The Sensations Described by One whe Has

1.-THE sensations of a man lost in a
cave are indescriba bic" said traveller
recently. 81 was once in a cave under
Lookout mountain for four days and
three nights. and IL was an experience
that can never be forgotten. Five Of
US started out to explore the cave,
which at its entrance looks like little
more than a hole in the ground. We
thought that in its innermost recesses
we would probably find the capacious
rooms with glistening stalactites COM
mon to the caves throughout that sec
ton. We took lanterns and chalk
with which to mark the walls, in or
der to be certain that we could retraee
our steps without difficulty.
''The cave was disappointment to
us We climbed over huge rocks,
squeezed through narrow passages,
and found several springs from which
little streams flowed through the
cavern, but no handsome rooms
or overhanging stalactitcs. So far
as we could judge. we had adj
vanced about Ave miles when we con-
cluded to explore one more passage and
return. Suddenly our lights went out.
evidently on account Of some noxious
gas, and we were in total darkness.
We climbed back out of the place
where the disaster had occurred in or
der to relight our lanterns, when to
our horror we discovered that there

were several passageways, and not

ing the way back to the outside world
again. To leave the place we were in
was to leave the chalk marks which
constituted the only guide. In our
loneliness it seemed as If the walls
were closing in upon US and woald
crush us
'.The only hope was that our friends
would remem Der where we had started
and would organize a searching party
which might be guided by the chalk
marks. All day and all night we
waited without food or sleep, and the
long dark hours dragged their weary
time along until it seemed to us that
we would go crazy. We could not tell
whether it was day or night-tellinY
all the stories we knew and trying to
keep each other cheerful until every
topic of conversation was exhausted
and the silence was only broken by the
monotonous dripping of water in the
adjoining chamber of the cavern. Ex-
hausted by fear and hunger nv mind
was given up to the most fantastic
imaginings. weird shapes and forms
without substance appeared on every
hand, black AMI red specks fioated be-
fore my eyes, and at length came =
numbness in which j felt no longer.
until the sound of horn reverberated
among the rocks, and we knew that
we were saved; rescuing party was
following the chalk marks.

each other in d delirum of Joy, and
few minutes later we were found. De-
spite our weakness we made good time
getting out of the cave. and when we
reached daylight once more we fou.d
that we had occupied the cave for four

FIX 1T TO PLEASE DEMOCRATS,

WASHINGTON. June 12.-There is some
prospect OF important changes in the in
ternal revenue part of the tariff bill and
of further notifications of the income tax
feature. The finance committee has been
considering a suggestion looking to the
dropping of all the purely administrative
part of the bill, which would result in
leaving the present administrative law on
the statute books. The question has been
under further consideration today, the
long speeches made on the floor of the sem
ate rendering it unnecessary for the men,
bers of the committee to be present. but no
decision has yet been reached. The COM
mittee is also undecided what, if any,
changes will be made in the income lax,
but is considering preparations for its
modification which it is believed will
make the bill acceptable in this respect to
Democratic senator's who oppose the tax.
