C. II. Dakin, of Halifax. I In towu In the Interest of the Terminal City company, the chief object of which I to establish a new line of steamship on the Atlantic. It 1 claimed by tho company that the Voyage across lie Atlantic will be reduced to live day and possibly four when their new steamship, now being built on the Clyde, commence running.

This at llrst sight appears an Impossibility In view of the fact that the great line running to New York haveexbau. ted every plan that genius can devise fur making greater speed, but when the relative distances are considered tho realization of the scheme on hand appears more fcaMble. From Terminal City, Nova Scotia, to Llveriool Is only mile, while the distance from New York to Liverpool I 3,130 miles. The establishment of quick connection between Terminal City and New York at Montreal and other points, for which the company Is arranging, weans everything. If, by fast rail connection, the dlsUuce bu-tweou New York and Liverpool can be reduced to live day and the time between other point and the English metropoli correspondingly shortened there I little doubt of the complete success of the new routo.

Mr. Dakln say that all the space for light freight on the passenger boat ha l)ccn already bought by a largo Chicago shipper. JO llltiKIXJS. Dilllon and O'Brien Free Men Once More. CANNOT ACCEPT PAItNELL A3 THEIR LEADER.

til I ley, chairman of the Prohibi ti in party In Iowa, declare hi In teutfon to support the Uepublican ticket and says: "As prohibition Is now an Issue be tween the Republicans and Democrats during our pending state elec tion each member of the Iowa Prohi bition party who can recognize the Prohibition banner held up by the standard bearers of the Republican party will not be impeached for dis loyalty to the Prohibition cause If during this state campaign lie helps the Republicans In their avowed pur pose to maintain and enforce the pro hibition law of Iowa. Perhaps the most effective utterance on this subject is that of Mal colm Smith, of Poweshiek county, who two years ago ran for governor on the Prohibition ticket. He says in an open letter to the Rev. J. L.

Scott, of Montezuma: "After the direct challenge of the liquor power through the Democratic party in their own pi ltform, and the wanly way In which it was met by the Republican party In their Cedar Kapids platform, there was nothing else for me to do but to join hands with them In their campaign. When the lines were so sharply drawn I was and am In hopes that many of my former associates would see the matter in the same light. I think the question is as fairly before the peo ple now a it was when we bad the pleasure of voting for the amendment on June 27, 1883. I trust you and the other friend will see the matter In this light." IIKA YV RAIS IS ISDIA. Fifteen lnchei In 84 Hour Hundred! Are Drowned.

Signal Station, Milwaukee, July 30 A high barometer has developed over Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota and the Dakotas. This heavy, clear and cxhilerating air, overlying, and to the west of us is an element that can nearly always be counted on to give us from one to three" days of fine waather; In this case, today and Friday may be considered sure. Showers, very beneficial to growing crops, have fallen over Wisconsin during the past twenty-four hours; they will do much temporary good, while not In themselves being suffi cient to wholly relieve the drought conditions of the eastern and central portions of the state. Light frost occurred last night over extreme northern Minnesota and northeast portion of North Dakota; the minimum temperature falling to 36 degrees on the north coast of Lake Superior.

It is now pretty well understood that the colonel will remain at his home at Hudson. Holidays at Ltverpool. Liverpool, July 30. Saturday and Monday next will be holidays In tho jraiu markets hero. ha never disappointed tho ob server or skipped a display on time since It ws discovered.

It hclirbt durlim a display I from 100 lo 2i0 feet, and each riif tion last four minute. The Bee Hive Is thfiuet geyer of the lot when it goes off, but It period are uncertain and lu coming display I only announced by a an Indicator or tuiall opening twenty feet away which send up a thin purt of steam for half an hour previous to every eruption. It send straight column of water over 'i00 feet high and It peculiar cone-shaped crater give a round aud clearcut shape to it ascending column of wat r. It liai had an eruption every twenty-five hours for the pant three day, but it was inactive during the preceding ten day. So It Is that all visitor to the paik are not sure of seeing this, the handsomest geyser In the group.

