The disasters sustained by the Japan ese both on sea and land, last week, indicate that their commanders are be coming overly confident, or as the boys say "a little too gay." Admiral Togo sent part of his fleet in to tbe outer harbor of Post Arthur, where they were caught in a fog, dur • which one xmiiser was rammed by another and sank; and a splendid battle ship struck a mine and was sent to the bottom, as quickly as was the Russian battleship, with similar loss of life. On the land the Japanese General risked dividing his army—a most dangerons thing tp do—by attempting to send a column around the left flank of the Russian army, but it was discovered and driven back. Some of the accounts say that the Hatsuse, the Jap. battleship that wa3 lost, struck two floating mines, ten miles from the coast, which, if true, indicates that the Russians are disre garding international law. The sea is full of currents, and a mine let loose in it may be struck by any vessel a thous and miles away and ten years hence. People interested in U. S. Steel (some spell it steal) stock took a lively interest in young Rockfeller's visit to Pittsburg last week, and his inspection of the iron and steel mills there. The Rockfellers have been accumulating that stock and it is surmised that they are looking forward to the control of the company. An improvement in commercial con ditions is noted and a steady improve • ment is expected. It is trne that there have been a great Is . many men laid off in the last few months, and it ought to be remembered and taken to heart that most of these are the immigrants who have poured in upon ns in the last five years. They came when we were having boom times, b and now that there is a slack they are out of positions. Fortunately most of them are thrifty and at the worst can live on what the average American wastes. Still their presence has had great effect on the commercial condi tion of the country and will have much more in the future. POLITICAL. Returns received at Republican head quarters indicate that 708 of the 988 I delegates have already been instructed I < for Roosevelt. The" Republicans of 14 I states held their conventions, last week. I The Republican convention of Illinois I failed to agree upon a candidate for I Governor, last week, and adjourned K until next Tuesday, ft The fourteen Republican State Con —■■■ mi , held last week, completed the F Hat, and wound np the selection of delegates to the National Convention. Roosevelt will probably be nominated by acclamation, and as for the \ ice President it will probably be Fairbanks or Hitt, though some states have in . strncted for other men. There will be no trouble about tbe Platform' as most of the state resolu tions are of the "stand pat" order, even Nebraska, the home of Bryan, declares itself for the gold standard and a protective tariff, and "refuses to be P' • —' frightened at the schedules of a law the practical application of which has bronght such marvelous development. But while there was perfect unanim ity in all of the gatherings of the week in regard to national affairs, there was v a bolt in Wisconsin and a deadlock in Illinois over matters concerning the Governorship. In Wisconsin Governor La Follette insists on a third term. He has stirred np mnch strife in his party, and has the fiercest 'kind of opposition from the great section of it which follows Sena tor Spooner in political affairs. When La Follette through a subservient State Committee, threw out a large uumber of anti- Follette delegates Spooner and hia friends thought it just about time to bolt, and bolt they did. So there are * m now two Republican tickets in Wis consin, with bad blood enough to float a battleship, but both factions will sup port Roosevelt and the National ticket. That is a curious state of affairs in Illinois, where it has thus far been im possible either to renominate Governor Yates or defeat him . Fifty-eight bal. lots have been taken, and the Yates men hang together mnch as did the 300 who demanded a third term for Presi dent Grant Illinois is not in good shape for the Presidential battlo. As in the Wiscon sin case, care has been taken not to in volye the National ticket, and the con tention was hearty in its indorsement of Roosevelt and its espousal of the Vice Presidential candidacy of Congressman Hitt. Wisely all those matters were first attended to, thus leaving the way clear for the battle royal over the Gubernatorial nomination. Yates in sists upon another term, just ns La Fol lette does in Wisconsin, and there is a scattered majority against him. In sheer weariness the convention adjourn ed until the last day of May. Perhaps by that time some satisfactory arrange ment can be made. WAR NOTES. Last week was a bad one for the Japs. Two of their war vessels collided, dur ing a for, while close to Port Arthur, i and a cruiser sank; and a battle ship strnck a Russian mine aud sank in thirty minutes—a large number of of ficers and men went down with their ships. Besides this, the division that the Japanese General Kuroki had sent north, aronnd the left flank of the Rus sian army, was attacked by a superior force and compelled to retreat to the main army. The reports of a great land battle at Port Arthnr, sent out Tuesday, were untrue, bat the Japs seem to be making ready to reduce the Port by a regular | siege. Yesterday heavy siege guns were being landed on the peninsula. Brown sclttle. There will be a Festival at the U. P. church, Jnne Ist and 2d. f Mr. and Mrs. L. S.

