I'm August, 1892, the outer rim of the
pit surrounding the lake was 2s2 feet
below the level of the Volcano House.
THE surface of the lake was 240 feet
below this line.
I'm March, 1894, the surface of the
lake was 207 feet above this line, maxi
ing a rise OF Az feet in nineteen
months.

two periods is shown by Figure -

feet long by 800 wide"
Upon arriving at the volcano on July
5. 1894, the principal change since Mr..
Dodge was there was found to be the
sudden rising Of the north bank Of the
lake, covering an area OF about 500 feet
long by 400 wide. which. on the 21st of
March last was suddenly and without
warning elevated to a height OF so feet
above the other banks and the surface
of the lava, the lake being then full.
The raised area was much shattered
and two blOwholes shortly afterward
made their appearance on the outer
line of fracture.
On the 18th Of April the hill thus
formed began to sink, and on July 9Th
was only about 80 feet above the other
walls Of the lake.
On the evening of the 9Th of July a
party Of tourists found the lake in q
state Of moderate activity, the surface
of the lava being about II feet below
the banks.
On Saturday, the 7th. the surface OF
the lake raised so that the entire sur
face was visible from the Volcano
House. That night II overlooked into
the main crater. and a blow hole was
thrown UP some 200 yards outside and
to the north of the lake. from which
flow issued. There were two Other
hot cones in the immediate vicinity
which were thrown up about three
weeks before. On Sunday, Monday

The awful grandeur and terrible mag

indescrlbable. AS night came on, and
yet hotter recesses were uncovered, the
molten lava which remained in the
many caverns leading off through the
banks to other portions of the crater
began to run back and fall down into
the lake beneath, making fiery cascades
down the sides of the blum. There
were five such lava streams at one
time.
The light from the surface Of the
lake, the red-hot walls and the molten
streams lighted up the entire area,
bringing out every detail with the ut
most distinctness. and lighted up tall

GORDON ARRIvEs-A DRAMATIC
SCENE,
AT LIS p. M, Commander-in-
Chief Gordon arrived. The man
ner of his entrance into the vast
auditorium was dramatic. Gen
eral Van Zandt had announced
that all hope of the presence of
General Gordon had been aband-
oned and the meeting had been
turned over to General S. ID. Lee,
commander of the Army of Ten
nessee. General Lee was in the
midst of his speech when u num-
ber of voices and II stamping of
feet was heard from the rear of
the hall. The roar grew to
thunderous proportions and above
all could be heard the magic word
"Gordon - At that name the
veterans rose to their feat. sI
will speak no more" said Gcner-
al Lee, when the commander had
ascended to the platform. "Our
loved commander can say to YOU

General Gordon, when the ap-

thousands who have no right to
do SO are sleeping at the camp and
eating at the veterans tables.
Some of the old veterans have had
to fight for their places, but they
seemed to be as capable OF tus-
sic as they were years ago. We
will have affairs better in hand
tomorrow " An additional influx
of visitors is expected tomorrow,
the attraction being the Kaliph's
parade. Tonight the young ele-
ment and many of the veterans
rounded out the days pleasures
with n ball at the camp. The
function was given by the Sons of
Veterans and an immense crowd
too great for comfort was
present. While thousands of
visitors did not leave the business
section of the city, Camp Johns
ton, two miles distant, where the
opening exercises were held, was
crowded TO the limit. Delegation
after delegation from the four
corners of the country reported
and were assigned to their divis-
ions. The great mess shed, seat
ing $4,000, was opened at 10
O'Clock. An army of cooks and
walters were in attendance work
ing like beavers, while the vet-
erans, with a hunger born of a
night in the open, did their best
in an able manner to keep the
cooks busy.
OPENING OF THE CONVENTION.
The convention was compelled
to open with General Gordon, the
commander In chief, absent. Hon
John N. Allen, the orator of the
day, was not present when the
convention began. Governor
Sayers and Hon. G.. K. Gerald,
however. appeared at the last
moment and were voeiferously
cheered. Among those on the
stage were Judge John H. Rea
gan, the only surviving member
OF the DAVIS cabinet; w. l.. Ca.
boil; General Stephen ID. Lee, y
cousin of r. E. Lee; Governor
Heard, of Louisiana; Mayor
CapdeviIle, of New Orleans; Col.
onel Lee Crandall, who was on

Lucy Lee Hill, of Chicago, the
sponsor-in chief, and Miss Virgin,
ia Paddock, of Fort Worth, Tex,
the chief maid of honor.
When the convention opened,
the veterans, many of them COM
pairing the bounteous plenty of
their breakfasts with the starva-
tion they were often called upon
toSendure during the war, were in
high good humor. The building
seating 5000 people, was filled
to the topmost row soon after the
convention was called to order by

icaliy OF sentimentally, Texas is
about the biggest thing we ever
saw. She can raise cattle enough
on her wild lands to furnish all the
canned beef for the armies of
| ncle Sam, John Bull and the
German Empire, and still have
fertile lands enough left, if plant
ed in the fleecy staple, to make
more bales of cotton than are now
produced by America and Egypt
combined; or, if planto d in grain
crops, to feed every man, woman
and child in the Union.
With such territory-almost
equal to that of the original thir-
teen States which threw off tn
yoke of bondage and wrencbed
freedom from the greatest of en-
pires es-this great Commonwealth
holds to-day within its borders a
population devoted to those same
imperishable principles "a popu-
lation which, if the occasion should
come, would wage another seven
years war in defence of this in
herited republic, Its flag, it's laws
and its regulated liberties.
In the few moments in which
propriety permits me to speak, |
dare not trust myself. to make
more than the brlefest allusion to
Texas history. ! cannot survey
even the confines of that vast
field, made so rich and so inspir-
ing by the great deeds of her
martial sons. Indulge me Just
long enough to say that from her
birth, through all her costly ex-
periences as II struggling repub-
lie, and through subsequent wars,
the sons of Texas, whenever sum
mened to the sacrifice, have pour
ed out their blood freely y on liber-
ties affairs. From Goliod and
San Jacinto, from Buena TO Vista
and Scerro Cordo, from Chicka-
mauga's hills and the shivcred
rocks of the Round Top at Get
tysburg, from the charge of her
cowboys and rough riders up the
wire glrdled sleeps of Santiago,
from every battlefield made mem-
erable by American valor comes
the thrilling answer of Texas to
freedoms call. No wonder she
has inspired her neighbors beyond
the Rio Grande with such whole
some respect for her powers. No
wonder that the Lone Star is SO
dazzling to Mexican eyes. You
know that the Mexicans claim they
could stand up fairly well against
the whole of the United States if
it were not for Texas.
But not only is Texas great his
torically and great in her geogra-
phieal expanse, but she can do
moro in small space than any 9th
or country in the world. AS proof,
/ point you to little Spindle Top,
where a few acres can pour out of
the greasy throat of boiling, thun-
dsring gushers, oil'enough to light
every hamlet in the land, and at
the same time, if government cx-
perinents are successful enough,
oil to kill oil the mosquitoes from
the Jersey shore to the Mexican
border.
Again Texas has the bigge st

erse. Shall 1 illustrate by naming
