Heea Reported. 1
lined to Very Hmall
Washington. Oct 23. Reports re
ceived at the weather bureau indicate
that the present drouth is one of the
severest, most prolonged and most geu
rally known in the United States
since the bureau's organisation. There
axe a few places which show an ex-1
eption to Uie general rule, but in
most of the country, unless perhaps the
West and Southwest, there does not
appear to have been a heavy rain for
the past two mouths or more. Where
there has been exceptional precipita-
tiou, it has been counuea w am...
areas. In mine parts of the country
the drouth began iu 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 execptious, such as Charleston. &
C, and Augusta, Ga., shows a defici
ency below the normal rainfall since
the first of August, amounting in some
instances to almost 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 iarea oeuor mu
other sections east of Mississippi. In
pans of the Rocky mountains, as in
Colorado, Wyoming. Utah and Nevada,
there have been excessive rains dunug
this period, and along the Pacific coast,
from San Francisco to Olynipia, 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.
Fortumtely, 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 place it has had a slight effect
tro the planting of winter wheat, and
complaints come from many quarters
of the inconvenience of securing water
for domestio and stock purposes, many
small streams, stock ponds, springs and
wiia havina become dry. Pastures

AN ACTIVE VOLCANO.
Professor Alexander's Report Conllrmed
by Two Elkhunters.
Port Townsend, Wash., Oct 22.
Further evidences of an active volcano
in the Olympic mountains have been
received, and serve to confirm the re
port of Professor Alexander, of the
Smithsonian institute. Two young
men of this city, Ben Pettygrove and
Charles Sally, are just from the Olym
pic mountains, where they were hunt
ing elk, and report that, after experi
encing a series of slight earthquake
shocks, covering a period of two weeks,
flames and huge volumes of smoke
were observed ascending from one of
the smaller peaks. Flames would shoot
spasmodically up for a few hundred
feet and then dense volumes of black
smoke would belch forth, winding up
into the clear sky. These operations
were repeated every ten minutes. Pet
tygrove and Sally hurried back to town
for a fresh supply of provisions, and
will make an effort to locate the sup
posed volcano. South of Port Town
send last night the sky was clear, and
volcanic phenomena were witnessed by
dozens of people, who describe the
eruptions of smoke in the same man
ner as the two elkhunters. Many nav
igators on the lower sound and straits
ran the strange sight, and all be
lieve it to be a small volcano.

The decision of Chamvllor Leather
...... thia afternoon was in accordance
with the views expressed by Governor
Clarke, and as showu by tho house rec
ord. The proof produced demonstrated
the fact that a glove contest was to be
fought a limited number of rouuds
here, October 31. between Corbett and
Fitasimmous. and that five-ounce
gloves were to be used. Hy the num
ber of experts put on the stand it was
proved that soft-glove contests are not
brutal affairs, and are never attended
with any serious or harmful results
when engaged in by traiued athletes.
It is sometime the case that amateur
boxers or unskilled meu injure each
other iu glove contests, but never had
such a thing occurred, iu the knowl
edge of the witnesses, when engaged in
by skilld boxers, such as Corbett and

Dubois, Pa., Oct 22. Great anxiety
prevails tonight in the bituminous coal
region, on acount 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
Eeynoldsville miners have been idle
for months. Beech Creek and Coal
Green men decided yesterday to sus
pend, but the whole affair hangs upon
the decision of the Rochester & Pitts
burg Coal & Iron Company's miners at
Pnntxsutawney and the Berwind
White miners in the Honesdale re
gion. If the Berwind White miners
quit work the strike will be general
throughout the Beech Creek, Hones
dale, Punxsutawney and Dubois fields.
If they continue work it is the opinion
that the strike will be a failure at the
beginning.

handed the accusation to the district
attorney late this afternoon. A copy
has been served on Ashworth, and he
will be cited to appear and defend him
self in the superior court, wherein he
will be tried by a jury. Should the
accusation be sustained, the only course
of procedure, according to tho statutes,
will be to dismiss the official from office.
A mass of evidence was presented to
the jury in its investigation of the
affairs of the street department. Con
tractors, teamsteis, property-owners
and inspectors were examined, and ser
ious charges wore froely made. Of
this mass of evidence, there came to
the jury a conviction that the deputies
of Ashworth had formed a ring of dis
honest contractors, who used cheap
material and prevented honest bidders
from having a chance in street work.

tin Julian leaves here in the morning
for New Orleans, whence he will go to
Hot Springs, fully prepared to carry
out Fitzsimmons' part of the agree
ment with the Florida Athlotio Club.
Both he and Fitzsimmons are muoh
surprised at the statement in Tues
day's papers of tho change in the or
iginal agreement to a sparring exhi
bition with soft gloves. He indignant
ly denies that Fitzsimmons would en
gage in any such exhibition. Fitz
simmons said:
"The proposed change of rules is a
fake. Such a show would not be of
any credit to either of us. They are
just using us to let the Florida Athletic
Club sell more tickets and the citi
zens of Hot Springs draw a crowd to
town. Snppose the referee called the
