The volcano emitted n dense column of flame, and at the same time electrical phenomena were observed. The eruption was accompanied by deep rumbling resembling continuous thunder.

Consequently about the only surprise expressed as the news spread through Loudon concerned the date rather than the fact of the resignation. The real interest was not so much In reference to Lord Salisbury's withdrawal as it was in the appointment of his successor.Mr. Koderlck suld: "There is nothing to conceal, and everything known to me, will be made public at the coroner's inquest, which will not be held for several days, or at least until Mine Bosses John Itotalick, Harry Rodgcrs and Thomas Foster are able to testify."V CHANGE IN PHILIPPINES.

That the retiring premier's health lias failed to some extent is undeniable, hut litis is not move than perhaps is to be expected ill a until of his years, and the close of the war in South Africa and the return of the commanding general there is considered to be an appropriate time for his withdrawal.
