In the West Africa Congo conference now
assembled at Berlin, supervised by Prince
Bismarck. Great Britain's representative,
under instructions from Premier Gladstone,
refused 10 concede that Britain's right of
control over the river Niger, was an open
question. The Niger is divided into three
sections. upper, middle and lower Great
Britain asserts control over the lower section,
which is the most portant and practically
embraces the whole river. Among other
claims 10 contest is asserted the right Of dis
covery.
Henry NJ Stanley the explorer made
noteworthy speech before the committee Of
the Congo Conference in behalf Of America.
He explained with remarkable clearness, and
force the views which he entertains regard
lug the difference between the geographical
and commercial basin Of the Congo. The
two conceptions, he insisted, were by no
means identical. II the Powers adopted on
ly the former, and based all their action upon
that, they would deprive the Upper Congo Of
its natural and necessary outlet. This out
let should, in his opinion. comprise all the
affluents Of the Congo, and also the basins of
several other great rivers and lakes. 1t
would be absurd to accept the geographical
basin of the Congo merely as the subject for
their discussion and regulation, because the
rapids rendered the Congo impracticable as
an exclusive trade route TO the Upper river.
Because Of the rapids divergent channels of
trade must be made available. The COM
mercial conception Of the Congo basin must
be adopted.
The conception implied great stretch Of
the Western Littoral, comprised all the center
Of Africa, and extended even TO the eastern
coast.
The Cologne Gazette publishes the text Of
Germany's proposals regarding the Congo in
the following terms:
''THE delegates Of fifteen states, including
America have agreed TO the following declara-
ton: In the religious forming the basin OF the
Congo and its tributaries. the limits OF which
the conference will fix. there shall be perfectly
free trade for all nations. Commodities shall be
imported and exported free OF duty, except such
as shall be necessary in general trade. The
Powers exercising sovereign rights in the Congo
regions are forbidden TO exercise monopolies or
fayors of any kind in regard to trade. Foreign
ers are TO enjoy without distinction the same
treatment and the same rights as citizens of a
sovereign state. AL the Powers exercising
sovereign rights shall bind themselves 10 CO.
operate in the endeavor to suppress slavery and
TO promote the work of missions and all institu-
tons which tend TO the civilization OF the
natives.''

The Queer Freak of an Electric Ligb

CINCINNATI, Nov. 26.-Joe. Shillito, one
Of the employees Of the Brush Electric COM
pany, and fellow workman had run & line
across Pine street TO Binigheimer's bowling al
ley just above thirteenth yesterday, and
the former was about to make connection
when an accident occurred. While thus en-
gagged Shillito stood on a large cornice about
twenty-five feet above the pavement As is
the custom with all the electric light men he
wore gloves made OF rubber, which is
noneOnductOr. No sooner did he
take hold of the conductor with
his left hand than a current ran through it,
actually drawing him uD. legs and all, and
almost doubling up his body Then he was
thrown back, and in falling he struck the
awning, breaking two of the iron supporters.
He landed on the sidewalk, striking on
his head and side. He had a cash
on the head, which was found to extend no
further than the scalp, aud bruised on the
hip, right arm and several places on the
body. In the glove on his left hand was
hole which was burned through. The wire
had burned the hand badly and gone clear to
the bone of the fingers. There must have
been small hole in the glove, which Shillto
did not know, and through this the current
reached his skin as soon as he seized the
conductor.
Joe, who Yves formerly a member of Gifts
hre company, says he felt the shock as soon
as he took hold of the conductor and saw a
blue fame. The feeling was as if
he were suddenly being pulled to pieces He

recover them until he struck the ground. 1t
was lucky thing he struck the awning, as it
broke the fall. Joe says he can'tsee how twas
it didn't kill him outright. He had been
working all the morning at Mabley IL
Carene's building and handled live lines with
the same glove, an he had no idea there
was hole in the glove. He will be confined
to his bed for some time.

