in tho world, being constantly sub

such a climate it is impossible for
trees to grow erect, as they do in

amends by furnishing a supply of
wood in the most curious sliapo
imaginable. The visitor to tho Kalk-
lands secs, scattered here and there,
singular-shaped blocks of what ap

covered bowlders in various si/cs.
Attempt to turn one of these “bowl
ders" over and you will meet with a
surprise, because tin Gone is actual
ly anchored by roots of great
strength; in fact von will find that
you are fooling wit h one of the native
trees. No other country in the world
has such a peculiar “forest" growth,
and it is said to be next lo impossible
to work the odd-shaped blocks into
fuel, because it is perfectly devoid of
‘‘grain, 1 * and appears to be nothing
but a twisted mass of woody fibers.

A judgment of no little importance
to travelers has just been delivered by

the Ban Francisco Argonaut. A
French lady was staying at a hotel
1 with her child, when the latter was
• taken ill with sc irbifcina. The land-
| lord endeavored to evict her, and the
energetic intervention of a doctor was
i needed to prevent a removal which
; might have been attended with fatal
* results. A claim for damages esti-
i mated at three hundred dollars was
j then put forward by tho proprietor,
i and when the court before which the
| caso was brought decided against him,
j he appealed. The Court of Appeal has
■ also pronounced against the

<>n that station for a month, and if at
tlio cud of that time it is still thought
necessary to have a warship to assist
in preventing filibustering expeditions,
it is expected that another vessel will
be sent to relieve her, ns owing to tho

A report iu published iu Washington
that ex Senntor Ransom, United Staton
minister to Mexico, is seriously ill at
Idh homo in North Carolina. His visit
to tho City of Mexico was injurious to
his health, and the rnriilod atmosphere
at that capital affected hiH health so
o ripusly that his physician would not
allow him to remain there. There is
considerable doubt ns to his retufn to PZ££f
Mexico, and-it ia alrm>Ht>'t*i*rtnth'41i#t Trffn
ho will bo compelled to relinquish tho
mission unless his health undergoes
material improvement, as it is not
likely ho can stand tho climate of the
city of Mexico in his present enfeebled
state. His illness may prove tempor
ary, however, and ho may soon recov
er iiis health, in which event ho will
undoubtedly return to his diplomatic
post.
Deep Water in Harbors.
General Craighill, chief of tho en
gineer corps of the army, lms received
some very encouraging reports on tho
improvement of southorn harbors. At
tho offices at Galveston reports come
that they have now botwcou eight
and nineteen feel, of water where there
were originally but twelve foot. At
Savannah tho depth lins been
creased from fourteen and a half
feet to twenty-four fret, and it
is expected that twenty-six feet will bo
obtained before long. When work
was begun ut Charleston harbor there
was but twelve feet at low tide. Tho
officer there now reports fifteen feet,
and expects moro when tho jetties,
which ore now nearly completed, are
finished. In ilioSt. Johns an increase
from twelve and a half feet to eighteen
feet is reported, except over the bar,
and tliis depth is expected there be
fore long.
Vessels for Patrol Duty.
Tho treasury department has de
cided to strengthen tho revenue cutter
patrol along the Atlantic coast from
Charleston to Mobile by ordering tho
cutters Morrill, McLano and For ware
to patrol those waters. 'Tho reason
assigned for this movoinout is that i
is necessary to keep a closer lookout
for vessels coming from Cuba which
might bring yellow* fever. At tlio
same time tho revenue cutters will
operate with the United States steam
ship Raleigh in preventing filibuster
ing expositions from leaving tl
United States for Cuba. In conncc
lion with the assignment of these rev
enuo cutters to patrol duty. Surgeon
Generul Wyman addresaed a letter to
Secretary Carlisle, calling attention to
tho danger of tho introduction of yel
low fever into Florida by means of
smuggling fishing smacks arriving
from Cuba. Ho urged that three rev
eriue cutters bo detailed to inspect nil
such vessels, and also asked for foil
additional sanitary inspectors, to bo
stationed at tlio points moat frequent
ed by these smugglers, the vessels not
attempting t» make port in compli
anco with tho shipping laws.
OHIO MINERS
Ratify tho Agreement and Vote to
Return to Work.
The vote of tho Ohio mine owners ns
to whether they would accept or re
ject tho proposition of tho operators to
pay 51 cents for screened coal por ton
for mining resulted : For acceptance,
5,091; against, 1,351. "Majority, 740.
Tho State Minimis’ officials say in
their circular to tho miuers of Ohio:
“You will thus sec that tlio provis
ional agreement made botwcou tho
operators and delegatus on Juno 1,
1895, has been ratified and accepted
by tho popular vote of (ho district.
This makes tlio agreement valid. Lo
uis will govern themselves according
ly, and will resume work under tho
provisions of said agreement.
It must bo borne in mind that,
distasteful as tho terms of this agree
ment are, wo lmvo hopes of i(s being
only binding in ho far as (ho circum-
stances continue which forced ith ac-
aoptauoo. If those circumstances
change, which wo are in hope
of, wo expect that better terms will bo
within our probabilities ere long.’’
Secretary McBride, of tho National
Association, Hays the Ohio Minors act
ed wisely in accepting the offer of tho
operatives, and (lmt if tho Pittsburg
Tiers will do as well they will be in
position to take an advanced step by
tho time the fall trade opens.

