The necessity for doing something to
expedite the work in order to reach
final adjournment in any kind of sea-
son has led Speaker Gordon to hold
q conference with the chairmen of the
various standing committees Of the
house. The result of the conference was
the appointment of steering commit
tee whose duty it will be to sift the
pending bills, wedding out the worthless
ones, combining those relating to the
same subject or seeking to accomplish
the same object, and pushing the most
meritorious to the front. This COM
mittee will be the sole witness of the
demise Of the pet measures OF many of
the legislators. The treatment provid-
ed for is heroic, but the occasion de-
mands 1t.
The senate has agreed to the Dudley
bill providing a bounty Of / cent per
pound for beet sugar of Michigan pro-
duction. The bill was slightly amend
ed in the senate, but the chances are
that the amendments will be concurred
in. The changes made by the senate are
that the weigh masters and inspectors
shall be appointed by and under the
supervision' of the commissioner of the
state land office, instead OF the secre-
tary of state, and that the bounty
shall be paid whether the United States
offers a bounty or not. AS 1t passed
the house. the bill provided that the
state bounty shall cease whenever the
general government offers one, the de-
sire being to not pay two bounties.

VOLCANIC LAKE ACTIVE.
Crater Long Extinct shows signs
of Life.

VANCOUVER, B. c., August 10
Captain Cooper of the steamer COurser,
one of the best-known navigatOrs in
British Columbia. who has for years
made frequent trips between New
Westminster and Harrison Lake,
states that there is every sign at the
lake of a renewal of volcanic activity
long deemed extinct in that region,
though the mineral hot springs OF
AgassiZ on the lake are undoubtedly or
volcanic origin. The captain describes
the lake as a mass of muddy ferment,
which he can only attribute to volcanic
effort.
Captain Peele. the Government me
teorologist at New Westminster, and
one of the ablest scientists of the prov
ince. has long held the opinion that a
renewal of volcanic activity on a great
er or less scale might be expected near
the Agassiz hot springs on Harrison
Lake He goes so far as to say that
disastrous far-reaching eruption is
within the bounds of possibility. He
supports Captain Cooper's opinion that
the influence of volcanic action on gold
upheaveI. may have a practical effect
on the fortunes of the Harrison Lake
mining district.

CONSTANTINOPLE, August 49,
The city is almost in a panic over the
bomb explosions attempted or accom-
plished this afternoon at three differ
ent places. The explosions are attrib-
uted to the Armenians.
At o'clock a bomb was thrown just
outside the Police Headquarters in
Pera District 1t failed to explode. AL
most at the same moment an Armenian,
whose name, it is believed, is Garavbel,
was arrested at the Imperial Ottoman
Bank in the Galata District. He was
carrying package of explosives, which
he was trying to ignite.
A bomb was exploded in private
road between the ViZierate Offices of
the Grand Vizier) and the Council
House. One man was killed and sew
eraI others injured. The explosion
shattered windows in the vicinity and
did other slight damage. The police
have made a number of arrests.
Reports of the explosion spread
quickly and caused great excitement.
The police and the guards at the Sui
tan's palace are taking extraordinary
precautions tonight, which has given
color to a rumor that the bomb throw
ing is part of the widespread plot. The
most abject terror prevails in the pre-
cincts of the palace.

General Campos to BE President of
Council.
NEW YORK, August IA cable
from Havana TO the Sun says: a cable
dispatch from Madrid TO Havana news
papers say that a new Cabinet has been
formed in Spain as follows: President
of the Council of Ministers, General
Martinez Campos; Minister Of Foreign
Affairs, Senior Sagasta; Minister Of
Marine, Senior Maura; Minister of the
Colonies, Senior Moro; Minister of the
Interior, Senior SilveIa; Minister of
War, General Polavieja; Minister of
Finance, Senior Gamazo.
The dispatch says that the new Min
istry has not yet taken the oath, but
that, with perhaps some slight modifi-
cations, it has met the approval of the
Queen. All the principal elements of
the two monaTchicaI parties are rep
resented. The news has created a great
sensation in Havana, as the presence
OF Martinez CampoS and the presence
Of Seniors Sagasta, Maura and Silvela
in the Government seem to indicate a
great change in the colonial policy of
Spain. Cubans are hopeful that the new
Government will consider how useless
ii is for Spain to continue its sacrifices
of money and men to maintain an
endless war in the island. If any
change is made in the Cabinet it will
remain on the same basis-a represen-
tative Ministry and all monarchists,
including the Conservative and Lib
eral parties. Such a Ministry is called
in Spain a Government Cabinet Min
isterio de GObierno).

