DETONATIONS THE LOUDEST EVER
HEARD.
A sloop from the Island of St. Vincent
which arrived here this morning reports
that Mont Pelee's crater Is now quiet, but
that the Catenations Saturday night were
the loudest heard up to that time, and that
the inhabitants were terribly alarmed.
Mont Pelee has been In constant eruption
since August 15. There was an enormous
fall of ashes from the volcano the night of
August 25. There was a very severe erup
tion the night of August .5, when the vol
canic rumblings were heard at a. great dis
tance. The mountain burned fiercely that night
and out at sea passing vessels were cov
ered with ashea. The night of August 33 i
there were three separate eruptions.
IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH ST. PIERRE.
It Is Impossible to approach the mined
town of St. Pierre from the sea.
The people of the village of Le Carbet. on
the coast, are terror-stricken and flying to
the Interior.
Hot water Is pouring down en Lorraln
and Basse Points, villages to the northeast
of the crater.
Horrible detonations" were hard. the
ground rocked and quaked and articles on
tables were thrown to the fioor.
The Governor of Martinique has ordered
every available beat to remove the people
from the coast villages to Fcrt de France.
At S o'clock In the evening of Saturday.
August a. the sky was cloudless.
Suddenly one-half of the horizon was ob
scured by a pitch black cloud of dust.
Thfc cloud as the center of most mag
nificent electrical effects, the flashes of light
surpassing the mot elaborate fireworks.
Flames and flashes continued to burst from
the cloud until nearly midnight.
8HOWEF.3 OF GOLDEN FIRE FROM
CRATER.
Columns of flame shot out of the crater
of Mont Pelee to escape about the cloud
In showers of balls of golden Are. which
fell through the darkness in myriads of
sparks.
Three large aureoles were seen In the sky
ever the opening of the crater.
A tidal wave rushed upon Fort de France
and the terrified Inhabitants fled in large
numbers to the Interior. The wave was
not severe and did but slight damage.
At midnight of August 3) Mont Pelee was
quiet. Shortly after this hour there came
another shower of ashes, accompanied by
vtvid sheets of lightning.
In addition to the 200 perons reported to

TWO VIEVS ON FINANCIAL SITUATION BY JAMES R. KEENE.
REPUBLIC SPTCIAL
New Tork, SepL L Ctterances of James R. Keene on the ngwMi situation last
week recall those mads two years ago while In London. A comparison Is made:
July 2S, 1S00.
American railroad stocks are not, in my
opinion, low; In fact, I consider most of
them quite high In price.
Here Is one fact which must never be
lost sight of in Tnavtnc investments that
is the enormous overcapitalization of
American railroads so far beyond the ac
tual cost of their construction that at a
moderate estimate 33 per dent of such
capitalization is absolute water.
The necessity Is always rresent for fresh
capitalization, which comes frequently
enough to warn the observing investor
that his dividends come from this new
tAUKA. fid nfit fnwn TiH!ma.t Hti.'ts.
In two years that have gone by records show that fully three billions of new
securities have been created. Prices have advanced from SO to 300 per cent above
those that prevailed when Mr. Keene thought rallrcad shares were too high.
Angust27. ISCt
The fundamentals of the market are
good. Although prices may work high
now In contrast with past quotations, I
believe prices are relatively lower and
stocks Intrinsically more valuable than
they were sir years ago.
I know of no false dividends, but I do
know of railroads that have been earn
ing 13 per cent and paying C per cent.

One of Them Announces That He
Is Gus Hyatt, an Escaped
Tennessee Convict.
Xashville, Term, SepL 1. Early to-night,
between this city and Franklin, Tenn
eighteen miles south of here, the local safe
on the express car of the Louisville and
Nashville through train, northbound, was
rifled of its contents by two masked men,
while Messenger A. B. Battle, covered by
B. revolver, stood In the corner of the car
with his hands above his head.
The robbery occurred Just after dark, and,
according to his own announcement, one of
the principals was Gus Hyatt, who made a
sensational escape from the Tennessee Peni
tentiary here on August 4 last.
Express officials estimate the loss at about
J300. the contents of packages taken in einco

The men forced the messenger to ring
the train down Just before it t entering

The robber who did the talking was about

ISO pounds. When ordering the emrw
messenger to pun the beU cord the last
time, he said:
