NEwFoUNDLAND1N A FURY.

The Action of the French Gun Boat
Fires the People.
HALIFAX, N g., June 4.-Newfoundland
papers received by the steamer Miranda to-
night are filed with fierce articles on the st.
George Bay outrage, giving the latest par
ticulars of the affair. One of them says the
fact that an armed body of French went in
their boats to place in the harbor of Sandy
Point, where the nets of the
Newfoundland fishermen were set,
aud under the very guns of the
Pelican ordered them taken out of the water
was "forcible invasion" by foreign
power of the maritime Jurisdiction of
Great Britain and Newfoundland Yet it
was acquiesced in by the commander of
the British man-of-war. A French
officer, fully armed. came on shore at Sandy
Point and read to the assembled British
citizens notice commanding them TO take
up their nets. Even this last and more i'm
pudent outrage failed to stir the blood of
the British naval officers to resistance.

LYNCHING SUSPECTED.

Newman Excited Over Rumors in the
Howard Case.
NEWMAN, GA, June 4.-The whole city
is in a high state of excitement over the
reported lynching of Ben Scraggs, the negro
tiend who assaulted Mrs. Ida Howard on
yesterday. 1t is hard to get reliable news,
as the current rumors are conglomerated to
great extent. 1t would necessarily be
very difficult for the lady to identify the
negro, as his face was concealed with a
handkerchief, leaving nothing but his eyes
exposed to view. During the interview
had with her yesterday, she said that she
would know the voice of the negro, and it
is probable and believed by the greater
portion of the people that he was done
away with in some manner unknown to the
public.

CORPUT IN THE RACE.

reasons Mr.. Corput arose, and a
lively colloquy occurred. Dir. Corrupt
left after awhile, aud some Of
the audience. Mr. Clements spoke Of the
injustice. to ether classes, and the fraud
aud corruption 1t would develop. There is
no parallel between this demand and the
whisky bill. He cared not whether Corrupt
or he, or any other man went To congress
on this issue. He was the farmers friend,
and had always voted for them, but this
measure was bad one. Mr. Clements was
greatly applauded, and stands mistaken in

Up Their Differences.
AUGUSTA. GA, June 4.-The Aiken law
yers did not fight, and the Augusta news
paper men had wild goose chase to Sand
Bar Ferry last night. The basis for the
duel rumor was an episode in the court
house at Aiken In which p A. Emanuel, in
the heat of passion, made statements that
Col. Crafts conduct was such that he should
be disbarred, and other similar discrediting
remarks. These statements were told to
Col. Craft by his friends, to whom they
had been made. Col. Craft then wrot Q
to Mr. Emanuel asking if he made such
statements. Mr.. Emanuel replied, stating
that he had, aud Col. CRAFTS reply to this
letter was very bitter. At this stage of the
controversy it is probable that the rumors
of duel were circulated by friends of the
parties who knew that correspondence was
in progress. The fact that an arbitration
board took the matter in hand and secured
retractions and apologies was not generally
known until to-day.

THE PLATFORM.
The platform reaffirms the principles of
the national democratic platform OF 1888,
and maintains, with Grover Cleveland, that
unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation ;
that taxation shall be reduced to the needs
of an economical operation of the govern
m mt; that such reduction shall be made on
the necessaries of life in common use by the
people, and that this shall be done with
direct reference to the best interests of
American labor as well as the preservation
of our manufacturing intere its.
We adhere to these principles because
they are in the interests of the
great mass Of the people, and are in marked
opposition to the policy that fosters monopo-
lies, cramps commerce and cripples agri-
culture by narrowing its market, imposes
unequal and unjust burdens upon the neces-
saries of the laborer, and concentrates an
unjust share or the earnings of the whole
into the hands of the millionaire

ACHIEVEMENTS OF FAKIRs.


They Live for Weeks and Even Months In
State OF Trance.
There are various circumstances
which must exert modifying influence,
and either increase or diminish the
period during which life can be sus-
tanned in the absence of food. Other
things being equal, stout person has a
chance of living longer than a thin one,
inasmuch as he possesses larger store
of com bustible material which will
serve him as fuel. Exposure to cold in
conjunction with starvation always ac-
CELEBRATES death, while q moderately
high temperature aids in prolonging
life. The presence of moisture in the
effect, inasmuch as it diminishes the
exhalation of fluid from the body. 1t is
probably owing to warmth and moisture
that persons buried in mines or con-
fined in some similar manner have had
their lives preserved beyond the ordi-
nary period. In morbid states OF the
nervous system, life may be prolonged
in the most extraordinary manner in
the absence of food. In a remarkable
case, recorded by DIR. william, of a young
gentleman who starved himself under
the influence of religious delusion,
life was prolonged for sixty days, dur
ing the whole of which time nothing
but little orange juice was taken.
Somewhat analogous to the cases just
mentioned are those in which all food
is abstained from while the person is in
state of trance or partially suspended
animation. This state may be pro-
longed for many days or even for weeks,
provided that the body be kept sufficient
ly warm. The most remarkable in
stances of this character have been fur
nished by certain Indian fakirs. who are
able to reduce themselves to state re-
sembling profound collapse, in which
all vital operations are brought almost
to a standstill In one case the man
was buried in an underground cell for
six weeks, and carefully watched; in
another the man was buried for ten
days in grave lined with masonry, and
covered with large slabs of stone. When
the bodies were disinterred they re-
sembled corpses and no pulsation could
be detected at the heart or in the
arteries Vitality was restored hy
