Chicago, III., June It With the ex ception of the huge barn on the lake front, called a wigwam for want of a better name, there are few signs vet that Chicago is to be the scene of a national convention next week. And even this building is without a roof since the storm of last night, and those superstitious Republicans who objected to a nomination on Friday can offset that feature with the misfortune that has over taken the Democratic Convention hall, even before it is occupied. Hundreds of men are hard at work and it is expected that by laboring night and day, the structure will be again under roof and complete in all respects by the close of the week. The hall is larger than the one at Minneapolis and will hold 20,000 people. As convention honors were thrust on Chicago, the local committee figures on having 6,000 tickets at its disposal, which, at 20 a piece, will enable the Chicago Com mittee to build, furnish and tear down the wigwam and defray all incidental expenses. By the terms of agree ment the wigwam is to be torn down and the debris removed 15 days after the con vention adjourns. 'Bat it is expected that enough will be realized from salvage to uni form all the campaign clubs of the Democ racy that will be organized in Chicago this year, thus combining entertainment with profit in true Chicago fashion. The build ing is 500 feet long and 350 feet wide. Hearers Are Hard at 'Work Though there are practically no delegates yet on the scene, the figurere are already at work. To-day a table was given out which purports to show that Hill has 336 votes acainst 453 for Cleveland and the balance scattering. To obtain this result the New Tork Senator is credited with 8 votes in Pennsylvania, G in Kansas, 8 in Tennessee, and so on through a list of State delegations which were instructed to vote as a unit and which are confidently expected to go solid ly for the ex-President. An analysis of the delegates already elected and the indication as to the few still to be chosen fails to show that Hill will have 800 votes at any stage of the proceedings, let alone on the first bal lot. Secretary Sheerin, of Indiana, is here as the representative of the Democratic National Committee. He is for Cleveland, but declines to express any personal opinion as to the ticket, saying the duty of the National Committeemen at present is simply to make arrangements for the Con vention. The sub-committee having charge of the arrangements will meet Friday. It is com posed of Chairman Calvin S. Brice, of Ohio; Secretary S. P. Sheerin, of Indiana; Sena tor Gorman, of Maryland; Michael Dolan,of Minnesota; O. T. Holt, of Texas,and Arthur Sewell, of Maine. Meetings of the Committees. After the meeting, the committee reports will be received from the local committee and a general conference will be held. The full meeting of the National Committee will be held Monday. The Bub-committee, headed by Mr. Hanson, of North Carolina, has been appointed to select the temporary officers of the Convention. Adlai Steven eon, of Illinois; Henry "Watterson, of Ken tucky; ex-Governor Campbell, of Ohio and Governor Abbett, of New Jersey, have been mentioned for Temporary Chairman. F. M. Schell, of South Carolina, is the first delegate to arrive from that section of the country. He is rather of the idea that no New York candidate will be named, and says: "I have the utmost faitb in the wisdom of the dele gates who will assemble here June 21. I am satisfied that the delegates from the South will not attempt to boom any candi date, but will leave it to the doubtful States to settle on a candidate who will be accepti ble. Mr. Cleveland is not personally strong in the South, but, if the New York delegates say they will support him if nominated, his candidacy will be acceptable to the delegates from my section. If, on the other hand, the New York men say they will not support Mr. Cleveland, in my opinion the nomina tion will either go to Gorman or Palmer. I do not consider Hill a possibility, and those who keep talking about him are doing him an injustice, as he is not a candidate. I feel sure whoever is nominated will receive the support of the entire Democracy of the country, for this coming convention will be made up of wise men, who will see to it that only such a candidate is nominated." ravorltn Sons in, the Race. The Illinois Democrats are busilv en gage in discussing the merits ot" their Javonte sons, of whom they have a goodly number, who they regard as worthy of either first or second place on the National ticket. Congressman Fithian is boomine Colonel .Mormon, ot horizontal tariff bill fame, as the man for the honor if Cleveland is not named. Mr. Fithian speaks of the situation thus: "It can be truthfully said of Colonel "Will iam E. Morrison that he was the original tariff reformer of them all. He took ad vanced grounds in favor of tarifi reform many years in advance, of the leading statesmen of to-day, and he has persist ently waged war against tariff robbery both in and out of Congress. He never allowed defeat to discourage him, and, like the brave soldier that he is, at every politi cal contest was always found in the thickest of the battle, fighting for the people's cause. My information is that the Illinois dela tion will cast the vote of the State for Cleve land, but if there should be a chance to nominate Morrison I have every assurance that our delegation will cast the vote of the State for him. The delegation is instructed to vote as a unit." "The majority of the delegates are Colonel Morrison's friends. It is a mistake to sup pose that Morrison or Palmer would stand in each other's wav, if either could be nom inated. I personally know the contrary to be the fact. Without speaking disparag ingly of any of the other Western men who have been mentioned, I am of the opinion that Colonel Morrison is the most availa ble candidate at this time. This Congress has not met the expectations of 'the people in dealing with the tariff and the Democracy must name a candidate who will be a tariff platform in himself and that Colonel Morri son wonld be. He was a soldier in two wars and was wounded while in active en gagement, leading the Union forces against the enemy in the late war. Talk for the Ties Presidency. There is already more talk about the Democratic nomination for Vice President than was heard at the Republican gathering at Minneapolis up until a few hours before the candidate was named. It is -practically conceded that if Cleveland secures the first place, the second will not go farther east than Ohio, nor farther west than Iowa. Ex-Governor Campbell would be a formidable candidate, were it not understood that he does not desire the position at once. The outlook is that either Gray, of Indiana, or Boies, of Iowa, will be awarded the coveted prize, though General Altai Stevens, of Illinois, is mentioned br politi cian b who are considered to be well on the inside. Big crowds of Boies' boomers are scheduled to arrive from the Hawkeye State. About the first delegation to come will be the New York anti-Snappers, and thev will be closely followed by the advance guard of Hill's friends representing the mid-winter convention. Secretary Schofield, of the Cook County Democraoy, announces that the Pennsylvania delegations and friends with the Young Men's Democratic Club, ot Philadelphia, will arrive Saturday after noon and will be met bv a band, which has been engaged to furnish music for the Key stone Democrats,during their stay.as though the adherents of Guffey and Harrity would not provide enough diversion. Bancroft. TAMMANY DROPS HILL. Whitney Secures Its Support for Cleveland The Anti-Snap Strength Scared thn Big Indians Grover Isow Said to Have a Sure Thine: Washington, June 14. perioJ. The Hill boom is disintegrating and Cleveland is practically assured of the support of Tammany and the nomination at Chicago. These statements are not speculative. They are founded upon well authenticated facts. Outwardly the Hill movement may go on for a week longer without any apparent signs of weakening, but internally it is fast going to seed. Messrs. Croker, McLaughlin, Sheehan and oth er Tammany bosses have made invaluable concessions to the Cleveland faction. Within a weeek past the Tammany leaders secretly met a delegation of Cleveland men in New York to talk over the situation. The go-between was ex-Secretary Whitney. Between him and' Boss Croker exists a bond of intimacy which is strengthened, it is said, by certain financial obligations on the part of the Tammany chief. Beginning with Boss Croker, it was not difficult to reach other leaders. Tammany has for some time past been in dread that the 200,000 enrolled Democrats who worked up the recent Cleveland conven tion might carry-out their threat to dispute with the Tammany organization the control of the patronage in New York City, and possibly prevent it from having its own in the election of the municipal ticket. That would mean ruin to Tammany. Mr. Whitney, therefore, found the mind of Tammany well prepared to revive the impres sions. The meeting was brought about without much trouble, and it was agreed that, in consideration of the Cleveland leaders abandoning the idea of disputing the domination of Tam many in New York City by setting up a rival organization, the Tammany chiefs would not only stop their fight upon Cleve land now, but aid in carrying New York for him