lava would be raised fully 10 to Is feet
high, and then would be completely
swept over, and the red glare of the fire
would shine so brilliantly as to illumi-
nate the heavens during the night
(Which was a very dark one) into day.
We had what some people might con-
slider rather a narrow escape, as while
the interest of the party was concen-
trated to the middle of the crater a
fresh outburst occurred at the north
side where our party was standing, and
large pieces of lava were thrown up
within few yards from us, and we had
as the saying is, to make tracks.
One piece of lava, weighing about ten
pounds, was thrown within four yards of
the party.
After leaving the crater shortly after
80 We proceeded, with our handker-
chiefs over our mouths, to the usual
track for home, but the fumes of the sui
phur were so strong that on arriving at
the top of the bank it was some minutes
before we could find our speech. We
arrived at the Volcano House soon after
9 o'clock, and did ample justice to an
excellent supper which had been pre-
pared by our host, who has, with his
wife, done so much towards our COM
forts and made our stay at the Volcano
House so pleasant.

lulu, where he was employed by the Gov
eminent of that country. In 1886 he was
sent to India on a mission from the King
of Honolulu, and he sent his wife home to
England. The respondent came to Lon
don, and some time after she made the &C
quaintance of Captain Armstrong, an Off
Ger in the Seaforth Highlanders. She went
with that gentleman to Brighton. where
they stayed at the Grand Hotel as man
and wife. The respondent afterwards
went to Colorado with the correspondent
who had some property there. They re-
turned from Colorado and were now living
together IN Park Lane. The Judge pro-
nounced decree nisi with costs, and or
dered the petitioner. Captain Hayley. to
have the custody of the only child of the

lie Maitre des FORCES" was the play at AL.
baugh's last night, with Nine. Hading as
Claire. 1t was her first appearance before
Washington audience, aud there was that in
her work which made an impression which
will last as long as memory and emotion
exist. Beautiful, graceful; gentle, powerful;
subtle, pronounced; complex, simple; enjoy
ing, suffering; artistic, natural, she combines
In one, all the varying forces OF woman's ma
ture, and gives them such expression as
woman's art alone can give. Her support was
excellent throughout, the Forge Master Of NJ
Dugesne being especially worthy Of note for
its strength and reserve NJ Jean Coquelin's
Modinet was an amusing bit Of comedy, and
Mile. Kerwick's Suzanne, a very pretty girl In
very pretty character.
A noticeable feature in the work Of these
French actors, and one worthy OF initiation by
our American players, is that Of addressing
themselves TO the persons in the scenes aud
not the persons in the audience. The audi
ence was distinguished By quality rather than
quantity. Tonight "L'Aventuriere," with

Alleged Marriages.
William Lee, the ex-policeman who is
under indictment for bigamy, was tried
in the Criminal Court to-day, Mr.. Null
lowney appearing for the Government
and Campbell Darlington for Lee. The
defendant is supposed to be a paralytic,
as he keeps up constant shaking, and
the doctors have not been able to say
positively that he is shamming.
Alva V. White testified yesterday that
she was Lees second wife, having mar
ried him in 1869, when he was awidower,
and that they were divorced in 1886. The
expectation of the Government was to
show that he married George Long, a
colored woman. in 1885, under the name
of Hamilton Y. Gray.
The marriage license was shown to
have been issued to Hamilton De Gray
and Alva V. White. In order to prove
the identity of the prisoner, Lieutenant
Kelly was called. He had arrested Lee
on the charge of obtaining $40 from a
young man whom he had agreed to ap-
point as chemist to the Corean embassy.
Mr.. Kelly testified that he recognized
him as William Lee, who had been on

THE BASEBALL LEAGUE.
Some Few and Weak Notifications of
the Rules.


the Rules.
All the big baseball men are in
New York city for the meeting of the
National League. William Barnie of
Baltimore, with Messrs. Rogers of Phiia-
delphia, ]. b. Day of New York, Spauld-.
ing of Chicago, Byrne of Brooklyn, and
Schmelz Of Cincinnati, form the COM
mittee to make changes in the rules.
Manager Sullivan and l.. N. Burkett repre-
sent Washington in the proceedings.
The board or directors of the League,
consisting of w. A. Nimick, T. II.
Stcarns, A. S. Soden and Walter Hewitt,
awarded the championship pennant yes
terday TO the New York Baseball Club.
The presentation was of an informal
character. The Detruits will leave the
League, and their place will be taken by
the Cleveland Club. The Detroits say
they can make more money outside OF
the League. Hl
A good deal ofldiscussion went on
among the delegates about the attempt of
the Boston Club TO buy Ward, New
York's famous shortstop. The New
Yorks want $15,0o0for Wards release.
The Boston men refused to speak def
nitoly about the matter, but 1T is gen
orally DelleVed that the money VIII ne
paid if Ward cannot be procured at q
lower price at
The first proposition which came be-
fore the committee was to move the
pitchers box fifty-five feet from the
home plate. Ii was voted down.
Another suggestion was to return to
the old high and low ball system.
but 1t was finally decided to reject
it. As compromise, however, it was
decided, after good deal of discussion,
to cut down the number of bad halls al
lowed to the pitcher from five to four.
The idea of the reformers was further
carried out by abolishing "outs" on foul
tips.
The foul fly caughtis out just the same
as before. The only other change Of
importance made was in the modification
of the rule which allows batter to take
his base If pitched ball hits the umpire
behind the bat. 1t was decided that /
batted ball hits the umpire while h,
is doing duty inside the diamond tn,
batter is entitled to his base just the SAM
as if he had hit safely. There will alsC
be an effort made to make the rule
clearer for the benefit of the umpires.

BUREAU OF CORRESPONDENTS.
The New Division OF tho Department OF
Agriculture.

The New Division OF tho Department of
Agriculture.
The new bureau In the Agricultural
Department, authorized to be established
at the last session Of Congress, and known
as the Bureau Of Correspondence with
Agricultural Stations, has been assigned
quarters in the east end of the Depart.
ment building, and has begun work un-
der the direction of Professor W. o. At
water.
The functions OF the new bureau have
not vet been clearly defined, and, prob.
ably additional legislation will be asked
TO further the purposes Of its creation.
Work has already been commenced,
however, and IL is the intention TO supply
the agricultural experimental stations
throughout the country with all obtain.
able Information concerning the inves-
legations they may be making. TO this
end, bulletins will be published from
time to time, setting out the results OF
agricultural experiments in this country
and abroad, which will be distributed
among the stations.
The bureau will serve TO keep each Of
the stations informed of the progress of
experiments at the other stations. a
special library will be assembled, which
may be drawn upon by stations not able
to meet the expense of maintaining theii
own libraries. A feature of the work
will be to engage the ablest specialists
in this country and Europe to complete
articles on subjects about which informa'
ton may be required H..
As it often happens that the persons
conducting the stations are not able tc
read publications in foreign languages
relating to agricultural matters, the bu
reau will also undertake to have transla
tions made Of such papers, and these viii
be republished for general distribution
whenever the Importance of the subjec
seems to warrant the expense, Still an
other function Of the bureau will be t
supply Congress with information tina
may be found necessary to aid it in legis
lating upon agricultural matters.
Professor Atwater, who is at the heaC
of the bureau, is a skilled agriculture
chemist, and is said TO have established
the first agricultural experimental sta
ton in this country. He has been nc
lively interested in them ever since, an,
is confident that the new bureau will b
of great aid to the stations in econom
ically expending the half millions dollar
already appropriated by Congress to ai
in their experiments, and the million
that will be appropriated for that purpos
in the future.
