THE CONSCRIPTS

(Continued.) admiration and would have oarried with it conviotion had not these men been smarting under the bloody defeat of that day. They did not cross examine the pris oner. As their minds were made up such proceeding would have been waste of time. There was no motive that they oould see other than a sense of duty that could induce the men who made the oharges against the prisoner to tell anything but the truth. It was impossi ble that they could have plotted the ruin of a soldier who up to the time of their overhearing of his confession they had known nothing about. Then the fact that Snow had been oaptured m the Kentucky oampaign and his subsequent escape, instead of being used m his favor, told against him. His escape was winked at by the enemy, whose tool he was. But equally strong with the direot evidenoe against Snow was the fact that he was born and edu oated m Massachusetts and so was a Yankee of the Yankees. The Confeder ates were willing at that time to oon cede that a possible good might oome out of the other northern states, but from New England, and particularly from Massachusetts, nothing that was not obnoxious to southern gentlemen could emanate. "Snow," said the president of the court, "we are agreed that you are. guilty of every oharge and specification made, but m view of the fact that you are a gentleman, at least by eduoation, and have, whether intentionally or not we are not prepared to say, done good service for the Confederacy we shall save you from the gallows, whioh, you are aware, is the fate of the convioted spy, and find you guilty of desertion. " Then turning to the other members of the court the president asked, "Am I not right m this, gentlemen?" The officers compressed their lips and nodded, and the president continued: "I have never been oalled on to per form a more unpleasant duty than that ' which now lies before me. The sentence of this court -is that you, Allen Snow, having been found guilty of desertion j to the enemy while a battle was pend ing, shall be shot to death at daylight to morrow morning, the 2d day of Jan uary, 18G3, and the provost marshal of Murfreesboro, to whose oharge we now assign you, will carry out the verdict of this court. My advice ia that you em ploy your few remaining hours m mak ing your peace with heaven, and m im ploring that mercy whioh it will be folly for you to look for here, " With a pale face, but a bearing as calm as that which distinguished 'him when speaking m his own behalf, Snow bowed and was taken back to the jail by the provost guards. When James Coleman left that court, if such the scene of this farcical trial i can be called, ho felt that he was him self undor suspicion, and that soon he must do successfully what his friend had failed m, and that is, go over to the Union side. But he was not the man to permit alarm for his own safety to blind him to the awful position of his friend. Ho saw that the Confederate leader was preparing for retreat, and that within 24 hours, if not sooner, Murfreosboro would be abandoned and the Union troops m possession. About midnight General Bragg, with his staff, came back to the town and made his headquarters m a private resi dence. Coleman tried to be admitted to Bragg's presence, but he was told that < that officer was trying to get a few hours of much needed sleep, and had left orders not to be disturbed until day light. Failing m this effort, Coleman sought out General John C. Breckin ridge, but that officer refused to interest himself m the prisoner's behalf, stating as a reason that he knew nothing-about the case, and that if he did it was not within his provinoe to aot m the prem ises*.' ' ■ • - • That Coleman did not succeed was not due to a want of effort. In his jour nal., from which this experience is ob tained, he wrote of this particular night as follows: ' 'During the day I got wet to the skin, and when the rain died out about dark my clothing froze on me till I felt as if I were incased m armor. For the first time m my life I felt that I was losing control of myself, and the fate of poor Snow nearly drove me to distraction. I was well aware that m one quarter at least I was regarded as a suspicious qharaoter, and that this suspicion would extend as soon as the present confusion was over and Snow's fate became known

to his late associates.' If I had had the chance, I would gladly have taken the poor fellow's place, but it was not his fate or my own danger that troubled me at this time. It was rather the disap pointment that all my carefully planned schemes for the success.of the Union cause were about to come to naught. "In the hope that Governor Brown, whom I knew and regarded as a friend, might be induced to interoede for Snow I tried to telegraph him, but the ill luok that had come m with the new year was against me. The storm had broken down the lines between Steven son and Chattanooga, and they could not be repaired until the next day, when it would be too late. "At length, thoroughly weary and disheartened, I took a position opposite the jail and waited for daylight. With the first glow of dawn I heard the rattle of musketry and the roar of cannon to the north, but so near by that I imag-

The scientist of thirty years ago little dreamed of the wonderful advance 10 be made by tha JAPANESE Japanese towards PROGRESS- adapting themselves to the advantages of western civilisation. Japan to the average westerner at that period was little more than a name. Yet, nowa days, thn Japs, m many things, are all but dead-level with us. Electricity is with them, and their systems of electric lighting and electric t- action are such as to almost put western civilisation to the blush. The year 1888 saw the first electric installation m Japan, when an Ediaon plant was erected at Tokio. Today, by the application of convenient water power, the citizens of that city ride about their streets m electric cars. The Karnogawa water-way, with its ample supply taken from Lake Biwa, is one of the most notable engineering successes m the m the world. This canal has a constant flow of 300 ft per second, 250 ft of which is utilised for power purposes, the remaining 50f c is led of! by a second canal for irrigation pur* poses. An electric street railway is m satisfactory working order m Kioto, which has a service of some twenty* Bix carriages. When the time comes for the absorp tion of Holland by fome of the virile Powers, covetous THE ISLAND eyes will be cast on OF JAVA. Java, for even amongst tropical is lands there is none which excels it ■ for the variety and excellence of its pro* duct?. 1 here is hardly a species of tropical produce which the Dutch do not obtain from this luxuriant colony, and m the inarktts of Europe the prices and reputation of Javanese pro ductions are second to none. Sugar, tobacco, coffee, rice, tea, copra, qui nine bark, indigo, gums, and spices are amongst the commodities for the supply of which the Netherlands are indebted to Java, The quinine of Java, which produces about two-thirds of the world's supply, has for years been regularly shipped to Holland where it has been sold at public auction. The large quinine manufactories, mostly situat- d m Geruiauy, who supply them selves with the raw material m the Dutch market, have, however, during the last five or six yt-ars combined to keep prices at such a low level as to render the quinine cultivation un prcfitabl , notwithstanding the fact that lttrge dividends have.been derived from these manufactories, part of which shou'd rightly have found their way into plan era' pockets. In order to counterbalance the i fluence of this ring of quinine manufacturers, it was decided to establish a uinuutactory m Java. This quinine manufactory has since been oricted at Bandoeng, m the Pi ear gar Rpgencies, and delivered last year its first product, which is said to be of first-rate quality, and m all re spects equal to the best iutopean, brands. Some large shipments of the Bandoeng manufactory's products have towards the end of 1897 been made to London, and smaller ones to various other parts of the world, and much will depend upon the result of these ventures. The crop of quinine for 1897 was 7,901,5021 b from private and 597,2241 b from Government lands, against 9,440,8551 b aud 631,177 ib re spectively m 1896.
