came more civilized ,and the Africans now
are ambitious to enter the service OF the
Europeans on the coast. Those who are
not fitted for assistants in trade or for
servants live in the forests, gathering
| WOW and rubber for the white trader
NJ GoooIo. being too young to be Of use
In mercantile way, lived in one Of his
uncles huts in the village of Melisse.
Mr.. Steckelman came to America, and
went to Columbus, Ind. when he was
quite young. He afterwards went to
Mayumba, and engaged In trading trips
into the interior. Some young Africans
who had gone to Europe or to America
had learned a great deal, and had gone
back to become accountants In the coast
trading stations. N Cocolo's parents
begged Steckelman to take the boy to the
white mans land, and to teach him to
read and write, in order that when he
returned he might be bookkeeper. This
may not seem a very dignified position
for prince of the blood, but it Is better
than living In hut In the forest and
gathering ivory and rubber. Steckel-
man brought the boy with him to Colum-
bus, Ind There the trader has a store
of African goods which he has sent on
from time to time.
N Cocolo was taken to this store,
which, when he arrived, was partly used
for Christmas goods. 1t must have been
singular sensation to the boy to be set
down among so many toys. The people
in Africa go wild about a few trinkets.
So great is this passion that explorers
take with them immense coils of brass
wire, which they give to the natives to
make ornaments OF. One may imagine
that an African boy, years old, placed
in Christmas store, would almost burst
with pleasurable though avaricious emo
tons.
The youngster took position in the
back Of the store, where he at once be-
came an object of great interest, espe-
cially to children. Some of them thought
he wouldn't understand their remarks,
but party of boys and girls who were
criticising him one day were surprised
to hear him say;
Get away; / amt no monkey"
The child is to be put to school, but he
will doubtless only learn to read and
write, for Mr.. Steckelman expects to re
turn to Africa next summer, and will
take N Cocolo with him. After the boy
is sufficiently instructed he is to be Mr..
Steckelman's bookkeeper. He is dressed
in white mans clothes, which he takes
to quite naturally, except the shoes.
Although he wears sizes altogether too
large for him, he prefers the barefoot
system of his native land. He thinks
America is a fine country, but he re-
CARDS the climate cold. There is certainly
enough influenza. catarrh, bronchitis and
other kindred diseases in America-es-
pecially in winter-to impress boy who
has lived in tranical Africa with no

An Eminent.y Proper Criticism.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The Evening Journal
this afternoon, criticises severely the re-
port furnished to the Chicago papers by the
City Press association of the recent Grand
Army of the Republic meeting in this city.
1t also denounces the Grand Army Of the
Republican representatives themselves for
alleged attempts to unduly influence the
press in the interest of their boycott of
offending railroads. Regarding the meeting
of the department commanders Wednes-
day, which was held for the purpose of con
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of adhering to
their former recommendations of non
attendance, the Journal says edi-
torialIy: Zone of the most mis-
chievous parts of the conspiracy
to boycott which a few misguided Grand
Army leaders have engaged is the dis
semination of false intelligence through
the press They have apparently obtained
control of some special reporter and load
the telegraph wires with fictions in
regard to their doings For instance,
on Wednesday dispatches were sent
out to the Milwaukee press, if not
elsewhere, absolutely stating that eight
states were represented in Chicago
at the secret meeting of the kickers held
that day, and list of the department com
manders is given as if they actually were
present. The story is absolutely false,
as but two department commanders were
in Chicago on that day-Martin, of Illinois,
and Brown, of Michigan All the rest is
fustian."

Sullivan Goes Back to MissIssippi.

NBw York, August John L. Sullivan
was taken before Judge O'Brien in the
supreme court this noon and through his
counsel admitted that he was the person
called for in the writ of extradition. He
said he was willing to go south, and the
Judge ordered that he be turned over al
once to Deputy Sheriff Childs, Of Jackson,
Mississippi.
Counsel Nicoll informed the judge that
before the arrest was made Sullivan had
made up his mind to go back voluntarily
and surrender himself to the authorities OF
Mississippi, feeling confident that he would
be justly and fairly dealt with. He
further said that when Sullivan en-
$ered into the compact to fight
Hilrain he understood that the battle
ground would have been in Louisiana Not
before the night before the fight was a
change of ground made to Mississippi and
Sullivan did not really know until the ring
side was reached that he was in MIssis-
sippL He did not change the ground and
he had no intention of breaking the law,
but he had no alternative but to fight or
become poltroon. Sullivan is now willing
TO go back in company with Deputy Sheriff
Childs as soon as that officer desires. The
assistant district attorney took receipts
from the deputy sheriff for the body of
John L. Sullivan, who was then handed
into his custody. Sullivan will leave for
Mississippi tonight.
a All the fight seemed to have gone out of
Sullivan when he reached headquarters
again after his surrender in court Said he:

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The worlds fair com

meeting was most enthusiastic. Among
the resolutions adopted was the following
Resolved. That. whereas, the recent con-
tennial celebration in New York was re-
ceived very properly and with Chicago's
hearty concurrence in the distinct recogni-
ton of Congress and of the chief officers
of the government, imparting to it a
national character: and like recognition
and substantial aid having been extended
to the worlds fair in Philadelphia. also with
Chicago's cordial cooperation in and out
of Congress, therefore the west feels justi-
fed in insisting upon its turn now and upon
the location of the next great fair in its
commercial metropolis"
An executive committee consisting OF
thirty-five leading citizens was appointed,
Governor Fifer and Senator Cullom were
added to the general committee. The
mayor was authorized to add to the gen

cities of the western and northwestern
states in a ratio of not exceeding one for

is proceeding with admirable activity in
the discussion of the Donough-More con-
tract Five articles are already approved.
The first, by which the bondholders declare
the foreign debt of Peru, is finally can
celled; the second, giving them the rail
ways of the state for sixty-six years in
perpetual possession, did not meet with
appreciation; the third accords to them
1000, GOO tons of guano, although the entire
amount now exported does not reach
over six hundred thousand tons. The
use of the road, and the apper-
tenances thereof, on the Arequipa railway
and the navigation of Lake Thieicaca under
the national flag and in national vessels
with Peruvian officers in uniforms. All
these have. been passed, instead of the
annual payment of so many pounds for
every new kilometer of road finished, and
of those kilometers there are 30S. The dis
cussion on the contract is expected to be
soon concluded, and since the more i'm

mainder. No opposition is expected in the
senate, only five senators being known to
be disaffected The majority will be sweep
