EXPERTS TELL OF WHO DAMAGE ON ST. VINCENT THERE IS MUCH WIDER DEVASTATION THAN ON THE ISLAND OF MARTINIQUE. (Copyright, 1902, N.Y. Herald.) NEW YORK. June 7.—Captain Barry, of the cruiser Dixie, just returned from bear ing supplies to the volcano victims in the West Indies, said regarding conditions in the islands: ••Conditions are not as bad on Martin ique as on St. Vincent, because on Mar tinique the people are fairly well supplied with everything and there is no danger in future eruptions. Only' a small area of twelve square miles has been devastated, but on St. Vincent the destruction extends over a third of the island. Plantations, orchards and everything have been ruined and the means of subsistence have been taken away from the people and thou sands have been left in need of some kind of support.” Os the scientific results of the Dixie s expedition Prof. I. C. Russell, of the Uni versity of Michigan, said: •The over-heated rock, bursting against the water near the base of the mountain caused superheated steam and burst the mountain open.” Prof. Hill who investigated the out break for the government, said: “Months will be required for the final scientific decisions. We have had an em inently satisfactory trip. The rocks and volcanic matter wuich we have collected must be cut into sections and analyzed before we can give extended opinion for publication.** Prof. Hill advocates the establishment of scientific observatories in the Carib bean district for detection of the immin ence of volcanic eruptions, so that human life may be saved—a scientific institution easily and economically founded and maintained. “I think Pelee will smoke and remain active for months.’* said Prof. Russell. "It probably will be a case of Vesuvius again. I hardly think Pelee will smolder and blow up in one gigantic explosion. I be lieve it will quiet down and gradually die away. A new lake will form in the crater, tropical verdure will grow where there is nothing but black gray ashes. "The people will build new villages and towns at its foot and again hold their t holiday picnics on its side and Pelee will remain quiet for probably fifty or sixty years. There should be at least a seismic instrument on the volcano, an instru ment. which records the vibrations of the earth. "It was operated by the Chinese centu ries ago. The instrument would give the populace ample warning. The siesmograph at Vesuvius for thirty’five years has done satisfactory and valuable work. There is absolutely no occasion for such tremen dous loss of life as occurred at St. Pierre. "I do not think Fort de France is in much danger from the volcano, but I do think she is in danger from a tidal wave, tn volcanic districts these tidal wavps are of frequent occurrence. They are caused t//' a sudden unheaval of the sea bottom. ** "In case of an upheaval Fort de France ' z would surely be wiped out. "As a safety position from tidal waves Mome Rouge is finely situated as it is built on a high ridge. It is about the only town in the volcanic belt so situated." JUDGE FEARS DEATH; WON’T ACT ON CASE LEXINGTON. Ky.. June 6.—John H. Johns, an attorney of this city, returned today from Jackson. Ky.. whither he went to defend Thomas Cockrell, charged with murdering Ben Hargis, several months ago.

During the recent strike of the teamsters the scheme. It Is said, was given a thorough and successful test. Once in effect, the packers will re quire but one-fourth of the present force of drivers. So antiquated is the use of teams and drivers, the packers say. that they placed each of their distributing depots tn the eity near a railroad switch on some line connected with the belt system. But until forced by the strikers to use the railroads, the packers had not at tempted seriqusly to carry out their plan. GEISER GRAIN THRESHERS.

BOIMLLIDE NINE LIVES LUST WHALEBACK STEAMER GOES INTO PROW OF BIG BOAT AND SINKS IN A VERY FEW MIN UTES. [ DULUTH. Minn.. June 7.—The whale back steamer. Thomas Wilson, Captain Cameron, master, collided with and was cut almost In two by the steamer George G. Hadley, Captain Fitzgerald. master, a half mile south of Duluth canal today, and nine men went to the bottom. They were mostly men of the night crew who had not time to get out of their bunks before the vessel sank. The names of the men loot are: AARON TRIPPS, cook. » FRANK, second cook. JAMES McDOUGALL .oiler. West Supe rior. i JAMES M. FRAZER, oiler Manitou Island. JOSEPH McGRAW, wheelsman. Sault Ste. Mare. Mich. JOHN CAMPBELL, look out, Greenleaf, Mich. JOHN CAREY, deck hand, St. Cathe rines. Ont. * THOMAS JONES, deck hand. WILLIAM Roebuck, fireman, Port Hampton. Immediately after the collision the Wil son pitched forward and went down. As she plunged, the crew, that was still on board, rushed to the stern, jumping over board as fast es they could free them selves from clothing. The Wilson did not live a minute after the collision. Dur ing the short time she was on top of the water, she teemed to be supported en tirely by the Hadley’s prow which was sticking In through her plates. • The Hadley’s steering apparatus seemed to be out of order after the collision. She swung around a circle several times and seemed utterly helpless. However, her crew did good work In throwing preserv ers to the unfortunate seamen in the wat er. In a few moments it seemed apparent that the Hadley was going down and the crew could be seen lowering their boats. The most of them got Into the boats but when the Hadley sunk to Within a foot of her deck she seemed to cease sinking and the men clambered back on her. The races of the live saving crew and the tugs were thrilling. The Hadley would not have made the shore had it not been for the tugs and that probably means that so many more lives were saved. The life saving crew did good service picking up the men in the water. The Wilson went down in eighty feet of water and only a few feet of her spars are to be seen. The Wilson was loaded with ore and belongs to the Pittsburg Steam ship line. The Hadley carried coal. BIRMINGHAM HAD bIgFIRE EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING BIRMINGHAM. Ala..

