GEYSER In SALT LAKE.
Water Shot High in the Air by Sub
tcrranean Disturbances.

SALT L-aK'i CITY, Utah, March L.
What appears 10 be genuine volcano has
burst forth IL. ne great Salt lake. a short
distance SOU Sest of Promontory station,
on the Cen Pacific Railway. The phe-
nomenOn fiS appeared recently in the
shape of a su Ill cloud lowering over the
water about mile and a quarter from
the shore 1t gradually increased in di-
mensions, and shot up so high in the air
that ii Is now visible for a great distance.
The water i'm the immediate vicinity bois
and seethes and the spray is thrown up
in the air for hundreds of feet. The vol
cano is situated in the big arm of the lake
on the west side of long range of noun
tainS, and Is distinctly visible from Brig
ham City The phenomenon is accounted
for by the fact that for the last six months
there have been felt several slight shocks
OF earthquake I'm these regions, and il is
supposed the fire and lava which have been
confined ~ the subterranean depths have
now found an outlet and are spending their
force. A number OF people have witnessed
the phenomenon. which has caused consid-
erable alarm in the vicinity.

OF late, however. reports of family trouble

READY FOR M'KINLEY.
White House Put i'm shape and the
Furniture Renovated.

WASHINGTON, March 1T have never
seen the White House In such perfect con-
dition as 1T is to-day" said Captain Dubois
the chief usher, who has served in different
capacities in the Presidents home for many
years. The house is really ready for occu-
pancy by the President and Mrs. McKin-
ley at any moment. All the personal ef-
fects belonging TO President Cleveland have
been removed to the Princeton home. The
furnishings proper TO the rooms belong to
the national government, and, with the ex-
ception of a certain stiffness in aspect, at
ributable to the absence of little knick-
knacks and personal belongings, which may
be supplied by the newcomers, everything
looks homelike and comfortable. The fur
niture has been renovated, the carpets
cleaned and the picture frames regilded and
freshened, so that the interior furnishings
look new, although this had TO be accom-
plished with the expenditure of a small
sum or money. General Wilson, chief OF
engineers, has given his personal attention
TO every detail, continuing voluntarily the
duties that were imposed on him as super
intendent of public buildings and grounds
until the close of the present admins ra-
ton. AS the private portion of the White
House is at present arranged there are six
bed chambers. President Cleveland occu-
pies large room next to the northwest
corner on the second floor, but 1t does not
follow that the same apartment will serve
as the sleeping room of his successor.
Mr.. Porter, Major McKinley,s private Sec
retary. was at the White House for some
time this morning and looked carefully over
the interior. He was not prepared to indi-
cate how the sleeping apartments should be
allotted. but il seemed that his fancy tended
toward the bright sunny room on the south
west corner of the building across the cor
ridor from President Cleveland's chamber,
the best for Mr.. and Mrs Mckinley.
This was the bedroom of the Harrsons
and because 1t is CHEEKY and sunny ard
has southern exposure, 1t appears best
adapted for the needs of Mrs. Mckinley.
Very near by and on the same side of the
central corridor is the library. really used
as sitting room, for, singularly enough,
the White House has no actual private par
lor. Communicating doors between the
rooms along the south front OF the building
would afford the President access to the
official portion of the house.

BESSEMER ORE POOL.
Mine Owners Discuss Allotment of
Output, but Fail to Agree.

CLEVELAND, O.. March 1.-The ad-
journed melting of the Bessemer Iron-ore
Association was held here to-day for the
purpose of allotting the output and fixing
prices for the season. All the principal
mines were represented. Another meeting
will be held here next Tuesday. 1t is said
the main cause of the failure to agree is
the fact that nobody was pleased with the
agreement entered into last year. Ii is as
serted that Rockefeller and Carnegie are
anxious to see the pool maintained for the
reason that II IL goes 10 pieces and the
price of ore is cut away down there will be
not much of a return on Rockefeller's Lake
Superior investments. Rockefeller's repre-
sentative was present at the meeting

HIS BEST ARGUMENT.

The Times publishes to-day commu-
nicstion from Gen. James G. Field in ad-
vocacy of the constitutional convention.
General Field is considered an able advo
cate and it may be presumed that he has
given us the best argument his side of
the question has to advance The much
abused Underwood constitution has been
the organic law Of the State for thirty
years, and after living under it for twenty
years the people decided by vote that they
would rather endure its ills than incur
the expenses of and take their chances
with II new one. General Fields objection
that we have too many judges and too
many public school, county and city
officials is we'll founded, but the correction
OF these evils can he secured through
amendments to our present constitution,
without the risks and dangers, to say
nothing of the expense, of constitu.
tional convention.
To charge that our suffrage system is
corrupt and to lay the charge of corrup
tion Mt the door Of the business men of
Virginia is stigma that is as ungenerous
as it is unjust, and it is surprising that
man of General Fields accredited intelli-
gence should make such Il charge. There
is no class of people in Virginia freer from
political debauchery than our business
men. The only charge that can he sus
toined against them in relation to poll
tics is that of n spirit of unconcern anil
indifference, which has been brought
about by the persistent oniciousness of
political busy-bodies and place hunters,
who continually push themselves and
assume the position of guardian of the
public interest to the disgust of the bust
ness nan.
1t is charitable to presume that General
Field had in his mind the political lazza-
nor OF the street and that his use of the
words business men, was ii lnpsus
calan,i
