Senator Plumb Tired.

WASHINGTON. D. c., December 16.-Senat
Plumb has been "out of sorts" ever since his
arrival in Washington. He was almost worn
out when he went to Kansas last fall, and his
campaign work and other business, which he
was obliged to attend to while in Kansas,
gave him no time for recuperation. HIS
work in Washington during the past year
has been extremely arduous, and his physi-
clan has told him that the overwcrked condi-
ton of his system demands rest. He has
decided TO leave Washington immediately
after the adjournment and be absent until
the reaasembling of congress, which will
probably give him two weeks rest He will
not return to Kansas, but just where this
short vacation will be spent he will not know
for day or two. He would like to take q
trip to the Bermudas, but it 10 not likely he
viii have time now.

Another Prompting.

ST. PAUL, MIMI, December 15.-The ALI.
ance organ, the State, is out with another
''hold your wheat" circular. and presents
the usual array of figures to show the farmer
that he will profit by following the advice
laid down therein. 1t holds that Russia is en-
tirely out of the race and India practically
so, and that present and future deliveries
from farmers will fill but small portion OF
the requirements. 1t does not advise the
farmer to create an unnecessary scarcity OF
repudiate his debts, but to sell only what be
is Obliged to when the receipts are large and
increasing, and when they are on the decline
to sell only a certain portion each month.
The exporting capacity of the United States
is figured at 100000 600 bushels more than
last year, which falls AZ, OO0, 600 short of sup
plving the worlds deficit. Taking all tfie
into account, the author of the circular
claims that if the farmer does not get twice
whas is now offered for his wheat, 1t is his
own fault

A Son Of JOAQUIN Miller.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, December 1.-Jo.
seph Mckay, who is in Jail at Uklah, CAL,
charged with stage robbery, has been found
to be the son of Joaquin Miller, the Poet of
the Sierras." The real name of the young
man is Harry Miller. He is % years of ace
and the son of the poet by the latter's first
wife, Minnie Myrtle. On November Is the
Ukiah and Eureka stage was held up nine
teen miles from Ukiah by q masked man,
armed with a rifle. Charles Lambert, the
stage driver, upon reaching Ukiah, told the
sheriff and the latter started on the trail. He
found the empty treasure box and learned
that farm house in the vicinity of Willetts'
village had been robbed a few days previ-
ously of a rifle and other articles similar to
those in possession of the masked man who
stopped the stage. The sheriff followed to
Hopeland, fourteen miles south of Ukiah,
and there learned that Miller had been cut
ting wood for a man named Willard, and
had left Willard's four days prior to the stage
robbery and returned there few days after
the robbery. After obtaining his mail Miller
again disappeared. The sheriff followed the
fugitive to Santa Rosa and arrested him at q
hotel there. In relating the story, the sheriff
said that Miller, after considerable persua-
sion, confessed and took the sheriff to the
place where the rifle and Ak had been buried.
Miller says his life might have been differ
ent, but he never was encouraged to 60 to
school or make anything of himself.

American Federation Of Labor.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, December 16.-Repre-
sentative workingmen, connected with al
most every manufacturing industry, and
coming from every section of the country, to
the number of several hundred were gathered
in Erswell's hall when President Samuel
Gompers, of New York. called to order the
eleventh annual convention of the American
Federation af Labor.
The president proceeded to deliver brief
address of welcome.
ut was" he said, ''the largest convention
of the federation in its history. The growth
of the organization durng the past year has
been phenomenal, and the delegates before
him represented more than three quarters of
million of organized labor"
The financial exhibit showed that the re-
ceipts of the year had been 81. 346 and the
total expenditure S13, 1879, leaving a balance
of So, 156. Of the total expenditures nearly
81, 500 represented loans and donations to
organizations on strike.
The statement of expenditures was rem
dered notable by the item showing that the
Otal outlay for salaries on account OF organ
iZation with hundreds of branches and q
membership of three-quarters of a million
was but $500. The comparative sum-
mary showed that four years ago
the total receipts Of the organization were
but $1,000 for the entire year. During the
past year a loan of $500 had been made to
the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners of Pittsburg, Pa, to aid them IN
their strike, and it has since been repaid In
full. Two thousand dollars have also been
loaned to the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea. to aid the Iowa striking miners. The
convention will be asked to make the loan q
donation.