The display when the eruption takes place lasts eight Then there I Splendid, the Giant and Giantess, the Turbine and the Grand, the Lion and Llone and half a dozen more that have eruption when they get ready and without any regularity or stated period of display. Eruption from thee may take place at almost any minute in the day, and there are day at a time without eruptions from any of them. A most Interesting geyer calleii the Castlo is peculiar In this, that when It does go off It si lids up a mammoth column of wat for twenty uiii.ute. followed by a monstrous emission of steam lasting forty-five minute, se-companied by a roaring noi-e that sound like distant thunder. There are other geyser of wonderful culiii ities and of uncertain eruption which it will coii.strne too much space to mention.

We wer especially tor-tunate today In witnessing more eruptions during our stay of six hours at Upper Basin than fall to the lot of most visitors; and whether this unusual display wa for the benefit of the editorial party can only be determined by consulting the engineer lu charge. We witnessed five eruptions of Old Faithful, an eruption of Splendid, an eruption of Bee Hive, the graudest of all, and an eruption jf the Castle and also the Grotto, to ay nothing of Little Faithful and the smaller geyser which pale Into insignificance beside the one mentioned. And to cap the climax It so happened that the Bee Hive. Old Faithful, and the Castle all went off at the same time; and as they are not far apart and all can be seen from any point on the formation, the display wa most wonderful' to behold and little less than sublime in the picture it presented. It is said to be the first time within the memory of those In authority that these three principal geysers have erupted at the same instant.

It was a coincidence that may not happen again in a long time. A peculiarity of many of the geysers is that a bar or two of soap dropped Into the craters is sure to cause an eruption. The reason of this Is not explained but the fact is vouched for. The boiling water in the crater is whipped into foamy suds, which seems to lighten the hydrostatis pre-sure and to cause the eruption to take place with whatever Internal force that may have already accumulated. Soaping a geyser, however, disturbs Its its regularity and is said to Injure it, and we were informed that several geysers had been ruined by being soaped.

To protect them from this soaping by impatient visitors who would not wait for the periodical display, soldiers have been placed on guard to prevent molestation. The effect of soap on a geyser is said to have been discovered In this way: A Chinaman erected a laundry tent over one of the boiling craters to wash clothes in. As soon as the soap used in washing took effect, an eruption took place, sending the Chinaman's teut and outfit galley west. That geyser has ever since been known as The Chinaman. Whether this story is literally true may be doubted, but it is told in good faith by the guides and attaches of the park.

On the other hand, it was declared that Ice put in the crater of a geyser would retard Us eruption, although the display would be por-tionately "greater when the eruption did occur. We leave tomorrow on the circle eastward to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone river and the falls therein, which are pronounced really the most enchanting of all the won ders of this Wonderland. Bowron. New German Consul. Chicago.

July 30. The Chicago Gorman consular district, and which is the largest in the country, comprising as it does North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota. Wis consin, Iowa and Illinois, has a new consul in the person of Hon. K. Banz.

lie Is comparatively new to the consular service, his experience having been limited to a two years' consulship at Port-au-Prince and six months with the consulate at New York. Some little time ago Baron Nordeu-flycht, for many years German consul for this district and who was the dean of tho consular service, left for a visit to his old home. He failed to return and advices from Germany say that his connection with the United States has been severed and that he is now acting as counsellor in the depart ment oi foreign affairs of the kaiser's government. It is reported also that Dr. Arendt, vice-consul under the baron, will also shortly be recalled.

She is Not Married. The report wa current to-day that Miss Elfie Derby had been married secretly. An investigation proves the report false. The only foundation for the report wa that a minister called at Mjss Derby's home, on busi ness while a young man was at the house to escort iss Derby to a party. Interested neighbors saw the clergyman go to the house and the carriage leave afterwards with Miss Derby and the gentleman and they started the story of a secret marriage.

