King Ser.d3 Congratulations.
King Edward of England has ca

Lord Miluer, the British bii;h commis
sioner In South Africa. The text of
the royal dispatch to Lord Milner is ns
follows:
"I am overjoyed at the news of tho
surrender of the Boers, and I warmly
congratulate you on tho able manner
In which you have conducted tho nego
tiations." To this message Lord Milner re
plied: "1 offer my deepest thanks for your
majesty's gracious message. I am
profoundly thankful that your ma
jesty's coronation will he celebrated
with peace throughout your South Af
rlcun ih iiilnions."

ties. I also heartily congratulate my
brave troops under your command for
having brought long and difficult cam
paign to so glorious and successful

To this message Lord Kitchener re
plied: "The army In South Afrlcahighlyap

Crop Prospect Brilliant.
Crop prospects as a whole are really
brllliunt, railroad earnings are enor
mous despite t lie small grain tonnage,
bank clearings are unite heavy not
withstanding the speculative dullness
and failures &i-e fewer In number
than in lerently preceding years.
Corn and cotton crop reports are
positively excellent and In striklns
contrast with a year ago. Winter
wheat Is turning out better than ex
pected in such states as Kansas,
though recent rains have Interfered
ith harvesting In Oklahoma.
Fruit crops promise to be very
large, and a favorable reflection of
this is already noted In sugar prices,
which nre firmer. Vegetables and
other t-iHir.try produce, shortened a
year ago, promise a heavy yield.
The pinch In anthracite coal Is be
coming tighter. New York reports
the greatest scarcity, and asking
pi Ices at wholesale for stove sizes aro
r.O per tou higher than a year ago-,
with resold retailers' stocks being
drawn for 20 to 40 miles around New
York. Light and heavy hardware
and kindred lines report unusual ac
tivity. Business failures for the week num

Went to Top of Crater.
The National Geographical society
has scored a great triumph through its
representative here, Professor Angelo
Hellprln, who on Saturday, with three
guides, ascended to the top of the
crater on the summit of Mont Pelee.
Professor Hellprln is also president
of the Philadelphia Geographical so
ciety. The volcano was active but amid
a thousand dangers Professor Hell
prln reached the summit and looked
down Into the huge crater. Here he
spent some time In taking careful
otservatlons.
He saw a huge cinder cone In the
center of the crater. The opening
of the crater Itself is a vast crevice
D00 feet long and'150 wide.
While Professor Hellprln was on
the summit of the volcano several
violent explosions of steam and cin
der laden vapor took place and again
and again his life was In danger.
Ashes fell about him in such quan
tities at times as to completely ob
scure his vision. One particularly
violent explosion of mud covered him
from head to foot with the hideous,
viscid and semi-solid matter thrown
out. Professor Hellprln still persis
ted In his study and observations,
however, and twice more was bo
showered with mud.
Excursion Train Wrecked.
An excursion train on the Detroit
and Mackinaw railroad, which left
Alpena, Mich., at 7:15 o'clock for
Saginaw, consisting of an engine and
12 coaches, and carrying over 600 peo
ple, was wrecked at Black River while
running 40 miles an hour.
One man was instantly killed, three
were probably fatally injured and
nearly B0 others received Injuries
of varlotiB degrees of severity, rang
ing from bruises and ruts to broken
limbs.
The excursion was under the au
spices of tho German Aid society of
Alpena. When the train reached
Black River the tender Jumped the
track. Knglneer Hopper Instantly set
the air brakes and reversed his en
gine. The sudden stop threw the first three
coaches off the track and Into the
ditch. The first car was thrown half
around and the next two coaches
plowed through It and cut It In two.

