marketable People ~ the Congo
Basin.
BosToN, Oct. ga letter from Henry M
Stanley, dated July 14th at Stanley Pool,
Congo River, says: "Since arrived on the
Congo last December, l have been up as far
as the Equator and established two more
stations, and besides discovering another
lake, Mantumba, have explored for hun
bred miles river known on my map as
Ikclembu but which is really the Malundu.
1t is q stream the size of the Arkansas and
very navigablc. The big stream which ex-
pect must drain the longest part OF the south
Congo Basin must be higher up. Having
become better acquainted with the country l
am struck with the dense population OF the
equatorial part of the basin, which II uni
form throughout would give 40, coo, 900. The
number of products and the character of the
people are likewise remarkable. Gums, rub
Der, ivory, camphorIwood and host of
other things would repay transportation even
by the very expensive mode at present in
use. The people are born traders and for are
Africans very enterprising and industrious. ="
Stanley tells of his mediation between two
tribes who were at war and who when peace
was brought about by his efforts elected him
"father and mother" o ftheir country, dis
tinction he received from another large tribe.
Stanley enjoys most robust health.

How Public Lands In the Territories
Have Keen Grabbed by 'Big swear
ing.1
SALT LAKE, Oct. 7.-Col Tullis, the spec
ial agent investigating land frauds in the ter
ritories, says there has been some big swear
ing by witnesses in some of the land offices
and large tracts have been patented by per-
sons who have not complied with the law.
The desert land entry act has been violated
with q recklessness that is positively aston
ishng. In many cases nothing has been
done toward retaining the lands and yet
what are regarded as good citizens have
gone before the land officers and
made oath that the land had been
reclaimed and all the conditions of the law
complied with. Some tracts have been taken
up under the de ert act that are no more
desert than the valley Of the Ohio. Other
lands have been Illegally taken up under the
timber culture act Thousands OF acres have
been patented under the homestead act by
persons who have not complied with single
requirement OF the law, fraudulent testimony
having been given. Tens Of thousands OF
acres Of public lands have been fenced Oh by
wealthy stock rasers leaving the actual set
tiers without range for family COW. In
one instance men living near city in Mon.
tana had fenced up 5000 acres OF public
lands and permitted town people to pasture
stock for dollar month per head.
