Further evideuou of an active volcano lu the Olympic niouutuiug have beuo rocoivud, and sorve to confirm the re. port of Profosaor Alexander, of the Smithsonian iuHtitutiou. Two yonng men of thU city, lien Pettygrove and Uhurlei Bully, are jaat from the Olyin pia niountiiiuB, where they were hont ing elk, and report that after expert' encing a leries of alight earthquake shock, covering a period of two weeks, liamoa and hago voluuiea of black ninoko were obaerved aaoending from one of the amaller pnaka. Flamoa would shoot apanmodically up for few hundred feet and then dense vol ainos of black amoke would belch forth winding up Into the clear sky. Those operation! were repeated every ton minutes. Pettygrove and Sally hur ried back to town for a fresh supply of provisions, and will make an edort to locate the supposed volcano. South of Port Townxond last night the sky was clear, and volcauio phenomena was witnessed by doaeus of people, who do scribe the eruptions of smoke in the same manner as tho two elkhuntors. Many nuvigntors on tho lower sound and straits report seeing tho strange sight, and all believe it to be a small volcano. STREET RAILWAY BONDS. Important DeeUlon Handed Down California's Supreme Court, by Los Angeles, Oct 23. The opinion of the supremo court in the caso of the Market Street Railway Company, of San Francisco, vs. Hellman, on appeal from the lower court, was handed down yesterday, confirming the valid ity of 11,000,000 worth of bonds issued by the street railway company. Tho decision is of great importance, not only in San Francisco railroad circles and to bond-buyors, but to other oities having bonded railroads. Tho decision appears to have sadly confused the ro porters of the local press, for despite the efforts to obtain some information as to its contents, the best they could do yesterday was to furnish a wholly incorrect statement In October, 1803, eleven street rail road corporations were consolidated under the name of the Market-Street Railway Company. The consolidated companies own nearly every street-car line in the city, and have franchises for some 100 miles of track. There was an outstanding bonded dobt owed by the consolidation amounting to $0, 035,000, and to refund this indebted' ness and get more money for construct ion purposes, the directors made blanket mortgage on all tho property of the combine for 117,500,000. New bonds for the amount of the outstand' ing bonds were to be issued at onoe under this mortgage, and substituted for the old issue. Subsequently the manner in which the bonds were is sued was attacked, but the decision sustains the action of the oompany. Trouble In Fennaytvanla Mlnea. Dubois, Pa., Oct 23. Groat anxiety prevails tonight in the bituminous coal region, on aoconnt of the strike situa tion. The labor leaders are not certain that the strike will be ordered, and if not it will be useless for a portion of the mines to remain idle. Dubois and Reyuoldsville minors have been idle for months. Beech Creek and Coal Green men decided yesterday to sus. pond, but the whole affair hangs upon a the decision of the Rochester & Pitts burg Coal & Iron Company's miners at Punxsutawney and the Berwin White miners in the Honesdalo region. If the Berwind White minors quit work tho strike will be general throughout the Boeoh Creek, Honesdale, Puuxsn tawney and Dubois fields. If they con tinue work it is the opinion that the strike will be a fuilure at the begin ning. A Motoeyelo Contest. Chicago, Oct 22. The motocyole horseless carriage race from Chicago to Waukognn and return, a distance of about 100 miles, will be oontested Sat' urduy, Novoinber 2. From present in dications, there will not be less than forty starters in the great race. It is expected several motooyoles will make the distance in less than six hours. Contestants must pass preliminary tests, which will be held October 29, 30 and 31, at which time all impracti cable vohiolos will be dobarred from the contest of November 3. Sevoral motooyoles from France and Germany are entered in the race. Omaha Police Muddle. Omaha, Oct 23. Some litigation has been provoked by tho recent A. P. A. exoitement in Omaha, growing out of the police muddle. The mayor em ployed seventy-five special officers to maintain order in anticipation of threatened trouble. They were on duty sovoral days. The A. P. A. in fluence in the oounoil prevented the mon being paid. The men now sue, and the same influence has deolared that each oase shall be tried separately. Pullman Dividend Deolared. " New York, Oct 19. The directors of the Pullman Palace Car Company have deolared the regular quarterly dividend of 2 por share, payable No vember I. EXTENT OF DROUTH. One of the Severe.t and Moat Prolonged Ever Known In the United State., Washington, Oct 22. Reports re ceived at the weathor bureau indicate that the present drouth is one of the severest, most