Henry NJ. Stanley, the great explorer,
delivered his first lecture in New York, on
Monda y night the goth inst. His subject
was, "My African Travels, Explorations
and Works." Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
introduced the lecturer, who was greeted
with enthusiastic applause. He said:
When Livingstone's body was on
Abbey he was travelling along the
west coast OF Africa. He heard of
Livingstone's death through cable mes
sage. He at once determined to complete
Livingstone's work and to find out what
river it was that lured the latter to his
DEATH 1t was either the Congo or the
Nile. The lecturer described the agree.
ment OF the owners OF the London Tele-
graph with Mr.. Bennett to send him
(Stanley) to finish the work. He told
OF his arrival at Zanzibar, his journey
to Lake Victoria Nyanza and his explora-
lions. He met five pirate craft, and put
them to flight by setting off an explosive
under one OF them. His sufierings and the
trials OF his men were graphically depicted.
He introduced the Bible among the natives,
and his request for missionaries from Eng
land was promptly granted. Speaking OF
the Congo, the speaker dwelt at length upo n
the obstacles in his path and the frequent
skirmishes with natives. The numer-
GUS tributaries to the Congo were described
at length. He humorously relates how,
after all his work being completed and
ready to return to England he found that the
left bank of the Congo had been taken pos
session of by the French. He told OF his
plans to prevent them from Selling the
right bank of the river. The speaker re-
ferred to India and said it's romance was
ended. White people inhabit it; 235 miles
of railroad are used; II, 900 miles OF river
ars used by eight steamers. and . cable
sends news all over the world.

GENERAL NEWS NOTES

The most sensational a. well as the
heaviest defalcation which has taken place
In Chicago in many years has just been
brought to light. Miner T. Ames, the mill
/. ionaire coal merchant, Is the victim and
Theodore s. Mize, his confidential book
keeper and cashier, the secretary OF Chicago
q Minonk Coal and Coke company, is the
perpetrator Of q robbery that is estimated
at 100000, and may exceed that
amount. Mize had absolute control OF
the moneys OF the company and the pri.
waite funds OF Mr.. Ames. Mize is one OF
the best known men in local business cir
cles. He WAS q member OF the Union Vet
eran club and the Apollo clud, being singer
OF much ability. 1t is the old story-wine.
Mize ia stopping with his father. Besides
the extrayagant manner in which he and
his wife lived, it is asserted that Mize at
various times supported three other wom-
en-, on whom he lavished money with a
generous hand. Later estimates OF tho
than at first stated, the amount be-
ing placed at t112, 900. Tho
whole family is ruined by the recklessness
OF a son, who has brought q gray-haired
father from afluence to poverty and poor
health almost to the verge OF the grave.
The homestead OF the aged parents, the
home OF the sister and brother-in-law, the
residence of the embezzler, the Jewels
OF his wife, and his very birthright and
heritage, all have gone to satisfy the
claim of Mics employer and save the son
from the penitentiary. Transfers to Mr..
Ames were recorded for all the property
enumerated, and TheodoreS. Mize. joint
ly with his father, signed away all right
and title to the share OF the fathers pro-
perty that would revert to him by the pro-
visions oil the fathers will already made.
The brother OF Mize, who is in Atchison,
Kan, also came to his assistance.

eminent related to his department.. ! especially
direct the attention of congress to the rec
concentrations contained in this and the last
preceding report Of the secretary touching the
slmplifcation and amendment Of the laws re-
lating to the collection of our revenues, and in
the interest of economy and justice to the gov
eminent hope they may be adopted by appro-
pirate legislation. The ordinary receipts OF the
government for the fiscal year ended June 80,
1886, were 1896. 439. 727O6. OF this amount

FEDERAL TAXATION.

In my last annual message to congress atten-
ton was directed to the fact that the revenues
Of the government exceed it's actual need, and it
was suggested that legislative action should be
taken to relieve the people Of the unnecessary
Burden Of taxation thus made apparent. In
view Of the pressing Importance Of the subject
1 deem it my duty to again urge its considera-
tion. The income Of the government. with Its In
creased volume and through economies In its
collection, Is now more than ever in excess Of
public necessities. The application Of the sur
plus to the payment OF such portion OF the pub
tinguishment if continued at the rate which has
lately prevailed, would retire that class OF in
debteduess within less than one year from this
date, Thus continuation OF our present rev.
enue would. soon result In the receipt OF an
annual income much greater than neces-
sary to meet government expenses, with no

The presidents message Ia generally COM
mended for its dignity, bat 1t cannot BE- said
that 1t fully meets the expectations Of his
friends The passage which relates to the
civil service is regarded by those who are
the most Interested In tho subject a. too
vague and general, and as notable chiefly
for its omissiona The free traders are not
satisfied that the message does not contain
specific rocommeudatton, and they do not
consider that the very specific recommends
ton Of the secretary Of the treasury as to
free wool and free raw material compensate
for the omissions of the president Columns
could be filed with statements of the
pretended views of congressman ON the
message, but the EXPRESSION of opinion for
the most part would be perfunctory. The
recommendations Of the secretary of the
treasury relative to wool and clothing are
acceptable to the free traders in Mr.. Morri-
sons following. but Mr.. Morrison is much
displeased that the president should recon-
mend the passage of the Mexican treaty en-
abling act, and should even hint at more re-
ciprocal trade relations with the Spanish
West Indies, for Mr.. Morrison Is wholly OPP
posed to reciprocity treaties In any form,
and characterizes all such measures as piece
meal legislation. The silver men had been
led to expect from semi official statements
that the administration would recommend
some kind of q compromise on the basis OF
q new silver note, and they are disappointed