'OLD FAITHFUL" AND ITS TROUPE OF BP0UTER3. Dencrlptloa of the Ueysera. Sprlus and lieantllul I'oola lu Yellowstone 1'ark, Three (ieyner Playing at Oaee-The Hulling- Palut Pot and Hell' Half Arre-Tue Curious StoiieftMarveU by MaoiiUg-lit. FouxTAi.f IloihK, Lower Oeystr Basin, Yellowstone Park, July "Thl I Indeed Ood's country, thn hand of man had so little to do with It," remarked a lady from Alabama as she gazed In wonderment upon the marvels that confronted today. But, Judging from the exhibitions that have been proferred us, one would be led to the Inference that tils satar.lc majesty occupied the box, and that the orthodox admission that there I no hell wa a premature modification of the once stereotyped belief.

To see scalding water boiling up lu a thousand varicolored craters; to lines half a dozen of the largest gejer known spout their hot water from 100 to 200 feet Into the air with a force that would drive a dozen saw mills each; to behold piiiar of steam shoot up Into the atmosphere In huge volumes with the roar of thunder; to look down crater and holes and hear the deep bass rumbling that seemed to come from the stomach if not the bowel of the earth; to witness and hear these and many other varieties of similar phenomena, I enough to fortify ihe conclusion that there l.i a small sec tion of hell on earth and that that small section Is located lu Yellowstone Park. We see and smeil the brimstone and we behold the wonder ful results of the fire. That a lake of fire and brimstone Is beneath us there is no question, however we may disagree on the point a to whether man's eternal punishment finds lodg ment in so literal an adaptaion of things real aud terrestrial. We have today finished the geyser basins in ali their glory and mysterious gran deur. Besides Norris Basin, twenty-two miles back, of which I wrote in a previous letter, there are two basins of geyser formation what Is known as the Lower Geyser Basin and the Upper Geyser Basin.

The main at traction at the Lower Geyser Basin i the beautiful geyser called The Fountain, about a quarter of a mile from the hotel, and the Paint Pots, a few rod beyond. The Fountain plays every two hours, and of its peculiar kind I one of the finest in the park. It sends its water up perhaps forty feet, but in rather a spreading, fan-like shape that is less awe-inspiring than several witnessed later in the Upper Bajin. Guests at the hotel sit up to see it by moon light, when the spectacle is very pretty indeed. But what Is far more interesting in this Lower Basin is what is called the Paint Pots.

If you should takebucketsor bowlsof rather thickly mixed paints of different colors and place them in a large round pan on the stove and heat them to a boiling or rather a bubbling point, you would have. In a homely, crude and miniature way, something resembling these Paint Pots. A large crater, probably forty feet in diame ter, i filled with smaller craters, ail containing a substance which is as near like paiut as it Is possible to make an imitation. The colors vary from a pure white to a dark brown, and they go on boiling and bubbling forever, as though in preparation for the painter's brush, and the substance can actually be handled like "paint, and when daube on a board or a piece of rock acts like paint, except that when dry It is easily rubbed off in which particular, however. It may not differ so much from Oshkosh paint as it might.

Several pots in the vicinity are dried up, leaving their contents in a cooled state. This ccoled product of the pots as about the consistency of Limburger cheese and can be cut easily with a knife. Tho next trip was to the Upper Geyser Basin, seven miles distant.but on the way the stage halts for an inspection of Hell's Half Acre, along side the Firehole river. This point of interest is well named, for in the center of a bank of formation about twelve feet above the river bank and stretching back on a level for half a mile Is a sink huleor crater about 200 feet lu diameter with perpendicular sides of rock, half filled with boiling water sending up a volume of steam aud vapor that obstructs any view of the crater more than a few feet from its banks. It Is from this immense hole or crater that the Excelsior geyser shoots when It Is active.

Its period of activity is one yearin ven, and its last activity of consequence was in 1888. It is expected to be active again in 1895. When active this I the largest geyser in the world. In 1888 scientists measured It with instru ments, so that its dimensions were accurately oblained. During Its dis plays, which were spasmodic, it sent a pillar of water twenty-two feet in diameter, 410 feet into the air, and tho volume of water that flowed from it at each eruption raised the Fire- hole river nine Inches, and heated the whole river to au unbearable degree for a mile and a half down stream and the Firehole is no incon siderable liver.

