Mount Tacoma Changed.

SAN FRANcIsco, Nov. 2l.-Great excite
ment has been caused throughout the Puget
sound country by what is looked upon by
many as an eruption of Mount Tacoma, or
Rainier, IA, 444 feet high.
The mountain has lately been strangely
transformed. The crest of the great monarch
of the Cascades has changed, the cone having
fallen in, and steam can be seen rising from
the crater.
There is no eruption, it is believed by those
most competent to judge, but great masses of
rock seem TO have fallen. The snow-capped
cone has disappeared and sharp-pointed
peak has risen in its place TO the east of the
crater.
The changed appearance Of the mountain
is evident from the streets Of Seattle, ninety
miles distant, and thousands of people have
watched the mountain ALI afternoon.
Very few persons have ever assembled the
mountain and at this season of the year the
ascension is an absolute impossibility. There
is no way of making a thorough investigation
of the phenomenon.

The extension of the benefits of the Civil
Service laws to postal clerks on board ocean
steamers clears the way for a system of trans
fers with the Railway Mail Service, by which
the sea clerks may go back to land duty, and
clerks employed on trains be assigned to the
ocean steamers The sea clerks are given all
their meals free during the ocean journey and
have holiday while their vessel is in port,
and, in addition to these advantages, they have
chance to see something of the world.

OPENING OF THE NATIONAL

Six Thousand Strangers Are In DEN

DeleEates-Des Moines Will Secure
the Next Convention. ySsS

Denver, June s27.-Starding room was
1t premium in the spacious Broadway
theater when the Republican national
league convention assembled to-day.
Denver has not entertained so many Wis
itors since the knights Templar conclaye
two years ago. The number of strangers
in the city is estimated at 5000, Of which
about one-third are delegates.
The committee on resolutions, the mem
bers of which are appointed by the states,
held caucus to-day which developed a
strong majority in favor of frowning
down all issues such as free coinage Of
silver at 16 to and woman's suffrage.
Ihe committee, so far as it is made up,
and 1T is nearly complete, is considered
conservative, which means that it is
pre- etically reiterating the declarations of
the Minneapolis platform with possibly
stne good advice concerning the evils
of Populism. Nevertheless it is the in
tention of delegates from silver states to
make fight in the convention for del
egation in favor of free coinage. Judge
G. c. Goodwin of Salt Lake City is ex-
pected to lead the attack. The New
York delegation is puching Col E.. A.
McAlpine for the presidency, but the
Illinois delegation insists that President
w. w. Tracy shall have a second term.
At 10 o'clock the delegates began to as
|. semble. The Iowa delegation, headed by
the Iowa band, took Sc ats on the stage.
The theater had been handsomely dec
Grated. Flags and bunting hung from the
be ltt lies in graceful festoons. The rear
of the center of the stage was graced
with portraits of Lincoln and Grant,
between which was an immense repre-
sanitation of silver dollar Rev. DR..
Kerr B. Tupper, of the First Baptist
Chu1oh of Denver, was called upon to

The Nebraska Glee club sang brand
new campaign song with such effect that

W Tracy of Springfield, ILL.,, then de-
livered his annual address.
The committee on location decided to
recommend that the next convention be
held in Des Moines, Iowa. The final vote
was Des Moines, IS; Minneapolis, r.

Instead of taking them to jail they con-

Finally Bowan escaped into a rear room.
Pinkerton leaped from second story
window and ran. The angry crowd pur-

The Fight Against the Pullman Com~
IL3ElIatl DAnY BeRinA. laEHlSk.sE

Chicago. June q. The threatened
strike to enforce the boycott Of Pullman
cars was inaugurated at o'clock last
night when the American Railway union
ordered Ghe Illinois Central men out. The
! sM ltchmen We're the first to obey, and
quietly walked out, tying up the suburban
as we'll as express train service. The 8
o'clock train for st. Louis was allowed
to pull out as it was made up in the
morning, before the boycott went into
effect, but that train, the men asserted,
was the last that would be allowed to
leave until the Pullman strike is settled
The union men We're quiet and orderly,
but apparently determined to man to
maintain the boycott, The strike, it was
asserted by an A. r. u. official, will ex-
tend Immediately to FIVE other roads, the
Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City, Wis
consln Central, Northern Pacific, South
ern Pacific and the Santa Fe. Two Of
the trains on the Illinois Central which
were tied up at Grand Crossing, south Of
the city, were run out by Central en-
ploye who, under police protection, man
ipulated the necessary switches. A crowd
of about 1900 strikers and their friends
gathered about the station and an extra
detail of police was called to protect the
sWltchman. No attempt was made to
run suburban trains and hundreds of
suburbanites were compelled to resort to
street cars and cabs to reach their homes:
A largely attended meeting of railroad
men was held au which it was decided
by the switchmens', car inspectors and
brake mems unions to announce to their
employers that no more Pullman cars
will be handled until the boycott is de-
clared off. The Central strikers have
aErcrnced that they will not interfere
with mail trains, but will confne their
:tteItion to passenger and and freight
service. Michigan Central and Lake
Shore trains were allowed to pass Grand
Crossing, but none carried Pullman cars.

in st. Paul to-day. Div ision Superintend-
ent Rice. of the Pullman company, said
that he had encountered no trouble as
yet, but was simply awaiting the out
come. The Wisconsin Central train, the
first out with sleepers, went out on time
without opposition, from this end at least.
In Minneapolis several A. Il. U. men
endeavored to induce the engineer at the
head of the train to refuse to pull out
with the Pullman sleeper, but he would
