SERIOUS OUTLOOK TOE THE QUARKEL
TUT CABLZTO THE DISPATCH. J
London-, November L The storm fore
shadowed in tbce dispatches some time ago
seems to be drawing down fast over the head
of Mr. Stanley, who has had the chief share
in bringing it on. His animadversions,
published last week in a book just issued
by the brother of Major Barttelot, have been
followed by an outbreak of accusations and
counter-accusations ail the way from Berlin
to Xew York.
The personal aspects of the uproar will be
abundantly considered. Already, in all the
clubs at the West End, the very grave
nature of the charges made by Stanley
against the memory of the Major and the
uncertain, not to sav contradictory manner
in which he has repeated these charges on
different occasions, create the feeling that
the probable outcome of the business will
be serious An officer of high rank in the
British arm v said to-day:
STANLEY INCONSIDERATE.
"Stanley was very iuconsiderate in taking
np the Barttelot book as he die. He ought
to have reflected that many of the interests
besides his own are concerned in any serious
quarrel over the I'uiin Pasha relief expedi
tion and its adventures.
"As a matter of fact, the Emin Pasha re
lief expedition, it may as well be plainly
said now, was a financial and not a philan
thropic operation primarily. Mr. Stanley
himself virtuallv admits this in his state
ment that he invested in it 12,000 and con
tributed to it 3.000 more.
"Lieutenant Troup, I see, questions this
statement, and intimates that Mr. Stinley's
investment was simply an estimate of the
money he lost by going to Africa in search
of Emin Pasha, instead of remaining in
England and America to lecture about
Africa.
AFTER AIT.ICAN TERRITORY.
"Be this as it may, the persons most
deeply concerned in preparing the expedi
tion, and th. number includes, jmong
others th: King of the Belgians, Lndy
Bur ilc t-'j i - aim personages somewha;
near the British throne, undoubted! re
garded th: expedition as a means of gam
ing gieu trans of country and valuable
products whit-li had been put out of reach
by the fall of Khartonm and a change in the
relation1' of Eg) pt to the Soudan.
"Dr. Peters and the Germans were always
aware of this object and now state
it plainly. Dr. Peters even going so
Jar as to" say that the real motive
of the expedition was to obtain a :rreat stock
of ivory brought together by the natives
through iheif confidence in the power of
Etui n Pasha to protect them. There is
something absolutely humorous in the Ger
rotn account of the relation between Emin
Pisba and the expedition which was sent to
ddiver him.
EMIN PASHA THREATENED.
'According to the German story, Emin
Pflii did not wish to be delivered, and was
ody induced to allow himsel" to be de-L-frred
by a threat ot open war witii his de
liverer. He absolutelv refused to allow his
cehveier to remove the ivory, and threat
ened to fisht in order to prevent that.
"Whatever the amount of the investmert
actuallv made iu tl.e Emin Pah i expedi
tion was it is believed that the 10 000 pre
sented by Lady BurJclt-Coutta to Mrs.
Stanley on her marriage nere intended to
represent the financial interest of which
Mr. Stanley was tnousht by hi friends to I
be entitled to on account o' Ibr expedition.
"Mr. Shniead liartlcu Coutts, who ac
companied Mr. and Mrs S'auley to Amer
ica, though he care ully g ive out be ore
leaving that he w not traveling with their
party, may doubtiess. it he will, throw light
on this incident of the affair.
discussion or THE 1 xplorer's RECORD.
"The attituile ol Lieutenant Troup and
others connected with the rear guard makes
it plain that it the controveisv goes ou in
America it will evidently resolve itself into
a discussion of the chiractcr and whole
career of Mr. Stanley. He has made it so
apparent that he regaids the failure o the
rear guard as the result ol incapacity or
Muneibing wore on the part of the officers
concerned, including the late Major Bart
telot, that it is impossible the contest should
aot become shaiply aud disagreeably per
sonal. "Already, I understand, several newspa
pers ir London have received, but declined
to publish, a communication impugning the
right of Mr. Stanley, in view of his own
career, to bring forward imputations affect
ing the honor and truthfulness of so many
other men. This is to be regretted, but it
could hardly be avoided.
SYMPATHY FOR THE BARTTELOTS.
"The position o" the Barttelot lamily in
the matter excites great syrarathy, while it
would teem to be possible, in view of the
statements not only of Mr. Stanley, but of
Lieutenant Troup, that Major Barttelot was
a man o quick temper aud of more lrrasci
bility than suited the leader of such a force
in such a country.
"No one who kuew the Major here ques
tions his truthfulness or his soldierly honor.
He comes of a military family, his father. Sir
Walter Barttelot, M. 1., having served in
