WILKESBARRE. Pa.. June 1 The ev
of what Is retarded a moat important week
In the progress of the anthracite coal
miners' strike, find the entire region . In
n apprehenslvs mood. At 7 o'clock to
morrow morning the order of the United
Mine Workers of America calling out all
the stationary engineers, firemen and
pumpmen unless the companies grant them
u eight-hour work day at present wages,
will go into effect and no one can foretell
the outcome of the new move.
Victory for either side will be of Im
mense advantage and both parties to the
controversy are striving with all the power
at their command to win. If the union
succeeds in shutting down the companies
the mine properties will suffer damage
that may reach Into millions of dollars, and
if the employers should be able to keep
the water out of their works without the
aid of organised labor It meana that the
power of the union In the mining region
has reached its limit and that all help
In the effort to force the mine ownera to
grant the demands for the army of 147,000
men must come from some outside source.
Both Sides Firm.
The mine workers say they will preserve
(he property of the companies, if the en
gineers, pumpmen and firemen are given
what they ask for and the companies say
they, will permit no outsiders to fix the
hours and wages of their men. Neither
side tonight shows the slightest disposition
to yield and In the words of mining super
intendent, "It's a fight to a finish."
President Mitchell said tonight that this
Is the first time la the history of his or
ganization that the union was compelled to
call out this class of employes and en
danger the safety of the mines.
There Is a fear throughout the coal
belt that the coming week will witness
more or less serious disturbances. To
morrow Is looked upon by well informed
persons as a critical day, but it is not be
lieved that any very serious trouble will
occur. It Is a fact that the labor leaders
bave counselled the striker to remain
quiet and commit no violation of the law.
It is claimed by the union that nearly all
of the pumpmen and firemen will quit work
and about , threes-fourth,, ef the engineers
will refuse to continue work. This claim
was privately admitted today by a com
pany official familiar with the situation.
To Brine Pressure sa Hts.
'While the plsns of the union have not
been made public. It is known that a thor
ough system has been mapped out with
view of getting out those men who will
refuse to quit tomorrow. A h6use to house
canvass will be started which no doubt
will have considerable effect.
The methoda which have been adopted
with regard to the nonunion men who will
take the places of the striker 1 not known.
Practically all the nonunion men to be
employed are now In the region. The com
panies say the number of those who bave
volunteered to fill strikers' placea has been
surprisingly Urge and that no difficulty
has been encountered In selecting good
men.
An army of approximately 1.000 armed
policemen sworn in under a law of the
state Is in the field tonight ready to pro
tect these men and the mining properties,
there are also scattered throughout the
country. It la said, about 1,000 men who are
doing secret work for the compaali
Every colliery in the coal belt has either
a board or a barbed wire fence around It.
At some ot the mines "camp" car are
lying on the siding for the accommodation
of the nonunion men, most of whom will
live within the colliery confines during
toe suspension.
Idle Miner Art laeeased. '
A Journey through the thickly populated
parts of this ((Wyoming) district today

greatly Incensed at the Importation of
atrangers. Those workmen who have de
elded to remain at work tomorrow also
cams In for considerable condemnation.
It waa extremely quiet around atrlke
headquarter today. President (Mitchell
pent the dsy In going ever correspondence.
His only visitors were Sheriff Charles H
Schadt of Lackawanna county. In which
Bcranton is located, and a friend of the
sheriff.
There were some speculations regarding
the object of the visit, but Mr. Mitchell
aid the sheriff was an old friend and hi
vlatt was merely a social one. Sheriff
Schadt today posted a notice at each col
llery in Lackawanna county, warning all
peraona not employed at the mines to keep
away from thoaa properties and not to vlo
late the law In any way.
Tomorrow marks ths beginning of the
fourth week ot euspenslon of mine work.
Mr. Mitchell said ha was well satisfltd
with the progress of the strike. He had
nothing to aay regarding the probability
of calllug out of the bituminous miners.
At the meeting ot engineers, foremen
and pumpmen in the collieries of the Bus
qu-hanna Coal company, Alden Coal com

their American welcome.
General Brugere, who occupied a seat at
the head of the banquet table, proposed a

"I unite In my toast of France and
America, not the France and America ot
120 years ago, but the two republics of to
day a toast to President Loubet of Franc
and to President Roosevelt ot the United
States."
