Thing Certain. Men may question the authenticity tif this or that book in the Bible; they may flout the story of Jonah and the whale; they may evade questions of faith and doctrine; they may refuse as¬ sent to the gospel narratives; they may ■hide themselves in the m< itaphysical ■mazes until the existence of God fae- comes uncertain to them. But there is one thing that cannot be questioned, or flouted, or evaded, or hidden from. There are no metaphysical subleties that can hide a man from death.— Voice. The Decisive Test.

ENGLAND IS SOMEWHAT DISTURBED The Cretan Committee in Crerce Semis a Torpedo Tlotllla to Cntiea—The Saltan Caters l*rotest. Advices from Athens, Greece, state that in the chamber of deputies Thurs¬ day Premier Delyann is said that either the porte would be prevented by the powers from sending re-enforcements to Crete or would persist in sending them there. In either case, the premier added, the Greek government had decided to take action promptly and decisively. When Crete demanded a union with the mother country, ho said, Greece could not remain indifferent. At the conclusion of the remarks of Delyannis, tho leader of the opposi¬ tion, assured the premier that the gov¬ ernment would have the heartiest sup¬ port of the opposition, which assur¬ ance evoked prolonged cheers. The Cretan committee are making preparations on a large, scalo to land men and munitions of war upon the shores of Crete, and tho first install¬ ment of six hundred men embarked and sailed Wednesday evening. JZng'lnntl In Apprehensive. The I’all Mall Gazette, commenting on tho Cretan situation, says there is abundant foundation for tho belief that tho sending of the Greek flotilla to Crete is looked upon by the British government ns a matter so serious as to threaten consequences of the great¬ est importance. In view of the fact that the action of Greece was entirely independent and taken without conveying the slightest notions of her intentions to the powers, The Gazette says Lord Sftlisbury may be relied upon to take prompt ami decisive measures to neu- tralize its effect. Protest From Turkish Minister. Assim Bey, the Turkish minister at Athens, visited the foreign office, and acting under instructions from liin government, made a protest against the dispatch of the Greek torj cdo flotilla to Crete. Assim Bey was treated with the ut¬ most courtesy, and was informed, so far as diplotnany allowed, of the alti¬ tude of Greece on tho Creteu question. His protest,’however, w as, so far as known, productive of no result. The Greek government will not recall (he flotilla, and furthermore a second flo¬ tilla will soon start for Crete. Tho troubles in the islands liavo caused many of tho residents to flee to Greece for safety. Since the outbreak began fully 8,000 Cretans have arrived at the Piraeus. Many of tho refugees are unable to care for themselves and the govern¬ ment will be compelled to extend aid to them. ( ARSON IS THE BATTLE GROUND. rrl/.o JFfght Promoter Stewart Is Now at the Nevada Town. Dan Stuart, the promoter of the fight between Corbett and Fitzsim¬ mons, arrived at Carson City, Nev., Thursday morning, and after a confer¬ ence with those interested, stated pub¬ licly that the fight between Corbett and Fitzsimmons would take place in Carson. On being asked if he thought tho place could accommodate tho immense crowds, Stewart replied: “ I have looked into the matter care¬ fully in every way and consider the facilities ample for accommodation and transportation of the crowd. The climate in this beautiful valley is all that mortal could wish." The sito of the pavilion has not as yet been selected, but it is thought it will be inside tho city limits, RIVAL OF THE MARTINS. Major Gintov Will Civo n Graml Colonial Ball al Klclimoml. Major Lewis Ginter, tho millionaire tobacco man, will give a magnificent ball at Richmond, A T n., on the 18th. It bids fair to rival the Brudley-Mavtin entertainment. All of the guests will appear in the costume of a colonial ancestor. The Bvadlcy-Martius and a number of New Yorkers will probably attend. CIRUJEDA PROMOTED. IS*- It Was Who Commanded the Yroops That Killed Mncoo. A dispatch from Havana says that the former Major Cirnjeda,who was in command of the troops in the engage¬ ment in which Antonio Mncoo was killed, lias been promoted to a col¬ onelcy. Colonel Cirujoda reported Thursday that he had captured the camp of the robot commandant, Vilaneuvo, on the north coast of the province of Havana. Dolphin Fires on Three Friends.