DRIVERS WIN STRIKE IN CHICAGO PRACTICALLY EVERY DEMAND WAS GRANTED THE STRIKING TEAMSTERS OF CHICAGO AF TER ALL NIGHT CONFERENCE CHICAGO. June s.—The packing team sters strike, which has disturbed the peace of the city for nearly two weeks, and which yesterday caused the most seri ous rlpting that has occurred since the American Railway union strike of 1894, came to an end at 4:15 o’clock this morn ing ass the result of a secret conference between representatives of the packers and the teamsters at the Grand Pacific hotel, which has been in session since 8 o'clock last night. < The agreement reached at the confer ence is a partial victory for the team sters, in that the packers have declared that tney will not discriminate against members of the union. The scale agreed upon is two cents lower than that de manded by the men. Jt Is as follows: Cart drivers, *a cents an hour; single wagon, 20 cents; two-horse, 22 1-2 cents; four-horse, 27 1-2 cents; six-horse, 30 cents. The men are to be paid full time from time of leaving barn until return,, with a deduction of half an hour for lunch.. They will not be required to work on Labor day. The document as drawn up is as fol lows: i At a conference held at the Grand Pa cific hotel on the night of June 4, 1902, between representatives of the Chicago packers and their, packing house team sters. held at the suggestion of Carter Harrison, the mayor, and a board of ar bttratlon, it was agreed, after due delib eration, to recommend to the two parties to the controversy now existing between the said teamsters and said packers. That a compromise of the said differ ences be effected by making the following suggestions for a compromise: 1. There shall be no discrimination against union teamsters. 2. The scale of wages for teamsters shall be fair. 3. No teamsters shall be compelled to work on Labor day. 4. Any teamster receiving more than the scale of wages stated shall not suffer a reduction of wages after this agreement goes into effect. The above and foregoing provisions were agreed upon at said meeting. The follow ing persons represented the respective in terests: Thomas J. Connors, Armour & Co. John Meyer, Armour teamsters. Louis F. Swift, Swift & Co. W. F. McNaughton, Swift teamsters. Thomas E. Wilson, Morris & cjo, E. T. Laidlow. Morris teamsters. 5. W. Wilder, Schwarxchlld & Sulz berger.

Apparently ignorant of the strike settle ment, men sympathizing with the team sters today dragged a meat wagon driver from his seat, beat him severely and then demolished the wagon. , The driver Was Robert Allan, employed by Irwin Broth ers. The strike having been practically settled and at that hour awaiting only the ratification of the Teamsters’ union, the firm sent out the wagon without a guard. At State and Harrison streets a mob had collected apparently expecting a rep etition of yesterday’s disorder. Allan was horribly beaten, but at the hospital it was said'he probably would recover. A second wagon had been sent out by Irwin Brothers, but upon hearing of the disaster that had befallen his predecessor, the driver turned back. Victims of the riots were reported as being well towards recovery today. Only a few who were taken to hospitals remain there. The more seriously Injured are sanguine of being out within a few days and there is no likelihood of fatalities so far as known. Chief of Police O’Neill is nursing a bruised leg, having been hit on the leg In one of the Fifth avenue riots. Inspector Hunt, who led the police during their nine hours of fighting, was hit three times and was limping today as well as displaying bumps on his head and a lacerated cheek and jaw. Many policemen resumed their poets today wearing bandages and plas ters, but otherwise none the worse for wear. Five hundred teamsters assembled at Corcoran hall, near the stock yards at noon, ratified unanimously the agreement made between their representatives and the packers early this morning. The meeting lasted over two hours, much of the time being taken’ up in waiting for laggards to arrive. When the agreement was read. It was greeted with cheers. The concessions made to the packers were explained and the explana tion was applauded. The concessions made by the packers were likewise dilated on and there were more cheers. It was ob vious that the men were extremely content with their fight and happy that the worst riots in Chicago since 1894 had passed into history. Only a few men returned to the yards ,to resume work. The great major ity of them declared their intention of put ting in about eighteen hours of sleep be fore again taking up the reins.
