facts: Thursday morning the inhabi-

The Associated Press steamer, char |

1 iqne at 6:30 Sunday morning. The i-
land, with its lot'ty hills, was hidden
behind a huge veil of violet leaden
colored haze. Enormous auantities of
the wreckage of the small ships and
houses strewed the surface ot the sea.
Huge trees and too often bodies, with
flocks of seagulls soaring above and
hideous sharks fighting about them,
were floating here and there. From
behind the volcanic veil came blasts
of hot wind, mingled with others ice
cold. . ,
At Lee Prccheur. hv< mile- north
of St. Pierre, canoes with men and
women frantic to get away, begged for
a pas-age on the steamer.
The whole north end ot the islamt
was covered with a "dhcr urav coat-
ing of ashes resembling dirty snow.
Furious blasts of fire. a-'n. - and mud
swept over the steamer, but finally St.
Pierre was reached.
The city of St. Pierre stretched
two miles along the water front, and
half a mile back to a -Fit at the b i

Washington, I). C., May 12.— Seiia-
* n M niey has proposi ti an amendm ut
to tiie omnibus public buildings bill
appropriating lluu.flyu for a public
nuilding at Oklahoma C ty. It seems
doubtful whether the senate commit-
tee will accept the amendment it be
ing contended that Oklahoma has al-
ready received her share in appro-
priations.
A movement was started Saturday
by J. H Hunt of Oklahoma Cit> to
have the appropriation of lcu.i no for
(riithrie div 'icd betwen Guthrb. and
Oklahoma City, giving each city
000. This would render the appro-
priation for either eity practically
worthless as tiie division would adm t
of the erection of too scant buildings
of small proportions in each to n. I m*
proposition is being vigorously tip-
posed by Delegate Flynn.
