W. Bryan, 'nited States mine Inspector for the Indian territory, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1895, has been received at the Interior Department. Mr. Bryan says that he has found a gen- eral disposition on the part of the mine owners to comply with the law. Sugges- tions as to improvements not specifically required by law have been, as a rule,adopt- ed. The veutilation in nearly all the mines has been increased, and the air courses have all been well-timbered and cleaned. Metallic speaking tubes through the mines have been everywhere adopted, but in the larger ones they have been found useless for long distans2s. Safety catches and cov21s have been provided for all cages and are periodically inspected. The rule prohibiting the employment of children under twelve years of age has been rigidly enforced. Strict attention has been given to the law providing that only experienced, competent and sober men shall be placed in charge of machinery, and to such good effect that there has been but one accident from machinery during the past year, that one being from ertire- ly accidental causes. Owing to the volatile characier of the bituminous coal in the territory, shct- firers have now been employed, who do not enter the mine or fire any shots until all the miners have left it. In all fire-damp mines careful men are appointed, who in- spect each working face before the mel enter it. - ‘The law does not state how soon after the opening up of a new mine all the provi fons of the law must be complied with. It is apparent that in one commenced on a small scale, and with a small capital, much work must be done before the venti- lating and other shafts are needed. In the cause of mines started up after having been idle for a long time, much time Is required to inaugurate all the details required. In these cases, the report says, some discre- tion has been observed, there being gener- ally a conscientious effort to obey the law as soon as possible. The Indian territory mines employ 3,530 men. The output for the year ending June 80, 1895, was 1,223,440 tons. The total num- ber of accidents was forty-six, six of which were fatal. Most of the others were slight. = PORT ROYAL DRY DOCK. It Will Be Thoroughly Tested Before It is Accepted. The new naval dry dock at Port Royal, S. C., will be ready for use on the 15th instant, and, if all works well, the Navy Depart- ment will be relleved of what appeared to be a disagreeable necessity of sending the Indiana, the first of our big battleships, to Europe to be docked before her trial trip. It is the intention of the department to test the dock thoroughly preliminary to accept- ance. To this end a special board has been appointed, of which Constructor Hanscom is a member, to proceed to Port Royal and make the tests. The double turreted moni- tor Amphitrite will be the firat vessel to go into dock. She ts short but heavy, weigh- ing about 4,000 tons, and she will be moved from one place to another until her weight has rested upon every part of the bottgm of the big dock, and while this is going on careful measurements will be made at every stage to detect the slightest settlement of the floor, which might be dangerous to a heavy vessel. —— BOYS’ DEADLY DUEL. They Fought Desperately With Knives. William Welton and John Stangoul of Leavenworth, Kan.,school boys,thirteen and eleven years old, respectively, fought a deadly duel with knives Saturday night. The boys have always been good friends and school mates, and have borne good rep- utations, They quarreled over some trivial matters, and, urged on by their associates, agreed to fight it out with knives. They fought for twenty minutes, when the crowd cf small boys around them found they could not separate them. The alarm was given and their parents were <ent for. They arrived just as the younger lad sank to the ground with a deep wound in his left side. He is in a dangerous condition, but may possibly live. The other boy is also painfully wounded. ——- --- + e+ —__ —_—_ Japaneve English. From the Boston Commonwealth, Commander Wilde, United States navy, has presented his kinsweman, Miss Louise Withington of North Easton, a silk hand- kerchief which some enterprising merchant in Yokohama furnishes to patrons for ad- vertising purposes. As an illustration of Japanese English, the following words, which decorate the four sides of the bor- der, are unique and worthy of preserva- tion in print: “My shop was constantly trading the yar- icus clothes of the domestic and the for- eigner.

