Tine Riches of Africa;

Setting aside the contributions of our expedition to geography, the grandest dis: cOvery it has made is the great tieid for trade it has opened to the world. especially to tlTe English, French, Germans and Ame- rirans, the English especially, far greater attention to those fabrics and wares gene al- ly purchased by Africans on the West Coast. l round numbers-I shall have thrown o Jcn to commerce an area embracing over six hundred thousand square miles, winch Contains nearly two thousand miles of an uninterrupted course of water communica- tiOn, divided among the Upper Congo and its magnificent affluents. It will take 8 long time to make up my map, but pro- mise you rough sketch of the unknown half of Africa, now revealed for the first time, and you will find that in this brief letter 1 am underestfmating the merits of this new field for commerce. I will show you, when have had time to arrange my notes, how near we are to extensive gold and copper fields, and what products mer-: chants may expect in return f,r their fs-' brics.--[Cor. of H. N.

Don't Take sides.

Arizona's policy is to avoid talk
 ing sides in any railroad quarrel
 With San Diego, Tom Scott i:
 "Hobsbn's choice"-that or nOth
 ing. We all want a competing Toad but this will never be bull
 on the B parallel route; the Gils valley will never know mOr, thar one rod. If the route is giveT wholly to Scott he can never build it until he can restore his credit b. paying off part of the immense debts Of his 6600 miles of eastern roads. Life is Father short for that. That the nation will put up money emo Igh to build the whole road for him, Is d childish delusiOn. The nation has done that thing once: ScOtt's friends hlve been the
 
 lOudest ill denouncing that folly and his enemies will be "patriOtlc" enough to prevent its repetition in his favor. If the route Is given wholly to Stanford, 1t is foolish to suppose that he W Il want to build ro..d to compete with the Cen- tral Pacific. Not much. All he wants is to keep any 0 .e else from 0 cupyi g the ,oute and cOmpet- iLg WI,h hIm. II to do this he i, forced 10 build the road himself, he will do 50; but not ii it can De avoid, d. Twenty years rom LOW Is t..e time to which the Central Pacific people look forward f,r wanting to use this route. By that time their snow sheds, tres. ties and road bed will be pretty we'll used up; some li, tie bond- will be due and payable with their accumulated interest the land grant will be in the hands of inno- cent purchasers. Then if the nt,= tiOn wants 10 foreclose and take the Central Pacific Tor its debts, Sanford i- willing. He can then "eOmpete" over the cheaper ana easier Southern Pacific. If the Central is sold by the nation, he can bid it in for one-twentieth nl the money it would cost him to pay its honest deb;S, and run ii for local traffic only. Ii Arizona hl- any influence in the matter, 1t should be used in favor of d meas ure providing ample assistance per mile to Scott; to StlniOru nothing but right Of way to meet Il III Scott needS help, the other don't. Each would th n nearly break his neck to build r.,ad rap i fly The longer his par, of the road, the larger percentage would he receive of through fr. ighI money. We would then seea arv airy like that between the Gen. iral and Union Pacific, while they ere being made. thus woul the road be built quickly. But II either one gets the whole route, Arizona will see little of this road for years to come. Our true policy is to help both.

Tho New York Elevated Rail-
rOn(l,

New YoRK, November 10.-The legal
impediments to the expansion Of the
New York Elevated Railroad having
been removed, the company now propose
vigorous and uninterrupted work. Al
ready they have arranged to lay double
track on the west side, and the prepara.
tions on the east side are in active pro.
gress. Every effort will be made to com.
plete all the foundations for the iron sup.
ports before frosty weather sets in. In
order 10 hasten the work over one hun.
dred extra men were yesterday added to
the large force already on hand. The
additional workmen were already placed
on the excavations on Front street and
COenties slip. Other large gangs were
yesterday engaged on Greenwich street
and in the vicinity OF Central Park.
On the Weat side about two miles Of the
double track have been completed, and II
is expected that the remainder Of the
distance-from the Battery to Sixty
seventh street-can be finished before the
lst OF January next The double tracks
will greatly facilitate the business OF the
\ road, doing away as they will with the
necessity Of switch "turnouts," thus per.
mittiug trains to run up and down stimuli
taneously. More trains can in conse-
quence be run, aud the new timetable
will show such increased accom- noda,ionl
that the time lost In waiting" will bt
reduced 10 u minimum.

JACKSON, November 1O.-The seizure
Of log lumber and turpentine in the Mis-
s:ssiPpi river by Special Agent Carter, Of
the Interior Department, has suddenly
come to an end. ItSeems that the sweep.
ing indiscriminate seizures made at Pas.
cagoula BY the Deputy q. s. Marshal, by
virtue Of writ Of sequestration sued out
BY Special Agent Carter, turns out to be
illegal.
Major Thomas II. Price, Of the Mobile
bar, representing the victims, argued the
motion to-day 10 quash the writ before
the 8. Circuit Court, Judge Hill pre-.
siding, on the ground that the writ was
unconstitutional and not a due process OF
law.
The Judge sustained tho motion and
ordered the Deputy 8arshal a. Pasca.
gonla TO release the property.
This decision gives great relief TO q
large community in Southern Mississippi
who have been greatly damaged already
BY the wholesale seizures, which In effect
crushed the guilty and innocent together.

Trouble KIth aiIners.

