BURIED IN DUST AND ASHES.
A District in New Zealand the Scene of
Terrifying Natural Phenomena.
tremendous Shocks of Earthquake, Followed
by Dense Showers of Dust and Fine Ashes
-0ne Hundredand Twenty Lives Lost.

SAN Francisco, July. 1.-The steamer Ala
brings particulars Of the volcanic eruptions in
New Zealand last month, and which are among
the most destructive in the worlds history.
The first reports of the volcanic disturbances
came from Taurausa, in the Auckland lake
district The natives of that village were sharply
awakened from sleep at o'clock in the morning
by repeated vivid flashes Of lightning, which
continued at rapid intervals up to A. NJ, when
. tremendous earthquake occurred, followed
quickly by others. The shocks were SO violent
that people jumped from their beds and fed for
their lives in their night clothes, making no effort
to save or take anything with them except
their children The earthquakes continued to
follow one another in quick succession up to A.
NJ, when leaden colored cloud was observed
advancing from the sonth, spreading out until it
covered the sky While still moving it burst
with q sound of thunder, and shortly afterward
showers of fine dust began falling Accounts
from other points state that Mount Terewera
was the first volcano to break forth, and
hardly were the flames seen issuing from
its crater than the entire Paroa range of
mountains belched forth in sympathy hurting
fame, burning lava and stones over the sur
rounding country. For the first time in trad-
ton the extinct volcano of Ruapahe was awak-
Dned into activity. The entire country-an
extent of one hundred miles long by twenty in
Dreadth-was nothing but mass of fame and
hot. crumbling soil, which in places rose to a
height of 1000 feet capped at the highest point
Sy the Tekopha geyser, said to have been the
grandest in the world.
During al this time showers of dust contin-
ued to fall, until it became so dense as to make
the day as dark as night, and not until the sec
Ond day did the dust cease falling. 1t was
noticed that the dust emitted strong
Dulphnrous smell Numerous small native
villages were totally destroyed. Wairoa
was covered to the depth of ten feet with
dust and ashes. Rahtomaphaha was completely
sngulfed, as were also some other small villages
One hundred and twenty persons are known to
have lost their lives, among whom were several
English residents. The loss Of cattle starved to
death from the destruction of pastures by dust is
very great, and great distress exists throughout
all the Auckland lake district. One old man,
chief at Ratoraua, was dug out alive after having
been buried in ashes for 104 hours. Every effort
was made to save the lives of others, but in most
eases where bodies we're found they were dead
At the date Of the departure of the steamer Ala
media from Auckland. the volcanoes were still
very active and the temperature of the hot lakes
was increasing.

Washington Special
The desperate and unprecedented measures
used to secure Goodies confirmation were carried
too far, and the finishing stroke was the active
and iniudcious support Mr.. Goode received
from Senator Riddleberger, who truthfully re-
marked in the Senate to day that every nomina-
ton from his State that had been indorsed by
him was rejected and every man he opposed
was confirmed Riddlebergers conduct in tha
the Senate to-day destroyed every chance that
Goode had of confirmation, and drove over TO
the opposition Senator Evarts, who vas inclined
to support him. Two other Republican Sena-
tors who had agreed not to oppose Goode after
they listened to RiddleberGers several speeches,
left the chamber in disgust, and declined to vote
at all.
The Senate had set aside this day to the con-
sideratiop of executive business. and closed the
doors at II o'clock, but the Goode case occupied
all of the time until o'clock Senator Hoar
called up the Goode case at once, aud made O
sneech of half an hours length, in which he re-
cited the objections TO the confirmation OF Mr..
Goode. The efforts Goode has been making to
secure his confirmation were also described and
he was accused of using the patronage of the
Departmental Justice TO that end. During Mr.
Hoars speech he was frequently interrupted IN
an soTenslve manner by Senator RlddleOerger,
who appeared to have fortified himself for tho
occasion. and had to be called TO order repeat
edly. Mr.. Hoar endured the interruptions with
great patience, and as soon as he had concluded
Mr.. Riddlebereer, without waiting for Judge
Pugh, who had made the report of the minority
Of the committee, took the floor. and for two
long hours wearied the Senate with an incoher-
ent, rambling speech. in which he not only at
tempted to defend Gooie, but took occasion
to make great many remarks about
himself and complain of the treatment
he had received from the Senate. Everybody
whose confirmation was advocated by him was
rejected everybody he opposed was confirmed;
every motion he made was voted down without
consideration. and every time he took the floor
he was treated with disrespect by the Senate
and the Chair He represented one of the most
populous and important States IN the Union, and
was entitled to as much consideration az any
other Senator He demanded his rights, and
should insist upon them.