According to ths Lendon Daily News the Russian volunteer fleet Is rapidly develop- ing inte a vary powerful and useful auxtil- iary flotilla to the imperial navy. All the yolunteer. steamers are so constructed and fitted as to be readily converted into fairly well armed and fest cruisers. The latest addition to the fleet is Vladimir, a vessel of 10,500 tons displacement and nineteen knots speed, which reached St. Petersburg last week from Denny Brothers’ yard at Dumbarton. There are now three other steamers of similar displacement, carrying capacity (390,000 poods), and speed under construction in British dock yards, and a fourth order has just been placed in Eng- land for a st2amer capable of running twenty knots. The first three vessels men- tioned are to be delivered early in the spring, and the last, which will be called the Kherson, is to be delivered about the end of next year. Last year the volunteer fleet made twelve trips to the far east; this year sixteen journeys are being made, next season twenty-one veyages will be accom- plished and in 1897 it is expected that thir- ty-six outward and homeward passages will be made by the increased flotilla. At present, and for some years past, the yol- unteer fleet association has been compelled to charter several foreign steamers as aux- illaries to meet the requirements. —— -—-se-- Pathetic Story of a Young Man. From Fourth Estate. A few weeks ago a young man bought a pair of socks containing a note saying the writer was an employe of the Kenosha, Wis., knitting works and wanted a good husband. She gave her name, and request- ed the buyer, if unmarried, to write with a view to matrimony. The young man who found the note considered the matter in all its phases, and then decided to write to the giri. He did. Awaiting with anxiety, he was at last rewarded with a curt letter, stating that the girl was now the mother of two children and had been married four years, and the letter had been written ever so long ago. It was a “sockdolager,” and the young man hunted for a solution. He found it. The merchant of whora he pought the socks doesn’t advertise. se. The Star Out of Town.

Called “Bad Man’s Fasktins Ground”— Hundreds of These Burning Moun- , tains in the State of California. California Letter to New York’ Times. A few lines in the press dispatches of the daily newspapers the other day, relative to the present season of unusual turbulence among the little volcanges "along the Lower Colorado river, in the lgnd of the Cecopah Indians, was the first intimation that thou- sands of American people had that a land of volcanoes exists within the domain of Uncle Sam. Indeed, there are compara- tively few Californians who have had an idea that within the borders of their own commonwealth there have heen, through countless ages, hundreds of ceaselessly ac- tive volcanoes and “‘fire spitters.”” None of these burning mountains, as the Mext- | cans and half-breed Indians know them, is so large as Vesuvius, to be sure, but fully as active and more noisy and restless. A party of adventure-seeking travelers have returned recently from a trip down the Colorado river from old Yuma to the Gulf of California. The exact situation of this region of vol- canoes is about 200 miles southwest of Yuma, and fourteen milea from where the Colorado river flows into the Gulf of Cali- fornia. The Cocopah and Yuma Indians call the country “Bad Man's Hunting Ground,” and not a redskin of any cf the tribes in the southwest can ever be in- duced to even visit that region. All In- dians are superstitious, and those in Ari- zona and northern Mexico believe that the land of the volcanoes is'the next door to hell itself. There are hundreds of legends and stories among the Pimas, Maricopahs and Cocopahs about the horrible beings that have, In ages past, come from among the volcanoes, to the injury of the Indians, and of the spirits of dead and wicked red- men that wander about down there in the sulphurous atmosphere, only waiting an opportunity to wreak vengeance upon some unsuspecting savage. The Impure Air. volcanoes is heavy with foul fumes, and only persons of strong lungs and throats can stand the odors, even ‘several miles away, for more than a few hours. When one has gone into the midst of the vol- canoes the smells are not only abominable, but very dangerous to any animal life, un- less there is a strong breeze blowing to carry the sulphur-laden air away. There are undoubted stories of persons who have ventured too far among the volcanoes, where the air was calm and heavy with the poison from the bowels of te earth, and who have died in a few minutes. Sev- eral years ago Prof. Smedley of Ontario College fitted up an apparatus whereby he could carry a rubber bag full of pure air, “while he was exploring among the liveliest of the volcanoes. In some way his device did not work when he had gone only 2004 yards into the valley of the fire spitters, and had he not been seen to stagger end fall by several companions, who, at the risk of their own lives, rushed in to his rescue, he would have died in a few min- utes. As it was, the whole party yas ill for a week or more from the effects of in- haling. the poison. so The first