lSfNNA~4 ANANH ~ NHc 0AObc-t
NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Stocks opened
buoyant, with sales Of Northwestern at 92c
and st. Paul at TSJ<c. Erie second bonds
were rushed up to about SIC and so on
throughout the list. Business centered
chiefly in about half a dozen properties.
There was plenty of activity during the
morning hours. The advance was sufficiently
tempting to bring out considerable stock,
and the market reacted frequently. The
earnings Of the Northwestern made their ap-
pearance early, showing a decrease for the
third week in November of
only $4,000. 1t is expected that
the fourth week will be still
more encouraging. There was a big trade
in Northern Pacific preferred, and it acted
much better than on yesterday. 1t is thought
the present advance is caused largely by
short purchases, intermingled with some
good buying for long account, although there
is nothing in the general railroad situation
to warrant such rise. The passenger rate
war is going on as fercely as ever, in spite
ofthe rumors to the contrary; and it was
given out that another cut of rates was i'm
minent unless something should
interfere in the meantime to stop
it. Erie officials claim the West
Shore has been selling tickets to Chicago for
IS on the sly, and tpat all roads, except the
Pennsylvania, woulS 60 under that figure a
good ways If this und srselIing was not dis
continued Immediately Unfavorable Iegis-
lation is expected al Washington this winter
toward all Pacific roads, and hence Union
Pacific and others continue weak. The Van
derbilt party said that room traders were
putting stocks up, and the traders on the
other hand said that Vanderbilt was in the
ring. One good reason for the rise is the
undoubted scarcity of stocks now
in the market, but Deacon
White is said to have sold calls on
Lackawanna at S1.1O for the balance of the
week. An English syndicate is said to have
bought 10, 900 shares OF Canadian Pacific
stock recently, and the earnings OF that road
$40, 000. Woerschoffer said he was not
bull on the situation, but was doing little
at present. The boom in Erie seconds is
caused Dy ''new deal'' in the management
of that road. Some holders of those bonds
think they might have had their last dlyi-
dend, which was defaulted. If the company
had kept its money out of the way
OF Grant & Ward, as the last
statement shows, money enough was earned
by the road to meet it, had the money been
locked up or put aside. By . o'clock the
market was enjoying first class boom all
along the line. The shorts had their hands
full aud were covering about everything on
the list The bulls had the railroad troubles
all settled, aud talked very confidently of
still further improvement in the YanderbiIts
Both Central * Hudson and Lake Shore were
strong features at the finish, particularly the
latter. The market closed rampant, with
much excitement, and apparently not stocks
enough to go around.

New YOrk's Next Senator.

ALBANY. n. T., Nov. Enthusiastically a
Republican politician appears here among
the Democrats, who are coming and going
with nearly every train. Lou" Z. Payu,
Of Columbia City, was here last evening. He
is usually informed about what the machine
men intend to do, although he has less 10
say than he formerly did about matters. To
question about the outlook for the United
States senstorship, he replied that he did not
see the way as clearly this year as it has
sometimes appeared.
''Mr. Morton, as understand it." said
he, sis not a candidate in the sense of
being willing to make a con-
test. He has gene back to France.
II he did not leave Instructions with half a
dozen or so of his strongest friends to make
canvass of the Republican members of the
legislature, would infer that he did not ex-
pect to be senator Chauncey NJ. Depew
as we could find. His nearest
friends say he win not consent
to have his name used. He has large
salary, and is second vice president Of the
Of the New York Central road. This brings
him near the presidency Of the company,
and am inclined to think that he is ambl-
tious to be promoted to that Office. All this
he would have to give up If he became
senator. Mr.. Arthur would no doubt
accept If the Office were offered to him
unanimously and without any contest, but
there viii be no unanimous nomination In

The Seligman famil y have long been
stanch supporters of the Republican party,
and have aided the cause both by their influ-
ence and by liberal contributions. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that the following
letter addressed TO the chairman of the stock

coming as it does from prominent member
of the family, created considerable comment
and will give an idea of the diafTecton
which exists in the Republican ranks in New
