Dnty of Every Republican and'Trne - American o Vote Against the Policy of "Seattle." WASHINGTON, May 12. It isstated on the highest authority that 'President Roosevelt Is taking a very keen Interest In the Oregon campaign, and Is watching the several moves with considerable con cern. He believes that it"is the duty of not only every Republican, but every good, true American in the state, every advocate of sound government, not only to support the two Republican nominees for Congress, but the state ticket and the Legislative ticket as well, because of the Issues involved. He believes that all fac tional differences should be set aside, and not carried to the polls. The President, because of his Interest in the Oregon campaign, has been reading editorials In The Oregonlan, and Is very much grati fied that his position upon the main Is sues before the American people are In dorsed by that paper, and by the Repub lican parly of the state. President Roosevelt, like all of his pred ecessors, does not allow himself to be In terviewed, nor does he care to be quoted on public matters, reserving the right to declare himself through official channels and Congress. At the same time, the keen Interest which he shows in affairs in every part of the country is unquestioned, especially In the Oregon campaign, which so many Republicans regard a of such great importance.

But he has had ample oppor tunity to become thoroughly informed as to the Oregon situation, and thoroughly understands why the Republican ticket has been menaeed, as do all other Repub licans who have taken an interest In the campaign. Representative Payne, chairman of the committee on ways and means, speaking of the campaign in Oregon, said today: "No state has a greater interest In keep ing the Government in the hnnds of the Republicans than has the State of Oregon. Whenever the country has felt the Im petus given to trade and manufacture by Republican measures, and especially by the tariff and money legislation, resulting In unexampled prosperity, no section has been and is still more Interested than the Pacific Slope. Our trade with the Orient must all ccrne home or "bass through this section of the country. The open-door pollpy of the Administration, so success fully carried out. must be maintained. Tho pacification of the Philippine Islands and the resulting trade through Republican policy will be of vast benefit to thlsxsec tlon of our country. No petty Jealousies either In politics or trade! -" "No feeling that one's neighbor is get ting the greater share of the prosperity, which has been so universal, should Ead any Republican voter to fall to register his tote in faver of a continuance or the present most prosperous period in all oUr history. 1 believe the voters of Oregon are fully alive to the situation and that the first gun in the campaign of 1902 will gtva no uncertain sound." , BITTER, PIBL FOR AXTIS. Fornkcr Reacts Editorials From Their IS'evraiiapcrs In 1SOS. WASHINGTON, May 12. Senator For akcr made a valuable contribution to the Philippine discussion today when he went back to the files of the newspapers In De cember. 1S93 and February. 1SS9, before and after the Paris treaty was ratified, and before and after the outbreak of the Agulnaldo insurrection in the Philippine Islands. The Ohio Senator quoted from the New York Journal, Cincinnati En quirer, Atlanta Constitution. New Orleans Picayune and Denver News. All of these papers were then as strong for expansion as any Republican papers in the United States today. Editorially all of these pa pers otroiigly Indorsed expansion and bit terly abused Senators who opposed the ratification of tho treaty with as much vigor as Democratic Senators today de nounce Republican policies. These edi torials also asserted that It was the duty of the United States, to maintain Its sov ereignty In the Philippines and to crush the rebellion which Agulnaldo and his fol lowers had Btarted. Of course, It was amusing to many Senatdrs to nave edi torials from Senator Patterson's paper read in fun, when they were oo directly antagonistic to the position which Pat terson has taken since he became a mem ber of theSenate. Patterson sat still and listened to them, and was subjected to the raillery of many of his Democratic col leagues. HOT FIGHT OX CROZIER. His Enemies Will Try o Have His Case Trie la Open Senate.

An effort Is going to be made by the enemies of General Crozler to injure him before the public and t6 have his case tried in the open Senate on this bill rath er than In the Senate in executive session. Another fight that Is going to be made is for the House provision to pay the heirs of Dr. Tuttle $50,000 for his "thorite" In vention.

(Continued from First Page. came a wave of fire bigger than the smoke cloud. "That cloud," continued Prudent, "was bigger, Jt seemed, than the mountain. The Are burned the city everywhere at once. Near me I saw only dead men, but on shore I saw men and women rushing back and forth amid the flames for an hour. They would not run long. Then came that choking smoke, and they would drop like dead files. "The explosion, smoke and fire all came and went in three minutes, but the city burned for three hours. Then every house was finished, and nothing aliva was left Some men from the sinking ships got to tho shore, but they were Tiurned tip there.' "At no time was there any earthquake, but big stones were rained down and fell liko rain for a long time." Id a hospital were 15 injured persons from Carbet village, four miles from St. Pierre. The village of Irrine, south of St. Pierre, was almost entirely burned, and almost all the Inhabitants were killed. One of the survivors of Irrine,. who will die, says the sea, boiling hot, invaded the land. Six women, whose bodies are one solid burn, are writing in another ward of the hospital. -Ten women, severely burned, from Irrine, were" brought in and four of them have died. It is doubtful If any of the six still alive can recover. An evidence of the swiftness of the on slaught of fire is found in the fact that none of the victims was blinded, although the eyelids of most of them are nearly burned through. All those saved, except the engineers 6f the RoraUn&t are poor sailors and Martinique negroes. Other Ships Lost. No one knows how the passengers of the steamer perished, and it is Impossible to get a-full list of the vessels lost. The cable repair ship Grappler was lost with all on board, as was the French vessel Tamaya. There were IS or 20 vessels in the roadstead at the time of the disaster. The British steamer Roddam had an chored, but Captain Freedman, although horribly burned, managed to keep on the bridge of his vessel. Everybody on the Roddama deck was instantly killed, but with the assistance of his third engineer and a .fireman tyho were wounded, the captain brought his vessel to St Lucia. Many persons tried to reach the Roddam, but in vain. The United SUtes Vice-Consul at St. Pierre, Amadee Testart, reached the deck of the Roddam, only to fall hack into the sea, dead. Three hours exploration of the ruins of St Pierre resulted In the finding of n trace Of the American Consulate. Consul Thomas T. Prentls. his wife and two daughters are undoubtedly dead. That quarter of the city Is still a vast mass of blazing ruins. Nor has any trace been found of James Japp, the British Consul. Mr. Japp had a large family at St. Pierre. List Saturday, after 10 hours' work, a Captain and a detail of soldiers found 2, 500,000 francs In the Bank of Martinique. The vaults of the English bank at St Pleire were found to be Intact and were not opened. The coast villages near St. Pierre wer destroyed afm.uitoncouBly with that town. The entire island, up to within a few miles of Fort de France, Is covered with mud and ashes. The cattle of tho Island are either all dead or dying. "The streams have dried up -or are polluted. Thousands of persons are flocking to Fort de France. Unless relief is promptly sent, famine IS Imminent There is urgent need for the services of the Red Cross Society. The French cable line via Europe 13 now the only means1 of telegraphic Com munication with the outside world. The demands made upon this line aro extreme ly heavy. v AvrfaJ IVevrs From St. Vincent. The British Royal Mail steamer Solent brought awful news from the British Island of St Vincent May S and 9 a vol cano there, the Souffrlere, broke Jnto vio lent eruption. MUd, ashes, stones and fire were burled into the town of Kings ton, the capital of the It-land, and over the country. From the meager Teports ob tainable here, it la known that 6X0 deaths occurred at St Vincent up to Friday night, and that the volcano there was atlli active at that time. "The volcanic de tonations were distinctly heard In Bar badoes, 100 miles away, and the fall of ashes there was so heavy that it resulted In Intense darkness for several hours dur ing the afternoon. Hamilton de Courey, a passenger from the Royal Mall steamer Esk, reports that between 11 and 1 o'clock of the night of May 8, a huge black mass of vapor hung over the volcano on St Vincent, and that the mountain was raining ashes, while there was. acontlnual series of electrical flashes about the mountain top. A boat from the Esk went In toward the shore, hut had td return. The terrible explosion which occurred on the Quebec Line steamer Roratma prob ably resulted from kerosene. The central and, southern party of St Pierre are still burning. The country side Is deserted. Every family on the Island Is mourning the loss of relatives or friends. Business is at a complete stand still. St Pierre was the financial and provisioning center of the Island. Mount Pelce Is still in eruption and even more violent and more disastrous erup tions may follow. Volcanic ashes have fallen against the wind on the Islands Of Dominica and St Vincent The authorities are doing everything possible to relieve the suffering. The means at hand are- terribly inadequate. Unless prompt measures are taken for the disposal of. .the thousands of dead bodies atvSt Pierre, a frightful plague- la almost certain, to develop there. Governor Mouttet. who was at Fort de France when the first indications of erup tion were seen at St Pierrer declared that the danger would not Increase and sent a detachment of soldiers to prevent a gen eral exodifs of the Inhabitants. Later he went to St. Pierre himself with his wife. The fort and Central quarters of the town were rased to the ground, and were replaced by beds of hot cinders. The iron grill-work gate of the Government offices was alone standing. There was no trace of the streets. Huge heaps of smoking ashes were to be seen on all sides. WjUler aaa Day Coming Home.

