THE ROLL CALL.

AS the names of the member were
called, the response of each member
was awaited with strained attention,
as some changes from the vote on the
preceding day were looked for Sew
eral members took advantage of the
privilege to explain their vote by
eulogizing the candidates for whom
they voted, and speech making was
becoming general when Mr.. Kenner ut
tered q vigorous protest against such
an abuse of 2 personal privilege. The
Thatcher speeches were warmly ap-
plauded by the lobby.

ANOTHER EXPLANATION.

Mr. Duffin of Washington county,
who voted for Henderson on the pre-
ceding day, also desired to make an
explanation. This was construed to
mean that he intended to change his
vote to another candidate. and the as
semblage was all attention. But the
Henderson opponents were rudely dis
appointed when, at the close of an eX-
tended speech, he announced that he
would vote for Henry P. Henderson.
The election, he said, involved ques-
tions farther reaching than many of
the members realized. 1t had been the
understanding, when the members
were elected. that they should exercise
their careful judgment, after careful
consideration Of the merits of the can
didates. and there had been some
things done that he could not indorse
He recognized the integrity, the hon.
estv and the ability of all of the can

tnanded that the conditions that had
caused so many heartburnings in the
past should be done away with. He
believed that the candidate who would
best accomplish this end was Henry

TEEN, he said. yet there was involved
a principle of greater Importance than
the election of either. He declared that.
for reasons best known to himself,
the questions involved caused him to
cast his vote for Moses Thatcher. This
announcement was greeted with ap-
plause. as ii was a change of one vote
from Rawlins to Thatcher.

for an enforcement of the rule against
demonstrations of approval or disap-
proval from the lobby, and the spec
tators were admonished.

could be sent abroad through the mails.
So he was taken over to the postoffice

tion. After a long time he returned and
reported as follows:

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
CRUsoE's ISLAND sUBMERGEI

CRUSOE'S ISLAND SUBMERGED.
Every lover Of romance must regret
the disappearance beneath the Pacific
waves OF the Island Of Juan Fernan-
dez.
1t was on this island that Daniel
Defoe laid the scenes of his famous
tale of adventure, entitled Robinson
Crusoe," and there is hardly a child in
America who is not familiar with its
stirring traditions.
Several weeks ago it was announced
by 4 Spanish skipper that the island
had been submerged, but in the alb
sence Of corroborative testimony the
story was not credited. Within the last
few days. however, the announcement
has been confirmed by other mariners,
and there is no longer room for scepti-
cism.
In this connection 1t may be of some
interest to review the remarkable his

who first landed upon its shores in
1863 and who subsequently settled
upon it with his family. Eventually,
however the Spaniard quit the island,
becoming weary of its solitude and iso-
lation.
Still another tenant of the island in
later years was Mosquito Indian,
who was left upon its shores by an
English sea captain in 1851. but who
was rescued by passing vessel some
three or four years afterwards. The
adventures Of this solitary Indian dur.
