Sir Henry Nance recently, in his
inaugural address rs President Of the
Institution Of Electrical Engineers,
speaking Of acknowledgment q oceanic
telegraphy, said in the Persian gull
one occasionally witnessed natural
phenomena which 20 the untTaveled
might appear incredible. In the
midst Of the mountains near Mussen-
dom he had seen during thunder
storm such displays Of lightning as
hRffied description. He had at Ger
tain seasons Of the year observed the
water in the bay (which was large
enough 20 hold all the fleets of the
world-present exactly the appearance
Of blood. Not many miles from
Mussendom he had Witnessed mysteri-
Gus fire circles fitting over the sur
face of the sea at a speed Of 100 miles
an hour-a phenomena which no one
had yet been able TO explain. While
steaming along the coast Of Beluchistan
he had been called from his cabin at
night to observe the more common
phenomenon of milky sea, the water
for miles around being singularly
white and luminous. In the same
locality the sea was, for short periods,
as if putrid, the fish being destroyed
in myriads, so that to prevent pesti-
lence measures had to be taken to bury
those cast up on the beach. This
phenomenon was doubtless due to the
outbreak of a submarine volcano and
the Liberation of sulphuretted by
drogen. In these waters jellytish
were as large as footballs, and sea
snakes of brilliant hue were met with
in large numbers. On one occasion
a swarm of sea snakes forced their
way up one of the creeks in Karachi
harbor, apparently for the purpose of
having battle royal, for the ground
between high and low water mark
was quickly covered with their bodies

WORK VIII be commenced out Of Dyea on
an electric tramway, twenty miles IN

after the arrival at Dyea OF the machin-

tramway proper. and the Westinghouse
Company has the contract for furnish
ing the electric supplies for the enter
prise, and both establishments are rush
ing the work in order 10 avoid a mo-
ment's unnecessary delay.
Unfortunately. the plans for this line
are not 10 be examined, and bus little
OF the actual details Of the work are
yet known owing to the fact that those
having them in hand have preceded the
working force. and are now at Dyea

states he will know nothing OF the de-
tails of the work until he reaches Dyea.
as he had no opportunity Of examining
the plans prior to leaving San Fran

on account of his lack OF knowledge as
TO the chief details. and will only say
that he expects TO learn all that IS nee

ton Of the road will be at the terminus

The first work to be done will be the
placing in operation of certain temper

power needed in construction. This will
be replaced with the real plant as quick
~ as the latter can be manufactured

mated that the line will be ready to do
business not later than March 10, and
probably earlier.
AS the name Of the company implies.
the object of the road IS to move pas

mountains. Such information as can
now be received indicates that heavy
capitalists are behind the venture, and
that nothing but insurmountable diff
culties will he allowed to stand in the

POPULIsTS ARE DISGRUNTLED.
They Object to the story Th.t Mayor
Fawcett Has SnubbeI Them.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer
TACOMA, Dec -26.-Local Populists are
In anything but pleasant frame of mind
on account of the story which has gone
abroad concerning their recommendation
10 the mayor for the appointment of NJ NJ.
Summons as clerk of the municipal court.
BY reason Of erroneous reports, they claim,
they have been put in the light OF having
been sat down upon by his honor the
mayor. while on the contrary they were
met half way by Mayor Fawcett. and are
satisfied with the result or their recon-
mendation, according TO their version Of
the story.
The fact that the mayor did no. at once
concur in their recommendation and asked
time 70 consider the matter the now angry
Populists say. has led to the spread of the
report that the mayor declined TO listen 10
their words of wisdom. As a result OF TIL.
seemingly trivial affair, the administration
Populists. II they may be so called to dis
tinguish them from the disgruntled ele-
Snent allege that the story was purposely
circulated by the "soreheads" TO create
friction between the mayor and the city
committee ana TO have II appear that
Mayor Fawcett is not in sympathy with
the Peoples party
The truth concerning the recommendation
made by the city committee IS that the
mayor agreed to name Populist for the
Z,
asked time 10 think over the matter be
fore he announced his selection. Thus far
1t has not been determined definitely
whether the mayor has authority 20 name
clerk to serve with justice of the peace.
and II is rot impossible that the new ordi-
nance providing a salary for the position
may become a dead letter, simply because
the city has no right to In any manner
interfere with the working Of the Office of
a justice Of the peace.
All that the mayor seems 10 want is 10
provide some means for the city securing
the revenue derived from fines for offenses
in violation OF the city ordinances. and
incidentally TO add one more appointee 70
his corps OF subordnates. The new law
doing away with the municipal court as
formerly operated Will become effective
January l. and the question OF selecting a
justice Of the peace to serve in CITY cases.
also the matter OF naming clerk will be
disposed OF during the ensuing week.
