THE REAR GUARD.
Continued from Page 1l

Soulti, and the boy died from the iniu-
rles inflicted. One man took piece of
raw meat, because he was crazed with
hunger, and for this he received 300
lashes. AS soon as the man was able
he ran away, but was captured and shot
by Bartelot's orders"
Stanley says Bonny told him, only a
short time ago, that half the horrors
that existed in that camp are not yet
known. Stanley, when he returns to
England, may bring action for libel
against Barteiot's brother, in order to
have the matter sifted to the bottom.
LONDON, Nov. 6.-Troup's book adds
little to the interviews already pub
lished. 1t credits Stanley with a pre-
conceived idea of the causes of the dis
aster to the rear guard, and with the
rejection as untrue of any statements
failing to fit that idea. He enlarges
upon the difficulties of a young and
inexperienced officer like Bartelot in
dealing with the willy Tippoo Tib, whom
Stanley himself was hardly able to man
age, in addition to keeping control over
a camp of natives. lroup quotes
Stanley expresses distrust of Tippoo ib.
Troup says after seven and hall
months had passed, Bartelot and Sec
tion of the expedition were willing to
try to advance. The remainder, includ-
ing himself, dissented, because Stanley
had impressed upon them the import
ance of preserving the stores. He re-
peats that Bartelot had ample warnings
of the danger he incurred in venturing
out alone.
Lieutenant Troup is inclined to acquit
TippooETib of the charge of treachery,
and thinks the latter met with consider
able difficulty in collecting porters. The
book consists largely of interesting de-
tails of the experiences of the rear
column, and Troup's correspondence
with Stanley since the return of the ex-
petition.

Naval Prize Money,

Some interesting particulars in refer
ence to the apportionment of naval prize
money and bounties are contained in a
return which has recently been printed
by order of the house of commons. From
this it appears that during the financial
year 1SS9-90 the sum of e8,322 was paid
over by the accountant general out of u
total of e63, 1865, which has accrued dur
ing the last thirty-eight years, including
shares allotted to the Naval Brigade for
services rendered during the Indian
mutiny and booty gained during the
Chinese war of the same decade.
OF the balance, EAT 500 has been paid
over to the consolidated fund since 1865
in accordance with the act of parlia-
ment, and e7, ,543 remains in hand should
claimants arise. A curious feature OF
the return is the fact that out of 920, 156,
the proceeds of captured slave dhows
during comparatively recent years, only
eS,1S5 appears to have been claimed.
The government percentage account
shows a total Of e13, ,161, and out of a
balance in hand ON April 1, 1889, of e3, ,994
only 16s. 4d. seems to have been paid
during the year on account of claims
arising prior to 1866. The total sum
transferred to the consolidated fund
since 1866 is e83, 500, in addition to e173,-
900 referred to in the annual account for
the year.-Galignani Messenger.

dell, who stated that the boards mission
in Los Angeles was to locate deep sea
harbor at some point between San Juan
and Duma. 1t was it's intention to take
the coast from San Pedro and San Juan,
and then inspect the bays between San
San Pedro and Point Duma. The board,
although having the official maps of the
coast between those points, was desirous
of receiving suggestions from the various
delegates and the reasons tor which they
were advocated, preferring, however.
that they be made in writing. Although
prepared to stay as long as it appears
necessary, the colonel said that the board
desired to complete it's work as soon as
possible.
G. Dillon presented the claims of Long
Beach, Abbot Kinney those of Santa
Monica, and Mr.. Eagle those of the
tallona. A petition from Redondo was
likewise received.
1t was decided that the board should
visit San Pedro and Long Beach today;
At San Pedro the board will be received
by a committee, consisting of Messrs.
James Dodsou, Dave Weldt and A. w.
''epulveda, in accordance with the
wishes of the people of that town. From
San Pedro the board will proceed to
Newport landing and San Juan, return
ing tomorrow. On Monday Santa Mon
lea, Ballona and Redondo will be visited.
The survey will be made by land and
water. Steamers have been placed at
the disposal of the party, as well as q
yacht, the use OF which was rendered by
Captain Ainsworth. The meeting,
which was a brief one, then adjourned.
On Monday the board will visit Bal

labors.

Was Blackmailing Scheme.

