THINKS OF CONGRESS FOR HAY.
House Acts Favorable-Oppositfo by
 Democrats.

Washington, June 2.-The house to. day by vote of 129 to 46 suspended the l rules and adopted the joint resolution extending the thanks of congress to Secretary of State Hay for his address
 on the occasion of the Mckinley memo- rial exercises last February. Unani-
 nous consent for the consideration of this resolution was objected to by MT. DeArmond of Missouri some time ago, and to-day MT Clark of Missouri made a twenty minutes speech ir opposition to it's adoption on the ground that MT.
 Hay had abused the occasion by inject
 ing "a republican stump speech into the address. General Hooker of Mis-
 sissippi, a one-armed Confederate vet
 eran, delivered an eloquent defense of MT. Hays address, denying that it con-
 tained anything that was objectionable from political standpoint. MT. Gros- venor, who was in charge of the resolu- tion, argued that MT. Hay in eulogizing the martyred president could not di- vorce the man from his achievements. Only 46 democrats voted with MT. Clark against the resolution.
 Special orders were adopted for the consideration of the anti-anarchy bill and the bill to transfer certain forest reserves to the agricultural department. The senate bill to retire Surgeon Gen. eral Sternberg and the house bill to en- courage salmon culture in Alaska were defeated on motions to pass them un- der suspension of the rules.

THE NEW COMMON COUNCIL
THE SINGLE BOARD ORGANIZED
 LAST NIGHT.
George Wallace Elected President and James F. Martin Assistant City Clerk Petition for FIagman nt Ninth Ward Railroad Crossings-Sargent & Go. WilI Bridge Wallace Street.

The new board oS aldermen met and
 of the new board lasting only about an hour. When the session was called to order by City Clerk Norris at S:30 all the members were present except Alder
 man Foote of the Fourteenth ward. AL derman Beecher of the Seventh ward, who has been for some time laid up with rheumatism, and who has there fore been obliged to be absent from several meetings was again present last evening, and was cordially greeted by his colleagues and congratulated on his conValescence. MT. Beecher is one of the hold-over aldermen and is one of the most experienced members of the board, having served the city several terms.
 Alderman Conway of the Twelfth, as soon IS the meeting was called to order, moved that Mayor Studley be invited to act as temporary chairman pending the election of a president of the board. This motion was carried, and Aldermen Wallace and Hosley were appointed a committee to wait on the mayor.
 Mayor Studley in assuming the tenn porary chairmanship made a brief ad- dress in the course of which he referred to the fact of the single board in the city's legislative being, new state of affairs and said that it had been thought best by some people to make a change from the custom from time i'm memorial of having two boards. This was perhaps a matter of experiment. Many believed that a smaller body was better and to many it seemed that a larger body was the more representa- tive of the people, but this did neces- sarily follow. He said that one trouble which the board would find would be that it started not at the beginning, but in the middle of a fiscal year. This was not thought of in the making up of the new charter, and perhaps before the year was ended the new board would conclude that it was better that the system should be changed and the new board should come into office at the of the fiscal year.
 Speaking of the fact that much fault is found concerning pavements, lights, etc., he said that the fact should be taken into consideration that New Ha- ven is greatly spread out and requires as many lights and pavements as city of a million inhabitants.
 Certificate of election of the new members was then read and the oath of office was administered to the new members by Mayor Studley.
 The new aldermen who were elected on April 15 last, and who took office last night age:
 Aldermen at-large--Cornelius H. Con- way, John ]. Sprlghtley, Edward G. Frederick. William Trueman, $. Fred Strong and Quartus A. Lyman.

 Seen to Erupt and Throw Out Stone,
 and Mud-Country for Miles Around
 Afeoted-Earth Snook Before the Ex. | piosion.
 Seattle, Wash, June. ?. -- Word has been received here that an eruption of Mount Blackburn, in southwestern Alaska occurred on April ii. A special to the Times from Skagway under date of May 2S, says: Accounts | of most thrilling nature regarding the volcanic action of a supposed harmless mountain in Alaska were brought to this city by J. c. Mcfarland this af- ternoon Seven weeks ago slight earthquake shock was felt in all parts of Alaska and until to-day the phenom- enon remains unexplained. MT. Mcfarland, who is a geologist, happened to be within a few miles of Mount Blackburn. The story is best told in MT. McFarland's own words: "On April II, about 7:30 in the morning, I was just packing my cooking uten-
 
 came oppressive with a distinct and un- common silence. In my Wanderings through different wilds I had become used to many strange freaks of nature, but this one appalled, me. I was in rough, mountainous country, I should judge about ten miles from the base of Mount Blackburn in southeastern Alas ka, not far from the starting point of the glacier which is, as 1t rears its face on the north Pacific ocean, called Muir glacier, suddenly the earth beneath my foot shook; low rumbling sound &C., companied the quaking. I glanced up at Mount Blackburn. Instantly it seem- ed as if the peak had opened; a cloud of ashes and smoke shot out into the air several hundred feet and then there seemed to flow from the opening in the top a stream of dirty stuff with large and small boulders. This continued for only about ten minutes, then ceased as suddenly as it had begun, and the air cleared.
 ''It was three days after many peril ous attempts before I succeeded in reaching the base of the mountain. Then I discovered that the country for miles around had been affected. The small undergrowth of the trees had been entirely covered up. The stuff which poured from the top of the moun- tain was not even warm, but seemed to consist purely of dust, rocks and other thing substances. I remain on the spot only a couple of hours then left for the coast. As near as I can find out, this mountain has never been consider ed of q volcanic nature"
