NATIONAL SILVER ooNvENrloN.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-In re.
sponse to a call issued April a,lso9,
by the national silver committee, for
the national convention of all who
earnestly favor the immediate resto-
ration of free bi-metalic coinage in
the United States, about 200 dele
gates bad assembled at noon today
in Concordia hall, and were called to
order by General A. Warner, chair
man of the national committee. In
taking the chair, General Warner
stated the objects sought to be OBJ
tanned by calling together the silver
men of the country. M. M. Parker,
president of the Washington board
of trade delivered the address of
welcome. On motion of b. Clark
Wheeler, Of Colorado, Judge Isaac
B. Morris, of Indiana, was elected
temporary chairman of the conven-
ton. Lee Crandall, of Washington;
Henry Jones, of Georgia, and E. P.
Stark, of Ohio, were elected secreta-
ries. Judge Morris spoke at some
length upon the general subject of
silver. The only proper question for
the United States to agree to con-
slider in the international monetary
conference, the speaker thought, was
the question of a worlds legal ratio.

MOUNTAIN ON FIRE.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 26.-The
fire which started yesterday contin-
ues to rage in the tunnel through the
Coosa mountains on the Columbus d
Western road, some 90 miles from
here. An engine was sent from here
and did good work until the roof
commenced falling, when it was con-
sidered dangerous to enter the tun-
mel. 1t is over half mile long and
is timbered except 800 feet about
midway of the tunnel. There is a
large vein of coal through which the
tunnel passes, which is thought to
be burning. A force of men was put
to work on each side of the noun
tain closing up the tunnel, hoping to
smother the flames. 1t Is reported
that one man was caught by the fall
ing timbers and killed.

How ONE cEuB:E SUPPORTS ITSELF
WITH RS BUILDING.

Yesterday the hopes of the Uni
versalists in Joliet, Illinois, were re-
allied. Their new church was dedi-
Gated. The society owned fine
building up to 1890, when it was
decided that the half block it occu-
pied was too valuable for one build
ing. So the structure was torn down
and the present one erected. 1t is
built of stone, auditorium form,
three stories high, with seven stores
on the first floor and offices on the
second story. So far the rentals
amount to $4,000 yearly. The block
is the most valuable corner in the
city. The church is in the middle
of the building, occupying from the
ground floor to the roof, and making
a lofty room with seating capacity
of 1000. One of the features is a
gallery running around the entire
room. The Sunday school room and
parlors are connected with the church
room by sliding partitions. The
woodwork is heavy oak, the chancel
being the finest in the city, with one
of the largest organs. The building
and the ground upon which it stands
pays taxes upon 100000 valuation. -

Harrison on the Battlefield.

It was almost the middle of MAY,
1864, before Colonel Harrison had an
opportunity to participate in one of
those great battles which have become
historic. Resaca was the field upon
which he made for himself reputation
for GOODNESS and personal valor which
none can assail. He led on foot the
charge of his brigade upon formidable
redoubt. Away in advance of the five
regiments he ran across the valley
which to so many was the valley of
death, and still in the lead he climbed
the hill on which scores fell to rise no
more.
Colonel Harrison was among the first
to cross the parapet. It has been said
he was the very first. A hand to hand
combat ensued, the gunners defending
themselves with their hammers and the
assailants attacking with their dubbed
muskets; officers exchanged pistol shots.
It was in fact one of the rare instances
of a genuine bayonet charge without a
shot fired except by the defenders of the
redoubt. The air rang with victorious
cheers, and for awhile the inclosure was
a scene of frantic JOY. The colors had
all been borne inside, and to both friend
and enemy in the distance they an
nounced that the height was gained

General Sickles still ''has It IN" Tor
Mr.. Cleveland. Addressing his old COM
rsdes Of the gallant Third corps In
Washington he defended the pensioo
system, which recognizes in . practical
way the services which the soldiers Of
the Union armies had rendered their
country in its hour Of peril. But he said
more, and these are some Of his words:
"You are going home now, and there
is something l want you to take home
with you. Ponder it: teach it to your
children; tell it to your neighbors. It is
this truth: That the people of the United
States will see that no man is ever
elected to an Office Of profit and trust in
this country who opposes the payment
of pensions to the soldiers Of the Union. !"
That was a saber thrust at Mr.. Cleve-
land, who was never SO merry as when
hunting for half reason to veto a
widows pension. The report continues:
"The general leaned on his clutches
as he spoke these words, and the sharp,
lOlOudUlC, IucICllcSS ocutcuCc, Clcdu CUT
as a paragraph of constitutional law,
cut through the air like the slash of a
cavalry saber. He rammed the words
home hard, as Captain Bigelow did the
last charge of the Massachusetts, battery
of the Third corps, and the effect was as
instantaneous as when Captain Bigelow
pulled the lockstring. In moment
what was left of the old Third corps
spoke with its old charging ring its
opinion of the man whose only joke was
cut at the expense of disabled veterans.
Three cheers for the man who made
that Speech cried Comrade General
Carr, springing to his feet, and again
the charging cry of the old Third corps
rang out into the night of Grand Army
place and rolled up to the White House"
General Sickles was evidently right
when he waved his crutch in the Chi
cago convention and declared that
Grover Cleveland would never receive
the votes of the men who fought to pre-
serve the Union.

Pertinent QUERIES.

