Man Who Scut Hi in te Prison Fur
Contempt The Victim's Career.
Following are additional particulars of
the killing of ex-Judge David S. Tcrrvln
a railway dining room at Lathrop, Califor
nia, en Wednesday morning, by Deputy U.
S. Marshal Nagle. Naglu w as detailed as a
special guard ler Justice Stephen J. Field,
of the U. S. supreme court. Terry had
struck Judges Field and was about te repeat
the blew when Nagle fired, killing Terry
instantly. An encounter had been feared
and the United Slates marshal was detailed
te accompany the Justiee by order or the
departmeut of Justice. Nngle was arrested
and Justlce Field proceeded te San Fran Fran
ciseo. When the Southern overland train ar
rived in Oakland, a great crowd had col
lected. Justlce i lelil was at ence besieged
by United Stales officials and newspaper
men. Justlce Field maintained his quiet
demeanor, and rolleJ te a press represen
tative, when asked te narrate the par
ticulars of the sheeting, its follews:
" I can tell you the story lu'n few words.
Fer the last few mouths all manner of re
ports, both public and personal, have
reached me that Judge Terry had threat'
ened te subject me te some lerm of Indig
nity If he should happen te meet me. This
fact caused the United States marshal te do de do
cide te previde such protection as he could
during my stay lu this state. When I
started for Les Angcles, te held court.
Deputy Nagle accompanied me. I le bee m oil
te be a rmlct, gentlemanly eQlclal, though I
only met him twlce while nwav from Les
Angeles. He asked me in that city when I
Intended te return, and accompanied me,
taking a scat In the sleeping car, oppo
site te me. We heard this morn
ing that Judge Terry and his wlfe wcre
en the train, but paid no attention te the
fact. When we arrived at Lathrop, we on en
tcred the eating station te get breakfast. I
took a se.it at the end of the table, while
Nngle "wit en one slde of me. Terry and his
w Ife came into tlie room seen after. As
t.oen as she mw me she w cut out of the
:oem, as I ufterwards learned, returning te
the car for her sntchel. Judge Terry rose,
and I supiwsed he Intended accompanying
her. Instead of doing se, he walked back
of me and struck me a heavy slap In the
face. I was completely astonished, and,
seeing he was making readv te strike
again, Nagle cried out, "Step," step," but
Terry did net resist, and, as he was raiding
his arm a second time, Nagle shot at him,
tlie bullet entering his heart. He fell te
the fleer, Nagle sheeting a second titiie,
but the second shot did net strlke him.
Nitgle was arrested at Tracy and taken te
Moikten te await the lcsult of the inquest.
"That is the complete story, as far as I
ptn aware of the facts," said the Justice, in
i oncluslen.
JUSTICE HELD WAS (IVXtWV.V.
Protection was accerded te Justlce Field,
It Is claimed, by authority of Uuited States
Attorney General Miller, w he telegraphed
from Wubnltigteu te the marshal el the dis
trict te soe that the person el the Justlce
was protected at any hazard. The order
exteuded also te Judge Sawyer, of the
United States circuit eeurt in Sun Francisce,
upon whom Mrs. Terry made a personal
assault last year, while en a railway train,
accompanied by Judge Terry. The order
was based upon this fact and upon threats
declared te have been made openly by
Terry against Justlce Field. Deputy Mar
shal Xagle was directed te otcempany Jus Jus
tleo Field, under this erder, and is said te
have given Judge Terry lull warning te
step when the latter began Lis attack upon
Justice Field, and Hied at Teriy when the
latter was about te strlke a second time.
Mr. Stackpele, ene of the proprietors of
tlie hetel, was standing In the deer and ob
served Mrs. Terry leave and also took netb
of the threatening leek which she cast upon
Field. He walked down the loom te where
Judge Terry sat, and, addressing him,
asked why his wlfe had left the tabic.
'Judge Finld is here," observed .Mr.