The Chioa' > Journal states that Cu- ban bonds to the extent of over $15.- 030,009 have been secretly issued and disposed of in the United States and elsewhere during tho past twelve months. The greatest precaution has been ex¬ ercised by the junta in the handling of those securities for tho reason that un¬ til very recently there has boon a ques¬ tion of whether the issuing of bonds of the republic of Cuba was a viola¬ tion of international law. PROPOSITION’ BY HAN'JTAUX. French Foreign Minister Working n Kronen-Itnsfclnu Seheme. A cable dispatch from London says: M. Hanotaux, the French foreign min¬ ister, has initiated proposals that the powers blockade Crete and that, they also occupy Canea, Retimo and tho other centers of disorder, ponding a settlement of the dispute, that will be satisfactory to tho Cretans. Active negotiations on these propo¬ sals aro now proceeding. GROWERS ASK PROTECTION. farmers Who liaise Sea Island Cotton Want Duty I'nt on Imports. There was a large and thoroughly attentive and appreciative inectiugheld at Blackshear, Ga., Thursday by the farmers of Pierce county to consider the present ruinously low prices of ■ a island cotton and to devise, if possible, some prices. means After to considerable bring about better resolutions discussion, thusiastically were adopted, unanimously which, and en¬ in part, are as follows: “Whereas, Sea island cotton has now reached a price at which it cannot be produced at u profit except in a few favored eases which are notable ex- ceptions to the rule, notwithstanding ive, the growers, labor hard from early morning till night, day in and day out, year in and year out, and still are not able to provide our families with the necessities and advantages to which they are justly entitled: and, “Whereas, The price is now 20 per cent lower than one season ago and 40 per cent lower than two seasons ago, during which period the crop ha .« iii- creased in size from 75,000 bales to 105,000 bales; and, “Whereas, In ail probability a larger crop will mean that prices next season will bo 20 per cent lower (ban they are now, judging from the expe¬ rience of the last two seasons, and as prices are now below the cost of pr< auction, we look with fear into the future; therefore, be it “Resolved, That we, growers of sea island cotton in Pierce county, unite for self-protection into an organization to ho called the Sea Island Cotton Grower’s Union, whose object shall be tlireo-fold, viz.: “First, to produce sea island cotton at less cost; second, to produce sea island cotton of bettor quality; third, to use all means in our power to in¬ crease tho price of sea island cotton.

BEFORE A CIVIL TRlilUNAL. Newspaper Corrcsp Tried undent Soovcl Will V»e. ill (’ulm. The state department, has been noti¬ fied that the Spanish authorities will accord Sylvester Seovel, the Now York World correspondent arrested in Cuba, a trial before a civil tribunal. The trial, however, must take place origi¬ nally in Santa Spiritus. The law, like that of the United States, requires the trials to take place in the same province where the of¬ fense was committed. It is probable, iu case the verdict is against Seovel in this trial, an appeal will be entertain¬ ed which will permit of the removal of the cas6 to Havana, according to the desirxi.f Consul General Lee. { BUTLER UNDER TWO CHARGES.

A San Francisco dispatch says: Au- j other complaint has been filed against j Butler, alias Ashe, the alleged Austi n- j | Uau cut-throat, by Consul General .T, \Y. NYarhutton, formally charging him with tho murder of Arthur Preston, in Australia, praying for a warrant for Butler’s arrest and a decree of extradi¬ tion after Butler’s examination. The new complaint is an extreme precaution against tho result of the failure to make out a case in the pres¬ ent extradition proceedings. SUED ON’ KION'S ROM).

SENATOR SHERMAN IS ANXIOUS TO DISPOSE OF THE M ATTER. REPORT ON BLACK-WATSON CASE. Tho Contest Decided In Favor of Major Black-—Other Doings of Congress. Some Brief Notes. The senate Thursday passed bills to provide for times and places for federal law trials in Oklahoma and for the re¬ tirement of enlistmed men in the army and navy after thirty years continuous service, at three-quarters pay. The diplomatic consular appropriation bill was taken up. An executive session (for the consideration of the arbitration treaty) was begun at 1:30 o’clock. As Boon as the arbitration question was called in executive session Senator Turpie secured the floor and began to speak in advocacy of the treaty. He discussed the matter in its various phases and was listened to with close attention. Just before the adjourn¬ ment Senator Sherman notified the senate that it was time an agreement was reached when tho final vote should he taken. Mr. Sherman asked if unani- mows consent could not he ha:l for some day next week. Mr. Morgan, the most persistent opponent of the treaty, demurred. A colloquy follow¬ ed between these two senators, with others occasionally putting in a word, in which it was apparent that Mr. Sherman would bo unable to secure any kind of agreement, and he there¬ fore gave up his effort. Without preliminary business the house Thursday considered the fortifi¬ cations bill. Mr. Bartlett (democrat), of Georgia, on behalf of the elections committee No. 1, submitted a unani¬ mous report in the contested election ease of Watson vs. Black from the tenth Georgia district in favor of Black. Mr. Bartlett stated he would call up the case at such time as was convenient to the contestant. A bill regarding the funding of the debts of the territories aroused much opposi¬ tion because it had a gold stipulation as regards Arizona, and the result was a long financial discussion. The senate, Wednesday, devoted the time prior to counting the electoral vote to a discussion of Mr. Tillman’s bill to give each state absolute control of the liquor traffic, so that it may ex¬ ercise police control of foreign-made as well as home-made liquors. Messrs. Mills and Vest opposed tho bill as in¬ house terfering with interstate commerce. A bill extending the time for com- plying with the requirements of the act forfeiting railroad lands, was passed on motion of Mr. McBride, of Oregon. It applies to lands on the Northern Pacific. After returning from the electoral count the senate took up tho Nicaragua canal bill, Mr. Morgan, its (democrat), of Alabama, speaking in favor, at the conclusion of which he withdrew the bill, giving notice that he would press it at an early day of the extra session. 1 ‘f t,vo }io ’ lrs Tnmlaythe m i Ronftto .

