Of course the activity of Dana Lake
and the cones varies from day to day,
but those who go to the crater and re-
main two or three days, will generally
have an opportunity to see it in action
boiling and spouting as it often does.
Halemaumau and the South Lake were
of late years, prior to the subsistence,
much larger in extent than the present
active one, but have seen the former
when it was only 800 feet across, or as
small as Dana Lake now is. The present
condition of Kilauea is therefore as at
tractive as at some former periods,
though not quite as accessible, as it re-
quires at least half mile longer walk to
reach the edge of the active lake. My
own belief is that within a few weeks or
months, a molten lake will form in Hale
maumau, and that it will as of old be-
come the center of attraction to visitors.
STEAM THE TRUE SOURCE OF VOLCANIC
POWER.
Reference has been made to the dense
smoke and steam rising from the crater,
and have on this visit been particular
to watch the clouds of each as they
foated off in the air. They are easily
distinguished-th smoke rising in dense
masses and forming cloud which, when
the wind is not very strong, hovers, like
huge umbrella, over the crater. When
the wind is high it circles off in a length
ened cloud stretching along the shore
and around the southern point of Ha-
wall. The vapor clouds, on the other
hand, however dense they may be when
issuing from the crater, rapidly disappear
as they rise to a more moderate eleva-
ton. To practised eye they are readily
Observation-Disclosures disappearing fer a
short time, the other floating away for
twenty or thirty miles. The presence of
steam in the Volcano confirms my be-
lief gathered by witnessing five of the
largest eruptions on Hawaii, and by a
seven years residence within sight of
KiIauea that steam or the vapor of fresh
or salt water, is the principal agent of
Volcanic action on Hawaii; and ii it be
SO here, it must be SO ia every other
Volcano.

The Monroe Doctrine.

The Guatemala Star, referring to Ven
ezuela's appeal for American mediation
against English entertainments, says:
The United States certainly ought to
do something in the defence of the rights
of the sister Republic, that are being SO
cody and hagrantly violated, but We fear
nevertheless that In face of England's
manifest determination to keep what
she has taken, Venezuela viii be
allowed to look elsewhere for aid-the

/" DANA LAKE,"


The new and active crater, is located
west of the above two extinct craters,
from which it is separated by immense
walls, perhaps two or three hundred feet
thick and high. In shape it is rather
oblong, 800 by $50 feet. This is filed
nearly to the brim with liquid lava, some
times covered with a black film, but
when in action brilliantly red and mean
descant. Its appearance is that Of
huge pot boiling, and at times, like
fountain of blood, the red mass moving
slowly off to the south and west and
pouring through a hidden aperture, like
water over a dam. The jets thrown up
by the fountains, of which there are
at times one, two, three or more, prob
ably rise to thirty or forty feet, falling in
semi-congealed Jumps like clots of blood
on the surface of the pool, or on the rim
surrounding the crater. 1t gives to the
spectator the idea of huge whale inn
prisoned in the pool, trying in vain to
escape, flashing the. molten LIQUID with
his tail and speuting fiery blood.from his
nestrils. Yet visitors can go to the very
edge and stand SO near the surface OF the
liquid lava as to touch it with pole. The
lava in the pool rises and falls at times
several feet, seldom reaching the top of
the rim surrounding it. During the time
I was there, it was in constant, and at
times in furious ebullition, scattering
jets in every direction, some drops fall
ing within few feet of me.
MADAME PELE APPEARS FROM A CONE.
Leaving the lake, proceeded to a
cone, located lower down, and some 200
yards from 1t, which was in violent ac-
ton. Three jets were issuing from it,
one of which rose % or 80 feet, and SO
terrific were its demonstrations and
noises, that it seemed as though it would
explode and scatter itself in every direc-
ton. On returning to the hotel at 8
o'clock in the evening, remarked to

ADoUBLE-BARRELED AFFAIR
Chippewa Republicans Hold a
Brace of Conventions.

