THE JEFFERSON STATUE-In the Senate to-
day Mr.. Morrill,, from the Com mittee on Public
Buildings and Grounds, made a report relative
to the statue of Thomas jefferson, which nov
occupies place east of the Executive mansion
and which was presented to Congress by Lieut.
Levy, of the United States navy, in 1894. The
report gives the history of the statue and the
record OF Congress in the matter, from which
IL appears that that body, owing to ne elect or
oversight, has never yet accepted it. The COM
mittee, in closing, submit q joint resolution
asking that Congress formally accept the statue,
and Grounds be directed to have it cleaned and
repaired and placed in statuary hall, at the

THE woMRS's CRUSADE AGAINST WHISKY
EXTENDING-The Women's Temper auce MON
continues its efforts against the whisky traffic In
Jacksonville, Ind. Fifty women were out
yesterday morning. visiting eight saloons, but
only gained admission at two. The others
closed their doors, and notwithstanding the
cold, chilling air, the ladies held devotional
exercises in the street in front of each saloon.
The cause is gaining ground in public favor,
but there has been no concession made by the
saloon-keepers. In New York city nothing as
yet has been attempted in the shape OF women
crusaders visiting tsverns. The temperance
people there are unsdvsed Of any plan settled
upon. The tavern-kecPers are quiescent. In
Ripley, Ohio the crusaders yesterday, being
denied admission to a saloon in the suburbs
built a fire and camped out in front of it. The
siege lasted about four hours, when the occu-
pant capitulated, and last night for the first
another place the siege was not as long. The
proprietor gave them his liquor to pour out and
let them take his sign down. A few other places
in the suburbs still remain. A large and i'm
pressive mass meeting was held last night.
Judge AshbuTn fined r Batavia dealer Al 200
for violation of the law. Tie reform movement
has commenced in Dayton, Ohio. Memphis,
Tenn, and Manhattan, Kansas. Returns from
twenty five different townsin Ohio show that
over one thousand saloons have been closed
since the woman's Temperance movement
began, and that the number is fast increasing.
THE Fatal EXPLOIT OF Nav YoRK DE.
TECTIyE.-Michael Mcnamara. who was shot
by Detective Patrick j. Leahy on SUNDAY
morning, while the latter, with several other
detectives, was attempting to enter his house in
search for the murderer of Nicholas A. Sweich,
died at Bellevue hospital Monday evening.
Leahy, who has been placed under bonds to
appear, states that he thought 1t was the man
trying to escape when be shot. Superintendent
Matsell, when spoken to for infor m alton about
the shooting of Mcnamara, said: 81 know little
about it. The officers had a right to smash the
doors if they thought their man was in any of
the rooms. Leahy was evidently so nervous
and excited that he fired his pistol in the
absence of something better to do. A club
instead of a pistol should have been in his
hands. Besides, the officers forgot to wear their
shields, and that is very wrong" Some excite
ment was created among the tenement occu-
pants OF the l2th ward at the manner in which
the entry was effected TO McNamaTas rooms

A VOLCANO STORY,

An Associated Press dispatch, some
weeks since, said that volcanic erup-
tons had been observed in the Pinto
mountains, Nevada. A correspondent
or the Sacramento Union, writing from
that region under date Of Dec. 20,
says:
AS this telegram has doubtless going
the rounds of the press, creating an
impression that a real volcano does ex-
ist IN our midst, and being a resident
this winter of Pinto district, / must
state that no such natural phenomenon
as that alluded TO above has occurred
IN our peaceful community. The report
of the breaking out of a volcano was
not, L believe, fabrication, but result
ed from the following facts: A man
by the name of Davis, passing through
Sllverado canon, stopped and kindled
tlre near a assure at the base of a
clltf forming one wall of the canon.
This assure connecting with the fur
mace above, and being partly filledwith
lnhamab e debris, ravens nests,
ETC. the fire communicated with the
assure by the draft created from the
burning fuel below, and the smoke as
cending from above produced the i'm
preston among some miners on the OPP
posite side, Of the appearance of a real
volcano. This occurred few DAYS af-
ter several slight shocks OF an earth
quake; hence the report. SilveradO
Canon presents many interesting fea-
lures to the geologist It's walls on one
side tower nearly perpendicular sever
al hundred feet in height, and its stra-
II lsihcate of lime are bent and dis
torted in every angle from the horizon
tai to the perpendicular. Its distorted
and semi-metamorphoric strata, con-
tanning numerous seams, cracks and
assures colored red and yellow by sub
lime sIlicates and. carbonates. attest to
the violence of past volcanic distur-
Dances. The specimens of lava return
ed from the reported volcano belong to
another geologic age. Since that time
the wash and the wear of the debris of
centuries have filled portions of this
cannon many feet in depth, and in 9TH
or places expose indications of mineral
deposits outcropping on terra frma,
leaving for man only the work of ex-
ploring.

that the marriage Of His Royal High
ness the Duke Of Edinburg with the

The marriage, according to the rite OF

Church marriages take place IN the

during the day, between certain pre-
scribed hours. Hitherto the marriage
ceremony Of 4 Russian Grand Ouch
ess with Protestant Prince, accord
ing to the Greek rite, has always been
followed by that according to
the Protestant rite IN one of the sa-
Icons Of the Winter Palace; but Il mar
riaye according to the rite Of the
English Church must be performed in
a church, chapel, or other building
specially licensed. Our informant
states that nothing has transplred as
yet about the manner IN which these
difficulties are to be solved. Arrange
