VOLCANIC ACTIVITY.
One Of the Most Destructive Erup-
tions In the WORLDS History,

One of the Most Destructive Erup-
tions In the Worlds HISTORY,
San Francisco, July 1.-THE steamer
Alemada. which arrived to-day from
Australia, brings the particulars of q
fearful Volcano eruption in New Zea-
land last month and which is among the
most destructive in the worlds history.
I'he nrst reports of the volcanic distur-
banGe came from Taurauga, in Auckland
Lake district. The natives of that
village were awakened from sleep at two
O'Clock in the morning by repeated vivid
fashes OF lightning which oontinuef. at
rapid intervals up to O. M, when q ire
mendous earthquake occurred, followed
quickly by others. The shocks were 30
violent that people jumped from their
beds And fled for their lives fin their
night clothes, making no effort to save
or take anything with them except their
children. The earthquake continued to
follow one another in quick succession
up to q a. lu., when leaden colored
cloud was observed advancing from
the south. spreading out until 1T covered
the Rky. While still moving it burst
with sound OF thunder, and shortly.
afterward showers of fine dust began
falling. The accounts from other
points state that Mount Larewere was
the great volcano to break forth, and
hardly were the flames seen issuing from
its crater than the entire Peroa range OF
inountalns belched forth in sympathy,
hurting flame, burning lava and stones
over the surrounding country for the
first time in tradition. The extinct
volcano of Ruapeh was awakeed into
activity. The entire country, IN exaent
one hundred and twenty miles long by
twenty broad, was nothing but mass OF
dame and hot, crumbling soil, which in
places rose to height oil 1000 feet,
capped at the highest point by the
Iekopha geyser, said to have been the
grandest In the world. During ell this
time showers OF dust continued to fall
until 1T became SO dense
as to make the day,
dark IS night, and not until the second
day did the dust cease falling. 1t was
noticed that the dust emitted a strong,
sulphurous smell. Numerous small
native villages were totally destroyed.
Walroa was covered to depth of ten
feet with dust and ashes. Raptomahaha
was completely enguIfed, as were also
some other small villages. One hundred
and twenty persons are known to have
lost their lives, among whom are 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 the Auckland
lake district. One old man, chief at
Ratarotura, was dug ont alivs after hav-
ing been buried in ashes for 104 hours.
Every effort was made TO saye the lives
of Others, but in most cases where bodies
were found they were dead. At the date
ct the departure of the steamer Alameda
from Auckland, the volcanoes were still
very active and the temperature hot and
increasing.

Sartoris and his Wife.

Washington, July ia relative of
the Grant family in this crty is author
ity for the statement that the married
life ofNellie Grant Sartoris is far more
humiliatlng and unpleasant than has
yet been made public. Mrs. Sartoris
makes her home with her husbands
father in the north OF England, and &C.
cording to all accounts she is treated as
a sort of poor relation. Two rooms are
set aside for the use of herself and chill
dren and their meals furnished, but
nothing else is given to them either by
her husband or Mr.. Sartoris, senior. So
far, indeed, as the younger Sartoris is
concerned, it ia said that he has not con-
tributed penny to his wife's support
for years. 1t is well known fact that
for couple of years prior to General
Grants death, remittances of morey
were regularly sent to Nellie to p.ovide
herself and children with clotting and
other useful articles Whas the general
became impoverished Though the ras-
calityio of Ferdinand Ward the greatest
regret he is said Is have expressed was
that his poverty would prevent him
from furtbsr assisting Nellie, who was
practically supported by his bounty. All
the members of the Grant family still
contribute to the support of Nellie, and
the children have urged Mrs. Sartoris
for years to separate from her husband
and return to America. 1t is said that
Mrs. Grant made such REQUEST only q
few months ago after learning of some
fresh lpdignity on Sartoris' part. But
the daughter replied that she would not
entertain such proposition a moment
and added Indignantly that she would
refuse to sustain relations OF any
character with her family if these impor.
tunities did not cease. Meanwhile
Sartoris is racing about England, spend.
ing the meagre allowance his father
gives him among companions of his own
kind. The reports, which reach here
from New York say that Sartoris has
been absent from his wife since last
spring and that she hears from him only
at rare intervals. ~

