THAT DONEGAL CONFERENCE.

| A Significant Gathering-silver Senator
| Opposed to Harrison Were There.
WASHINGTON. April es.-[SpectaL 1-Tbers
has been some whispering here for the pas
two days about a mysterious gathering o.
AnttHarrtson Senators, but up to to-day nc
one has leaked enough to give the corre
spondents tangible basis to work on.
In talk this morning, one OF the Senators,
who was at the conference, dropped enough
to show not only that there is something in
the story, but also that there is something
In the movement itself.
Not alone was the conference notable fol-
Its bearing on national politics; 1t was inter.
esting from q purely Pennsylvania stand.
point.
1t has been known that after the Repub.
lican Convention at Harrisburg Senator
Quay visited Senator Cameron Mt Donegal
and remained there for three days. but it Is
not known that for the first time in eight
years Senators Cameron and Quay and Mr..
c. L. Magee, Of PIttsburg, met in a friendly
and confidential way to discuss poll
tics and other things under the hospit-
able roof tree of the Senior Senator.
1t is understood that Senator Cameron
asked Mr. Magee during the convention to
como and SEQ him the following day on o
matter of mutual interest, and that Mr..
of the party until they all assembled In the
library.
Cameron and Magee had a talk by them
selves, during which Cameron urged Magee
to come into the Quay Senatorial column
and give up advocating an Allegheny
county candidate who was evidently not q
winner. Cameron argued that rs Magee and
Quay had been more or less in harmony on
State politics for some time, they should
act In the same spirit on the Senatorship
now that Quay has such a lead. Magee
plumply refused to agree to this, saying
that rs Allegheny county had candidate
and that candidate was still in the field, it
would be unfair to him and to tho Home
Rulers" as Magee called ~ them, for
him to enter into such an arrange
ment. He said that on State poll
tics he and Quay were friendly
enough, but he reserved the right to sup
port home candidate for Senator. Then
there was said to have been some talk about
George Miller's appointment. and it was
pretty we'll agreed that he should be con-
firmed when his name came up In the Sem
ate. Quay is understood to have agreed to
this and also to Magee's going on the Ma
tional Committee.
After this and other State political matters
had been talked over, some visitors began
to drop in from Washington. Among those
who came were Senators Perkins, Of Kansas:
Petrigrew, of South Dakota: Jones. Of
Nevada, and Powers, of Montana, all of
whom are looked upon as unfriendly to a
second term for Harrison. These gentlemen,
with Quay, Cameron and Magee, made up
very interesting gathering and one which Mr..
Harrison has heard of and has your corre-
spondent is told, been making inquiries

the form of transferring the corrupt off,

BIG VOLCANOES GRANDLY ACTIVE
Peaks in Lower California That Arc Belch
ing Forth Molten Lava.

YUMA, ARIz., April 2s.-Indians from Lower
California arrived here yesterday and report
that the volcanoes near Lake Suiluleee, close
to the Gulf Of California, are in active opera
tion. They say that on the 18th of April an
earthquake shock was felt. and almost i'm
mediately the volcanoes became quite
active. The greatest eruption occurred last
Thursday night.
The country for 90 miles around was iIlu-
minated by burning sulphur and molten
rock, thrown up hundreds of feet by the vol
canoes. while the noises of the exploding
gases soon spread CONSERVATION among the
Indians, who were down in that region on
hunting trip. This report confirms previous
accounts from the Lower California volcano
regions that whenever heavy earthquakes
occurred on the Pacific coast these volcanoes
became disturbed and their activity greatly
increased.

There has been no scarcity of advice given
