The finding of the body of the dead miner will enable the company to resume operations at oaoe. Sir Julian Pauncefote. British am bassador, has been furnished an outline of the orders prepared by Secretary Herbert for the government of United States naval commanders of the seal patrol. It is understood that his purpose is to cause similar instructions to be issued to 'commanders of the Britishfleet, so that the two fleets may work in harmony in policing Bering Sea. Columbus (O. ) special: Preparations for the most extensive strike in the history of coal mining are completed so far as official action can assist m the formal preparations. John McBride, President of the United Mine Workers of America, is in communication with local officials in every quarter and believes from the reports received that nearly 225,000 will quit work.

THE NATION'S S0L0NS.

SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Oar National Law-Makers and What They Are Doing for the Good of the Country Various Measures Proposed, Discussed, and Acted Upon Doings of Congress. stoth side of the chamber showed a good attendance when the Senate met Thursday. During tho transaction of the routine morning business Senator Kyle, of Eonth Dakota, introduced a joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment relative to marriage and divorce, which was referred to tho Committee on Judiciary The urgent deficiency bill was taken up and the last paragraph, to provido for uniformity in the letting of government contracts for supplies at Washington, gave rise to considerable discussion, as did also the paragraph for the printing of an abstract of tho eleventh census. Mr. Manderson moved to strike ont the clause, as he argued thst tho abstract would bo but a duplication of the digest already ordered. The motion was agreed to and the bill as amended was about to be put oh Its final passage when the hour of l o'clock arrivod and toe question went over, wbllo tho tariff bill was laid before the Senate. When tho Bouse adjourned late in the afternoon It was still in a most distressing tangle. The rule which the committee on rules brought in. Imposing a fine of $10 for every refusal of a member to vote, was the cause of the trouble. No business had been transacted. Very few Senators assembled Friday to listen to the tariff speeches, tho struggle over the adoption of the new rule to secure a voting quorum was resumed when the House met. As soon as the journal bad been read Mr. Bout'elle jumped to his feet and objected, and when Mr. Dockery moved Its approval the Republicans sat silent In their seats. Upon the announcement of the vote, 105 to 0, Mr. Bontetle made the point of no quorum and the roll was called. The Republicans refrained from voting snd the result, 155 to 1, showed that the Democrats were twenty-three short of a quorum. Mr. Dockery then moved a call of the House. Instructing his side to vote down the motion In the hope oi developing a ireiuocratlc quorum. But the Democrats failed to get the quorum. The motion for a call was defeated by 140 to 14. The Democrats warn still twenty-five short The prospect of a quorum was hopeless, and, as It had been decided to call a Democratic caucus io consider the rules, Mr. Dockery moved an adjournment, and a't one o'clock the House adjourned. . . (twins to the death of Senator Van CO neither Senate nor Bouse transacted public baslnesi Monday. Resolutions of respect to the memory of the distinguished North Carolina statesman were unani mously adopted. Appropriate resolutions were also adopted in honor of the memory of General Henry W. Blocurn. One of the new measures submitted to the House was a quorum-counting rule. It Is understood that the rule nrovldos for ascertaining a quorum by counting members prosent and not voting and also tor fining members who absent themselves rrom tne nouse. The House Tuesday by na overwhelm ing vote decided to adopt a quorum-counting rule. Neither undue excitement nor tnmaltnntu scenes marked the crushing of the old legislative barrier The parlia mentary wheels then began moving again. A regular gorge of committee reports. blocked by the recent filibustering, were presented