coma to the summit of Mount Rainier
and return.
The first attempt TO climb the noun
tain was made by DR. William Frazer
Tolmie, Hudson Bay company sur
geon, in 1888. He reached Tolmie peak,
by way of Crater lake, on the northwest
slope. Lient. A. V. Kantz reached the
South peak in 1857; F. K. Van Trump
and Hazard Stevens reached the Dome
or Crater peak in August, 1870, and at
the close of 1892 thirty-eight climbers
were known to have reached the sum-
NIT.
One woman, Miss Fay Fuller, reached
the Dome in August, 1890.
The mountain was named for Rear
Admiral Rainier, one of the British
lords of the admiralty, it having
been discovered by Vancouver in 1892.
Gen. Fremont saw it smoking in 1S42
and referred to it as Regnier, believing
it had been named after Lieut.. Regnier,
of Marchand's expedition.
Prof F. C. Plummer, Tacoma scien-
fist who made a special study of earth
quake phenomena in the northwest,
states that old Hiaton, the oldest In
dian in Puyallup reservation, said,
through an interpreter, before the Ia
coma academy of science on Feb
ruary 6, 1898, that he had mauy times
seen fire and smoke coming out of
Mount Tacoma. Gen. John c. FIRE.
mont reported on November 10,
1s43, that Mount Tacoma was in erup-
ton.
According to Prof. Holden, of the
Lick observatory, violent eruption of
the mountain occurred November 10,
1872. In May, 1880, volumes of smoke
were observed issuing from the crater.
On June II, 1884, jets of steam were OBJ
served shooting upward from the
mountain.

REDMOND DEFEATED.
His Home Rule Amendment is
Knocked out by a Close
Vote 236 to 256.

LONDON, Feb. l2.-In the House
yesterday Mr.. Redmond, in the
course Of a speech, said that the
liberals during the last three years
had made a gradual change Of po-
licy; they had kept Home Rule as
the first item on the Newcastle
programme but they went steadily
on with the projects quietly shelv-
ing Ireland. With the retirement
OF Mr.. Gladstone, Ireland had been
in miserable position, so great
that Home Rule was indefinitely
postponed. Lord Roseberry's re-
cent speech at Bradford showed
that the next election would be
fought out on the question Of the
House Of Lords, and if that policy
was persisted in it meant the end
OF Home Rule. This was a COM
plete reversal of the policy an
nounced and he called upon the
government to fulfill its pledges to
the Parnellites and other Irish
members, dissolve parliament
and submit the question
Of Home Rule or Ireland
to the electorate of the kingdo n I.
John Morley replying to Mr.. Red
mond, denied that Lord Roseber-
ry had given up Home rule, and
said that no more mischievous
blow was ever struck against
Home Rule than Mr.. Redmond's
amendment. The fact that he
moved such an amendment was
sad blow to the Irish cause. Mr..
Redmond had committed himself
to the most absurd political para
dox. He was trying, in the name
OF Home Rule, by an alliance with
a party which asserted that Home
Rule menaced the constitution, to
eject a government which had
passed the Home Rule bill in the
House of Commons.
Mr.. Balfour said he would vote
for the amendment for dissolution
was what he wanted. He was con-
fident that the government also
wanted dissolution. The amend
ment was rejected 236 to 256.

TaIIest Man i'm the World.

According to Berlin papers, the tall
est man in the world at the present
time is now to be seen in the Passage
Panopticum in that city. He is the
Arabian Hassan Ali, who has grown to
the enormous height of feet inches,
although he is only 10 years old. 1t Is
believed that he will continue to grow
for several years. Hassan Ali was
born near the Sinah Ammons oasis, in
Egypt. He has the Arabian cast of
features but does not possess the usual
grace, it is needless to say, of his peo-
pie. Before him, the same papers say,
the tallest man was the Chinese giant,
Shang Yu Sing, but even when "a years
old he was half foot or more shorter.

THE LATE CONGRESS.

The Fify-third Congress came
to an end on March 4, at high
noon, by virtue Of the expiration
Of the two years term for which
its members were elected; and its
exit was the occasion of judgments
as severe and unqualified as were
ever pronounced upon any of its
predecessors, SO far as our own
reccollection or Our knowledge Of
history enables us to make COM
parison. The Outlook, which GER
tainly cannot be accused of reveal
ing undue Republican sympathies
masked behind its garb Of non
craftsmanship, sums up its opinion
Of the retiring Congress in the
following comprehensive para
graph:
Congress has adjourned. 1t
has lived without achievement, it
dies without honor. It was elected
by an overwhelming majority. At
the end of its career it was defeat
ed by a majority not less signifi-
cant. The moral is plain and easy
to be read. The American people
has little patience with a party
which does not know its own
mind, has no definite purpose, and
lacks even the capacity to follow
its leader. Mr.. Cleveland, as the
leader of the Democratic party,
had definite convictions On the
tariff question and on the financial
question. The Congress which
Mr.. Cleveland's popularity helped
to bring into power was without
definite purpose on either of these
questions. 1t had no leaders
whose counsel it was willing to
follow 1t had not even the polltl-
cal sagacity to get together in a
caucus and by a majority vote
determine on policy and carry it
out consistently. 1t undertook to
reform the tariff, and we get, in
lieu of a protective tariff founded
on principle, another protective
tariff founded on personal, politi-
cal and local interests. It under
took to deal with the financial
question, but it did not know
whether it wanted notes issued by
state banks, national banks, Or the
Government, nor whether it wanted
gold monometallism, national bi-
metallism, or gold monometallism
until international bimetallism
could be accomplished. We hope
that its successor will have some
policy on these two great questions,
and will pursue that policy with
some consistency of purpose. In
nation, as in an individual, the
worst of all plumbers is vacillation.
Any decision is better than in
decision.

LEGISLATION.
MADISON, April s.


Although the legislature did not
get to work until Wednesday morn
ing Of last week, owing to election,
the journals of the two houses are
showing some lists of bills attended
to which are gratifyingly long. The
legislators did not want to forego
the pleasure of voting, each under
his own vine and fig tree, and at the
same time did not want to miss the
opportunity of looking after their
own interests in regard to any local
Offices for which they might aspire
For even seat in the legislature
seems not to take away the desire
for the honor of being the respected
alderman or something of the kind,
in ones own ward at home.
With the legislators all gone, and
nearly all the Offices closed under
the impression that the day was a
holiday, about the most noticeable
feature about the state house was
the keep off the grass" signs
which Col. Morley has recently
erected to warn thoughtless tres
passers. The treasurer and insu-
rance commissioner were on hand,
however, to attend to all customers,
and the executive office was open
for the transaction of business,
even though the governor was vot-
ing up at Marshfeld.

Assembly Hall has business
head, which, coupled with his love
of justice and purity in govern
mental affairs ought to win for him
further political honors. 1t came
to light the other day why it was
that he "staved off" action on the
railroad bills until after the cleo
ton; he wanted to get an express
sion from the people upon the
question-and he got it. Just be-
fore election he sent out circulars
to every town clerk in the state
asking that at some stage of the
town meeting the voters take &C
ton on the anti-pass question.
Blank forms, containing a protest
against the pass system, were in
closed. Nearly all the town clerks
complied with his request, and the
returns that came in were enor-
nous. Apparently the people are
almost unanimous in their hatred
of the pass. And SO, although the
legislature said that this question
should not be submitted to the
people, they voted on it anyhow.
