Roller Skating Statistics.

The Troy Times has been figuring
some on roller skating aid finds that
there are in round numbers 80, 900 Kinks
in the United States. Allowing six
persons to each rink as fair estimate
for the force necessary to manage the
concerns, wa have 10000 employees
attached to the Kinks. Then there are
from 10000 to 10000 pairs of skates
sold each week, turned out from 500
establishments which keep 200 900
hands at work. Adding these to the
rink attaches we have $4,000 persons
making living out of the roler-skatinr
craze. The number of skaters is not So
easily computed, but our calculator puts
it among the millions, and it is probable
that 5000, 900 is low estimate. Each
skater is supposed to pay at least 81 per
week for the amusement, and we have
the sum of at least S3.000,000 weekly
spent for this purpose. To this is to be
added the first cost of the skates which
is either paid by the skaters or the rink
proprietors. The price of these articles
ranges from thirty cents for the cheapest
sidewalk rollers to Sc for fancy, highly
finished skates, and even more in excep-
tional cases. Besides this is TO be con-
sidered the cost of erecting, fitting up
and maintaining the rink. Thus large
capital Is invested in this amusement
plant, so to speak. The craze is con-
demned in some quarters on the ground
that it encourages popular extrava-

The Victorious Logan.

The return of General Logan to the
Senate has been 4 subject of national
comment for the past week, and the all
absorbing topic in Illinois. His phe-
nominal victory after SO long and ex-
citing campaign has given his name
prominence as possible candidate for
the presidency in 1888. An exchange
in speaking of his success, says:
HE has earned his success by the in
domitable courage and tenacity with
which he has conducted the fight. and
his reelection must give him peculiar
satisfaction after the defeat in the pres
idential campaign last fall. Many
Democrats are disposed to place the re-
sponsibility of their defeat upon Mr..
Morrison for remaining in the field so
long after he must have been satisfied
that he could not be elected. They
blame him also for his frequent visits
to Washington to seek aid from the Adj
ministration in the way of Federal ap-
pointments, and assert that this course
operated against both him and the
party. Not few attribute their lack
of success to the refusal of the Presi-
dent to remove Republican officials in
Illinois and substitute Democrats skilled
in wire pulling. The President, how
ever, could not have interfered In the
fight without violation of the pledges
he had made before his election, and
his course is commended by the better
class of Democrats.

Dark Deeds on the Dark Continent.

PARIS, May 22.-The French Societe
Geographic has received news from the
Upper Congo that the large Mahom-
medan population inhabiting that region
excited probably by stories of Ell Nah
dis success, have resolved to assert
their claims to the center of Africa.
The immediate occasion of this extra
ordinary movement is said to have been
the conduct of one of Henry M. Stan
ley ivory expeditions. This expedition
and the convoy guarding it were com
manued by an agent of the Interna-
tlonal African Association. Instead of
descending the Congo river with its val
liable collection of ivory to Stanley Pool
and Vivi, the expedition proceeded un-
der the protection of powerful Arab
chief named Tipu Tab eastward to
reach Zanzibar. Tipu Tab had not
known OF the existence of ivory fields in
the interior until he saw proofs of ii in
the rich stores gathered by this expedi-
ton, and as he had discharged his task
as escort and learned all he could. he
raised powerful army and proceeded
into the interior. The stories about FL
Mahdi and his expulsion OF the English
from the Seudan are supposed to have
been carried to the turbulent Mahom-
hedans by Tipu Tab. and it is feared
that they may make it very difficult for
the international African Association TO
carry out its projected work of estab-
fishing the Free State of Congo. Tipu
Tabs army is exceedingly strong.
Three thousand of his soldiers, it is said,
are armed with modern rifles, and this
army, the report states, is now adyanc-
ing, making its way by pillage and
massacre. Arawina Station has been
sacked and destroyed. The negroes
who inhabited it fled in panic before the
attack. Tipu Tab has proclaimed the
Congo as territory belonging to the Sui
tan of Zanzibar, and he has announced
his intention to suppress all opposition
to this claim. The country around
Lake TanganyIka is at present the CEN
ter of the movement started by Tipu
Iaib, but it is thought that all the Mo
hammedan race living in the belt of ter
ritory running thence in both directions
across the continent will be seized with
the fanaticism which promises such
wealth and power for them.