prolouged and most gen erally known in the United States since the bureau's organization. There are a few places which show an excep tion to the general rule, but in most of the country, unless perhaps in the West and Southwest, there does not appear to have been a heavy rain for the past two months or more. Where there has been exceptional precipitation, it has been confined to small areas. In some parts of the country the drouth began in the latter part of July, but in most sections it did not become markedly pronounced until in August. The entire Atlantic coast, with a few exceptions, such as Charleston, S. C, and Augusta, Oa., show a defici ency below the normal rainfall since the first of August, amounting in some instances to alraoBt half the average precipitation. The Ohio and Missis sippi valleys reported similar condi tions, as has a part of the Pacific coast The lake region has fared better than other sections east of Mississippi. In parts of the Rocky mountains, as in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Nevada, there have been excessive rains during this period, and along the Pacific coast, from Sun Francisco to Olympin, there were good rains in September, as there have been in places since in that sec tion. The greatest complaints come from West Virginia, Kentucky and Western Pennsylvania. Fortunately, in some parts of the country the drouth did not set in until after the principal crops were matured, consequently the effect has not been so disastrous as if it begun earlier. In some places it has had a slight effect on the planting of winter wheat, and complaints come from many quarters of the inconvenience of securing water for domestic and stock purposes, many small streams, stock ponds, springs and wells Having become dry. Pastures bavo been injured in many states. It is also noticeable that there has been an increase of typhoid fever over the normal in many sections where drouth is severe. THE ANACONDA MINES. Details of the Sale of One-Fourth or the Company's Stock. New York, Oct 22. The details of a sale of a quarter interest in the great Anaconda copper mine to Kuhn, Loeb & Co., representing a syndicate oom posed of themselves, the Rothschilds, Cassett, Wernher, Leit & Co. , and the Exploration Company, of London, have become known in Wall street The ne gotiations were begun early in Septem ber by Lounsbery & Co., representing the officers of the Anaconda mine. That firm gave the prospective pur chasers an option on 300,000 shares of the stock of the Anaconda Mining Company at $25 a share, for thirty days, within which time the syndicate was to have the mine examined by its experts. The time was subsequently extendedd to October 22, but as the ex amination of the property, which has been made under the personal direction of Hamilton Smith, has proved satis factory, the syndicate has concluded to take the stock. As soon as the syndi cate obtained the option it placed the stock conditionally in London at a price understood to be about 30 per share. The par value of the stock is 35 per share. The Anaconda mine has been owned by the estate of its discoverer, the late Senator Hearst, of California, J. B. Haggin and bis partner, Mr. Tevis, and Marcus Daly, who is in charge of the mine. It is understood no option has been placed on any part of the other 000,000 shares of the Anaoonda Mining Company. It is understood tho purchasing syndicate will be repre sented in the directory of the Anaoonda oompany by two directors. G. J. A In. worth Dead. Portland, Oct 22. Mr. George Ainsworth, eldest son of the late Cap tain John C. Ainsworth, died at an early hour yesterday morning at his late rosidenoe, 74 Fourth street, after an illness of several months. The an nouncement of his death, made yester- ay, was a severe shock to the many friends of the family, to whom partic ulary Captain Oeorge was known. No man in Portland had a greater number of friends. It has been known for weeks that Captain Ainsworth's health was very poor, and his condition evon precari ous. Returning from California, inv poverished in health, he had sought to gain strength under the genial influ ence of Oregon's clime. ' It Beemed at first that the battle against fate would be fairly won, but the promises held forth were futile. His will was strong, and he held out valiantly against dis ease, but he finally succumbed to anae mia. The Kalaer! Movements. Berlin, Oct 22. Emperor William and Empress Augusta have returned to Potsdam from Woerth and Strasburg, the imperial province. Emperor William has presented a life-sized bust of himself to Prince Hermann Ernest von Hohenlohe-Langenburg, the statt haller of the imperial province, in mem ory of his visit to Strasburg. He was also telegraphed complimentary con gratulations to Prince Leopold, of Ba varia, in reply to the hitter's telegram longratnlatiug him upon his visit to Strasburg. As has