WE WILL STAY THERE HU. FORAKER'S COXTRlBtflttgF TO THE SENATE PHILIPPINE DJ3BATE. V United States, He Says, Cannot Leave the Islands Until a Stable Gov ernment Is Established. WASHINGTON, May 12. An Important ' contribution to the discussion of the Phil ippine Government bill was made in tne Senate today by Foraker. He maintained that the United States could not leave the Islands Until order had been restored and until a stable government had been established. He declared that this Gov ernment would not come away from the islands under the present or the next ad ministration, even though the latter be Democratic, because the American people never would consent to poltroonery. Foraker read some editorials from the DenVer News, of which Senator Patterson iff the- proprietor. The editorials main tained that the United States must retain control of the Philippines and put down the insurrection among the Filipinos. With keen sarcasm the Ohio Senator de clared that the editorials did not read as Patterson's speeches read now. , Foraker held that the policy adopted in the Ph.upplnes was one of the kindest and gentlest posslole, and In accordance with .the instructions of President Mc Kinlcy. He declared that the minority had attacked the Army from tho Com manding General to the humblest private all because the Army had resented out rages "without parallel in cruelty, com mitted by the Filipinos. The American Army had shown, he said, a humanity unsurpassed in Its history. Tho Ameri can people always had stood by their Army and they always would. The Proceedings. At the conclusion of routine business & resolution offered by Bailey Saturday, rel ative to special embassies to coronations, was called up, but 'after some discussion went over. A conference was agreed to on the bill providing for -the diplomatic and Consular appropriations for Cuba. A bill to fix the compensation of criers and bailiffs In United States Courts at ?3 a day. instead of $2 a day, was passed. Consideration of the Philippine Govern ment bill then was begun, Foraker ad dressing the Senate In support of the measure, .me Ohio Senator said the op ponents of the measure had given the de bate a wide range, but It was evident that the real Issue was not the pending 'meas ure, but the policy of which it was the exponent. "Until," said Foraker, "we shall have established law and order In the islands, until we have established a stable govern ment there, and led those people into the ways of light and happiness, it is import ant that we stay there, perhaps even longer than has been expected. We will not come away from those Islands under thla Administration. We cannot come Rway because we will not write pol troonery across our forehead and because the American people tlll not permit us to rome away." Foraker pointed out that the United States was bound by the treaty of Paris to 'protect all property rights, including the friars, in the holding of about 500,000 acres- of lard in the Philippines. Until a government was formed which would do all this, tne United States must remain in the Philippines. Foraker discussed at length the substi tute offered by the minority of the Philip pine Committee, showing that ltwas not such a one as wGuld meet the necessities of the situation. Continuing, he said: "As the President said a few days ago in this Cltyx 'Our flag will stay put " Hoar interrupted to inquire, if when all our treaty Obligations had been fulfilled and a gbvernment had been established In the Philippines, we would recognize the right of the Filipinos to Independence. "I believe," he said, "that the affirmation of that duty would havo prevented tls war. I ask the Senator, Shall we disclaim any right or desire to hold the Filipinos In subjugation?" Foralter said the questions were not embarrassing. In his judgment, it would be most Impolitic for Congress now to declare absolutely what the government would do at some future time. Foraker read editorials from Democratic papers supporting the policy of President McKinley In lS08-9a, and declaring, when the w:r with the Filipinos began, it as necessary to suppress the Insurrection. Referring td the editorials in the Denver News, of which Senator Patterson is pro prietor,, Foraker said, with keen sar casm: "These editorials do not read ex nctly as the Senator's speeches do now, but the time will come when the Senator will take greater pride and pleasure In rereading the editorials than in reading his spe'ecllcs." (Laughter.) Foraker said he was reading at great length editorials from the Denver News because they wore the ablest he had found either in Democratic or Rpublican papers, (laughter), and he desired to embalm them for all time In the Congressional Record, vitenewed laughter.)1 "These editorials," said Foraker. "will reflect credit and honor upon the writer, and I am trying to put them in the Congressional Record, where forever they may be read by the American people." The opening sentence of one of the edi torials was: "There is only one thing to do, and that is to knock peace Into Agul naldo." Bpooner inquired Ironically If Providence figured in the editorial. "Oh, yes," replied Foraker. "Providence figures quite conspicuously; and so does "destiny end 'fate' and 'commerce.' It has all the elements of National great ness." Foraker then yielded, that a message from the President concerning the calam ity in the Island of Martinique might be laid before the Senate. The message was referred to the committee