Speaker Hen derson, In an Interview today on the reports about the National Millers' grievance against him, on the ground that he prevented the passage of the London dock bill, said: "I had not heard anything of It since Saturday last, when I flrat saw an arti cle on the subject. I was greatly sur prised to see anything of the kind from the millers, whose friend I have been all the time, and I tried to get their bill through. I gave them the floor and let the bill come up the second time, but members In charge of the measure wanted it passed over, as they hoped for a compromise between the friends and enemies of the bill. This was twice that the bill's friends had an opportunity. Later, I proposed to havo the bill called up by calling upon the committees, but Mr. Tawney, author of the bill, was ab sent that day and other friends of the measure were unwilling to have It come up In his absence, so that is three timco that the bill practically had lis day in court and, for the reason named, failed to be disposed of: but in no instance wag it any fault of mine. The bill is a just one and ought to pass, and I have no doubt it will pass at the short eesslon of Congress. I fear there has been some very thoughtless misrepresentation about this matter, for It is not usual for men to attack their loyal friends." CRAZY SNAKE AGAIN.

Lack of Co-operation With the Civil Authorities Americans At tacked by Moros. WASHINTON, July 28. The action of General Chaffee, in reprimanding Captain Frederick S. Wild, Thirteenth Infantry, upon the sentence of a court-martial, has been received "tit tho War Department, Captain Wild was in command at Llng ayan, where a cockpit was burned, two soldiers of the commission having been previously stabbed in the cockpit. It was generally understood that the cockpit was burned by the soldiers In revenge. It was brought out In the testimony that Captain Wild had been requested by the civil au thorities to place a guard over the prop erty after the first attack, and failed to do so, and a second attempt at burning resulted In its destruction. General Chaf fee, in carrying out the sentence of the court, said: "The necessity for this trial Is based on the intention to accentuate to the ac cused that the existing ordor to give complete and unqualified support to all branches of the civil government In these islands must be complied with and to show by example that nothing short of such support will be accepted from offi cers on duty In this division. Captain Wild's conduct Is but mildly punished by roprimand. It Is destructive to the very foundations of discipline, and when con sidered In connection with the duty which devolved upon him is in the highest de gree reprehensible." ATTACKED DT MOROS.

A cablegram received at the State Department from Minister Buck, at Toklo, says that the Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs in formed him that a Japanese naval vessel would leave yesterday for Marcus Island. The purpose of hec going is not to make trouble, but to prevent it. An official of the Foreign Office was to have gone on the vessel: and he was to carry a letter to Captain Rosehlll, cabled from the State Department here to Minister Buck, advis ing the Captalr to make no disturbance or resort to violence to obtain possession of the island, with possible loss of life and involving international complications. If the Captain would observe this advice, the department said, for its part, it would endeavor to settle the claim to Marcus Island diplomatically. Captain Rosehlll is reported to have sailed from Honolulu for Marcus Island in a schooner July 11. and it is therefore probable that he already Is at Marcus Island, or very near there.

Depth of the Sea North of St Vin cent Increased to a Mile and a Quarter Examination of Pelee. KINGSTOWN, St, Vincent. July 2S The SouiTriere volcano has been slightly in eruption twice since laGt Monday. A severe earthquake shock, accompanied by a tidal wave, affected the northeast ern point of the island, washing a fire swept estate. No further damage was done.

The Panama Cable repairshlp Nowlng ton, which Is engaged in work IS miles north of St. Vincent, reports that the depth of the sea there has been Increased to a mile and a quarter. Attempts to pick up the cable have been futile, owing to unfavorable weather. EXAMINATION OF PELEE. Extraordinary Similarity With the Eruptions of SoufXrlcrc. FORT DE FRANCE, Island of Martin ique, Monday, July ".Dr. T. A. Jaggar, of Harvard University, representing the United States Geological Survey In the West Indies, arrived for the second time at Fort de France on June 21 and has since visited Mount Pelee twice. He has also made excursions to the Southern end of Martinique and to the warm springs of the interior' of the island. Dr. Jaggar came directly from St. Vin cent, As a result of recent examinations of the crater of Mount Pelee and explora tions of the track of the devistatlng blast which destroyed St. Pierre. It appears that there is extraordinary similarity be tween the eruptions of the Souffrlere vol cano of St, Vincent and Mount Pelee. Tho products are the same, both are charac terized by the absence of lava, and the work of destruction, both to Inanimate objects and to mankind, was accom plished In much the same way. The de structive effects of the eruption In St. Vincent coverod a much more extensive area, but the loss of human life was much less. There have been no active eruptions of Mount Pelee of Importance since June C. A great cone of boulders and volcano bombs, which appeared within the fissure from which the explosion came, has grown in size since the middle of May, when Dr. -Jaggar first saw it. .Occasion ally there are sudden slides of debris down this cone In the deep gorge and the Riviere Blanche. These slides produce great columns of brown dust which re sembled smoke, that rise In billows from the mountain's flank and give the Im pression of an eruption when viewed from the sea. At night these slldlngs of red hot rock make a glowing streak in the mountain slope. This accounts for tho many reports by passing vessels of eruptions; that hot lava and dust falls. The phenomenon Is a mere superficial one. As at St. Vin cent, the many mud spouts, steam Jets and local craters that have been report ed are all superficial, caused by rain water draining into the beds of hot, dry gravel. The two volcancea of St. Vin cent and Martinique were In eruption In sympathy In May. Both have gradually become less active since, and It is prob able they will continue to diminish In activity, to judge by tho present signs. In this opinion tho French scientific commission, headed by Professor La Croix, of Paris, concurs. Dr. Jaggar is strongly opposed, however, to any re habilitation of the devastated slopes of the volcanoes until the respective gov ernments of the islands are willing to establish permanent experiment stations to protect and warn the Inhabitants. 'In addition to his work on the Island of St. Vincent and Martinique, Dr. Jag gar has spent some time In Barbados, collecting Information and specimens rela tive to the spread of the dust fall which appaars to have been much greater from the Souffrlero vthan from Mount Pelee. Before returning to the United States, Professor Jaggar plans to visit the north ern volcanoes of the Windward group with a view to studying the conditions of vogetatlon on such mountains as Pelee S3 they were prior to the eruption.

Nervousness Is very common among women. This condition is due to anemic nerve centers. The nerve centers are tho reservoirs of nervous vitality. These cen ters become bloodless for want of proper i nutrition. This 1? especially true in the warm season. Every Summer a host of invalids are produced as the direct re sult of weak nerves. Thly could be easily obviated by the uae of Peruna. Peruna strikes at- the root tlon. Digestion furnishes nutrition for tho nerve centers. Properly digested food furnishes theee reservoirs of life with vi tality, which leads to strong, steady nerves, and thus nourishes life. Peruna Is In great favor among women, especially those who have vocations that are trying to the nervous system. Pe runa furnishes the lasting Invlgoratlon for the nerves that t?uch people so much need. Thousands of testimonials from women in all parts of the United States are being received every year.
