That night we heard a rambling noise and the smo’- returned much thicker, •nd that night from the mountain tops we could plainly see the flame shooting up. The volcano appeared to be about forty miles away, and located in Mexi can territory. The flames were not high above the level of the desert, and ap peared to come from a pit-hole."

Despite the well known fac that a discussion of the tariff is mainly & matter of comparison of sta tistics and figures, that it is in its es sential features but a presentation of apparently irrefutable, yet totally ir reconcilable views, the galL ries were well crowded long before the hour of the openmg, and tbe public interest manifested in the debate was greater than on any previous day of the session. To R< p-esentative Blount, of Geor gia, a clear-headed parliamentarian of twentv years of Congressional experi ence, was awarded the honor by the Speaker and the Committee on Ways andMe&nsof presiding over the de liberations of the Committee of the Whol», and when he wearied now and then of his arduous labors, Representa tive Kilgore, the giant statesman of Texas, was calied on to assume the gav el. In the days cf long political wran gling that are to Mlow in tbe Com mittee of the Whole, Speaker Crisp will fled the respite that he has so much desired Today he occupied a seat in tbe galleries, and was as interes ted an auditor as any of the two thousand visiters who bent eagerly forward to catch every word of the partisan ora tions of the day. The w-ll-crowded newspaper g tiler ies attested tbe publio int rest tbat is being felt in the discussion of the issues now before tbe House, and tbe little group that gathered in the diplomatic gallery showed that this interest in the revenue question and the t ttempt at modification of the existing tariff laws is shared by some of tbe nations across tbe waters. But the crowning indica tion cf tha importance of the discussion was in the deep attention whioh tbe members themselves gwe to the two speakers who represented the two great mrties on the question for solution, luring the opening speech cf Repre sentative McMillin, Representa tive Burrows. of Mich igan, ar d a few cf his leading Republi can colleagues vac ited their seats and gathered on the Democratic Bide to be near the Tennessee gentleman as he ar raigned their party from a Democratic standpoint and d f-tided the justice of the Springer wool bill and the various measures rep >rted from the Ways and M* ans Committee to reduce The duties on imports. When Representative Ding’ey, of Maine, although not a mem ber of the Ways and Means Committee, opened the discussion on behalf of the Rt public in side, no less was the flstter- ng attention paid to him and bis argu ments by his Democratic opponents Ur. McMil'in, »s might have been expected, devoted hi« attention to a re view of tbe McKinley law and its effect upon commerce, the industries and the wage-workers of the country, and Mr. Dinglay naturally sought to defend and justify that law and insisted that the highest commercial wisdom justified it3 perpetuity. Sea&tor Carlisle, under whose leader ship as Speaker of past Democratic, Houses the larifl debate in this latter half of the ceotury was revived, found the occasion one of such charm that he left that seat in the upper body to which he has been called by the Bluegrass State, and was an attentive listener to the eloquent arguments of Representa tive McMillin. No less vigilant was tbe attention with which ex- SpoakerReed noted every argument, not only of his friend, but of bis politi cal opponeut as well, and now and then there was a twinkle.in his eye as he doubtess meditated on and stored away in his memory a response to be made to the Democratic arguments when hi* day should come. Both the speakers were frequently applauded by tneir p irty colleagues, and as each man resumed his seat he was the recipiei t cf warm e-ngra: illations and a bouquet of mammoth prr p ntion?. Are CENTRAL SECURITIES They Ever as Good Now as Were. The Augusta Chronicle says edi torially : There is no good reason why the hol ders of Central stock cr bonds should become apprehensive about the value of their securities and fores them on the market. They are as good now and worth as much as they ever were. The fact that the Central Railroad has been placed in the hands of a receiver does not militate agaist the value of the property. The road is not bankrupt and is hot likely to become so. * The lessees have met their obTgitions by paying the interest on the bondsana the guaranteed interest on tbe stock. True, there were-at first some compli cations and differences growing out of misunderstandings about some matters in dispute between some of the directors of the Central and tbe management of the Richmond and Danville. The faot remains, however, that the Central is in tbe hand* of a receiver, not bee luse it is bankrupt but because a minority stockholder apprehends less from an exchange of securities that may or may not take place. The Central to one of the most valua ble and solvent railroad properties in the South. It to now in the hands of Gen.E. P. Alexander as receiver. He was and to still its president. The stockholders frequently elected him to manage its affairs. There is no ques tion that he will manage it as faithfully and efficiently as receiver as he did as president. Therefore, there is no nec essity for any minority stockholder to sacrifice his or her stock, ltisasgiod today as it ever wqp. BUlous or XAvrr Com-1 ' dvkby one In need ol lnfornatlon on the eub- .

A NEW ROAD That May be Run Out From Lexington. The last issue of the Oglethorpe Echo has some interesting rai road reading a* follows: As will be seen from a notice of amendment of the charter of the Lex ington Blue Granite Company, which appears elsewhere, there is a probabil ity of Lexington being connected by rail.with the Georgia, Carolina and Northern railroad. It may be some time first, *but the new company will not be very long, we predict, in realizing tbe necessity of competition in freights and will proceed at once to secure it. This, of course, will depend upon the amount of stone they dispose of and have to ship. Whenever that reaches an amount suf ficient to make the difference which competition in rates will secure tbe company enough to pay interest on the necessary sum to.build such road above running expenses, the company will lose no time in building the road. The company has the financial backing to do so at any time. The advantages of this road to Lex ington and vicinity will be great. Of course it will haul all manner of freight besides granite. It will create compe tition in freight rates to both of the main markets of this section—Athens and Atlanta. We will be twenty miles mesrer Atlinta by this route, and be in direct connection with the Northern and Eastern markets. No line so short coul l hardly be possible of such great beneficial results as this. It will be about fifteen miles long. Thayer I* Not Satisfied. Lincoln, Neb., March 9.—The gu bernatorial farce will be continued.

Tbe grounds of the action are under stood to be that the question of Boyd’s citizenship, and therefore his eligibility to hold office, has not been definitely settled, and that it remains for the state supreme court to construe the opinion properly.
