NEWS FROM STANLEY.
The Expedition Reported Struggling
Through Terrible DinfcuItIes.

The Expedition Reported Struggling
Through Terrible DinicultIes.
ZANZIBAR, Eov. a.-Couriers from Ta-
bora bring direct news fro.r the Stanley
expedition, portion OF which was met at
the end of November, 1887, by Arabs trad
ing between LAKES Victoria, Nyanza and
NZige and Tabora. These Arabs met
Stanley's rear guard at a point west Of
Albert Nyanza, southwest OF Sanga, Just
as the expedition wss preparing to cross
swamps caused by the radiation Of the
streams that abound in that country. The
Arabs did rot see Stanley. The detach-
ment seen consisted Of thirty men. They
stated that Stanley was tH" days
ahead. The expedition had suffered
greatly on the march through thick for
est, where 1t was impossible to advance
more than a mile and a quarter daily.
They had also suffered in the marshes,
where many had disappeared or died.
Forty were drowned in crossing a great
river flowing from east to west. One white
man had died. Stanley was obliged to
fight some tribes that refused to supply
him with provisions. The expedition had
often hated In the expectation OF receiv-
ing reinforcements from the Congo. The
rear guard, at the time met, had only been
on the march five days after halt of three
weeks, due to the illness Of Stanley and a
great part of the escort, who had been at
tackled with fever.
The Arabs estimate the total strength of
the expedition, after all losses, at $50 men.
The health of Stanley was then good.
The fear guard, which consisted of natives
of Zanzibar, stated that Stanley had de-
cded that he would NO longer advance in
a northeasterly direction but would strike
toward the north, hoping to avoid the
swamps. After getting a certain distance
north he intended to take an oblique line
to the eastward and go straight to Wa
delai, where it was thought he would ar
rive fifty days later-about the middle Of
January, 1888. The Arabs were of the
opinion that the expedition was strong
enough to reach Wadelal.
1t will be remembered that August in
formation was received that two mes
scngcrs had arrived there who had left the
interior about the beginning Ct April and
who reported that Stanley had not arrived
at Wadelai up to that time. The messcn-
ger stated that in the month of March
Emin Pasha did receive some vague and
indecisive news of the explorer which
had filtered through from tribe to tribe,
but that the reports were conflicting.
| Some declared that Stanley, after losing
a number of men and large portion of his
supplies, was hemmed in by hostile tribes
between the Maboda country and the
Albert Nyanza, while other rumors
were to the effect that he had been at
tackled by the tribes in the Matongora-
Mino district and, after several conflicts,
had diverted his course in an Unknown
direction.

BUSINESS GOOD.

The Regular Weekly Review of the COun-
try's Trade Shows Every Thing to lie
Satisfactory.
NEW YORK Nov. 3.-In its review of the
trade situation Brddstreet'S speaks as fol-
lows: An exceptionally good trade is re-
ported from Kansas City, where the vol
ume Of trade is estimated at 90 per cent in
excess of the total for October, 1887. The
Louisiana rice crop is estimated at 675, 900
bags of rough. The sugar yield in that
State is said to be disappointing, but in
terror general trade throughout the
lower Mississippi valley is more
brisk since the crop began to move.
Southern Georgia trade, particularly
at Savannah, has been restricted
by the epidemic in Florida. The advance
in the price of boots and shoes urged by
New England manufacturers has not been
realized. Collections Northwest have i'm
proved and greater ease is announced in
the Central, Western and Southern States.
Funds are growing easy at all centers and
even those at which the heaviest drafts
were made from the great agricultural re-
gions now report a returning current of
more ready funds than are in demand at
the moment. Stock speculation at New
York is stagnant. Prices declined at first
on bearish manipulations but recovered
strength later on. Money in New York is
in slack demand with call loans from %
to per cent. Foreign exchange is dull
and slightly stronger.

General Benet's Report for the Last FisC


General Benet's Report for the Last Fiscal
Year.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.--In his annual re-
port to the Secretary of War General
Benet, Chief of Ordnance, says that the
bureau expended 81, 507, ,Ss2 during the last
fiscal year, and that Al, ,130 rifles and car
bines were manufactured at the National
armory. Investigations have been COM
pleted relative to the determination of the
charge, projectile, rifiing, ETC., for an arm
of smaller caliber than the present service
piece. 1t is the intention to use COM
pressed and perforated cartridges, but as
yet the powder makers have not sue
ceeded in producing a satisfactory pow
der, the desired velocity being accompa-
MED by too great pressure. One S-inch
breech-loading gun, one 10-inch gun and
twenty-five 3.2-inch steel field guns are
being made at the Watervliet arsenal and
will be completed this winter. In improv-
ing the facilities of this place $4,000 has
been expended and tools from other arsen-
ais have been assembled there, so that the
present capacity is about fifty field guns
and one S-inch and one 10-inch gun per
aunum.

WOLVES are reported playing havoc
with sheep and colts in Northern and
Eastern Montana. Chouteau County
is the greatest sufferer. 1t might pos
sibly stand off its own wolves, but
with the whole Northwest Territory
across the line full of them and con-
stantly breeding them, it can make
little headway in their destruction.
Unless the next Legislative Assembly
takes some measures to destroy these
fast-multiplying pests the stock in
dustry in Northern Montana will be
seriously crippled, if not altogether
destroyed,

JUMPING SPIDERS.
Lively Animals That Are Supplied with
Eyes All Over the Cephalic Region.

Lively Animals That Are Supplied with
Eyes All Over the Cephalic Region.
These spiders, jumpers, belong to
the group which naturalists call the
saltatory spiders. Some of them are
disguised, as if for protective resem-
blance, with the costume of a hymenop-
ferrous insect, or under an aspect re-
sembling that of ants. Producing only
a small quantity of silk, they hide
themselves in cracks in the walls or in
assures of bark in the shadow of the
foliage, and make themselves lodge
of smooth or fossy tissue. At ths
laying of its eggs the jumper shuts
itself up in its shell. One species de-
posits its eggs without any covering;
a more fortunate species inclOses them
in a sack with thin and almost diapha-
nous walls. Not having the faculty
of spinning webs, the saltatOry spiders
are hunters, and have to fast If the
weather is bad. On pleasant days they
are to be found all around, and, hav-
ing eyes all over the cephalic region,
some of them quite small and others OF
enormous size, they can look ACCURATE
ly through all the surrounding space,
which they explore slowly and with
care. Ii fly is in sight, the spider
launches itself upon it with dizzy ra-
pidity. 1t measures its distance SO
well that it rarely misses; but, if this
should happen, no harm comes to it,
for it has fixed thread to its starting
point, which, unrolling as it leaps, pre-
vents its striking upon the ground.
and affords an easy road back to its
position.-M. Emile Blanchard, trs