Mexican Affairs.

C1rY OF MEXICO, December 15.-Mail adj
vices from Colima say that on the Sd instant
the eruptions of the volcano were unusually
grand. The first took place at 3 in the after
noon, preceded by a rumbling underground
noise. The second was at 5 o'clock. In both
eruptions large masses of lava rushed down
the sides of the mountain. A lurid column
of fire bursting forth sent up masses of
smoke, which, like large bodies of clouds.
filled the heavens and made magnificent
spectacle. All through the night a rain of
ashes fell in the town of Collima and through
out the nei2hborhood. In Haytois the streets
and houses were covered thickly with it, as
with snow.

trial in the criminal court during the past
week, charged with having embezzled go. 600
of the city's money, has been acquitted. The

signed by Peake.
The defense was that these slips originally
represented the amounts drawn by Peake
against his salary, but that they were raised
by clerks in the Office. who really got away

miners at the mines of the Colorado Coal
aud Iron company. at Crested Butte, result
ed much more seriously than the firm antic-
lpated, and there are yet indications of
further bioodshed before the matter Is set

posed reduction announced by the company.
Since the men went out they have been very
ugly. refusing to allow the company to bring
in new men. and have stopped the pumps
with gas, until there 10 danger of the mines
blowing up. They parade the streets heavily
armed, threatening death to any one who
should attempt to assist the company in any

Los ANGELES, CAL, December ia ter
rible gale has occurred here, when the wind
reached velocity of seventy-eight miles per
hour.
Its severity seems to have been the greatest
in Pasadena and in San Gabriel valley.
So far as reported two persons we're killed.
Mrs. Brown, living near Glendale, was burned
to death, and A. D. Tabor was killed at Nor
walk.
In Los Angeles The damage was nominal.

of several churches and the destruction of
many houses and barns. The Raymond hotel
has suffered serious loss. The destruction to
orange orchards is reported heavy. In ex-
posed places the fru,t was blown OFF.
All the wires on the line of the Santa Fe
are down except single wire east via Bar
stow. Reports made by passengers coming
in are that a number of buildings along the
line are blown down and much fruit blown
from the trees.
The storm was terrific up in the San Fran
cisco valley. The old mission at San Ber-
nardino was shaken up as it never was be-
fore. Great chunks of the adobe walls were
hurled about. Big timberS placed in posi-
ton centuries ago were dragged from their
resting places.
At Burbank the Presbyterian church was
wrecked. Here and there along the Los An
geles river section barns and fences were
wrecked.

Safety In the Railroad Service.
WASHINGTON, d. c., December 1.-THE
following is taken from the presidents mes
sage:
have twice before urgently called the at
tention of congress to the necessity of legls-
lation for the protection of the lives of rail-
road employees, but nothing has yet been
done. During the year ending juno 80, 1880,
500 brakemen were killed and 7,8A1 MANNED
while engaged in coupling cars. The total
number of railroad employees killed during
the year was ), l5l and the number injured
$500 This 10 q cruel and largely needless
sacrifice. The government is spending nearly
e1, O0, 600 annually to save the lives of ship
wrecked seamen; every steam vessel 10 riR-
idly inspected and required to adopt the
most approved safety appliances. All this il
good, but how shall We excuse the lack OF in
terest and effort in behalf OF this army OF
brave young men Who in our land commerce

tanued use of antiquated and dangerous ap-
planes. Law requiring of every railroad
engaged in interstate commerce the equip

breaks and couplers to b used, would very
soon and very greatly reduce the present