the army, and his grandfather having gone
to the Peninsular war under "Wellington.
His brother, editor ot the book just pub
lished, is also a Major in the army. To all
attempts to interview him on the subject of
Mr. Stanley and his brother, Major Barttelot
steadily replies that he and others of the
family have now only one wish, which is
that Mr. btauley would plainly state once
for all what the imputations arc he puts
upon their dead son and brother.
KILLING OF THE MAJOR.
"The obvious inconsistency between Mr.
Stanley's statement ol last mouth in Lon
don and his statement of Wednesday, made
on embarking for America, makes it im
pcrta it that he should meet this challenge
ana cxnlain freely the grounds, above all,
on which he insists upon describing the
death of Major Barttelot, not as a murder
but as an act of killing. The implication
here plainly is that Major Barttelot was
killed while performing, or attempting to
perform, some unlawful act.
"The Barttelot family possesses the record
of the court by which the alleged assassin
of Major Barttelot was tried and found
guilty. This they desire to publish, and
tl.ey desire al60 the publication of all the
reports oi the rear cuard now in Mr. Stan
ley' possession. Clearly the best way ot
patting a stop to all criticism will be for
Mr. Stanley without delay to make known
to the whole world the particulars, whether
fit or unfit for publication, as he says, con
nected with the mstoryoi the rearguard.
SIGNS OF STARTLING DISCLOSURES.
"Ii this be not done, and done promptly,
all the symptoms show that the business
may, in one form oranother, be taken before
the'English courts of law, in which case an
immense deal of light, not wholly unex
pected perhaps by the initiated, but certain
to startle the gemral public, must inevitably
be thrown upon the motives, origin and
issue o." these remarkable explorations and
expeditions into the Dark. Coutlnent."
Stanley was accompanied by other dis
tinguished people ou the Teutonic. His
own party consisted of his wile and her
mother, and Hamilton Aide, who, it is sur
amed, will act as historian of the tour, and
A. J. Mounteney Jephson, one of his favor
ite lieutenants, whose book, "Emin Pasha
and the Rebellion at the Equator," was
issued to-day. Stanley travels with a courier
and a valet, while Sirs. Stanley and Mrs.
Tennant share one maid between them.
EUROPEAN TARIFF.
THE NEW FRENCH OUTIES WORSE THAN
THE M'KtNLEY BILL.
The Idea of an Aggressive Tariff War
Against the United States Given Up ns
Visionary Trance "Working Against
Doth Austria and Gcnnanj .
corybigut, ism. bv tiik jtj5vt york associated
press.:
Berlin, November 1. The commissioa
on the tariff question, presided over by Herr
von Boetticher, Minister of the Interior,
has concluded its consideration of the pro
posed Austro-German customs union. The
report of the commission has not been
published, pending the progress of negotia
tions with Austria, but its conclusions are
known to dislavor both an extensive revision
oi the customs and combined action1 in the
way of reprisals for the AmencaV and
French tariffs.
SiThe new Trench tariff is a heavier-blow
by far than the McKinley law against the
Austro-IIuugarian export trade, for, whlje
the French miasure does not affect Germany,
exportation from Austria to France is al
most destroyed by the new tariff. Wood,
sheep, corn, flour, fresh and salt meat and
beef are chiefly affected,-the increase in the
duties being practically prohibitive. Aus
trian newspapers declare that the French
Government, in drafting the hill, directly
aimed at frustrating all attempts toward
closer commercial relations between Ger
many and Austria.
The Government does not come near Aus
tria's wishes so far as joint reprisals lor
the McKinley tariff bill are concerned, an
official inquiry having shown conclusively
that such action was an impossibility. The
Cologne Gazette, commenting upon the situ
ation, declares that the ulea of v. tariff war
against America is entirely visionary, and
that the difficulties in realizing such a pro
ject are insurmountable.
THE KAISEB AND BISMABCK.
The Kmperor Did Not Tress the Tit-Chancellor
to Attend the Fetes.
Berlin, November L A communica
tion which appears in the official press, de
nying enrtly that the Kaiser took any step
whatever to induce Prince Bismarck to
cometotheMoItkefetes, suggests nolessening
of the Imperial animus. The Bureau of the
Oberhaus sent an invitation to Bismarck as
a member or that body, but the ex-Chancellor
told bis friends that, while he would re
spond to an invitation from the Kaiser, fie
could not mingle with the Imperial circle
unless be was made welcome.
An article in the Hamburger Xaehrichten,
clearly the Prince's own, relers to the ex
ultant' howling of his enemies, and,declares
that the calumnies will be regarded with
contempt by all right-feeling people.

