Volcano and Earthquake.

SEATTLE, WASH, November 23.-Mount
Rainer is in a state of mild eruption, the
appearance of the summit is entirely changed
and another peak has appeared on it. Soon
after sunrise the sky and air being remark
ably csear, clouds of black smoke were curl
ing from the southwestern part of the peak,
where the crater is located, coming at inter
walls of about fifteen seconds. The dome
like top has disappeared and been replaced
by fiat top with a large crevasse extending
down the side. while in the center of its
stem a new peak has appeared on the north
ern side. The snow was all gone from the
summit as though melted off. Steam is also
seen mIngliug with the smoke, which rose
100 feet above the summit.
Several slight shocks of earthq uake were
felt here. Windows were ratified through
out the city. The first shock was most
severe, being accompanied by umbIing
noises as of a distant explosion and sim
ultaneously sheet of flames was observed
in the eastern heavens.
''Itl interesting to note, said Prof. Plum
mer. ''that several of the planets, including
the earth, are a present in line, fact which
bears out the theories of Prof. Alexsis Perry
and others that such conditions are favor
able to earthquakes and volcanic phenom-
cnon.

som signs for the Better.

New YORK, Novemb Der 26.-R. G. Dun a
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
There is some change for the better. The
gain is slow and in some directions not very
distinct, but more definite than last week.
The most mportant of them is the employ
ment of labor, answering a better demand
on the whole for manufactured products.
Much of this is due to the unnatural delay
of orders, which resulted from prolonged
uncertainty, but it means an actual increase
in earnings and purchasing power of the
millions, and SO gives promise of larger
demand IN the future. Price of farm pro-
ducts in the aggreg tie do not improve but
the prevailing hopefuIness is felt in some
what larger transactions.
The wheat market has lost this week the
cent it gained last week when receipts being
larger and Aclant1c exports are a so larger,
516,771 bushels gainst 703.026 last year. but
these are of small account com pared with
the great visible supp Y. Foreign reports
this week have been rather more promising,
though he fact remains that the worlds
crop outside the Tn ted States is probably
the largest ever grown.
Textile industries have added a few facto-
rles to the working list, ag inst only one or
two withdrawn, and there has been some
improvement in the demand for WOO lens
More supplementary orders for spring have
been received and cold weather has increased
the demand for heavy goods. Yet on the
whole, the market IS not active and the man.
ufdcture is much below the capacity OF the
works. S les of wool for the week increases
again, though still far behind asst year, and
for four weeks of November have en- 12,-
259,300 pounds. again-t 17.59O,521 last year.
Since August the sales have been II per cent
more than last year, but 80 per cent less
than in 1892.
The iron industry again records lower
prices for B, ssemer iron, 5000 a Plttsburg,
and for products. The consumpt is large
and for the season fairly well maintained
I11k IL Of
in opera ion, their struggle to get business
keeps prices at the bottom. 1t is reported
an American ship yard has secured orders
to build three armored cruisers for Russia
which will give added work for some years,
and that a contract for 10000 tons cast pipe
for Toxic will probably be secured by g
southern concern. Tin, copper and lead are
all weaker and some concessions are r..
ported in tin plate. The coke product
slightly decreases. but was about the largest
ever known for October.
The failures this week baye been 322 in the
United States against 385 last year, and 81
in Canada against 81 last year.