sight of the Iand7of voleanoes 1s one never to be forgotten. ~ The feeling as one gazes over an area of thirty miles un- der the hot, burning sun of the.desert, dot- ted everywhere by. literally thousands of hummecks and mounds,” and’ bhie | smoke | curling up from countless numbers of these and flames and particles 6f molten lava from others, is that here, indeed, is a literal inferno on earth. The mounds, or volcanoes, are of all sizes—from that of a hogshead up, to an eminence some 150 and 200 feet high. The majority of them are about 45: fect high and are 6) feet in circumference at the greatest point. Most of these lttie vol- canoes are active, and when they are not spitting forth vapors and lurid flames are boiling and stewing within, very much as a steam engine about to raise its safety valve. The noise of several thousand volcanoes ng and bubbling is not an 1 occurrence and fills the average the land of them with indeserib- ations. = A Dangerous Journey. “Bad Man's Hunting Ground” is reached only by a boat from Yuma down the Colo- rado river, The journey. can be made only at a certain season in the year, and then it is hazardous and requires expert naviga~ tton. The danger lies in the treacherous eddies and rapids of the Colorado, and then the route is not a certain one, owing to the unaccountable freak the little stream has of suddenly drying up when it is least ex- pected. The best time of year to get into this country is in May or the latter part-of- April, because later in the season it gets too uncomfortably hot down there. If the prospective traveler be a good boatman or canoeist he might be perfectly safe in at- tempting the trip by the Colorado down to the point where it meets the incoming stream, which, thus early in the year, is always dry. His craft he can safely leave moored to the banks of the Colorado, for in this country there are no roving bands of Indians or predatory boatmen to steal it. There are probably not fifty human beings in that whole region through any year. The journey across the intervening thirty nfiles of desert and mountain can be easily made by following the dry bed of the little river, which will bring one directly to the edge of the basin wherein lies, probably, the great- est natural wonder of this continent. It is well, though, before starting from the Celo- rado to provide one's self with a gallon or two of water, for there is absolutely none until the volcanoes are reached. ‘The most unusual curiosity in this strange, uncanny land by the Colorado river is what the naturalists in California call a lake of ink. Scientitic journals have discussed time and again what this lake of ink really is. It is a great pool of a black writing ink more than anything else. It is situated about half a mile from the large volcano just described, and Mes flush with the ground. It is about an acre in area. The surface of the lake is coated with ashes from the volcanoes to the thickness of about half a foot, and the explorer in those parts who is not looking out for this freak of nature would be very apt to walk into ft. Surveyors have found that the lake is some 300 yards deep in some places, and no bot- tom can be found in others. There is noth- ing but theory as to the source of the sup- ply for the lake, but no one seems to know the component parts of the acre of black fluid. The Indians say it is composed of the blood of bad Indians, who are suffering in their hell amid the volcanoes. Samples of the lake have been brought to Yuma and Los Angeles for tests and examination. It has been found good for eommon marking purposes. Cotton goods that have been soaked with the strange black fluid keep their color for months, even when exposed to the sun, and the goods have 4 stiffness that is somewhat like weak starch. able sez From the Chicago Tribune. A fact remarkable to our civilized women ig the one that Alaska squaws make their ages public.

When a girl marries her lower lip Is plere- ed and a neg of wood or a piece of bone the size of a pea is inserted.

Republican Politicians Consulting With Gen. Sewell—Grounds for Their Hope of Success. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAPE MAY, N. J., August 5, 1895. The republican state committee of New Jersey met in Newark yesterday and named Wednesday, September 18, as the date of the next state convention, at which a can- didate for governor will be named. Gen. William J. Sewell, United States Senator- elect, arrived home from Europe on the St. Louis Saturday, and came direct to his Cape May cottage. He had not been here long before representative republicans from all over the state came down to the shore to talk over political matters, and, if pos- sible, to get an interview with the man whose will is respected more among his party than any other man in the state. Though not magnetic, the general com- mands with a will that seems to be suc- cessful, at least for his own success, if not for those who follow. He, however, is a good adviser, and has political forethought rarely known to some who call themselves political statesmen. The general has not spoken, but everything appears to be walt- ing on his advice before the governor is named. The general was