The Pacific Cable.
Vancocveb, B. C, May 14 Mail ad
vices by steamer Miowera from Australia
say that the British Pacific cable scheme
is booming in Australia Each ot the
colonies has agitators who are system
atically enthusing the people. Lirge
numbers of .circulars and financial state
ments are being struck off. Tbey are of
a most plausible nature, tending to show
that the cable would be a paying affair
from the start, and that if Great Britain,
Australia and Canada did not move
quickly, America would forestall them.
Some of the colonies guarantee, be-
Bides a bonne, that a trade equal to the
entire trade now going over the Asiatic
route will be sent by the Pacific route.
The feeling in favor of the Pacific cable
is spreading, and not a colony in Aus
tralasia will withhold a bonus. 1
An adventurous young Englishman
named Carr, who it is quite possible,
may be Lieutenant Seton Carr, a most
dangerous mountain-climber and a
pioneer of the British Geographical
Society, narrowly escaped destruction in
a whirlwind of steam, cinders and stones
preceding the deluge of lava emitted by
Old Kuapehu, New Zealand's famous
volcano, late in March. The eruption
still continues intermittently, and the
sky for hundreds of miles has been fiery
red for weeks. Carr is now at Auckland
hospital . recovering from injuries re
ceived in his strange adventure.
News is aleo brought of an accident
which occurred at Gympic, N. S. W., a
few days before the Bhip sailed, by which
Mile. Essie Viola, of San Francisco,
known as the queen of American aero
nauts, nearly lost her life. When the
balloon in which Mile. Viola ascended
reached an altitude of over 1000 feet, the
thousands of , spectators below were
shocked at the appearance of flames
bursting through the huge silken bag.
With great difficulty the aeronaut re
leased the parachute,, but this, too,
caught fire an she was about to jump
from the balloon. Nevertheless Mile.
Viola leaped from the cage and with her
burning parachute fluttered down to
earth. The strangest feature of the acci
dent, which ia authenticated by -copies of
a number of Australian papers, is that
the young woman was not seriously in
jured by the fall.
A Good Offer Made.
San Antonio, Tex., May 14. It is
said that a purse of $40,000 for the Cor-bett-Fitzsimmons
fight has been sub

150 miles south of here, if the offer la
accepted. '