Short interview Win llr.
g. NJ. ThoInas, Late OF
Cuba.
In a talk with DR.. Thomas. yes
terday afternoon, Register repor-
ter asked whether therewas really
as much suffering in Cuba, as is
generally alleged. The Doctor.
answered.
War is always terrible, but never
in the history of the world was
ever carried on in a more barber
GUS and brutal manner, than the
Spaniards have conducted the
present war in Cuba. Soldiers
must expect hardships, trials and
even death. But there is no ex-
cuse for treating helpless women
and children as they are treated in
Cuba, to-day. The longer the war
continues the greater will be the
suffering; and the Cubans are de-
termined to fight until they are a
free people.
In reply to the question whether
the war would be likely to come to
an end soon, he said:
The present war in Cuba, has
only begun, unless the United
States interferes. The life of the
Spanish nation depends on its
ability to crush this rebellion. The
government will sacrifice its last
dollar, and the lives of half mil
lion men, rather than grant the in
surgents their freedom. But even
more determined than the Spani-
ards are the Cubans, and there
will never be peace on the island,
except on the condition of abso-
lutte independence.
Did you succeed in getting into
the interior of the island? asked
the reporter.
I made three trips into the in
terror of Cuba. The first was east
from Havana, the second, south,
and the third and most interesting
as well as hazardous, was in
to the province of Pinar del Rio.
Like all Americans in Cuba, I was
watched continually. Twas treated
kindly by the Spanish officers, but
found it wise to keep my mouth
shut, and eyes wide open. In
conversation with Spanish officers
I soon found out that they hate the
American people. Some of them
said to me "as soon as we have
crushed the Cubans, we will teach

Attitude Criticised.

Washington, Nov. Senator
Teller, the leading spirit of silver
Republicans, and one of the best
posted men on the fiscal question
in this country, talked for an hour
this afternoon.
mo man." said the Senator,
'.can say now what will be attempt
ed by the Administration on the
money question. We know pretty
well what the House will do under
pressure, and we are equally as
sured what policy will be pursued
in the Senate. 1t is idle, however,
to discuss propositions until we
hear from the Administration and
that body of eminently wise men
known as the monetary commits
sion, which has been holding its
sessions in this city.
"The Republicans are going
about the study of this question in
the wrong way. They are not
honest. They deal with it purely
from the standpoint of expediency.
Senator Chandler talks of bimetal-
lism as necessity in order to save
the party from loss at the hands of
voters. He represents the senti-
ments of that part of the Repubh-
can party which would do some
thing for silver if it were impera-
tive to save the party, and leave
silver alone SO long as the elections
could be carried without it. Rep
resentative Henderson, of Iowa, in
a recent interview, is quoted as
saying that unless something is
done the Democrats will carry sew
eral of the Congressional districts
in his State, and sweep it at the
next general election. Neither he
nor Mr.. Chandler, nor any other
Republican, suggests that any
thing be done for silver, because
to do it would be the right thing
to do. They want it done in or
der to head off the possible results
of their failure to do something.
"There is not Republican to-
day who discusses the money ques-
ton honestly. They even misrep-
resent the facts and distort statis-
tics. The object of declaring for
the gold standard is to contract the
money of the country and make it
easier for them to corner it.
THE present scheme of the Adj
ministration appears to be to re-
tire the greenbacks and let the ma
tional banks make up the amount
lost by the withdrawal of these
notes from circulation. Such a
proposition will never receive the
sanction of Congress. If it came
to a direct vote in the Senate it
could not pass, for there are GER
tain Senators, whom it is not nee
essary to name, who would not
dare to vote for it. In the first
place, it is foolish to suppose that
national banks would increase
their circulation. To retire the
greenbacks and treasury notes
means a contraction of S5OO,oO0,-
600. The circulation of national
banks is less than S25O,OO0,OO0,
and if any man believes those in
situations would swell that circu-
lation to s7OO,OOO,OOO and guaran-
tee to redeem every dollar of it in
gold across their own counters, he
is financially unsound and mental
ly insane. 1t would not be done
if required by law. for the banks
would then simply go out of bust
ness"
