STANLEY HEARD FROM
Arabian Traders Saw His Expedition Near
Albert Nyanza in November, 1887.

ZANZIBAR, Nov. 2-Carriers from Tabo-
ra bring direct news from the Stanley ex-
petition, a portion of which was met at
the end of November, 1887, by Arabs trad
ing between lakes Victoria Nyanza and
Ezige and Tabora. These Arabs met
Stanley's rear guard at a point west of
Albert Nyanza, southeast of Sanga, just as
the expedition was preparing to cross the
swamps crossed by the radiation of the
streams that abound in that country. The
Arabs did not see Stanley. The detach-
ment seen consisted of thirty men. They
stated that Stanley was two days ahead.
The expedition had suffered greatly on
the march through thick forest where ii
was imossible to advance more than mile
and quarter daily They had also suf-
fered in the marshes. where many had
disappeared or died. Forty were drowned
III crossing a great river flowing from east
TO west. One white man had died. Stan
lev was obliged to fight some tribes that
refused to supply him with PROVISIONS
The expedition had after halted in the
expectation of receiving reinforcements
from the Congo. The rear guard at the
time met, had only been on the march five
days after 4 halt of three weeks, due to
the illness of Stanley and great part of
his escort, who had been attacked with
fever. The Arabs estimate the total
strength of the expedition, after all losses,
at 220 men. The health of Stanley was
then good. The rear guard, which con-
sisted of natives of Zanzibar
stated that Stanley had decided
that he would no longer advance in a
northeasterly direction, Sht would strike
toward the north hoping TO avoid the
swamps. After getting certain distance
north he intended TO take an obiique line
to the eastward and go straight 10 Wade
liza, where it was thought he would arrive
fifty days later, about the middle Of Janu-
airy, 1888. The Arabs were Of the opinion
that the expedition was still strong
enough to reach Wadelfa
1t will be remembered that on August
information was received from Zanzibar
that two messengers had arrived there
who had left the interior about the begin
ming of April and who reported that Stan
ley had not arrived at Wadelia up 10 that
time. The messengers stated that in the
month of March E1lin Pasha did receive
some vague and indecisive news Of the ex-
plorer which had filtered through from
time TO tribe, but that the reports were
very conflicting. Some decided that Stan
ley after losing a number of men and a
large portion. of his supplies, was hemmed
in by hostile tribes between the Maboda
country and the Albert Nyanaa, while
other rumors We're TO the effect that he
had been attacked by the tribes in the
Nalongora Minc district and after several
! conflicts had diverted his course in sn IN
known direction.

GEN, BENEFITS REPORT.

WASHINGTON, Nov 2.-In his annual re-
port to the secretary of war Gen. Benet,
chief of ordnance says that the bureau
expended S1,607,3S2 during the last fiscal
year, and that Al, 100 rifles and carbines
were manufactured at the national arm
DRY. Investigations have been completed
relative to the determination of the
charge, proiectile, rif1ing, etc, for an arm
of smaller calibre than the present ser
vice piece 1t is the intention to use COM
pressed and perforated cartridges. but as
vet the powder-makers have not succeeded
in producing a satisfactory powder, the
desired velocity being accompanied by too
great pressure
This matter of suitable powder is still
under study and trial. The results OBJ
tanned in France with the Debel rifle seem
to point to a radical innovation in the
manufacture of powder for all
arms. The report says that
a tract of seventy acres Of land imme-
diately outside Of the city limits of Co
lumbia Tenn, has been selected for an ar
senal and the work of construction will
begin as soon as the title is accepted. In

eight-inch breech-loading gun, one ten
inch gun and twenty-five three and two
tenths-inch steel field guns at the Watervelt
arsenal, and they will be completed this
winter. In improving the facilities of this
place $4,000 have been expended, and
tools from other arsenals have been as

ty is about fifty field guns and one eight
inch and one ten-inch guns per annum.
The remainder of the report is made up of

ANARCHIST DEMONSTRATION,

ST. LOUIS Nov. 1.-The anarchists and
their sympathizers are putting forth earn
est efforts to make their dem onstration, in
observance of the execution of the Chicago
anarchist, a success. The anniversary of
the event falling on Sunday, the Festival
of SORROW" as it is called, will be given
Saturday evening, November 10.
Die Parole, the anarchist organ, this
week is filled with appeals to the working
men of all labor organizations to be repre-
sented at the demonstration. There are
said to be from 600 to 700 anarchists in St
Louis while socialists number eight to ten
times that many. The anarchist leaders
endeavored to secure their cooperation on
the demonstration, but failed as it was de-
cided by the latter society to observe the
day separately. Arbeiter hall has been Sc
cured for that purpose.
The principal feature of the socialist
meeting be addressed by Carl Pfeffner.

tied 'Unfairness of accessory law"
Mr. Pfeffner is the man who claimed to
General B. F. Butler, when defending the
Chicago anarchists, that accessory law
was Unconstitutional, and when General
Butler dissented from that, Pfeffner
claimed that General Butler did not know
what law was.

A WONDERFUL WATERFALL.

GLENNwooD SPRINGS. Col, Nov. "A
hunting party which returned from the
mountains north of Green river yesterday.
reported the discovery Of wonderful
waterfall hitherto unknown. Although
not quite equal to Niagara in volume, it
was thought to exceed it in beauty. The
place is on Rifle creek, twenty-five miles
from here, and is supposed to have never
been visited by white men before. The
stream spreads out to the width of 800
feet at the brink, and the water glides
over rocky edge, spreading out into thin
sheet as it falls distance of $50 feet to the
bottom of the cavern directly underneath:
Members of the party dismounted and
creeping along the base OF the perpendicu-
lar wall, passed beyond the aquatic tapes

thickly studded with stalactities and
stalagmite forms of great beauty.
1t is without doubt the finest waterfall
in Colorado. The discoveries say the

dissolves into mist before reaching the
bottom. A party is being organized to
visit the spot 1t is thought its name
will be Rocky Mountain Falls.

BAYARp,S SCANT COURTESY.

LONDON, Nov. 2-The Star Ct. P. O'Con-
ner's paper says: Lord Salisbury is not
likely to listen to the demand for the dis
missal of Mr.. Phelps, the United States
minister, in retaliation tor Americas
treatment of Lord Sackville. Such step
might do much harm and could do no
good. All agree that Mr.. Bayard's cour-
tesy is scant, but we must not forget that
he is technically right. Lord Sackville's
indiscretion warranted demand for his
recall. If Lord Salisbury's reply to the
demand amounted to refusal, there is a
good deal more to be said for the action Of
America than Englishmen are just now
inclined to admit.
