ISLAND THAT is A BIG MAGNET -
One Of the most dangerous places
in all the seas, says the Chicago
Record, is near the coast oil Den
mark, where there is little island
that goes by the name OF Born
holm. The seas do not run unusu-
allv high about it, nor are the cur
rents strong, but when the mari
ner approaches it, the needle of
his compass begins to act in the
strangest and most unaccountable
manner. Instead Of pointing TO
the north, il switches around and
points to Bornholm, so that If 1t
happens to be dark and stormy the
pilot may guide his ship straight
on the rocks, thinking that he is
making he north. This strange
condition exists for the reason that
Bornholm consists almost entirely
Of magnetic or magnetic iron, and
il draws the compass needle like a
powerful horseshoe magnet.
This influence is felt even at
distance OF miles, and on the isl
and being sighted by mariners on
the Baltic Sea they at once discon-
tinue steering their course bY the
needle, and turn. instead to the
we'll known lighthouses to direct
their craft. Between Bornholm
and the mainland there is also a
bank OF rock under water which is
very dangerous to navigation, and
because Of its being constantly
submerged vessels have been fire.
quently wrecked at that point.
The peculiar fact IN this case is
Washington sentinel., 1898-07-02

that the magnetic influence OF this
ore bank is so powerful that a
magnetic needle suspended freely
IN a boat over the bank will point
down, and, If not disturbed, will
remain in a pefectly perpendicular
line.

RETURN OF THE CUTTER BEAR.
Expedition for Relief of Arctic
WhaIers Landed Near TunnuaL.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE secretary
of the treasury has received the following
telegram, dated Seattle, yesterday, from
Captain futile, commanding the Bear,
which left Seattle in November with an ex-
petition for the relief of ice-bound whalers
IN the Arctic: The Bear arrived at
Unalaska at noon Dec. 9, coaled and
watered the ship and sailed for the north at
lO:35 a. m. the 18th. Arrived off the north
east coast of Cape st. Lawrence island at
p. m. on the 18th. where ice was met AT
GAO a. m. Dec IA ice was making rapidly.
cape Noame was ninety-six miles distant.
Concluded the vessel would be frozen in
long before the cape could be reached,
therefore turned and steamed southwark
for Cape Vancouver, which was reached at
500 p. m. on the 18th, too late to make a
landing. The relief party-Lieutenant Jar
Wis and Berthoff DR.. Call and Mr.. Koltchoff
with their outfits and mails for st. Mi
chael and the north, were landed on the
18th about five miles from the village of
Tunnuak, Cape of Vancouver. Lieutenant
Jarvis made arrangement with the trader
of the village to guide and assist his party
to st. MicliaePs, which place the trader
said could be reached in ten days via An
dreafski. On account of bad weather the
Bear could not remain to see the party
started overland. Sailed from Cape Van
couver at $40 on the 18th. Called at the
Seal islands on the 10Th and 2lst inst. All
We're well. Arrived at Unalaska Dec %,
with all well. The branded seals are re-
turning to- st. Paul island"
Captain Shoemaker. chief of the revenue
cutter service, said that owing to the adj
vanced season of the year the Bears land
ing of the overland expedition was effected
time ant1clDated
him. and that he feels that owing to the in
domitable courage of the two officers who
head this expedition, Jarvis and Bertholf,
its success is practically assured They
probably reached st. Mfehael's he said, on
Dec &C. A week thereafter they probably
reached the Teller reindeer station, on the
north shore of Norton sound, and are now
well on the road to Point Hope by way of
KOtzebue sound. ON the Arctic shores of
Alaska. From that point they will take the
coast-line route to Point Barrow. making
such arrangements at stopping places
route as may be possible for the care of
whalemen who may have left their ships.