under tne call oi tne committees. The Honse then, on motion of Mr. McCreary, went into committee of the whole to consider the consular and diplomatic appropriation bllL After speeches by Mr. McCreary In support of and Mr. Hltt rBenabllcan) adverse to the bill, the Honse at !0 adjourned. There was verv slim attendance or visitors in the galleries when the Senate met The bill to create the southern judicial district of Texas and to fix the time an place tot holding courts In the southern eastern, and western districts was passed. The Senate went into executive seasloe at half-past one o'clock. Twentyfive minutes afterward too doors Were reopened, and Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, asked that the resolution to consider ts Chinese treaty in open session be laid aside, when Senattr Morgan will return to the Senate. This was agreed to. Senator Smith, of New Jersey, made an earnest speech, which was devoted entirely to an attack on the income tax: At the conclusion of Mr. Smith's speech the Senate aujoornea The Hi) use devoted the entire day Wednesday to debate on the consular and diplomatic appropriations bill. It touched a wide variety of subjects and at times brimful oi interesting personalities The Hawaiian policy of the pres ent administration came in for u good share of attention. -The ap pointment 01 Mr. van Aien as minister to Italy provoked a very extended discussion. The bill authorizing the erection of a stone bridge across the St. Louis River, between Minnesota and Wisconsin, passed the Senate. The venerable Senator Morrill, offvermont, spoke on tne tariff, as did also Senators Turple, Cameron, and Quay. Mr. Harris, at 5:10 p. m, moved an executive session and It was agreed to, and at 6:30 the Senate adjourned. Population of the Ocean. A striking: viow of the vastness and variety of the population of the sea ha recently been furnished by the results of explorations made by a committee of the zoological Department oi tne .British Association in that part of the Irish sea surrounded by the Isle of Man. Out of 1,000 species of marine ani mals collected, 224 had never before been found in that region, 38 were pre viously unknown as inhabitants of British waters, and 17 were entirely unknown to science; indeed they were animals whose existence had never been suspected. If sucn discoveries reward a few weeks of searching in so min te a speck of the sea, how many voluires would be required to contain a list of the still undiscovered inhabitants of the great ocean? A Song Wins a Battle. Instances are recorded where the tide of battle was turned by a song. One case occurred November ((, 17!i:', when the Drench under Dumouriez en countered the Austrians at Jemmapes, in Heigium. The day was going dead against the French when Dumouriez ran out to the front and raised the 'Marseillaise. Forty thousand voices instantly took up the chorus, and inspired by the magic of the battle song, the French rallied and fell so furiously upon the Austrians that the tide of battle was completely turned and victory given for defeat QUAINT BITS. Lotteries in England were abolished in 1826. The first harp was a tortoise shell with a string tied acr oss it. The French census shows a total of 390,000 foreign work people. An JEge&n piece of the year 700 B. C. is the oldest coin in tho world. The wall flower in floral language signifies fidelity in misfortune. Something like 32,000 varieties of goods are manufactured from wool. Chimneys were first put on houses of more than one story in Italy in 1347. A spider's eyes are not in his head, but in the upper part of the thorax. The earliest reaping hook was the lower jaw of an antelope lashed to a stick. The fashion of serving fish before meats began, it is believed, as far back as 1562. Japan, according to a new census lust completed, shows a population of 41,089,940. France is the only great country which does not show an increase in population. It takes about three seconds for a eable message to flash under the Atlantic ocean. There are 23,000 species of fishes, one-tenth of which inhabit fresh water. Australia has more churches in proportion to population than any other country.

