his
vessel safely to the port of Castries,
St. 1 in la. with IS dead bodies lying
on the deck and human limbs scat
tered about. A sailor stood by con
stantly wiping the captain's injured
eye?.
"I think the pel foriiiauce of U.
Roddam's captain was most wonderful
dud the more so when I bsw his pit
iful condition, t don't understand how
ho kept up; yet when the stcamor ai
rly ed at St. Lucia and medicai assist
ance was procured, this brave man
asked the doctors to attend to the
others first and refused to be treated
until this was done.
Young King's Coronation.
Along the entire route from the
royal palace to the cortes, the new
King of Spain was the object of the
host frantic cheering and enthusiasm
ever seen in Madrid. He kept inces
santly putting his head and arms out
of the carriage window, bowing and
acknowledging the acclamations of the
people. He was clearly affected by
the fever of enthusiasm that was pre
vailing.
On his entrance to the cortes all
those present, regardless of etiquette
hurst out In cries of "Long live the
King," and the cheering lasted for fully
10 minulrs. Throughout all this .the
kin:,' maintained a smiling face and
repeatedly bowed his acknowledg
ments. When silence was finally restored
Alfonso In a loud, firm voice which
could he heard everywhere, gave the
order. "Sii down." There was no tre
mor lu his voice nor a trace of emo
tion. Then he pronounced the oath
In the same firm voice, as follows:
' I swear by God upon these holy
r-iMc6 to keep the constitution and
laws. If I do so may god reward
me. If I fail may He hold me to ac
count." The queen mother has written a let
ter to Prime Minister Sagasta thank
ing the people for their loyalty dur
ing her regency. The queen mother
has conferred upon the special en
voys to the coronation the order of the
Grand Cross of Carlos III, and upon
President Loubet of France the order
of the Golden Fleece.
The special envoys were entertained
at a banquet at the palace. Dr. Curry,
the American representative, occupied
the place of honor next to the princess
of the Asturias, who sat on the
king's right.
Report on Trade Conditions.
Conditions governing trade lack
uniformity and explain irregularity In
advices from different sections. The
prominent feature Is, of course, the
favorable character of nearly all crop
advices (winter wheat excepted,) but
even hero the Improvement since May
1 has neutralized much that was
unfavorable before.
The effect of the copious rains In the
west has been in a high degree favor
able and Is reflected In Improved buy
ing from Jobbers for fall delivery.
Briefly Btated the winter wheat yield
will be heavily reduced from last
year's bumper crop, but the outlook
even here Is better than In ISOfl,
while spring wheat promises well (pre
sent prices not favoring a heavy de
crease in acreage) and the area in
corn will be enlarged by turning plow-ed-up
winter wheat land Into thut
cereal.
Oats promise well, and cotton-crop
advices are also more favorable.
Produce prices and dairy products
are weakening as supplies increase,
but meats are still high and perma
nently lower prices are not looked
for until autumn.
Thr cereals are still strong des
pite good crop reports, the strength
of the statistical position of wheat
particularly Inducing a bullish feeling.
Cash wheat, flour and corn are still
higher on tlie week.
Business failures for the week num
ber 1!0 as against 179 last week; 192
In this week last year. 153 In 1900,
1(18 In 1S99 and 211 in 1S98.
Resigned Leadership.
Lewis Nixon, leader of Tammany
Hall for nearly six months, resigned
his position as leader Thursday at a
meeting of the district leaders
When Mr. Nixon arrived at Tam
many Hall ail the 37 leaders were pie
sent. As soon us the meeting hud
been called Mr. Nixon said;
"Gentlemen I have decided to re
sign as the leader of Tammany Hall.
This resignation Is absolute and pos
itive and will not be withdrawn. I
wish It to take effect Immediately.
I feel that I cannot retain my self
respect and still remain the leader of
Tammany Hall. My decision Is un
alterable." Numerous rumors were current
about the hall regarding the future
policy of the organization. The most
persistent one and one that was en
dorsed by several leaders was that
there would be no actual leader of
Tammany Hall for some time to come.
