The FIoods StilI RisinR.

WnKEsBARRE, Penn, Nov. s0.-The
foods are putting the inhabitants of the
Wyoming valley to great Inconvenience. The
Susquehanna river this evening covers the
fats between here and Kingston, cutting off
communication with the west side and the
Delaware, Laokawanna and Western rail-
road. The great quantity Of floating drift
coming down indicates that the food must
be doing considerable damage in the country
above. The water here is at the 1e-foot
mark and still rising.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Nov. 2O.-This evening
at o'clock the Susqushanna river was near-
ly thirteen feet above the low water mark
and slowly rising. Two spans of the frame-
work of the new bridge being built across
the river here were swept away with heavy
body of iren. Cellars in the southern part
of the city were inundated.

STANLEY AT MPWAPwA.

SAAN Akf u Al W AK :" A.
Emin and stanley,s Encounters With
the Mahdis-The Great Expedition
Practically Completes ITS Tour
Through the Dark Continent.
BERLIN, Nov. 20.-The Reichs-Anzeiger
has a despatch from Captain Wissmann,
dated Mpwapwa, October 10. The despatch
says:
Four of the Stanley men and one of
Emin's soldiers have arrived here. They
loft Stanley at Neukmma on August 10, aad
came by way Of Nvembo and Mwerieweri
north to Uaogo in thirty.thrse days, nine
days of which they rested. Emin and Casati
had three hundred Soudanese soldiers and
many other followers. They had in their
possession large quantity of ivory. Stan
ley had force of 24o Zanzibarians, and was
accompanied by his six Observation-Disclosures
Jephson, Stairs, Parke, Bonny and William.
The expedition struck camp as soon as the
messengers started. Therefore the party
should reach Mpwapwa by November 20. En-
in and Stanley repeatedly fought and repuls-
ed tho Mahdis, capturing the Mahdis' grand
banner. A majority of Emin's soldiers re-
fused to follow him south, asserting that
their way home did not lie in that direc.
ton.
Emin left two Egyptian officers in charge
of the stations. The messengers have no
knowledge Of the Senoussi nor of events in
Khartoun and Abyssinia.
Captain Wissman adds that the English
missionaries at Kisoake and Mambsia needed
protection until tho fate of Bushiri was de-
cided. Although on good terms with the
natives the missionaries were left unprotect-
ed and had to be called inside the German
station. Regarding neighboring tribes, Cap
tain Wissman did not believe the Masia
would engage in nostilities against the sta
ton, but the marauding Wahehe, with whom
Bushiri possibly had his headquarters, had
to be kept in check. Bushiri possessed only
few guns.
LONDON. Nov. 2O.-Captain Wissman tele-
graphs that Henry M. Stanley arrived at
Apwapwa on November 10. Captain Wiss-
mans dispatch concerning Stanley is dated
Zanzibar, November 20. Besides Stanley all
the European members of the expedition and
Sohinze and Hoffman, and other missionaries
have arrived at Mpwapws. All are we'll. Cap
tain Wissman expects the party to arrive at

HARTFORD. Conn, Nov. 20.-Report of
State Treasurer Henry for the year ending
June 30 il just out. The net debt of the
State stands at 5000, 1928, reduction of
$279, 073 during the year. The treasurer ex-
poets the State revenues the coming year
will pay all State expenses and make the
usual levying of State tax on the towns un-
necessary, thus saving about $3.50, 900 to the

EIGHT HOURS A DAY,

knights Of Labor Decide Net to En-
gage In a General strike fer Shorter
Hours.
ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 20.-Tne Knights Of
Labor refuse to sanction general strike on
the first Of May, 1890. Mr.. Powderly and
his executive board are eager for the passing
of law making eight hours days work,
but they think that general strike would
bring misery on thousands of working men,
and would probably not attain the desired
object after all.
The eight-hour law was made the special
order Of business by the convention yester.
day morning. The matter was discussed
from every standpoint, and, though the de-
bate was at times heated, the clear heads of
the conservative delegates held all radical
measures in check and prevented any action
being taken which might lead the members
Of the order into trouble.

LOUISVILLE'S MEETING.
Fixed Events for Which Nominal
tiOnS Are Now Omen,

Fixed Events Tor which NOmlna-
tions Are Now Open.
The fall meeting of the Louisville
Jockey club will begin Sept. 20 and con-
tinue eight days. The following are
the fixed events for 1t now open for
nominations and to close on Aug. Is
next: The Blue Grass stakes, the Belle
Meade Maiden stakes and the Sandford
stakes. all Of which are for two-year-
olds, and the Cash handicap, for all
ages, at mile and quarter. In the
first three the entrance is $50, half for
felt. The Sanford is at mile. the
others at six furlongs. Only $40 is re-
quireG to accompany the entry for the
Cash handicap. with SIS additional to
start, representing an outlay of but
S25 in any case, which is with
in the reach of all. That
great classic event, the Kentucky
Derby, together with the Kentucky
Oaks, the Clark stakes and the ST.
Leger, for the meeting of 1891, all for
three-year-oldS at that time, but now
only yearlings, close on the same day.
Aug. Is. The distance of the Derby is
maintained, but the Oaks has been re-
duced to mile and quarter, to con-
form to the Clark and st. Leger. This
will insure larger number of entries
and starters than a race at the longer
distance. For good three-year-old to
be left out of the Kentucky Derby is as
bad as the absence of a twO-year-Old
like Ell Rio Rey from the Junior Cham
pion and Futurity, Where the fOrfeitS
are so reasonable, there is little excuse
for an owner not entering for races of
such value and reputation. The fall
meeting at Lou syille will be brillia mt
one. What differences have existed
between the bookmakers and the club
have been amicably adjusted, and every
thing will work smoothly and harmoni-

glass, light it with electricity, and use it
for winter racing at night. The scheme
is believed to he feasible, and estimates
and plans have been contracted for. 1t
may be made the interest of the Amer
lean Jockey club to carry out the prof.
ject. The extension of the elevated
railroad, the Harlem turnout, will carry
people to the grounds from the center of
the city in thirty minutes. The great
centennial exhibition of 1892 could not
do better than utilize these grounds for
their exhibition. 1t would also be a
grand place for the annual horse show,
where there would be ample room to ey-
hibit speed rigs to the best advantage.
1t would also be fine parade ground
for military reviews of the national
guard. Seats could be erected around
the crest of the club house hill and pri-
vate boxes placed in the grand stand.
Certainly the project is worthy of seri-
Gus consideration, and would doubtless

The Nations Milk Supply

The figure man of the Live Stock In
dictator. Kansas City, calculates that
there are in the United States q, 000,-
600 mich cows, which will yield 1885,
600, 600 gallons of milk annually. Of this
1000, 100000 are made into butter,
yielding 1850: 900 pounds, 100000
gallons are made into cheese and the
balance is used as milk. The cheese
product is 6,5OO,OOO pounds. These are
very big figures, but we have no right
to dispute them with the knowledge at
our command. If they are correct there