in the election if, as now seems certain, he should get the nomination. The only thing that remains to be done is that Mr. Cleveland must demonstrate in the convention that he is really the choice of the'party outside of New York. CARLISLE FOB CHAIRMAN. -Sir. Stealey Says a Cleveland Cyclone Will Sweep Everything Before It. Chicago, June 14. Mr. O. O. Stealey, the Washington correspondent ot the Louisville Courier-Journal, is in the city to attend the convention. In his dispatch to the Councr-Jcntrndl to-night he states that the Cleveland cyclone here next week will sweep everything before it, and that Cleve land will be nominated by acclamation be fore the rollcall is half finished. He also states that there will be no organized oppo sition to the nomination of Mr. Cleveland outside of New York. He concludes his dispatch as follows: Since we cannot have John G. Carlisle for President this year, let us make him Per manent President of the greatest Demo cratic Convention that has ever met in this country. He is the man of all others to an swer McKinley's Minneapolis speech, and he will make a tariff reform argument that will ring from one end of the country to the other. In addition to all of this he is splendidly equipped for the position, being the ablest parliamentarian in the conntry and a man always fair and impartial in his rulings." INDIANA UNDECIDED YET. To Vote for Cleveland or for Gray Is the Im portant Question. Chicago, June 14. B. F. Lonthlain and C. L. Wall, two of the Indiana delegation, arrivedVat the Palmer House to-day. They declare that a meeting will be held to consider the advisability of casting a solid vote for Cleveland, though many of the delegates have been instructed for Gray. NEW T0BE IS COOLING DOWN. The Fight There Is Not So Intense as It Has Been Reported. Chicaco, June 14. Amos J. Cummings, of New York, who is at the Leland, says that the fight in New York is not as intense as reports would indicate, and that either Cleveland or Hill would get the full Demo cratic Toie. PEACE BEIONS AT TONA WANDA. The Proposition of the Striking Lnmber Shovers Accepted by the Employers. Tonawanda, N. Y. , June 14. The la bor difficulties which have resulted in riots and bloodshed were settled here to-night The proposition of the lumber-shovers was accepted and the men will go to work in the morning. Stevedores are done away with and men will deal directly with cap'tains, dividing money equally. The militia will be dis missed. Both sides are well pleased with this reiult DEFEAT FOR GROYER. Anti-Cleveland Forces Win the Day ' in the Buckeye State. HOT AND BITTER STRUGGLES Make Matters Lively in the County and District Meetings. BRICE TAKES A HAND IN THE CONTEST ttTZCJXX. TXLZQRAM TO Till ttlSPATCH. Columbus, O., June 14. There is an unusual amount of guessing being done to night as to who will be the delegates at large to the Chicago Convention. The dis trict meetings were held this afternoon and there were a number of surprises in store for the Cleveland men. Senator Brice ar rived shortly afternoon and apparently took charge of the forces and directed the man ner in which things should be done. . There is no doubt about the paramount Cleveland sentiment among the delegates and espey cially among the people whom they repre sent, but the opposition seems to be the better organized and are taking everything in caucus. The anti-Cleveland men won about every thing where there was any contest in the district meetings this afternoon, and it is safe to state that not more than one-third of the 46 delegates are pronounced Cleveland men, while about one-third are anti-Cleveland and the balance have a leaning to Cleveland, but are for the strongest man at Chicago. What might have been a solid Cleveland delegation, or substantially so, has been changed so that not more than one-half of it will be for Cleveland when he needs the votes. Senator Brice is an anti-Cleveland man, and is apparently not in favor of any one as long as there is a chance left for himself. Indications for Delegates at Iiarse. The indications to-night are that the dele gates at large will be Brice, Campbell, and possibly Robert Blee and ,L. T. Neal. Tnere is some talk to-night of John B. Mc Lean being a candidate for delegate at large, and if he is, there is not much doubt that he will be selected, considering the temper of the delegates as developed to the present time. The most exciting contests brought forth by the convention is in the matter of select ing delegates to the Chicago Convention bv districts. The delegates to the State Con vention of seven district; chose representa tives for their constituencies at the Na tional Democratic Convention. This is something