Rear Admiral Hlgglnson then said: "I
regret very much to be obliged to Ore a
parting salute, as you of the French mis
sion leave the shore of America to return
to your home In France. It aeem to me
that this Rocbambeau mission ha been
most apropos. It has touched a tender
chord In the hearts of the American peo
ple, which but needed the vibration given
by this mission to give It its original force
and strength. There have been unveiled
here statuea of Rochambeau and Lafayette
and every time the president of the United
8tates passe to the executive mansion he
must encounter the statuea of Lafayette
and Rochambeau. He can never forget
their meaning, repreaentlng they do
the friendship of the country of France.
In parting, general, I wish you bon voy

ngelo Hellprln ascended
to the top ot the crater ot. Mount Pelee
this morning, in company with two guide
and Mr. Leadbetter. While on the summit
several violent explosions occurred, but
notwithstanding the thousand dangers sur
rounding him. Prof. Hellprln spent a long
tlm taking careful observations. Looking
down the crater he found a huge cinder
cone. The crater opening Is a vast crev
asse 600 feet long and 150 feet wide.
While engaged In this taak the Uvea of
the member of the expedition were con
tinually In danger and one particularly
violent explosion covered Prof. Hellprln
from head to toot With the viscid matter.
He persisted, however, and found, ae had
been suspected, that there were three sep
arate vents for the volcanic matter. Mean
while Mount Pelee seeming to resent the
intrusion of man belched out huge volumes
of steam, ashes and boiling hot mud. ;
Crater Act Together.
Prof. Hellprln made the Important dis
covery that the crater of Fallalse haa an
eruption at the same time ae the summit
crater and eject precisely the eame mat
ter. Both craters showed a new phenom
enon during the professor' visit when mud
was thrown up In high columns, while
heretofore the mud has bubbled or boiled
out and flowed downward In huge stream.
There la reason to fear that great damage
may result from the outburst ct thl mud
to the rich plantation still uninjured.
The ascent was made on mulea to an alti
tude ot 700 meters, the Hne of ancient veg
etation. There, leaving the mule that had
carried him, the professor proceeded on
foot to the site ot Lake Palmists. He
found the lake completely dried, up and
crossed the bed, passing up a slope to the
crater' edge. This, which had formerly
been a high bluff. Prof. Hellprln said, had
fallen into the crater. This Is the first
Important verified topographical alteration
noted. Prof. Hellprln remained at the
summit of the crater over two hour.
La Soufrlere Still Active.
KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent, May SI. La
Soufrlere volcano la still active. Another
eruption occurred at S o'clock thta morn
ing. It wae accompanted by a thundroua
noise and a shock of earthquake, ' while
volumes of dense smoke ascended to such
a height that they were visible from
Kingstown. The vapor formed a thick
eloud over the crater of the volcano and
thl cloud was Illumined a if by fire. In
the crater Itself lightning wa more vivid
than at any previous, time. No damage
waa done. With the exception of these
occurrences the night was quiet and the
weather fair. Throughout Friday the
crater wa capped with dense gray and
stiver clouds and sand fell heavily thla
morning on the leeward side of the moun
tain within a radius of eight miles.
The American scientist who started to
ascend La Soufrlere Is still striving to
reach the summit. During the Intervals
when the volcano waa quiet yesterday he
reached a point- almost half way up ths
mountain.
Island May Subside.
He report that the Island of St. Vin
cent may subside. There are clear Indica
tions, he saya, that a considerable portion
of the leeward district will subside. Owing
to the continued rain there have been
heavy floods in the windward district of
the island and many houses bave been
washed away or filled with mud. At Ra
bacca, the atorehouse, a large brick build
ing, waa washed into, the' sea by a stream
of mud. The wharf at Rabacca and the
cargo crane there are also covered with
mud. ,
. News ha reached here of another erup
tion of Mount Pelee on Martinique on May
27. Owing to the great quantity of ashes
which fell on the British Island of Do
minica that day it Is presumed that the
eruption which threw them out wa of
great severity. Mount Pelee I still emit
ting vaat columna of amoke and flashes
from it have been seen forty and fifty miles
from St. Pierre.
