The Territories and Staies.
Ni.w Yona, January ‘-M.—A Washing
ton special says: Last week Senator
Voorhees introduced u bill to admit
Washington i'erritory as a state, and
yesterday lie introduced a bill to admit
Montana. Ihe Senator was asked if he
intended to make the admission of Da
kota conditional on the admission of
Montana, ns it lias been reported the
Democrats were disposed to do. He re
plied; "lean speak only for miself. I
think the best arrangement we can make
is to admit Dakota. Montana and Wash
ington together. They must all come in
soon, anti they might as well come now.
I can't see how we can prevent Dakota
coming in. She has a voting population
of Sil,ooo, and is certainly entitled to ad
mittance. 1 thought at tint Hint 1
should oppose the division of Dakota,
but 1 do not see how I can. The 'I ern
tory has an area of five times my own
state, anti South Dakota Will be about
as large as Ohio and Indiana. Montana
lias a voting population of 260,1X10 ami
W asbington a voting population of 40,-
1100. There are not 15 congressional dis
tricts in tlie country with the population
of Washington, and not a hundred witli
t hat of Montana. Dakota is Bepubiican,
Montana is Democratic, and I am confi
dent will remain so. Washington is
close, and may be won by either party.
If she comes into the Union by Demo
cratic votes, under a Democratic admin
istration, our chances in the new Slate
will be all the better. It seems to me
mileh the best plan to take in these three
territories at once. They are entitled to
it, and. politically, it will be as fair and
practicable an arrangement as can be
made.”
Several prominent Democrats are re
ported as agreeing with Mr.Voorhees.
Mr. Springer expresses the opinion
Hint the House Committee on Territories
will report favorably on the division and
admission of Dakota, unless the party
shall hold a caucus upon the subject.
In that event, it Is his opinion that the
decision would be adverse.
In the Coke Regions.
STOXKMLI.E, l’a., January 20.—The
situation has assumed an alarming phase
in tlie coke regions. I'his morning 300
strikers, armed witli bars, eoke forksand
revolvers, started on the march. They
drove the men from work at tlie "Alice''
and charged Warden's coke yard at this
place. Then the Mayfield mid Donnelly
mines a mile west of here was visited.
A boy, named Metzer. was terribly
beaten, and three yard bosses al Mu
< aba's were chased and hammered.
Every oven was crushed in. The rioters
have gone across the country towards
tlie Rising Sun Works. The greatest
trouble is yet to come. Saturday will be
pay day. and on Monday the ten days
will have expired since notice to quit
was given to strikers in company houses,
'there will likely be serious trouble
when ejectment is attempted. Tlie re
port that the Governor lias been called
upou for aid is untrue. Sheriff Stewart
says he will not send until he finds him
self unable to cope with the disturbing
elements.
Two Men and One Woman.
I.AWKKNt kmm.e, Ga.. January 20.—
Yesterday, Dr. A. 8. Reviere. a well
known physician of this place, secured
from the ordinary of Logansville. a li
cense to marry Miss Octavia Nash, of
that place. As he was passing out of
the ordinary's office he was passed by
by Mr. John Jackson, who had secured
a license to marry the same lady. Dr.
Reviere mounted his horse and giving
it the spurs, started out at full gallop
for the lady’s home. Five minutes later
Jackson was mounted and in full pur
suit of the doctor. The men rode furi
ously, but the Doctor having five min
utes the start, was married to the girl
by the time his rival reached the scene.
It seems that she was engaged to both,
and had named the day and hour for
each to appear as her groom. Not until
the licenses were issued had the two
men found out the true state of affairs.
Striking Cigarmakers.
New York, January 20.—Nine thous
and cigarmakers and other employ ees of
tlie league employed by the < igar Man
ufacturers' Association are idle to day.
The direct cause of the trouble is the re
fusal of the employees of Levy Brothers
to declare their strike ngainst the new
uniform price list ofi'and return to work.
The employees banded together to resist
this demand. By to-morrow packers in
all the shops will have joined the strikers.
The strike extends to the cigarbox-mak
ing trade. When the packers quit work
the number on the strike will have been
swelled to over 10.000. The strikers say
they have enough money to hold out for
six months.
She Knew Her Papa.
A little girl, aged nine, callsd her fa
ther to her bedside the other evening.
"Papa,” said the little diplomat, "I
want to ask your advice.” "Well, my
little dear, what is it about?” "What do
you think it would be best to give me
on my birthday?”—[Buffalo Commereinl

