The TRIBUNEs staff correspondent who has
been making a circuit of South America fur
nishes to-day some interesting and important
reflections upon the agricultural colonies of the
Argentine Republic. 1t is well known that
the Argentines have been at great pains to
stimulate immigration to their country and that
large numbers Of Europeans have gone thither.
The precise terms offered to agricultural i'm
migrants, however, and the prospects of making
a comfortable livelihood there not so well
understood 1t appears"that some Americans
have set out for the Argentine in the hope of
improving their condition, only to find that
they had been lured by false hopes. The dif-
ference between the American and the Argcn-
tine method of popping public lands, as de-
scribed in the letter elsewhere printed, may be
read with advantage by any disconnected
farmer in this country who pictures to himself
an FL Dorado in South America

The explanation given by Captain Roberts, OF

the mshap to the City of Paris will be accepted
as satisfactory In one point at least the ac-
count telegraphed from Queenstown a week
ago was altogether incorrect. The dispatch
said that the captain of the Adriatic offered to
take off the passengers of the City of Paris and
carry them to New-York. On the contrary
Captain Roberts offered to convey the pas
sengers to Queenstown but he declined to take
the City of Paris in tow because he was not IN

That was when the Democratic club laid the

The wit, ridicule and rantings OF mob had

duty to the House. Applause on the Repub-
lican sidel. After one Of these stormy
scenes, he Mr.. Henderson, had heard one
gentleman on the Democratic side say to an
other. ''Dld you hear that rebel yell?" Let
that the northern dougb-face was an animal

stand that the country had passed through
a fiery. furnace, which had elimin tied

the other side undertook to control this
country whether they were in majority or
a minority. They could not do 1t. ZAP

licans meant business and it was to do that
business calmly, earnestly, bravely and
patriotically that they were here. Assault

hurled against the Speaker. The gentlemen
had been very chary of making such assaults
when the Speaker was on the floor instead of
on the Republican side No gentleman had
dared outside or inside the chamber to in
suit Mr.. Reed when he occupied seat on
the floor. Was this chivalrous bravery for
men to stand in front of the desk and burl at
the Speaker epithets they would not have
dared to utter had he been on the floor?

THE MISSING BROTHERS.

The PRESS. the other morning, published

Sawtelle, fruit dealer. of Boston. had been
missing for several days. BE left Boston on
receipt Of e despatch Wednesday, February
4th, dated Rochester, N. H., sent by his
brother, Isaac Sawtelle. stating that Hiram's
little daughter was very i'll at that town.
Isaac returned to Boston the next day with
the little girl. Isaac has served a term in
state prison, and it is thought by his broth
er'S family that he has used foul play
towards his brother as they had quarrel
over business matters. Isaac went off again
Sunday, and Mrs. Sawtelle had despatch
from him, dated Rochester, February 10th,
saying he would write or telegraph when he
found Hiram. Officers Shields and Witham

A vocanic Eruption Causes Heavy

The Duke Sent to Jail WhlIes Gems

SAN FRANCISCO, February 12-The
steamer Gaelic arrived from Hong Kong and
Yokohama late last night Japanese advic-
es give the details of terrible vocanic erup-
tion in Japan. Mount Zoo, in the Bingo
district, commenced to rumble at O'Clock
on the evening of January 16 and continued
two hours, followed by a short cessation
during which the inhabitants of the neigh
boring villages rushed from their homes.
Soon the top of the mountain was lifted off
amid din equal to a dynamite explosion.
Sand and stones were belched forth falling
near the town of Buckuyama, where the
smoke and fire were blown by wind. At the
entrance or the town, the ground was COW
cred with sand and earth to depth of over
foot. Stones and earth fell at Midsunom-
imura. six miles away. No previous erup-
tion of Mount Zoo is recalled. One man lost
his life and some stock was killed. Fifty
five houses were destroyed. The total loss
entailed by the eruption is estimated at near

GUARDED BY ARMED MEN.
Friends May Attempt to Rescue One
of the hatfield Gang.