CRAZE FOR WAGNER DYING OUT
Fall Under the Ban of the Klsg and
' that Settle It with
Society,
(Copyright, 1902, by Presn Publishing Co.)
LONDON, Jun 1. (New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) The fashion
able Wagner craxe at the opera Is dying
fast. The Wagner nights, which up to the
last year crowded the house, are now the
dullest of the week and Wagner Is being
gradually aboved Into the background to
make way for the popular Italian and
French composers, who, while Wagner
reigned, were treated as relics of a barbaric
taste by opera-goers.
"Wagner night" will be the exception next
season and the singer who racked their
voices to pieces trying to interpret Weg
nerlan masterpieces bave a gloomy prospect
before them. There always was much af
fectatloa In the Wagner cult, and now people
who set the fashion in musle are tired
of It.
What I even more powerful In the form
Ing their Judgment, the knowledge the king
vow that he won't listen to any Wagner
opera again except "Tannhauser," which he
ia reported to have declared to be barely
tolerable occasionally.
All society is laughing over an extraord
inary mischance which baa Just befallen
Mrs. Brown Potter. Ashton Y Boor, well
Known Dona -street agents, got a message
the other day from Princess Bariatinsky
dated Paris, stating that at the Instance
of. Countess Torby, the wife ot Grand Duke
Michael, aba desired to engage the services
of Mrs. Potter for July 20 and hoped the
letter would find her dlaengaged. Mrs.
Brown Potter arrived, expretaed a willing
ness to go to Paris, to recite for the prin
ces on test date, although it seemed
an odd tlm for fashionable entertaining
there.
Two day later an answer was received
to the actress' letter a follows: ' "I am re
quested by Countess Torby to Inform you
that her telegram was banded by same mis
take to Mrs. Brown Potter. It wa ad
dressed to Mr. Potter, a nurse, who pro
fessional services are required for Princess
Bariatinsky at the date mentioned." This
was signed by Btoeckl, equerry of Orsnd
Duke Michael. So Mrs. Brown Potter re

DISAGREE 0N SUBMARINES
StaaT af Navy Think Them Useless

Yel-
WASHINGTON, June L (Special.) Sub
marina navigation, which once lived only In
tbs brllllsnt Imagination of Jules Verne
and thst famous product ef hi genlue,
"Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,"
is now aa sstabllshed fact, and It la this
fact that I giving the bouss oommttte on
tsvsl affairs eonsldsrabl difficulty la de
termining whether It shall equip ths Unltad
States navy more formidably by Increasing
it number of submarine torpedo boats after
.the type of the Holland and the Adder. Thla
question has again revived the old faud be
tween the staff and line cOcsrs of the navy,
a feeling that wa somewhat lessened after
tb passage of the naval personnel bill giv
ing the staff officers a rank thsy hsd never
enjoyed before, but which baa broken out
again In the consideration of submarlns
boats. The fighting men ot the navy, like
Admiral Dewey, wboe star I a flxsd planet
in the galaxy of American heroes for his
achievements not only at the destruction
of the Spanish fleet In Manila bay, but dur
ing the dark, trying day that followed:
Captain "Dick" Walnwrlght, who ran amuck
among the Dons at Santiago with his littl
boat, Gloceeter. and Lieutenant Caldwell,
Dewey' flag lieutenant. 'who stood on the
bridge of Olympta when It steamed over toe
enemy's mine and torpedoes In the water
of the eastern archipelago, all declare for
submarine torpedo boats. These men, who
know the destructive qualities ot such boat
through their Intimate acquaintance with
them, argue that they are a valuable and
necessary adjunct to the American navy and
aa engine of war posses annlhllatlve
power carrying intimidation to the fleet
of an enemy no matter how powerful.
Staff Oppose Subjmurlnes.
Opposed to these officer are Admirals
Melville and Bowles, members of the Board
of Construction, which practically domi
nates the policy of the Navy department.
Both Bowie and Melville, from the lofty
altitude of theoretical reasoning, cannot
aee the efficacy of submarine boata as a
naval wespon. Especially la this true of
the latter, Bowles admitting In a recent
hearing before the bouse committee that
if It was obligatory on blm to adopt such
craft, he would prefer the Holland boats
ae being the most un-to-date. Admiral
Melville compares submarine boats to mos-
qultoee buzzing around the ears of a com
mander, annoying, but not destructive. He
gives a most remarkable explanation ef
England's reason for adopting these ves
sels, which he terms "sneaks of the ea."
