now that they arc going In 20 extensively

Why should m American have to pay eleven

Japan his scanty store of money was

Mai! steamer as Storage passenger.
With him in the dungeon below were
several hundred Chinese emigrants.
They looked upon the intrepid
preacher with wonder as be picked

of an experience which few men
would have survived. Only the nature
as desperately courageous as that OF
the American traveller would have
encountered the subsequent hardships
and privations without breaking.
The voyage was extremely rough. for
days and days the vessel being at the

in the tempest on the billowy deep.

to him. He then went to the next
house and there got an order for

she seated herself on the step OF a

Just before everything was ready she
concluded that the founces would

accordingly she rose up. Then the
photographer lifted the cloth from the

prisoner in a nest OF vermin,

a small army. The noisome charac-
ter OF the horrible place was rendered
more and more unendurable by the
shocking habits of the Orientals and
the continuance OF their confinement
5ss-sickness was generally prevalent
among them. This alone would have
contaminated the air beyond q posi-.
bility of healthiulness. What was
worse, a type OF varioloid broke out
among the heather, who suffered the
fortunes of the damned in the agonies
OF disease. There was NO relief, what.
ever, the officers OF the ship seeming
to be powerless to better the condition
of things. Aware OF the dangers to
which he was exposed, Mr.. CLARK APP
pealed to be removed to another part
OF the vessel, offering as security for
the ultimate payment OF his passage
more than it's value in watch and
chain and q collection of curiosities
and trinke's picked up during the
tour. Seven dollars was the extent of
his ready money. The officers of the
ship, however, refused to allow him
to come fo,th on any consideration.
He begged, prayed, pleaded for release
from the horrors OF his situation.
There was, however, no escape, The

Darkness reigned below, the overpoB-
ering oppressiveness OF the place being
broken in upon by the snrieks OF the
agonized passengers, which never
ceased by day or night. He'll could
not be crowded with scenes more hor.
rible. One OF the poor fellows lay
dying in his bunk near Mr.. Clark for
several days. The tortures he lived
through were most pitiful. No atten-
ton was paid to him by HE fellows,
who we're either too stupid with
opium or too sick themselves to care
for their best friend. One morning
Mr.. CLARK found the unfortunate
heather dangling out OF his berth, a
corpse, his eyes staring in the semi
darkness with fearful agony, showing
what his end must have been. Word
was sent 10 the deck of the death.
Three or four hulking seamen came

Owing to the fact being noised
about that an American Was in the

ST. NIARY's RIVER SECTION.
New Railroad Route from Florida North
via st. Mary's, Ga.

Amid the many railway rumblings, -
says correspondent of the Florida Mir
r0r, whose echoes have unfortunately
hitherto beenvery distant for us Jewellers
by the sea- at st. Mary's, we have been
especially pleased of late to find the at
tention of certain s'prOspectorsv. fif orr
railway friends will excuse the appliea-
ton of the familiar mining term to their
prOceedings), turned to this point, and
anxious inquiries being made 40 to the
best crossing near, or at st. Mary's. for a
railway connecting the existing systems
in Georgia with those of Florida at Harris
road, etc. But better than any OF these
fragmentary schemes, so to speak, is the
far more comprehensive one, which looks
to line from Millen to Jesup, ga, and
from thence via St. Mary's to Hart's road
or Jacksonville, Fla.
The charter from JeSup to st. Mary's
has already been obtained and the charter
parties are willing to cooperate and COM
plete the line from Millen to Jacksonville.
This line will reYolutionize the Northern
travel from New York and the Eastern
States, inasmuch as, being almost a bee
line from Millen to Jacksonville, the dis
lance to Washington or New York will be
shortened, so we are informed, by six to
seven hours, and the position of the COM
pany be absolutely unassailable by any
rival at any future time, as it will be i'm
possible to Out1ank it. A line so lOca ted
would not only attract and absorb all the
Northern or S08thern-bOund freight and
passenger traffic, but at st. Mary's pos
sess one of the finest ports in the South.
Our representatives in Congress have
recently introduced a bill for the apprO-
priatiOn Of 100000, to be expended in
carrying forward the jetty system ca our

