The stories of the magnetic noun
tains which exert an attraction on all
vessels coming near them are not with
out foundation in fact. The island
Born dim, in the Baltic, may be re-
garded as huge magnet. Although
the power of attraction is not so great
as to draw nails and bolts out of ap-
preaching ships the magnetism works q
good deal of damage, in that it defects
the needle of the compass so that it can
not be depended upon. The effect is
perceptible at the distance of nine and
one half miles. a rocky reef near
BOrnh DIM is also made of the same
magne tic substance.

The Last o. X. G, Excursion.

The 0. r. @. tourists who reached
this city last Wednesday afternoon are
on special excursion by themselves un-
der the auspices of the Golden Gate ex-
cursion management of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. They reached this
city via the Lightning, Air Line Trans
fer system from Alfalfa about 4:30 p.
NJ, aud spread over the city, eighty
two strong, seeking resting places and
having rather tedious time in finding
them. Every hosiery seemed chock
full, and it seemed for time as though
the settees in the plaza would have to
be resorted to. However, places were
finally found for all, through the efforts
of the O. r. G. reception committee,
and the visitors unable to get away last
night made up their minds to enjoy
the occasion, which they did. They
expect their special train will be able
to get through sometime today, and
then they will continue their trip west.
They go as far north as Tacoma, and
thence east over the northern lines to
Salt Lake City and Rio Grande West
ern road. The taking in of the Los
Angeles conductors meeting was mere
ly incidental.

The affairs of the Simplon TUNE
seem to advance slowly, but it is be-
lieved that construction can be begun
soon. The Swiss confederacy has
granted subvention of t, 500, 600 francs.
Besides this the Jura Simplon compa-
ny undertake to get $500, 900 francs
from various cantons and other bodies.
The Italian government, which will
provide for building the Italian end of
the line, gives to the Simplon compa-
ny an annuity of Sc, 600 franks during
the concession, and, moreover, the pro-
vinces and cities interested are expect
ed to aid in the enterprise. The pres
ent difficulty there, however, is that
each locality wants to draw special adj
vantage from the line and egOtiations
are necessary to decide upon its exact
route.

The Washington Star says that it is
not out of the possibilities that as a
settlement of the fight over the COVER
norship of New Mexico, the president
might give the place to Speaker Lew
ellyn, if he would accept. This method
has been pursued by the president in
numerous appointments so far. He re-
fuses to decide between two men who
have brought on hot fight over a
place. He simply picks out a man not
identified with the row. This was
done yesterday in the Calcutta consul
ship, and shows the presidents inten-
tions. Two Tennessee men had ap-
piled for the position. and were max
ing things warm for each other. CO..
onel r. f. Patterson, the man ap-
pointed for the Calcutta consulship or
something as good. He kept out of
the squabble of the other two candi-
dates, and plucked the plum.

PRIESTS TO BE BANISHED.
President of Ecuador Getting at the
Root Oh Rebellion.


A dispatch from Guayaquil, Euca-
dor says that President Alfaro, owing
to the activity of priests in the revolu-
tion there, has issued an order to eXpel
from the country every member of all
orders of priests. The action of the
president in ordering the arrest of
Bishop Andrade, who is now imprison-
ed on a charge of treason, was prelimi-
nary to the order of expulsion today.
In the meantime several more priests
have been arrested for active partici-
patton in the revolution, and those who
do not comply with the presidents or
der to leave the country Immediately
will also be thrown into prison.
President Alfaro has stated he is de-
termiued to rid Ecuador of the priest
ly thralidOm which has existed there
for the last thirty years. In order to
accomplish this he is willing to take
the most radical steps to deprive the
rebellious ones of their leaders in the
revolt against the government. From
almost the very first the uprisings in
Ecuador have been among religious
fanatics, who, led by priests. and re-
ceiving their support from that quar-
ter, have harassed the governm ent
persistently. The president hopes his
order of expulsion will put an end to
this by driving the priests out of the
country. Inc plOG 10 dSSdSSlnaG6 CIOV-
ernor Jose Luis Alfaro, president and
governor of the province of Los Rios,
which was discovered yesterday, it has
been found, was one in which many
persons, among them several priests,
were Interested. Further evidence has
come to light, and as a result several
more arrests have been made. Among
the prisoners arrested today is Santiago
Uvilla. The government is now mo-
mentarily expecting a rebel outbreak
in the province of Los Rios.