unusual and was occasioned by the early date of the convention which per mitted a meeting in time to attend the Chi cago gathering. Out of these 14 delegates choseu but two are known to be inclined to vote for Mr. Cleveland, and they are in structed and simply were chosen to repre sent what is claimed to be a Cleveland con stituency. The greatest fight in the selection of Chi cago delegates was in the Eighteenth dis trict, which is composed of Stark, Colum biana and Mahoning counties. This is Governor McKinley's old district, and two years ago when made Democratic and John G. Warwick was pitted against the great exponent of protection, Governor Hill re sponded to the Masslllon man's cry for help and made several speeches in the dis trict. For this Warwick undertook the task, of securing two Hill delegates to Chi cago. He succeeded to-day, but the means by which it was obtained is not at all' cred itable to himself or supporters and means trouble in the future. Hot Struggles In County Meetings. Columbiana and Mahoning counties have 19 delegates and Stark 19. Columbiana in structed its delegates for Al Carlisle as a Chicago delegate, while Mahoning county instructed its 10 delegates to vote for Cleveland men as delegates to Chicago. This was the condition of affairs when the district delegates met in caucus this after noon to agree npon national delegates. The lines were drawn close and the fight was straight out for and against Cleveland. Judge Young, of Stark countv, was selected Chairman, and Thomas McNamaro, Jr., of Mahoning, (secretary, xne Uleveland men presented the names of Al Carlisle, of Columbiana, and Bobert Mackay, of Ma honing, while the Hill men presented the names of John C. Weltv, of Canton, and W. K. L. Warwick, a son of the Congress man. The first ballot resulted in the Stark countv men getting its 19 votes and Mackav receiving 19, Carlisle 11 and C. a Fiff seven. This was as expected the two factions being equally divided, but the surprise came in the next ballot, when Welty got 20 votes and was elected, Warwick 19, Carlisle 16 and A. W. Taylor 2. This showed con clusively that one of the Cleveland delegates had gone back on instructions. The third ballot showed Warwick 20 votes as before and be was nominated. The ballot was secret and who the man was that went back on his constituence is not yet proven, but the Cleveland men say 18 are ready to make affidavit,so it won't be hard to single ont the traitor. All kinds of charges were made, the chief of which was bribery. Fierce Fights Along the Line. Another hot fight was among the dele gates from Adams, Pike, Sciota, Jackson, Lawrence and Gallia. For delegates to Chicago, the names of H. L. Chapman, of Jackson; Michael Stanton, of Sciota; W. P. Shober, of Gallia, and Colonel Frank O'Connel, of Lawrence, were presented. The latter were presumed to be favorable to Cleveland's nomination and were knocked out. Chapman and Stanton being elected. Colonel O'Connel and E. W. Ellison, of Adams, were chosen alternates and John W. Washburn, of Pike, selected elector. Two more anti-Cleveland delegates were chosen from the Eleventh, viz: Judge Huffman, of Perry, and A. B. Cole, of Boss. There was no opposition. The alternates are Thomas H. Craig, of Athens, and John McNamaro, of Vinton. Another tustle of delegates was in the Fifteenth district composed of Muskingum, Guernsey, Morgan, Noble and Washington. The Presidents!, lines were not drawn par ticularly plain here, the selections being made simply for the purpose of shutting Washington out Washington county's delegates did not arrive uutil 3 p. m. when they found a combination made by Mus kingum, Guernsey, Noble and part ot Mor gan to bag all the honors. An effort to get an adjournment was unsuccessful and the combine selected the following: Delegates, Hon. Frank H. Southard, Muskingum; James T. Cain, Guernsey. Alternates, W. L. Findley, Noble: Henry Bolser, Wash ington. Elector, Hon. Henry Bohl. The delegates were required to personally pledge themselves to go to Chicago for the purpose of choosing a man who could be elected. Neither ot them are for Cleveland. Delegates and Committeemen. The Sixteenth district selected the follow ing delegates to Chicago: George W. Mc Cook, Jefferson; George C McKee, of Bel mont. Alternates: N. A. Hanna, Harrison; Lewis Hoeffler, Monroe; Elector J. Y. Law er,Carrol. These men are supposed to favor Cleveland's nomination. The First district selected the following anti-Oleveland delegates: Michael Devaney, Louis Beemlin; alternates: J.White, James M Kice. Among the committees selected at the district meetings this afternoon were the following: Flist district, Henry D. Leman, Hamilton; Second, W. B.

