Special Correspondence of the Globe.
Boston, Mass, March 9.-The snow
is rapidly disappearing from this sec
tion of the country, and, notwithstand-
ing the weather is still very cold, every
one is beginning to take an interest in
base ball. The Boston people are the
greatest lovers of the national game I
have ever seen, but they are peculiar.
They don't waste much time in talk,
but act when action is necessary. The
great triumvirate of the home league
club is not in good standing with the
public. The latter think ''the great
three' are too slow, and think more of
their own pockets than the demands of
the people. The present dissatisfaction
grew out of Messrs. Soden, Billings and
Conant permitting New York, Chicago
and other clubs to come right into their
own territory and take their pick of the
promising young talent developed last
Season. The engagement, however, of
Sowders, st. Paul's great pitcher, has
in a measure atoned for past dls

ThsDark Continent.

If Henry M. Stanley has been slain
by the natives of Africa, as reported,
it is probable that he will be the last of
the explorers of the Dark Continent to
fall victim to their savagery. The
movements in Europe towards taking
possession of Africa in the name of
civilization have gone so far that, with
the stimulation of interest his death
would naturally produce, forces too
strong for the native tribes to with
stand will soon be in operation there
England, France, Belgium and Italy
are IN active rivalry as to which will
secure the largest share of the prize,
and Germany also puts in claim for
portion of the spoils. 1t is reported
that England has already set in mo-
ton the same sort of machinery that
gave her India and Canada and South
Africa, in granting charter conveying
sovereign privileges to the East Afri-
can Company TO have possession of an
area nearly 200 miles wide stretching
across the continent. England will
not be backward about supporting the
enterprise of such a company, however
little right she may have for usurping
or conveying the sovereignty of a
country which it would be just as
legitimate for the United States 10

government. The Congo Free State is
already established, and Italy, whose
hold is yet feeble, is pushing forward

light of commerce, education and

The floods continue and the destruction
to property all along the Little Kanaw-

1854, when the great flood came. The
farms are flooded and hundreds OF
acres of growing crops and harvested
grain are deluged. Millions of feet of
lumber are afloat in the swift current,
going to destruction. The loss in this
vicinity will be Sl5. 600, and in this and
adjoining counties viii be more than

National hotel this morning. The
prisoners were taken completely by
surprise, Both men we're taken to

two chiefs were charged with con-

in which Hoge is alleged to have re-

then disable the engines is said to be
the basis of the charge against Hoge.