on foreign rela tions. Continuing, Foraker maintained that policy adopted by President McKinley was one of the kindest and gentlest possible a policy which looked to the establishment of civil government wherever possible. The proceedings of the Philippine Com mission were in strict accord with the policy laid down by President McKinley. Referring to the charges made against tho Army, Foraker said: "Not only has the policy of the Govern roen been assailed, but the Army has been denounced. A man has been attacked who has 'Just graduated from the school of savagery' China- That as I understood It. was on assault on Chaffee." He said these assaults also were made upon Gen eral Bell and General Smith, and upon the entire Army. "The assault extends," I said be, "irom tne commanding uenerai to the humblest private soldier." He reviewed, in vivid language the out rages committed by the Filipinos upon the American troops outrages which In cluded burning at the stake, cutting to pieces with bolos, gouging out of the eyes and disemboweling of American prisoners. Referring to the order of General Smith, he said: "I don't believe that he made such an order os he Is reported to have issued, or, if he did, there is a light to be shed upon it which we have not had." Our Army, he said, had shown a hu manity under provocation never surpassed by any other army In the history of the world. Prisoners had been kept only long enough to receive a good meal and a good lecture. .Ho said that, notwithstanding this humanity, our men had been put to the necessity of resorting to the law of retaliation. "The Army needs no defense," he con cluded. "Its record from the beginning Until now is a glorious one. It will come home In triumph to receive the glad wel come and plaudits of the American people. They always have' stood by their Army and they always will when It is made of such splendid men, such gallant officers, such heroes, one and as as represent, us In the Philippine Islands." The bill providing for a union station in Washington was then taken up and an amendment adopted, granting the Joint use of the depot to other roads than thost. originally provided for In- the bill. It was agreed to vote on the bill next Thursday. The bill for the relief of the Martinique sufferersr as amended by the House, in creasing the amount from SICO.OOO to $200. 000. was laid before the Senate. Cullom, chairman of the commute on foreign re lations, said that 'whatever might be the action of the committee on the President's request for $500,000, the J200.000 should be appropriated without delay. The amend ment was agreed to, and the bill went to the President for his signature. On motion of Proctor, the vote by which the Army appropriation bill was passed was reconsidered, and the bill slightly amended and repassed. At 5:20 the Senate adjourned. NAPHTHA ON FIRE.

The escaping naph tha had blown to atoms the Sumpter Ho tel and the Collins House, on River road, and badly wrecked a frame building near by, In which were congregated iCO or more men from Pittsburg and vicinity, betting on the races and ball games. Few of the occupants of this building escaped injury, many being badly hurt Mrs. Seymour and her daughter, of the Sheri dan Hotel, were seriously, and, :t to feared, fatally injured- The third explosion served as a warn ing to but few of the spectators at Sher idan. Without a moment's warning there was an awful roar, loud enough to be heard In the heart of Pittsburg, five miles away, and a sheet of flames shot up from the wreckage and enveloped both hillsides, even to their tops. There was a moment's lull, as though every living thing in the vicinity had been annihilated, and then came the cries, the ecreamlng for help, and the blanks in the crowd told of the explosion's dread result Both of the two remaining tank cars had blown up. A torreht of flames belched forth on each side of the track, sweeping back the terrified spectators like a charge of artillery, and sending a shower of flame over their heads re sembling MoUnt Pclee on a small scale. The scene that followed! Is beyond de scription. The Buccessive explosion had heated the air to such an extent that be fore the third explosion many were ren dered unconscious by tho extreme heat and tho gaseous fumes and were being carried away when the torrent of Uamc swept over the excited crowd. There was an awful hush for a moment Then followed a scene of frenzy. Men and women, their clothing ablize, their faces scorched and blistered and their hair burned off their heads, ran wildly shrieking, hither and thither, only in tent on escaping from that awful fur nace of fire. Some gave vent to frenzied appeals to kill them and put them out of their misery and little children, with their curly locks and light summer clothlng.small pillars of fire, cried plte ously as" they were swept along by the tide of burning humanity. The townspeople did all In their power for the striken victims and all the Pittsburg ambulances were Immediately dispatched to the scene with a corps of physicians. Many of those not seriously burned were removed to their homes In Sheridan, while others were sent to the various Pittsburg hospitals and the dead removed to undertaking establishments In Sheridan and vicinity and to the Pitts burg morgue. The Pan Handle Railroad Company has SS, tracks through Sheridan and has succeeded in keeping communication open. The property loss will amount to at least ?C0,C00. Carnage at Venezuelan Seaport.
