erals, published at Geneva, by whom they
are very highly commended.
In this June number Mr.. Kennan gives an
interesting account Of his visit to the for
warding prison at Tiumen, where he found
double the number Of prisoners confined
than there was room for.
In reply to a question from Mr.. KEENAN,
as to how many prisoners died during the
year, the warden replied:
"About three hundred. We have an cpl
demic Of typhus almost every fall. A
prison so overcrowded can not be kept
clean, and as for the air in the cells, you
know now what it is like. The local author
tiles here have again and again urged the
Government to make adequate provision
for the large number Of exiles crowded In
to the prison during the season of naviga-
ton, but thus far nothing has been done be-
yond the building Of two log barracks"
In the overcrowded women's prison Mr..
Kennan says he found no criminals-all Of
the occupants were voluntarily going into
Punishment with their husbands. -

Five In one Year.

CHARLESTON, S. c., October 3.-An
event occurred near this city which
gives the Democrats some concern. Mrs.
Crane Washington, a colored ma!ron liv-
ing near this city, promises to Increase
the colored population to such an extent
as to render the State hopelessly Repub.
lican, provided the coIored population
remains true-to its past traditions. Last
January she presented Mr.rWashington
with triplets. The surprised parent at
once took steps to change his name. He
had heard about Washington being the
father of his country, and he didn 'tknow
how much there might be in name:
he dropped tho matter, however. But
to day tie responsibilities of pareutage
again developed upon him. This time
it was only twins, making total of i've
in the past year, with a cold winter
ahead. The pickaninnies are said to be
as black as tar, and lively as crlckets,
The Democratic party cen stand no such
increase, and is thinking seriously OF
recruiting its ranks from the colored vot.

Constitutional Amendments.
Two amendments to the Constitution
will be voted upon by the people of the
State at the general election on November

J.. The first of the two amendments is
submitted by authority of q joint resolu
tion of the General Assembly which was
approved December l9, 1887, and relates
to the Court of Probate. It proposes TO
amend Article ~ of the Constitution SO
that Section 90 shall read as follows:
ga Court of. Probate shall be estab
lished in each county, with jurisdiction
in all matters testamentary aud OF ad-
ministration in business pertaining to
minors, and the allotment OF dover, in
cases of idiocy and lunacy and persons
non compos mentis. The judge of said
Court shall be elected by the qualified
electors of the respective counties for q
term of four years.
The only change is in extending the
term of the Probate Judge from two yeals
to four. So that the election Of Probate
Judge, if the amendment be adopted, will
take place every four years hereafter,
instead of every two years, as at present.
2. The second amendment to. the
Constitution is submitted by joint reso.
luton of the General Assembly which
was approved December 10, 1887, and
proposes TO strike out Section.2 Of Article
10 of. the Constitution. The section
proposed TO be stricken out is as follows:
"There shall be elected biennially, in
each county, by the qualified electors
thereof, one school commissioner, the said
commissioners to constitute State board
of education, of which The State Super.
ientendent shall, by virtue ofhis office,
be chairman; the powers, duties and
compensation of the members OF said
board shall be determined by law"
The effect of the adoption of this
amendment will be to give the Legis]a
tnre the entire control of the manner Of
appointing or electipg the school com
missioners,. and of the duties and com
pensation of the State board ofeducation.
This, therefore, is highly important
matter. It has been sloutly argued that
the State board of education cen be made
stronger and the administration of the
public schools be improved, if the
commissioners of the respective counties
be appointed instead Of being elected,
and that change in the structure of the
State board Of education can be made
with advantage.-Neacs and Courier.

The Awful Experience Of a Diver.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.-Recenlly
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company
employed Victor Hinston, q professional
diver, at $3.50 per day, to 60 down and
examine the machinery of the steiner
City of Chester, which was sunk in the
waters of Golden Gate last August by
collision with the Oceanic. The diver
located the vessel in fifty fathoms of
water, cut in two as if by an immense
saw. While looking into the steerage
the first thing which met his eyes was
the form of man standing with dis.
torted face and tongue hanging from his
mouth. The body was swollen to twice
it's natural size. Going a little further
aft he saw another victim of that wreck
on his knees grasping third man
around the waist. The diver returned
to the surface and reported his discovery
to the officers, but nothing could induce
him to return to the wreck.