Stackpele, "and de you think your wlfe
would be se Indiscreet as te cause trouble?"
" Why de you ask that question ? " bald
Terry.
" Because I de net wish te have any
trouble here," was the answer.
" I don't knew," said Terry, quietly, and
then he added, significantly . "There
might be trouble. "
Tliis alarmed Stackpele, and he walked
back te the deer, determined te watch Mrs.
Terry when she returned. Stackpele was
ene of the men who captured Mrs. Terry
when she returned and took from her the
satchel containing a weapon.
A passenger who was en the tialu at
Lathrop says that when he licuil the
sheeting he rushed out of the car and saw
Mrs. Terry with a satchel In her hand. She
was trying te open It and he took it from
her. She tried te gain possession of It
again but fulled. When the satchel was
opened afterwards a pistol was found in
It. -i
Justlce Field left the overland train at
the Oakland Ferry, and dreve at ence te
the Palace hotel, whero he was Joined by
his wife. He was net ni rested, and the
notice te the chlef of police, claimed te
have been t.ent by the district attorney of
San Joaquin, if forwarded in that form,
was net carried out.
The coroner arrived lu Stockton at neon
with Terry's body In a box ceveicdwith
white cloth. Mrs. Tery rode lu the ex-
Iuess car with the remains, ueeempanied
ly sevcral friends of the deceased. When
the body was taken off the car she followed
and rotle with It In an express wagon te
the morgue. She was distressed and said
it was a most cowardly murder of an un
armed man. An Inquest was held Wed
nesday night.
Constable Walker took Deputy Nagle
from the train at Tracy, and procecded
with him te Stockton, whero he is new In
jail. District Attorney Whltoerdeiod the
arrest of Justice Field upon his arrival In
Sau Francisce, and telegraphed the order
te the slierlll'ef San Fianclsce.
Deputy Mai shal Nagle was taken te Stock
ton in a buggy by Censtable Walker, of La
throp. Nncle refused te be interviewed.
He said : "1 am deputy United States mar
shalaind simply did my duty as an elllccr."
He was locked tip alone, and seen alter
sent for the local attorney.
The killing caused extraordinary oxcite excite
inent in San Francisce en Weilncday.
The scene of the tiagedy Is bJ miles from
that city by mil, and Is the bieakf.isting
station for tlie Southern overland. The
possibility of an encounter between Terry
and Justlce Tleld has been rocegnlzcd ever
since the Imprisonment of Terry for con
tempt of court, ten months age, owing te
the known temper of the man who killed
United States Senater Brederick in the
early dayi of California.
David S. Terry was at ene tlme chief
justlce of the supreme ceuit of California,
and has always been a promlnent figure In
tlie political liistery of tlie state. Tlie kill
ing of Uredeilck caused, at the time, deep
peiseual resentment against Terry by a
portion of the peeple of the state, which
threatened te tcrmlunle his career in Cali Cali
ternla, but he always had a number of ad ad
hereuts and remained in llie state, though
he has only ence or twlce been befere the
peonle for position.
no was mameu te Marcili Altliea mil,
who claimed te be the wlioef cx-Scnater
Sharen, vvbile prosecuting her claim ngitlust
thoShaien estate. This brought him Inte
a resentful attltude tewatd Justice Field,
who last year rendered a derision in the
United States circuit ceuit in f in Fiuuiisce
denying her claim te lie the wife ersimrun.
Mrs. Terry cieatcd u scene lu ceuitdurlug
the reading of the decision, charging Jus Jus
tleo Field w Ith being corrupt, and as she
refused te remain quiet, Justire Field di
rected that she be removed from court.
