Japan's Volcano.

TOXIC, Japan, March 3l.-Within the
last three weeks it has been twice re-
ported that the highest mountain in
Japan, known as Fujiyams, an extinct
volcano with an immense crater, which
had not been in a state of activity or
even 80 much as emitted ahy smoke for
over roo years, has been observed throw
ing out great volumes of thick, black
smoke. The volcano is only seventy
miles from Toxic. Since the explosion
of an interior mountain a few weeks ago,
where no crater had ever existed so far
as the present generation knows, there is
reason to think that the smoke from
Full" as the old volcano is generally
those in the neighborhood. The noun
tain is over $4,000 feet high.

Four Persons Reported Killed and a
Number wounded.
GRAND TOWER, ILL.,, March S1.-About
4 80 Thursday afternoon terrific cyclone
half mile in width passed over the city
and towns adjoining, laying waste every
thing in its path and spreading death
and desolation in many houses.
Grand Tower escaped with but the de-
molishing of church. The cargo
shelter of the Hitchcock wharfboat was
taken upon the bank some 300 feet. The
freight on the wharf was damaged only
by rain. The worst of the storm YVES
among the homes of the poor colored
inhabitants.
The following were killed.
George Meyers. a water boy in a stone
quarry, killed by flying debris while on
his way home.
John E. Bright, killed by a flying
splinter
Infant of Mrs. Jane Carter, colored,
killed by falling timber in their home,
which was demolished.
Mrs. Connor, white, a widow, sup
posed to have been blown into the river.
Quite a number were injured, some of
them seriously.

leaving the wharf with his team when
the storm struck. His wagon was blown
away, but he suffered no injuries.
The Masonic hall roof was blown off,
and the Odd Fellows hall was COM
pletely demolished.

BATTLE WITH INDIANS.


Hostile Appaches Make a Bold Stand
Against Mexican Troops.
TUCSON, Ariz., March 3l.--Advices
from Bavispe, Sonora, Mexico, state that
National troops came upon two renegade
Apaches March 25 and exchanged shots
with them, killing one of the hostiles.
The remainder of the hostiles came TO
the rescue and were driven to strong
hold on the top Of mountain which is
almost impregnable, and opened gall
ing fire, wounding three soldiers, one
fatally. The Indians kept up fire from
early morning until late at night, fore
ing the troops to retire.
The next morning the troops again
marched ON the stronghold, but the
hostiles kept up such an incessant fire
that the troops, who were nearly ex-
hausUed from thirst and hunger, were
compelled 20 retreat The next day the
troops received reinforcements and
charged the stronghold, but found it
abandoned The Indians had left a large
amount of clothing, provisions and
saddles behind them. They moved
north. They had twenty-one horses and
plenty of arms and ammunition.

Comments of That Paper Oh the Falls
Clty's Calamity.
The Courier-Journal Saturday morn.
ing said
"The result of the terrific tornado which
struck Louisville Thursday night do not
become less appalling as they are more
distinctly defined. There was, unless
in some unimportrnt detail, no exagger.
alton in the account of the calamity
which The Courier-Journal published
yesterday morning
1.-The blasted section in the light of
day smites the spectator with a most
impressive sense of desolation. All day
yesterday the work of reclaiming the
dead; of saving stocks; of clearing in
some degree the streets; of canvassing
the needy among those so suddenly de-
prived of their subsistence; of raising
funds to supply their wants, was zeal
ously prosecuted, and all day the streets
were thronged with thousands curious
to look upon the horrors which had been
visited upon their fellows.
Daylight besides disclosing more
plainly the nature of the disaster, has en-
abled more reasonable approximations
of the extent of its losses in lives and
property, although these as yet must be
only approximations. At the latest ac-
counts only ninety-two bodies have been
recovered from the ruins, while it is
futile to speculate by how many the list
of the dead will be increased as the work
of reclamation progresses, or as injuries
to those yet living prove fatal. About
twenty survivors are very seriously, if
not mortally hurt.
There are various estimates as to the
material loss. A conservative calcula-
ton makes it about $C,000,000. Most
place it considerably more than that
figure. Dun's estimate is 50 100000.
"Prompt measures are being taken for
the relief of sufferers. City council has
appropriated $4,000 for this purpose
and SIC, 900 more has been subscribed by
citizens of Louisville.
"This sum will be increased in pro-
portion to requirements, and there is
every reason to say to sympathetic out
siders that Louisville alone can and will
prove equal to caring for her unfor-
tunate.
mayor Jacob viewed the ruins Fri
day in company with Mr.. Scowder, city
engineer. Upon his return he issued the
following proclamation:

The Big Pool.

The most extensive railroad COM
bine ever entered into will be per-
fected within few days. 1t is of
| sufficient magnitude to compel all dis
senting roads to fall into line or be
denied all prorating rights. 1t is the
old trunk line pool extended TO all
the roads. A clearing house will be
established and the traffic divided
among the roads by percentage. fla
road carries more than its share it
will be compelled to pay over the ex-
cess to the pool. Jay Gould is the
author of the scheme and the compact
is to last for five years. II will be OBJ
served that the managers Of the great
highways have not asked the consent
of congress to enter into this huge
pool. The people, the courts and the
law making bodies are alike ignored.
The constitution clothes congress with
the power to regulate commerce
among the states, but what do the
mCnarchs of The rail care for this ?
They combine, issue their imperial
DEGREES regulating the commerce of a
couple of score of sovereign states and
half as many territories, now inhabit-
ed by 65,0O0O00 people, and our
courts and congresses stand awe
stricken and helpless before the auda-
cious spectacle.

cluded 10 smash the political machines