Prismatic lake, be ing a boiling lake of hot water a few hundred feet distant is all that the name implies. But, passing briefly Hell's Half Acre, 1 will take the reader to the grandest and most wonderful geyser displays in the whole park those of the Upper Geyser Basin. Here, Indeed, is the pyrotechnic exhibition of the park, if it may be so termed as applied to hot water and steam. I will not attempt any detail of this marvelous group of active geysers, boiling springs, pools, and paint pots. All these in numer- our duplications are thickly situated in a geyserite formation about two miles in length and half a mile wide.

As tho geysers are the principal a'- traction here and overshadow all or! er points of interest, 1 will men tion but a few of the active ireyseis tl a' are depended upon for the enter Mr. Itepurled to He In Mood Health anil Able to Work. VTaumxotox, July 30 Mr. A. L.

Maine will not be equal to any duty be may have to perform for ten years yet. He says that Mr. Blaine I not a caudidate for the presidency, and will not do anything to put himself In that attitude, but he will not decline the nomination If it should come to him as an expression of the popu lar sentiment without hi seeking it Mr Conger say Hlalne Is loyal to Harrison. CRUELTIES IS RUSSIA. Mora ritlful Stories Told by Ilefugei at Boston.

To thk Ekitor: Will you please tell the reader of Thk Nortiiwkst-kbn If It i possible for the Oshkosh ball team to win the peunant. I think that Appleton ha a tolerably sure hold on the even a I write, for my philosophy Is this: Tee state league schedule contemplates ninety game.

Of this number Appleton has played 54 and Oshkosh 51; consequently the former team must play 30 more and the latter 39. Granting that Appleton wins 18 of it remaining 36 games, which Is exceedingly probable, Oshkosh must capture 21 out of 3i) to be even with the present leaders of the league. Can our team do it? Appleton Pwt: Oshkosh I now kicking on Umpire Dunn and I endeavoring to have him released. His decisions yesterday did not satisfy the Indian at all. It would to more manly of Oshkosh and Green Bay to admit their Inability to play ball rather than to resort to the childish act of crediting their defeats to the Mesrs.

Kilpatrick, Dunn and Clark have always given satisfaction here and citizens have never had occasion L-ielf vpn thnnffli th.ir team WAS defeated. The meeting of the stockholders and directors of the Fond du Lac association brought out reports which are very encouraging as to the financial outlook, and an extra effort will be made to secure subscriptions to place the association out of The directors are in earnest in this matter, as the club in the field will show up a better ball or something will dp. Umpire Kilpatrick had heard of Greeu Bay flies before he came to this part of the state, but was never tormented by them until he started umpiring for the Wisconsin league. He has a little remedy, however, proves very effeotive In scattering them. One of the most exciting ball game of the season will be played next Monday afternoon.

The county officials challenged the city officials who promptly accepted the challenge. The game will be for the benefit of St. Mary's hospital. Manager Murray Is no more In love with Umpire Kilpatrick than Oshkosh is. He says that Kilpatrick favored the Appleton In every game there this week and that one game Green Bay lost was deliberately stolen by Kilpatrick.

The new player, Hill, Is a strong hitter and a splendid fielder. He did not have an error In the three. Fond du Lac games. Davis, the new pitcher for Apple-ton, made a good Impression at Appleton notwithstanding that he was a trifle wild. The Fond du Lac Reporter says the general opinion is that Fond du Lac, Oshkosh or Appleton will win the peunant.

Gibbs and Martin are the battery for Oshkosh today, and Green and Boreland for Green Bay. While Ike has not been released, It is understood that he will not Join tho club again. Egan has been appointed captain of the Oshkosh team In the place of Ike. naif the schedule games of tho state league have been played. Marinette has signed a catcher named Brandenburg.

Umpire Dunn will umpire the Green Bay series here. Umpire Dunn says ho is disgusted and will resign. The Green Bay team is stopping at the Athearn. Fo.vd du Lac, July 30 Eain stopped the game yesterday at the end of the, third inning. Had It not, Oshkosh would probably have added another victory to its list.

Favour was very effective, while the Oshkosh boys were hitting Donnelly hard. The score, when the game stopped, was 4 to 2 In favor of Oshkosh. Railroad In Trouble.