FUSION IN KANSAS. Part of the Plan Carried Ont Between the Alliance and Democracy Jerry Simp son Renominated for Congress Bis Boom for Governor Is Now Completely Dead. Wichita, Kan., June 14. Delegates to the Farmers' Alliance State Convention, which meets to-morrow to nominate a fnll State ticket, are discussing only one ques tion: "Shall the Farmers' Alliance fuse with the Democrats?" At a recent conference of Farmers' Al liance and Democratic leaders at Kansas City, apian of fusion was arranged which provided for the nomination of three Dem ocrats on their State ticket by the Farmers' Alliance, Congressman at Large, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, Attorney. General and also two district Congressmen. A part of the plan was carried out to-day at Emporia, when the Farmers' Alliance nom inated E. V. Wharton for Congress, an ex Democrat, whom the Democrats at their convention subsequently nominated. The question is now, will the rest of the plan be carried out There is a strong fusion sentiment among the more conservative delegates and leaders realize that without Democratic aid they cannot hope for success, knowing that it was the Democratic votes two years ago that carried their ticket to victory. It looks to-night as if the fusion idea would prevail. There are plenty of moderate Democrats who would be satisfactory to the rank and file of the Farmers' Alliance but candidates are. not being much talked about The members of the Farmers' Al liance are adhering closely to their old rule that the office must seek the man and can didates are rather chary of proclaiming their candidacy. Jerry Simpson's renomination for Con- f;ress this afternoon will probably kill his ittle gubernatorial boom. That boom was started bv some of his more enthusiastic ad mirers and. against Simpson's express de sire. NEWS WORK COMPLETED. He Sets Ball for His Consulship Office in London Harrison Was Nominated and That Was What He Cams Over the Pond For. New Yobk, June 14. Special John C New, who left his post as Consul General at London to come homo aud assist in re nominating President Harrison, will sail on tbe steamship City of New Tork to morrow morning, to resume his interrupted official duties. He was at the Gilsey House this evening, proudly displaying a silver "grandfather's hat" on thelapelof his coat. Asked if he proposed tyifcturn to participate in the campaign, he .answered rather enig matically "that depends." "At any rate," said he, "it I don't come back to vote I'll be paired with some good Democrat. I've been made too big a factor in this thing. I don't want and am not en titled to bo much credit. The fact is that the people and not the politicians wanted Ben Harrison and that's why vou couldn't stop his nomination. He has the best ele ment of all the people in the country be hind him and he's coins to win." "Why was not Vice President Morton're nominated?" he was asked. "That's a hard question for me to answer," said he after some hesitation. "If I'd had mv way I'd have named the old ticket, but New York said Seid. There was no opposition and Beid was named. He's a good strong man. Nobody can say anything against him. He's risen from the people and ought to attract those who admire a man whose worth and merit bring him suc cess." General New said that the men who used Blaine's name in the convention were insin cere; that their only desire was to defeat the President of renomination and that they had done a great man a grievous wrong. CONTESTING A DELEGACY. A Democratic Representative to Carry the Fight to the Chicago Convention. Habrisbdbo, Pa., June 14. Samuel B. Griffith was elected a delegate to the Chi cago Convention at a meeting of the Demo cratic State Committee this afternoon. Senators Dunlap, of Beaver, and Griffith, of Mercer, were candidates for national delegate in the Twenty-fifth district, and owing to a tie, the contest was referred by the State convention to the State Commit tee. Senator Dunlap presented his side of the case and Deputv Attorney General Strana han spoke for Griffith. After the speeches, at his own request, Senator Dunlap's name was withdrawn and Griffith was chosen. Then Senator Dunlap filed .a protest and gave notice of his intention to carry the contest to the National Convention. AHKAH8AS FOB CLEVELAND.