London, November 2. Herbert Ward,

had to live on moldy biscuits and rice full
of-mnggots, v-hile stores of luxuries were re

ENGLAND AND PORTUGAL.
Denial That Great Britain's Friendly Atti
tude is Dne to German.
Berlin, November 1. The Xorth Ger
man Gazette denies the rumor that the more
friendly attitude of the British Government
toward Portugal is due to German inter
ference. The German Government has not ven
tured to express any opinion to the British
Government through its Embassador in
London, though it hails with satisfaction
tne settlement of the dispute.
KOCH'S CONSUMPTION CUBE.

Berlin, November 1. Dr. Koch will
read a report on his cure for consumption at
the Berlin Academy of Medicine at the De

Prof. Leyden, who is in the confidence of
Koch, considers the latter's discovery of the

says that it is a chemical substance which is
injected into the bodv, and that it even

Bisinarck as a Brewer.
Berlin, November 1. Prince Bismarck

Mr. Marshall said he was 68 years of age
and had not long to linger here, but he
wanted to vote for a man who would he a

BURIED IN MYSTERY.
Traces of Murder Appear in "tbe
Strange Death of a Briton.
SUICIDE SUSPECTED IN THE CASE.
His Dead Body Discovered In the Room of a
Ionkrs Hotel.
IT RESEMBLES THE BENWKMj AFFAIR
nritriAi. tzleoram to the DisrATca.1
New Yobk, November 1. The mystery
connected with the death of James H. Ed
gar, the English druggist, at the Getty
House, in Yonkers, on Monday, has not
been cleared up.
James H. Edgar, according to Broker P.
H. Sumner, is the real name of a man who
registered as George Smith on the Getty J
House register. Mr. Sumner says tnai un
letter which the suicide left for the proprie
tor of the Getty House is not in Mr. Edgar's
handwriting. Mr. Sumner unhesitatingly
pronounces the letter a forgery. The letter
read as follows:
To the Proprietor of theUctty House:
I ask pardon for causing jou or your guests
any trouble. The inhumanity of a few persons
lias driven me to despair and death.
The entry ou the hotel recister, "George
Smith," which was written by Mr. Edgar
when he took his room at the hotel, is in his
handwriting. Mr. Hall, the clerk, saw him
sign it. The handwriting in the letter
differs in some poiuts from that on the
register.
FOUIi PLAY SUSPFXTED.
Mr. Sumner is positive that there has
been foul play. Wnen Mr. Edgar was
found iu the room a revolver of large cali
ber lay upon the bureau. It was then sup
posed that the man had intended to shoot
himself in case the poison he had taken did
not kill him. All this looks to Mr. Sumner
as if it was a carefully prearranged plan.
Mr. Sumner says that the dead man and
his nephews had some difficulty in England.
Mr. Sumner did not tell what the precise
nature ol the difficulty was, but said that it
was of a serious'' nature. Mr. Edgar, the
dead man, took the name of Smith in New
York a few months ago. He wanted Sum-,
ner to go to London and settle some troubles
there. " He offered to pay Sumner $5,000 for
his services. Sumner refused to go.
George H. Edgar and Robert Rowe, the
nephews of the dead man, have not been
hrard of since the former rushed into the
office of Mr. SumnerThursday, and told him
that "Uncle James" had committed suicide
in Yonkers.
NO TKACE OF THE NEPHEWS.
The two detectives that Inspector Bvrnes
put on the case at the request of the Yon
kers officials have no trace of them. The
black satchel that a dozen persons saw Edgar
take to the hotel with him and that might
have contained $5,000 in cash which he had
received just one week ago last Saturday is
still missing. No one seems to know what
has become of tl.e rest of the $0,000 that
Edgar brought to this country.
The whole thing resembles somewhat the
Benwell-Birchall mystery. Edgar was an
old man, and he had a wife and six children
in England. It would not be natural for a
man oi his age and possessed of wealth to
leave his home and his country unless
through extraordinary inducements.
LETTERS FROM AMERICA.
Edgar intended to go back. All the while
he was in America he kept up a continual
and pleasant correspondence with his wife.
Like Benwell, he may have been induced to
come here by swindlers and robbed and
finally murdered or driven to take his own
li e. The doctors say he died of morphine
poison, but no antopsy has been made. The
body has not even been carefully examined
lor any external wounds there might be.
In all probability there will be an autopsy
made to-morrow "on Edgar's body. The
officials have awakened to the fact that
something besides morphine might have
caused his death.
A SHD? ON FIRE.
The Hold of the X.cona, in New Tork
Harbor, a Fierj Furnace.
New York, November 1. At 10:10 to
night fire was discovered in the hold of the
new iron Mallory steamship Lcona, which
had arrived this morning from Galveston,
Tex., with a crew of 65 men and 16 pas
sengers, and a cargo of 5,500 bales of cotton.
First and second officers James Biley and
Henry T. Carr were alarmed by the ringing
of the firebell, and they hurried the only
two women aboard ashore and took them to
the United States Hotel.
Seven fire engines pumped water into the
burning hold, which was like a raging fur
nace. At midnight it was decided to scut
tle the burning vessel just where she was,
berthed atnngside the pier, as the fire could

ported that one of the crew was asleep on
board the vessel, but this report could not
be confirmed.

CURTIS IN TROUBLE.

The Comedian Sells His Brother Actor a
Piece of Bogus Town Property Which
He Did Not Own Scheme for an Actors
Paradise.
srKClAL TSLFORAM TO THK PISFATCTI.S
Philadelphia, November 1. Actor
Daniel Sully, "the millionaire," through
his counsel, Eugene Raymond and John
A. W. Alvord, 'to-day issued an attachment
under thrfraudulentdebtors'act against M.
B-Curtis1, "Samuel of Posen,"wbo closed to
night in,,the "Shatchcn," at the Grand
Opera Honse.
Samuel of Posen is charged with fraudu
lently obtaining$600 from "the millionaire"
in a neaUvttle land deal, in which Samuel
of Posen" sold the millionaire some Cali
fornia building lots which he didn't own.
Sully claims that in June, 1887, while he
was playing an engagement at the Bush
Street Theater, San Francisco, Curtis in
vited him to goon a bunting expedition to
Berkeley, Alameda countv, Sully ac
cepted. While at Berkeley Curtis showed
him a plan of a considerable tract of land
of which he claimed to be the owner, and
stated, that he was soing t" break it
up into building lots and lay out
a city to be called Po'enville.
Curtis, Sully says, pointed out particularly
two lots, which were to be at the corner of
Posenville and Main streets, and a railroad,
which was, Curtis said, to connect Posen
ville witn the rest of California.
The new town was to be a sort of aetors'
paradise, and Curtis, Sully cl:ims, ofipred
to let Sully in on the ground floor because
he wanted some good actors to give the place
tone. Sully bouiht the two lots at $300
apiece and paid Curtis $600. Sully claims
that he then left California but kept up a
year's correspondence with Curtis, en
deavoring to get the titles to his- corner.
Jots. About a year after paying or tne lots
Sully again met Curtis in California, and
for the first time, he claims, Curtis informed
him that he (Curtis) did not own the
ground, explaining that he had expected to
own it, but that the California owner re
fused to convey it to him.

OEIGIK OF CAMP MEETING.
Necessitated at First by tho Great Revivals
Following Earthquakes.
M.JliOuls Globe-Democrat, j
The life of Voltaire speaks somewhere of
the great revivals which followed the earth
quake of Lisbon in 17S5, and a similar man
i'estation spread all over the West and
South after the earthquakes at New
Madrid in. 1810 and 1811. Hundreds of
ueople went to church who never attended
Wore, and so great were the crowds and so
livelywas the religious interest felt that
'the meeting houses and sclloolhouses where
religious exercises were held could not ac
commodate the people, and so booths were
put up, and thus originated the camp-meeting.

ISrECIAI, TKLSOUAM TO THE OISrATCIT.l
New Yobk, November 1. Beginning
this week there will be placed authoritatively
before the American people the detailed
facts regarding the material and political
crisis with which the Irish nation finds
itself confronted. The political side of the
question will be presented with force and
eloquence by the members of the Irish com
mittee, most of whom will arrive to-morrow
on La Champagne of the French line. The
members of this committee are John Dillon,
William O'Brien, T. P. O'Connor, T. P.
Sullivan, Timothy Harrington and T. P
Gill. Mr. Gill is already here, Messrs.
Dillon, O'Brien, Sullivan and Harrington
are expected to-morrow, and Mr. O'Connor
will come in on the City of New York, ar
riving Wednesday.
Tne plan of campaign in general outline
is this: The lull delegation will visit to
gether the great cities of the country and
address public meetings. After that, mem
bers of the delegation will go in pairs to the
smaller cities until the country has been
pretty thoroughly canvassed. Then, prob
ably, three months hence, the entire delega
tion will go to Canada on a similar errand.
THE MISSION IN CANADA.
Of course great interest attaches to the
latter part of the programme both in view
of the violent reception which some of the
members met with in Canada on their last
visit a few years ago and because Dillon
and O'Brien arc fugitives from justice and
are liable to arrest the moment they set foot
on British spjl.
The first public appearance of ttre delega
tion in this country will be at Philadelphia
next Thursday. The Academy of Music,
the largest auditorium in town, was secured
for the purpose some time ago, but already
the demand for seats is more than twice as
great as the capacity of the building, and it
has been arranged to repeat the speeches at
a second meeting, to be held iu the same
place on Friday evening. On Sunday next
the delegates will speak in Boston's biggest
theater. The same news about the demand
lor tickets comes from Boston, and it has
been found necessary to hire two theaters in
stead of one, and to carry on meetings sim
ultaneously in both theaters. The first New
York meeting will be held on November 10.
A -WAKM T.ECEPTION PROMISED.
The delegates will be warmly welcomed
on their arrival to-morrow. A "large party
of representatives of all the principal Irish
societies will go down the bay early to-morrow
morning ou the steamer John E. Moore,
and the visitors will be taken off La Cham
pagne at quarantine.
The party will land at the foot of West
Tvventv-tbird street and will go to the Hoff
man House. The delegates witl rest during
the day, and in the evening a reception will
be given them at the hotel. An address on
behalf of the Irish societies will be presented
to the visitors.

It appears to be the belief of some that
as man in the savage state has for the most
part been largely if not wholly, carnivorous, be
will with the progress of civilization become
ctlrely vegetarian or use only tho products of
animals, as eggs and milk, with vegetable food.
A vegetable diet has been found verysnecess
ful in treating kidney tioubies and indigestion.
In point oi economy it is an enormous saving,
not only in actoal cost to the consumer, but
also in land, as or two equal portions of trronnd.
one raising a cereal and the other beef or mut
ton, the part devoted to tho cereal will support
ten times as many men as the beef or mutton
portion.
A controversy has arisen about the
"largest check" that ever was written. A few
years ago the Manchester Ship Canal Company,
when buying out tbe Bridgenater trunees.
drew one check for 1,7JO,000 on Glynn fc Co.,
and this document can still be seen at the o dices
of the Ship Canal Company, Deansgate, Man
chester, where It is framed as a curluoitv. A
check for an enormous amount passed through
tho "honse" In 1879 or 18&0. The amouqt was
upward of 3,250,000, and was iu settlement of
an arbitration award.
It is said that the nickel appropriation
of Sl.000,000 ordered by tbe late Congress for

there are only about a dozen nickel mines in
tbe world, and only three are on this continent.
The output of these mines is doubtful, and one
source mar mt be sufficient. Other nations
uny also see the advantages of the new alloy,
and it is stated that Krnpp's representative is
already seeking to cam possession ol tbe
Canadian mine. The other two American
mines are in Nevada and In Lancaster county.

The oldest lawsuit ever known is now in

in St. Petersburg. Originally ft was brought
600 years ago against tbe city of Kameneg
Podolsk, by tbe heirs of a nobleman, to recover
several thousand acres of bis estate which had
been confiscated by the municipality. The
testimony in-the case is weighty. There are
45 tons of it in manuscript.
The wealth of the Vanderbilts to be not
overstated, amounts to over t200.000.000.
With this sum they could purchase S12 tons of
gold and have something left over, but they
couldn't buy two tons of gallium, that rare
metal being worth S3,2o0 an ounce. With this
metal the highest price is reached, ana it may
well be called the rarest and most precious of

LOHDOK'S GEOWTH.
It is Quite as Remarkable as That of Ameri
can Cities.
From the Century.i
We are too frequently disposed to think
of the rapid growth of our American cities,
as merely incidental to the settlement of a
new country, and to regard the Euro
pean cities as old and stationary. It
is true that their nuclei are ancient,
but so far as tbe greater part of their
built-up area is concerned they are almost
or quite ns new ns the American cities.
They, like our own population centers, have
grojin unprecedently in recent decades as
the result of modern transportation aud in
dustrial systems. Thus London to-day is
five times as large as it was at the opening
of the present century. From 900,000 at
that time, the population of London grew
to 1,500,000 in 1830; and by 1855 it had in
creased to 2,500,000. Since 1855 it has more
than doubled.
Tbe .present sovereign has witnessed a gain
of 200 per cent or more since she began to
reign. There are three or four dwelling
houses now-for every one that was visible at
the date of her coronation. In the past 40
years from 2,000 to 2,500 miles of new streets
have heen formed in London. Who, study
ing the growth of foreign cities, can doubt
the contmued'growth of our own? London
is not an exception. All the other great
towns of England have grown un as if by
magic within this century.
The same statement applies to those of
the continent. Paris is five times as large
as it was iu the year 1800; Berlin has
grown much more rapidly than Paris;
Vienna has-expanded marvelously since
1840. An examination of the causes which
have built up these European centers easjlr
justifies the judgment that none of our 20
leading American cities has begun to
approach its maximum size.
THE FTBST EMIGSANT TBAUT.
The Graphic Story of an Old California.
Pioneer of 41.
November Century.i
On leaving Weston, where they had been
so much opposition, we were six or seven in
number, and nearly half the town followed
us for a mile, and some for five or six
miles, to bid us goodby, show
ing the deep interest felt in our
journey. All expressed good wishes and
desired to hear irom us. When we reached
Sapling Grove, the place of rendezvous, in
May, 1841, there was but one wagon ahead
of us. For the next few days one or two
wagons would come each day, and among
the recruits were three families from Ar
kansas. Everyone furnished his own supplies. The
partv consisted of G9, including men,
women and children. Our teams were of
oxen, mules and horses. We had no cows,
as the later emigrants usually bad, and the
lack of milk was a great deprivation to
the children. It was understood that
everyone should haye not less than
a barrel of Hour with sugar and
so forth to suit; but I laid in 100 pounds of
flour more than the usual quantity, besides
other things. This I did because we were
fold that when we got into the mountains
we probably would get out of bread and
have to live on meat alone, which I thought
would kill me even if it did not others.
My gun was an old flint-lock rifle, but a
good one. Old hunters told me to have
nothing to do with cap or percussion locks,
that they were unreliable, and that if I got
my caps or percussion wet I could not shoot,
while if I lost my flint I could pick up
another on the plains. I doubt whether
there was 8100 in money in the whole party,
but all were enthusiastic and anxious to go.
EAVAGES OF THE HUM MOTH.
Bavarian Forests Attacked by the Pests and
Deitroj ed.
London News.! '
From various parts of Bavaria come
alarming news of the destructive ravages of
the nun moth. For a couple of centuries
or more the forests on the Continent have
'been attacked by these pests at long inter
vals; but never, it would seem, with more
disastrous results than at present. The forest
department of the Ministry oi Finance re
ports that the plague extends over nearly
all Bavaria south of the Danube, and so
great is the fertility of the insect that no
measures of destruction are of any avail. It
attacks chiefly the pine and fir with which
Bavarian forests abound, but does not de
spise the beech, oak and other forest trees,
and is even known to feed on shrubs and
garden plants. It never attacks corn or
wheat, and there is one tree it will not touch,
namely, the horse chestnut.
The' means of destruction are various.
Forest bonfires are one. The insects are at
tracted by the fire and are smotnered in the
smoke, but only a comparatively small
number are killed. Children and boys are
also sent out to destroy the insects. But
the only really efficient general measure
seems to be the cntting down of the whole
lorests when much infested.
WHAT THE WEST THINKS OF BLAfajE.
An Estimate of the American Statesman's
Character,
bait I.aVc Tribune.
James G. Blaine has a great many friends
and a few enemies in the United States.N
But there is one thing abont him that friends
and enemies both aree upon, and that is
that he has no equal as a speaker before the
American people. He is the most typical
American alive. He can out-talk any ten
other Americans, and he has a way ofcon
vincing people when he talks.
There is a charm about him which draws
men's hearts to him, and, while walking
and looking and talking like a King, there
is something in the soul of the man that
draws to him tbe hearts of all
who are bronght in close accord with
him. He is to the American people
what Henry Clay was CO years ago, and
it takes about 50 yean to produce
one such man. He will probably never be
PresidentVf the United States, but if be
never is he will pass into history in that au
gust company with Webster and Clay and
Calhoun and Wright and Clinton and a
whole array of other men, on the grave
stones of each one of whom shall be written:
"A great man was he, too great to ever be
President of the United States."
EXTEBinHATmG SEALS.
A Very Different Policy In Danish Wa ters
From That in Behring Sea.
Newcastle, En., Chronicle.
The seal is being rapidly exterminated in
Danish waters by direct encouragement of
the authorities. Rewards of .three kroner
for the head of each seal killed, paid by the
Fishing Society of Denmark,is leadingto the
energetic hunting and slaughter of these ani
mals. The reason for this course is that the
seals are alleged to destroy the fish.on which
so many of tbe population depend for food
and employment, and Dr. Fedderson, the
Secretary of the Fishing Society, has issued
a map showing those parts of tbe coast
where, owing to tbe prevalence of seals, the
fishing industry is rapidly decaying.
On the other hand,where seal hunting has
been most energetic, the catch of fish during
the past summer was much in excess of
former years, and fishermen are being en
couraged, by hope of reward as well as ap
peals to self-interest, to clear these animals
out of the Danish waters. So effective is
the appeal thus made that on the little
islandof Hessels alone nff less than 810 seals
have been destroyed within the ten-months
during which the reward has been paid.
A Whist Congress.
There is some talk of a whist congress to
revise the existing rales of whist and estab
lish an authoritative code of rales. The sub
ject has been more or less widely discussed
by the many whist clubs in New York, but
as yet no definite steps have been taken.
BRIDGING BEEPING.
Governor Gilpin's Scheme for a Kail- ?
road Through Alaska
TO CONNECT AblA. AND AMERICA...
A Tunnel More Feasible Than a Bridge U x
Cross the Straits.
THE NORTH AS A FARMING C0TJXTET-
Juneau, Alaska, November 1. The
project of ex-Governor Gilpin, of Colorado,
to build a line of railway through the wilds
of Alaska to Cape Prince of Wales, to con
nect with the Bussian railway system
through Siberia, thus linking the old and
new worlds with a railroad, is a feasible one,
and the future will see it accomplished.
But there is a giant obstacle in the way of
an unbroken line connecting the two worlds, -and
that is Behring Straits. Mr. Gilpin's
proposition is to bridge these straits, which
is all well enough in theory, but quite a
different thing in practice.
At considerable expense the straits can
undoubtedly be bridged, as an island lies
about midway between the Asiatic and"
American shores; the distance is not great
and the water is shallow the Government
charts showed the greatest depth to be only
32 fathoms. But could a bridge be built
high enough to allow towering icebergs to
pass under it, and with strength to with
stand the great ice floes that are yearly
swept down through the straits from the
Arctic Ocean?
1CEBEBOS AS OBSTACLE.
The current sweeps through the narrow
straits from one great sea into another very
swift and strong, and great icebergs would
be borne against the bridge, its piers and
abutments, with a force that neither steel
stringers nor mason work could withstand.
Captain Emery, of the United States ship
Thetis, stated that the only practical means
of crossing these straits at all seasons of ths
year is by tunneling under them.
The character of the coast line,
of Alaska is such that railway
building along it would encounter obstacles
almost as great as the ice floes iu Behring
Straits. The mountains are rugged and,
precipitous in the extreme; they break in
precipice sheer into the sea, and run back to
altitudes of from 60O to nearly 20,000 feet,
and the crest of the ranee is capped with
eternal snow and ice. Every canyon is an
inlet from tbe sea, which, octopus-like,
seems to cling with mighty arms to the
mountains for support.
These channels are navigable for the larg
est ships, aud, curious as it may seem, great
steamships
GLIDE UP THESE CANTOUS
with barely passage room on either side for
miles, and come to another directly under
the towering ice-capped peaks in the vety
heart of the coast range. AVhere the waters
ot the sea end iu these canous it comes in
the form of a glacier, with a surface like an'
angry sea and cracked in every direction.
Through the interior ot Alaska, rather
than alongr the coast, lies the route for Gov
ernor Gilpin's railroad, across the head
waters of the Stickeen and down the great
valley of the Yukon. In the main this
route would be through a rolling country
until the lower reaches of the Yukon were
reached, where the country becomes almost
flat, swampy aud frozen. The line would
tirobablv folluw the Yukon down aa far as
"Niclato, where it wonld leave the stream
and strike nearly due west in Cape Prince
of Wales. The resources of the country
that the lino would pass through have to be
learned and tested, but there is every
promise that it is rich in mineral and coal.
AS A FAP.MIKG COU2JTB.Y.
It is a fine grazing country, and from the -rolling
hills and prairies thousands of tons
of wild hay could be cut, and although the
summer season is short, stock raiding might
be made a profitable industry. The Yukon
and its tributaries swarm with salmon of
the finest quality, and a railroad would un
doubtedly open a great salmon fishing in
dustry. As to the country's agricultural
qualifications, this has vet to be proven, al
though at some of the posts along the river
fine gardens of vegetables have been raised.
Although the season for manufacturing
agricultural products is short in months, it
is very warm, and no little sunshine. Dur
ing the longest days of the year.tbe sun does
not set, and crops would mature rapidly.
Many miners who have spent both winter,
and summer in that section sav that vast
country has a great future before it, and
what it needs to open it and offer permanent
and profitable homes to thousands of Amer
ican people, is Governor.Gilpin's railroad.
