THE Houston Post, with rashness
not at all foreign to its utterances, re-
marks:
"The Texas republican delegation
to Chicago is in sorry plight, and
will go into convention like ship at
sea without rudder. They have no
fixed plan of action, there is no unan-
unity in their ranks, and scarcely any
two of them favor the nomination of
the same candidate"
The Post will no doubt find that
when the Texas delegation returns
there will be no long-eared contro-
versy over the utterly insignificant
figure cut by the state in the national
convention, such as has stirred the
democratic waters of the Lone Star
state since the st. Louis convention
went through the motions.

CHAIRMAN THURsTON showed fully
as much courage as discretion in his
opening remarks at the Chicago con-
vention when he declared that "as his
true friend we cannot, dare not COM
init the political crime of disobedience
to his expressed will" Much as the
republican party may deplore the de-
termination of Mr.. Blaine to with
draw from the nominating race, it
cannot afford to go counter to his
wishes so plainly expressed, and in
this thing Mr.. Thurston is undoubt-
eddy correct. How far his views may
obtain in the convention is entirely
another matter and for the issue of
that the party at large must look to
the proceedings of their representa-
tives at Chicago.

God for His goodness and mercy which have
followed them since the day He made them
a nation, and vouchsafed to them a free
government. With loving kindness He has
constantly led rs in the way of prosperity

swift punishment our shortcomings, but
with gracious care He has warned Us Of our
dependence upon His forbearance and has
taught Us that obedience to His holy law is
the price Of a continuance Of His precious
gifts.
In acknowledgement of all that God has
done for Us as q nation. and to the end that
on an appointed day the united prayers and
praise of a grateful country may reach the

their accustomed place of worship, with
prayer and songs of praise, render thanks
to God for all his mercies: for the abundant

Let Us give thanks for peace, and for So
clal order and cOntentment within our Dor
ders, and for cur advancement in all that
adds to national greatness. And mindful of
the affective dispensatiOn with which a Dor
ton Of our land has been visited, let US,
while We humble ourselves before the power
OF God, acknowledge his mercy IN setting
bounds to the deadly march of pestilence,
and let our hearts be chastened by sympathy
with our fellow eountrymen who have suf-
fered, and who mourn.
And rs We return thanks for all the bless
ings which we have received from the hands
OF our Heavenly Father, let us not forget

Discovery of a New Explosive ELore Pow
erfuI than Dynamite.
New BRITAIN, Conn.,, November 1.-Ru-
dolph Ericsson, a young Sweed, Is employ
ell in a dru2stors in this city. Before he
came to America he worked with his uncle
IN gunpOwder factory in the old country,
and together they experimental to find a
new explosive that would be as powerful as
dynamite, but less dangerous to handle. A
few months ago young Ericsson received a
letter from his uncle, IN which the latter
stated that his experiments had at last been
successful. He enclosed the formula of the
new explosive, and Rudolph gOtit patented
under the name of ''Extralite.' The new
explosive looks like moist corn meal. It can
be made as easily as corn meal and can be
cooked, and in much the same way.
Last week Mr.. Ericsson made a quantity
of it in a stove in Curran's drug store. and
then Experimental with it before some per
SONS whom he Is trying to interest in its
manufacture. A mass of rock at Shuttle
Meadow mountain was selected as the scene
of the eXperim ents. The first trials were to
prove that the mixture could not be eXplo-
ded in the open air. A small fire was started
and Two pounds OF eLtralIts were put IN its
The stuff would neither explode nor burn.
1t was then thoroughly mixed with kerosene
oil. when about half Of it burned, but did
not explode. A small dynamite cartridge
was inserted In a rCll of the stuff. The cart
rloge exploded with fuse, but the eXtralite
did not explode. When some of the sub
stance was placed on a fat stone and struck
with hammer the only result was to reduce
it to finer powder.
A hole two feet deep was drilled in the
hardest rock to be found In a neighboring
quarry. Three rolls of the explosive, each
containing three ounces. we're tamped down
IN the whole and connected with fuse. The
explosion shook the ground and the air was
filed with flying bOulders. The result
achieved would have required two pounds of
gunpOWder or one pound of dynamite, while
only nine ounces of extralite were used.
The manufacture of the explosive will be
commenced in New Britain at once. The
street commissioners of Hartford have de-
cided to use it in the city's quarries. The
French government is id to have paid
100000 for the right to use it.

Within Two Years-A Detach-

IN 1887
The Expedition Has bet with Much suf-
ferIng and Great oss Of Life From
Attacks by Hostile Tribes
Pressing Onward.

ZANZIBAR, November 3.-Couriers from
TabO-a, bringing direct news from the Stan
ley expedition, a portion of which was met
at the end Of November, 1887, by Arabs
trading between Lakes Victor and Nyanza,
and Nzige and Tabora. These Arabs met
Stanley's reer guard at q point west of Al
bert NyaDza, southeast Of Sanga, Just as the
expedition was preparing to cross the
swamps crossed by ths radiation Of the
streams that abound IN that country. The
Arabs did not see Stanley. The detachment
seen consisted of thirty men. They stated
that Stanley was two days ahead.
The expedition had suffered greatly on
TIE march through a thick forest, where it
was impossible to advance more than a mile
and a quarter daily. They had also suffered
IN the marines where many had disappeared
or di6d. Forty were drowned in crossing
river flowing from east to west One white
man had Gi- d. Stanley was obliged TO fight
some tribes that refused to supply him with
provisions. The expedition had often
halted with tho expectation Of receiving re-
lnforcements from tie Congo.
The rear guard, at u e time met, had only
been on The march five days, after a halt of
three weeks, due 10 the illness of Stanley
and great q { of the escort, who had been
attacked with fever. The Arabs estimate
the total strength Of the expedition, aft7r
all 10 =ses at go men. The health of Stanley
was then good. III rear guard, which con
sisted of natives of Zanzebar, stated that
Stanley had decided that hs would no longer
adVence IN a EOFtheasterly direction, but
would strike toward the north hoping to
avoid sWamps. After getting a certain dis
lance north he intended to take an Oblique
line to the eastward and go straight to Wa
della, where it was thought he would arrive
nifty days later-abOut the middle of Janu-
airy, 1883. The Arabs were Of the opinion
that the exDed ton was still strong enough
to reach rs adelia.
II viii be remembered that on August I,
information was received from Zanzibar
that two messengers had arrived there who
had left the interior about the beginning of
April and who reported that Stanley had
not arrived at Wadelia up TO that time. The
messengers stated that In the month of
March, Emir Pasha did receive some vague
and IndecisjVe nsws of the explorer which
hao filtered through from tribe to tribe, but
that the repCr : were very 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 MalOda country and the Albert NyanZa;
while other rumoIs were to tho effect that
ne had been attacked by the tribes IN the
Matongora Mine district, and after several
conflicts had diverted his course in an IN
known direction.
