News OF Great Volcanic Disturbance

From the San Francisco Chronicle.

from the San Francisco Chronicle
The latest advices from Ounalaska. which
| arrived by the steamer Dora inst down from
| that island, contain an interesting descr,ntIon
OF wonderful volcanic disturbances. which are
said to have occurred near there lately. Cantain
Hogue. of the Dora was called on by a Chronicle
reporter yesterday afternoon. He was found at
an assay Office he being an expermentalist in
this branch of science. Laying aside his blow
pipe and metal, the captain said. in answer to
the first inquiry: Yes: was at BogoslOv twice
during the past season and did see something
most extraordinary. Sit down and III tell You
all about It."

the Captain went on:

that it had been throwing out lava for several
weeks, and that ii had still continued to do so
up to the date of my departure from Ounalaska.
But what was most remarkable and most sin

sprung up not far distant from BogoslOv since
my previous voyage TO that spot. At first ]

WAR on THE DRAM SHOPS.

A Practical Temperance Crusade BE.
gun I'm New York.
New York dispatch in the Philadelphia Press
great movement is going on in New York
which must soon prove of interest to temper
ance men in all sections of the country For
many years this city has been the paradise OF
the dram-seller. Thousands of saloons are re-
quired to supply drink to the population, and
the laws regulating license or the opening and
closing Of saloons have never been rigidly en-
forced. Lately some unseen hand has been
felt and revolution has begun which has
startled the liquor men.
Last Sunday, without any special Fremont
ton, it was noticed that the police force kept
vigilant eye on the saloons, and a large number
OF prOprietOrs, who. as usual, kept their places
Open were arrested and arraigned before the
police courts Old offenders like Shang Draper
have had their licenses taken away, or have
not been able to get the legal permit renewed
as in times gone by.
Arrest in the case Of saloon keeper means
more than it ever did before. few weeks ago
one Of the police justices insisted on sending
every saloon keeper convicted Of breaking the
law to Jail, as well as imposing fine. Twenty
liquor dealers, whose cases We're pending, with
drew the customary plea OF guilty, which had
heretofore meant only fine, and demanded
trial within week. A police justice has pro-
mulgated 1t as law that the conviction Of
liquor dealer Of violating the excise law abso-
lutely forfeits and annuls his license.