When a deputy attempted te carry out the
order of the court, she became involved in
a personal quarrel with that elllclal and
Judge Terry Interfered, drawing a dagger
fiem his vast. He was disarmed and both
Terry and his wlfe wcre adiudned lu con
tempt and coinmlitedToTjall. In the mean
time Justlce Field went te Washington te
resume his duties ou the bench, reluming
te the city six weeks age. Newspaper
articles wero printed intimating that It
would be dangerous for Justlce Field and
Judge Terry te meet personally, as it was
thought the latter might uimlt the former,

while the fact was also recognized that
Justice Field would be quick te resent an
attack rrem Terry, knowing that It could
only result fatally te one or the ether in
view of the lattcrs record. If Judge Terry
had Intended te proveko Justice Field, and
drew a weapon before the latter could turn
Is of course net known, as Deputy Nagle,
who Kit opjiesite, prevented this bv firing,
resulting In the Instant death of Te"rry.
Chief of Police Crowley received a dis
patch from Sheriff Cunningham, of Stock
ton, te arrest Judge Field and Deputy
Marshal Nagle en the arrival of the train
at Oakland. Captain Lees at ence left for
Oakland.
TEMlY's STenMY CABEER. .
Dav Id S. Terry was born In Tedd count v.
Ky In 1823. When a young man he fought
in the Texan war for Independence from
Mexico, and afterward studied law and
was admitted te the bar. During the geld
fever he drifted te California, plunged at
ence into politics, and when only 33 years
of age waselectcd chief Justice of the state
supreme court. He attempted te break up
the Vigilantes, who virtually ruled the
state at that tlme, and stabbed ene of them
who had at tern pled te arrest a friend of
Terry. He was imprisoned for several
months, but all efforts te make him reslgn
his place en condition of his discharge
were unavailing, and he was finally re
leased. David C. Bredarlck was then a power in
California politics. In 1S03 he suggested
the idea that the Legislature could eleit
United States senators In advance of the
vacancies they wero te fill, his aim being te
go te the Sonate hlmself. He was bitterly
opescd by Dr Gwin, acting United States
senator, but In 1858 was electcd United
States senator for six years, and te the sur
prise of everybody named Gwin as his
associate, Gwin pledging himself te relin
quish all fed oral patrouage in his (Brod (Bred
crick's) favor. But when Brederick be be bo
came a follower of Stephen A. Douglas
Gwin secured the favor of the administra
tion at Washington, and tlie relations bo be bo
tvveeii the two men bocame mero strained.
The California state campaign of 1859 was
an Intensely bitter oue, and thore was a
strong oxchange of personalities between
Gwin and Brederlck. Terry hated the
latter, and publicly doneuncoa him ns an
arch traitor. Brederlck next day at a
hotel and in Hie presonce of soveral peeple
declared that If the Vlailantcs had hanccd
Terry they would have dene a righteous
act.
HE KILLED BRODERICK.
Terry sent him a challenge, and the two
men met early en the morning of Sop Sep Sop
lembor 12, but wero arrested by the pollce
and brought befere a pollce magistrate,
who discharged thorn. The next night
thev again met near San Francisce.
Thore were eighty spectators present
when the seconds field their conference
and the pistols wcrclexamlned and leadod.
A half dollar was tossed up, and Judge
Terry wen the cliolce of weapeus. Mr.
Hayes marked oil the ten paces aud warned
the spectators te meve back out of the line
of lire. Brederick was the coolest man of
his jiarly, his seconds appearing nervous
aud ill at case. Mr. Haskell, after partly
untying the senator's cravat, stepped baeJc
mid wiling his hands. He then removed
the cravat. This incident unmanned Brod Bred Bred
orick for a moment. Brederlck wero a
long surteut, and had a sett woolen hat
drawn down ever his brew. Terry Was
similarly attired. The requirements of
the cede wcre strictly followed. Bonhan
scaichcd Brederlck closely for concealed
mail, but McKlbben only touched Terry's
waistcoat and bowed. Brederick had lest
soine of his com;esuro. He wus nervous,
aud twitched at the skirts of his surteut.
He and Terry had taken thelr positions.
Terry steed erect and firm, apparently in
different te everything but his thoughts.