already etfectIng a marked improvement,
the present depth being about 10 feet,
which, on the completion of the jetty
works, it is confidently predicted will be
increased to from 26 to q feet.
The incOrpOratOrs of the Georgia and
Florida Barge Canal are also very hope
iul that the negotiations now pending in
London viii be brought to a satisfactory
issue and work be soon commenced,
Should this. be so, the anxiety of our rail
way friends to ''cUltivate our acquaint-
ance," so pleasingly apparent at present,
Is the more easily accounted for.
may add, an admirable crossing at the
st. Mary's river, with singularly good ia
cilities for approaches, drawbridge, etc,
has been lOcaIed about one mile from the
town of st. Mary's and, therefore, the
most favorable point for the contemplated
junction at Harris road. AS to shipping
facilities: vessels leaving the wharVes at
st. Mary's are clear of the bar in one
hour-a more favorable showing than any
harbOr on the coast, excepting that of
Fernandlna, which IS similar.

MIR. sPRINGER,s COMMITTEE.
A Demand that 1t Shall Give the Public
Something New

WAsHINGTON, FEB. 13.-There is moth
ing yet to show that the popular opinion
that there have been gross and irregular
extravagances- in the Department of JUS
tice proper wss.not well founded. On the
other hand, Mr.. Springer's committee has
not yet done anything of itself to unearth
what 1t was organized to discover. The
committee seems, to use a yulgarism. to
have struck q blind lead, which they are
trying to convince the public is a newly
discovered and open highway to original
developments Of frauds. But it has done
nothing Of the kind. A good deal
has been beard of about what Mr.. SPRING
er's committee is unearthing and has un-
earthed. Mr.. Springer's committee has
unearthed nothing and is unearthing
nothing. All it has done and all it is do
ing is embraced in the testimony of spe-
cIal agents Of the Department of Justice.
These agents have only told Mr.. SPRING
er's committee and are only telling it
what they have already embodied in their
reports to the Attorney General. In other
words, they are only orally detailing to
Mr.. Springer's committee what they have
subGitted in writing long ago to their
chief. Take the case of Gen. LOngstreet,
United States Marshal at Atlanta, for an
example. What the special agents are
telling Mr.. Springer about Gen.
IOngtreets administration of his office IS
practically what was reported upon two
years ago. The contents of those reports
were at that time made known to the peo-
pie of Georgia through the Washington
/ correspondence Of the MORNING NEWS.
/ 1t is the same with all the other testi-
mony taken by Mr.. Springer and his CON-
mittee. They have been simply delving
into the misty past. The prehistoric re-
searches of the committee are becoming
the subject of deal Of good-natured crit
icism among the members of the House.

THE WHISKY BILL.
Its Friends are Pressing the Ways and
Means Committee to Report 1t.

Ats Friends are Pressing the Ways and
Means Committee to Report 1t.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The members
of Congress interested in the passage of a
bill to extend the bonded period of whisky,
are just now beleaguering the Ways and
Means Committee OF the House in favor
of the Willis bill, which extends that pc
riod two years from November LIST last.
They are using all the old arguments
which have been so repeatedly advanced.
They have no5hing new to say except that
they are more positive than ever that
unless the bill Becomes Il law there viii
be calamities, WOefll and awful, stalk
ing through a nUmber of Western States.
To all appearances the majority of
the Ways and Means Committee do not
seem to listen with avidity to the PROPOSE
ton that the government shall lend the
whisky men $80,000,000 for two years,
without interest. There seems to be but
very little reason to believe that the bill
will be fav0rably reported by the commit
tee. If it is so reported, IL will hardly pass.
Senator Beck has charge of q bill identi-
cal with the Willis bill, which is now be-
fore the Finance Committee of the Senate.
The bill seems to have q much better
chance with that committee than it has
with the Ways and Means of the House.
There is a curious circumstance con-
nected with the whisky agitation this
session. Heretofore prominent distillers
have been on hand working like beavers
for their relief bill. They have now, how
ever. come to the wise conclusion that
their presence here is open to suspicion
and does their case more harm than COED.
Very few of them are seen here now.
