The Well of Serpents.
Especial Corres,ondcncc.l

There is horseshoe shaped mountain up
i'll Manitoba which literally swarms with
snakes twice every year. In the early fall
these slippery customers gather here from
all directions. In one side the mountain
there is circular hole about Is feet deem
and ms smooth as if it had been fashioned
with well anger, where tens of thousands
of reptiles gather to spend the cold winter
months. Persons who have tried to explore
this immense snake den during the sum-
mer, when the regular tenants were absent,
cay that dozens of subtcrranean passages
lead out under the mountain in all dircc-
tions from the bottom of the we'll Captain
Silvers, Royal Engineers, estimates that he
has seen as many as 100000 snakes of all
sizes knotted together and piled up in II
semitorpid state in this We'll of Serpents,"
as it is called in the northwest.

from Washington yesterday and in a
conversation with q reporter for THE

that the sketch plans for tho new
building were completed and the Gov
eminent architects were working on
the building plans with all the rapidity
possible considering the size OF the
force of draughtsmen. Mr.. Miller is
satisfied that every thing will be ready
for the ground to be broken by June / !.
The appropriation for the structure

ON TO WASHINGTON.
Gen. Booth of the Salvation Army
Has Started for This City.


Gen. Booth, having finished his work in
New York city and it's vicinity, has turned
his face toward Washington, and is now in
Philadelphia on his way here. Monday
morning Gen. Booth and his staff officers
will leave Philadelphia for Washington, ar
irving here about . o'clock in the afternoon
They will be welcomed at the station by
representatives of the Auxiliary League, In
GLIDING some prominent clergymen, and also
by the salvation Army officers of Washing
ton and the surrounding states. The Rev.
DR.. Newman, pastor of the First Congrega-
tional Church, will probably welcome Gen.
Booth in an informal address on behalf OF
the Auxiliary League. The general Will re-
spond; the salvationists will give him
more demonstrative greeting; the National
Staff Band will play some army music, and
then the general will be driven to the resi-
dence Of Secretary Woodward of the Aux
Hilary League, where he will be entertained
during his visit here, and the other staff
officers will be taken to the homes where
they are to be entertained. Gen. Booth VIII
probable arrange, later in the day, to meet
the clergy of the city, while the other army
officers headed by the National Staff Band,
will give Washington the unusual spectacle
of a fine Salvation Army procession.
In the evening the savatiOnists Will escort
Gen. Booth to Convention Hall, arriving
there probably about 1880, so that all the
final arrangements can be completed, in
order that the meeting may begin promptly
at O'Clock. After O'Clock no seats will
be reserved, but it is expected that every
seat in the house will be taken and filled
before that hour. Gen. Booth particularly
desires that everybody shall be seated be-
fore clock, so that the meeting may not
be interrupted by people coming late. Those
who expect to go would do well to avoid the
rush at the last moment by getting their re-
served seats at Drops for only % cents
before Monday. Many inquiries have come
TO members of the Auxiliary League as to
what the program of the meeting will be,
but these cannot be answered, except by
saying that one of the delightful things
atout Salvation Army meetings is that there
is no cut and dried program. Mr.. Justice
Strong of the Supreme Court, retired, will
introduce Gen. Booth, and Gen. Booth will
sLeak on the Darkest England" scheme
end other work of the Salvation Army, but
what other officers will speak or sing, or
what music the National STAFF Band will
play, no one can tell In advance. Gen. Booth
will make the meeting intensely interesting,
as he does all his meetings. and he will be
ably supported by his officers. Washington
has never seen anything just like II, and
perhaps never will again. for in all proba-
bility Gen. Booth will never return to this
country.