The pistols wero cocked, and they were de
livered te tlie principals. Beuliam slowly
read the conditions, and Mr. Colten gave
the Instructions as te the firing. The men
held the weapons muzzle downward.
" Gentlemen, " said Colten, " are you
ready ? "
Brederick replied after Terry, saying :
" I am ready. "
" Fire ! One "
Thore was a report from Brederick's
pistol, followed in a second by Terry's. Fer
some reason Brederlck's pistol expleded
befere It had been brought te a levcl. The
bullet buried itself lu the ground u third of
the distance short. Had it geno all the way
it would have struck Its mark, for It went
in a perfectly dlrect line. The report of
Terry's pistol hud hardly died away w lien
Brederlck was seen te start. He turned
half way round and grasped at the air as
though trying te recover his balance. His
head dropped and he fell flat en his back,
his pale lace unturned te the sky. He lav
en the ground while Colten and Haskell
supported his head. Dr. Ven Loehn, his
surgeon, was tee agitated te be of servlce.
The bleed spurted from the senator's
wound, and en Loehn did net seem te
knew hew te step It. Mr. Brooks Anally
stepped feiward. and In the name of Judge
Teny otlercd tlie services of his surgeon,
Dr. Hammend. But It was of llttle use.
The ball had entcred the right breast and
passed through the upper lobe of the left
lung.
Davis, ihe ewner of the ranch, who had
been a silent spectator of the duel, started
te his feet as Dr. Hammend began cutting
away the clothing from the wound, and
shouted excitedly :
" That Is murder, by Ged I"
He moved toward Teiry, but wus re
strained. It was fertunate that this remark
had been heard only by the Brederick
party, for there wero plenty of friends of
Terry there, all aimed te the teeth. Terry
had net moved. His arms were folded,
with the muzzle of a pistol projecting bo be
lilud him. He was erect asecr, unda
leek of inquiry upon his face, as though he
expected it call for a second shot. Ills cool
ness and ncrve wero rcmarkable even In
that gathering. As he flred he was heard
te say: "Ah! I struck him a llttle tee
high." Assuied that Brederlck's wound
was fatal, he started for his carriage and
was followed by his friends. They dreve
rapidly te San Francisce, and from thore
Terry w ent te hU ranch at Stockten.whonco
he quietly awaited events. He was arrested
therc en September 23 by two detectives
from San ! ranclsce, ami was put under
$10,000 bends.
ACQrirrKD or MuneEii nv a trick.
Terry was arrested and admitted te ball.
When tLe excitement was ever he de
manded a trial. All the details had been
llxed by his friends. He procured a change
of vonue from the place w here the murder
was committed te Main county, and his
friend, Judge J. II. Hardy, huiricd down
fiem Mokelumuo HUltotakechurgo of the
trial. On the day set for the case Hardy
and Terry avpeared In ceuit. The case was
called for 1U o'clock. It w as then 'J, and
the witnes'-esw cie en their way from San
Francisce. The bauds of the court clock
wcre set an hour ahead. Hurdy called the
case. There wus neither prosecuting at
torney nor witnesses prosent, se Hardy
discharged the prisoner. Fer his share In
that villainous transaction he was iin iin iin
poached by the Legislature In 16(52, hurled
lreiu the bench, took te drink, and died.
Terry left the state for a time, aud during
tlie civil war commanded a Confederate
regiment from Texas. After the war he
returned te California, ami again entered
political lift). He wus made a Democratic
elector in the presidential campaign of lfrsO
aud was the only man en the ticket defeated.
About live j cars age he again began te
attract geueral attention as the counsel of
Sirah Altliea Hill, who claimed te be the
wife of the late ox-Senater Sharen, of
Nevada. This woman began by suing
Sharen for dlvorce and alimony. The
plaiutill claimed te hae been privately
married te Sharen semu tlme in lesn, Tlie
ease ended only a low day age, Mr.
ha ren hauiK mcaiiwhile died, in the
llnal defeat of the w Oman's claims. Tci rv
graduallv monopolized the leading place
among her counsel, aud became se in
fatuated with her that en January 7, 15S0
soine time after Sharen's death he was
married te her in the Catholic church at
Stockton, Cal.