Henry Morton Stanley. Following the lead of Livingstone, in relieving whom he first? started to explore the "dark continent in lsTl, Stanley spent the best years of his life traveling through tropical jangles and tracing out hikes and rivers in the very heart of Africa, and to him is due the credit for solving her most puzzling geographical problems- Stanley's life history reads like a romance. Born of Welsh pareniage in 1841. his father, John Rowlands, dying when he was but two years old, the lad took to the at the age of sixteen, and worked his passage on a sailing vessel to New Orleans. Here he ob tained employment from n merchant named Stanley, who befriended him, and whose name young Rowlands as sumed in recognition of many benefac tions. When the civil war occurred, he enlisted in the Confederate army, and he was taken prisoner at the battle of Shiloh He escaped, however, and re i turned to his Welsh home. The next year (1863) he returned to America, and ! joined the Federal navy. He served on the flagship "Ticonderoga, " soon attain ing the position of secretary to the ad miral, and afterward, on account of great gallantry in swimming 500 yards under fire and fixing a line to a Confed erate steamer, he was ma'de an officer. After the war he left the navy, and en gaged in work as a newspaper corres pondent. In 1868 he accompanied the British expedition to Abyssinia under Sir Robert Napier, acting as corres pondent of the New York Herald. The following year the same newspaper sent Stanley on a trip through various coun tries of the East, and in February, 1871, he left Zanzibar with two hundred men in search of Livingstone. On NovemVr 10 of that same year, he found Living stone at Ujiji, or. Lake Tanganyika, in an almost helpless condition. After nursing him back to health, and mat some explorations with him around the northern end of the lake, Stanley re turned to Europe the following year. In 1873 he went to West Africa, to re port the campaign against the Ashantis. The death of Livingstone in Africa on May 1, 1873, and the interment of bis remains in Westminster Abbey in April of tbe following .year, made Stanley once more eagar to attack the problems of the "dark continent." He was again sent out by the New York Herald and the London Daild Telegraph, and he left Bagamoyo, near Zanzibar, with 3">6 men (including three white men) on November 12, 1874. 'the first great work he accomplished was a boat^su rvey of the shores of the Victoria Nyanza. Following this he discovered Lake Al bert Edward, and found it to be one of the head reservoirs of the Nile. He also found the Kagera, or Alexandra Nile, to be the main source of supply of Vic toria Nyanza In 1870 he sought in vain the outlet of Lake Tanganyika, as the level of this lake was then too low for water to flow through its outlet, the Lukuga, into the Congo. Although the expedition was greatly depleted by fever and smallpox, tbe intrepid Stanley traveled westward to Nyangwe on the Lualaba, which Livingstone and Cam eron had visited before, and then lie de termined to follow the riyer to its mouth. Fighting his way westward through tribes of ferocious cannibals, he succeeded in making the 1,500-mile trip on the river which, upon his arrival at Boma, August!), 1877, he found to be the Congo. This was Stanley's greatest discovery, for he proved thar the Lna laba and the Congo were one. The journey, cost him his three white com panions and 170 porters, and he was ex actly 999 days from the time he left Bagamoyo until he reached Boma Early in 1879 Stanley again went to Africa, this time for the purpose of fonndiDg the Congo Free State, making treaties with the natives and planting stations on the Congo from Vivi to Stanley Falls, about 1,300 miles up the river. Stanley remained five years in Afri ca this time, in order to accomplish his mission. He made treaties with 450 native chiefs, and in order to reach the upper part of the river, his native por ters had to carry all his supplies and steamboats in sections for 235 ini'es around the rapids. The great explorer made his final crossing of Africa during the two years from 1887 to 1889. This time ho con ducted an expedition in aid of Einin Pasha, the Governor of the Egyptian Soudan, who had been cut off by upris ings of the natives from communica tion with the civilized world. Ascend ing the Congo as far as its tributary, the Aruwimi, Stanley followed this riv er to its source, and then cnt his way for months through well-nigh intermin able tropical forests to the Albert Ny anza, which he finally reached Decem ber 13, nine months from the time he started. So hard had been the journey that 215 out of 389 natives that besan it with Stanley perished on the way, while the 174 that were left wore mere skele tons. In" April, 1898. Emin Pasha ap peared at Stanley's camp on the shore of Albert Nyanza. The explorer then retraced his steps through the great forest, in order to bring back from the head of navigation of the Aruwimi, a detachment of men be had left there. Taking with him the few he found aliue, he fought his wty through the 250 miles of jungles for the third time, and again joined Emin Pasha in Janu ary, 1889, and conducted him to Zanzi bar. In this expidition Stanley made his second journey "across the continent,, and, besides discovering the extent of the great forest, the water connection between Lake Albert Edward and Al - Nyanza, and the snow-capped llu wenzori mountain chain that separates them, he accomplished the main pur pose of his expeditition —the ttndiug of Emin Pasbif. Stanley's success natives in Africa was largely due to his patience, kindness, and tact. On account of these qualities, he was able to inspire confidence and win friendship rapidly. His planting of colonies on the Congo, and opening of this great highway to trade, was one of his greatest achieve ments, while the previous tracing qf this great river from its seource to itV mouth—which is graphically described in "Through the Dark Continent" — was undoubtedly his greatest. The findiug of Euiin Pasha terminated his life of exploration. After returning to England of which country he became a naturalized citizen iu 1892, he was made a Knight, and he devoted his time to writing of his travels. "In Darkest Africa." "My Dark Compan ions." and "Through Si.uth Africa" are the titles of some of his best-known later works.

The first tram left the Allegheny station at 10 40 a. m. It held 189 boys and girls, and to it was attached a privata car containing a jelly crowd including C. L Taylor, wife and daughter, Lillian: after whom the Home is named. At 1.15 P. M. an other train, containing the Boys' Bri gade. and a party of men and women left for the Home. From the time of the arrival nutil the last train left for the city, there were games, frequent lunches and "sporting events The latter included a baseball game in which Judge Buflington, held down third for the "Collegians, and a one-legged pupil at the Kingsley house pitched for the opposing nine. The game was highly exciting especially when Judge Buflington muffed and was compelled to chase down hill and the one-legged fellow slid for base. Young Reed made a champion catcher. Guf fey played second f.nd Oau3 held clown first. The best memory for figures was unable to repeat the score two minates after the negro umpire declared a vic tory.
