An American Inferno.

A correspondent of The Globe-Demo-
crat describes weird and wonderful
region he visited in the northwestern
part Of Mexico. On the dividing line
between the Mexican states of Sonora
and Lower California is tract 35 miles
long from east to west and 10 to 18 miles
in width from north to south, which the
Indians long since POLITICALLY named
'Bad Mems Hunting Grounds" II is
probably such a region of miniature vol
canoes as exists nowhere else on this
globe. It contains thousands of volcanic
mounds, ranging in size l'from a hem
coopto house of moderate dimensions,
and not o trace of life, animal or vegeta-
bic.
The district is 200 miles southwest of
Yuma, A. T., and is sreached byfollowing
the Rio Colorado to the dry bed of one
Of its tributaries, thence following this
dry bed to the volcanic pit. It is really
basin 200 to 300 feet below sea level,
and why it does not fill up with water,
either salt or fresh, is one of natures un-
explained mysteries. But the smells Of
these sheol vomiting moundsl In de-
scribing them the writer rises to the
height of the poetic. There are hot
springs, showers Of mud, water and ash
es, puffs of smoke, and such boiling,
seething and scenting that it makes the
beholder first dizzy, then sick. There is
lake Of some kind of demonish stew
that Is as black as ink. The prevailing
smell is that Of mixture Of burning sui
phur and blue lick water, added to the
odor Of q tar roofing pot. The writer
makes the statement on his honor as an
honest man that you can smell the basin
20 miles away.
At the basin itself. however, strangely
enough, scores Of springs Of delicious
sweet water sparkle alongside the volcan-
icspouting mouths. Some day undoubt-
edly this basin will become a famous re-
sort for travellers. AS to the effect of its
appearance on stranger, our poetic cor
respondent says, "After the feeling Of
awe wears off, the first impression is that
you are standing on the edge of hell"
What the impression is before the feel
ing Of awe wears off we are not told.

The execution Of the murderer John
L. Osmond at Sing Sing makes the ff-
teenth by electricity since the law di-
recting this mode of administering cap
ital punishment was passed. Nolaw was
ever more desperately opposed than this
one. Every method known to the legal
profession was tried to break 1t, but all
failed. Incorporation and excitement it
aroused at first have died away entirely,
and an execution by electricity in New
York now causes no more Of a stir than
q hanging does in any other state.

With the advent of the hot weather
comes the customary epidemic of sui
cides. This year there have been several
instances in which the impulse to self
destruction has led its victims to leap
from heights. Why people should be
more ready to kill themselves in summer
than during the cold and dreary days Of
winter is mystery to the student Of
mental unbalancement. 1t would be in
teresting to know if the proportion Of
suicides in hot countries is larger than
In those lands that are located in tenn
perate climes.

A writer in 'La Vie Contemporaries
has discovered that an old box in theluu-
Der room Of the Louvre museum instead
Of containing archives, as was supposed
by many, is full Of the relics of royal peis

states that there arc among them the

Of Charles v, the shinbones Of Charles
VI and Francis |, the vertebr@ Of Charles
VII and Charles TX, the ribs Of Philippe
10 Bel and Louis XII and the lower jaw-
bone Of Catherine de Medicis. The an-
thenticity Of these relics Is, no says,

WHOLESALE MURDER.

The Telegram thus speaks OF the ter
rible casualty at Washington
The mind shrinks in horror while
contemplating the CHASTITY scene IN
Washington today. A building used by
the government as storage for the war
department records collapses, burying
in its ruins hundreds of persons who
are the victims of somebody's criminal
carelessness. The city officials of Wash
ineton and the government officials are
equally to blame-the former for not
tearing the old building down long ago,
and the latter for occupying building
which had been condemned as unsafe
for habitation. And then to add more
criminality to their carelessness they
permitted an excavation to be made un-
der the building when it was known to
be in an unsound condition. One can
hardly realize that such careless methods
should prevail in any city governed by
Intelligent human beings. The persons
responsible for this disaster should be
prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
The old theater was made historical
from being the scene of Mr.. Lincoln's s
assassination. 1t has never been used
as a PLAYHOUSE since. For a long time
it remained unoccupied, and was finally
leased by the government and used as a
depository for the war records. Four
hundred clerks were employed in the
building, all of whom were carried down
to death or mutilation in today's catas-
trophe The indulgence of a sentiment
because it had been the scene of Mr..
Lincoln n's,assassinatlon was the excuse
for permitting the building to stand af-
ter it had been condemned by the local
authorities. But that was no excuse for
permitting it to be occupied.
The heart grows sick with reading the
details of this almost unparalleled
calamity. Four hundred men. repre-
sentatives of good families from all parts
of the union, employed in the govern
ment service, went to their work this
morning with light hearts, and never
dreaming of the terrible fate that was
awaiting them. Suddenly, and without
warning, the walls parted and the floors
gave way, hurling the occupants of the
building into pit of death. Itzwai
wholesale muader, and the murderer
should be made to pay the penalty.

The Salem papers, frightened at the

people can be deceived by a scape-goat
has gone by. The people of Salem made
the kick and must take their punish

back.-Glacier.

The Wool Market.

Messrs. Allen & Lewis say in regard
to the condition of the wool market:
ssThe market continues dull and de-
pressed. Buyers are hard to find, even
at extreme low prices. Sales have been
made here of Valley in small lots at IA
cents. Very little has been done in
Eastern. Values range between 8 cents
and IA cents
This is the opinion of Wadhams & Co.,
who say
"The market is not alone unsettled on
account of the tariff, but owing to the
stringency of the money market buyers
are not making any engagements
Banks are not willing to furnish the coin
to even the most responsible dealers,
and consequently the sheepraisers will
have to hold their wool for the present" I"
