SEATTLE, December 9.--For the pur-
pose OF ascertaining the extent of the
disturbances that have taken place on
Mount Rainier during the past two
weeks the Post Intelligencer has decided
to fit out an exploration party to climb
the mountain. The party, which will
consist Of representative Of the paper
and four others, will be headed by Major
Il. s. Ingraham, the veteran mountain
climber Of this part Of the country. The
party will leave in few days, prepared
TO be gone two weeks or more, and will
scale the summit II possible. They will
be provided with Canadian snowshoes,
and each man will carry pack OF sixty
pounds, while the lifeline will be util-
lied to haul the sled carrying the pro-
visions, blankets, tent, two complete
camera outfits, etc. II the trip is sue
cessful, IL cannot but be Of great interest

The Pacific Insurance Union Holding
Stormy Sessions.

The Pacific Insurance Union Holding
Stormy Sessions.
San Francisco, December THE af-
fairs of the Pacific Insurance Union are
in a most critical condition, so critical
in fact that it would take very little to
bring about dissolution of that impor-
tant body. Some OF its members, ii is
charged, are not living up to the terms
of the compact, but are cutting rates and
doing other things which the union was
organized to prevent. Dissatisfied MEM
bers are also withdrawing from the
union. The latest to do so is Arthur E.
Magill, manager on this coast OF the
Home Insurance Company OF New York
and Phoenix of Hartford. His resigna-
ton has been rendered by him to the
union. Other designations, it is report
ed, are about to be sent in.
The union held two very imporsast
meetings to-day to consider what was
best to do in the circumstances. Pro-
ceedings were secret, but it is said that
they were stormy. Itwas plainly pointed
! out that unless members stood together
and made determined fight against the
deserters the union would be disrupted
1t was finally resolved that such a fight
should be made, and that union com
panies would stand together to the last
ditch. A dissolution would lead to many
cancellations of policies on which pre-
miums have not yet been paid. 1t IL
understood that about one-fourth OF thu
premiums on policies are allowed to re
main on credit, and should they not b
collected companies on this coast woulC
lose about $3,000,0O0.

LONDON, December 8.-The Standards
Paris correspondent says: 1t is rumored
in diplomatic quarters here that France
means to have a share, il the powers
seize territory, in the event of the dis
ruption OF China. 1t is supposed that
che covets Formosa, which Admiral
Gourcet blockaded in 1884, occupying
Kelung and the mines in the vicinity.
Anyhow, it is doubtful whether she will
allow Japan or any other power to seize
Formosa. 1t is understood here that the
Japanese have set their hearts upon sign
ing treaty of peace in Peking. The
Japanese Minister here stated recently
that Japan meant to have treaty ol
Peking as Europeans had treaty oi
Paris.

GERMAN PRISON FARE.
The Experience Of q Frenchman Who Was
Incarcerated For Spying.

u
Incarcerated For Spying.
A Frenchman named Klein, who has
just been released after undergoing a
long term of imprisonment in Germany
as spy, gives very uninviting descrip-
ton of life in German prisons. Klein
has just returned to Bar lie Due, where
his family reside. On Feb. II, 1887, he
was arrested at Strasburg, where he was
detained for five months awaiting his
trial. At the end of that time he was
taken to Leipsic, where he was tried,
found guilty and sentenced to six years
hard labor. Soon afterward he was re-
moved to a prison at Halle-on-Saale.
For four years, according to his story,
he was not allowed to see or speak to
any one, so that his reason seemed to be
impaired, and he was removed first to a
madhouse at Berlin, then to another at
Stephansfeld. He was finally liberated
on the 18th of December.
At the prison of Halle, Klein occupied
a cell about - cubic meters in size, with
one small window in it, and his bed was
a plank with maize straw mattress and
one blanket. His food consisted chiefly
of barley, peas and other grain, with
soup made of meat twice week and of
tallow the other five days. The allotted
daily task for each prisoner was 10 pairs
of stockings, and the penalty for not
completing them beating with a cane.
Klein earned 20 marks, or shillings, for
his six years work-London Letter.

Useless handbook.

She Went to Jail Rather Than Give Up a
Useless handbook.
Mrs. Bridget Sullivan, who was COM
mitted to the Ludlow street Jail by Sur
rogate Ransom for refusing to give up a
handbook which belongs to the estate Of
Michael Adams, would not see reporters.
Gust tell them that this little matter
needn't worry them," she told the keeper.
I'm all right"
''She seems to be very clipper" said
the keeper. ''She brought bundle Of
things with her from her home and
spends most of her time reading"
There is neither reason nor philosophy
in this matter, nothing but sheer stub
bornness. Mrs. Sullivan won't give up
the handbook, because she says that
Adams owed her some money. Her law
yer told her that the handbook would
not help her and advised her to give it
up, the surrogate advised her to give it
up, and the counsel for the estate begged
her to give it up, but-she-will-not-
give-it-up-if- he-dies-for-it. Be
fore she went to Jail Mrs. Sullivan said:
"Well, I'll stay there all winter if they
want me to. Then I won't have to cook
any meals or bother about housework."
Her husband called to see her, but did
not seem to be anxious that she should
come out.-New York Times.

London Streets.

The chief engineer of the London Gas
company has found that in some streets
the pavement of wood blocks laid on
concrete now forms a kind of arch capa-
BILE of supporting traffic, while in many
places the earth has settled away to such
an extent that man can crawl under
the pavement. This is made serious
matter by the fact that the space be-
tween the soil and the concrete proves to
be filled by mixture of gas from leaky
mains and air-a mixture very liable to
reach explosive proportions and to be &C.
cidentally ignited, when the street might
be blown into the air.-London Globe.
