BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, April 30.-Another
vein of natural gas was pierced yesterday,
this time in Pine Hollow, almost in the
centre. Of this city, A packing house firm
was sinking a nine-inch tube well for
penetrated vein of porous gravel. Gas
rushed from this stratum al strong pres
sure and has continued to flow steadily
ever since. Attempts have been nude so
far in vain to place cap upon the tube,
The gas vein struck on Monday on the
Borter farm, six miles east of Blooming
ton, is still pouring forth gas at enormous
pressure. The tube in this well is four
inches in diameter. 1t is calculated that
tile output OF these two wells combined,
AT the pressure they now exhibit, would
fully supply the entire city with fuel.
Gas has been struck in all directions about
this city for many years, but except in
one instance no such flow as this has been
discovered

IoMa--A Gall for SignntMres.


DEs MONIES, Ia, May 1.-The nominal
ing convention of the Iowa farmers indie
pendent party will probably be held the
first week in June. The convention will
consist Of 10 delegates from each county in
the state or W delegates in all if every

for signatures and is being signed by meme
bers of all the farmers organizations.
The following circular letter accom-
panies the call. The period has at last
arrived when the friends Of industrial re-
form in Iowa should associate themselves
for independent political action. The
movement is demanded by patriotic citi-
aaus in every part Of the state without re-
gard to former political affiliations. We
think that an early state convention
should be called of representatives of the
National Farmers Alliance, Farmers AL
lance and Industrial Union, Farmers
Mutual Benefit Association, State Grange,
knights of Labor Trades Assembly,
United Mine Workers. All industrial or
CARNATIONS will be invited to participate,
not as representing organizations. hut as

Consul-genernl New Gives Her Away to
Jack Mason.
LONDON, May 2.--Jack Mason and
Marion. Manola were married in the
quietest manner possible yesterday by
license at the offices of the registrar for
the Bloomsbury district. Miss Manola
only reached England this week, and
the wedding tcci. place at the earliest
moment permitted by law.
The time for the ceremony had been
fixed for 10 o'clock, and the bridegroom,
accompanied by Arthur H. Forrest, ar
rived at the office punctually, but the
bride, who was escorted by United
States Consul-general New, was over 90
minutes late. The party were all
quietly dressed and appeared in high
good humor. The bride was given away
by Mr.. New, who signed the register
with Forrest as witnesses. Jack Mason
entered his age as 32, while Miss Manola
gave hers as 80, both giving the same
address as that of their previous resi-
dence in London. The wedding break
fast was served at the Cafe Royal, where
the health of the bride was proposed in
glowing language by the consul general
and responded to in feeling terms by the
bridegroom.
The happy pair then left for Bighton,
Jack Mason having night off tonight
at the st. James Theatre. His acting
in "The 1dler'' is one of the few dra-
matte successes of the present season.
Their future plans are indefinite, Mason
hoping to remain with George Alex
ander's stock company.

HAWAII FoR 4 r EPUBLIo.
The Life of Queen Liliuokaiani Said to
be In Danger--Popular Uprising at
HnnnIt.I,,


Honolulu.
San Francisco, April 2o.-The steam
ship lealandia arrived Yesterday from
Honolulu. Just before the vessel sailed
the statement was made by those on the
inside that II. A. p Carter, Hawaiian
minister at Washington, had rendered his
resignation to the Hawaiian government.
1t was also stated that the people were
clamoring for republic, and that the life
Of the queen was in danger.
There have been various causes assigned,
such as want of accord with the new party
now being formed by the queen, which is
largely native Hawaiian in its character,
and the probability Of disaffection and
consequent trouble by the wealthy foreign
element and planters, who object to paying
taxes for the support of the government,
which is practically in the hands of native
Hawaiians, who are VIGOROUSLY incom
petent and disposed to lavish expendi-
ture of government funds.
Minister Carter's sympathies are said to
favor the influential class of the foreigners
with whom King Kalakaua closely allied
himself, and through whose efforts the re-
ciprocity treaty was secured to the islands,
which has been the basis of all their pros
perity. 1t is very likely Carter wilt as
sumo the leadership of the liberal party,
which has in view the establishment of
republic on the islands.

Sensation Ensues,

A Washington special to the Philadel-
phia Record says A telegram went ont
from this city on Saturday that caused
CLEAN of satisfaction to spread over the

Mckee, who had been left in charge of the
government while the rest of the family
went swinging around the circle, had
donned pants. This was his first pair, and
of course created a mild sensation at the
White House. The promotion seems to
have been authorized by Lieutenant and
Mrs Parke, relatives Of Mrs. Harrison,
who have been left in charge of the do
nestle arrangements of the White House
during the Presidents absence. In the
eXuberance of his delight the favorite
grandson Of the President strutted all over
the building, calling upon everybody to
take notice Of his manly appearance.
All would have gone we'll had it not
been for the fact that the youngster met
the wife of a cabinet minister in the East
Parlor, who had several young ladies with
her. Young Mckee called out to the lady
in loud voice: do you wear pants? /
do There were bushes, slight scream,
and Baby Mckee was rushed off to the