members. Very naturally the New Eng
land States, which have adopted the most
advanced laws for the protection of labor,
have asked that States which will not thus
legislate should be put upon the same basis.
Here in Indiana much special legislation in
tended TO promote the welfare of labor has
been enacted. We have factory Inspector
and convict labor cannot be leased, but
what will these prohibitions in Indiana
avail if in Kentucky and other States there
shall be no factory inspection and prisons
become the workshops of contractors?
Speaking of the proposed amendment to
give Congress the power to control the
hours of labor as it controls interstate COM
merce, the Springfield (Mass.) Republican,
a very conservative paper. says:
Sweeping and revolutionary as is the
change proposed, who will venture to say
that the conditions of industry are not
pushing it irresistbly forward? The very
admission of the necessity or desirability of
state interference goes far to justify and
even demand the change.
Heretofore the Lowering proposition has
attracted no attention throughout the coun-
try, but the situation in the cotton industry
in New England has led such papers as the
Minneapolis Tribune to indorse the propo-
sition. 1t is said to have the support of the
labor leaders about Washington. 1t would
be surprising if it did not.

ton of an Indiana Grand Army post in
passing resolutions demanding that every
man who served in the late war be PEN
stoned at the rate of one dollar a day and
declaring for the formation of a national
party upon the issue. The post in question
has but twenty-six members in good stand
ing. The issuing Of such resolution is
violation of the constitution of the Grand
Army and the department officers have al
ready notified the post to recall as many OF
the resolutions as it can and to take no
further action in that direction. 1t is not
likely that the men who conceived the
scheme so much as gave a momentary
thought to the demand such a measure
would make upon the treasury. There arc
undoubtedly over a million men living who
were in the service during some part of the
war. To pay each of them dollar a day
would require 1865, 100000 a year at least-a
sum in excess of the entire revenues of the
government at the present time. This
scheme is not so wild as the proposition to
pay each pensioner twenty years pension at
once and call it square. Neither proposition
will receive any support when the veterans
take time to examine them. There is no rea-
son why either should have been sent to pa
pers in other States and declared to have
caused a sensation" since very few would
have noticed them but for this heralding
altogether beyond their deserts.

One fails to see how general strike can
help the employees in the cotton industry in
New England. The difficulty is not that
the owners are not willing to pay the old
scale of wages, but that they cannot in the
face of the competition in the South. In
other words, the difference between the
cost of the raw material, taxes, etc. and
the market price of the output is not suf-
ficient to pay the old scale of wages If this
representation of the mill owners is not cor
rect, no competent authority has vet
shown its error. Some men of considerable
intelligence in these matters seem to be I'M
able to grasp the fact that a corporation
cannot long pay more money for wages
than it can get for its goods Impartial
and intelligent labor leaders should be able
to see that, on a ten-hour basis with child
labor prohibited and high local taxation,
the New England cotton manufacturer can
not pay 80 per cent more wages than does
his Southern competitor. who can run his
factory twelve or thirteen hours, employing
the youngest children that can work and
paying very light local taxes
1t is said that the labor leaders have been
led TO order the cotton strike in New Eng
land because of the success of the coal
miners strike. Is it possible that men of
intelligence cannot see that there is no par
allel between the two? Into the coal ar
rangement all of the producers have been
brought The eight-hour day extends to
every considerable coal-producing locality
Not so with cotton; the South, with sew
eral thousand cotton mills. cannot be
brought into any plan fixing the hours of a
days work and the wage upon such basis
The Southern manufacturer cannot be
brought into an agreement to curtail hours
So long as he cannot the New England
strike will settle nothing. because mill own
ers will not run their mills without profit
or at a loss.
Some real remedy must be found for the
evil caused by cheap labor in the South, ac-
companed by absence of laws protecting
labor in those States. There seems to be
but one remedy, and that is in the PROPOSE
ton TO authorize Congress TO regulate the
hours OF labor Such a proposition is be-
fore the House. and has been placed before
two previous houses by Massachusetts

What really do the decent people of In

ordinance? Is it to be interpreted except
on the basis of the old adage?-News.
To the best of the Journals knowledge
and belief, the decent and intelligent people
of Indianapolis took the same view of it
that the decent and intelligent newspapers
did: That is, they had sufficient confidence
in Mayor Taggarts discretion and common
sense to cause them to believe that he
would not make himself a laughing stock
by signing an ordinance which in spirit and
intent was directly opposed to a specific
law of the State. Notwithstanding the
mayors announced partiality for those
best citizens" the saloon keepers, who
would be benefited by prize fighting he was
credited with enough gumption to prevent
such defiance of the statutes, and conse-