Special to the Globe.
MoNTEvIDEo, Minn., Sept. 1.-The
Republicans had a row to-day in their
county convention. The Scheffer men
got control of the temporary organiza-
ton by vote of IA to Is. The commit
tee, of course, froze out the McGill del
egates from two towns where there were
cOntesting delegations. They elected
four Scheffer delegates, Charles Barber,
G. ii. Budd, l.. IL. johnson and Charles
Densmore. They then adjourned and
in few minutes the McCiill men came
in, the chairman of the central commit
tee reading the call as before. They
forthwith proceeded to organize and
passed the following resolution:
Resolved, BY large number of the
delegates to the county convention held
in MOntevideO, Sept. l, owing to the
packing of the convention by Demo-
Gratis, the chairman of the county COM
mittee, together with many delegates,
bOlted the convention and called
another at the court house
hall and elected a new set
of delegates to represent the Republic:
ans of Chippewa county in the state
convention to be held at st. Paul,
Sept. 5.
They elected a McGlll delegation.
DR.. G. E. Dodgers, G. l.. Rice, Gust
Eliason, w. ii. Welles. The farmers
who were stigmatiZed Democrats are
evidently mugwumps. They were solid
for Scheffer and controlled the con-
vention. The true blue Republicans
were mostly McGill men. A motion to
have the committee on credentials ask
each delegate if he would vote for Har-
rison and Morton was carried, but the
committee consisted of Scheffer mug
wumps and it was not learned how
closely those catecised the delegates. .

Peculiar Decision in the Case of a

Peculiar Decision in the Case of a
Violation ofIowa's Liquor Law.
Special to the Globe.
WATERLOO, To-, Sept. lon Aug.
a large stock of liquors belonging to
Henry Pfifer, Cedar Falls druggist,
was seized by Sheriff Hoxie for alleged
violation of the pharmacy law. The
liquors were valued at 81, 800. The orig
inal proceedings were begun before
Squire Knapp, of Cedar Falls, and after
one or two pOStpOnements change of
venue was taken to Samuel Shields,
Mount Vernon township justice.
The trial lasted three days.
were examined, and their testimony
showed beyond all question that liquor
had been sold contrary to law, and also
delivered to minors on orders in viola
tion of the law; that returns had not
been made to the county auditor of all
sales. as was shown by the number of
the original and return tickets produced
in evidence. At the conclusion of the
arguments the justice announced that
he would take the case under cOnSidera-
ton, and file his decision Friday. This
morning the sheriff received the JUS
tees decision in the shape of an order
to return the liquors to Pfifer. The
grounds on which the ruling was made
are unknown. Pffer at one time offered
a compromise that would have cost
him $500. His offer was, after search
ing examination into the apparent facts
in the case, refused by Pharmacy Com
missioner John III. Pickett for the reason
that he considered the case an aggra-
waited one, with absolute proof of per-
sistent and fragrant violations of the
law. Here appears one of the weak
points in the new law. The state has
no appeal, whereas. had the decision
been the reverse, the druggist could
have appealed to a higher tribunal.

Case i'm PhiIadelphia.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Surgeon Gen.
eral Hamilton has just received dis
patch from Philadelphia, informing him
that case of yellow fever has been dis
covered there in the person of Florida
refugee, who passed the inspection at
Waycross, Ga. The patient was sent
to the municipal hospital.
The supposed yellow fever patient is
James McNerny. about forty years of
age, who left Jacksonville last Wednes-
day with a party of twenty-four others
for the North. The party were pro-
vided with passports and passed inspec-
ton in the regular way, remaining to-
gether until they reached Washington,
there they separated and McNerny
came here. Yesterday he felt i'll
and applied at the German hospit-
al for admission. Upon being exaln-
med by the physicians, he was pro-
nounced to be suffering from fever re-
sembling either malaria or intermittent
and was admitted. He declared when
admitted that he came from an interior
portion of this state, but further ques-
tioning this morning revealed the fact
that he was from Jacksonville. 1t is
generally believed that the case is not
one of yellow fever.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. 1.-The
1st of September was another prolific
day in fever victims. For the third day
in succession the new cases reported to
the board of health have numbered
twenty-three. Quite large proportion
are of colored people of Oakland, though
the cases are well scattered through
the city. Only two deaths occurred
to-day, both employees of the
postoffice. AT citizens meeting to-
day much better feeling prevailed. AS
surance of opening route to places Of
fering refuge to our people who can
leave has caused hundreds of faces to
brighten, and gave hope of very con-
siderable reduction of the population in
the near future. Hundreds of
comfortable, rough houses will be
erected at once for cities of
refuge for the poor, a few miles from
the city, and several thousand people,
principally colOred, will soon be re-
moved. Two camps are now inhabited
and one will be established six miles
north of Trout Creek. Number of cases
reported to date, PA; deaths, 50; now
under treatment, 162.
Tomorrow an excursion train will
leave here for South Carolina, in ac-
cordance with Surgeon General Hamil-
toms suggestion and permission, and it
will be well filled, foo. 1t is especially
urged now that the women and chill