accompanied on his return by National Committeeman Gar- ret A. Hobart of this state, whom the gos- sips say can make the nomination. But he is not after it, for he has his eye, it is said, on a seat in the Seaate, and wants to succeed James Smith, jr. Ground for Republican Hope. New Jersey. republicans have many rea- sons upon which they are basing their hopes of electing a governor this fall. Last year the disgust all over the state at the continued rule of the democracy gave the republicans fifty-four out of the full assembly of sixty members, seven out of the eight senators and all of (ne eight Congressmen. ‘This year the fight will be on the governor, seven state senators, one- third of the body, and a full house of as- sembly of sixty members. The hold-over senate contains twelve Te- publicans and two democrats, and without election the body has a republican ma- jority. Of the assembly, under the present conditions, the democrats cannot hope to secure control. ‘nat, then, brings the fight squarely upon the governor. As he appoints all the judges of every class in the state, there being about sixty-seven of m, and all bul four are democrats, the republicans have prepare] an amendment to the con- stitution to make the judiciary elective, and that will be a matter Lo be settled. The governcr, during the next term, will have much patronaxe to give out, Including a secretary of state for five years at $5,000 per annum, an attorney general for five years at $7,000 a year, three supreme court justices at $9,000 a year, a clerk in chen- cery and a clerk of the supreme court, each for five yea and €ach of which secure nearly $20,00 the state prison for five years at $4,009, two railroad assessors at §',000 a year cach, and numerous petty judges, commissioners and prosecutors. In this state the people only elect a governor, and that officer, with the legislature, chooses every other officer down to the county prosecutors. Candidates on Both Sides, ‘The democrats, who have fared badly by the recent Lexowing of the state house machinery, are endeavoring to have Theo- dore Runyon, the present ambassador to Germany, or Chancellor McGill, or Supreme Court Clerk Benjamin F. Lee, accept the But all are re- juctant, and all have said “No” except Mr. Lee, who is the treasurer of the demo- cratic state committee. Their convention will be held September 12. On the republican side, the candidates so far anounced are ex-Senator John W. Griggs of Passaic county, Senator Foste: M Voorhees of Union county, ex-Con- gressman John Kean of Union county, ex- Mayor Frank Magowan of Trenton,’ and ex-Congressman George Hires of Salem county. The present governor, George T. Werts, defeated ex-Congressman Kean three years ago by 7,000 plurality, but last year the republicans carried the state on the congresstonal ticket »y 42,000, and on this principally they base their hopes of winning the governorship, which, if they ao. will be the first time since 1865, when Marcus L. Ward was elected. In 1880 Goy- ernor Ludlow was elected by a bare ma- jority of 651, which was the closest to the prize the republicans have been in thirty years. It is understood that Senator Sewell will favor elther Kean or Griggs. Voorhees was the New Jérsey Lexow chairman, and Was aroused the fre of the Germans of Newark, which would do him much harm. He ® a young lawyer, and a leader in the serate, having been previously a leader in the assembly. _Griggs fs a corporation law- r, Who Was a leader in the senate twenty ago, while Kean has a “barrel,” and would whoop up a campaign again. Frank Magowan, who was reputed to be a mil- lionatre, but who has‘by his strange actions during the past fortnight allowed his big marufacturing plants in Trenton to go into the hands of recetvers, is practically out of the race. Ex-Congressman Hires’ candi- dacy 1s supported by south Jersey entirely, and cannot be of much weight unless there should be a close fight between the other candidates, in which event Hires’ following could name the nominee by giving him their vote, and thus secure a claim for some additional patronage for the southern ae of the state. Kean or Griggs have the call. _—— ENFORCING THE LIQUOR LAWS. The Excise Board Making It Interest- ing for Saloon Men, “Washington has developed ‘nto a model city, as far as the liquor business is con- cerned, and other large cities would do well to emulate it,” said a prominent District official today. As a matter of fact, the excise board ts dealing out stern justice to the liquor men, and those who violate the law or regula- tions will find themselves confronted when the 1st of November rolls around with some knotty quesiions to answer before they get their licenses. The inspector is out every night and reports promptly to the board any dereliction on the part of liquor men. The excise board meets but cnce a month these days. The second Wednesday of each month is set aside to hear liquor questions. When the new license year rolls around more meetings will Le held. The hoard has determined not to issue any new licenses, and this -ule ts being strictly adhered to. —— Transfers of Real Estate. Deeds in fee have bcen filed as follows: John Kilmartin to Wm. J.

