On the Cone of Vesuvius During A
ERUPTION.

Several times minute the surface
of the tossed lava was rent by violent
explosion of gases, which appeared to
hurl the whole mass of fluid rock into
the air. The ascending column OF
vapor and lava fragments rose as
shaft to the height of several hundred
feet. Many of the masses, which
seemed to rise with the ease OF bubbles.
were some feet in diameter and made
a great din as they crushed down upon
the surface on the southwark side OF
the crater. They often could be seen
to fly into fragments as they assembled.
At the moment of the explosion the
escaping gases appeared transparent,
few score feet above the point of escape
the elected column became OF steel
gray color, and little higher it changed
to the characteristic hue of steam. That
it was steam slightly mixed with other
gases was evident wherever in its whiri-
ing movements the vaporous columns
swept around the point of observation.
The curious "washing-day" odor OF
steam was perfectly apparent, together
with pungent sense of sulphurous
fumes suggestive of an Internal laun-
dry. The principal obstacle arose
from the violence of the shocks given
to the cone and propsgated through
the air by the explosions, which made
it extremely difficult to fix the attention
on the phenomena. The earthquakes
attending each explosion were almost
strong enough to shake one from the
ground, and the blow received through
the air was like that which those
familiar with mines have received when
a heavy charge of gunpowder or dynar
mite is exploded The sensation Is
such as might come from being violently
struck by feather bed; not danger
Gus, but extremely disorganizing to the
wits After about fifteen minutes Of
observation slight change OF wind
allowed the descending masses to fall

OPIUM pays duty of $40 per pound.
It is now stated that 40, 900 pounds
have been shipped through the New
York customs-house without paying
duty. This would mean loss to the
Government of 81, 300, OO0 This is one
way of reducing the surplus that no
body favors except dealers in opium.
The way the opium slipped through
was this: When goods are removed
from customs-houses which have been
imported with the intention of export
ing them no duty is collected, but a
sworn declaration is required from the
owner that they are removed from
warehouse solely for expectation. The
10000 pounds mentioned did not get
out of this country. Somebody swore
falsely. Customs-house oaths are re-
garded by some importers as made
only to be violated. Constant vigilance
is required to head off fraud based on
perjury by men who in any othertrans-
action would hesitate before swearing
falsely. differentiation to escape ad
yalorem duties is a constant device and
ne eds close and constant watching. In
the case mentioned soporifc effect of
the drug imported seems to have made
the customs-house officers sleepy.
They have just walked up to the fact
that while they were dreaming the
happy hours away certain thieves were
stealing 81, 800, 600 from the Govern
ment. Opium seems to be as deleteri-
GUS to traders in it as consumers Of it

about his waist, and bending his head
obediently before an old woman who
was literally plastering it with lime.
AS soon as the curious pair became
aware OF our presence the process in
operation was arrested, and, perceiving
this, we were about to address them to
explain our presence and ask few
questions. when the gentleman of the
limy head roared out something in
truly terrible voice, and at the same
time fine young Tongan, very oily

out from the interior toward us. With
much politeness and evident agitation
he conducted us away from the veranda
and back to the big house, where in
broken English, backed up by much
gesticulation, he revealed to us the ap-
palling fact that we had trespassed

than his majesty the King.

no effort to supply your places. On the
contrary it is evidently hoping and expect
ing that you will return to its service. It is.
as understand it, inviting you to return
not asking you, in 60 inviting you, to give
up your connection with the brotherhood. or
to surrender any ties of organization, but to
come back as body and occupy your old
places. 1t does not seem to me, therefore,
that your suspicion is founded upon q rea-
sonable basis of fact. The facts apparent
to the public are against it,,
Replying to the statement of Mr.. Conroe
that it would be impossible for the railway
employees of the corporations to protect
their just rights without an organization,
such as the brotherhood of Engineers, Gov
ernor Martin said that he conceded that 10
be true; that he believed that majority of
the intelligent and reasonable railroad
managers of the country entertained SINH
lar views. In any event, it must be appar-
emit to the pubic that the individual emdloye
needed the protection of combination or
organization. The people have recognized
the fact that the railroad companies needed
to be controlled by the passage of
laws, national and state, having in
view the regulation Of the railroad
companies, to protect the public against ex-
tortions, determinations and excessive
charges. Said he: 81 believe that similar
laws, national and state, ought to be passed
for the protection of the railroad employee
in their just rights, and to preclude the DOS
sibility of the recurrenceof such q disaster
as threatens the public. The succession of
strikes that has occurred on the various rail-
roads during the past two or three years
intelligen tman in tho country that such
laws are necessary. And, 90 far O. / am

Its hands in the fight it is making against
your organization, and weakening and injur
ing the great competing lines which have
recognized your Brotherhood completely,

the Brotherhood, and upon basis of justice
and fairness, as you acknowledge"
Referring to the effect of the strike on tho
Kansas roads, the governor said: s'Ir seems
to me, Mr.. Conroe, that tho engineers of the
brotherhood, employed upon Kansas roads,
should fairly consider the effects of . sus-
pension OF business on these roads. There
are 1,65O,OOO people in the state of Kansas
whose commercial, industrial, agricultural,
ana other business relations, have all been
adjusted to the regular operation Of the
railroads within the state. IF the sus-
penMon OF business on the Santa Fe should
be followed, as you intimate it may, by .
strike on other roads, what will be the con-
sequence? Within ten days every manu-
featuring and industrial establishment in
the state will be obliged to suspend because
it cannot obtain fuel or because it cannot
ship its products to the markets. Within
two weeks one half of the stores and bust
ness houses Of Kansas would be out

life. The farmers of the state
could not ship their grain and stock
to the markets. The merchants could not
obtain supplies of goods. Within three
weeks, in many Of the remote sections of the

fronted by absolute starvation. In very
brief time thousands of our people would Be
