BEAUTIFUL JAVA.
Its Scentry Said to BE an Example o
Tropical Perfection.

Its Scenury Said to BE an Example Of
Tropical Perfection.
The scenery Of Java is, think, trop-
ical perfection. No sameness in the
landscape wearies the eye. All is valley
and mountain, cultivated with beauti-
full crops-irrigated ricetields, emerald
green stretches Of tall, waving maize,
small thickets of bamboos, gracefully
bending to the breeze-or covered with
a tropical verdure only equaled in beau
ty by the forests of South America. Be-
ing only midday when we arrived at
Tassikmalaya, we ordered tif1in and two
carts to be ready IN hour later to take
US on 25 mile stage to Bandjar. So at
3 O'Clock we were once more en- route in
the usual conveyances Of small awning
covered carts-each drawn by three
ponies-one for ourselves and the other
for the baggage. For the first few hours
we passed frequently through small viii
lagos, where the ponies were watered,
and our drivers chatted with the fruit
sellers, and smoked small tapering Gig
arettes, which they bought for quarter
penny the packet
Inc IaSt part OF the Journey was
through tall jungle, and as the sun had
set some two hours before our arrival
at our destination, it was 10 easy mat
ter for the drivers to keep the road in
the inlSy darkness. Finally long, steep
hill took us down from the comparative
GOODNESS of a high altitude into the
fetid swamps where lies the town of
Bandjar. AT first sight you would think
these swamps inhabited, III such myriads
do the firefiies fit to and fro, or hang
motionless, lamplike, in the misty air,
giving one the idea Of the lights Of
some distant village. All the natives
here, as elsewhere in the island, hold
the white man in great awe, and as
you pass along all doff their huge brim
med hats, and some kneel BY the way
side. In such towns III the interior as
Bandjar there are no hotels, but the
Dutch government provides free stop
ping houses for travelers-dirty, tumble
down places for the most part-where a
caretaker will look after them for a
consideration. - Westminster Re-

KENTUCKY EXTRA SESSION TALK.
Belief That Governor Bradley VIII
Call One This Winter.

Frankfort, KY, Nov Environment pol
iticians are visiting Governor Bradley
daily with reference to calling an extra
session Of the legislature. State affairs
need legislation, but there is a division of
opinion as to the effect OF an extra ses-
sion on the senatorship. If no session is
held, Governor Bradley will appoint a
successor to Senator Blackburn March 4,
to serve until the next legislature is elect
ed. AS the governor is prominently men
toned for the senauorsnIp himself, the
position is an embarrassing one to him.
There are half a dozen other republican
candidates, and Senator Blackburn VIII
continue the fight to the last, while the
friends Of Secretary Carlisle are watching
the situation. 1t Is the general opinion
that there will be an extra session, and
here this winter
Plans of Senator Blackburn.
Cincinnati, Nov 2.-The Commercial
says:
Senator Blackburn Is here consulting
his friends and he has given up the
senatorial contest and determined to
make the contest for governor of Ken
lucky with a possibility Of securing a
legislature that would be more favorable
to him. Senator Blackburn is confident
he can secure the nomination for COVER
nor and that he can be elected. 1t Is
stated that Senator Blackburns present
action in declining to contest for the
senatorship is due to the gold democrats
refusing longer to stand by him as the
caucus nominee.

pied an advantageous position.

HEAVY
RAINFALL
In Some Sections There VIII BE Re-
lief from Suffering.

London, Nov. PA dispatch from AL
lahabad, India, to the Times says:
The storm has caused a rainfall right
through eastern Hajpant, which mas
reached the western parts of the north
vest provinces. On Friday a good rain
hau fallen at Meeut and a fair rain at
Agria.
This will be Of the highest value, as
Agria was suffering severely from a
drought. There are signs that the rain
will extend farther. The following is IN
accurate view of the position of the
northeast provinces of Oudh:
The first area, where there Is the great
est failure Of crops, has $4,000 square
miles, with a population Of 100000. Here
the famine may be acute. The second
al ca, where there is a severe failure,
covers 10000 miles, and the population IS
100000 The third area where there
Is considerable failure, has $4,000 square
miles, and has population of 1900 QUO.
The divisions which are worst off are
Talsabad, Lucknow and Allahabad, with
a portion of Agria, not protected by irri-
cation. The balance of the provinces are
these protected by canals, which do not
depend so much on the rice crop. Here
there has been little failure, though the
DEAFNESS will press heavily upon the
poorest classes Of the khalif.
Favorable rains at the end Of the year
Will relieve from to per cent of the
population. The government Is prepac-
ing for the worst. Should the drought
continue until June the prices would rule
enormously high, but the lieutenant gov.
ernor does not apprehend a complete fail
urc of supplies next summer, as local
ste cks would be supplemented by i'm
ports.

but one capsized with five men in it, four
of whom were drowned. Another boat
with four Of the crew capsized nine times,
losing two men. Three men by heroic
efforts reached shore. Daylight found the

Seven Men Rescued.
The steamer Point Arena reached the
scene at IL o'clock this morning and sent
out boat and, by great bravery and
skilled seamanship, rescued seven men.
In making a second trip the boat was al
most swamped and was compelled to
abandon all efforts, on account of the
great breakers washing over the wreck.
A sailor was washed overheard and
reached shore almost dead. He was re-
Vived by a doctor on the beach At 4
o'clock this afternoon a sailor jumped
overheard and attempted to swim ashore
with a line. The shoulders straps of his
life preserver broke and the man vent

Lighthouse Keeper Brown, an Indian
named Lazarus, William Caumprey and
Al Cunningham manned a boat and made
two heroic efforts to connect the wreck
with the shore with a line, but were I'M
successful The steamers Point Arena
and Alcazar are off the wreck, but can
render no assistance until the sea Gains.
