; the Inhabitants of

Fort de France. Martinique. (By Cable).—It is now generally estimated that about 30.000 persons lost their lives at St. Pierre as a result of the outbreak of th^ Mount Pclce volcano last Thursday. How many perished in smaller towns and on plantations is not known. The United States consul at Guadeloupe, Col. Louis If. Aytnc, has made a tour of the desolate site where St. Pierre stood. From an inteniew with Colonel Ayme. wbo is a trained American newsnan. formerly of Chicago, the folfacts arc learned ing t awoke to find heavy clouds shrouding the Mount Pelee crater. All day Wednesday horrid detonations had been heard. These were echoed from St. Thomas, on the north, to Barfiadoes. on the south. The cannonading ceased Wednesday night and fine ashes fell like rain on St. Pierre. The inhabitants were alarmed, but Governor Mouttet, who had arrived at St. Pierre the evening before, did everything posible to allay the panic. The British steamer Roraima reached St. Pierre Thursday with ten passenprs. among whom were Mrs. Stokes and her three children, and Mrs. H. J. Ince. They were watching the rain of ashes when, with a frightful ro

UVE NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS. UrMStles Envoy's Espessss. A lively delate occurred in the Senate ipon an amendment 10 the Army Appropriation Bill offered b/ Mr. Bailey, of Texas, providing that no part of the appropria! ions made Ivy the measure should be used in defraying the expenses of the special embassy to the roronation of King Edward VII. of England. Mr. Bailey contended that the United States should not send a special ambassador to the coronation of England's King, or to the coronation of any other ruler, when the country thus honored did not extend a like courtesy to the United States on the inauguration of a president. After considerable discussion the amendment was withdrawn and the hill passed Subsequently Mr. Bailey offered a resolution, which will be considered later, covering the point made in his amendment. It provides "that It is contrary to the policy of the United States to accredit to any foreign government any ambassador, minister or other diplomatic officer or agent to especially represent the United States at the coronation of any hereditary prince or potentate." It also provides tltat th<^ president has nc power to appoint such an envoy, except with the Senate's sanction.

Tile successive explosions had heated the air so such an extent that before the third explosion many were rendered unconscious by the extreme heat and the

gaseous fumes.

The clothing of many was soon afire. The victims ran frantically about tear ing their burning garments from their bodies and screaming for help. All the ambulances in this city and Allegheny, together with many physicians, quickly started for the scene, and at the earliest possible moment .the victims were receiving attention. The hospitals are crowded with writhing patients and the morgue is full. Pittsburg (Special).—A careful search for the dead and injured in the disaster at Sheraden. a Pittsburg suburb, reveals a list of 23 dead and 302 injured. The complete list of the injured may never be known, as many were able to get away without making known their identity. A conservative estimate, made by those thoroughly familiar with the situation, places the number more or less seriously hurt at not fewer than 300.