LOUISVILLE. KY, February PA de-
spatch from Pikeville states that the great
est excitement prevails there, because Of the
actions of Ellison Maunts, who is to be
hanged next week Tuesday. Maunts Is one
of the Hatfield outlaws, and his crime Is the
murder of Alfara Mccoy. Friends OF the
condemned assert that he has lost his mind
since being confined. and insist that the
sheriff summon jury Of inquiry into his
mental condition. That officer refuses how
ever in view Of the fact that he believes il
merely a ruse on the part of Maunts to post
pone the hanging
AS result of the sheriff's refusal to act on
this request, friends of the murderer have
expressed their determination to rescue him
at the last moment. As many Of the friends
of the condemned are Of the most desperate
element Of the lawless mOuntaineers, the au-
th0ritieS are apprehensive lest the threats be-
put into execution. Though the Pikevlle
Jail is of the most modern kind, pickets have
been placed around the town, and the
prisoner is constantly guarded by an armed
posse.
The sheriff sent an official notice to Gov.
Bpckner this week explaining the situation,
and requesting immediate assistance. Pre-
parations for the hanging continue. The
prisoner refuses to talk, and has eaten moth
ing for a week. In this his friends see an
evidence of insanity. In the case of an at
tempt at rescue the most serious con-
sequences are apprehended, as the prisoners
friends are well armed.

a Grave oIgger,s Outfit.

BOSTON, February 12.-Nothing has yet
been heard from Hiram f. Sawtelle, who
disappeared last Wednesday. Officers are
still In the dark as to the whereabouts of his
brother Isaac, against whom suspicion grows
stronger. Last Tuesday afternoon Isaac
purchased spade in Rochester, and later
hired team and drove toward East Leban-
on. All trace of him was lost between
South and East Lebanon. 1t is believed
that he took to back roads. Wednesday
morning he went to the train, and was met
by u man, believed to be his brother Hiram,
who drove away with him in the direction
taken the day before. Later Isaac bought
another spade. pickaxe and a hatchet, with
q bag in which to put them. A woman In q
farm house near the Lebanon road, saw a
team pass that evening. In the wagon was
bag similar to the one Isaac bought. 1t is
believed that Isaac knows what has become
Of his brother.
Mr.. Horne, who lives at the Springvale
and Lebanon cross roads, says that man
answering Sawtelle's description called at
his house Wednesday morning. Mr. Horne
says: He asked the road to Springfield. /
told him, but he still fingered, and was in
tentionally inquiring about all the back
roads and cross-cuts from Springvale to
Rochester. My daughter was present, and
she noticed that the wind blew back the robe
exposing on the side nearest us new shovel
with a red label on the handle, stamped with
gold letters. When the man noticed this be
at once got in, but did so by walking around
the carriage, apparently not wishing to un-
cover the contents.

scripts OF his class who were more fortunate
than he had been, and who were able to
serve their country.
The counsel for the defendant declared
that the dukes act was the result of a gen.
erous impulse, and would be an honor to him
throughout his life. He hoped that in the
such children to defend her. This sentiment
was greeted with applause. The counsel
further c0ntended that the law impos ing
military service upon all Frenchmen nulli-
fedthe law relating to the exile of the prime
es.
After the sentence had been pronounced,
a thousand persons invaded the advocates
robing room. Many of them were Monarch
lists, and shouted: "Long live the Duke of
Orleans" Their shouts were met with
counter cries of Down with the Duke of
Orleans; long live the Republic" The
guards were pOwerless to restore order.
After venting their feelings here for a
time, the crowd shouted: 80 the statue (:
let US crown Henry w."
With one accord they rushed to the site Of
the statute, where there were cries of "Long
live the king" from the dukes sympathiZers
and counter cries of "Long live the Repub-
lic' from his opponents.
