BLUSH PURPLE FIRE
Flowed From the Sulphur Noun
tain in Colorado.
A Tidal Wave. ono Hundred Feet High
sweeps Away Property While
Children Sufiocate In
the Impure Air.

Reports continue to come in from the
earthquake region, at the head of the
Gulf of California. Two Cocopah In
dams of the tribe that lived near there
arrived in Yuma, A. T., Saturday.
They tell thrilling story. Early
Thursday morning hundreds of mud
volcanoes, thirty miles off, burst into u
violent eruption. The air grew denser
and many infants were suffocated.
At last violent thunder storm clear
ed the air only to show the tidal
waves approaching with frightful ra-
pidity. The waters rose, swallowing up
their cattle, horses, grain-fields, and
driving them for their lives to the top
of the NIesas-a hundred feet high
above the river. The earthquake shocks
then began. The fourth threw every
one down, seriously injuring many. The
dust darl1ened the air. The rumble of
the earthquake, the sharp explosions
of the distant volcano, the believing of
the crazed cattle, made unbearable the
uproar, and the frightened Indians
broke and fled wildly up the river. Two
only succeeded in reaching Yuma, who
tell the story. The others dropped ex-
hausted along the route. Jose Perez, a
cattleman from Lendo, and fifty-fve
men witnessed the scene from
the top of the hill to which
they had escaped. They report the
tidal wave as fully one hundred feet
high, and also river of blush purple
fire, which was flowing down into the
Colorado near the gulf. This is un-
doubtedly from the Sulphur mountain,
which was set on fire by the volume OF
burning material thrown out by the
volcanoes. Much property was de-
stroyed. Residence and all valuable
| buildings on the ranch of Chas, Town
send, breeder of fine cattle, were lev
eled by the earthquake.

The Canadian when he crosses the
border in search of broader horizon
and competence has very little to un-
learn. Once he has passed through the
trying ordeal of unstrapping his trunks
for the inspection of the custom officers,
and has recovered his equanimity as he
rattles along into the heart OF Uncle.
Sans country, he is no longer in for
eign land. And the Canadians, English
and French are flocking into the states
at all points by thousands every year
The only really deep-rooted anti-Amer-
lean feeling in the country is the pecu-
liar monopoly of those eccentric
patriots who fought against their
ldth and kin in the revolutionary war,
and who, through the fortunes OF war,
We're compelled TO emigrate into what
was then the wilderness of Nova
Scotia. The anti-American sentiment
has absolutely no existence among the
masses There is, indeed tendency
to regard the states as veritdblc El
Dorado, where dollars are picked up in,
the streets. Walter blackburn Hartsr

FROM PERSIA.


The Shah Orders the Governor OF NInhAn-
deran to be Boiled Alive.
The shah having become much en-
ragged against Abdullah Khauh, the
governor of Mazanderan, has condemns
ed that ruler to the terrible death of
being boiled alive. The charge against
the unfortunate governor was that he
had embezzled taxes due to the shah's
treasury. The truth, it is alleged, is
that Abdullah had not embezzled any
more than he was in the habit OF
doing, but owing to poor harvests
and the poverty of the peasantry
he did not get the usual amount for the
shah. This greatly enraged the monarch,
who was much in need Of money, and he
| caused Abdullah to be seized and
brought to trial before the council of
state which unanimously found him
| guilty of embezzlement, and found him
worthy of death, leaving the sentence
to be passed by the shah. The latter,
with view of striking terror into
other thieving governors, ordered that
| Abdullah should be boiled alive,
but graciously decreed also that
the water should be boiling hot at the
time of the fatal dip, so as to finish him
as quickly as possible The sentence
is said to have been carried out The
severe punishment, it is supposed, will
be a lesson to other governors to be
more prompt with their payments. The
punishment of boiling alive has been
inflicted in Persia before, and Persians
claim that, under the above conditions,
life is destroyed Immediately, and there
| is no suffering.

WHEAT CORNERED.

The Kansas Farmers Alliance Makes Ar-
rangements to Store Three-Fourths of
IL.
j. B. French, secretary of the Kansas
Farmers alliance, says that the business
branch of the alliance has completed
arrangements by which it will handle
three-quarters of the Kansas wheat
crop of fifty million bushels. Ar
rangements have been made to store
at least half of the crop in the big
elevators in Kansas City, Chicago, st.
Louis, Cincinnati, Baltimore and other
large cities for an indefinite period, or
until the owners desire to sell Ar
rangements have been made in the
east to secure an advance on the wheat
stored of seventy five per cent. of the
present value of wheat. This new
movement by the alliance practically
corners the Kansas crop.

Sacred Garment.
The Catholic world is manifesting
marked interest regarding the exhibit
bition of the holy coat-said to be the
seamless coat worn by the Saviour
which is to take place in the old cathe-
dral of st. Peter and st. Helen in
Treves Protestants also manifest
much curiosity in the proposed
exhibition, and it is probable
that many thousands of people will
go to Treves from all quarters of the
globe. The railroads have completed
such arrangements as will enable them
to carry vast numbers, ana the general
preparations are on a scale commen-
surate with the Importance of the occa-
sion. Not many pilgrims have as yet
arrived, but as the ceremony of the ex-
position of the sacred garment does not
occur until August 90 this is in no way
remarkable. Those who have arrived,
however, are actively engaged in secur'
ing comfortable quarters.

Results of an Earthquake.

A report brought in by Cocopah In
dians states that the earthquake on the
30th ult resulted in changing the course
of the Colorado river. 1t left its old
bed, and now flows through crevasse
forty feet wide and thousand feet
long. The report is not generally be-
lieved, but one result of the recent
earthquake was the renewed activity OF
the volcanoes in the Cocopah region.
The earthquake also caused great
tidal wave at the head of the Gulf OF
California.

many Into War.
NJ. Lockroy, in an interview in Paris,
Wednesday, said he had no doubt that
the handsome reception of the French
fleet at Cronstadt, if not the visit itself,
was due to Englands support of the
dreibund. While France was isolated,
he said, there was strong tempt
alton for the masterful and caprici.
Gus German emperor to plunge Ger
many into war. The rapprochement
between France and Russia removed
that danger. France, however, had
mainly herself to blame; her obstinacy
in her policy in the Egyptian and New
foundland questions, throwing Eng
land into the arms of Germany and the
dreibund. After the initial mistakes
she ought to have accepted the situa-
tion in Egypt, and in regard to New
foundland she ought to have modified
the Utrecht treaty.
