News from the Livingston ExpedI-
fiOn


At a meeting of the Royal Geo.
graphical Society of England, held in
London on the 18th ultimo, SIR ROD
ERICK MURGHIsoN presiding, he stated
thatthe expeditionary party in search
Of DR.. LIVINGSTON, headed by Mr..
You've, while at the Cape of Good
Hope received great assistance from
the authorities, obtaining a whale
boat for the carriage of his stores,
and the addition Of two native Afri-
cans to his party, one of whom could
speak the Zulu language, and would
be most useful as an interpreter when
the expedition arrived at the head of
Lake Nyassa. The boating party
made very quick voyage from the
Cape to the Congoni entrance of the
Zambesi, accomplishing the distance
in nine and a half days; and, after
obtaining a negro crew, departed on
the 27sh of July up stream on their
ventursome errand. Sir RoDERIcK
further said:
g have so often explained to you
the cause of my scepticism on the
painful subject of the reported death
of DIR. Livingston, produced chiefly
by my estimate of the mendacious
character of the only man who saws
he witnessed the catastrophe, and
also from that person having given
two accounts Of it. the one entirely
contradicting the other, that [ am
sure you feel with me ii was due to
the reputation of our body that we
should not attach credence to such a
story, and that we should wait until
some valid proof of the death of my
illustrious friend had been obtained.
[, therefore, repeat what said when
the expedition left our shores. that
we must abide patiently till the
secOnd-perhaps the third-month of
the coming year, when Mr.. Young's
party, having returned from the upper
end of Lake Nyassa, shall have set our
painful suspense at rest. IF we should
then happily learn that Livingston
was not killed at the spot mentioned.
but had passed on into the interior.

Oldck uleH On y NWnlcn was the case

his earliest great discoveries [ have
such faith in his unyielding energies
and never-faiiing resources - that
though he may have had no means of
communicating with the coast, he
may, after an interval of year or
more, reappear and rejoice Us with anNI
account or his explorations to and
beyond the Lake Tanganyika.
The above Is all we fnd in our for
eign exchanges concerning the rumor
that DR.. LIVINGSTON is still alive, and
wish that, with the same evidence
which seems to satisfy Sir RoDERIcK
MURcHIsoN of the Doctors safety, |
we could assure ourselves of its proba-
billy.

REAR ADMIRAL JOHN DRAKE
SLoAT, recently died at his residence
on Staten Island, in the eighty-sev-
enth year of his age. He was one of
the few survivors of the old school Of
officers who lent lustre to the service
in the early days of the Republic, and
who maintained the honor of the flag
afoat and ashore for nearly three
quarters of century. Born in 1880
he entered the navy as Sailing Mas
ter. February II. 1900, but the next
year, owing to a reduction of the ma
val force. was mustered out. At the
beginning of the war of 1872, he was
reappointed Master in the regular ma
Wy, and continued in the service du-
ring the rest of his life. He served
with credit in the war Of 1912, was
subsequently promoted, and held va
rious commands, his last active sea
service being as commander of the
Pacific Squadron in 1915, after which
he was engaged in navy yard and spe-
cial duty till 1856, when be was placed
on the retired list. He possessed
many fine qualities of head and heart,
and made friends wherever he was
known.

Editorial Notes.

ONE OF the most important railroad
enterprisesin the country-the build
ing of road from Lawrence, Kansas,
to Galveston, Texas-has begun. The
first section of the road from
Lawrence to Ottawa, thirty miles.
will be completed by the end of the
present year The completion of this
road will make Galveston one of
the most important cities on the sea-
coast. A large portion Of the pro-
duce of the Northwest, instead of 60
ing across the continent to Eastern
cities, will take this short and direct
route to Galveston, where it will con-
meet with the commerce of the world.
Fhe saving in time, transportation,
and cost by this route will be i'm

bring their goods to Galveston, which
can then be carried by one sweep,
and in short time, to the cities on the
Missouri River, and to all the coun-
try from thence to the Rocky Noun

WE regret to learn, tbat-Mr. A. J..
FLETCHER, who for some time was a
resident of eur city, and is now Sec :
rotary of the State of Tennessee, is
playing the part of a disorganizer
among the Union men of that State.
Why Mr.. FLETCHER should seek to
prescribe Northern men we cannot
imagine. We happen to know that it
was Northern men that drove the
rebels, out Of his State al a time when
he was enjoying the hospitality and
assistance of Northern men in a
Northern State. 1t certainly comes
with i'll grace from him to find fault
with Northern men, or seek to pro-
scribe them. The only result of his
operations will be split in the Re
publican party, and the success of the
very element which drove him cut of
Tennessee aud held possession Of the
State until it, in turn, was driven out
bye NorthernI men. We trust Mr..
FLETCHER will act more, wisely, and
dc nothing that has a tendency to
create disafeetion among the Repub-
licansgot his State. .<.t; Eft i