Some Knotty Questions for Democrats
to Answer.
If foreigners do not pay the duties.
why should they remove their factories
to the United States?
If the United States is not producing
tin plate in commercial quantities, why
are sixty Welsh tin plate works idle?
If the Mckinley wool duties did not
protect American wool prices, why has
the price Of wool fallen in the London
market over 81 per cent. since January.
1890, while in the same time the fall in
the price of American wool has been
only7 per cent?
Why should Democratic Labor Com
missioner Peck's report, showing how
the Mckinley law has increased wages
and given life to industry, cause such
great sorrow in the free trade camp?
If the tariff has caused strikes, why
were there 1,740 fewer strikes in New
York state in 1891 than there were in
1890?
Is the example of Grover Cleveland,
who Immediately before his first nomi.
nation for the presidency confessed that
he ''didn't know thing about the tariff"
and who wrote his tariff message at the
dictation Of southern free traders, a
better one for Democrats to follow than
that of JeffersoA, Madison, jackson.
Benton and Randall!
With cost of living lower and farm
prices higher than two years ago, as ad.
mitted by Democratic Senators Carlisle
and Harris, would not the farmer be
foolish indeed were he to vote against
protection, the farmers policy?
Are the free traders who attempted to
nullify the constitution in 1882 and re-
belled against it in 1861 better judges Of
its provisions than the protectionists
who fought and bled for it during five
long years of war?-American Econo-

After the bill had been passed in the
house President Harrison, seeing that
no action had been taken on that subject,
sent a message to congress calling at-
tention to the subject and suggesting
the desirability and propriety Of reason
able aid for proper entertainment of
the men who saved the nation.
The senate appropriations committee,
acting upon the presidents suggestion.
reported an amendment giving s1OO. coo
for this purpose. Senator Cockrell i'm
mediately moved that the amount be
paid exclusively from the revenues of
the District of Columbia This was
voted down, the motion, however. re-
ceiving II votes, of which 16 were cast
by Democrats and Farmers Alliance
misunderstanding all Of them from the
south. When the bill went into confer
ence, however, the house conferees in
sisted upon placing the Cockren amend.
ment upon the bill and on also cutting
down the appropriation to 975, 900. This
was combated by the senate conferees,
and the bill was hung up in conference
for weeks.
The house conferees, with the weigh,
Of the three-quarters Democratic house
behind them, were able to carry through
their proposition, and the senate con-
ferees were obliged to yield and permit
the entire burden to be placed on the
district. The Republicans in both houses
spoke and voted almost solidly against
the proposition to place the entire bur-
den on the district, saying frankly that
the people of the nation would not only
willingly bear share Of the expenses,
but esteem it a favor to be permitted to
do so. The only result of their efforts,
however, was to get the total appropria-
ton finally fixed at $4,000 instead Of
$75,0 900. as urged by the house conferees.

HAWAII'S WONDER.
Present Condition of the Vol
canO of Kilauea.

1t is a year and six months since
the last disappearance of the mol
ten lava in the crater Of Kilauea.
At that time, for about a month,
there was no sign of activity; then
the fire re-appeared at the bottom
of the huge pit, estimated to be
five hundred feet deep. The molten
lava has since then sic Iy risen,
until it is now within about 240
feet from the top; the pit being
tunnel shaped, a longer time will
probably be required to fill up the
upper half area than the smaller
lower half, unless the amount of
volcanic force should be greatly in
creased.
The most outstanding feature in
the present condition of Kilauea, is
the fact that the nearly circular
lake in the middle of the inner pit
or crater, is lifted some thirty feet
above the floor which surrounds it;
the fiery liquid being held in its
place by an embankment of cooled
lava, which has gradually formed
as the lake has risen and over
flowed
From the brink, 24O feet above,
the spectator looks down upon this
"Witches' Cauldron," boiling, and
ever and anon throwing up its
fiery fountains, dashing over its
embankment, now here and now
there.
So high up the liquid fire now is
that by taking three mile ride on
wheels from the Volcano House,
point can be reached from which
the lake and its fountains can be
seen, without taking the fatiguing
journey into the crater.
There is no other volcanic center
in the world at which, as at Kill
auea, molten lava is continuously,
easily and safely accessible, and
this fact, along with the comforts
of the present Volcano House and
the inauguration of 1000 feet eleva-
ton, imparts to the Hawaiian Vol
cano attractions unparalleled else
where. Z. P. BAKER.

THE AUSTRALIA.
The PASSENGERS and their Bag
GAGE are DiSinfecfed.

The steamship Australia having
undergone the quarantine accord
ing to the regulations of the
Health Board was allowed
to enter the harbor on Sat-
urday morning and anchored in
naval row.
The passengers were taken at
once to the quarantine station to
undergo a rigid disinfection and
afterwards allowed to come on
shore.
The baggage was steamed With
chemicals until there was little
chance Of a cholera germ or any
other microbe having a chance for
life, and then sent to the wharf for
delivery. Each passenger was
compelled to battle in water in
which a few drops of a disinfecting
fluid had been dropped, and after
putting on apparel which had been
steamed, were permitted to go.
All this took a great deal of time
and it was after 3 o'clock before
the quarantine victims commenced
to arrive on shore, all glad of being
alive.
The Band Boys lowered around
the dock all day, anxiously await
ing the advent of the Bishop,
whom they were to escort to the
church, which event did not take
place until after 3 o'clock.
The officers and the crew of the
vessel went through the same pro-
cedure as the passengers, and after
the holds of the steamer were filled
with the fumes of some powerful
disinfectant, she came alongside OF
the Oceanic dock.
Although the ten days of quar-
antine were up at 2 o'clock on Sat
urday, the officers Of the Australia
were not allowed to come ashore
on Saturday night, for what reason
nobody knows.
