depends almost entirely upon the out
line Of the steamer. the position of the
smoke-stack, cabins, lifebosts, smoke,
etc, and also upon the course OF the
vessel. For instance, on one smoke
stack of the Servia is a square white
mark, while on the others of the Cunard
feet the mark is oblong. Certain ves-
sells carry their sails in peculiar fash
ion. One steamer has derrick in a
certain place and there are a hundred
other distinguishing marks which are
noticed by the trained observer Zach

From one port-hole in the lookout
room, at a certain angle, the observer
watches for a steamer OF the Guion line
and from another the White Star. and
so on. Often vessel can be distin-
guished by the smoke. TIE steamers
of one line in particular burn a certain
kind OF soft coal and the smoke is so

The first land sighted by the majority

beach. Every one has heard OF Fire
Island. 1t is not an island, but the end
of long and narrow strip OF land be-

City. Among the earlier seaside resorts
in this country Fire Island held con-
spicuous place. 1t has been place of
marine observation for nearly ten years.
The observatory was formerly on top of
the famous Surf Hotel, but SO satisfac-
tory became the results Of enterprise
that about five years ago the Western
Union Telegraph Company erected a
substantial wooden structure, near the
ocean shore, suitably arranged for
habitation and for the watching and re-
porting of vessels. Mr.. Peter Keegan,

People Do Not Tire of the Unique Exhibit.
More Beauties.
That the Spring Palace meets all the
expectations of the people, and possesses
such attractions as fascinate those who
look upon it, is attes:ed by the continual
ton of the large attendance which
characterized the opening.
Yesterday, from the opening hour I'M
til the Elgin band carefully packed away
their instruments for the night, large
crowds swarmed through the immense
building, the pretty faces Of the ladies
adding to the charms Of the Palace.
And the beauties OF the building are
being enhanced every hour. At the en-
frances to the eastern and western wings,
where, on the opening hour, there sp-
peared lack of decorative effects, there
have now been placed some of the pref
test exhibits to the building, which had
been delayed in arriving.
Everything is nov complete. And
IN its completeness those who
have gazed upon it con-
cede that it outrlvals anything Of its
kind ever before presented to people.
Parties who visit the Palace, being told
that it is decorated with nothing but
fruits of the soil, are SPIT to be sceptical.
s'It can't amount 60 much Them say
they. But they go and see for them
selves. And throughout the livelong
day as one strolls through the building
and elbows through tbs visitors, one hears
q flow of such expressions as "Well
who would have thought it?" and ''Do
you mean to tell :ne that corn isn't
painted?'' and "I never saw anything
SO beautiful
So it is. And while the visitor stands
in awe at one object, ais gsze encounters
another no less startling, till he is in a
bewilderment of sublime beauty. The
great feature of the Palace Is its entire
uniqueness in every particular, for while
as q whole 1t is uEliks enything ever be-
fore looked upon, yes in all its thousands
OF decorations ana concentrations there
are no repetitions, no similarity. Even
the smallest design is shing by itself
without duplicate, and yet there Is the
most artistic harmony prevailing the
whole. The Japanese room, the gold
room, the temple Of Jupiter, have MOTH
ing inharmonious in their propInquity,
and yet there is the greatest dissimilarity
IN their artistic appearance. These
things deserve and will receive detailed
descriptions.

Emln Pasha,s Mission.

BERLIN, May l2.-During debate on
East Africa credits in the reichstag to-
DAY Baron Won Marschall explained that
the,mission of Emin Pashs in Africa on
part of the Germans would be con-
fined to establishing friendly relations
with those in the interior who are within
the German sphere of interest, and to
estimating the cost OF eventually forming
some fortified stations in the interior. In
negotiations with England regard
ing the boundaries OF their
respective possessions in Africa the
predomina.ing wish of Germany was TO
go hand in han1 with England and TO
cultivate the common interests of both
countries. The object was not to acquire
as much territory as possible, but TO
keep together what was naturally con-
nected by the course Of waterways. As

Deft fingers can create,
And how great natures products
AL eyes can captivate.

The plants and fruits and blooms,
The night-black coal and marble,
And fabrics of the loom.
The snog-white filmy cotton,
And golden grain and corn;
The soft and silky wool-fleece,
And bovine's lengthy horn.
".
And fish from sea and river
And fowl with plumage gay,
And birds which sing in night hours,
And herald in the day.
Come see the rare collection
OF curious creatures small
With brilliant hueS and gauzy wing
Which fly and sport and crawl.
V.
Come see our pleasant city,
AS well as palace grand;

Overlooking wooded streamlet
From bluff and plateau high,
Its situation beautiful,

Come see how rich our soil is,
How vast in miles of wealth;
Come drink its purest water
And breathe its airs of health;
Our suburbs, like fair cities,
Great prophesies fulfill,
Their outlook-far horizons
Scan, from their slightly hills.

The buzz of loom and wheel,
The mills and factories busy,

The massive stores ana churches,
And schools of rick and stone,
The gliding car sswift transit,
Have old-time ways outgrown.

The radiating railtrack.
The puff of steam and smoke
And engines, tartling whistle
And ponderous. steady stroke
Proclaim growing city
With men OF Drawn and brain,
Whose foresight and whose venture
A worldwide fame attain.

An African King and Queen Murdered by

At the Golden Club.

Special to the Gazette.
LONDON, May I2.-There was nota-
BILE gathering of free traders at the Cob
den club to-day, the occasion being the
presentation of an address to Thomas
Baily Potter, Gladstone member Of par
lament for Rochdale. Potter for several
years occupied the position of honorable
treasurer of the club, and is recognized
as one of the highest authorities on
tariff matters in England. The address
was presented by Gladstone, who in part
of his speech, referred to ti-Chinese
legislation in the United States. Owing
to the ambiguity of legislation on the
Chinese question, he said, it was not al
together clear whether the American
government taxed Chinese who entered,
or barred them all out. Anyway he
bought that the Chinese were to
be dreaded more for their virtues
than their vices, which he had not be-
heved to be so extensive or fragrant as to
warrant the grounds taken. In an in
terview subsequently Mr.. Potter de-
clared it to be his conviction that the
tariff question would again be the issue
in the presidential campaign in 1892 when
the free traders or tariff reformers would
IN all probability be successful.
HENRY NJ. STANLEY
is given to an exhibition of ill-temper
which disclosed in his character an ele-
ment of egotism which threatens to in
crease the number of his enemies If
allowed to remain undisturbed. Just
now he is complaining of the cowardice
of public men and the press of England
in not taking an aggressive position
against Germany in Africa
at his behest and is in
sell fo belittle the intellectual
qualities of those who do not agree with
him in the matter of England Is imme-
date dominion of the lake and other
desirable portions of the interior. He
admits, however, that there is plenty of
room in Africa for both Germany
and England, but thinks an
English railway should be oon-
structed at once to connect
the lakes, and place that re-
gion beyond the possibility of
occupation by other powers. Such
railway he asserts would open the inte-
rior to a trade, the value of which can
scarcely be estimated. He expresses ad-
miration for Maj. Wiessman, but is dis
inclined to speak of Emin or Of his new
expedition. Throughout the interview
in which Stanley expressed himself as
above, he referred TO himself as an En-
glishman.
