LITTLE ROW IN NEW YORK.
NEW YORK. May "A little row occurred at
the Produce Exchange at 1880 o'clock to day,
brought about by "bull' efforts to corner the

sTANLEYs EXPLORATIONS.
The Traveller on His Way Back to
EurOpe-RepOrt of His Work.


EurOpe-RepOrt of His Work.
Ex-Minister Sanford, of Florida, the
American representative on the Executive
Committee of the International Associa-
tion Of the Congo, yesterday formally
recognized by the United States as a
friendly Power, says Washington
special to the New York Herald. has re-
ceived confirmation of the rumor recently
cabled that Stanley, the African explorer.
was on his way back to Europe. At the
same time he received an authentic report
of the work accomplished by Mr.. Stanley
in Equatorial Africa.
After his return from the Congo in 1873
Stanley was met on landing at Marseilles
by Mr. Sanford, who, in the name of the
King of the Belgians. President of the
association, proposed to him to return to
the my steriOus continent which he had
just so successfully trayersed with a view
OF carrying out on the Congo the plan OF
the association of establishing a CON
tinuous chain Of stations extending from
the east to the west coast of Africa. This.
It IS now officially reported, Stanley has
accomplished, and the stupendOus impOr-
tance of this achievement in the interest
of commerce and civilization seems to be
as yet but Impertectly understood.
Banana Point, at the mouth Of the Congo.
ON the west coast of Africa, is now united
by through route of communication with
Zanzibar, an island in the Indian Ocean.
on the east coast of Africa, situated in
the same latitude, six degrees south Of the
Equator.
The successive steps by which this re-
suit was achieved are thus detailed: In
1880 Stanley founded Vivi, the first inter
national station in Western Africa. Be
fore the end of the third year Leopold
vile, station on Stanley Pool at the head
OF the lower cataracts, and the key of the
Upper Congo, was founded, and four
steamers were launched on the great
river. In December, 1883, the station of
Stanley Falls, 1000 miles up the river.
was founded, and from this point letters
from Mr.. Stanley have lately been sue
cesstully transmitted through the inter-
mediate stations to karema, the end of
the line Of stations stretching from Zanzi-
baro the east coast INTO the interior. Arab
merchants have also safely come through
from Zanzibar to Leopoldville, thus PROV
ing the connection perfect at both ends.
About two thousand six hundred miles
OF river transit OF the Congo and its tri-
butaries are opened to commerce by this
chain of stations. Consular reports lust
laid before Congress give authentic details
OF the trade ofthese regions. The imports
last year about $22000, 600. largely con-
sisting of articles which this country can
supply, and the exports were over $40, ,000,-

The Soudan is none other than the Cush
Of the Bible, which the Septuagint and
the Vulgate render Ethiopia, says the
american Hebrelr. When Moses had ar
rived at mans estate, Egypt was invaded
by an Ethiopian army, which successfully
laid waste the country as far as Memphis.
In their despair the Egyptians prayed to
their oracles for aid, and the advice
they received was that they should
offer the leadership Of their armies
to ''Moses. the Hebrew" This they
did. The great difficulty of the cam
paign was to traverse the roads which
led to the Ethiopian camp, in consequence
of their being infested with dangerous
serpents. The willy Israelite provided his
advance guards with a number of ibises
in baskets, and instructed the soldiers to
let the birds loose on the serpents. By
this ingenious eXpedient the roads were
speedily cleared, and Moses was enabled
to surprise the Ethiopians and defeat.
them with great slaughter.
Carrying the war into Meroa itself.
Moses then laid siege to the capital, Saba.
The obstinate resistance offered by the
defenders prolonged the siege for some
time, but eventually the city was deIiy-
cred up by Tharbis, the daughter of the
Ethiopian King, who had watched Moses
from a distance, and, from admiring his
yalor, had fallen in love with him. The
story ends happily with the marriage of
Moses and TharhiS

BrIgand XYarfare in Perm.

News from Peru, says a recent Panama
letter, is most unsatisfactory. The tur-
bulent spirit of the brigand or Montonero
leaders is now out in full force, since the
Chilians have signed the treaty and de-
clared that their men must not be used
any further to maintain the government.
Iglesias increases in prestige, but he can
not rely on any of his troops. Under him
they are only sure of their pay, but if he
ships them to any of the districts in which
the Montoneros abound, in order the quell
them, they at once turn over bag and bag
gage, because they are certain of plunder
of some kind in addition to their pay.
One of these bands, sent from Ayacuchos
by Caceres to the vicinity of lea, although
not strong enough to enter that town,
plundered and murdered every individual
they fell in with. The records are hOrri-
tying, although every Peruvian endeavors
TO blind the public as to what is really
occurring. Business is very bad, and
there are slight prospects of any i'm
proyement so long as the bandits control
the. principal roads leading to the in
terror.

THE wAYCRoss CONFERENCE.
Reports of Ministers which Tell of Pros
porous Church A fairs.

DARIEN, GA, May AT the Waycross
District Conference, this being the second
days proceedings, the morning session
was taken up in hearing the reports OF
pastors. In the afternoon the reports OF
pastors were concluded. These reports
were varied, but show in the main that
there has been some advance in spirit
uality and in contributions to church pur-
poses. The work seems to be enlarging.
The waste places are being built up and
a spirit of church building has been
awakened, and the churches reported
built and in course of construction are of
a better character than heretofore. A
good many houses already built
are being improved and beautifed. The
membership, during the past twelve
months, has largely increased. The Sum
day schools are reported mostly as in a
fiourisning condition. Many new ones
are being formed. Waycross was Sc
lected as the next place of meeting. w.
II. Lastinger and Roam Pafferd were
elected delegates to the Annual Confer
ence. Two more are to be selected to-
morrow. The meeting adjourned till 8

THE PANIC OVER IN NIExICo.
BOSTON, May "A. special from the
City of Mexico says: 7Fhe panic is over
1t seems that the government made no de-
mand on the Monte de Piedad Bank for
loan. The institution had been preparing
for crisis owing to the conflicting nature
of its four-f0ld function as a bank of cir
culatiOn and deposit, mortgage bank,
savings bank and pawn shop. The funds
are mostly invested in real estate, with
little cash available. The false rumor
concerning the governments demand
caused alarm, and consequently a run.
The managers did not call on the
banks for assistance until too late, and
payment had to be suspended. The bank
has about 81, 100000 in notes outstanding,
and $5,000,000 of other liabilities. The
government owes it over $3.50, 900, mostly
secured by custom house certificates
The assessments are ample to meet the
liabilities. The bank cannot speedily
liquidate its notes, but all viii be ulti-
mately paid. The Federal Bank run has
subsided, and other banks are being
strengthened. It has been made manifest
that all have a strong backing across the
water"
BOSTON JEWELERS. FAIL.
The failure of Palmer, Batchelder
q Co., jewelers. and importers of
watches, etc, is announced. Tie house
was established in the year 1917, and for
nearly half a century the firm name has
remained unchanged. Business has been
extremely light as compared with the eX-
penses, and it was decided this afternoon
to be wise to cease payment. In a few
days the creditors will be invited to meet
and discuss affairs.
AN ENGLISH BANK FAILS.
LONDON, May 3, . A. M.-The Oriental
Bank has suspended payment. The contin-
ueddrain on its resources by the with
drawal of deposits, the loss of credit and
the consequent fall of it's shares have
combined to prevent continuance OF the
bank until bill can be obtained from
Parliament authorizing it to raise fresh
capital.
The bank has been in difficulties for
some time. 1t is believed that the loss
viii not be great. The bank has f2,O00.-
600 of unproductive capital locked up in
Madritius and Ceylon which proved to ben
a weight beyond its power to support.
Disastrous speculation in Chilian bonds
was the first serious blow. The bank
also suffered from frauds and outside
failures,

a NEW TARIFF SCHEME.
Mr.. Converse VIII Introduce n Substi

Mr.. Converse VIII Introduce q Substi-
tute for the Morrison Bill.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-Representative
George L.eConverse, of Ohio, will intro
duce in the House at the earliest opportu-
nifty an amendment or substitute for the
Morrison tariff bill. The features of this
proposed measure, or amendment. are as
follows: The wool duties of 1867
are to be restored, except as to carpet
wo0ls, which are to be placed on the free
list, with some twenty other articles. The
metal schedule is to be equalized by re-
ducing the duty on some of the articles
and increasing it on few others, The
tobacco internal revenue tax is to be
abolished, and provision is to be made for
giving alcoholic manufacturers free oftax.
Manufacturers who manufacture for ex-
port are to receive a rebate on their raw
materials equal to the duty less 10 per
cent. A reduction of 10 per cent is to be
made in favor of goods imported in Ameri-
can bottoms. This is said to be similar to
the old law passed in Jefferson's admins
tratiOn, except that the Jefferson differen-
tial duty was an increase of 10 per cent.
on the then existing tariff list, while Mr..
Converse proposes a 10 per cent reduc-
ton. Mr.. Converse thinks that his bill
will reduce the revenue $40, ,000. 900 a year
Tomorrow Mr.. Converse will make
certain propositions looking to a re-
ductiOn of the tariff rates, which he will
endeayor to have printed in the Record,
and he will accompany their presentation
with the statement that if the Morrison
bill should reach a stage at which amend
ments are in order, he will offer them as
amendments. An important point of diff
ference between the plan Mr.. Converse
will propose and the Morrison plan is, that
in the list Of articles which Mr.. Converse
proposes shall come in free, neither coal,
salt nor lumber is to be found.