Terry managed the ea-e in his unual
fashion, and was involved in several frays
in open court, and en mero than one occa
sion drew his pistol en his antagonists. The
most serious of these fracases eccurred lu
Septciuber last, w lieu the Hill-Sharen case
was before Justice rield sitting as United
States circuit Judge. Justice Field was
reading a decision sustaining the Sharen
bident the contention. He was Interrupted
by the woman when he was half
way thieugh, and accused or having
btcu bought by the opposite bide.
'
LANCASTER,
The judge ordered her Inte custody,
but she made a stout fight, In which
her husband (Terry) Promptly took
part He knocked a deputy marshal
across the court-room, anil followed his
wife when she was dragged out of court,
drawing a dsngoreus-looklng dirk knife,
and threatening with death any ene who
attempted te keep him from his wife. A
desperate struggle ensued bofero he could
be disarmed.
When Justlce Finld finished reading his
decision he sentenced Terry te six months'
imprisonment, and the woman te thirty
days. Terry petitioned the court for a re
vocation of his sentence, but Justice Field
refused te threw off n slngle day, and he
remained in prison for the full time, being
roleasod ou March 3d last.
He Thrcntned Anether Jiuluc.
Portland, Oregon, Aug. It!. Sews or
the tragic death of Judge Terry produced a
sensation In this city. Terry's reputation
is se well known here that the news of the
fatal sheeting produced almost as much
excitement In this city as If it had been au
afTulr of local importance. Hvcry one
almost was familiar with the sentiment of
hatred Terry bere tewanl Justlce Flold,
born of the Sharen divorce suit and the
Justice's late decision lu that case. A few
days slnce a San Francisce paper staled
that Terry had threatenen te kill United
States Judge Matthew P. Deady, district
Judge, if he came te Sau Francisce te try
the cases against himself and wife.
Soen after the hews of Terry's death
reached this city a reporter called at Judge
Dcady's chambers and asked him whether
he had heard of the threats by Terry.
"Nell have net," answered the judge.
" But they would net deter me fiem per
forming my duty." Thore were five In
dictments hanging ever Terry's head, and
three against his wlfe arising from the dis
turbance in court in San Francisce. Hnd
Terry net been killed I should have gene
te San Francisce very seen, but new shall
await further Instructions."

A vcidictef death from tight lacing is,

tlie wear and tear of any sudden emotion.
She was a notorious tight lacer; her cellar

USED SHEEP JUICE.
DOCTORS DAU8 PUMP IT 15TB THE SYSTEMS
OF EK1IIT PATIENTS.
Physicians Without rulth In the Kfllcncy
or the Much-Vaunted riuM-lle-
suit te be Closely Observed.
Drs. S. T. and M. L. Davis have been
experimenting w Ith the Dr.Drewn-Scquard
elixir. They have Injected eight isitlents.
They selected the sheep at the abattoir,
supervised Its killing and used the greatest
precaution in the preparation or the fluid.
Their lmprosslen, from the experiments
made, Is that lu n few weeks' tlme it w 111
be shown that thore is nothing in the elixir
as a health .restorer.
Drs. Davis for the prcsent docliue te say
who the patients are, but they may In the
near future prepare au felaborate rctert of
thelr troatment aud the e licet of the elixir
en them from the tlme It was Injected
until its effect passed away.
Drs. Davis say they bollevo that they
can propare from cocoa, brandy aud beef
extracts an injection that will have as geed
if net better results than the elixir pro pre
parod according te the Brown-Sequard
formula.
They have cencluded net te innke further
oxperltnonts for the present, but will do de do
vete the closest attention posslble te the
effects of the elixir upon the subjects they
treated.
llaeteiiu In the Fluid.