CHAPTER I. IN MTD PACIFIC. "Man overboard!'' It rang in Felix Thurstan's earB like the sound of a bell. He gazed about him in dismay, wondering what had happened. The first intimation he redSiVed Of tho aoeidnnt Waa that sudden sharp cry from this bo'sun's mate. Almost before he had fully taken it in, in all its meaning, ano'.her voice, farther aft, took up the cry onoo more in an altered form: "A lady! & lady! Soliiebodv overboard! Great neavens) is it her! It's Miss Kills! Miss Ellis!" Next Instant Felix found himself, he kne not how, struggling in a wild grappie with the darki Mack water. A Woman was clinging to hirri clinging for dearlift. But he couldn't have told you himself that minute how it all took place He was too stunned and dazed. He looked around him on tho seething sea lfc a sudden awakening, as it were, to life and consciousness. All about, the great water streched dark and tumultuous. White breakers surged over him. Far ahead tho steamer's lights gleamed red and green in long lines upon the ocean. At first they ran fast; then they slackened somewhat. She was surely slowing now; they must be reversing engines and trying to stop her. They would put out a boat. But what hope, what chance of rescue bv niarht, in such n wild waste of waves as that? And Muriel Ellis was clinging to him for dear life all tho while. With the despairing clutch of a half-drowed woman! The people on the Australasian, for their part, kneW better what had occurred. There was bustle and confusion enough oh deck and on the captain's bridge, to be sure: "Man overboard!" three sharp ring's at the en gine bell '"Stop her short! reverse engines! lower the gig! look sharp, there, all of you!" Passengers hurried up breathless at the firstalarmtoknow what was the matter. Sailors loosened and lowered the boat from the davits with extraordinary quickness. Officers stoood by, giving orders in monosyllables with practised calm. All Was hurry and turmoil, yet with a marvellous sense of order and prompt Obedience as well. But, at any rate, the people on deck hadn't the swift swirl of the boisterous water, the hampering wet clothes, the pervading consciousness of personal danger, to make their brains reel, like Felix Thurstan's. They could ask one another with comparative composure what had happened on board; they could listen without terror to the Story of the accident It was the thirteenth day but from Sydney, and the Australasian was rapidly nearing tho equator. Toward evening the wind had freshened, and the sea was running high against her weather side. But it was a fide starlit night, though the moon had not yet risen: and asthe brief tropical twilight faded away by quick degrees in the West, the fringe of cocoanut palms on the reef that bounded tho little island of Boupari showed out for a minute or two in dark relief, some miles to leeward, against the pale pink horizon. In spite of the heavy sea, many passengers lingered late on deck that night to see the last of that coral-eirt shore, which was to be their final glimpse of land till they reached Honolulu, en route to San Francisco. Bit by bit, however, the cocoanut palms, silhouetted with their graceful waving- arms for a few brief minutes in black against the glowing background, merged slowly into the sky or sank below the horizon. All grew dark. One by one, as the trees disappeared, the passengers dropped off for whist in the saloon, or retired to the uneasy solitude of their own state rooms. At last only two or three men were left smoking Bnd chatting near the top of the companion ladder: while at the stern of the ship Muriel Ellis looked over toward the retreating island, and talked With a certain timid maidenly frankness to Felix Thurstah. There s nowhere on earth for getting really to know people in a very short time like the deck of a great Atlantic or Pacific liner. You're thrown together so much, and all day long, that you see more of your fellow-passengers' inner life and nature in a few brief weeks than you would ever be likelv to see in a lone twelve month of ordinary town or country acquaintancesnip. Ana Muriel Jillis had seen a great deal in those thirteen days of Felix Thurstan; enough to make sure in her own heart that she really likoi him so much that she looked up with a pretty blush of self-consciousness every time he approached and lifted his hat to her. Muriel was an .English rector's daughter, from a country village in Somersetshire; and she was now on her way back from a long year'B visit, to recruit her health, to an aunt in Paramatta. She was traveling under tho escort of an amiable old chaperon whom tho aunt in question had picked up for her before leaving Sydney, but, as the amiable old chap eron, being but an indifferent sailor, spent most of her time in her own berth closely attended by tho obliging stewardess, Muriel had found hor chupcronage interfere very little with opportunities to talk with that nice r. thurstan. And now. as the last glow of sunset died out in the western sky, and tho last palm tree faded away against the colder groen darkness of the tropical night, Muriel was leaning over the bulwarks in confident mood, and watching the big waves advance or recede, and talking the sort of talk that such an hour seems to favor with the handsomo vounar civil servant who stood on guard, as it were, beside her. r or t olix Thurstan held a government appointment at Lovuka, in Fiji, and was now on his way home, on leave of absence after six years' service in that now made colony. "How delightful it would no to livo

