ERUPTION OF CoLIMA
Mexican Volcano Terrifes Indians
 Wori--ng in the Mines

New York, February 2o-Details of the eruption of the ColimH volcano. on the Pa cific coast of Mexico recently reported py telegraph from Guadajara, Mexico, have been received by w. J. Arkell, of this city. An immense river of lava ran over the side of the volcano, and threatened to over whelm three Indian villages near its base. The Indians fled to the Santa Ana mine, in the center of Colima's copper region, and sought safety by hiding in the mine, leaving their women and children to shift for themselves. A company of Mexican troops drove the Indians from the mine, and sent them back to their homes to pro- tect their families. The government of Mexico from whom MT. Arkell, MT. Meth erlen Hall of Chicago and Paul w. Her bach of Omaha obtained a concession of 25O,OOO acres in the Colima valley, offered to cancel the concession if the mines were injured by the volcano's eruption, but the offer was declined. One of the most seri- ous results of the volcanic eruption is the entire cessation of work on a tramway now being built to connect the Cooper mines with the port of Manzanillo. The con- tractors were unable to restrain the terri fled Indians employed in the construction of the road. Many of them thave gone to Michoacan and Jalisco, and others have fled to the more distant southern states of the republic. One of the reasons for for many years the belief has prevailed that the close of. this century would be marked by devas stating floods and earth QuakeS.

CONCESSIONS HOLD
Cragen Says Pauncefote-Hay Treaty
 Will Not Effect Him

New York, February 2O.-Edward F. cragin who two years ago took a num- ber of engineers and contractors to Nica- ragua over the route of the proposed inter oceanic canal, has issued statement de- ciaring that the legislation pending in Washington over the Hay -Pauncefote treaty can in no way affect the Eyre-Cragin concession. He said:
 You may make me responsible for the statement that the United States cannot construct the canal excep under the Eyre. Cragtn concession. The sole authority con- eists of a contract between the government of Nicaragua on one side and Edward w. Eyre and myself on the other executed at the National Palace, Managua, October 31 1898. This agreement sets aside all prior concessions, and also stfpulates that no sirb- sequent grant can be issued by Nicaragua We paid $100, 900 on account of the contract which provides that we shall construct the canal, and that is what will be done.
 Our programme is to go quietly ahead pay Nicaragua the $400,0O0 more within the prescribed time, patse the necessary capital construct the canal and operate it."

New Mexico is as large as Norway.
France is the size of Arkansas, Louis

Montana is as large as the Empire OF

Wyoming are as large as Sweden.
Arizona is as large as the Philippines

A TICKLE IMMIGRANT.
Her Experience With Two Lovers at
Uncle Sans barge Office.

Uncle Sans barge Office.
"There seem to be manifold oppor-
tunities among the immigrants coming
to America on shipboard for falling in
love. particularly on the slower steam
ers. when people are thrown together
Tor a period of from II to IS days."
saws John Gilmer Speed in Ainslee's.
"In this case a worthy young Russian
was cheated out of a very pretty bride
by a likely Italian fellow traveller of
the maiden. Strangely enough, she
knew not one word of Italian nor he
a word Of Russian, yet the brides
countryman was Tilted, and the panto-
mime lovers were married and set
forth gayly and confidently to learn
each other and the great new world
they had entered at one and the same
time.
Another case was equally ludicrous.
A Swedish maiden of somewhat tickle
mind fell in love with a fellow voy-
ager without apprising him of the fact
that she was betrothed to another man
whom she was to meet at the barge
office and marry. 1t was her intention
to hurry ashore with her new lover
and outwit the former by prior cere-
mony. but the red tape of the office
prevented that, and the first lover came
to welcome his bride. She then as
promptly fell in love with No /. But
when No. pleaded and threatened.
she could not decide which one she
loved the better. so she was detained
while the two men haunted the barge
office. glaring at each other.
when the detention time had elaps-
ed. the bride. still not knowing her
mind, was sent unceremOniously back
on the same steamer that brought her
over, both Tilted lovers abandoning the
field in despair. But on arriving on
her native soil once more the maiden
dared not face her people. so back she
came. having just money enough TO
pay her passage. and sent for lover NO.
/. declaring that she loved him the bet
ter. He replied that he was very much
obliged. but as he had already married
a handsomer girl in the interval be was
compelled to decline to come for her.
The maiden then sent word to No. 10
like effect. but he declared that be had
had enough Of the tickle feminine. ana
thus in defeat the maiden was trans
ported back again TO face the lS7S 6 81
icers Of her native hamlet"