There appears to exist In northern
Dakota 8 disposition to overthrow the
political combination which has so long
held the destinies OF that section in the
hollow of its hand and dictated Its cor
.fhpt policy without so much as pro-
test from the honest citizens OF that
section. For years past the "gang" has
regularly delivered north Dakota in
every political convention and at eyery
election and in instances where it lssaed
the votes to seat it's members ip coveted
positions, it has won through contests. IN
in which victory was scaieved through
the most shameless bargain and sale
processes. This.has gone on until the
the Eng element was fully con-
yinced sdat it was infallibIe in politics
and schicanery. With the opening of
sne campaign of 1886 come evidences of
an awakening, on the part OF the people
OF the north which porsends defeat to
the political spectators of that section.
The Mandan Times expresses itself:
It seems that number OF north Da-
kota counties need purifying from the
machinations of political tricksters, and
the editors in some of the counties have
determined to take firm stand against
themIat the election next fall. This is
eminently proper. for if there is any
thing that will down the carrying on"

is people who have
never rested quietly under the dictation
of the ''gang" and they are now begin
ing to assert, their convictions in no
uncertain terms. The Magyille Tribune
speaks for the people when 1t says:

On Saturday President Cleveland
pardoned convict sentenced for embez-
zlipg the funds of a Buffalo national
bank Of which he was president and re-
fused to pardon convict sentenced for
extorting, as, q pension agent, $500 from
an ex-soldier. The bank robber secured
q large wad of Doodle, while the pension
agent gathered in only o beggarly pit
tanoe. The. former was pardoned be-
cause he has noble wife and FIVE small
children and the latter was not pardoned
becanse-yywell it appears from the ex-
plantations of the president that execu-
tive clemency was withheld
in his case because he was engaged in
the nefarious practIce of securing pen
slons for ex-soldiers. The president says
in his refusal message:
People who make it business to pro-
cure pensions are often of such charac-
ter as to need all restraint and, when
guilty, all the punishment they receive.
Speaking of the bank president the
VA GlS oulLSo EobhlGS shy5 III
the paper accompanying the pardon:
At the time of his conviction his wife,
o noble, courageous and devoted woman,
and 6Ye small children were sad sufferers
for his crime, and exacted the sympathy
of the centre comm unity. By her patient
hard labor to support her children and
her never-failing trust and hope in the
darkest day, this wife has demonstrated
that she at least is entitled to clemency
| am glad to be able to restore to her her
husband and to be satiefied at the same
time that the ends of justice are fully
awarded.
Now it is possible that the other thief
has also family circle, poor and inter
esting, which the executive failed to
discover. The two cases, coming together
in one day, will interest tho public as
much as the Buffalo case has interested
the president.

In recent editorial the Omaha Bee

In recent editorial the Omaha Bee
says:
Why cannot Omaha secure and MAIN
tain at least as large Touring mills az
those of,any interior town in Nebraska !?
The wheat is here, the railroads are at
hand, and all that seems to be needed is
a move to secure men of experience and
brains to conduct the business. . Mills
employ men and factories furnish steady
work to laborers and mechanics. We
want both.
Omaha can maintain Touring mills
even larger and more important than the
small affairs in the interior of the state.
But 1t first needs to secure northern
hard wheat to mix with the soft southern
.varlties. Then 1t canmake -four which
win sell on the market alongside the
hour;of other mills. 10 accomplish this
it needs to fill with railroad the gap
between Yankton and Omaha snd thus
secure direct rail communication with
the hard wheat region of Dakota.

trouble is that the food is inludiciously

according to the directions, forms the
best substitutes for mothers milk that

cloud of hoppers settled down upon a
grain field seven miles from Sanborn
and in brief period of time had de-

their hunger the hoppers rose and
winged their way in a enthusiastically
