New YoRK, June 26-An extra edition
OF the Etcning World issued this ovcn-
ing, contains special cable from Trl-
poll, Syria, giving the first full details
OF tho sinking Of tho flag ship Victoria.
They aro Us follows:
About o'clock last Thursday after.
noon the English fleet came in sight OF
FL Nina, the port and town Of TrIpoli.
1t was coming from the northeast and
making directly for tho harbor. Tho
i've big iron clads, Victoria, Camper
down, Edinburgh, Milo and Sans Pareil,
were drawn up in full front. The Vic
toria was in the centre, tho Camper
down waaon her left and the Edinburgh
on her right.
When they were within five miles OF
the shoro Vico Admiral George Tryon
signalled to turn and form in double
limo. This meant that tho Victoria
and Campordown wero to 90 ahead Il
little and describe turn-the Victoria
turning to tho lett and the ORmpor-
down tnrning to the right--then they
would advance side by side in the di.
reCtion from which they had come, the
others would swing into double column
order and advance two and two be-
hind tho leaders.
When tho order was given tho dis
tanco between tho ships was loss than
two cables length. Tho execution OF
tho order was easy enough for ships
farther away from the centre, but OK
tremCly difficult for the Victoria and
the Camperdown. In turning, their
bows would pass within II few fathoms
OF each other, even ii the movement
was executed with tho greatest pre-.
cision.
Whether because Admiral Markham,
OF tho CampcrdOwn, could not believe
this movement was to be tried when
tho ships wero so close together, or be.
cause he thought Admiral TryOn had
miscalculated the distance, ho did not
set about executing Admiral Tryon's
order, but signalIed that he did not un.
dcrstand it.
The Victoria and tho other vessels
hesitatod. Tho Victoria began to turn
at once as sho still held to the signal.
Tho Cumpordown no longer hesitNtOd,
but also began to turn. The brief de-
lay, however, had been fatal. The Vic
toria had nearly turned, and the Camp.
erdown swinging around boro down
upon her.
Both admirals were quick to act Ad-
miral Tryon swung the Victoria so rs to
receive at tho smallest angle tho blow
which both officers saw was inevitable,
and Admiral Markham did tho same
for tho Campordown, besides reversing
her Screws.

not guilty to the charge of making false

Canning Factories and Truck Farming.

MILAN, Feb 20.-The numerous can
ming factories being erected throughout
the whole of West Tennessee, will, to a
great extent, wean the farmer from pro-
ducing cotton. To illustrate, factories
of from 10000 to 10000 capacity are
being erected at Milan, Jackson, Nc
Kenzie, Sharon, Union City and other
places. Over 1000 acres will be set aside
for truck farming in Gibson County
alone, and the same will probably prove
true as regards the other localities.
The people have at last learned that
to realize from their products they must
market them nearer home. A leading
truckfarmer will undertake this season
to cultivate celery on large scale-that
which has heretofore been imported
from Michigan. He claims that from
experiments he finds that this vegetable
can be grown here and quality equally
as fine as the Northern product.
Many farmers from Iowa and Illinois
have moved to this section in the last few
months and purchased farms to engage
in truckfarming, an industry which will
eventually solve the cotton question and
convert the country from mortgage and
poverty to peace and plenty.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS.
The States ConvIcts.

NASHVILLE, Feb. II. The special
committee engaged in investigating the
penitentiary question, with view to
drafting bill for the erection of a new
penitentiary and its control, today took
the deposition of Capt. F. S. Harris, ex-
warden, who stated that the cost of feed
ing prisoners is on an average only
Il cents per day, and that 500 men could
be clothed, fed and guarded for S47, 900.
At one dollar day their labor would
amount to S155, ,Oo0.
The committee has about decided on
the outlines of the bill to be submitted.
1t is practically agreed that the present
lease is not to be renewed after its explr-
alton. Convicts will thereafter be worked
on the States account. A new prison
will be built either in Middle or East
Tennessee, the location depending on
the site of lands purchased, which must
be of peculiar adaptablihty. First, a
suitable coal field will be purchased,
and as near it as possible farm of not
less than 1000 acres. These lands, if
possible, must be on or near railroad.
One prison will be built, if it can be
arranged, between the farm and the coal
fields. The outer she'll of the prison
will be Of massive stone. The interior,
corridors and cells will be made of steel,
three tiers high, after the latest plans
of sanitation and convenience. All the
convicts will be worked either on the
farm or in the mines.
The present penitentiary will be sold
to the best possible advantage. This,
however, will create but small part of
the fund necessary to the erection of the
new prison. The bulk of the money will
probably be raised by the issuance of
bonds to the extent of not more than
5000, 600. The committee seem deter
mined to take the penitentiary question
out of politics, and at the same time
make the prison self-sustaining.