The Democratic State Convention to elect dele gates to Chicago and to nominate a State ticket met at noon to-day and effected a temporary organization by electing "W. C. Braley Cnairman, and adjourned till 3 P. II. Tbe complexion of the convention is most decidedly for Cleveland for President. The indications are that the delegates will not be instructed. Mills' Successor In the House. Dallas, Tex., June 14. E.L. Antony, Democrat, was to-day elected over Barber, Third Party candidate, to fill the unexpired term ot ex-Congressman (now Senator) Boger Q.

Special' The weather was so hot lost night that the students were unable to sleep in the cramped and illy-ventilated dormitory bed rooms. About midnight nearly 100 ap peared on the campus attired in nothing but their robes de nuit and frolicked about They danced around the statue of Old Elihu Yale with the Omega Lambda Chi step, which is something like a grapevine schottischc.

A TROPICGLACIER. California Adds a Geologic Wonder to the World's Big' Collection. MILES OF MOVING ICE Discovered in San Bernardino Conn tj's Mountain Fastness. CANONS DISCLOSE THEIR SECRETS To an Adventurous Exploring' Expedition in tbe Golden State. TRUTH OP AN OLD TRADITION PEOYEN ISFZCIAX. TZLEOKAM TO TUB DISPATCH. Los Axosles, Oal., June 14, The dis covery of an active glacier in Southern Cal ifornia of such heroic proportions as to justify comparison with the minor conti nental glaciers of the Alps, Andes and Him alayas, in fact, the largest, if not the only glacier in the temperate confines of the United States, is one of the wonders which the inhabitants of this marvelous region, from a geographical standpoint, can add to the local category of stupendous worss to be found in sub-tropical California. The story of the existence of a moving liver of ice buried in the deep canons ot the San Bernardino range of mountains is an old one, and among the earliest settlers in this section it has been handed down as a tradition. At times the more venturesome of the army of argonauts penetrated these deeper recesses of the range in the search for yellow metal and came back again into the haunts of men and told tales of the great gorge choked up with a mighty mass of ice, and the very exciting momentary in terest in those days gradually became a memory's tradition, a tale of the hills. Old Reports of the Icy Elver. Among many of the older residents of San Bernardino county the existence of a great ice gorge of the upper levels of Gray back Mountain, the monarch of the San Bernardino range, has been known and vouched for during the past 30 years. Mr. C Haskell, ot San Bernardino, re ceived the story from many different sources and only two years ago Mr. F. Gilman, at present a school teacher in North Ontario, while on an exploring tour in the section mentioned found his way to this marvel and came back with wonderous tales of an immense body of ice, looked up in a mighty canon that was pressing immense masses of granite down into valleys below with the titanic accumulative force of nature. The frequent iteration of these stories prompted the Herald to make up a party of investigation ana witu this end in view an exploring expedition was organized. Securing a suitable outfit, the party, un der command of Colonel M. M. Congden, left Los Angeles over the kite-shaped track ot the Santa Fe road Monday, June 6. At Highland station they boarded the Bear Valley stage, and at Pine Lakt mustangs and bums were procured to go to the bead waters of the Santa Ana river, and there make tbe ascent of Gray Back Mountain. Snb-Troplo Snow Storm In Jane. One of the features ot the stop at the Bear Valley Hotel was a June snow storm with a fall of six inches, the altitude being 6,700 feet. Ice formed in the water pitchers in tne mornine a quarter ot an inch in thickness. A start was made at 6 o'clock the next morning and a climb of 3,000 feet was made to tbe summit of the range south of Pine Lake. The azeroid bar ometer indicated an elevation of 8,020 feet The descent from this point to the Santa Ana Valley is most precipitous. There