HIS VISIT TO VESUVIUS.
And what He Thought as He Gazed
Into the Fiery Pit.

An American who detestS SightSee-
ing upon principle lOafed for six weeks
at Sorrento without stirring in the di-
rection Of places most travellers would
have thought il criminal to omit His
only dread was the cross questioning
of kind friends when he got home. TO
confess that he had deliberately staid
away from all those celebrated spots
of interest would bring down no end Of
scOrn and denunciation upon him. But
sufficient unto the day is the evil there
of, and the American resolved to trust
to inspiration to get him out of such
possible scrapes. The first person he
met after leaving Sorrento was an
American woman on the train, and the
first thing she wanted to know was if
he had climbed Vesuvius.

q CULVER.
"Oh, tell me all about it!' cried the
woman. "How interesting it must
have been! My husband never would
let me go up, but I'd just love to hear
your experience"
The American, having heard the
whole story many, many times, plung-
-, ed into it with much detail. He de-
scribed the long drive from Naples to
the foot Of the mountain and the steep
ness of the inclined railway and the
way the women of the party squealed
and all the rest of it. From time to
time the woman interrupted with some
searching question, but so well did he
, know his lines that never once did she
! catch him mapping, At last after a
realistic account of how, after leaving
the train he had plunged his way Oh
,, foot through the hot, powdery lava to
the crater's very edge, the American
paused for breath.

cred the pending treaty little less than
an insult to the intelligence of the
American people: He had no doubt
that il proper diplomatic efforts should
be made 1t would be possible to secure
the complete abrogation of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, and that was What he
wanted. That convention, he said, was
contrary to the wisheso the people of
the United States and they could be
satisfied only by definitely erasing it
once and forever. There also should be
new conventions between the United
States and both Nicaragua and Costa

HAl WILL Nor RESIGN.
Defeat of the Treaty Will Not Drive
Him From tho Cabinet.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE senate
spent almost five hours Monday in ex-
ecutive session considering the Eay-
Pauncefote treaty. Senator Morgan
took issue with Senator Teller asto the
purport of the first clause of the Clay
ton- Bulwei' treaty. claiming that it ap-
Piled only to Great Britains right to
fortiy the Nicaragua canal tself. SEN
ator Teller replied at some length. as
serting that the provision was of more
general import as, he said, any one
could ascertain for himself by reading
President Buchanans views upon the
subject when he was minister to Eng
land. The declaration then made
showed plainly. he said. that England
had attempted to extend her rights be-
yond the Immediate vicinity of the ca
nal MIR. Teller repeated his declaration
that the United States should construct
the canal, IL at all, regardless of the
English position and without going thru
the formality of ratifying the pending
treaty.
During the day speeches We're made
by Senators Money, Stewart, Frye and
others Senator Stewart announced
that he was for the treaty without
amendment and Senator Money that he
was against the treaty In any form. He
wanted the canal bill as much as any
senator could, he said. but he consid-