already been cabled, the fact that not a single member of the Bavarian royal house was invited to the fetes at Woerth has caused oom ment in Germany, and especially in view of the faot that the late emperor Frederick has oommauded the Bavari an troops during the war. ENGLAND AGGRESSIVE Venezuela Is Arming Herself to Resist the British. IT HAS REACHED AN ACUTE STAGE The American Syndicate Doea Not I'ro- poao to Be Cheated Out of Its Gold Lands. New York, Oct 21. That the Aene' guelan question is approaching an acute stage, with possibilities of resitanoe by the South American government to British aggression, was signified by dis closures made in New York today, on the best of authority. The government of Venezuela has provided itself with modern armament and arms, and among other supplies has ordered ten improved Maxim guns from the British firm that manufuc tures them. The order was not placed through any firm, and the English manufacturers, it is supposed, do not want the destination of the guns made known. At the same time, the syndi cate of United States capitalists, which has secured a concession in the Vene. zuelan gold lands claimed by Great Britain, is preparing a trained force of prospectors, miners and workmen for the field. William N. Safford, counsel for the Orinoco Company, the Ameri can syndicate, made plain today the position assumed by the Orinoco Com pany. He said: "The oompany propose to work its concession without delay. It will send prospectors along the line of the luiat- aca mountains, whose foothills are sup posed to be rich with gold. That ter ritory is, of course, in the compauy's concession, and has always been marked on the company's map. But now that there is a prospect of gold there, Great Britain claims it The arrangements are being made to send out men there to develop the company's concession without any intent to start a contro versy but to assert the company's rights. Besides the mines, there are other properties in the concession await ing development "Great Britain refers to the Schom bergh line, but the fact is she has gone beyond that This line is purely im aginary. Sir Robert Scbombergh visited Venezuela in 1840, and, start ing at Point Barima, merely drew a line southward on the map. The Venezuela government baa conclusive evidence that he made no survey. "In 1850 Great Britain asserted it had no intention to occupy or usurp the disputed territory. So matters went until 1855. In that year rich gold fields, yielding $4,000,000 a year, were discovered west of the Scbom bergh line, between the Guiana and Pa rana rivers. They are known as the Barima gold fields, and are fifty or six ty miles west of the Scbombergh line. "Nevertheless, Great Britain prompt ly stepped in and claimed that terri tory, and so she has gone on sinoe, claiming land wherever gold has been discovered. The Orinoco Company claims these gold fields as being in its oonoessjou, and proposes to stand up for its perfectly clear title to them. DUNRAVEN IN ENGLAND. He Says It Would Do No Good to Dla- eusa Unpleasant Matters. Hyde, Isle of Wight, Oct 21. The steam yaobt Valhalla, owned by Joseph Frederick Laycook, and having Lord Dunraven on board, arrived here from Newport, R. I., this morning, having left the latter place September 28. The craft was boarded by interviewers desir ous of obtaining direct from Lord Dun raven his version of the disappointing races for the America's cup. He said in substance: "I have no statement to make on the subject What I would say has been well threshed out of me during the fortnight I stayed in America after the races." He declined to answer a question as to whether he bad any feeling toward the Now York Yaoht Club, and he re fused to oomment on the statements by Sailmaker Ratsey s men when they ar rived at Cowes, that the raoe was not sailed because the buoys had been changed during the second raoe, say ing: "It would not do any good to discuss unpleasant matters. . Regarding his plans for future rao ing Dunraven said: "I have no plans. I returned home after a long voyage, and am going to London, and from there to Wales. I do not know what I shall do later on." Touohing the acceptance by the New York Yaoht Club of the challenge of Charles Rose, through the Royal Vic tona Yaoht Club, for another series of raoes for the America's cup, Lord Dun raven remarked: "The matter was practically settled when I left the United States. Per sonally, I am glad that it has been so easily settled. We had a pleasant and uneventful voyage across and I am glad to be back." The Federated Metal Workers. Chicago, Oct 21. At a meeting of representatives of the federated metal trades held here yesterday a committee previously appointed to consider the question of a shorter working day re ported in favor of it The report was adopted and will be submitted to the delegates to tho various organizations for a vote.

