Where Atlantic and Pacific Meet.

Robert Dunn, Special Correspondent for
 Harper's Weekly.
 We turned due west around Cape Cross- tide, the northwest point of Carlos III Island, and at 9:3o stood in the eye of the straits. at the heart of the great water way. Between the cape and the black buoy over Anson Rock, exactly on the starboard beam-the only one west of Froward, because the perfect depths need no more-was scarce more than a mile. Between here and Playa Parda harbor, 2S miles west, the Atlantic and the Pa cifc tides meet or rather overlap, for they move according to separate tables. You read that the stretch off Crosstide, therefore, is marked by Ia seething mass of water and foam," and that "the strong eddies have marked effect upon the steering of a ship" Maybe-at times and to tramps. But battleships drawing 27 feet can give cards to the steadine5s of cathedrals. We saw not the white wisp of a maelstrom; the column wavered not once again; it was like twisting through mill-pond into the long three mile- wide channel of the famous Crooked Reach

Craters of Diamonds.

From the Chicago News.
 It is now generally believed that the diamonds are formed in the earth by ex treme heat and pressure. Barney Barna to, the South African diamond magnate, was one of the first men to fathom the secret of the source of the Kimberley diamonds and to make a fortune from his knowledge The pioneers worked in the yellow earth which lay on the surface and found diamonds there in abundance How they came there the men could not imagine. When they had got through this layer of yellow earth and touched the blue rock underlying it their hearts sank; they thought they had come to the end of their riches. Barnato, however, did not believe that the gems had been deposited from above; he believed that what they were working in were. really the craters of extinct volcanoes; that the diamonds had been forced up from below and that whence these had come more and greater were to follow. So he bought every claim he could, and time vindicated his judgment.
 He did not make his claim public prop erty. The ordinary man, when he found his layer of yellow ground run low, made haste to sell out to the uninitiated. One man who had reached this stage obliged a friend by allowing him to dump upon his claim the yellow earth which had been worked and sorted. Then he found a new conner who was looking for a claim rich in yellow deposit. The novice paid 5000 for the site and thought that he had virgin yellow upon which to work. As fact, he had to go down and into the blue before he handled diamond.
 But the bitter was bitten. The claim which was sold for 5000 soon began to pay out of the blue rock and then could not have been rebought for $200,000. Bar nato would have given $40,000 for 1t and taken the risk, but he did not hear any thing of the transaction until the ten derfoot had bought and the man who thought himself clever had departed.

Bessemer Beavers Win.

One of the best games of ball that has been played in this city in some time occurred this afternoon when the team of the Bessemer Beavers met that of Pratt City.
 The final score was to ', in favor of Bessemer, but it cannot be stated that they deserved any special credit for the victory from the fact that they played in luck more than anything else,
 The features of the game were the good work of Fuller and Brown for the Pratt City team, and the pitching of Sykes for the locals. The game, taken as whole, was good one and the largest crowd of the season turned out 10 see the home boys play the game.
 It Is believed that the Beavers will have one of the best amateur teams in the district within a short while if they keep up the gait they are going.

The further remarks of the Free
Press do not count, for the very good
reason that II has started out on an
entirely erroneous premise.
1t is not true that the planters OF
Hawaii did not need any protection
for their sugar until the Islands be-
came territory of the United States.
The sugar industry of the Hawaii
an Islands Is the creature of protec-
ton from its very inception. The
sugar industry had the benefit of the
American protective tariff on sugar
from 1876, which year represents the
beginning of the profitable produce
ton of sugar in Hawaii. The reci-
proCity treaty between the United
States and the then Kingdom of Ha-
wall went into effect in the year
1876. Since that time the raw sugar
of Hawaii has entered the American
market free of duty, and has there
fore derived all the benefits enjoyed
by the mainland sugar-producer.
The life of the industry is based
on protection to the same extent al
the cane-sugar industry of Louisiana
and the beet-sugar industry.
The only change that annexation
to America brought about was that
the permanence of Hawaii's market
was established. II was not subject
to reciprocity treaty that might be
cancelled by either country on Il
years notice. Also, Hawaii had to

The Milwaukee Free Press is the

Is fair to give the Free Press the BEN
