New York, May 25.-The Presbyter
ian General Assembly adopted the re
port of the standing committee on

saying that forty-tive per cent of al

from Albuquerque says:
The fact is not generally known that
less than twenty miles from the town
of Gallup, New Mexico. exists II vol
cano whose powers are not entirely
dormant. The ground around the cra-
ter is very hot. and now and then
smoke arises. For hundreds of miles
from this and other crnters in the Vi
cinity lava beds extend. About fifteen
miles from Albuquerque are three era
ters., and though no disturbance has
been reported within the memory of

DEATH OF LORD PAuNcEFoTE.
Distinguished British Ambassador
Dies of Asthma and rheumatism.

Washington. May 25.-Lord Paunce-
fote, British ambassador 10 the united
States, died mt the embassy yesterday
morning at 5:3J o'clock.
At his bedside when the dlstln-
guished diplomat passed away were
Mrs. PauncefOtc the Honorable Mauue
Pauncefote, Miss Sibyl and Miss AUD
rey, DIR. Jung and Mr. Radford. one of
the clerks attached 10 the embassy.
As soon as it became generally
known that Lord Pauncefote was dead,
flags were half-masted over the dif-
ferent embassies and legations. Al the
Arlington hotel. where the Vlsltlhs
Frenchmen who have come to witness
the Rochambeau statue unveilinS are
stopping, the French flag was placed AT
half mast.
All through the past winter Lord
Pauncefote had been sufferer from
Intermittent attacks of asthma ana
rheumatic gout, but he bravely kept
on his feet as much as possible, went to
the State Department regularly on dip
lomatic days and generally strove to
keep up his active duties, though IL was
evident that the effort il caused him
was great. In the early part of March,
the ambassador went to North Carolina
on a visit to George Vanderbilt at Bit
more and stayed there for about fort
night in the hope of recuperating IRON
his afiliction in the Carolina pines. lie
returned to Washington about the mid
die of the month with his sufferlngs
but little abated In April there came
another severe attack and from that
time until his death the ambassador
had been confined almost continuously
to his bed, and his strength had been
slowly but surely leaving him.
The office of dean of the diplomatic
corps ut Washington now devolVes
upon DIR. Won Holleben. the German
ambassador, and upon him will fall the
duty of directing the diplomatic body's
action on this occasion. The entire DIP
lomatic corps will attend the funeral Ill

Great Labor Strike in Denver.

Denver, May 26.-To-day all building
by union workmen stops in Denver, and
the stoppage will continue. from pres
ent Indications, until either the owners
of the planning mills agree to grant an
eght-hour day, or the members of the
building trades are compelled by lack
of money to go back to work. There
will be no demonstration whatever at
the Inauguration of the big strike, the
union leaders say. but the carpenters,
the stone masons. the brick layers, the
sheet metal workers. and the members
of the other trades involved in building
will simply not appear for work.
There is considerable doubt. however,
that the carpenters will continue in the
strike, owing to previous agreements
with employing contractors.

Fierce Forest Fires.

Denver, May 26.-A Republican spe-
cial from Salida last night says:
The worst forest fires in the history

vide. the Collegiate range and the san

DEFEND THE OLD SOLDIER.
Stirring Debate in the House over
Pension BILLS.

Washington, May 24.-The House de
voted the day yesterday to private
pension bills and to a few other minor
measures Mr. Loud of California crit
icised the special pension legislation as
a disgrace. and drew emphatic re-
sponses from Messrs. Sulloway of New
Hampshire. Sulzer of New York and
Miers of Indiana. In all 105 private
pension bills We're passed.
Mr.. Loud declared that pension legis-
lation had gone far beyond the point
of reason. and had become disgrace
to this legislative body. He said it
was physically impossible for the COM
mittee reporting these bills to consider
them carefully. as 1,169 had been re-
ceived at this session and passed with
in total of twenty-eight hours
Mr.. Loud's remarks brought out sew
eral emphatic responses. Chairman
Sulloway of the committee asserted
that the bill had the most careful con-
sideration. He paid tribute to the
old soldiers as the warriors of the ma
ton who should be protected in their
old age. and never be permitted to en-
ter an aims institution. .
Mr.. Sulzer of New York and Mr..
Miers of Indiana also paid glowing
tributes to the old soldiers. Mr.. Miers
said it was an alternative between this
legislation and lover the hills to the
poor house."
Mr.. Sulzer ernphatically protested
against the slandering of the men who
followed the flag, and declared that it
was the duty of every patriotic repre-
sentative to stand behind the old SOL
dier.

Proposed Churchill Railroad.

The meeting of the citizens of Churchill
county recently held at Fallon to consider
matters offered ever inducement to the
Southern Pacific Company for the build
ing of the new line of track, says the
Reno Ledger. 1t was the sentiment OF
the meeting that the new road be exempt
from taxation for a period Of twenty
years land that Churchill county should
give $4,000 In bonds towards the con-
struction of the new line. 1t will be me-
cessary for the Legislature to pass an
act before things will be in proper shape
for the building of the new road. This
proposed railroad when built will rapidly
develop the promising agricultural re-
sources of Churchill county and that Sec
ton of Nevada will soon impress the
world that it is on the map.