DEADwooD, D. T., November 1906
Thursday the miners employed at the
Keetg mine, under contractor Contee
took torcible possession Of the mine OF
account Of the non.payment Of theil
wagea by the contractor. The miner
are still Of possession, having resisted The
Sheriff successfully and refused n com
promise Of any kind except full and
complete settlement Of their claims. They
are securely fortified, we'll armed and
proyisioned to stand months aiege
The citizens Of Central City, near The
mine, are in sympathy with the miners
and it Is feared that blood will be shed
before settlement can be obtained. Al
six o'clock this evening the miners issued
a printed circular, invoking public sym.
pathy in their behalf and explaining
their position, which is briefly that The
contractor owes them S2,5O0 for labor
the contractor will not pay them, and
they hold the mine for the same. Con-
siderable excitement exists over the situ-
alton, which is the main topic Of conVer-
sation throughout the gulch.

Ia connection with this speech the re-
cent announcement by the leading con-
Retyative newspaper Of England, 10 the
effect that an unpleasant surprise may
possibly be in store for The governments
concerned in peaceful settlement Of the
Eastern question, becomes plain enough.
In the announcement referred to Il was
pointed out that Turkey has no longer
any reason for considering the interests
ofsaid governments, or regarding any
considerations other than iB own press
Ing needs. 1t had been led to suppose
that England, at least would not
permit Russia to cross the Danube
Wiihon! an energetic protest II nothing
further; and that Austria would refuse
permission Tor Roumania to take an &c.
tive part in the contest. But Russia has
gone wherever 1t could mako It's own
way, without word Of remonstrance
from England, aud even the crossing Of
the Balkans and the threatened march on
Adrianople and Constantinople dsyel.
oped no serious opposition; whilst Aus.
triA looks calmly OH at the RoumGnian
attacks on Plevna and at the massing Of
servian forces on the Turkish border with
the aVowcd intention Of crossing TO the as.
PiS!ance Of Russia il required. But for the
belief, iustiIled by the declarations and in.
tinations Of those governments, that Rus.
'ia would not be permitted to 20 to the
lengths it has already reached, Turkey
would scarcely have engaged in the war,
but it now has good reaaon for suspect
ing that Russia will not be seriously in.
terIered with, no matter how far it may
choose to pursue its advantage over the
Turks. In this condition Of affairs Tur.
key would be justified In looking out for
its own interests alone, and in bringing
the war to sudden close, in Gaze Of a
disaster at Plevna or on tho LON like
that in Armenia, by treaty of peace with
Russia without the assistance of the
other Powers, in which the material ad.
yantuges demanded by Russia would be
conceded in return ior the guarantee Of
the independence OF Turkey. 10 such
treaty Of peace the chief points would be
the freedom Of the Black Sea, the Bos.
phorus, and the Dardanelles 10 Russian
war vessels the same as Turkish vessels,
in return for the guaranteed indepeud.
enre Of Turkey and the continued integ.
rity of her territory.
1t is the possible imminence Of some
such denouement as this that Ia now
exercialng the minds of the Euglish min
is:ry, and that has called out Disraeli's
remarkable speech.

WASHINGTON, November 10.
AT 1925 the House went into Commit
tee Of the Whole, Mr.. Cox, Of New York
in the chair, on the Army Appropriation
Bill, the pending amendment being thai
offered by Mr.. Crittenden limiting the re
ctuiting in the cavalry and infantry L
the number in service on the 1st inst.
Mr.. Crittendens amendment was re
iected by l04 10 III.
An amendment offered by Mr.. Hooker
prohibiting the use Of troops to suppres!
insurrection or preserve order in any
State, except on demand Of the Legisla
ture or Executive, has given rise 10 ar
animated discussion, Mr.. Garfield leading
the opposition, and pointing out the dan
ger Of having such q law on the statute
book as would have, in 1861, tied tht
hands Of the President, and wrought tht
destruction of the Government.
Mr.. Culberson offered an amendment
that four cavalry regiments be recruited
to 100 men in each company, which force
shall be employed in the defense Of the
Mexican and Indian frontiers Of Texas
Adopted-1l4 to 1l2-aiter being amend
ed, on motion Of Mr.. Clymer, thus
"That the recruiting of enlisted men bt
limited 10 10000, Of which four full regi
ments Of cavalry shall be kept upon the
Mexican frontier"
Mr.. Rockers amendment was rejected
-137 to 3s.
The bill then passed through the Com
mittee Of the Whole, and Is before the
House for action.
After considerable discussion, which
showed that the Southern members in
general trusted President Hayes, Mr.
Mills remarkins that although he had
not been elected by the people, he wa;
the best man who had occupied the Office
for twenty-five years, q vote was taken by
tellers on the amendment. Thirty.eighi
Democratic members voted for it, and
then the Republicans withheld their
votes until the rest Of the Democrats
voted against it, when they also voted,
makinga negative vote OF III.
Mr.. Hooker expressed the hope that
his friends on the other side would act on
the suggestion Of Mr.. Conger and allow a
vote OF yeas and nays in the House to
this proposition.
There was q jubilant shout of "agreed"
on the Republican side, but Mr.. Eden
interposed an nobjection.
Mr.. Atkins then offered an amendmen.
as an additional section, providing that
officers assigned to staff duty shall not be
entitled to additionalrauk or pay. Agreed
to.
The committee rose and reported the
bill, but 1t was found that the amend.
ments agreed TO in the committee con.
aicted, and, as it requires time to
straightcn them out, the House adjourn