on an island like that!" Muriel murmured, half to herself, as sho gazed out wistfully In the direction or the disappearing coral reef. "With those beautiful palms waving always over one's head, and that delicious evening air blowing cool through their branches! It looks such a Paradise!" Felix smiled and glanced down at her, ns he steadied himself with one hand against tho bulwark, while tho ship rolled over into tho trousrh of tho soa heavily. "Well, I don't know abou; that, Miss Ellis." ho answered with a doubtful air. eyeing her close as he spoke with eyes of evident admiration. "One might be happy anywhere, of course - in suitable society: but if you'd Hvod ns long among eo oanuls in Fiii us I have. 1 dare sav tho ooetrv of tlicsocalm pulm-grove islands would bo a little less real to you. Kemoinber, though thov look so beautiful and dreamy, against the sky like that, at suDsot especially that was a heavy one, that time, I'm really afraid wo must go down to Iho cabin soon; she'll be shipping seas before long if we stop on dock much later and yot. it's so dolightful stopping up hero till the dusk comos on, isn't it'? ; - wo!l. remember, I was Baying, though they loo:t so beautiful and dreamy and poetical 'Summer ilsus of Edon lying' in dark purple spheres of soa,' and all that sort )f thing these islands aro inhabited !jy tho fiercest and most b'o- d thirsty :ann.bals known io tiMvlors." "Cannibals." Muriel repeated, iookuv up M bits in fcurpriao, "You

mean to say that Islands like these, standing right in tho very track of European steamers, are still heathen and cannibal?'' "Oh, dear, yes," Felix replied, holding his hand out as he spoke to catch his companion's arm gently, and steady her against the wave that was just going to strike the stern: ''Excuse me; just so: tho sea's rising fast, isn't it Oh, dear, yds: Of course they are: they're all heathen and cannibals. You couldn't imagine to yourself the horrible bloodthirsty rltoa that may this very minute bo taking place upon that idyllic-looking island, under the soft waving brauches of those whispering palm trees; Why, t knew a man in Marquesis myself a hideous bid native, as ugly as you can fafley him who was supposed to be a god, an incarnate god. and was worshipped accordingly With profound devotion by all the other islanders. Yon can't pioture to yourself hdw awful their worship was. I daren't even repeat it to you: it was too; too horrible. He lived in a hut by himself among tho deepest

iorest, ana Human victims used to bo brought, well, there, it's too loathsome! Why, see, there's a great light on the island now; a big bonfire, or something: don't you make it out? You can tell it by the red glare in the sky overhead. " He paused a moment; then ho added more slowlv. "I shouldn't be surprised if at this very moment, While 'We're standing here in such perfect security on the deck of a Christian English vessel, some unspeakable and unthinkable heathen orgy mayn't ie going On over tb are beside that sacrificial fire: and if s me poor trembling .native; girl isn't being led just now, With blows and curses and awful savagq ceremonies, her hands .bound behind her bad: Oh, look out, Miss Ellis!" Ho was only just in time to utter the warning words. Ho was only just in time to put one hand on each side of her slender waist, and hold her tight so, when the big wave which ho saw coming struck full tilt against the vessel's Hank, and broke in one white drenching sheet of foam against her Stern ahd quarter-deck. The suddenness of the assault took Felix's breath away. For the first few seconds he was only aware that a heavy sea had tisen shipped and wot him through ahd through with its unexpected deluge. A moment later, he was dimly conscious that his companion had slipped from his grasp, and was nowhere visible. The violence of the shock, and the slimy nature of tho sea water, hod made him relax his hold without knowing it, in the tumult of the moment, ahd had the same time caused Muriel to glide imperceptably through his fingers, as he had often known ah ill-caught cricket ball do in his school days. Then he sow he was on his hands and knees dn the deck. The wave had knocked him down, and dashea him against the bulwark on the leeward side. As ho nicked himself tip, wet, bruised, and shaken, he iooked about for Muriel. A terrible dread seized upon hU soul at once. Impossible! Impossible! she couldn't have been washed overboard! Any even as he gazed about, and held his bruised elbow in his hand, and wondered to himself what It could all mean, that sudden loud cry arose beside him from the quarter-deck, "Man overboard! Man overboard!" followed a moment later by tho answer cry. from the men who were smoking under tho lee of the companion, "A iadyi & lady! it't. Miss Ellis! Miss Ellis!" He didn't take it all in. He didn't reflect. He didn't even know he was actually doing it. But he did it, all the same, with tho simple, straightforward, instinctive sense of duty which makes civilized man act aright, all unconsciously, in any moment of supreme danger and difficulty. Leaping on to the tallrail without one instant's delay, and steadying himself

