Destruction Threatened by an Active
Volcano.
Cordoba, State Of Vera Cruz, Mexi-
co, March 1.-THE peak of Orzaba, an
ancient valcano, is in a state of erup.
tion. The signs of disturbance began
to manifest themselves last Sunday
night week ago and have increased
in force constantly since that time. 1t
is now vomiting poisonous gases and
thick volumes of smoke are emitted
from 100 apertues in its great nav.
The earth for 100 miles around IL
shaken periodically with subterranean
vibrations. A great alarm exists
among the dwellers in the cities of Cor
doba, Kalapa and the dozens of small
the strange and interesting phenome-
non. The shocks as yet have not been
of serious nature and no damage
from them has been reported.
The rim of the crater glows like fire,
and the thick gases rolling down the
mountain sides have set aflame the
grass and vegetation clothing the sides
of the summit, which adds to the dens-
ity Of the smoke and the grandeur Of
the spectacle.
For the public safety the governor Of
the state of Vera Cruz will shortly
name q commission Of scientists to
make all the Investigation into the
eruption possible, and to make recon-
mendations looking to the protection Of
the Inhabitants of the neighborhood
villages. The present eruption is in
the heart of the best improved villages
in Mexico.

He Has Three Month to Live Before tho
Execution.
Minneapolis, Minn., March Hilary
T. Hayward, convicted of the murder
of Catherine Cling, has three months
to live. Sentence was passed on him
by Judge Smith this morning, after q
motion for an arrest of sentence by Mr..
Erwin had been denied.
Harry came into court In the same
leisurely calm manner that has charac-
terized his demeanor all through the
trial and surveyed the crowd coldly
while the handouts were being remov-
ed. Judge Smith agreed to examine
the grounds urged for new trial on
March 1S, and then passed sentence.
He said he had no doubt whatever
that the verdict was just and right
eous one, and while he did not believe
in capital punishment, it was his pain
full duty to pass sentence il accordance
with the law.
1.-THE sentence of this court, he con-
tinued, sis that you be taken to the
Hennepin county Jail and there con-
fined, until after a period of three
months time be fixed by the governor
of the state, you be taken to the place
of execution and hanged by the neck
until you are dead"
Harry listened calmly and sat down
without the slightest show of feeling.

Washington, March Tin the opinion
Of the postal officers the anti-lottery act
passed by Congress will have a far
reaching effect in the suppresinR Of lot
terry schemes in this country. Its pro-
visions are expected to effectually pre-
vent the conveyance Of lottery matter
between the states or Introduction here
from other countries by express compa-
MES or common carriers.
Through Limitation of Jurisdiction
the department has been requested to
transport lottery and fraudulent matter
and express money orders for invest
ment in these schemes, and yet be de-
prived Of the revenues of the postal
money orders 1t would otherwise have
issued.
Lottery companies have corresponded
with those interested under seal
through the mails and giving them in
sructions to use the express money or
ders. This defect will be eradicated by
the authority given in the act to the
postmaster-general to refuse to deliver
to persons who are found to be using
the mails to defraud any class Of mail
matter, and to return 1t to senders
marked fraudulent"

Minneapolis, March s.-The ruling
passion in Harry Hayward was strong
in the presence of death. He placed a
bet Of $40 this morning that the YER
dict would be an acquittal. and that
It would be reached inside Of two hours
by the jury.
Judge Smith stayed in the court room
an hour, and then, as no word came
from the jury room, went home to din
ner. The court was adjourned until
O'Clock. The verdict is awaited with
anxious suspense by the whole city,
and the newspaper offices are flooded
with telegraphic inquiries.
There is a firm belief among the
police and deputies on duty at the
criminal court room that in case Of a
mot guilty" verdict there will be riot
ing.
There is no way in which Hayward
can be taken from the room except
through the crowd, and many rumors
Of violence are heard.
The verdict Is being kept q secret
while the prisoner is being conducted
back to Jail. No one is allowed to
leave the court house. Immense
crowds are gathering.
A verdict was reached in the Hay
ward case and the Judge sent for short
" after o'clock.
The !ury's verdict is guilty as

DECIDE TO STRIKE.
Coal Miners and Owners Cannot Reacl
an Agreement.

Coal Miners and Owners Cannot Reach
an Agreement.
Pittsburg, Pa, March Gall nego-
tiations between miners and owners OF
the Pittsburg district have been de-
clared off and a strike involving from
1900 to 1900 men has been ordered.
The conference committee OF the
miners and owners failing to agree on
the 69-cent rate for mining, demanded
by the former, the operators proposed
q Joint convention of miners and oper-
ators, to be held in this city on Satur-
day. The proposition was reported to
the miners convention when it reas-
sembled this morning and was prompt
" rejected. A vote was then taken
and a strike was expected to take ef-
feet Immediately. The delegates will
return to their homes this evening and
meetings will be called at every pit,
when the strike will be announced and
plans for its prosecution will be formu-
lated.
The miners are hopeful Of winning
the strike for two principal reasons.
The first is that lake shipments of coal
are about to begin and that the de-
mand for fuel will force the operators
to pay the 69-cent rate.
The other reason is that never have
the miners Of this district been so thor
oughly organized before as now,
despite the hard winter of poverty and
suffering through which they have
passed. The strike to insure them VIC
tory must necessarily be short one,
as the treasury of the union mine work
ers is not in a condition to fight a pro-
longed battle.

