or the Recent Eruption of the Great SANGER
IsIand-Great Loss of Life.

AMSTERDAM, July 21.-The HanseIsbad
publishes letters from Celebes giving de-
tails of the recent eruption of the great
SANGER island The eruption commenced
at p. m. unheraIded by the slightest warn
ing. Immense volumes Of flame and smoke
and masses of stone suddenly burst from
the volcano. Stones fell Rli over the island,
killing hundreds OF natives, who were busy
in the fields. Those who succeeded in
reaching supposed shelter at their homes
found no refuge in many cases,
having been crushed beneath Inc weight
of falling stones, and roofs having col
lapsed under the weight OF ashes and burn
ing the inmates, and in many instances
whole families. Streams OF lava flowed
with frightfai rapid!ty down the slopes Of
the mountains. IL is estimated that over a
thousand persons persisted in the slopes Of
the mountain and many hundreds more In
the lowlands but the exact loss OF life is
not yet known.
The island is now threatened with fam
inc, its acres having been destroyed. In
many parts of the island the wells have be-
come dry. The authorities are doing the
best they can to alleviate the distress.

her. She told OF her intended marriage to
F'reda and how she expected 10 raise

of her heretofore remarkable self-posses-
sion.
When Aliceu concluned, the defense sub
mitted the case without argument. Judge

QUESTION OF ENDURANCE.
The Worlds Fair Appropriation Causing Lots
Of Trouble in the House


WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The House ad
journed with the hlibustering movement
in full swing and no light ahead. The most
outspoken OF the flibusterers say plainly
they will see the sundry civil bill killed
before the appropriation for the Worlds
fair shall carry. Some Of the Republican
members are charging this part of the
policy OF the majority to permit the sundry
civil bill to fail unless the Senate backs
down on the Worlds fair appropriation for
the reason that it will enable a better
prima facie contrast to be made between
the appropriations of the first sessions Of
the Fifty-trst and Fifty-second Congress.
Most Of the members of the House are as
much interested In adjournment as in the
fair appropriation, and tomorrow an ad-
journment resolution may be brought in.
If passed it will be for the Senate to say
whether or not il will stay here as long as
the tlibusterers are willing TO stay and
make the question of the fair appropriation
matter OF endurance.
