The existence of volcanoes, geysers and
hot springs irregularly scattered over the
whole surface OF the globe and continually
ejecting molten rock, ashes mud, steam or
hot water is an obvious indication of some
very widespread source of heat within the
earth, but of the nature or origin of that
heat they give little positive information
The heat thus indicated has been sup
posed to be due to many causes, such as
the pressure and friction caused by con-
traction of the cooling crust, chemical
action at great depths beneath the surface,
isolated lakes of molten rock due to these
or to unknown causes. ol TO a molten inte-
rior, or at least general substratum of
molten matter between the crust and
possibly solid interior. The first two
causes are now generally admitted to be
inadequate, and our choice is practically
limited to one Of the latter.-Fortnightl

THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION.
Commissioner Will Remain to Combat
Princess Kaiulani's Claims.

WASHINGTON, Feb. M.-Messrs. Thurs
ton, Castle and Carter, mamhers Of the
special Hawaiian annexation committee,
have detei mined to remain in Washington
until tine senate disposes of the treaty OF
annexation now pending before it one way
or another. 1t had been their intention to
sail from San Francisco for Honolulu on
the Sd of March next, but within the past
few days they have changed their minds
The coming to the United States of the
Princess Kiaulina, in company with Mr.. t.
ii. Davies, who has been supervising her
education in England, is variously COM
mented upon. 1t is reported that Mr.
Davies, acting on behalf of the princess.
proposed to Minister Lincoln in London to
accept u protectorate on the part of the
United States for the princess, Queen
Liliuokalani's claims to the throne to be
ignored in case the proposition was nc
cepted.
1t is said that the action of Mr.. Davies
In bringing the princess to the United
States was taken against the counsel OF
her friends, both in this country and in
Honolulu, but Mr.. Davies communicating
upon the subject has expressed his opinion
that a visit to the United States by the
princess could not fail of resulting in
benefit to her cause.

MIToHELL's MONEY UP.
Corbett's Manager Thinks the English
man Will Meet "Psmpadour Jim"

NEW YORK, Feb. "a. Judging from
latest developments the Mitchell-Corbett
fight will take place. William A. Brady,
Corbett's manager, and Mitchell. accom-
panied by Squire" Abingdon, met at the
Gedney House late last night and had
conference. The result of this conference
was that both men agreed to the fight and
TO do away with all further dickering.
Mitchell has already deposited certified
check for $40 900 with well known sport
ing man, whose name both parties refuse
to make public, owing to the fact that if
his name was made known the police would
arrest him. This stakeholder is satisfac-
tory to both Brady and Mitchell. The
articles of agreement will most likely be
signed in private, and not at New Orleans
or in Canada.
Brady left on the midnight train for
Boston. Before going ho said that he
thought Mitchell was now sincere in his
desire to arrange a match.