Dr. A. B. Shaw, of St. LcuK who has
beeu making microscopic examinations of
Brewn-Sequard "elixir," has discovered
that the fluid was ollve with countless
bacteria, although but three hours had
elapsed slnce tlie elixir ttas prepared.
Bacillus tuberculosis, the bacillus that Is
supposed te cause tuberculosis, wero found
In great quantity, thousands being In a
slngle drop of the mixture. Mr. Shaw
cencluded that the glands wcre from a
sheep infected with the bacilli of tubercule.
as the mortar and pestle and the distilled
water hud been thoroughly storlllzed befere
the mixture was made. Dr. Shaw esti
mated that In n drachm of the injection
millions of these bacilli would have been
put Inte the S3'stcm, each ene eapable of
multiplying ltseir indefinitely. The dan
ger underlying such treatment can readily
be bcen and the chances would be ten te
ene that tuberculosis In soine form would
manifest Itself In the person Inoculated. In
two ether trials the bacillus tuberculosis
was discovered. The red shaped bacilli
wero also found in several samnlcs.
Dr. Shaw lays down the fellow lug rules
fortlieusa of the elixir:
" First. The laity should net use the In
jection themselves.
"Second. Physicians should net use It
until it has been submitted te microscopic
examination, te ascertaln whether It Is in
fested with bacteria or net, und care should
be taken Hint the glands are taken from a
perfectly heulthy animal.
"Third. All Instruments and vossels
should be thoroughly sterilized, and even
the distilled water should net be used until
oxamlned for bacteria."
Tests lu New Yerk.
The physicians of New Yerk have net,
up te tlie present time, shown that lntorest
lu Dr. Brewn-Scquard'H elixir which has
been felt by theso of ether cities. A few or
them, however, have been making ex
periments since the first announcement of
the propertics of the rojuvenator. This
has been the case at the Loeuils laboratory,
which Is an annex te the University
Medical collcge. The oxpeilinents will be
continued for two months at least, as the
operators expect te make valuable tests,
the results el which will be published In
medical Journals.
The experiments have been made by
Dr. Loomis and his associate. Dr. By ion.
They have inoculated already seven pu
tlents, and will expcrlmcnt with fifty or a
hundred ethers befere making full state
ments about the clllcucy of the elixir. Dr.
Byren said yesterday that as yet they did
net feel that they had arrived at icsulls
worthy of any deilulte conclusion,
The elixir which the physicians use Is
made from parts of u sheep freshly killed
and dlstille 1 water. When ready ler Inoc
ulation the fluid, which wen shown te a re
porter by Dr. Byren, Is of a mllky-while
color, and net unllke milk in consistency.
It is InJctted Inte the skin under tlie thigh,
w hlch. with the arm, Is considered the best
place for the Injection. About thirty drops
of the liquid ure used. The nccdlcerthrcad
of the syringe through which the fluid Is
injected Is about two Inches long. The
Insortlen, however, Is net painful, the doc
tor said, aud llttle or no liuneness had re
sulted from the injections. Only ene man
had complained thus far.
Although the majority of tlie beven
patlents who have been inoculated profess
te fcel much better, the doctors de net con
sider their declarations te be trustworthy.
While the patients are net aware that they
are receiving the Brown-Sequard elixir,
they wcre luduced te submit te the treat
ment by being assured that it would bcuo bcue
(It them. Hcnce, the doctors think that
imagination has much te de witli their sup
posed Improvement.
The patients opeiatcd upon haebecii,
with oue exception, uged men. The young
man Is deaf, and the Injection bus as yet
net incrcaf ed bis pewers of hearing. The
doctors, of ceurse, de net pretend te say
what the final effect upon his hearing will
be. Further experiments may be of avail
lu relleving him. On tlie ether hand, au
old man who is aflllcted with asthma,
who has had only thrce Injections, declares
that he new breathes with much greater
case than befere his first visit te Dr.