New Opera House.
A meeting look place yesterday,
which resulted in the organization of
tlie San Antonio Club and Opera House
Company. Judge T. J. Devine was
elected President, W. H. Maverick,
treasurer, and L. S. Berry, secretary.
The next meeting of thia company will
be held on the first Tuesday in Febru
ary, when a site for tlie new Club and
Opera House will be definitely decided
on. The choice has resolved itself into
two pieces of property, both of which
cost $22,(100 to secure. The first, ami
possibly the most favorable location is
that site controlled by Mr. A. Maverick,
at the corner of East Houston and Na
varro street. This site would allow a
spacious and commodious building to
be erected and is desirably situated,
from tlie fact that it is in a central
portion of the city, and has easy access
either from College. Navarro or Houston
streets, and commands the whole of the
stieet car system. In the event of this
site being selected, it is proposed to
build two stores facing Houston street
and also an arcade leadisg to an entrance
of the theafe, the main approach to
w hich would be on Navarro street The
second and third doors would be occu
pied permanently by the San Antonio
Club, and about 20 dormitories would lie
added for the accommodation of club
members, 10 on each side of the arcade,
and over it. On tlie purchase of this
site. Mrs. Vance has agreed to donate
$lOOO and to take $6OOO in shares.
't he other location is situated on Alamo
Plaza, on the west side, at the corner of
the Crockett street continuation. The
greater portion of thia lot is the proper
ty of Messrs. Adams & Wickes, who will
sell their interest for $12,000. Tlie cor
ner portion of the lot (formerly Morris'
saloon) Is owned by a Mexican family,
who will release their title to It for
$lO,OOO. Messrs. Adams A Wickes have
consented to take $7500 in shares if the
company completes negotiations with
them.
Both these sites are good ones, but Hie
Maverick property is undoubtedly the
more favorable of the two. There is no
institution the city more needs than an
opera bouse, and the enterprise of the
newly organized company is lo lie com
mended anil fostered.

from Colima, stating that during the

explosion in Hie volcano, preceded as
before by strong detonations. Enot
nious stones were thrown to great

city of Colima. 25 miles distant. Photo
graphs by the instantaneous process
were taken, exactly depicting the vol
cano in the moment of its greatest ac
tivity. A vast white cloud overhangs
the crater, on which tlie flumes below
reflect Hieiuselves in the most beautiful

Cold Weather in Florida

specting the severe weather says: On
the morning of the 12th of January the
thermometer registered 15 above zero,
the lowest temperature ever recarded,
except In January, 1815. when mercury
fell to 11 degrees. The injury to the
present crop of oranges cannot, as yet,
be estimated, but the probability is that
it will be between sl.soo,oooand $2,000.-

trees are killed.

You are my sister's new beau, are i on.
The one she caught at the ball ?
1 heard her telling my mamma so,
Just as she came through the hall.
She says you are awfully stupid.
And you can not dance at all;
It's just because you are rich. I guess,
Made you the "cutch” at tlie ball.
And she says that when you ure married
She’ll tench you a thing or two ;
I don't think I'd be taught by u girl.

lilh foot on it in order to luce the shoe,

you a question?”
"Certainly,” replied the other. “Go

“I am.”
"Then shake hands.”
“But why do you ask me ?”
"I saw your suspender buttons tly off:
