OLD WORLD NEWS.
The Congo Conference the Prevailing
Question of Discussion in
the East.
THE UNITED KINGDOM.

LONDON, Dec. s.-A Berlin correspondent {
of the daily Ne'cs says he has good authority
for stating that England's convention with
the African International association will be
ratified within few dsys. Henry
NJ Stanley's visit to London had
reference 10 this subject. Baron De
Courcel, the French delegate, presided at a
meeting of the committee OF the Congo con-
ference Saturday. Several technical dele
gates gave their opinions, and the discussion
lasted five hours. When the articles Of the
report was reached, further discussion there
upon was adjourned till Monday. The re-
port debated by all as applying only to the
Congo. The Niger was reserved for sepa-
rate discussion. Most OF the mem
bers OF the conference were present. E.
Baron De Courcel made q forcible attack
upon Gen. Sanford's railway scheme, in the
course Of which he said the conference had
no power to grant concessions. Gen. San
ford was aroused by this and indignantly ex-
pressed the hope that DO one suspected him
of being personally interested. Baron Lamb
Lamont Of Belgium, supported
FGen. Sanford, but as Baron
De Courcel and other delegates
] SLdltu lncy Dau no instructions
to act in this matter and that IL would have
TO be postponed, Gen. Ssnford's protest
fell through. The full conference will meet
Tuesday 10 receive the report Of the COM
miltee.
GLASGOW, Dec. S.-Lord Roseberry pre-
sided over and Stanley delivered the inaugu-
raj address to the Scottish Geographical
society tonight. Stanley dwelt upon the
great Importance of the Congo country TO
Great Britain as an outlet for trade When
most nations are adopting protection
measures, this sphere OF usefulness, he
said, will be found in the Congo
country, where the African international
association is promoting free trade and en-
terprise. The settlement of disputed oues-
tions of trade, irrespective Of nationality,
bad already secured a revenue to carry out
the work. Lord Roseberry, in the course Of
humorous speech, said II the African Inter
national association was prepared to do all
that Stanley announced, there was no reason
why il should not be England's duty, not
only 10 annex the Congo country, but con-
solidate the govern ment, in order TO watch
over and encourage peaceful extension OF
commerce and civilization in the manner
which Stanley had so eloeuently announced

GERMANY.

BERLIN, Dec. s.-The Congo committee
has agreed that the African international as
sociation shall have control only over the
navigation of the Congo river. That Eng
land shall have control of the navigation
Of lower and France control the upper Niger
river. England and France bound them
selves by formal declaration TO uphold the
freedom Of navigation. Any other power
which may acquire territory in that country
viii be required to undertake similar obli-
CATION. The discussion in the English, Ameri-
can, German and Belgium neutrality proposals
are unfinished. At SATURDAYS sitting the
committee expunged Gen. Sanford's clause
by formal vote. Germany approved the
proposal, but the general impression of the
committee was concession would have been
entirely in favor of the African international
association. The clause proposing the in
ternational commissioner 10 act independ.
emily OF territorial authority was rejected. A
proposal that only harbor pilotage duties be
levied upon ships was adopted.

COUNTY SEAT WAR.
A Determined Fight Being Waged
Over the County Seat Of
Sphinx County, Dakota.

CHICAGO, Dec. S.-The adjoining towns Of
Ashton, Frankfort and Redheld, Dakota,
were contestants in 1850 for the position Of
county seat, the records being at Ashton.
The people Of Redfeld claim that at that cleo
tiOn their town secured a majority Of all the
votes cast, aud was entitled to the possession
of the county records. out that the returns
being in the hands Of hostile towns, the re-
suit was not declared till few days ago.
whereupOn the citizens OF Redfeld deter
mined 10 take possession of
the records. The result as cleaned
from dispatches to the Inter Oeear.
from Frankfort and Redheld, giving both
sides, seem 10 be as follows: Saturday
night a body Of men from Reddeld went to
Ashton, took all the county records from the
recorders Office, conveyed them TO Redfeld,
and deposited them under guard in the town
hail. Sunday evening the sheriff and a
posse came from Ashton and demanded the
records, which was refused. They retired.
threatening 20 come in stronger force. The
Redheld people, for resistance, barricaded
the town hall, placed a company Of armed
men inside and threw out line Of defence
al around the town, rumors being the town
would be burned. This morning about /. 900
armed men from Ashton and Frankfort
invested Redfeld and demanded the delivery
Of the records. At this point the court
stepped in with an order which forbid the re-
mOval Of the records from Redfeld. But
commanded their delivery to the sheriff and
county commissioners The order was
obeyed and the forces on both sides drawn
of. The dispatch from Frankfort concludes
The matter is not yet settled. Il is the in
tentiOn to wait few days and then proceed
with all the force which can be raised If
court refuse TO grant the request of the peo-
pie for the return Of the records. All county
business has been suspended and intense
excitement prevails in every portion of the
county.