Salt Lake, Utah, March 1.-THE city
is rejoicing over the final arrival of
natural gas, which has been piped form
the well fourteen miles distant. The
completion of the first connection was
celebrated by the illumination Of the
main streets with flambeaux turned on
at high pressure from the mains at the
Temple block. The supply Is brought
to the city by an English company and
will be connected with the mains Of
the local gas company, which has con-
tracted to supply a number of large
local manufacturers and city cOnsum-
ers at price low enough to displace
coal as fuel.
The wells already opened have an ag-
gregate output Of 2O,OOO,OOO feet per
day. The supply already available is
ample for the entire demand Of the
city for domestic light and heat with
a good surplus for manufacturing pur-
poses.
A formal celebration of the new en-
terprise is to be held in few days
under the auspices Of the Salt Lake
Chamber of Commerce.

Great Britain Putting Up Scheme to Pos
sess Them.
Seattle, Wash, March 1.-THE Cham
ber Of Commerce has appointed COM
mittee to investigate the question of the
boundary between Alaska mad British
Columbia, and to arouse public opinion
to the importance of maintaining Amer
lean rights in this matter. The Ques-
ton is to be considered by an interna-
tional commission this year and as a
preliminary step surveys have been
made by parties from both countries,
but the British show much more thor
oughness and activity in this matter
than the Americans, and in order to Sc
cure possession of the Yukon mines are
now preparing to build a road over the
Taku pass to the headwaters Of the Yu-
ko. The principal controversy hinges
on the Interpretation of the treaty To-
eating the boundary ten marine leagues
from the shore. England contends that
this line should not follow the inlets;
America that it should. If England's
contention prevails, Juneau and the
best harbors will be in her territory.
Hence the agitation here, where the
largest business with Alaska is done
and where the Alaskan steamers start.
All chambers of commerce on the caost
will be asked to cooperate.

PACIFIC LAND GRANTS.

No More Patents to BE Issued ths Roads.
Washington, March 9.-Secretary
Smith has determined no more patents
for land granted the subsidized rail-
roads shall be issued until there has
been a settlement Of the debt due the
government from these roads. An at
tempt was made to get resolution to
this effect through Congress, but 1t
failed. As soon as the resolution was
presented Commissioner Lamoreaux OF
the general land office Immediately sus-
pended all work upon the preparation
Of lists Of lands within the grants, ana
none were sent to the secretary Tor ap-
proval while the resolution was pend
ing. Afterwards when Congress ad-
jOurned the commissioner felt impelled
to go ahead with the patenting of lands
to the Union and Central Pacific roads,
but with the announcement of the sec
retary that he will not approve any fur
ther patents to these roads work will
again be suspended. Secretary Smith
will in a short time make an order to
that effect and give his reasons for
such action. He says that he thinks 1t
just that no more patents should be
granted when the roads owe the gov
ernment such large sums. 1t has been
stated that a suit for mandamus to
compel the secretary to continue issu-
ing patents will be brought by the rail-
roads. When this was suggested to
Secretary Smith to-day he said that 1t
would be time enough to begin work on
the patents when the courts granted
such mandamus. The lands affected
are within the grants to the Union and
Central Pacific between Omaha and
Sacramento. 1t is also thought the
lands within the grant to the Oregon &
California road will be affected, as it Is
operated as a part of the Central Pa
cif1c railroad system,

ANOTHER MINE DISASTER.
Eight Men Probably sunocated at White

Eight Men Probably suffocated at White
Oaks, New Mexico.
Socorro, N. NJ, March 1O-Eight min
ers are supposed to have lost their lives
in the Old Abe coal mine near White
Oaks, New Mexico, to-day.
The eight men are imprisoned in the
mine and may have escaped with their
lives, but the chances seem to be that
they met a frightful death by suffoca-
ton.
The shaft house of the Old Abe mine
caught fire shortly after noon and In a
few minutes the flames were commune
Gated to the shafting and other work
ings In the mine.
The fire ragged SO fiercely that only
one man in the mine at the time was
able to escape. That man was G. ID.
Wilkinson, who happened to be stand
was thus enabled to save his life.
The others were working in the rear
chambers of the mine. Their only
means of exit was the shaft, or incline,
and the fire prevented them from reach
ing daylight in this way.
The work of rescue was commenced
by heroic hands without delay, but
there was little aid that could be ex-
tended to the entombed men, as the
heat Of the fire prevented the rescuers
from entering the mine.
Notwithstanding, everything possible
was done In the way Of preparations
for entering the mine when the cir
cumstances would permit.
The men will be reached, 1t is hoped,
by tomorrow morning, and their
friends are hoping that they may have
escaped death in the more remote por-
tions of the mine.
How the fire originated is not given
in the dispatches.

A PLAIN CASE.

A House Committee Shows the Rsasuns
for Hard Times.
Washington, March S.-The majority
of the special committee of the House
appointed to inquire into the causes Of
the prevailing agricultural depression,
has prepared report, in which it says:
ut is unnecessary for the committee
to enter into or dwell upon the fact
that agriculture is depressed in every
branch of this most important indus
try; that the values of land and farm
surroundings, unless under exceptional
ly rare conditions. have deprecated
steadily as the purchasing power of
the dollar has increased.
"But while the value Of the property
owned by the American farm has de-
creased in thirty years from nearly
one-half Of the total wealth in 1850, of
which thirty per cent. is now under
mortgage, taxes have steadily increas-
ed and debts now require four times
the labor to be paid that was then re
quired. The purchasing capacity Of
the dollar to secure the farmers land
and his produce has increased four
fold, while the power to pay his taxes
and debts have remained at a stand
still.
"In 1873 wheat sold from $1.55 to
$2.25 bushel according to 'Spoford' s
AlmanacD, in New York in 1894 it sold
at so cents"
Discussing the causes of the depres-
sion the committee says: "Class legis-
lation of the worst character encum-
bers the statute books and has been
carried on to the detriment Of agricul-
ture and its dependent industries for
thirty years, eliminating in the crime
of the age, the demonetization of sill
yer in 1873.