and great efforts are being made to send
them off. The rush to Camp Perry con-
tinues, and those who intend to stay
will be rather lonesome by next week.
Mr.. Enter, fireman, of the Pine street
station, received a letter from his sister
in CharlestOwn, stating that she
was suffering from severe attack of
yellow fever, and that there were sew
eral other cases in that city. 1t is not
known whether this is true or not, as it
cannot be corroborated now. Owing to
the sickness III the city, the ''log trains"
over the Florida Central & Peninsular
Railroad have been for the present aban-
doned. The railroad authorities
say that they do not desire to jeop-
ardize the health of the engineers and
other employees in running past st.
Luke's hospital, as they must do to
reach the depot. However, several of
the mills have a sufficient supply of
logs on hand to last them for some time,
and are constantly receiving more from
different points up the river.

WINoNA, Sept. 1.-The Republicans
held their county convention to-day
and selected eight delegates to the state
convention at st. Paul. They go unin-
structed, and are divided, but Albert
Scheffer gets none of the division. The
Republican tonight states that three of
the delegates are friendly to McGill,
but it did not mention the fact that the
other five are probably for Merriam.
AS a matter of fact it may be said
none of them are pledged, but
five of the eight will support Merriam.
The convention was called to order by
j. A. Gawney, Esq. j. j. Randall was
elected chairman and l. c. Seade, of
Lewiston, secretary. o. K. Jones, J.
II. Moss and ID. Sinclair were appointed
a committee on credentials, and J. A.
Tawney, 40. B. Gould and S.
G. Dick on permanent Organi-
ZatiOn. The committee on Gre
dentials reported delegates present
from all the wards in Winona and from
towns in the county. The temporary
organization was made permanent. A
motion to ballot for eight delegates to
the state convention was carried, and
the following were elected; being four
from the city and four from the county:
j. NJ. Blair, c. A. Fuller, Noah Brown,
ST., IL. ii, Lee, j. Pickert, j. H. A.
Lacher, J. j. Randall, j. a. Tawney.
Col. 0. B. Gould arose on the an
nouncement of the ballot and made a
strong speech for his friend, Gov. Nc
Gill. He advocated INSTRUMENTATION as
a matter of custom, and on account of
his high license record. He attacked
Scheffer methods in attempting to Sc
cure the nomination, and said McGill
was too poor to go about the state buy
ing up papers and politicians as some
other candidates had done. The elec-
tlon of the delegates was then declared
unanimous, and the delegates were en-
powered to fill vacancies.