other coal stock are proportionaiiy weak. The
western roads are being compelled TO reduce
their rates in order to enable the farmer TO
market his produce, and the result mus. be
that earnings viii not be as large as
was anticipated. The bulls are claiming
that large amount OF mcuey, which
is always released about The
lst OF January, will fad its
way into Wall street, and viii help 10 boom
things. The pools formed some time ago in
ST. Paul aud Northwestern are trying TO

chased when the market was or points
lower than at present. Shrewd operators
say the market looks bearish for a point or
two. but will do to buy on at the decline, as
prices must go much higher about the let Of
January. Il is announced that the next
New York Central dividend will be ll<c per
cent, and that the books will close Dec. 10.
IL Is intimated that the Lake Shores
quarterly dividend will be / per cent,
but no one has spoken authortatiyely on the
subject. Vanderbilt, II is claimed, holds
$4,000 shares Of the stock. II is thought
that earnings Of the Northwestern viii make
a worse showing in December than during
November. The market during the middle
hours became quite dull and rallies occurred
in the stocks which were raised earlier In the
day. A break later in New York Central
below 50 had a depressing effect on the bal
ance. West Shore bonds failed to do much
one way or the other, and Union Pacific was
entirely neglected. Northern Pacific pre-
ferred looked weary and tired
at the finish below 30, aud
there was but little consolation
for the bulls TO be found in any quarter.
The bears appeared to be very bold right up
to the end. and were very busy selling all the
leading shares. The failure Of opdykes &
Co., stock house, was announced.

Singular Success of DIR. Gage.

Last week DR.. Gage was again in Mont
pelier and Burlington, and a still greater
throng of patients consulted him than at
any preceding visit. His practice is among
our best families, who, already realizing the
efficacy of the DOCTORS peculiar herbal treat
ment, send their friends TO him in great
numbers. A well-known Montpelier resi-
dent who had spared neither time nor
money, and who had travelled thousands of
miles in quest of health, already reports
most remarkable results from DIR. Cages
treatment, and lady on Church street in
Burlington reports her cure after having
been the rounds of the local physicians of
that and other cities. Certainly DR.. Gage
has abundant reason to be proud of his
achievements. He came to Vermont an
entire stranger and by his candor, fair
dealings and skill has built up practice
second to none in the State. 1t Is not strange
that people were little slow at first to ac-
cept his treatment, for the country has been
overrun with unprincipled charlatans who
have imposed npon and disguised the COM
munity. 1t speaks well for the doctor that
he had visited the leading cities in New
Hampshire every month for several years,
where he publishes hundreds of sworn tes-
timonials from well-known citizens like
the following: Ira S. Appleton, Hillsboro
Bridge, N. H., makes oath. MY wife was
helpless with spinal and other diseases;
weight ninety pounds. DR.. Gage cured her
sixty-tve pounds" G. L. Buffum, North
Munroe, n. H., total loss of power in lower
extrensities also kidney and liver diseases,
and never saw the doctor. Edmund Brown,
Keene, N. H., child had spinal disease,
could not walk, nearly blind with scrofula,
cured and can run and play Alice Titus,

makes oath, "My wife has been given up
with consumption; radically cured" Ora
Bishop, postmaster at McIndoes, Vt, says,
My wife was very lame, on crutohes; DR..

opening and resumption of work as soon
after the reassembling of congress, on Janu-

provision for the maintenance OF the navy.
As has been the case in similar instances in

sion of workmen, with view to their re-
employment as soon as possible, and those
whose services are absolutely indispensable
will be allowed to continue, and rely upon
congress to reimburse them.
