The recent report that the Senator tad deter mined not to take part has caused grave alarm among the ring bosses The prospect of being suddenly de prived of one of thetr strongest cards 1* too much lor them and they don't propose to let the Senator off so easily It seems that some of the "anti s' have beaten them to the Senator and have succeeded in convincing him that the best thing he can do is to stay out But the ring will have a hand in nam ing the next legislative ticket here and it is understood that Logsdon and Lieber are prepared to tell the Senator that it is decidedly to his interest tc •tick to them The tragic affair down at Evansville :n which the governor and the troops had to interfere will cost the com monw ealth of Indiana in the neighbor hood of M OW' in cold cast in addi non to a heap ot unpleasant notoriety It is understood that the property loss at Evansville was something like *4' OW< no inconsiderable sum to be thrown into mot' violence.

A FREAK OF NATURE. Wonderfal Traveling Sand Hills That Are Found In Pera. After passing another "town” of three or four mud huts we enter the famous desert of Islay, on which are what I consider the most remarkable natural curiosities to be seen on this globe, for we are now among hundreds —nay. thousands —of pure white sand crescents on a plateau of LMO feet above the level of the sea and fiftyfour miles from the coast, where all | etoe to of a dark red or chocolate color. Whence comes this sand and why always in a crescent shape? Professor Bailey told me that scientific men do nut agree as to the reason why the sand always forms the same enweent shape, although It is generally believed that the whirling eddies hereabout are resjionsible. Some, however argue that such is not the case since each of these crescents has an opening toward the northeast. At any rate, tbe inner circle to an almost perpendicular wall of tbe finest pure white sand, and from tbe upper edges tbe crescents elope gradually away on the outside They averag. shout iwenty feet in bright. the inner circle having a diameter of some fifty feet although I have seen one at least a mile and a half In diameter, which wa*. however, not much higher than tbe average. These crescents more it to estimated, at tbe rate o f three inches every twenty four hour* and when on tbe alow Jourue, one comes near tbe railroad it becomes : necessary to shovel tbe sand a<roM the tracks after which it travels on. forming new crescents or mingling with some of tbe others.
