Wednesday, Jnne 4 Vessels leaving the Island of Mai tlnlqiie have experienced upheavals and agitations of the sea pointing to sub marine eruptions between Martinique and St. Lucia. In the island of St Vincent the shining fleece clouds which have been continually rising and read ing in the direction of the Soufiiere volcano since May 16, and which have been mistaken for tropical clouds, hava proved to be steam emitted from the crater, from which flashes of flame are issuing nightly. This, combined with' renewel vibra tions in the fire zone, has inciensed a; prehensions that there may be another eruption of the Souf riere shortly.

EVERYTHING TO LOSE ( A Cotton Yarn Man on the Proposed Mill Merger j Charlotte, N. C, June 6. Special. Mr. E. B. Dickso" of New York, who conducts here one of the largest com mission yarn businesses in this section, nfter due deliberation furnished for pub lication today a statement of his views in which he makes a strong attack upon the cotton mill merger scheme of F. I.. Underwood of New York, Mr. Dick son says in part: "The effort of the combination (noth ing more than a trust) of the southern mills meets with little success in well grounded mills, and while it is claimed by the promoters that it will go through, from what I can learn this is not borne out by managers of mills that have all their Interest in their several towns. They will not hazard that j prospect of advancement of their towns and run the risk of losing about 40 ! per cent of their hard earned savings in the milk which they have promoted; and also they consider that a trust' will depre ciate their real estate, lowering rents and losing their thrifty population." j. Mr. Dickson then cites the effect of the tobacco trust in this state. He con cludes: "It will be many first of Otftobers before the southern spinners will throw themselves Into the hapds Of the com bination (trust) as they have everything to j lose and nothing promising to gam from the hands of a trust."!
