sTANLEY's STORY.
Full Account of tho Rear Guard Told by

Full Account of tho Rear Guard Told by
the Explorer Himself.
New York, Dec. 5.-Chickering Hall was
crowded Wednesday night to hear Henry
NJ. Stanley tell the full story of the loss Of
the rear guard. He said: .'There are
others alive who are far better qualified, if
they would, to publish the details respect
ing the conduct Of the rear column or its
officers However. as the public are clamor-
ing for the story, now proceed to give it..
On Juno "a, 1887, delivered q letter of in
struction to Mno. 1sarN.sNAs.- ,,r-
til Aug. II, 1883, fourteen months afte
separating frotn thcHi, that discovered
reasons for publicly ccnsuring the officers of
the rear column. These reasons wore made
manifest by the official report and oral ac-
counts Of the surviving officers of the rear
column and by tho awful state in which
the forty-two men were found by US. 1t
therefore devolves upon me to explain the
reasons of this censure. You have read the
story in the Times signed by William Bonny.
Imagine tho terrible story detailed to me in
much the same way as it has been written.
If they had been earnest in tho wish to
leave Yambuya they could easily have done
so. The track was clear before them, and
inasmuch as they had proceeded on without
retreating, it was a guarantee to them that
the road was clear. Their regulations were
in their own hands to make or to mar, ac-
cording to how each acted. One thing alone
was wanting, and that was the spirit to act
and persevere in their work. What better
opportunities could FIVE young men have
had to do beautiful and noble deeds and to
prove themselves thorough men?"

The Business in the Pittsburg District
Never Before So Zig.
PrrrsBURa, Pa, Dec. 4.-The production
of pig iron in the Pittsburg district has this
fall grown to proportions never before
known, and still more furnaces are being
added. The district has now twenty-six
completed furnaces, twenty-four Of which
are producing 400 tons day. This
amount will be increased 400 tons
by two new furnaces-Isabella No.
3, which was blown in week
ago, and furnace A of the Monongahela
company. which will be lighted some time
this week. Furnace B, No. 2, which is
noarly ready, will not be put in blast until
some time next month. The output of the
last two will be used by the rolling mill of
tho National Tube company of McKeesport,
which concern is the largest Of its kind in
the world. The work OF altering pudding
furnaces to use coal instead of gas is going
steadily on, the hope of a better supply OF
tho natural fuel not being realized.

Price of Coal Raised.

P1rrsBuRG. Dec. 6.-During tho past
week tho private consumers of natural gus
in this city have been Shut Off owing to the
scarcity, and large numbers have returned
to the use of coal. The price Of the latter
aas gone up considerably and the demand
is very large. Last week coal was selling
at cents per bushel and to-day the price
was raised to cents on short hauls and q
and 10 cents on hill trips. Tbs week the
operators have forced the price per I'm,
nearly cent on each bushel. Tho price
will not remain stationary and a much
higher ratio Is expected. nuluDcr Of deal
ers say it is not improbable that the price
will reach I: conts or more per bushcl be-
fore the winter IL over. Tho heavy demand
for coal has caused "a famine for flats. and
river coal dealers find great deal of trou-
BILE In supplying their customers.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
What Attorney General Miller Says In Hi
Annual RenoPk

"has Attorney General Miller Says In Hia
Annual Report.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Attorncy- General
Miller, In his annual report, says there Is
urgent necessity for the building Of United
states jails ut points where the average of
united States prisoners is 100 or more. Vigil
!ant efforts have been made, he says, to en-
force legislation including Chinese immigra-
ton. BY the cooperation Of the treasury de-
partment 1t is believed that most of the at
telnpts to cross the border have been frus-
trated, as have the attempts to bring Chi
nese directly through the ports of the
United States upon the Pacific. In regard
to the reorganization Of the Judiciary. it is
earnestly hoped that the legislation, now
far advanced, will not be permitted to fail.
The attorney general devotes considerable
space to denunciation of the case and fee
making abuses, and says they call for
most careful consideration and vigorous
treatment ut the hands of congress- In re-
gard to the difficulty Of enforcing the law,
the attorney general says the enforcement
of the internal revenue laws and the United
States election laws is particularly re-
sisted. Several assassinations of officer
and witnesses with the purpose of impeding
the execution Of the laws and orders of tn.
United States occurred during the pas,
year. Within tho last ten days deputy
marshal in attempting to serve warrant
for the arrest of q man for violation of the
postal laws was shot and instantly killed by
the man sought to be arrested, and on pre-
liminary examination before Il mag
1strate OF the state the prisoner
was promptly discharged. 1t is GER
tainly an anomaly on a government that
those who haye committed murder for the
purpose of stopping prosecution in the fcd-
eral courts should not only not be punished
but not even be put upon trial in the state
courts. So long as persons who kill
officers. witnesses or jurors for the
purpose of impeding the administra-
ion of Justice can only be tried
and punished in federal courts for
minor offenses the administration of the
United States laws and the laws themselves
in many districts will have little respect.
In prosecutions for violations of the election
laws in several districts convictions and
pleas of guilty have been obtained in q large
number of cases. As an illustration,
however, of the difficulties met in such
prosecutions, the district attorney for a
certain district reports that in one county,
number of whose citizens were convicted
of violations of the election laws, the county
court ordered all the fines and costs as
sessed against them in the United States
courts to be paid out of the county treasury,
and in another county, number of whose
citizens were in like manner convicted or
pleaded guilty to such offenses in the
United States court, $1,000 was actually
paid out of the county treasury upon such
fines and costs in one day. These facts
speak for themselves.