This was coupled with a rumor that
the finance committee would be al.ol
Ished ns well as the chairman of this
committee. The chairman, who Is
"ow Lewis Nixon, and was Hlchard
Croker, has always been the lender of
Tammany Hall, and had the handling
of the funds of the organization.
Mont Pelee Still Active.
Great flashes of bright light wers
emitted from Mont Pelee, Martinique,
between 10 and 11 o'clock Thurs
day night. They were visible from
Fort de France. Thick, glowing red
clouds. IiiterspeMed with flashes of
light, were Issuing from the volcano.

Mnrigot, Saint Marie and La Trlnite
are panic stricken.
Large Tannery Burned.
Moenche's large tannery at Cattar
augus, N. Y.,- one of the principal In
dustries of this place, was destroyed
by fire which was discovered nt mid
night. Tlie plant was valued at J300,
no and employed 400 men. The fire
had made considerable headway be
fore an alarm was sounded and the
department could do but little to check
the flames. The umount of insuruuee
on the 'uuciy is not known.
WARNED OF THEIR FATE
Letters Mailed by V.ctims Jus
Before the Eruption.
Letters Tolci of Country People Flock
ing to the City Enclosed Samples
of the Ashes Which Were Filling
the Street! and Houses a Week Be
fore the Final Horror.
Paris, May 20. Martinique mails
forwarded just prior to the disaster
arrived hero Monday. The newspa
pers print a number of private letters
from St. Pierre giving many details
of events immediately preceding the
catastrophe. The most interesting of
these is a letter from a young lady,
who was among the victims, dated
May 3. After describing tho aspect
of St. Pierre before dawn, the town
being lit up with flames from the vol
cano, everything covered with ashes
and the people greatly excited yet not
panic-stricken, she said;
"My calmness astonished me. I am
awaiting the event tranquilly. My
only sultering Is from the dust which
penetrates everywhere, even through
closed windows and doors. We are
all calm. Mamma is not a bit anx
ious. Edith alone is frightened. If
Ceath awaits us there will be a num
erous compuny to leave the world.
Will it be by fire or asphyxia? It will
be what God wills. You will have our
last thoughts. Tell brother Robert
that we are still alive. Tl.is will, per
haps, be no longer true when this let
ter reaches you."
The Edith mentioned was a lady
visitor who was among the rescued.
This and other letters enclosed sam
ples of the ashes which fell over the
doomed town. The ashes are a bluish
grey, impalpable powder, resembling
newly ground flour and slightly smell
ing of sulphur.
Another letter, written during tho
aftornoon of May 3, says;
"The population of the neighbor
hood cf the mountain Is flocking to
the city. Business Is suspended, the
inhabitants are panic-stricken and the
firemen am sprinkling the streets and
roofs, to settle the ashes, which are
filling the air."
These and other letters seem to 'n-
dicnto that evidences of the impend
ing disaster were numerous five days
before it occurred.
It Is difficult to understand how It
was that a general exodus of the pop
ulation of St. Pierre did not take
place before May 8.
Still another letter says:
"St. Pierre presents on ospect un
known to the natives. It is a city
sprinkled with grey snow, a winter
scene without cold. The Inhabitants
cf the neighborhood are abandoning
tholr houses, villas and cottages and
are flocking to the city. It is a cur
ious pell-mell of women, rhlldren and
farefooted peasants, big, black fel
lows loaded with household goods.
The air Is oppressive; your nose
burns. Are we going to die aspyxiat
ed? What has tomorrow in store for
us? A flow of lava, rain or stones or
a cataclysm from the sea? "Who can
tell? Will give you my last thought
if I must die."
A St. Pierre paper of May 3 an
nounces that an excursion arranged
for the noxt day to Mont P'dee had
been postponed as the crater was In
accessible, adding that notice would
be Issued when the excursion would
take place.