Wheat Prlcea Are Held Down by Ex tensive Ahlpinenta From Kua.la. New York, Oct. 21. R. G. Dun & Co. 's Weekly Review of Trade says: The events of the week are promising in general though to speculative mar kets they are not enoouragiug. The great advance in ootton has arrested ex ports and so deranged exchange that shipments of gold were for a time ap prehended, but the break in the market indicates that the natural movement of the produot may soon be restored. The halting of the demand and moderate yielding of price in the great indus trial markets show that season of reasonable attention to natural condi tions has arrived. The cotton markot has been partially cornered for early delivery by New Or leans operators, as it has been twice in not far distant years by Liverpool speculators. Spinner here and abroad, with much unanimity refrain from buying largely at ourrent quotations. Until the price recedes far enough to bring out a liberal supply of cotton bills there is a possibility of gold ex ports for other merchandise exports are small from New York for the two weeks being 10 per cent less than last year with imports in the two weeks of October 2 per cent larger than last year. In September Imports were 54. 3 and for nine months 63.8 per cent larger than last year. Wheat doea not go out freely and the attempt to advance prices was followed by an immediate decline. The Atlantic exports, flour included, have been in the past three weeks 4,558,455 against 7,248,111 last year and the big ship. menta from Russia and of late from Argentina show that the world is not obliged to pay Atlantic prices for Amerioan wheat. Western receipts for the week were remarkably Urge 7,733, 000 bushels and for the three weeks 21,638,977, against 14,017,281 last year. The rush of wheat to market and the largest output of flour ever known at Minneapolis, are not evi dences of a shortage in the yield, but we price nag cnangea only one-eigntn cent for the week. Corn is stronger, without clear rea son, for, while exports for the three weeks were 326,840 bushels, against 236,703 last year, but an insignificant traction of the great yield can have been disposed of. Corea, Japan and Kuaala. Paris, Oct. 21. A special to Eclaire from St Petersburg says an exohange of communications has occurred be' tween the Russian government and the Japanese minister at St Petersburg with reference to the recent disorders at Seoul, the capital of Corea. The Japanese minister assured the Russian government that the culprits would be punished, but Russia is said to have replied that she would be forced, in consequence of the riots, to take what steps she considered necessary to pre serve order and make the Corean gov ernment independent of foreign inter ference. The special concludes: As to the course proposed, Russia will do her duty, whatever is entailed, without stopping to inquire whether other powers like or do not like it She will never abandon Corea, and will protect her against all encroachments. " Canadian Matters. St John's, N. F., Oct 21. The revelations regarding smuggling Bhow that vast stocks of wine, spirits, tobac co, cigars, tea, etc., were brought from St Pierre without the payment of duty. The revenue board is appalled at the extent of the revelations and, it is believed, would willingly abandon the prosecution now, owing to the class of persons involved. Government pol iticians are badly frightened at the threats of many supporters of the ao cused who threaten to divnlge damag ing party secrets. The Telegram, the party organ, announces the postponement of the trials of bank directors until the special term of the supreme court, which is about the end of the year. Kaeta'a Mlsalon. San" Francisco, Oct 21. General Manuel Casin, who departed with Gen. eral Ezeta to conquer Salvador, has re turned to town. lie says ne will sue the Paoiflo Mail Company for damages for putting him off the steamer at Aca puloo. Casin says he has returned here to complete the organization of Ezeta s army, and that he is going to New Orleans at once to charter a ship to take troops to Salvador. Meanwhile Ezeta in not idle. According to Casin, the Bteamer Romero Rubio has been chartered, and is already at Acapuloo. He believes that the president of Sal vador will capitulate when he realizes the people are all against him. A Victoria Myatery. Victoria, B. C, Oct. 31. The body of a Cape Mudge Indian woman named Sally was found in the brush on the Songhees Indian reserve, within the city limits, this morning The body was in a nude state, and the clothing some yards away. She was last seen alive yesterday. The police believe she was murdered, but there are only a few slight marks on the body, and the cause of death is as mysterious a the oase itself. There is no clue whatever to work upon. Peru to Have Another Road. Lima, Peru, Oct. 23. Vice-Presi dent Billinghurst advocates the imme diate building of a railroad from Oro aya to Perne, a distance of 100 miles, the road to be a narrow-gauge. Eight bridges will have to be built, but the route is without any particular obsta cle, and the production of the region is inoreasing rapidly. Japuneee Legation Recalled, Yokohama, Oct 21.

