this group of roads, as between the rates
which were established and maintained
for several months after that agreement,
and the rates that have prevailed under
the loose and disorganized state of affairs
that has existed since the agreement
was broken. I estimate the total num-
ber of tons moved one mile annually by
this group to be sixteen billion. The
auditor of one OF these roads has fur
nished me statement showing the diff
ference OF rates under the presidents
agreement and the present rates, which
amounts to 40 mills per ton per rmile.
Applying this difference, 40 mills, to
10000, 100000 gross annual tons, one
mile, gives the startling figure of $22,-
400, 900 annual decrease in the net earn
ings Of this system of roads, as between
their operation under the presidents
agreement and the loose methods now
prevailing.
Under this condition of things it is
hoped the bankers can be induced to
call the presidents together again, with
the assurance that they will have the
whole mass of investors behind Them"

Outbreak.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Late advices
from Pine Ridge agency, South Dakota
are to the effect that the excitement
among the Indians on account of the
new Messiah, is rapidly increasing
Some apprehension is felt that if active
measures are not taken by the govern
ment, serious outbreak may occur dur
ing the early spring, or even before. 1t
is said, however, that the government
has the whole situation in hand, and
will at once and effectually crush out the
very first signs of an uprising.
CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-The Daily News's
Washington special asserts that, ON the
recommendation of General Miles, the
war department has ordered troops from
several points in the vicinity of the
Sioux reservation to take the field at
once. There will doubtless be repeti-
tion of the scene enacted several years
ago, when General Sheridan massed a
large force of United States troops near
Fort Reno, Indian territory, and pre-
vented threatened outbreak. The war
department now proposes to make SIM
liar demonstration against the northern
Indians, and will spend no time in par
leying with them.

AFRICAN HORRORS.
ANOTHER CHAPTER IN THE REAR
GUARD CONTROVERSY.
Mrs. Jameson Tells How Her Husband
Got the Cannibal Pictures-Dr. Bonny
Says Bartelot was Crazy.

LONDON, Nov. 14.-Mrs. Jameson
writes to the papers, enclosing a letter
written by her husband to Sir William
McKinnon, after Asad Farran's story
had been told, entering vigorous de-
nial of it's truth. In his letter Jameson
says he was deceived. He saw curious
native dance, which Tippoo Tib told
him was usually followed by a cannibal
feast. He was skeptical whereupon
another Arab told him (Jamieson) to
give him bit OF cloth, and he would
see. Jameson thought this was a trick
to obtain gift, but he gave the Arab
six handkerchiefs. A girl was then
dragged out and murdered before he
knew what was going on. He made no
sketches at that time, but made them
that evening in his hut.
Jameson then goes on to tell of the
disreputable character o. Asad, and in
closes retraction from that chief, in
which he says the story about buying
the girl was misunderstood.
Mrs. Jameson adds that her husband
was about to take further steps to clear
himself, when he was stricken by a
fatal fever.
boHuy OlilCldl IepOrt is pIlul6u. LII
the course of it he severely criticises the
management of Jameson and Bartelot,
who, he says, were hand-in-glove. They
endeavored to hamper him (Bonny) in
various ways. He says the march from
Yambuya to Unaria was delayed con-
stantly by bluster, swagger and bad
management.
Speaking OF the serious losses of arms
and stores, he says during the twenty
four days of Bartelot's Absence when he
(Bonny) was in charge, they never losta
man or load, and travelled quicker. By
Bartelot's. management the loads were
afterwards scattered all over the district,
and many Of them looted.
In Bonny's letter to Bartelot's father,
telling of the major bringing chains from
Stanley falls for the slaves, he says:
''You may not like to hear this, but the
facts are in possession of the Congo state
authorities, and you would best be pre-
pared for any statement"
In the conclusion of his letter to Stan
ley, Bonny says that, reviewing all the
events, he believes Bartelot was insane.

Ter. The chief OF police has telegraphed
to all the towns in the state, and states
south, giving a description of both
men, and asks for their arrest and
detention. All the suspicious charac-
tiers in town are being arrested. Last
night about twenty-five were arrested,
searched and jailed. 1t is thought the
murderers cannot possibly escape. A
policeman who was sent out to Lake
Washington to look over the ground at
daylight. this morning, found, about
twenty feet from the place where the
body of the dead man was discovered, a
bloody sling shot with which the first
blow was very probably struck. Ex-
citement among the working class is
intense, and if the murderer is caught
he will probably be strung up by the
angry Swedes.

thousands of investors in the west, and
upon the prosperity OF these roads many
small investors depend for dividends

eighteen months ago." writes Gould,
during a period of great depression,
three great banking houses invited the
presidents of these roads to meet. The

Poor HumanitYl

The common lot is one of sorrow say -at least-the pessimists, they who look at the worst side. Certainly what would otherwise be a bright existence, is often Shadowed by some ailment that over hangs it like pail, obscuring perpetually the radiance that else would light the path. Such an ailment, and a ver common one, is nervousness, or in other words, weakness of the nervous system. a ndition only irremediable where in efficient or improper means are taken to rel eve it. The concurrent experience of nervous people who have persistently used Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Is, that It conquers entirely supersensitiveness of the nerves, as we'll as diseases-so called which are invited and sustained by their chronic weakness. As the nerves gam stamina from the great tonic the trouble disappears. Use the Bitters for malaria, rheumatism, biliousness and kidney troubles.

