Services at Camp Acton Close with Enthusi-
asm and Zeal for Further Work.
epsciai to the Indianapo,i. journal

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
CAMP ACToN. July 30.-This morning the peo-
pie gathered in large numbers in the auditorium
for the last service Of the camp-meeting. DR..
Keen took charge and turned it into a speaking
meeting. 1t was of great interest in lively
songs and fervent prayer, and 142 persons gave
testimony in about forty minutes After the
testimony meeting the march was taken up.
with very long line of people, who, singing
Justify, marched all around the ground, and re-
turned to the auditorium, where the doxology
was sung, amid vigorous hand-shaking.
Pleasant expression was given concerning all of
the special workers who had been here. Leav-
ing camp large number of people gathered up-
on the depot platform waiting for the trains.
which were behind time but the crowd occupied
the moments in song shout and prayer. 1t was
about as good meeting as has been held
on the grounds. Everybody agrees in sayine
that the Acton camp. meeting Of 1888 has been g
great success. It has been blessing to th
churches round about; and ii is thought that many
revivals will be tho outcome. Over one hundred
souls have been converted aud many sinners ro-
claimed. The plans for next year will be of the
same character as this, but much broader.

EXPLORER STANLEY.

Fears Entertained that Tippoo Tbs Rsshness
Has Brought Disaster TO the Expedition.
Bpecial to the Indianapolis JournaA
LONDON, July 30.-The fate OF Stanley still
continues to disturb the puolic mind. and the
discussion concerning his whereabouts, if alive.
has been prolific of innumerable theories. The
fact of Tippoo Tbs following Stanley, however,
is held to enhance the probability of his death
in the minds of the pessimists. Major Bart
telot, commander of the camp at Aruwimi, and
Prof Jameson, the eminent naturalist, are
known to be good men. and entirely capable, un-
der ordinary circumstances of rendering inval-
liable assistance to Stanley. but il is feared by
those who know Tippoo Tib we'll that that chief.
at the head of a small army under perfect con-
troll has not been able to resist the temptation,
always strong within him, to fight whenever an
opportunity occurred, and upon the assumption
that he has yielded to his belligerent in
stincts, it is believed that Stanley has
been overwhelmed as the result of the exaspera-
tion of the natives which Tippoo has aroused.
Strong pressure is now being brought upon the
government recognize the unofficial expedi-
tion now on the way to Khartoum. which will
not likely meet with any serious opposition un-
til it arrives at Berber where the new Mahdfs
outposts are at present stationed. The follow
ers Of the Khalifa are known to be half starved
and mutinous, and their desertion OF the Mahdi
aud alliance with the expedition, in event Of it's
recognition. is confidently relied upon by the ad-
vocstes of the governments plan for relieving
the belesguered whites 10 the interior of Africa
The Pail Mall Gazette, in a strong article, to-
day, advocates the appointment of Zebehr Pasha
to the command of an expedition to search for
Stanley. and the suggestion is favored by many
persons familiar with the general situation in
the African interior.