Police Giving Up Jobs.
Thursday night's shooting had a so
bering effect upon the Idle men and
boys In the valley and as a result the
Wyoming region was a place of almost
absolute peace.
The Stanton colliery, where the
shooting occurred, was visited by
hundreds of persons who expected to
see more trouble, but no crowds were
permitted to congregate In the neigh
borhood. The colliery is closed down
ns tight as a drum as a result of the
disturbance there. Even the coal and
Iron polite, with the exception of
four or live, gave up their jobs and
left town as quickly as they could

DEATH IN THE FLAMES
Fatalities In a Sanitarium Fire
at Chicago.
Most of the Patients Were Those
Seeking Cure of the Drink or Drug
Habit Horrible Death of Alderman
Kent Two Doctors Amorg the
Killed Thrilling Escape.
Chicago, June 10. Nine men and
one woman were killed and about 30
Voi sons were injured In a fire which
destroyed the sanitarium conducted
by the St. Luke's society, at the cor
ner of Wabash avenue and 21st street.
Tho society occupied the building
which was long known as the Hotel
Woodruff and for a brief period as
the Hotel Lancaster. By far the
greater portion of the patients re
ceived In the institution were those
seeking cure from the drink habit
and those who were addicted to the
use of drugs. When the fire broke
out, there was on the fifth floor a
number of patients suffering from
delirium tremens, - and some wbo
were deranged by drugs.
Several of these were strapped to
their beds and it was found Inpossi
ble to save them so rapidly did the
Are spread through the building. Tho
list as far as known, although It la
possible that the list of dead will be
increased later. Is as follows:
The dead.
S. J. Newell.
Carl A. Carlson.
Joseph Harrington.
Samuel Dalzell.
Dr. J. T. Stanton.
George A. Rlbbeck, Hillsdale, Mich.,
William Kent, alderman of the 4th
ward, Chicago.
John B. Knapman.
Mrs. M. Baumann.
B. II. Boyd. 78 years of age and
member of medical staff of the insti
tution. The fire originated in the basement
of the building and spread rapidly
to the upper stories through the ele
vator shaft. The blaze was discovered
by James Newell, a grocer who was
driving through the alley in the rear
of the building. He noticed smoke
coming from one of the basement
windows and ran Into the engine
room to discover its cause. Behind
the boilers in the center of the cellar
and within a few feet of the elevator
shaft he saw a small flame.
The next Instant the flames were
caught by the draught in the elevator
shaft and carried up with a roar.
Newell shouted to several men In the
alley to give the alarm and to alarm
the Inmates of the building. Several
hurried to do this, but by the time
they reached the first floor of the
building the flames had been rarrle I
to the roof, had eaten through It and
were leaping high In the air.
As the cry of fire rang through the
building, patients sprang from their
beds and before they could be prevent
ed, several had jumped from the win
dows to the pavement. The fire de
partment was on the scene within a
few minutes and as the windows
were filled with people shireklng for
help, the firemen devoted their flr.-t
efforts to save lives and allowed the
fire to burn. While this was the
means of saving a large number of
people who were carried down ladders
by the firemen, it gave the fire such
headway that there was almost no
chance for those on the upper floors
of the building to make their escape
and such of them as were not suffo
cated, were killed or badly Injured
by leaping from the windows.
Alderman Kent was in a room on
the fifth floor with his attendant, A.
W. Wattles. The alderman, who hns
been totally blind for many years,
was In a straightjacket, and his hands
were manacled to a belt that passed
around his waUt. When the alarm
of fire was sounded Wnltles ran to In
vesigate. lie found the elevator shaft a mass
of llanies and ran back to help tho
alderman, who, blind and unable to
do anything with his hands, was al
most mad with fear and was shouting
like an Inano person. He had groped
his way to the door and by the time
his attendant had reached him had
fallen to the floor overcome with
smoke. Wattles seized him and tried
to drag him down the hall to a place
of safety but Kent had become so
crazed that it was almost Impossible
to do anything with him. Wattles
ifas flnaaly compelled to run for his
life as the flames were already scorch
ing his clothing. He ran to a win
dow on the south Bide of the building
across which were iron bars. Wat
tles managed to tear two of these
from their fastenings and two other
men who had followed him climbed out
on the sill. They were seen by the
firemen who called to them to remain
where they were and they would save
them. A ladder was run up as high
as possible and the two men with
Wattles we.e taken down.
He became crazed with excitement
and not waiting for the return of tho
firemen sprang for a net which some
