cusation Of attempted bribery in con-

SAW AN ISLAND BORN.
Startling Yarn Spun by Sailors Of a
British Steamer.
A SEQUENCE OF MARVELS.
Island Proves ON Inspection to he
Purely of Volcanic Origin - Ite-
seinbles Giants Causeway
to o Great Extent.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 8. - The British
steamer Breconshire, which has arrived
from Java with a cargo of sugar, brings
q remarkable tale Of phenomenon wit
messed while the vessel was but two
weeks out of port and In the southern
part of the Indian ocean.
According to the story, which Is told
| in a manner so graphic and 80 free from
exaggeration as to leave little doubt re-
| garding its genuineness, the captain
| and crew saw thrown up by a mighty
upheaval of the subterranean strata OF
| the oceans bed curious island OF ba-
saltic formation and which came into
existence almost in the twinkling OF an
| eye. These curious volcanic eruptions
occurring far below the surface of the
sea are extremely rare, and the account
given by eyewitnesses at this date.
when such manifestations are supposed
to have ceased, cannot fail to be Of gen.
eral interest.
On Sept. Is there was noticed by the
man on the lookout, just after eight
bells, or 4 o'clock q cloud looming up
directly ahead and presenting most
menacing front in the pathway of the
advancing craft. AS far as the eye
could see to the westward the entire
horizon was encompassed by this wall
Of steam into which the captain did not
care to venture until the sun would rise
in the morning and he could count on
at least IA hours Of daylight. The
steamer accordingly hove to during the
few remaining hours Of the waning aft
ernoon.
Booming Sound Heard.
Shortly after 10 o'clock, when a f1tful
moon had arisen and shed an erratic
luster over the deep, tremendous
booming sound was heard. At the same
moment. borne upon the bosom of an
immense wave, the Breconshire mount
ed vertically to a point at least 20 feet
above her former position on the ocean
bed and to the accompaniment of an
immense upheaval Of water an island
appeared to leeward. where all previ-
ously had been but the sea and sky.
The suddenness Of the event almost
deprived the crew Of their senses. but
they had little time to comment on he
phenomenon, being obliged to look to
the safety of the vessel. 1t was ma ny
anxious moments before that safety
was assured, but apparently as thouc h
nature had exhausted herself the SEA in
few moments returned egain to its
wonted tranquility the looming clouds
of vapor sapp a ed like mage,
When the day 6awned, a clear vi W
was afforded of the island, and it's vol
canic origin was clearly established. IT
consisted OF vertical columns Of he rd
mineral arranged with wonderful geo.
metrical exactitude, resembling v-ry
strongly the pictures of the fa-rors
Giants Causeway. 1t was found to he
only a small island, possibly not r. ore
than one-quarter Of mile in circ"m-
ference, and at it's highest point not at
a greater altitude than 100 feet. In all
probability the rev island hos been in
formation for many years below the
surface, and only nv an upheavel o. ex-
traordinary intensity did It emerge
above the surface.

A Suicide by Starvation.

Philadelphia, Nov. San investiga-
ton by Charles Clipperton, the British
consul at this port, into the death of
Gabroo Dodar, Buddhist sailor on
board the British steamship Arara, who
died at Lewes on Oct 20, shortly after
the vessel left the Breakwater devel-
ops the fact that he died of starvation.
His mode Of death, the investigation
shows, was Of his own choosing, and it
is believed that he acted under sugges-
tons from his countrymen, who con-
WINGED him that the time had come to
offer himself up as sacrifice to the
Buddhist faith,

Washington. Nov S.-The navy de-

storm, but that the Vulcan's officers re-
port that they ordered the Leonidas to
remain in the rear searching for the

got into trouble in the effort to succor
the crew Of the Teresa. Therefore with
out doubt the Leonidas will be heard

During the past few years the
increased frequency with which
factories close down, throwing men
out Of work and making it difficult
for them to obtain the necessities

THE INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE.

The work of the Tennessee In
dustrial League, Of which Herman
JUST is chairman of the executive
committee, is one in which every
progressive citizen can join heartily.
Men Of all parties are agreed upon
It's objects, which concern the real
prosperity and cententment of all
Tennesseans, and.which are, in fact,
the prime objects for which the tax
payers of the State are striving.
An enormous cost is imposed on
the law-abiding citizens of Tennes-
see because there is no law to in
vestigate and punish incendiarism.
With such law, insurance premi-
ums would be reduced and in this
way hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars would be saved the people of
this State annually. The league is
doing effective work over the State
in awakening the people to the
needs of such legislation.
The simpllfcation of the tax laws
Of Tennessee is an other object of
the league.
The movement for some better
plan of building roads is receiving
the attention Of the league to meet
the present demand for new and
better road laws.
The school laws are the subject
of general discussion by progress
sive citizens Of the State, and the
league is pledged for such changes
as are needed to give better school
privileges to the children of the
State.
Commissioners appointed by the
executive committee of the league
are now studying the present laws
and laws OF other States and are
already formulating plans and re-
ports on these and various other
subjects in which the Taxpayers OF
Tennessee are interested with the
view Of presenting the facts to the
next general assembly. This work
isnot being done with the idea that
our Legislators can not study the
matter for themselves-for any OF
them could do SO if the authorities
were available-but the short time
after the election before the meet
ing Of the general assembly is con-
sidered, does the legislator, as a
rule, make the Investigations. But
when the facts are all drawn out by
the league (aided by suggestions
Of the people Of Tennessee who
have given the subjects special at
tention and study and presented
there will be something tangible
for the Legislators to work upon.
Much can be done by organiza-
ton. "Join the Tennessee Indus
trial league" says Mr.. JUST, "get
your neighbor to join, and then lei
as pull together for the honor anC
glory Of Tennessee, and for the hap
pinessandprosperity ofherpeople.