GOFF IS OVERRULED
GOVERNOR ATKINSON HAS AN
ATTACK OF APPENDICITIS.
Stricken Smlilcnly a nil It Was Thought
Ho Would Not Survive.
Early Sunday morning Governor
Atkinson was stricken with nn attack
f appendicitis of tho severest naturo
and was for a time at death’s door:
It was just after 3 o’clock when tho
(tack came on and it came with such
iolonco that it was not thought that |
the governor could live until tho ar-
ival of tlio doctor. He had retired
nrly and slept well until shortly be
fore tlio severe attack.
Ho woke up with a sharp pain in his
right side, which increased in inten
sity until ho was unable to bear it any
longer alone. Calling to his wife ho
informed her that ho was very sick and
asked that a physician bo sent for at
once. Mrs. Atkinson hurried to him
ml was greatly alarmed, perceiving
mmediately that ho was in a critical
ondition. Ho seemod to be dying.
Tho shock was terrible to the family
whou the governor wraeked with tho
uwfulnofrB of the acute disease turned
m his side and fainted away. For
somo moments ho was unconscious, but
with quick presence of mind those
about bis couch went at tho work of
revival and he was soon restored to
onsciousncfls. In tho meantime a
runner had boon sent for Dr. J. B. S.
Holmes, who resides just across tho
street, and ho was told to eomo at once,
that it appeared that tlio governor
would not live until his arrival. With
wonderful haste Dr. Holmes got ready
and mado his way to tlio executive
mansion.
He was shown at once into the gov
ernor’s room and made a hv.rrioil ex
amination. Bcforo going into a diag
nosis of tho case, however,restoratives
were applied artd the frightful pain al
leviated as much ns possible.
Further examination was mado and
Dr. Holmes soon Raw that ho had a
sevoro case of appendicitis to deal with.
Ho was undecided at first as to whoth-
r an operation should bo performed
at once, or it seemed that this would
bo tho only hope for his patient's sur
vival. Tho strength of Governor At
kinson was fast failing and those .about
him thought that the end was drawing
near.
Other Physicians Called.
A surgical operation of tho kind
-rri*PCTPy*ltrtmrlfTi cnRo demanded tho
prcfloneo of other doctors aud Dr. Na
than Hnnis was called. Ho agreed
with Dr. Holmes that tho caso was a
violent form of appendicitis and ad-
isod an operation unless thoro was a
marked change for tho better during
tho morning. Later on Drs. Cooper
and Nicolson wero called in for con
sultation. All of theso remained with
tho governor during tho day and woro
constantly about his bedside.
There was gloom about tho whole
city when tlio news of Governor Atkin
son’s illness became known. It was a
gloomy day and tho dark lnidon clouds
hung heavy as if to mark tho misfor
tune which threatened tho state. As
soon as it booatno known that, tho sick
ness was so sudden and serious words
of solicitous inquiry came from every
direction and during tho afternoon
anxious messages wero rooeivod by wire
from friends in other cities.
At 2:80 o’clock Monday morning
Governor Atkinson was resting moro
comfortably and it was thought that
if ho wont through tho operation suc
cessfully that ho would ho much better.

SILVER MASS MEETING |
Hold In Now Orleans Starts tho nail
In Loiilsluim. |
Tlio silver mass convention hold iit
Now Orleans Monday evening started
tho silver movrmont in Louisiana witl*
a big boom. It was far moro ruccobb*
ful than anticipated, and its momborrf
organized a bimetallic lenguo on an oN
ficiont basis nud will go to work nb
once to organize tho silver forces ot
tho state for work.
The call for tho convention was pub*
lishod only five days before, and thoro
was just time to get it in circulation iu
tho country parishes, aud everything
lmd to be dono hurriedly. There was
no silver or bimetallic league in tho
state, and tho convention was decidedly
a popular one.
Tho resolutions which were offered
were far more comprehensive and full
than those adopted in most bimetallic*
conventions that have been hold. They
called for individual action on tho part
of tho United States in favor of tho
freo coinage of silver at tho ratio of 1(»
to 1. They demanded that all contractu
mado hereafter should bo payable iu,
lawful money of tho United States,
They pointed out how tho presont pol«
icy of tho government had resulted iu
tho increase of tho public debt in u
time of peace, and bad forced the issu*
anco of bonds; and thoy pointed out!
how bimetallism would not only bene
fit tbo south and tho country, but re
store and develop trado. Two hun
dred delegates were chosen to repre
sent Louisiana in the bimetallic con
vention hold in Memphis. Many ol
tho parishes, however, in olectirg del
egates to the New Orleans oonvontiou
also choso them to tho Memphis con
vention.
Tho success of tho convention iu
rocognized on all sides, and it is gene
rally bclioved that it will force tho de
mocracy of the stato to adopt tho freo
silver plank. It. was distinctly a non-
political convention, that is, tlio poli
ticians had little part in calling it.
Thoro wero a great many prominent)
leaders presont, but this was duo tc»
tho fact that they saw tho strength of
tlio silver movement in Louisiana and
hastened to get in lino with it. Thin
is especially tho case in regard to thu
political loaders in New Orleans, who
remained silent on tho silver question
to tho Inst moment.