Poultry Notes.

IHE India Game and Dorking make an
excellent cross for table qualities. They
produce combination of flavofs and the
development of breast formation making
1T both largo and perfect in form and
colcr
1T requires no small amount of tact
and study to breed chicks up in the
ninctics, yet when breeder ssgets there''
he has no difficulty to dispose of his sur
plus stock at prices that are not often
realized on other kinds. Whatever breed
you keep aim at the highest degree of
perfection; you can't strike far off the
mark you aim for. The ready sale of
fine stock pays to set them up high in
quality.
THOUGH many improved crosses have
been brought before the people for favor,
the Light Brahma has stood its own
ground, and to-day they are as much
praised and as highly commended to the
farmer as was the case thirty years ago.
Any breed that can stand the test of
rivalry so long and still continue to
satisfy and please the thousands breeding
them, must have qualities of very high
order. The Light Brahama has all these.
OLD hens invariably make the best Sit
tiers. They are not so tickle as puliets,
and attend to maternal duties better.
Nine eggs are sufficient under ordinary
sized hens in cold weather, and twelve
for Asiatic breeds. 1t is best to have the
proper number under the sitter than to
have more than she can possibly give
proper warmth to. Those under her
wings do not receive much heat, and,
consequently, rail to hatch we'll, or
hatch at all. The same is true while
hrooding them. .s-..z

Winter breeding.

l winner Bro0dtnRs
winter breeding is as profitable a. II
IS risky, and the risk can be reduced tn
minimum mi by careful forethought.
Inc chick must be kept warm until II
Is SIX weeks old, or it will reach q point
"here growth seems to cease. Like a
young pig 1t becomes stuntcd very easily
IN winter, and 1t is much easier to ston
us growth than to increase it. The
young chick will always thrive in winter

originally intended for the chick to come
INTO TIRE world in winter, says the Mirror
ana Farmer. but as it is now subject of
i domestication, the domestic methods
must DC resortcd to in order to enable it
10 thrive and accomplish the purposes
sought by Its introduction to existence in
the winter season. The greatest loss
occurs from disease of the bowels. When
inns appears the cause is attributed to
the food, and the attempt is made to save
| the chicks by all manner of feeding. but
the real cause of the bowel disease is
cold on the bowels, due to lack of suffi-
clcnt heat. This cold does not come
IRON prolonged exposure, or from lack
OF warmth during the day, but from the
failure to supply warmth at night, at
+; Which time the chicks are quiet, and do
not have the aid of exercise. A single
nights exposure Tor even an hour, to a
temperature that will cause the chicks to
crowd, will bring on the bowel disease.
When the whole brood is attacked by it,
the chances of saving the chicks are very
slim, as they seldom fully recover, or, if
they pass the critical stage of the diff
Guilty, they seldom amount to anything
afterward. In raising early chicks for
broilers, therefore, the main condition is
warmth, continual warmth, and plenty
OF it, as 100 degrees is not too much for
very young chicks.

a Straw Roo, for Car,n nu,,,,,n,.

A Poughkccpsic, n. Y, correspondent
OF the Farm Journal, gives the following
directions for a straw or matched roof:
i. Good, straight, rye straw is re-
quircd. Make the butts even by holding
| 1t loosely and tapping on the floor, then
grasp firmly near the heads, and shake
out short, crumpled straws and tic in
convenient bundles.
2. Have rafters the same as for
shingles.
8. Use poles about two inches in diam
cter, or sawed lath one and one-half
inches square to tie straw to. Nail
lower one to rafters about foot from
plate, and the others fifteen or eighteen
inches apart, depending on the length
OF the straw. Let them project about
six inches over the rafters to nail
the eavc-board to. Nail on eave-boards.
4. Two men are required to put on
straw, one to prepare the handfuls for
the other who binds it on. A line is first
drawn from cavc-board to cave-board, to
guide the butts of first course One man
takes straw and makes a band, fastens
1t t" the pole and shoves it against the
eave-hoard. The other man grasps a
little more straw than he can close his
fingers over and passes it to No. /, who
lays it against the band, the butts touch
ing the line, and brings the band over
the straw and around the pole, holding
all firm and taut. No. / now takes a
little straw from the head of the bunch
and twists it in with the starting band,
and is ready for another handful to bind
on as before. This process is repeated
until the opposite side is reached. The
next course should be tied to the second
pole, the butts being laid even with the
| first pole. In the third and succeeding
courses all the straw should be reversed,
, and the heads pointed down. The peak
should be capped with boards.