is an almost abrupt fall of 3,000 feet like tbe chasmic declivities that are to be fonnd along the eastern Sierras. Slowly and cautiously threading their way over immense sloping beds of rounded granite boulders, at an altitude of 10,000 feet a grass-covered plateau, half a mile wide was crossed, and then the party turned into a canon that was apparently impressible, but a thread-like trail wound in and out ol the rugged and rorblddlng mountain side always stretching upward toward the clouds. After four hours of very slow climbing a rocky peak was reached beyond which turned the snowy tops of Graybaok Mountain, San Bernardino and other peaks of the higher range. As'the party proceeded up the canon tbe masses of snow along the sides and in the old torrent bed became more frequent, and at many points had drifted into great banks, 20, 30 and 0 feet in depth. Great Drifts of Frosen Snow. After a brief Test the ascent of the mount ain began in earnest A stretch of table land half a mile in width, sparsely covered with timber piled high with, gigantic gran ite boulders, was crossed with considerable difficulty. Snow drifts abounded here in great profusion. As the ascent contin ued the difficulty of breathing increased and frequent stops for rest became impera tive. The ascent was up a steep incline, and on either side were great ravines in tbe moun tain side that extended upwards for hun dreds of feet to points near tbe summit These ravines were oblong in shape, half a mile in length and about an eighth of a mile in width were filled full of snow. They ran into a canon that wound spirally down ward tendinz in a southerly direction. Al though these great fissures in many respects resemble the heads of glaciers still they were not of sufficient dimensions to indicate a permanent existence aud the party followed the trend of these ravines in a southerly direction crossing a ridge here projecting from 'the main body ot the mountain fully 2,000 feet The Discovery of the Glacier. They came to the main or mother gorge, which extended from the summit downward for fully 1i miles. The gorge was wedge shaped. It was fully an eighth of a mile in width at the summitand widened to three quarters of a mile at the base. The snow at the crest of the gorge at the top of the mountain lay in stratas.-there being one deposit in an immense cap-like fissure hundreds of feet in depth. On one side of this fissure the strata is sharply de fined, the snow strata each representing the accumulation of a single year, the lowest and most dense approaching the blue color of ice. About half a mile downward froni the summit the three gorges heretofore described as containing Immense deposits of snow and ice meet in one common channel aud de bauch into the main gorge. At the point of juncture there were fragmentary indica tions that at some long past period the smaller channel had been an active glacier. On both sides of the main gorge were lateral moraines formed ot earthy matter and de tritus which bad been detached from the mountain sides and fallen upon the surface of the moving snow and ice. Moves Fifty Feet a Tear. Close stndy of the stratifications lead to tbe belief that the glacier moves some where at the rate of 60 feet a year. The iee is blue-blaok laminated, and is bitter to the taste. The laoier projjer Is fully four miles J long to tbe point where it debouches into a valley where the sun can-bring the full force of its rays to bear on the ice. Here it melts away and fnrnishes an immense body of water, which in a few hundred yards sinks into the ground to rise later on and form the Santa Ana river. WEDDED IN A CEMETERY. Queer Marrlaee Ceremony In Baltimore Bride and Groom stand on Graves and Are Made One the Happy Fair Belong to the F F's From Way Back. Baltimoke, June 14. Special Six carriages drove into Green Mount Cemetery to-day, and as they entered the gates those in the neighborhood looked intuitively for the hearse. They saw none, however, and those who followed soon discovered that it was not a funeral cortege but a strange bridal party.

