CURRENT EVENTS.
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.

Stanley's Life Work
Word lias been received from England
of the death on May 10 of that great
African explorer and colonizer. 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. Sir Henry married M®s
Tennaut, the artist, in 1890,
A movement is on foot to inter the
body of the great explorer beside that
of Livingstone iu Westminister Ab'n-y,
and it seems to us that no more fitting
place could be fonnij than one bo.-ide
the first great African missionary and
explorer, whose work Stanley so large
ly completed.—Sci. Am.
Two hundred years ago this month the
first newspaper was established in the
United States. At that time there was
, no religions liberty, DO freedom of
speech and no joy that wae not a Sin.
Popular education was nnknown, nn<t
. there wa? no hamlet that did not con
tain a witch and no grove that did not
have its hobgoblin. Iu Massachusetts
it was then a capital offense to worship
in accordianee with the rites of the
' Catholic church, and nono but members
. of the established church could hold
office. Everybody had to confess be
fore congregations, and persons who
did not attend church were liable to a
fine. It was also a misdemeanor for
children to play, or grown people to
i ride, on Sunday. Those were tbe days
j of fanatism and bigotry, which passed
; under the name of religion. Who will
donbt that there is not vastly more
genuine religion now lhau tb< n? That
free speech aud a free press is almost
wholly responsible for the improvement,
is likewise indisputable.--Spirit,
First Excursion t<> Lillian Homo,
The first excursion lrom the city to
Lillian Home at Valencia occurred last
Saturday and it was enjoyed by nearly
three hundred children. 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. The boys ran races, the girls
swung and the ladies looked on with
pleasure. •
Lillian house will lie opened for per
manent "guests" Jane 1, when mothers
in need of fresh air, and the kindergar
ten classes of the association will be
brought out. In July the_ regular
school children will be taken in relays
of 150 at a time for a two weeks' stay. ■
Since last year two dormitories have
been added and a number of private
rooms for mothers built, so that the ca
pacity is now about 105. The dining
rooms also have been enlarged, an out
residence bnilt for the headkeeper and
many otb»r improvements made.
The home now owns 90 acres. A
swimming pond will soon l>e built.
Mrs. H. G. Moore, under the direction
of Mr. Matthews, has charge of the
housekeeping. Last year oyer :i.0«>«»
children were taken care of and the
number will probably be doubled this
summer.