LIFE FOR THE OLD LINE Plan of Reorganization ot the Union Pacific Railway. THREE NEW ISSUES OJT BONDS A Syndicate Formed to Purchase Air Defaulted Coupona and Adjuat In Cash the Difference. , New York, Oct 19. A synopsis of the plan of reorganization of the Union Paoiflo railway was announced this afternoon. It places the mileage 'af fected by the reorganization at 1,827 miles of main line. Balances due on outstanding land and town contracts, December 31, 1894, were $6,162,751, and unsold land-grant lands, including those under contract, amounted to 6,524,000 acres, of an estimated value of $13,858,500. The total funded debt is placed at $140,425,862. The fixed charges and deductions from net earn ings, inoluding interest on bonds, sink ing fund and government requirements, are stated in the pamphlet for a period of five years, the average fixed charges beinj $6,803,001. This, it will show, is exclusive of the excefg of the interest on the debt to the government, over the net earnings applicable under the Thurman and other acts; of interest on bonds, held on the main line mortgago trusts, under ooversion provisions, and of the obligations of the railway corn pay nnder tariff guarantees. Including those items, the fixed and other charges prior to the stock of the year 1892, be ing the year just precoding the receive ership, aggregated the sum of $7,881, 475, or greater by $881,475 than the amount necessary to pay the annual in terest upon the maximum mortgage debt, and full annual dividends on the minimum issue of preferred stock con templated in the reorganization plan. The pamphlet shows the annual net earnings for ten years, 1885 to 1894, inclusive, were $7,563,669, or an amount greater by $563,669 than the maximum interest and dividend re quirements upon the new bonds and preferred stock provided for by the plan. The lowest net earnings realized were those of the year 1894, when they were $4,315,077 in excess of the inter est on the maximum amount of the proposed bonds of the new company. - The plan contemplates the issue of $100,000,000 of first-mortgage railway and land-grant fifty-year 4 per cent guaranteed bonds; $75 000,000 of 4 per cent preferred stock, and $61,000,000 of common stock. The new bonds are to be secured by a first and only lien upon the main-line mileage of the Union Pacific railway, equipment land-grant lands and land-grant bal ances, and upon such branch lines of the railway as the committee shall avail itself of through the ownership in mortgage trust of the branch line bonds. The preferred stock is to be entitled to 4 per cent noncumulative dividends, payable out of net or surplus earnings, before the payment of any dividend on the common stock.

The Oregon's Big Gun Ten Tona Heavier Than "Big Betsy." San Franoisoo, Oct 19. The biggest gun ever seen in San Francisco, or in any other part of the United States, is in the railroad yards. It will be re moved to the Union Iron Works in the next few days. Everything is in readi ness there for the reception of the mon ster, but before an attempt . to trundle it into the yards the trestles are to un dergo a critical examination and be submitted to a severe test The gun, which is for the Oregon, is heavier by ten tons than the Monterey's "Big Betsy," and four of the same pattern are to oc cupy the two main turrets of the bat tleship. The four terrors will prob ably grow rusty in the yards before they are swung into position. The Oregon has been lying at the dock for over a year awaiting her turret armor, and it will be some time in the spring before the last of the latter arrives. A mistake was made in Harveyizing the armor for the first 13-inch turret, and this will have to be remade. It will not be ready for shipment until some time next January. The armor for the other turret is to be shipped next month. As far as the contract of the Union Iron Works with the government is ooncerned, it was completed a year ago, and the trial of the battleship satisfac torily made. The government has about $500,000 of the local concern's money, the interest ol which is no un important item. The Orgeon is the fifth vessel built at these works for the United States. The others in the order named, are the Charleston, San Francisco, Monterey and Olympia. For this work the Sootts have received $10,000,000, not inolud ing the $500,000 held back on the Ore gon. Of this big sum it is olaiined that $7,000,000 was spent for labor alone, , making an average of $1,000,000 a year paid out to employes at the Union Iron Works. Mrs. Terry's Property Sold.
