that this redoubtable attorney has

Smith, 1.-The rest of the cabinet officers

would never recognize a case of ability
unless 1t was marked, and that in plain

self-appointed prime counsellor OF the

that his head is hurting bin badly.

A CAPE BURSTS INTO BLAZE.
Fishermen Off Labrador Thought the
End of the World Had Come.
I,,o,,, tho Now Vorlr World

st. Johns, N. f., Aug. 13.-F'ishermen
off Cape Harrison, Labrador, were star
tied on Thursday Aug. 3, by strange
noises on shore and detonations like the
firing of heavy artillery. Shortly after
wards the top of the cape was seen to be
all ablaze, pillar of flame shooting up to
great height.
Some of the most venturesome fisher
men landed, thinking the brushwood COW
ering the ground might be on fire and in
tending to eXtinguish it, But they found
that the fire came out of the earth. A
large part The top of the cliff had fallen
in, leaving a vast chasm, from which
issued a stream of fire, stones, cinders and
steam.
The terrified fishermen returned to
their vessels, declaring that the world
was coming to an end, Many left the
region in fright, spreading the story Of
the phenomenon along the coast
The mail steamer Virginia, which has
arrived here from Labrador, distinctly
saw the colun& Of fire and an overhang-
ing cloud as she passed the cape. AT
night the flames were visible for many
miles. At the next port the facts just re-
lated were learned.
Cape Harrison sometimes called Cape
Webeck, is on the east coast of Labrador,
some $50 or 800 miles north of che Straits
of Belle Isle Tt is inhabited and fire.
quented only by fishermen from New
foundland. The captain of the Virginia,
who knows the coast thoroughly, de-
scribes the locality to the World CORE
spondent as almost a barren wilderness,
without a tree for miles and only the
very shortest growth Of brush covering
the ground.
Local scientists say that region is of
volcanic origin and susceptible to sub
terranean activity. The whole country is
composed OF vitreous rock heaped on one
another IN confusion, undoubtedly by vol
canic acCiOus
That Cape Harrison mas become an
active volcano is believed here.

OPENING UP NEW WINES.
: Specimen of Phosphate Dug Up

: specimen Of Phosphate Dug Up
From the S., T. and W. Roadbed.
Sup't r. C Fleming has on exhibition
st his office at the Savannah, Florida and
western railway a large piece of phos-
phate rock that was dug up from the
roadbed Of the Savannah, Florida and
Western near Fort White, Fla.
The rock weighs about fifteen pounds,
and is as fine q specimen of phosphate as
can be seen anywhere. Capt. Fleming
said the Dunnellon extension of the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway
will be opened up in October. 1t
runs from a point between High Springs
and Fort White southwark, through
Dunnellon to Plant City on the Silver
Springs and Ocala railroad, where it
makes connection with the South Florida
railroad for Tampa. The new road is
about eighty-two miles in length and runs
entirely through a phosphate country. A
large number of mines have already been
developed in this section and the new
road will furnish them an outlet to Tampa.
1t will be operated by the South Florida
railroad.
Mr. j. M. Lang, who does a large phos-
phate business through Savannah, says
there have been over II 900 tons of rock
shipped from Savannah in the last five
months, q larger amount than in any
previous season. The Strathspey sailed
for the continent this week with, 800
tons and the steamship Karoon is now
loading $500 tons of PHOSPHATE at the
Savannah, Florida and Western railroad
wharves.
Mr. Lang says the phosphate business
is not very active in Florida just now, on
account of the general financial depres-
sion and scarcity of money. A number of
the small mining companies have shut
down on this account, and a few of the
large companies Hardly any orders are
being placed now for immediate delivery,
and not very many for future delivery
In consequence the companies that are
still doing business are not
mining very heavily. The prices
have been fair, however, and the miners
have made some money.
Florida rock phosphate, Mr.. Lang says,
is now recognized as the best in the mar
ket and commands the highest price. On
account of the difference in freights in IA
vor of Charleston and Port Royal, how
ever, the price f. .. B. in Tampa is
about the same as at Charleston and Port
Royal. With improved financial condi-
tions a general revival is expected in the
phosphate business.

Boon to Steamship Companies.
From the Pail Mall Gazette
1t is more than remarkable that a Gus.
tom which arose shortly after the death,
some /, 800 years ago, of man whose
name was for centuries identified with ali
that was hostile to Christian domination
and opinion should, within the last few
years, have had an important and favora-
bic influence on the earnings of certain
British lines of steamers.
No race has been more enthusiastic in
the way of pilgrimage to the Holy City
of Ara bia than that inhabiting the Malay
Peninsula and Archipelago. Although
their conversion to Islamism dates back
only some five hundred years, if, indeed,
quite so long (the records of the event be-
ing decidedly vague and untrustworthyD
the duty of performing the Hal is rec
ognized by all right-minded Malays as
imperative. The peninsula itself proba-
bly, furnishes a far fewer num-
Der of pilgrims than the
large islands of the Archipelago forming
the magnificent territory known as
Netherlands India. Java and Celebes,
Boyan and Bugis, to say nothing of in
Vulnerable less-kuown places, now send
forth multitudes yearly to visit the
sacred fame. 1t would not, at first sight,
seem that the jounrney-mad principally
in well appointed steamers-inyolved any
particular hardships. But the usual con-
ditions of the pilgrim traffic" are some
what different from those of ordinary
passenger vessels. The Malay pilgrim.
whose ticket to and from Mecca is pro-
Vided by passenger broker, has to find
his own provisions while on board. In all
cases he has to pay smartly for convey
ence from Jeddah to Mecca overland,
unless he elects to do the journey on foot
but in any event he has TO provide the
necessary commissariat. The steamers,
as a rule, are overcroWded for ordinary
comfort. although permitted by regula-
tion to carry the 500 or more pilgrims
who embark Should, as some
times happens, an epidemic break
out during the voyage the death
rate becomes tragical. The worst hard
ships, however, commence on landing at
the eyil-smelling and by no means healthy
port of Jeddah. Few of the pilgrims pro-
vide themselves with adequate necessa-
ries to tramp the greater portion of the
100 miles which separate the city of Nee
ca from the nearest port. Yet worse is
their condition on returning The price
Of food is eEorOitant, and thousands per
ish annually of exhaustion and insufficient
nourishment-and this despite the best
efforts OF the British and other consuls at
Jeddah who issue all needful warnings
to the pilgrims. Quarantine, again. tells
heavily against the would-be Hail A
few extra days detention exhausts his
small stock of provisions, and he falls a
ready victim to disease. The result is
that large proportion of those who visit
Mecca never return to their own country
The trade however, is profitable TO
steamers-owncrs, much as it is dislilked
by captains and officers. As for Europe
