THE CRANES ISLAND HOME.
a Great Nesting Place for Them on an
Island off the Georgia Coast.


lslapd of the Georgia Coast.
Visitors to Daufuskie Island during
the summer tell Of the roosting and
breeding places OF the cranes on the
island. Storks, cranes and bitterns
spend the day along the estuaries of
the seacoast and wade and fly over the
miles and miles of salt marshes.
Along about o'clock in the afternoon
they begin to collect in the matted
shrubbely and underground of Dau-
fuskie Island for the night. They fly
singly, by pairs, and in iiocbs ranging
from twenty-five to fifty.
4 gentleman who was NARROWING
on the island few days ago said that
he was ignorant of the habits of the
sea fowl, and one evening, near twi-
light, he was returning to his quar-
tiers, and when passing near dense
thicket he heard a grea: chattering,
and many OF tile voices sounded like
that OF humans. Resting on his gun
lie listened at;entive!y, and finally
came 10 the conclusion that it WAS q

into the tllicket, when, with wild
shrek and Screech, some 400 or 500
cranes few cut. cjrclcd about q while,

ing their supply of water no wells were
found. The sufferings of the party then
became intense, and Scott and Loop lay
down to die. The formers throat had
swollen so that the glands were closed, as
in cases of diphtheria. Delirium followed,
in which visions of cascades and ocean
surf played through the minds of the
sufferers.
In the night Patterson, nerved by his
own agony and that of his associates, went
in search of water, and had the good for
tune to find it four miles from camp. This
saved the lives of the party. and next day
the tramp was resumed over very rough
country Some streams and pools were
found, but these were absorbed within
few hours after by the dry air, one consid-
cradle brook vanishing while they stood be-
side it at midday.
The journey was continued for several
days, but the water supply was SO precari-
GUS that the party retraced their steps, be-
ing compelled, before reaching Camp
Alams, to live on flour and tea made from
the water of salt spring. During sixteen
of the seventeen days consumed by the ex-
petition the heat was intense. On the
other day it ralned. drenching the travellers
to the skin.

FRESNO, October 9ih.-This morning the
delegates to the Grand Lodge, Independent
Order of Good Templars, were driven
through the colonies. Since the rain the
roads are fine. Everything is fresh and
delightful, and the trip had all in loud
praise of what they saw, and EXPLANATIONS
of surprise were the order of the day.
The Lodge was called TO order at P NJ,
and routine work occupied the afternoon.
Several constitutional amendments were
introduced and laid over till tomorrow.
They will affect District Lodges, and give
Juvenile Lodges the right to representation
in the Grand Lodge, if adopted. "A resolu-
ton was introduced to discontinue the
Rescue as the official organ and substitute
the Prohibaiontst, ibut il was voted down
unanimously. A resolution to reduce the
salary of the Grand Secretary met with the
same fate The salaries of the Grand Sec
rotary and General Superintendent of Ju-
venile Work were then fixed the same as
last year.
The great fight of the day was made on
the proposition TO rescind the former order
of the Grand Lodge, prohibiting dancing
in lodge rooms on lodge nights. The dis
cussion was spirited and lengthy, but the
fact that the lodges of the order are made
up largely of religious people, had weight
enough to cause the proposition to be voted
down.
The election of grand officers is the
special order for 10 A. NJ. tomorrow.

Efforts Will BE Made to Get the Dele
gates to Visit California.
SAN Francisco, October 9th-Among
the arrivals here this morning on the Gen.
trail overland train was NJ. NJ. Es,ee, the
Pacific coast delegate to the International
American Congress at Washington.
Mr.. Estee spoke freely regarding the
Congress, the men of which it is composed,
and its proposed work. Il cannot speak
too strongly in denying most emphatically
the reports that have been circulated re-
garding discussions in the Congress follow
ing the choice of Mr.. Blaine as presiding
officer. Let me tell you it was the South
American representatives who wanted him
as Chairman and proposed him. He was
selected by them by precedent. 1t is a
recognized universal rule among nations
that when one nation calls representatives
of other nations together for conference
that the Minister of Foreign Affairs shall
preside. This is the rule and that was done
at Montevideo, at Berlin, at Paris and at
other times. Mr.. Blaine is our Foreign
Affairs Minister and so he was the unani-
NOUS choice of the Congress.
~ was very much pleased with the cour-
tesy and urbanity of the representatives
from the South and Central American ma
tons. They are very distinguished gentle
men, and impressed all with their intelli-
gence and general courtesy.
"rhe foreign delegates are all going
through New England and the northern
States. They will reach Omaha on the
9th Of this month, according to plans, and
Mr.. Henderson-John B. Henderson, of
Missouri-and myself have beer delegated
to accompany the party through the
Central Western States. They are
going, as planned, around through
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and that
section of country, but do not plan to come
as far west as this. l think they should,
and propose to do all can to have them
come here. In the few weeks l am here
now l shall try and get up half carload,
say of our products-raisins and fruits, and
wines and some of the best things we can
show, if people will help me-and have
this display sent to Omaha for them to
look at on arrival there. l think that in
that way they may be induced to come out
here later. 1t would certainly be of adj
vantage to California to have these gentle
men from Central and South American Re-
publics know more about our State and
what it can produce"
1t is understood that the State Board of
Trade of which Mr.. Estee is a prominent
member, will follow out his suggestion TO
arrange typical display of California pro-
ducts TO show the foreign delegates to the
congress. Possibly some of the exhibit
of the new g California on Wheels"
will be in readiness, so that it could be
made good use of for this purpose. 1t is
expected that the new cars will be ready
to receive the exhibits some time next
week. The proposition of Mr.. Estee will
doubtless be discussed at the meeting of
the Board of Trades Executive Committee
on Tuesday next

WOODLAND. October b Last night a
cutting scrspe occurred about twenty miles
from Blacks Station, at HowelPs Point,
just on the border of Yolo and Colusa
counties, between Jack Turner aud one
Cook. It appears that Cook was watering
a stallion in place where some diseased
horses were watered. Turner, who gen.
orally cares for the horse, objected. Words
followed, whereupon Cook attacked Turner
with billet of wood, knocking him down
several times. They finally clinched and
fell to the ground, when Turner drew a knife
and cut Cook in two places, once in the
neck and once in the left side. The latter
wound will probably prove fatal. Turner
gave himself up TO the Constable at Blacks
Station.