The City is Now Sufficiently Covered With Neighborhood Postal Facilities. ince Postmaster Willett entered upon his official duties last winter, the number of substations of the city post office within the Posial limits of Washington have been doubled, and there are now thirty-two in operation. The territory is considered as being fully covered in this respect by the Post Office Department authorities and Postmaster Willett, and no more applica- tions for the establishment of substations will be considered for several months at least. There has been an immense number of applications from all sections, and the decision of the authorities will probably cause much dissatisfaction on the part of numerous druggists and others, who wished to sell stamps and transact postal business at their places of business. ———— Bakers and Labor Day. Quite an interesting question has arisen between the boss bakers, che bakers be- longing to the local assembly and the drivers of the bakers’ wagons, in refereace as to how matters can be arranged so that the two latter organisations can take part in the Labor day parade and the public not be inconvenienced. A conference will be held today between representatives of the three bodies, in order to agree upon a plan which can be carried out without friction. The journey- men bakers have already Jetermined that they will not work at all on Labor day, and if this determination is adhered to there is a big obstacle in the way of a compromise, It has been suggested that the older em- ployes in the bakeries set the sponge at say 8 o’alock on the night before Labor day, and have the bakers begin work at mid- night. By that arrangement the drivers can deliver all the bread by 9 or 9:30 a.m., and while it would be a Ittle late the bread Would still be fresh. The drivers are especially anxious to do nothing to incon- venience their customers, but they are also desirous, and intend, to take part in the parade. ee Mgr. Satolli’s Trip.

He Excoriates His Opposers and Sayr He Will Be One Delegate and Name the Other Next Year. Terry Carson captured another republi- can meeting last night. A few evenings ago a gathering was called in Le Droit Perk by Ralph Wormley, John M. Lang- ston, C. P. Irley and others, and the infor- mation was secretly but sedulously spread that the opposition to Carson's candidacy for selection as a delegate to the next na- tional republican convention would be em- Phasized at it. The further announce- ment was made that as Le Droit Park was in Perry’s own district the Proposed open antagonism to him would be still more effective. There was a crowd present when the proceedings opered and the Promoters of the meeting thought they were going to have a field night. All of a sudden the creak of buggy wheels was heard and there was great commotion in the crowd. The auditors turned from the platform and its occupants and pushed back to where a big white hat was towering above a crowd of men. Then there was a chorus of “Car- Carson,” and that doughty leader was called on for a speech, In five minut he had the audience cheering for him with enthusiasm and swearing they would fol- low him to the last ditch if recessary. The Performance Repeated. Something very similar occurred last night in South Washington. A mass meet- ing had been calied to be held under the acspices of the Capital City Republican Club, on H street between 3d and 4% streets southwest. “Harmony” was sald to be the object of the meeting, just as it was t¢ one, been of the Le Droit Park affair, bul ‘arson’s political corpse was understood { be the definite object of the originators o! the movement. Asbury Jones was the pres- ident and A. F. Redman the Secretary, while on the platform were 8. E. Jones, G. W. Stewart, C. P. Irby, Ralph Wormley, Tillman Dorsey, W. C. Cox, Lewis Willis, Jemes W. Poe, all of whom were down to make addresses. After Messrs. Stewart, Irby, Wormiey and Willis had spoken, John A, Moss was called on, and began to talk District suffrage. Perry Carson meantime had made his appearance on the platform, and the crowd grew impatient to hear kim. Mr. Moss tried to continue, but the cries for Carson drowned his most stentorian ef- fcrts, and he sank back to give place to the redoubtable Perry. With one sweep of his big hand he se- cured quiet; with one stern glance at his antagonists on the platform he made them seem small and insignificant in the eyes of the big crowd. He proceeded to pitch inta the men who were managing the meeting in his characteristic way. Some Graphic Personalities. He alluded to them as mugwumps and toad fish, who were going about town puff- ing themselves up and looking ugly and important, and trying to scare people by pretending to represent some one. He said they were talking through their hats when they declared he would not go to the next republican convention. “Tl. go,” he asserted, “and I'll have something to say about who else shall go.” He said he knew every man tn the crowd, and had been with them all ever since the dark days of 1865. Hescalled scores of men in the audience by name, and recalled in- cidents of times gone by to their memories. During it all the enthusiasm was as in- tense as if it were a camp instead of a political meeting, and a powerful exhorter Was preaching. Men, women and children yelled and laughed by turns, and cheered fer Carson to catch their breath. There was _no cessation to the approval shown for Perry. As he closed he turned to the promoters of the meeting’ on the platform, and announced that they couldn't get up such meetings to fool -he people about him, because he would follow them around everywhere and expose them. At this the crowd simply went wild, and if a ballot had been taken for the favorite of the gathering for the presidency of the nation at that moment, Perry Carson would have received the unanimous vote. ——— Broke His Arm.