The King is Dead! Long Live the Kingi
The wedding day, November 26, of the
young czar with Princess Alix is thus de-
scri5ed
There was not an inch of space to spare
along the grand Morskaija prospect, and on
the square in front of the Winter palace.
At IL 10 a. m. in the distance was suddenly
heard the grand swelling strains of the ma
tional anthem and all along the route the
multitudes uncovered in anticipation of The
approach of the bridal parry.
Soon after there appeared an open state
carriage drawn by four white horses. In
this vehicle the czar and his brother,
Grand Duke Michael. They both wore the
uniform of huZz1rs of the guard and were
greeted with vUclferous burst of cheering
which was renewed again and again. The
czar's equppage was preceded and also fol-
lowed by detachmentS or chevallerS and
guards and huzzars and lancers of the guard,
all in brilliant gala uniforms. Then came
superb landau, in which was Prime IS Alix
and the czarina. They received. if possible,
even more h~arty popular greeting than
himself. Handkerchiefs and hats were
waved in the air and the most intense en-
thusiasm prevailed.
After the carriage of the princess and
czarina followed long train of carriages
with bridal guests including the prince and
princess of Wales, Princess Irene of Russia,
the Grand Duchess Sergius and other prom
inent mem bers of the imperial family, as
we'll as ali the wedding guests.
Military bands were stationed at various
points along the route between the two p IL
aces, and they each struck up the national
anthem as the cortege appeared. The ma
tional hymn thus sounded in the ears of
the imperial party along the entire route.
The wedding procession entered the Win
ter pa ace at L :15, where, soon as possible
afterwards. were assem- mbled all those who
had been invited to be present at the we'd
ding.
Along the prospects there was magnifi-
cent scene, thousands of cavalry and in
fantry Inning the roadways, and behind the
troops were the immovabe multitudes of
spectators, all waiting patiently for a view
of the procession its retnrn from the
Winter palace.
At l 80 p. IN. the guns from the fortress
announced that Car Nicho as II. was mar
ried to Princess AllX of HesSe- Darmstadt.
In honor of the cars wedding, 10000 poor
people of this city dIned at the expense
of the czar. All the schools were closed for
three days to give the children holiday
and enable them to celebrate the marriage.

The Dawes Com mission.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 26.-The
d ives commissioners are likely to remain
here through or we'll into the coming session
of congress, in order to further their plans for
legislation for the Indian and Oklahoma
territories.
The comm ission IS favorable to plan to
unite the people of Oklahoma and the In
dian Territory IN effort to secure legisla-
ton. The line upon which they suggest
legislation should be secured, makes the
west line of the Seminole nation. produced
north and south. the line between Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory, throwing the
Usage nation all in the Indian Territory.
This gives four fifths of the Chickasaw cnun.
try to Oklahoma. and gives part of Lin.
coin county and more than half of 90
county and all of the Usage nat on, now in
Oklahoma, to the Indian Territory. They
claim this would be giving Oklahoma 3.000.-
600 acres of good land for about 100000
acres of indifferent land. Their idea is that
Oklahoma should apply for statehood and be
admitted, and that the Indian country shou d
be given territorial form of government with
the exception that the United States should
pay the expenses and congress should exer-
else a more direct control of the laws passed
by It's l. tgislature than is now generally ex-
ercised by congress over the laws enacted in
other fPrritorios

Got a View of Tacoma

SEATTLE, WASH, November 24-Mount
Tacoma has been hid by clouds, but re-
porter equipped with a field glass ascended
the court house hill and for half an hour got
an unobstructed view of the mountain from
the dome of the court house building. 1t
appears that the dome-like c piping of the
mountain had fallen in or had been blown
out by the force of an explosion and all the
snow except a small amount on one corner
had disappeared. Steam was issuing from
the crater IN great quantities and ioated be-
hind the jagged peak and then rose up to
the ouds bove. The top of the mountain
mas changed materially and peaks and Gre
vases appear that have never been seen be-
fore.
The eruption of Mount Rainier has ex-
planned to the satisfaction of many a mys-
terry which baffied US. The waterworks
reservoir here suddenly became exhausted.
Investigation shovel a crevasse running
along the hill one foot 10 width and of un-
known depth. 1t ran directly through the
reservoir. letting the water out. 1t had been
traced several hundred feet along the hill.

Western Men at st. Louis.

At the first session of the Trans Mississippi
commercial congress there were many $50
lutions offered, which were referred to the
committee en- resolutions without debate.
The attendance at the first evening session,
at which irrigation was the set subject for
discussion. was rather light. At President
Whitmore's request, General L. Cannon, of
Utah, took the chair and introduced the sub
ject of discussion with brief interview of
his own experience in the past forty-seven
yearS with The growing of crops by artificial
overflow of 9th rwise desert lands.
The opening paper of the evening was
upon ''The Water Supply of the Rocky
Mountain Region and read by f. II. Neu-
ell, of the United States geological survey.
The paper was a general review of the sub
ject, presenting more especially the fact
that the area of iightest rainfall is coincident
with the lands still held in government own
ershp.
Hon. Elwood Mead. state engineer of
Wyoming, next read a paper upon "Recla-
nation of Arid Lands" discussing more
especially the lack of concert of action be-
tween the authorities in the control of the
water and those in control of the land.
Irrigation a Living National Issue was
the subject of a paper by Editor W. E.
Smythe, of the Irrigation Age.