Spain has promised to release Julio Sanguilly, sentenced in Cuba to life imprisonment for alleged conspiracy against its government. Secretary Olney has received from Madrid nn answer to the representations lie made through Minister Taylor several weeks ago to the effect which is given above. According to the official report from Naval Constructor Linnard of his ex¬ amination of the cruiser Brooklyn af¬ ter her bottom was exposed in the League island dry dock, that vessel’s injuries ate more serious than at first reported, and it will probably take three weeks to remedy tlio damage at an expense which may reach as high as #50,000 There is a market awaiting American oak lumber in France, according to United States Commercial Agent An¬ gel! at Bonbaix. Ho says in a report to tbe state department that one firm alone stands ready to take $400,000 worth annually in place of Hungarian oak, if proper connections can be mado with American lumber exporters. The government of Venezuela lias retained Hon. William L. Scruggs as its agent in the handling of its ease before the arbitrators created under the treaty which has just been signed. Some light is thrown on where the seeds go and their amount by a recent br/xytin from the agricultural depart¬ ment. The figures show that vegetable and field seeds were sent out last year sufficient in quantity to plant 227,316 acres—this in addition to the large quantity of flower seeds. In all there was sent out 1,290,000 pounds of seed. Senator Marion Butler, according to reports, proposes to have tho election of Senator Dr it chard, his rival a ad colleague, investigated. lie believes he has the necessary evidence to sub¬ stantiate his charge that, there was wholesale purcli Novel Present for the Sultan. The Smithsonian Institution lias de¬ cided to make the Sultan of Turkey a present of a life-size figure of a Sioux Indian chief. The figure will repre¬ sent a chief arrayed for a war dance in war blanket ami moccasins with his costume decorated with a profusion of beads. If the Sultan had picked a war chief at the height of his glory from the band in Dakota lie would not have a more realistic specimen than the one prepared for him at the Smithsonian Institution. When Secretary Langley, of tills in¬ stitution, made a trip to Turkey in the summer of 1895 he was accompanied by Dr. Cyrus Adler, tihe famous orien¬ talist, The Sultan presented them with several albums of magnificent photo¬ graphs, and intimated that he would be only too glad to send a contribution to the National Museum. It was naturally thought proper that these courtesies should be reciprocated. nnl Secretary Langley came to tiie conclusion that there could be no more appropriate gift than one that would be typical of tihe Aboriginal life of rlii.i country. Orders were given to con struct the figure* of a Sioux chief, ant) tills, after long care and study, 'lias just been completed. The figure will be boxed ail'd shipped, freight prepaid, to the Sultan this week. It will be Ac¬ companied bv a number of articles used in domestic and martial life by the Sioux. A New and Novel Leg. A European experimenter lms pro. diK’o.l ■an-artSficinl leg. It as nearly re- schlblcs a human member as any that can be devised. This artificial leg is a curious con- trivanee of hinges, screws and elastic hands. Extending downward from about what in 'the human leg is the ankle, to a point midway between the heel and the instep, are two steel ro.Tx, placed one in front of the other. One rests on a sort of roller hinge, and allows the foot to give or head with each step. The other serves the purpose of bringing tlie foot back into place after tlie .-'top is taken. Any lateral movement of these rods is prevented by the sides of the slot through which they move. A screw and n nut at the top of the rod also prevent the rod from turning and thus giving trouble in walking. An artificial heel tendon is placed within the foot, behind (lie ankle joint, and extends loosely through a hole in the leg. where it connects with a nut about midway up the limb. Where He Drew the Line. Among the first stories recorded by Mr. T. E. Pritt in his “Angler’s Bas¬ ket,” is one about a Scottish laird who was relating the story of a tine fish he had caught one day to his friends at tho dinner table. “Donald,” said he to the Servant behind his chair-—an old man, but a new servant—“how heavy was tho fish I took yesterday?” Donald neither spoke nor moved. The laird repeated the question. “Weel,” replied Donald, “it was twal’ pund at breakfast, it had gotten to achteen at dinner-time, and it was sax-and-twenty when yo sat down to supper wi’ the captain.” Then after a pause he added, “I’ve been telliu’ lees a’ my life to please the shooters, but I’ll be blowed if I’m going to tell lees noo, through my old age, to please the f ushers.” Slighted.
