two principal reasons, which | thlnl.

the fact that the people Of Kansas are

resolution WAS heartily indUrScd bv

OF the late movements

IN establishing those amicahlc and

"Ihr second reason lies in the wofully

called for its abolition. The report de-
clared the grand jury superlluous ad-

inclined, an opportunity to crafty NAL

Coal, Coke and Iron.

Trinidad, Col, bids fair to become another
Pittsburg or Birmingham. Surrounding it are
600 square miles of the finest coal lands in the
world. producing an average Of 10, 900 tons per
acre of coking coal, the coke Of which is driv-
ing all eastern cokes out Of the western market.
The coal Is shipped freely all over the country
to the east and the south, the Missouri river
and the gulf and southwest almost to the
Pacific coast and Old Mexico.
The immense mountains OF iron ore that lie
a little back have been explored and are soon
to be brought into market. With the large
smelling and iron and steel industries tina,
must soon be established in Trinidad az the
outcome Of this rare and happy combination
of raw materials it is certain not only that
Trinidad will become one of the great manu-,
featuring cities of the country. but also that
Colorado will ultimately establish her claim
that she is as rich in the more humble but
highly valuable minerals Of coal and iron az
Pennsylvania and Alabama, and at the same
time maintain her high rank as the second
greatest precious ore producing state in the
Union. For full information address Trinidad

| tho vice president "She floats" he cried. and
every man felt great weight lifted from him.
More than hundred yards inshore. almost on
the reef, the Roxaua could be seen Juggling at
her anchor chain. At one moment her bow
was buried under water. the next it was high in
the air.
The one desire now was to reach her. The
sun was getting low and the water between us
and the sound was still rising. There must be
some wading done and perhaps some swim
ming, and 1t must be done before dark Then
came the moment for the novice to make him
self useful. He had hunted over all that low
ground for ycllow-leg snipe during the morn
Ing and knew that there was . ridge of hard
sand running in an irregular course in about
the direction they wanted to 60. He knew also
| that there was quicksand in that vicinity, for
he had been nearly caught in it. So he acted
as pilot and all got across without wading
deeper than up to the knees
AFTER THE BLOW.
The water Of the sound was 30 rough that il
was with great difficulty and no little danger
that we got on board the Roxana again, being
rowed over two at q time by the mate, who
came off after us. The schooner had had
rough time of it, as may be imagined. Three
water spouts had formed and borne down
toward her until within SO yards, when they
swerved little to one side and swept around
her stern, passing close enough to turn the
yawl bottom upward. The captain was pre-
pared for blow and had everything as snug
as possible, but everything the wind could get
hold of was whisked away. The schooner.
tossed and pounded by the gale and deluged
with water. dragged her anchor for hundred
or a hundred and fifty yards, and when the
rest of the party came aboard she was pound
ing the bar viciously. The master Of the rods
distinguished himself by crawling along the
deck on his belly and saving the clubs fishing
tackle, when the whole crew had found it nee
essary to keep below deck to avoid being blown
away. We have no less authority than his own for
the statement that he also saved the vessel and
that his GOODNESS during the great danger
phenomenal He stood dripping on the deck
when the rest of the club returned, his hat
gone and water running from his hair, and
they all fell upon his neck and wept. They
made SO much Of a hero of him that when the
major presented him with q new hat it needed
to be three sizes larger than tho one blown
away and on several occasions during the rest
Of the trip he rather limited that some special
consideration should be shown him in the mat

OF about ten ton, light draft and broad beam.
The five members Of the South Mountain Fish
ing Club made up her passenger list and her
cargo consisted Of provisions, guns, ammuni-
ton. tackle and such other things as might be
necessary to the comfort and safety of the club
during two weeks cruise. There is but one
South Mountain Fishing Club, therefore it is
unnecessary to state that this party was made
up Of the most distinguished correspondents
Who edit newspapers from Washington. None
OF them wore their Sunday clothes, and they
al got to looking more or less like pirates be-
fore the cruise ended; but that's what they
were there for, to wear old clothes, look tough
and have a good time with whatever fish and
game there might be between Currituck and
Hatteras. They had not been afoat three days
when by unanimous vote it was decided that,
barring one, they were the most disreputable-
looking set of pirates afoat. There always was
and still is difference of opinion as to who
the respectable-loOking member of the club
was, and modesty prevents the writer from
fee that there no difference of opinion
about the character of the cruise. 1t was
sventful, interesting and successful
This trip had been talked over for . long
time before 1t was ventured upon and the plans
had been well laid, but there is no use laying
plans. All trips into an unknown country are
bound to be different from what is anticipated
either for better or for worse.
In this case it was for better. The trip lay
from Washington to Norfolk by steamer, thence
from Norfolk to Elizabeth City, N. c., by rail,
after which the cruise began.
THE CRUISING WATERS
were in the Currituck sound, Albemarle sound
and Pimlico sound, all of which are cut off
from the ocean by a little streak of sand The
schooner was chartered for such time az the
club wanted to hold it and thev were prepared
30 meet either fish or game of any size, but
fish they were after particularly and they re-
sisted all temptation to delay the cruise for
bird shooting in tho vicinity Of Elizabeth City,
where game is in abundance. They were eager
to be on the water, to breathe the salt air and
seek adventure. The colonel took to the water