not Mr. Chamberlain.
Mr.. Labouchere, in an interview to day. said:
II am confident that Gladstone will resign. and
that the Conservatives will take Office. Any
coalition between Tories and Unionists cannot
last twenty minutes. Chamberlain and Caine
are the only two worth considering The
Liberal defeat arises from Gladstone's
failure to make the land bill clear, the
Radicals not seeing the force of buying
out the landlords. The cry Of three acres and
cow has not done any good 1t would have
been better to have talked of half an acre and

do not think the Tories will adopt home-rule
policy. It is not to their interest to settle the
Irish question, but rather to keep it open. The
Tories used Chamberlain nicely, but he does not
see it. 1t will be q long time before the Irish
question is settled; it cannot possibly be settled
by the next Parliament The counties knew
nothing of the question. When they have been
educated, Gladstone will win, hands down. This
will be the great work of the Radicals in the
immediate future"

who attended the performance says
Mr., Booths actions were wonderfully
like those of drunken man and that
the others on the stage held Booth as
much as they could during the last
act. Many of the actors who stand
around Fourteenth street and Union
square professed to know that Mr..
Booth has become a heavy drinker
of late. and that his performance have
been marred before, but Mr.. Thayer,
Booths manager, said "Booth had
not been drinking; it was an attack OF
verago which untitled him for work.
The rest of the performance he went
through as well as sick man could"

said that "Booth's fall was pertly
Salvini's fault. Booth had not been
feeling well all day, he said, but had
worked hard. 1 was with him most
of the day and know he had not been
drinking. He told me after the play
he had been so dizzy at times in the
last act that ne could not see.
Mr.. William Bisham published
card in the Tribune this morning
stating that he was with Mr.. Booth
all Wednesday evening and during the
performance was in Mr.. Booths
dressing room. He denies most EN-.
phatically that Mr.. Booth had been
drinking, but state that the great actor
was suffering from severe bilious
attack and had been i'll all day, and
that 1T was only to hide his great

NEW YORK, April 3O.-The action
of Cardinal Tascheran, of Canada In
issuing mandamant forbidding Cath
olics fromjoining the Knights of Labor
is attracting great attention in labor
circles. Archbishop Courigan list
evening referred reporter to Monsig.
nor Quin. In response to an inquiry y
Monsignor Quinn said that the subject
of the propriety of the Catholics becom
ing knights of Labor had been dis
cussed by the officers of the church in
New York, but no decision had been
reached. We have been watching the
Knights of Labor and shall continue
10 do So. Up to the present time they
do not seem to differ much from a
great many other societies that are not
exactly forbidden BY the church. 1t is
true that there have been disturbances
and possible violences of the law by
Knights of Labor, but that is some-
thing that the church cannot regulate
or be held responsible for. The society
has not been mentioned by name, as
the Free Masons and others have been
on the list of forbidden societies by the
church, and is not therefore on the
same footing. We shall observe the
conduct of the Knights of Labor and
if we see that they are advocating vic.
lations of the law and the rules of the
church we can issue warnings to our
people to leave the organization. it
is the duty cf the bishops and officers
of the church to keep careful watch
at all times to see that the doctrines
and regulations of the church are not
disobeyed AT present, therefore with
relation to any probable action by the
church against the Knights of Labor,
the matter IS with the discretion of
the bishops. They can advise against
it and punish any one for remaining
in the society in opposition to those
warnings, but in the United States it
cannot 90 so far as to eXcommunicate