for an invisible fraction of time with his hand on the rope ladder, ho peered out into the darkness with keen' eyes for a glimpse of Muriel Ellis' head above the fierce black water; and espying it for one second, as she came up on a white crest, he plunged in before the vessel had time to roll back to windward, and struck boldly out in the direction where ho aw that helpless object dashed about like a cork on the surface of the o.-ean. Only those who have known such accidents at sea can possibly picture to themselves the instantaneous haste with which all that followed took place upon that bustling quarter-deck. Almost at the lirst cry of "Man overhoard!" the Captain's boil rang sharp and quick, as if by magic, with three l eremptory little calls in the engineroom below. The Australasian was going at full speed, but in a marvellously short time, as it seemed to all on board, the great ship had slowed down to a perfect standstill, and then had rover, ed her engines, so that she lay, juBt nose to the wind, awaiting further orders. In tho meantime, almost as soon as the words were out of the bo'Bun's lips, a sailor amidships, had rushed to the safety belts hung up by the companion ladder, and had Hung half a dozen of them oneafteranother, with hasty but well-aimed throws, far, far astern, in the direction where Felix hud disappeared in the black water. The belts were painted white, and they showed lor a few seconds, as thev fell, like bright si ecks on the surface of tho darkling sea; then they sunk slowly behind as tho big ship, still not quite stopped, ploughed hor way ahead with gigantic force iuto the groat abyss of darkness in front of her. It seemed but a minute, too, to the watchers on hoard, before a party of sailors, summoned by the whistle w ith that marvelous readiness to meet any emergency which long experience of sudden danger has rendered habitual among seafaring men, had lowered the boat, and taken their 6eats on the thwarts, and seized their oars, and were getting under way on their hopless quest of search, through tho dim, black night, for those two belated souls alone in tho midst ol tho angry Pacific. It seemed but a minute or t wo to the watchers on board, but oh. what un eternity of time to Felix Thurstan, struggling there with his live burden in the seething water! He had dashed into tho ocean, which was dark, but warm with tropical heat, and had succeeded, in spite ol the heavy seas then running, in reaching Muriel, who clung to him now with all tho fierce clinging of deBpair, and impeded his movements through that swirling water. More than that, be saw the white life-belts that the sailors Humr toward him: thev were well and aptly flung, in the inspiration of tho moment, to allow for the sea itself carrying them on the crest of its wavos toward the two drowning creatures. Felix saw them distinctly, and making a great lunge a t hey passed, in spite of Muriel's struggles, which sadly hampered his movements ho managed to clutch at no less than threo before the great billow, rolling on, carried them off on its top forever away from him. Two of these he slipped hastily over Muriel's shoulders; the other h; put, as best he might, round his own waist; and then, for the first time, still clinging close to his companion's arm. and bulfoted al out wildly by that running sea, he was able to look all ut him in alarm for a moment, and maize inn. o or li s what had actually happened. By this time tho Australasian was a quarter at Uo away in front of ta, j

and her lights were beginning to 'become: stationary as she slowly slowed and reversed engines. Then, from the summit of a great ware, Felix was dimly aware of a boat being lowered for he saw a separate light gleaming across the soa -a search was boing made in the black night, alas, how hopelessly! Tho light hovered about for many, many minutes, revealed to him now hore, now there, searching in vaiu to find him, as- wave after wave raised him time and again on its irresistible, summit. The men in the boat Were doing their best, no doubt: but what chance df finding- any one on a dark night like that, in an angry soa, and with no clew to guide them toward tho two struggling castaways? Current and wind had things all their own way. As a matter of fact, the light never came near tho castaways at all; and after half an hour's ineffectual search, which seemed to Felix a whole long lifetime, it returned slowly toward the steamer from which it came and left those two alone on tho dark Pacific, "There wasn't a chance of picking 'em up," the captain said, with philosophic dim, as the men clambered on board again, and the Australasian got under way once more for tho port of Honolulu. "I knew there wasn't a Chance, but in common humanity one was bound to make some show of trying to same 'em. He was a bravo fellow to go after her, though it was no good, df course. He couldn't oven lind her, at night, and with such a sea as that running. And even as he spoke. Felix Thurstan, rising once more on the crest of a much smaller billow for somehow the waves were getting incredibly smaller as he drifted on to leeward felt his heart sink within him as ho observed to his dismay that the Australasian must be steaming ahead once more, by the movement of her lights, and that they two wore indeed abandoned to their fate on tho open surface of that vast aud trackless ocean. TO BE CONTINUED. ARGENTINE CATTLE RANGE.

