i WICHITA. Ks., May II -The fea
, ture of the Republican state convention
lre today was the strong Roosevelt
sentiment.
In response to the general demand,
'Congressman Long, one of the leaders
jof the fight In the house for Cuban
reciprocity, made a speech !n which
he said:
"The Cuban reciprocity bill has
passed the house and it win pass the
senate or there will be an extra, hi
aion of Congress. If thers is an ex
tra session, my friends, the Seventh
district must prepare to fake care of
my campaign, for w will stay there
until It has passed and President
Rocstvelt, ur leader now nd our
leader in 1904" he got no further. The
convention cheered and cheered again.
Long stood still while the delegates
shouted. .
"Tour hearts are right,", he said
finally, "How about your voices?" A
delegate said, " I told President Roose
velt when I left Washington that Kan
sas was with him all the time, and I
think he will know It as we do now.
Roosevelt is all right and re is al
ways right. He is right because tiod
made him no."
Senator Burton, who has until re
cently opposed the president's recipro
city policy, told the convention that re
ciprocity wkh Cuba waa right and
necesary. but no home industry should
be injured. A bill is now being formu
lated as a substitute for the hotMe bill,
which substitute will be satisfactory to
all Interests, he said.

FORT DE FRANCE. Martinique,
May . A tremendous explosion of
very black smoke from Mount Pelee
at a quarter before t o'clock this mora,
ing, accentuated the fear entertained,
for the safety of George Keneen, tha
American author, who, with a land
party, ha been examining the north
ern part of tin island. Governor of '
Martinique was at once consulted with,
the object of arranging for the res
cue party to proceed by land -la
connection with the' voyage along the
coast of the United States cruiser Cin
cinnati, should such steps appear n8
essary. '
At about 11 o'clock this morning Fr
erinado, a cleric ot a wealthy land
proprietor of Martinique, arrived here
and announced that Kesnan and hie
party were safe on a plantation at the
north end of the Island. - "
Prof. Robert T. Hill. U. S. Geologist
and the head ot the expedition sent to
Martinique by the national geological
society, who left Fort de France Moa
day on horseback for the volcano, re
turned here this morning, lie was)
completely worn out by bis trip. ' '"
Speaking of his expedition to Mount
Pelee. Prof. Hill said:
"My attempt to examine the crater,
ot Mount Pelee has been futile, I suo
ceeded. however. In getting very close
to Moome Rouge. At 7 o'clock Mon
day night T witnessed from a point
near the ruins of St. Pierre, a fright
ful explosion, from Mount Pelee and
noted accompanlng phenomena. While
these eruptions continue no can man
should attempt to ascend, to tha era
ter of the volcano. Following the de
tonations from the mountain, glrantic
mushroom shape columns, of smoke
and cinders ascended Into the clear,
starlight sky and then sore ad. In vast
black sheet, to the south and direct

Ing frequency.
lightning like bolts flashed with alarm
They followed distinct path of Ig
nition which was not different from
lightning, except in that ho ts were
horizontal and not perpendicular. This
Is indispuable evidence of the exDlo
sive oxidation of gases afterthey left
the crater. This Is a most Jmrort
ant observation and explains in part
the awful catastrophy. This phenom
ena Is entirely new in volcano Wstory.
" I took many photographs, but do
not hesitate to acknowledge that I was
terrified."
Nearly all of the phenomena of this
volcanic outbreak is new to science
and may not yet have been explained.
The volcano Is still Intensely active
and I cannot make any predictions as
to what It will do." (