Cosmetics Sure to Show.

''Is there any powder which can be put on so as not to show?' I asked, when the black robes had fluttered away.
 Il never saw any which I could not jetect," was the reply.
 ''Is the Use of cosmetics increasingly was the question put to the proprietor.
 Certainly it is." he said. ''All sorts of women use complexion remedies. We don't have much to do with the stage people, who have their own ways of making up, but every Otller sort of wo- nlan comes here. In the winter we make up even buds in their first season, when they haven't bloom enough for a ball room. The washes and channels come in play then. In summer women who have been shopping step in to get dash of powder so as not to. go home to dinner in perspirat ton. Some times one of our attendants is sent for post haste to fashionable watering place to make up regular customer for hop or to repair damages after a yachting day in the wind. Shop girls make up quite generally. l don't believe their erl- pioyers require it, as some say, but they powder and rouge as much as society folks. No, we don't often use cosmetics on children, though once in a while there is a call for that sort of thing in prepara- tion for a child's party or ball. There is one little tot of 6, whose mother is a ricL widow, and terribly disappointed because the child hasn't inherited her beauty, who is brought here to be made up about as often as children's festivities go on.''- Eliza Putnam Heaton.

The Impulse to Write.

As to authorship itself, I believe a writer should have natural impulse tc write, just as the bird has a natural de. sire to sing. This impulse comes from q great variety of motives. If it is a mere sentiment, or petty ambition to see his name in print, why, he will write his book, the public will give its verdict and there will soon be an end of it. Among all this throng of writers ore will be found here and there who will have the power to interest, win and hold an audi ence. No one can pick out the man CT woman who will do that; the writers themselves do not know how it will be; they must make the trial before they can know whether they will succeed or not Young writers should rely on the liter ary judgment of honest friends, and not ask busy authors with whom they are not acquainted to criUicise their manu- scripts, as many of them now do.-E. P. Roein The Epoch.

Rural Scene in India

For the last 100 miles much of the country was pretty. The mango and ether orchards are abundant and every plain had it's many scattered trees. Bar icy was added as growth, and was well headed and green. Fences, where there were any, were of cactus and prickly pear. The spider webs over them well clouded with dust looked like great gos- sasner veils spread over the spiky hedges. Rows of aloes or century plants lined the road. Now and then vision would pene- trate as far as the eye could reach, through openings in the trees. and the prospect was that of perfectly fiat plain, relieved only by trees and villages One odd thing is frequently seen-sman round cir cles or mud well topped by cactus, h. rec 10 five feet high, and say four to six in diameter. l have since found these to be projections for young trees. They pro- tect against intrusion and against hot sun rays.-Carter Harrison's Letter.

According to the testimony of Sir Samuel Baker, Emin PaS.a ana Henry M. Staney. there is one chief in Central Africa who is worthy of the title of gen. tleman.

 Dr. Emin says that Anini is the only negro prince he has met to whom cloth ing and whatever other civilized appli- ances have found their way to his coun- try have become indispensable.

Letters from strangers dilatine largely upon family troubles, and re- hearsing causes why money is needed Tor matter sent, form, perhaps, the most trying class received by editors. The acceptability of articles in 8 well regu- lated publication office cannot depend upon the pecuniary needs of their writ CTS. Almost invariably the article ac- companying such letter is weak and worthless. 5. Letters asking that ar- dcles at companying them should be im- mediately returned, or that lengthy reply should be sent tat once," and yet mclloslng no stamp to prepay postage, are usually thrown away. The bills for the necessary stamps to accede to such unreasonable requests wonld mount up formidably in the office of any journal {. Letters from strangers, asking if certain articles would be acceptable, are usually, even if inclosing a stamp, the source of unnecessary trouble. Any one who reads a certain journal must know, if he have common sense, just about what kind of articles are wanted for 1t, and the value of whatever he may write usually depends more upon his treatment of subject than on the sub feet itself It is best to send along what ever has been thought of, with stamps Tor its return, if not available. There are numberless other kinds of trouble some letters received by editors, but those named include. perhaps, the moss important. Cheer.

A young New Yorker need not be very old to remember when the reputable res .aurants of the city bearing Italian names and serving an Italian table d'hote might have been counted upon the fingers of one hand.

New Method of Making Barrels.

Barrels are now being made of hard q-d soft wood, each alternate stave being If the ooft variety and slightly thicker han the hard wood stave The edges of tEe slaves are cut square, and when placed .ogether to form the barrel the outsides are even, and there is V shaped crack between each stave from top to bottom. In this arrangement the operation of driv- ing the hoops forces the edges of the hard slaves into the soft ones until the cracks are closed, and the extra thickness of the latter causes the inner edges to lap over those of the hard wood slaves, thus mak- ing the joint doubly secure.-Chicago Times
