Lycurgus Dalton Seeking His Old Place-The
Alliance and the Speakership.
Special 10 the IndianspoIls Journal
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Mr. Lycurgus
Dalton, of Bedford. who was for some years
Door-keeper of the House of Representa-
tives, and made himself quite popular, has
entered the field for reelection to that po-
sitIon. and it is believed that he has good
hopes of election. The announcement of
Mr. Dalton for the door-keepership is
taken as an indication that Mr.. Bynum
docs not intend to stay on the speakership
track, as it Is an invariable rule that no
State shall present more than one candi.
date in an election of this character.
The report from indianapolis that the
Alliance will nominate a candidate for the
speakership from their own number. and
stick closely to HIM, created q hutter of
excitement here, and, it is believed will
have an important bearing upon the situa-
tiOn. The Alliance members arc all free
coinage advocates. All the speakershlp
candidates are for free coinage except ills
who stands upon the Cleveland anti-silver
platform. OF course. Mills could not hope
to get any of the Alliance votes. on ac-
count of his anti-silver inclinatons. and
the friends of tho Texan believe that the
new turn of the Alliance members will
give their favorite strong lead. If, as
Jerry Simpson says. there are forty Alli-
aDcc members who will stand by their own
candidate. Mills has pretty sure thing of
the speakership. Que thing is conceded
Mr.. Cleveland must now elect Mills or fall
himself upon his outspoken utterances
against free silver and abandon his aspira-
tions for the presidential nomination, as
the defeat of Mills on account of his oppo-
sition to free silver would indicate a dan
gerous weakness on the part of Mr.. Cleve-
land.

CLOSE OF THE EPISCOPAL CONGRESS.
True Policy of Diocesan Missions and Personal
Religion the Last Topics Of the Session.

WASHINGTON, Nov 20.-The general sub
ject of discussion at the morning session Of
the Episcopal Congress was True Policy
of Diocesan Missions" In the absence of
Rev. Dr.. Atwill. of Kansas City. Rev.
Gustave A. Christensen. of New
York city, read the first essay of
the session. The subject was discussed
bya number of distinguished divines
Rev. S. GIBBONS. of Nova Scotia. a full
blooded Eskimo, spoke briefly. He believed
that the missionaries should be adaptable
men. men who can put up with plain ex-
pressions of opinion from the people with
whom he has to work. In proof of this
latter opinion he recounted mum Der of IN
teresting incidents OF his missionary work
among the Eskimo.
The final session of the congress vas held
this afternoon. the topic of debate being
Personal Relg gion." The hall was crowded;
in fact, standing-room was not obtainabie.
The first orator introduced was the Right
Rev. Whitaker. ID. D., of Philadelphia.
There is no personal religion. he said.
without emotion. One must feel the near
ness of God. else he could not have, the
true emotion. There can be no personal
religion without some knowledge of God.
No one can come into fellowship with God
without going into the services COM
manded. One may he regular In going to
church. may read the Bible and receive the
uOly anu uOI nave pcI5Oubl To-
ligion.
Rev. Parker Morgan next spoke. He said
the subject was one that might be distaste
full because people do not like to speak of
their personal affairs; but some of the most
distasteful things in life were the greatest
and grandest. He did not believe minis
ter in his sermons should go beyond his
own personal experience. There was a
great danger OF exaggeration. Personal re-
llgion meant that one should have faith In
the being and the supreme sanctifying in
dwelling power of the holy spirit of God.
We should believe that God has ordained
certain means of grace, and that when IL
is embraced person may possess personal
religion. Personal religion. he said. could
be divided into four classes; first, medita-
tion and prayer; second. reverent reading,
marking and 1nwardly digesting Gods
word; third. by careful waiting upon his
own ordained means OF grace, and last,
by securing his soul.
Rev. L. w. Baker. of Cincinnati, said
that personal religion must stand or fall on
morality. 1t was the very essence of
morality. There was great danger in sub
stltutlng the means for the end. The Rev.
Henry Motel. of New York city. was the
last speaker. At the conclusion of his adj
dress Bishop Dudley made a few remarks.
in which he said that in the Episcopal
Church there was room for all. lie thanked
the audience for their cordial support. and.
after the singing of q hymn, the congress
adjourned sine die.

AS SEEN FROM THE vERANDA OF THE

O'Clock P.M.-An immense conhagra-
ton is in progress. Dana Lake looms up
in all its glory and brightness. Moving
clouds OF white smoke and steam .illumed
by the light of the fire from the molten
mass, drift slowly away and heaven
ward. Now and then fountains of fire
shoot up from both Dana and the new
lake forming to the north of Halemau-
mau. In the darkness outside of the
glare of the burning lakes appear eight
lights, showing up like street lamps in
the distance; these are blow-holes.
10 O'Clock P. MA long ridge of fire
is flowing from Dana Lake. The new
lake is spouting magnifcently. Between
the new lake and Halemalmau there
appears to be a new outburst, as lava is
being thrown high into the air from that
point. Innumerable lights are showing
in front OF Halemaumau; the scene is
weird and indescribably grand. The
lights in front of Halemaumau have
merged into large leaping fountain OF
fiery lava.
