THE NEW WONDERLAND.
RECENT DISCOVERIES IN LOWER
CALIFORNIA.
Many Old Volcanoes Disappear and New
Ones Form-Changes in the Channels
of the Colorado River-What a Party
of Surveyors Saw.

YUMA, Ariz., Nov. 11.--A party which
has been engaged the past two months
surveying lands in Lower California, re-
turned yesterday. The party surveyed
Hardy's Colorado from its source to its
present mouth, and made several inter-
esting discoveries during the tour. They
report that the volcanic region showed
the severity of the recent earthquake
troubles. Fifteen of the most active vol
canoes in the west group are almost en-
tirely obliterated, the only sign of their
former location being lava-like holes al
most filled with sulphur water. The
east group of 800 volcanoes at lake
Jululu have daily eruptions, and to the
south group were added at least one
hundred large volcanoes during the Pc
RODS of earthquakes in July last. On
the south hill, where a year ago no
evidence of volcano existed, the grand
est one in Lower California is now in
active operation. Its crater opening is
100 by 40 feet in extent. Lake Jululu,
formerly five miles long by half mile
wide, is now twenty-five miles long by
twelve to twenty five miles in width,
and with an average depth OF twelve to
twenty-five feet. Its waters, formerly
salt, are now fresh, owing to- the over
flow of the Colorado. On the homeward
journey the party discovered a new
water way parallel to the Colorado, lead
ing into the unexplored country between
the Colorado mesa divide which sep
arates the Carter river from the New
river. The newly discovered water way
was found to be an inlet OF the Colorado,
entering fifteen miles below Yuma.

BosToN, Nov. IL. - The worlds
Woman's Christian Temperance union
held its first meeting in Jones hall to-
day. The hall was decorated with the
flags OF different nations. The monster
petition asking for the prohibition of
the opium trade and the liquor traffic
was festooned around the hall, and great
rolls OF it lay on the platform.
Miss Frances E. Willard opened the
meeting, and placed it in charge of Lady
Somerset. The latter led in prayer,
after which she spoke briefly of the
cause. American women, she said, have
led the van in the formation of the
worlds w. G. 7. u, and it is to the
lasting shame of England that she has
carried intemperance into her Indian
colonies, and fostered the opium traffic.
The report of the executive committee,
embodying the constitution and by
laws, was accepted and declaration OF
principles, which has the following for
a preamble, was also adopted:
'In the love of God and humanity,
we, representing the Christian women
OF the world, bond ourselves together
with the solemn conviction that our
united faith and works, with Gods
blessing, will prove helpful in creating a
strong public sentiment in favor of per-
sonal purity of life, including total abb
stinence from the use of all narcotic
posons; the protection of the home by
outlawing the traffic in alcoholic liquors,
opium, tobacco and impurity; the sup
preston by law of gambling and Sun
day dissertation reimbursement of
the women of all nations, and
the establishment of courts Of
national and international ar
bitration, which shall Danish war
from the world
The declaration is in the nature OF a
pledge, binding the members to work
for the purposes of the union, and ask
ing all others to make common cause
against liquor and narcotics. A plan OF
worlds work, including provision for
half dozen Christian temperance mis-
sionaries in foreign lands, was approved,
and provision made for the collection
of one-half cent per snnum tax on
members of the union throughout the
world, for the maintenance OF the work.
Mrs. Tel Como, Japanese lawyer,
and president of the Japanese w. @. T..

Both resolutions were unanimously
adopted by rising vote.
Mrs. Mary Clement Levitt was made

Congressman Heard of Missouri deliy-
cred an address on railway transporta-
ton. This is subject, he declared, of
supreme Importance to the farmer. One
of the solutions of this vexed question
he said, was found in the state railway
commission. Another method of con-
trolling railroad corporations in the
interest of the people was through a
national railway commission. Some
protested to believe that the railroads
should be placed under government
management. Government railroading
Heard believed to be gigantic failure.
In the first place the government would
have to buy the railroads, and that
would cost 81 900, 100000. That will be
an impossibility, practically, because