KANSAS Cry, Nov. 6.-B. A. Greever,
a well-known cattle dealer, was shot and
fatally wounded this afternoon by Chas.
Clifford, New York travelling sales
man, atthe Hotel Andrew. Greever had
paid considerable attention to Mrs. Cliff
ord, ,and her husband suspected that their
relations were not entirely innocent.
This afternoon he saw Greever enter
his apartments, and, going up, tried to
get into the room. The door was
locked, and on trying it he heard
scuffle and then heard the kew
turn. When he rushed into the room
Mrs. Clifford exclaimed that Greever had
made an insulting proposition to her.
Clifford thereupon drew revolver and
shot Greever iour times. Greever, in
his ante-mortem statement, said he
went to the hotel to see Mrs. Ball, the
landlady, to pay his board bill. She
was out. and Mrs. Clifford asked him
into her bedroom, saying she would get
Mrs. Ball. After they had talked for
few moments, Clifford jumped in and
ordered him to throw up his hands.
Greever started to walk out, when Cliff
ford shot him. He claims that it was

P. Price, president of the Gazette Print
ing company, this city, and one of the
best known men in Missouri, was shot
and mortally wounded this afternoon by
Judge John Higgins, of the Pettis

Worthless watermelons.

During the season the watermelon
business was the best it has ever been.
Prices were high and sales large, fol
melons have been better than usual this
year. So good was the business that the
river men who were engaged in bringing
the melons went back to the York river
region, down the bay, and brought large
loads up there, expecting to realize
handsomely. Then the "cold snap" set
in, and the melon operators were all
dumped. At one wharf ON the river

DUBLIN, Nov. 6.-In conversation with
Balfour Mr.. McNeal, national member
Of parliament, told the chief secretary
that all his efforts in regard to Ireland
would prove fruitless, unless coercion
was abolished. Balfour replied that the
enthusiastic reception he had every
where been accorded fully justified his
Irish policy.
While Balfour was addressing depu-
tation today, McNeal began to address
the people on the terrible barbarities OF
Balfour's rule. Balfour expressed sur
prise at the intrusion OF such matters on
this occasion. He appealed to all to
say whether the government projects
were not calculated to benefit Ireland
more than all the speeches made.
In letter published this evening Nc
Neal challenges Balfour to dilate on the
use of the battering ram in accomplish
ing eviction, in his utterances before
Donegal audiences, as he boasted in

HOW THEY ARE SCAREDl

The ways of the English syndicates

at four times what he pays for the prop

of about B per cent. of the purchase

Ex-senator Pomeroy's Big Hotel Bill.

Ex-senator Pomeroy's Big Hotel Bill.
The judgment of 1894. so recently
issued by the supreme court of Kansas
In favor of the plaintiff in the case of
=. A. Smith against S. E. Pomeroy dates
back to 1878. Smith was proprietor of
the old ''Tefft house. in Topeka, where
Pomeroy made his celebrated unsuccess-
full attempt to be reelected United
States senator. Pomeroy quartered his
political friends at the "Tefft house"
during the campaign, creating bill of
$19,S24.50. After his defeat Pomeroy
paid Smith $4,000, claiming that was
enough. Smith thereupon instituted
proceedings in the district court of At
Gibson county for the balance. The debt,
including interest and costs, amounts to
about $50, ,0O0.-St. Louis Republic.

Two Miles q Minute without Steam.

Two Miles Minute Without steam.
Arunaway railroad train on the branch
of the coast division from Aptos up to
the Iona Prieta lumber mills created a
sensation along tho line of the road Sept.
13. Eight empty cars broke loose from
the engine at Monte Vista, about eight
miles north of Aptos. The road from
Monte Vista to Aptos is a heavy down
grade the entire distance, and the cars,
soon after starting, attained tremen-
dous rate of speed, and passed through
Iona Prieta at mile minute.
The flying cars kept on the track until
they had gone the entire eight miles to
Aptos. Here four of the cars turned
on to the main track without damage,
two running as far as the high bridge at
the west end of Aptos, and the other two
stopping near the station. The other
four cars dashed of the track and were
smashed into bits.
How the cars kept on the track for
eight miles at such speed over a curv-
ing mountain road is wonderful. No
one was on the train at the time it
started, and no one was injured, the
only loss being the four wrecked cars.
Railroad men claim the train made the
eight miles in four minutes.
The down passenger train from Santa
Cruz. bound for San Francisco, had a
hairbreadth escape from destruction.
The passenger train had passed the place
where the runaway came onto the main
line but a minute and a half previously.
One of the wrecked cars struck cypress
tree forty feet high and a foot and a half
in diameter and laid it fiat, almost tear
ing it from the ground.-Cor. San Fran