men were holding on the sidewalk
beneath. He fell partly in it and
partly on the sidewalk and sustained
Injuries which probably will cause
his death in a short time.
Kent was left lying on the floor of
his room, and evidently died of Fuffo
cntinn. His body was badly binned
after death. Three hours after the
outbreak of the fire it was found on
tho floor of his room, one leg burned to
a ciisp. and the head burned off. He
was Identified by nuans of his cloth
ins.
TROOPS MAV BE CALLED.
Coal and Iron Police Totally Unable
to Guard the iV.ir.cs.
Wilke.s-Ilarre, Pa., June 7. It is
expected here that the troops will be
called cut before the end of the week,
as by that time the sheriff will find
he is unable to cope with the mobs
which have been gathered about tht
mines during the last few days. When
Sheriff Jacobs came to town he found
some difficulty in getting deputies,
Men he had selected to serve he could
not find. He is not now proceeding
very rapidly, and hardly expects to
have a large enough force on hand
to furnish all the protection required.
The Coal and Iron police employed
are entirely Inadequate to protect the
mines and the operators are deter
mined that unless the sheriff can at
once furnish them protection, they
will Insist upon the troops being called
out.
The burning of the fences at tho
Hollenbeck colliery, which lasted for
three hours, proved the local police
and the guards at the colliery could
do nothing and the mob had free
sway. This place Is within three
blocks of President Mitchell's head
quarters, and the shouting and shoot
Ing could be plainly heard while tho
flames were visible from the roof.
With such lawlessness, the operators
say, It Is time the county and state
authorities furnish them with protec
tion and they will demand it.
PRESIDENT CANNOT ACT.
Law Upon Which New Yorkers De
pended Repealed Four Years Ago.
New York, June 7. The board of
trade and transportation received a
telegram from President Roosevelt
apprising them that he would be glad
to receive the committee appointed by
the board to ask the president to ap
point a committee to take steps look
ing towards the settling of the anthra
cite coal miners' strike.
The telegram, which was signed by
George B. Cortelyou, secretary to the
president, pointed out that the law
empowering the president to act in
instances similar to the anthracite
miners' strike was repealed In 189S,
but added that the president would be
glad to see the committee If it de
cided to visit him.
After considering the fact that tho
law had been repealed, the committee
decided not to visit the president.
Burglars Damaged Safe.
Harrisburg, Pa., June 7. The dial
plate of the Bate of the Duncannon
National bank of Duncannon. 14 miles
west of here, was blown off by burg
larg9 early Friday. The other dam
age to the safe was slight, and the
vault was net entered. The burglars
got about $5 in small change, which
was In a drawer and a revolver. Tho
noise aroused the people of the town
and those In the vicinity of the bank
saw five men nt the bank. A posse
of citizens quickly formed and chased
the robbers. Several shots were
fired, but apparently did not take ef
fect. Not Ready For Morgue.
Beaver Falls, Pa., June 7. Thurs
day afternoon Henry Toy, 16 years old
while sunning himself on the top of
a high rtono wall along the rivet
front, fell asleep, rolled off the wall
and fell headlong to the rocks below
a distance of 2"- feet. He was to nil
appearance dead and the blood run
ning from his ears and mouth. Un
dertaker Algeo was telephoned for tc
haul him to the morgue, but before
the wagon arrived the supposed dead
boy came to life. Jumped up and want
ed to fight the entire crowd, think
ing a joke was being played on him.
He Is badly but not seriously hurt.
Foils Jail Delivery.
Franklin, Pa., June 7. The watch
fulness of Sheriff McCtillum and Di p
uty Sheriff McDougal prevented at
least one escape from the county jai'
here. The sheriff and his deputy
heard a suspicious tapping against the
wall and investigation revealed the
fact that the bars of the cell occupied
by Jesse Manson, who is serving an
extreme jail sentence, were almost en
tirely cut away. In the cell were
found knives, soap and ropes made
from blankets.
Effects of Coal Strike.
Albany, June 7. Canal statistics
given out here show the effect of the
coal strike In the tonnage. Last
year during the last week In May the
coal tonnage was 50,978, whilo this
year for the same period the anthra
cite shipments dropped to 10,131, a de
crease of more thnn 49,000 tons. The
total tonnage in tho canal during the
past week was 160.941, as against
175,145 for the corresponding week of
last year.
Notice to Vacate Houses.
Northrork, W. Va., June 9. The coal
operators here have given notice that
all strikers must vacate company
houses. Several hundred non-union
men were at work here Saturday. The
strikers met Saturday and It is be
lieved violence will be resi-rted to if
