About this time Popo Leo developed
his policy as ono Of resistance to the Sec
ularixing tendencies Of tho civil govern
ment So Bishop Parocchi was made
vicar general, and welded a power sec.
ond only to that OF tho pope. In fact,
It was soon recognized that affairs OF the
Vatican were confided to Cardinals
Rampollo del Tindaro and Lucido Maria
Parocchi When the electoral conclavo
assemblies, the power Of Cardinal Paroc-
chi will DO supreme In all the arrange
ments, and he will be supported by all
the priests Of conservative views--those
whom the italian politicians affect to
stigmatize as the "black party" Many
shrewd observers In Italy look upon his
election as already certain.

question to choose o Frenchman or Ger
man, as, In spite Of Its spiritual character,
the papacy is necessarily interested In
European complications. Spanish, Eng
lish, American and other cardinals are
not subject to the same disability, but
none Of them are prominently spoken of.
Tho Italian cardinals outnun,bcr oil
others, and, In view OF tho peculiar rela-

Italy, 1t II conceded that the next pope
will be an Italian.
There is u curious lack Of Information
among non-Catholics ON this matter Of
the relation Of the pope to the local gov.

the conclave is not FREQ to choose, or il
In some way unworthiiy influenced in

then accepted their choice a. the divineiy

A TOWER prsioN.

The tower Is to be 1000 feet high. Il
Is intended that having reached the sum-
init Il may proceed on its course, and
touch tho ground on the opposite side
from which Il started. The rider will
travel over complete semicircle. Il
will be like moving in gigantic inverted
swing. When at the top pause will be
made in order that the scenery may be
viewed, and then the tower will proceed
to lie down again, like a big elephant
with children ON his back, and the party
may get of 1900 feet away from where
they started. Or, II they choose to stay
aboard, they may bs relanded at tho
point Of departure.

IwO Records Broken.

The first open handicap athletic games Of
the National Gross Country Association Of
America were held recently on the grounds Of
the Staten Island Athletic club. The track
and jumping path were, considering the day,
In first rate shape. Very few thought any
records would be broken, but two did go,
however, and in one case the record breaker
was rewarded by winning the race, which II
rare in handicap competition.
George Schwegler, Staten Island Athletic
club, lowered the record In the $50 yard hur-
die race 2 fl. in. high, from 32 is seconds

THE JUDsoN TOWER.

which will run inside the belt arch over
the globe. Having assembled to the sum-
init Of the structure, the spectator will
have reached an altitude of 1000 feet
The cost will be nearly S2,000,000.
Mr.. w. L. Judson, the inventor of
pneumatic street railway system. has sug-
gested tower 10 be one half as high
again as the Eiffel. A spiral way will
lead around it, on the outside Of which
its summit is to be approached. The
drive around the spiral to the top Of the
tower will take one over distance Of
three and one-half miles, or about az
far as from the Battery to Union square
In New York, or from the county and
city buildings to the Douglas monument
in Chicago. This will combine trip to
the clouds and an afternoon drive.
Though as the horses and those who ride
will constantly be turaing in one direc-
ton, and ascending at the same time to
a great height, it is quite probable that
one or both may become giddy.
Mr.. Judson, however, takes a happier
view of the matter. He expects that
there will be tram cars drawn by his
system, and making the ascent in twenty
minutes. The view all the while will be
gradually expanding, until at the top,
on clear day, one may see distance
Of 175 miles. The tower itself may be
used for lodgings, which will be cool
resting places on a hot summer night.
and very attractive, especially for thun-
der storms. The plan has been approved
by competent engineers, and will cost
S2,50O,0O0.
But all schemes, especially as to their
elevating facilities, pale before the plan
Of Mr.. Timothy Bernard Powers, OF
New York. Mr.. Powers has looked be-
yond the dull rides in elevators or the
long circuit Of tram cars. He has con-
ceived plan which should be known as
the "rocket" plan, for by it the visitor