Loemts. He has a confident bellef that he
will recover cntlrely. The ether patients,
the majority of whom suffer from dis
eased lungs, are equally sangulue
since the uocdle has been placed lu their
flesh. Knewius that will power and Im
agination have great influence upon such
cases, the physicians are unwilling te ac
cept the statements of their subjects with
out the present popular grain el salt. They
have, tficrefore, endeavored te learn their
true condition by examination with the
proper Instruments. They bolievo after
these investigations that the patients have
misjudged or misinterpreted their sensa
tions. They aie influenced, the physicians
think, like the participants lu the faith
cure. They will net glve a statement
favoring the elixir until they ,are convinced
of its efficacy.
Medical science, Dr. Byren says, cannot
tell a priori whether It Is valuable or net.
Experiments ulone can demonstrate this
fact. He bclievcs that many of the pub
lished statements of miraculous and In
stantaneous cures are untrue. But Dr,
11 v ren says that an Injection of the fluid,
whether it cuies or net, can ut least de
no harm. Care In the operation must be
used, howe or. Only a skilled physician,
accustomed te the use ofjantlsentics should
undortalce the operation, lujiiileus results
might otherwise lollew. An abvilute no ne no
cessity Is the cliolce of a perfectly hiailthy
animal. Unless asuied of the condition
of the animal, tlie fluid should net be made.
The experiments at the laboratory have
already lafcted mero than a wttk. Twe of
the seven patients are inmates of Bellevue.
The ethers are diipcnxary patients.

PROGRESS OF THE CONtlQ STATE.

Liouteuant Emery II. Taunt, United
States commercial agent at Bema, Conge
Free State, en Wodnesday filed with the
dcpartmonllef state a reert en the lower
Conge basin, en the southwest coast of
Africa. He says: "Slnce uiv report lu
February, ISSi, the organization or the
Conge Free State has Veen perfected, and I
new find a well equipped government, with
a full corps of efilclals, ceutts or laws,
posteilleos, ciiiteuts stations, a standing

rency or geld, silver and copper." The
Europerti scat of government isat Brussels.
Vessels drawing twenty-one feet or wuter
can go up the river as rums Matadt station,
175 miles rrem the sea. Four lines or

Cable communication can be had at the
mouth or the Gaboen river, forty-eight
hours sail north of Banena, and etS"t. Paul

The Dutch Arrlcan Trading company Is
the eldest aud most llcumhlng of tlie trad
ing companies en the Conge. The Belgian
Joint stock company of the Conge Is e
new corporation Just organized In Brus
sels with American, French und English
money, which Lleutcuant Taunt thinks
w 111 ubseib the greater part or the trade of
the valley of the Conge. One of Us pro
jects is the building of u railway freni Ma
ladl, the head or navigation en the lower
river, le Stunley Falls, Iho beginning or
navigation ou the Upper Conge, 210 miles.
The capital stock, $e,-IOO,(HW, him all been
subscribed f00,000, It Is said, bv ene
American capitalist. On the Upper Conge
there Is a great demand for cotton goods
canned feed, cutlery, lumber and roadv readv roadv
made houses. England and France are
gradually securing all this trade, much of
which originally came from the United
State. An Immonne trade with Arabs In
Cen tml Africa will be opened up with the
opening or the Upper Conge.
On the subject or missions Lieutenant
Taunt says: "The American mission en
the Conge are tlie Baptist. Methodist
(Bishop Taylei's), and faith euro (Dr.
Simpsen's), all Pretestant. The Baptist
mission Is doing excolleiit work, and is lu
a flourishing condition. The ether two are
in anything but a flourishing state. Bishop
Tayler's mission hns n slight advantage

Is at present a failure, due te the fact that
It was started, and he Is Irving te

sibilities of the Conge country and climate.
Tills Is net only my own opinion, but that