Six Hubdrcd tbouaand Square Mils!) of Territory tor Urazlrie Purposes. It is estimated that the pasturage land of the Argentine HepUblic is about 600,000 square miles in extent. In other words, it Is larger than Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Spain, and Portugal combined. The really good agricultural lands of this republic cover an area about equal to that of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia. Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, lllllnois. Indiana, Ohio Missouri, Iowa, and Wis onsin, and are capable of producing every crop grown in those States. Yet even the cattle wh ch are marketed as beef are never stall-fed, but are driven in lank and tough from the pampas. A while ago the Buenos Ayres Herald publishes the following significant Item: One of the prime necessities of the times is the fattening of cattle for meat We have no beef worthy of the name, while we have so many cattle that we cannot couut them. The Other day we heard Of a thousand young bullocks which could not be sold for 11.50 per head; yet we have tb pay very dear in this city for the Wy poorest Of meat The fact is that the cattle which reach us are utterly unfit t6i fddrl, but are good candidates for feed ng; and If those who own lands near by would go into the business of stall feeding cattle for the market it would not fail to prove profitable. One reason for this assertion is that the price of good beef Is greater here than in the United States, where the price of land and of food is much greater than in Argentine, and yet where they (Ind it a good business to fatten cattle. It is time that we had done with calling skin and bones beef. The price that animals bring in Buenos gAyres fluctuates with the season, but averages about as follows reckoned in gold: Mich cows, Slo to 15; working oxen, $10toSU5; beeves, $11 to Sib'; working mines, 820 to 1 '.; hirness horses (native), $25 to $40; shee'A from $1 to $V"9 and goats about the same. Buenos Ayres Correspondence Fhilauelpula liecnrd. Diet In German Prisons A Frenchman named Klein, who has u t l een released after unaortfoing a long term of imprisonment in Germany as a spy, gives a very uninvit ng description of life in German prisons. Klein has just returned to Har-1 -Due, where his family re ;;de. On the 11th of Feb uary, I $87, he was arrested at strasburg. where he was detained for live months awaiting his trial. At the end of that time he was taken to Leipsic, where he was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to six years hard labor. Soon afterward he was removed to a prison at Halle-on-Saale. For four years, ac ordlng to his story, he was not allowed to see or speak to any one, so that his reason seemed to be impaired, and he was removed, first to a madhouse at Berlin, then to another at stephausfeld. He was finally liberated on the 17th of December. At the prison of Halle K'ein occupied a cell about twelve cubic meters in size, with one small window in it, and his bed was a plank with a mal.e straw mattress and one blanket His food consisted chiefly of barley, peas, and other grain, with soup made of meat twice a week, and of tallow the other Ave days. The alloted daily task for each prisoner was twelve pairs of stockings, and the penalty for not completing them a beating with a cane.