HERBERT wARD-THE CONGO STATE.
the beginning Of five years experience
which made Australia and Borneo seem
like Sunday school picnics.
At the station itself white man could
retain life and fair degree Of health,
but frequent expeditions were necessary,
and finally he volunteered in the Emin
Bey relief expedition under Stanley, and
was in the forlorn band which struggled
towards the coast, only few of them
reaching it. Among the black savages
living nearest to the station Mr.. Ward
was often witness to the most revolving
cases of cannibalism, and remained some
time in villages scourged by smallpox
and African fever. During all this time
he kept up his nerve, took many valua-
BILE Photographic views and set down
minute descriptions Of the country and
people.
His most agreeable experience was
with Tippoo Tib, the now famous bandit
and slave catcher, who is an unusually
intelligent negro with slight dash Of
Arab blood. Tippoo was Of great use to
Stanley on his first expedition in hiring
men, acting as interpreter and securing
a free route by the terror Of his name.
He then organized larger band than
ever Of Arabs and Arabized negroes and
entered on systematic course of plum
der. His principal method is to attack
native village. capture as many of the
principal men as possible and compel
the tribe to ransom them. An elephant
tusk is the standard ransom for an ordi-
nary black citizen, and one Of Mr..
Wards photographs Is Of pile OF tusks
which would be worth at least S2O0, 900
in London. A chief is rated much
higher. II the raided tribe il too poor
to buy the captives they are sold as
slaves or "beefed"-that is, traded to the
cannibals And this monster is ranked
with the nobility when he visits the
court OF Zanzibarl
MIR. Ward notes the same curious con-
trast between adjacent tribes as exists
among American Indians. The indus
trious Zunis and utterly unwarlike Mo-
quis, for instance, Of Arizona, have long
liSed in the midst Of fierce Navajoes,
and Utes. At one station in
the cataract region Of the Congo he
found the people very civil and friendly,
but, he expresses it, "eaten up with
superstition" Every untoward event Of
their lives is ascribed to witchcraft. II

TONS OF IVORY.
from The New York Hcraid.l


There are vast regions where every
native is thief always, . murderer on
occasion, and cannibal whenever he
can get the material There are other
vast stretches Of wilderness where fever
is as common as catarrh in New York,
and almost always fatal-regions the
European can only traverse by keeping
his system super-stimulated with quinine
or other prophylactics, and where low.
ering Of the physical standard for even
one day Is death warrant And to cap
the climax Of horrors there u belt ira
versed by the Congo where all these
evils are combined, where the air is alb
solutely 30 poisonous that no race Of
developed brain and nervous system can
survive a year, and, consequently, none
but the lowest savages live--a land ap-
parently forgotten Of God and afflicted
with every possible moral, physical and
brute evil, where every bush has thorn
and every insect q sting, every worm is
vile and every snake Is venomous, every
man is an assassin, every woman beast
of burden, and all Of both sexes cannibals
There is popular impression that the
enormous natural wealth Of the country
will justify risk Of even such horrors,
but Mr.. Ward thinks otherwise. The re-
sources, he says, are nothing like what
is represented, and, even If they were,
white men would not be justified in the
attempt to redeem such region till all
other sections Of the earth are civilized
and filed. His experience before going
to Africa should have qualified him to
judge. He is but 90 years Of age, small
but compactly built, with superb con-
stitution and phenomenal powers Of en-
durance. He is English, Of wealthy pa
rentage, and in early boyhood ran away
and became sailor. As such he reached
Australia, where he Joined circus COM
pany and travelled some time as per-
former on the horizontal bars. Next
he went to the mines and then explored
the wild Australian interior.
His next experience was in India, and
then with daring naturalist in the in
terror of Borneo. With the explorer
Hatton he penetrated to the interior Of
that island, where Hatton died, and
Ward fought his way alone through the
wild Dyaks to the coast. He was 80
worn out that he returned to England,
but health and vigor were soon restored,
and he cast in his lot with Stanley. The
latter induced King Leopold to appoint
