The third in the course of lectures, de- scribing a trip from Paul, Minn., to Alaska, under the auspices of the National Geographic Society, was delivered at Metzerott Hall yesterday afternoon, and, despite the very unfavorable weather pre- vailing, Mr. James Fletcher of Ottawa, Canada, was listened to by a very large au- dience. Mr. Fletcher conducted the party from the Canadian National Park to the Pacific. He was introduced by President Gardiner G. Hubbard of the society, and his lecture was exceedingly interesting. Next Monday afternoon Lieut. A. P. Nib- lack, U. 8. N., will take the party from Puget Sound to Sitka, Alaska. Mr. Fletcher first. described the great plains, which are traversed ’in reaching th. mountains, disabusing the mind of his au- dience that they are generally a brown and seared appearing waste. On the con- trary, he remarked that these plains have an indescribable charm about them at all times, especially when they seem to be one immense field of waving grain. They are al other times seen as a sea of grass and gorgeous flowers, some-of the grasses grow- ing shoulder high, and in the flowers being seen many of the common garden flowers growing in luxuriant wildness and beauty. One of the most beautiful of the flowers, he thought, is the Arkansas rose. But many other roses are to be seen, and among the most striking flowers are the Lazing star, the orange lily, the golden aster, many acres being covered at a time by a single variety. The trees found in the mountains were also described by Mr. Fletcher, and in one of the fallen giants of t forest, he remarked, that after the burning of Vancouver some years ago the city council held their meetings for a while. The Vancouver woods, by the way, are of almost tropical luxuriance, he said, and ferns are found growing there twenty or more feet high. In the mountains the sum- mer is short, the season lasting about three months, and in that time innumerable but- terflies live their short lives. Clouds of them may be seen at times blown across wastes of snow and ice, down chasms thousands of feet, from which they make their way back. The ruggel beauiy and grandeur of the Rocky mountains were graphically pictured, and referring to the scented woods of the Selkirk mountains, Mr. Fletcher explained that it came from a flower, which by itself gave forth an odor not unlike that emitted by a little animal of decided unpopularity. Speaking of the mountain forests, he mentioned the fact that fires are yearly despo'ling them. The Canadian government sought to preserve as much as possible the beauty of these forests and mountain tracts by inelosiz them in national parks. The salmon eries on the Fraser river fete de: some idea of their almost ustibility being given by the lectui vhen he stat- ed that in a single day 300.00) salmon are taken. Like the preceding lectures, Mr. Fletch- ers was illustrated by a large number of splendid views shown on a great screen. In concluding bis lecture, he advised every one who contemplated such a trip to take it during the summer, of course, but not later than the Ist of August, if possible. —.——_ The Gypsy Revivalist. The evangelistic services be'ng conducted by Rev. Rodney Smith, the gypsy revival- ist, in the Metropolitan M. E. Church are growing in interest. A chorus of thirty volunteers, under the leadership of George E. Armstrong, assisted in the sing:ng at last night's service, and a brief period of praise preceded the preaching. Mr. Smith last night -inve'ghed against certain worldly pleasures, denouncing card play- ing, dancing, theater-going and other amusements which he termed questionable. There was some earnest exhortation to live with less thought for pleasure, and while the whole congregation knelt, at the evangelist’s suggestion, a number went for- ward to the altar rail and requested his prayers for their salvation.

A Telegram Received by Representa- tive Maguire Giving Expression to the Views of That Body. Representative Meguire yesterday re- ceived the following telegram from San Francisco, signed by T. H. Gould, chair- man of the California democrat'c state cen- tral committee, and will endeavor to have it :ead to the House: The democratic state central committee adopted the fellowing resolutions yesterday without a dissenting vote: Whereas there are now pending before the Congress of the United States certain measures intended to refund the indebted- ness of the Central Pacific Railway Com- paay; and Whereas it has been asserted goiter then pred and elsewhere that of the people’ of the state o! Calitorme a “aid in favor of such refunding; therefore be it Resolved, T! we, a8 members of the democratic state central committee of tke state of California, voicing the sentl- ment of the democracy of the state, de- clare that so far as the democratic party is concerned it is practically a unit against sich refunding measure; and we further declare that the democracy of this state is in favor of compelling the Central Pacitic Railroad Company and all other corpora- Uons to discharge their, honest obligations to the government in like manner as pri- vate individuals are compelled to discharge their obligations to one another; that we dencunce the so-called equities” of the Southern Pacific Company which have been voiced by members of that corpora- tion and its hirelings for more than twenty years in the state as a stupendous fraud, only calculated to catch the ears of the sroundlings; and be it further Resolved, That the democratic state cen- tral committee of the state extepd their thanks to the members of Congress and Senators from the state who have faithfully kept their obligations to the people, and they also extend their thanks to the eight members of the state senate of the state of Kentucky who voted to repeal a charter which permitted the Southern Pacific Com- pany of Kentucky to prey upon every state and territory except their own. ————e Fractured His Arm, Capt. J. M. Hiatt sustained a fracture of the left arm by slipping on one of the steps at the Capitol yesierday.