A Serious Eegatl to-the isiauination of a Detective Who EAENED THE 1IL TTILL OP STEIKBES I HXCT At. TXXXOSAX TO TH1 DISPATCH.! New Yobk, June 14. There was a sensa tional sequel to-day to the alleged assassina tion of a detective last March by strikers in a big iron foundry at Long Island City. Henry Higgins, the principal actor in one of the most deliberate, cold-blooded murders ever known in that town, will not even be broueht to trial, to say nothing of suffering the death penalty; if John Fleming, the District Attorney, does not bestir himself and make an effort to produce the four men who confessed at the Coroner's inquest that they were witnesses to his crime. Higgins was placed on trial for his life 'o-day before Judge Cullen, of Brooklyn. Counsellor S. B. Noble, whom Mayor Pat rick Gleason recently appointed Corpora tion Counsel, represented tbe prisoner. "When the case was called District Attorney Fleming arose and meekly requested that the trial be postponed, on the ground that the four witnesses on whom the State relied absolutely to secure conviction had fled the district The request had to be granted. Light Ball for Murder Witnesses. The four men that Mr. Fleming has allowed to slip through his fingers were out on $100 bail each. That bail was fixed by Coroner VT. W. Meiners at tbe inquest after consultation with the District At torney's representative, J. Cornelius. The rrime for which Higgins is held is the murder of Bertram C. Arnold, a young man ot 19 vears, who was employed by the Simonds' Stove foundry, of Long Island City, to obtain evidence against strikers who had declared war against the foundry early in March last Higgins was one of the strikers. About March 2 several new hands were taken on. The strikers, it is said, tried to intimidate the new men. The fight became so bitter that the company employed several private detectives to obtain evidence against the strikers. Arnold, an em ploye of the Hammond detective agency of Brooklyn, was one of the most persistent of the sleuths. He had been a cowboy, boasted-of his bravery, wore a broad sombrero, carried a big revolver, and was called by the strikers "the Indian." On the morning of March 26 leaders of the strike assembled in a small saloon within a stone's throw of the foundry known as "McGuire's shanty." They drank heavily. One of their number, who hap pened to look out of the door, saw Arnold. Higgins shouted, "We will do up this In dian now and be done with him." A Crnel, Cold-BIooded Murder. A leading striker by the name of Cough lin ran from the saloon and confronted the detective. After talking with him for ft few minutes, it was testified that he threw himself on his knees, caught hold of Ar nold's legs and threw him to the ground. As soon as Arnold fell Higgins ran for him. By the time he reached his side the detective had regained his feet, but before he could put himself in a position of defense Hig gins, it Is alleged, drew'a clasp knife and cut his throat Peter McAloon, Frank Mo Conkie, Peter Gormley and a man by the name ot Flel confessed at the Coroner's in quest that they had seen the murder. These are the refugees, and all have disap peared within the past three weeks. Joseph "W. Gavan, the editor of the Long Island City Democrat, has waged a vigorous warfare against the District Attorney ever since the witnesses were admitted in to bail In his newspaper he declared that bail should have been fixed at a larger amount A Broad Hint and Ominous Silence. Three weeks ago one of Higgins' friends entered the barroom of Millers Hotel; and began talking about the approaching trial to Gavan. "You have been talking a great deal about this thing," said he to Gavan, "but you can bet your life that before the trial comes off all the witnesses against Higgins will be out of Long Island City. It is an easy; matter to give np $400 in bail and $100 apiece to those men to induce them to skip." District Attorney Fleming, shortly after the Coroner's inquest, gave orders that Sheriff Norton should allow Higgins to eat from his table and be accorded other un usual privileges.