He stated- to the committee on naval af
fairs that It waa solely for the purpose
of diverting the minds ot the English peo
ple from the terrible disasters the British
empire was Buffering in South Africa.
Capteln Slgsbee of the Board ot Construc
tion is In favor ef submarine boat and
saya they carry a moral Influence that
Is simply tremendous. Such wa the state
ment of Admiral Dewey before the naval
affairs Committee In 1900. Among many
other things, he said: "If they' had had
two of those thing In Manila I never could
bave held It with- my squadron. The moral
effect, to my mind.- I Infinitely superior
to mine or torpedoes . or anything of the
ktnd. With those craft moving under water
It would wear people out. With two of
these in Galveston all the navte of the
world could not blockade that place."
Where e. Look fer Facta.
In discussing this matter recently Rep
resentative Loudenalader of New Jersey
said: "If I wanted expert knowledge on
the engines or machinery of a war vessel
I would go to Admiral Melville. If I de
sired thorough Information a to its con
struction Admiral Bowles would be the
man, but should I want enlightenment as
to It fighting abilities and what .It could
do at sea, warring against an enemy, there
would be no man more competent to ex
press an opinion than Admiral George
Dewey or Captain Richard Walnwrlght, and
they both aay the submarine boat is what
the American navy needs. Fact haa proven
more In this world than theory ever did or
will. Dewey and Walnwrlght deal' in
facta."
A great many Inquiries have come from
nurserymen throughout the country con
cerning the free distribution of nursery
stock by the Department of Agriculture,
because the seed distribution haa grown
from a email matter to enormoua propor
tions ths total number of packages ot
seed distributed annually by the depart
ment now Is In round numbers, 700,000
packages, or 3.500,000 papers. It appears,
however, that the supply of tree distrib
uted among congressmen Is by no means
large and there Is no Indication at present
that there will be any marked growth rf
the folly department of the government.
Each member and senator now has fifty
small trees at his disposal each year.
These trees are mostly varieties of nuts
not purchaaed from nurserymen. The Idea
appeara to be to experiment as to the advis
ability of taking up this branch of agri
culture, If It can be called agriculture. In
the varioua atates and territories. There
la at present no need for the nurserymen
to taks alarm at this Innovation by Secre
tary Wilson, but it must be remembered
that thirty or forty years' ago when the
seed distribution first began the value of
the "quota" for each representative wae
little It no greater than the value of the
treee now placed to bis credit annually.
And there is, of course, danger of a
growth ot thla new department in govern
ment charity.
Senator Work HI Pall.
Rather an interesting story 1 told of a
prominent senstor, which goes to show how
some people In congress can get about any
thing they want. This aenator has for
many years been In the habit of ualng the
house bathrooms whenever he felt the need
of a refreshing bath. Convenience of this
kind are provided In the senate, but It
has long been recognized that the attend
ants ot the houss baths understand their
business better than thoee in the upper
branch ot congress. Some time ago, in
the plan of reconstructing the Interior ar
rangement ot the house and its offices,
the old-fashioned solid marble tubs were
removed, and a there was no known
us for them they were broken up in order
that they might be more conveniently
carted away. Porcelain tuba of the finest
kind have taken the place of the old marble
onee and they give entire satisfaction to
everyone, except the senator above men
tioned. H insisted upon having a marbi
tub and in order to oblige him a new one,
beautifully carved, has been ordered for hi
particular, benefit. It la doubtful that a
single member of the house that Is, unless
he waa one of the so-called leaders could
hav secured such a concession, but ths
senator baa a "pull" and gets anything be
demands.

SELF LOVE RADICAL PASSION
Statement Open Sermon on Chnrlty
and Altruism by Bishop
Spanldlnc
DETROIT, Mich.. June 1. Right Rev.
John Lancaster Spalding, D. D., bishop of
Peoria, 111., thl afternoon In Light Guard
armory delivered the conference sermon
of the twenty-ninth conference of the Na
tional Federation of Charities. His sub
ject wa "Altruism and Charity."
"Love ot self la the radical passion ot
human nature," said Bishop Spalding In
opening. "All advance Is an ascent from
the primitive and superficial self towards
the trio self which Is born of the union
of the soul with truth. Justice and love.
l MaeuUtlc. The money paid ia never
the equivalent of the work dooX and the
laborer must look beyond the price he
good wll and the desire to be of help
with all be d.oee, and with all be re
ceives for he wUl shrivel Into something
that appeara to be alive but is really
dead."
Continuing he said:
a'To do good to enemies is now recog
nized to be the duty of society, not less
than of Individuals. We bave come to
understand that the real criminal Is often
the social body itself, rather than tbe man
or woman it corrupts and then punishes.
Our progress consists largely In the dis
covery of remedies for Ignorance and im
potence." f
The bishop referred In strong terms to
Improvident marriages saying:
'Reckless and senseless marriage are
inexhaustlve source of evil."
He declared that wedlock waa entered
Into too carelessly and aald:
"So long as this poison fountain remain
open, so long will vice and pauperism con
tinue to breed degredatlon and wretched
ness. Homes tbst are hells thwart tho
wisest efforts to reform abuses."
He referred to the tremendous Influence
of women and said:
"If they were more e acred, large minded.
lntelrl?en, unselfish and loving, three-
fourths of tbe depravity and sin which
make life a curs would disappear. The
fountain head of aocial good or evil, of
vice and crime, or of honor and virtue,
la In the home and the wife and mother
make or unmake tbe home."
Regarding the right kind of charity the
bishop said:
"The special vice of the thriftless and
delinquent is neglectness. We must train
them to forethought, consideration and at
tention and personal influence, not alms
giving Is the proper meana whereby this
may be accomplished. If we would save
them, we must save tbem from themeelves."
MEMBER OF A SUICIDE CLUB
Traveling: Man Kill Himself, Evl
. dently to Carry Out a
Pledge.
CHICAGO, June 1. A letter found In the
possession of L. Wachmin, a traveling
salesman, wbo committed suicide in a
North Clark street saloon early today,
leads to the belief that he waa a member
of a New York suicide club. From pass
ages In tbe letter it is thought thav an
other member ot the club committed sul
elde last week In New York. Wachman
fell dead while being served with a glass
of beer. Physicians who examined the body
declared it waa a case of poisoning. A
bottle of poison bearing the name ot a
drug store In a small town in California
waa found io Wachman'a pocket. .
The litter which leads to the theory that
the suicide waa a premeditated affair, was
from F. Wulff, New York, dated May 23.
The missive was written In German and
waa poorly spelled. From such parts of
It, however, ae could be understood,. It
was gathered that Wulff and Wachman
were members ot an organization, the mem
bers of which pledged themselves to end
their Uvea. One ot the passages .read:
"Will committed suicide at once and I
am sorry that we could not be together
and end It. I bad thought that we could
do thla business together."
Wulff also aaya that be had left a note
"under the door at No. 202 street."
Tbe name of tbe street Is not given, but
it Is believed - by the police authorities
that the etreet mentioned may be the bead
quartera of tbe suicide club.

(Copyright. 1902, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON, June 1 (New York Wcrld
Cablegrsm (Special Telegram.) London
burst Into wild rejoicing this evening when
the signing ot the terms of peace became
public. They were rejolclnga of relief, not
of triumph, but sooc tho Mafeklng spirit
began to assert Itself and within halt an
hour after the announcement union Jacks
fluttered from street csrs and house win
dows and noisy gangs of young men and
women paraded tbe afreets, blowing penny
trumpets, yelling patriotic songs and other
wise liberating their long pentup feelings.
But for a audden deluge of rain which acted
aa a damper, the orgy of Mafeklng night
would certainly have been repealed. Even
aa It was, when the rain cleared, the streets
again became thronged with roudy demon
strators, and the Infection of their en
thusiasm spread to the clubs and restau
rants where the conclusion of peace wae
generally toasted and manifestations alike
indlgnlfled and absurd were freely In
dulged In. Yhen darkness fell, the Ilium
lnatlons, remaining since the celebration
of the king's birthday, were lit, rocketn
were sent up and tbe crowds entered them
selves hoarse along tbe sidewalk until
a late hour.
Much speculation la caused aa to why
tbe announcement wa made on Sunday
Instead ot being reserved for the House of
Commons toworrow, and the explanation la
suggested that the ministry Is desirous
that tbe rejoicings should go off at halt
cock, because when tbe full terms be
came known they would show that there la
little to crow over, while tbe situation In
Cape Colony over the agitation tor the
repeal of the constitution is fraught with
the gravest peril. The terms ars expected
to be announced In Parliament tomorrow,
probably In the form ot a message from the
king, who desires credit for forcing th
settlement.
It is understood thst the Boer will be
permitted to keep their rifle and a limited
quantity of ammunition on swearing al
legiance. They will be promised autonomy
wunin a oriei period, tneir larma are to
be rebuilt and re-atocked and prisoner
will b repatriated wltbln a stated time on
condition that, they 4 take the , path ot al
legiance. It Is also stated thct the British
government ' wilt make a grsnt( lo the
Boer who prefer to stsrt again In another
country, including the British colonlea.
Stock exchange men do not anticipate
any big or lasting rise in prices, as tbe
announcement baa been largely discounted.
LONDON, June 1. An official cablegram
from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, Satur
day, May 81, 11:15 p. m., aaya:
"A document containing terms of sur
render waa algned here thla evening at
10:30 by all the Boer representative, aa
well as by Lord Mllner, tbe British high
commissioner In South Africa, and my
self."
The news of peace In South Africa, con
tained in the foregoing dispatch from Lord
Kitchener, was not expected In London
today. Soon after tbe receipt of tbe dis
patch, however, tbe news spread to tbe
clubs and hotels and was received with
much enthusiasm. ' The cburcn bells were
rung to acclaim tbe good new. A crowd
gathered at the Manalon house and tbe
lord mayor of London, 8lr Joseph C. Dums
dale, announced from the balcony that
terms of surrender bad been algned In
South Africa.
Lord Kitchener's definite announcement
of peace wo received at the War office at
1 o'clock In tho afternoon and waa com
municated to King Edward and el) tb
member of the cabinet before It was given
to tbe public.
Tonight the Sunday evening calm of th
London street waa broken by enthusi
astic singing, shouting and born blowing.
The hotels, the clubs, tbe public bouses
and the street wer not the only place
where the people were actively demon
strating their Joy. The peaoe new wa
announced in the churches today and by
some congregatlone It was received witU
applause. In- all the churches of London
prayer of thanksgiving wer offered and
special hymns sung.
PRETORIA. June 1. A proclamation,
which was issued yesterday in connection
with the signing of the peace terma last
night, declares that notwithstanding th
proclamations of Mr. Kruger that lntsrsst
on the bonds of tbe Transvaal republlo
would be suspended so long aa tbe war
lasted, such Interest shall begin to accrue
June 1.
June 26 and June 27, the days of King
Edward's coronation, have been proclaimed
public holidays here.
Jubilant nt British Emhnssy.
WASHINGTON, June 1. The official of
the British embassy here share tbe Jubi
lant feeling existing in London over th
termination of the war in South Africa,
Tbey view with much satisfaction the close
of the long struggle.
Official notice of the signing ot the terma
of surrender came to Mr. Ralkes, the Brit
ish charge here, in a cablegram from tbe
Foreign office. It was very brief and wa
in accord with the statements contained in
th Associated Press dispatches. It prob
ably will be communicated formally to the
United Statea government tomorrow. Noth
ing official has reached the department on
the subject from Ambassador Cboate at
London or from any other source. Presi
dent Roosevelt wa furnished a copy ot tb
Associated Press dispatch giving tbe new
of the eurrender.
The impression prevails in official circle
that the terms ot surrender named by the
British In their negotiations with tbe Boers
hsve been very liberal in character, Indi
cating the double desire to bring the war
to a clcse and to have this happy event
formally proclaimed before the coronation
of King Edward.
From a commercial point of view, tbe
reasation of hostilities will result bene
ficially to American export t South
Afrlc. Th reports issued from time to
tin of the foreign commerce by tb
bureau of ststistics indicate tbat they bave
suffered considerably store the beginning
of the war aeveral years ago.