Grow CREEK AGENCY, Dak., Sept. 1.
The commissioners devoted almost all
of yesterday to personal interviews
with those of the Indians who are Op-
posed to ratifying the treaty, and their
labors met with widely gratifying re-
suits. Many Indians, who have been
actively working against the measure,
council was called to order late last
night, White Ghost being first to ad-
dress the assembly of Indians. He said:
1--WE want this work done peaceably
and quietly. We will put our attention
very closely to the work you have
brought, as we wish to think it over
quietly and carefully. We were to have
come forward with the pen, but this
isn't the day. We wish to wait until
another day." Judge Wright then arose
and called attention to paper which
had been referred to him to be consld-
cred and which covered two requests
which the Indians made, one being for
remuneration from the Northwestern
road for piece of land containing
about eighty acres that had
been taken possession of by that
road when their line was extended to
Pierre; the other for the transfer of
some of their people from Standing
Rock to this agency. Judge Wright re-
piled that he would call the attention of
the Great Father to these matters imme-
diately. White Ghost then made very
hope everything will be Strengthened
out. l have always wished for that, and
when it is done l will be happy"
White Ghost was repeatedly greeted by
GRUNTs OF APPROVAL.
He was followed by several other
prominent Indians, not one of whom
spoke against the bill. A slight dis
turbance was caused during the council
by young Indian, who made short
speech in favor of the bill and was i'm
mediately called at to sit down by some
of the most radical. Agent Anderson
at once told the chief of police to quell
the disturbance. and when quiet was
obtained, told the council that he would
not for moment allow any one to in
terfere with those who wished to speak,
and that he was sorry that the disturb
ance had taken place, as the commits
sioners had supposed they were dealing
with gentlemen, and not with roughs.
Capt. Pratt was to-day presented with
a handsome pipe by fancifully-attired
young IHulSll lOSSCu up loI tllC oCCd-
sion. Capt. Pratt appeared to be con-
siderably surprised at this token of re-
spect. Some of the young Indians are
anxious to sign in order that they may
go to their homes and attend to their
crops. Accordingly another council
will be held this evening to give those
wishing to do so an opportunity to sign.
The commissioners are greatly encour-
aged by the result of tO-day's council
and the reports from Lower Brule, and
express confidence in their ability to Sc
cure sufficient number of signatures
to open the reservation.

MGILL'S WATERLOO.
He Meets 1t in Mankato and Blue
Earth County.

Earth County.
Special to the Globe.
MANKATO, Minn., Sept. Hot and
heavy was the fight here to-day among
the Republican clans, which terminated
with uncertain result in the primaries
tonight, though, to say the least, disas-
trous to the McGiIl element. The fight
has been kept up with merciless vigor
throughout the summer, and the result
is surprising only in its uncertainty.
That McGill has received severe rebuke
from the city of Mankato, and no
doubt the returns will show, from Blue
Earth county, is only too apparent, but
to whom future favOrS will fall is still
matter of great doubt. Merriam seems
to be leading in popular favor, while a
few openly declare their allegiance to
Schetfer, and others talk knowingly
of dark horse i'll connection
with the names of Gilman and
Ramsey. The result by wards in
this city tonight, is as follows: In
the First ward the following anti-Mc-
Gill ticket was elected by a vote of SO to
60; Christopher Palcham, A. j. Nor
risOn, b. Bangerter, Jr., George VOs-
beck, Fred Widell, John Rudel, George
ROOs. A majority of these are pre-
sumed to favor Merriam. while the 9th
ers are divided. In the Second ward q.
NJ. Phillips, l.. d. Taller, F. B. Clem-
ents and q. w. Scherer were
elected, two of whom favor Nc
Gill, one Merriam and one Schetfer.
The Third ward delegation is divided
between Merriam and Ramsey. but solid
against McGill. The delegation is as
follows: S. W. Burgess, Ed Brad
ley, 0. A. Pitcher, j. II. Williams, G..
l.. King, W. ii. Pey, Charles Crauch,
George Pond. The Fourth ward elected
the following anti-McGill delegation,
which is strong for Merriam: B. Tut
tie, Gus Peterson, ID. L. Clements, +.
n. Merrill, John c. Palcham, NJ. b.
Wood. Ii. C. Burgess, P. w. Griff,
Owens Pitcher, Swan Johnson.
E. p. Freeman, w. l.. Clark, Jesse
Welch. Lake Crystal sends four anti
McGill delegates. The county conven-
tiOn is to be held Monday, Sept. 8, when
delegates to the state convention will be
selected. On the whole the result of
the primaries here tonight may be con-
sidered big victory for Merriam.
