He Passed Fraudulent Drafts.

A man who registered as G. w. Young,
of Chicago. put up at the Albion Hotel,
Montreal, a month ago, saying he was on
his way to England. He had plenty of
money and among other purchases was a
suit of cloths from q leading firm, for
which he paid cash. He appeared at the

of clothing and rendered III payment two
checks for $75 each, with which wal a let

about q draft which the letter said Young
was having cashek at the bank of Montreal.
After Young left with the change the pro-

and checks were ~forgeries. The police
were informed and Young was arrested at

Our C~ountry's wonderful Progress.

When properly interpreted figures
may be eloquent and teach the most
important lessons. Since the close of
the rebellion our country has reduced
its debt by 50, 600, 600. 900 and its annual
interest upon the debt by 1926, 900, OGO,
leaving us at the date of March 1, 1898,
only S36, OO0, 900 a year in interest to
pay on $765, 600, 900, the remainder of
our debt. While we have been doing
this, Europe, which has four times our
wealth and five times our population,
has increased her national debts from
$15, 600, 000, 900 to the enormous sum
of 1913, 500, 100000. On these fearful
debts Europe pays in annual interest
81, O7O, 600, 900, and about 5000, 900, 900
in addition as the yearly cost for mill
tary and naval expenditures. Our an
nual expenditures for like purposes are
$13O, 900, 900. The interest charge on
1.-THE national debts Of Europe to-day is
thirty times as large as the interest
charge upon our debt. We are, with
our reserves and surplus, practically
out of debt, while Europe seems rush
ing headlong into debt and rapidly
placing herself between the devil and
the deep sea. Europe's policy, if CON
tinued, will be disastrous. Our policy
tends to wealth and power.-Pull-

Cunning Bucketshop Keepers.

The short lived activity of the police of
the First New York precinct in arresting
proprietors of bucketshops in the vicinity
of the stock exchange, has not resulted in
closing the shops permanently. They
opened up at once and have been adopting
new schemes to conduct business. A new
one that began business to-day, and which
deals in Pacific slope mining stocks. has
what it terms a new plan of making deals.
1t looks a good deal like faro to the casual
visitor, but it differs tharefrom a little.
The room is provided with blackboards, on
which stock titles are written, like the ordi-
nary bucket shop. Above the table sits a
young man who has before him q box, in
which every morning are placed about 500
sheets Of paper, each one containing price
for one of the stocks. These are drawn
ont from time to time by the young man,
who announces that he will buy or sell such
and such q stock. Then the quotations
are chalked up. The entire range for the
day is no more than five points. No panics
or financial disturbance can affect the stock
exchange. All depends on the way the
quotat ions come out of the box.

ON THE UPPER CONGO
A NEW EXPEDITION NOW ON 1Te
Way THITHER.

Tho Hoadwaters of the Great African
River To BE Further Explored -lIontc
the Party VIII Take-The Expedition To
Occupy from . Year to q Year and u. Half.
The Commercial and In. .ustr.ul company
OF the Congo has just sent ont sn expedi-
ton, headed by seven Europeans. to solve
the remaining problems connected With the
upper wat 10 of the Congo. It is known
that the Congo is formed by three great
rivers. Most important of these rivers ie
the Lualaba, which comes hundreds Of
miles from the southwtst and fowst rough
. long chain Of lakes, two of which have
been explored by Cameron, BONN
and Reichard. It is believed to be
the largest of the Congo head
waters and to contribute a larger volume
Of water than the others to the big river.
Messrs. Hackinson, B-yaut, Santschoff
aud DeRoest left for the mouth of the
Congo June 8. Mr.. De,commime started
by way of Lisbon on July 6, Engineer Dide-
rich embarked on July 3, and Mr.. Protsch
is already on the Congo. The party will
rendezvous at Kiushassu, on Stanley Pool,
about the middle Of Sept, mber. With
IN escort OF $50 soldiers of the
Congo state they will embark on the
steamer Kio des Belges and will as
cend the river about nine hundred miles
to the mouth of the Lomami, which
they will then ascend about four hundred
m les to the head OF navigation. They
will then be only three or four days march
overland from Nyangwe, on the Congo,
above which the river is practically un-
known. The first duty then will be to as
cend the river to Lake Landji. 1t is ex-
prcted that the exploration will occupy
from a year to a year and d half. Much of
the region which they will explore, partic-
ularly on the Lualaba, is Of special inter
est, because all explorers who have pene-
trated it q little way have brought
back astonishing reports of the
country. This region includes the
great district of Katanga, whose cot.

tives as far as the Atlantic coast. Reich.

from a tongue or a pen. We may have
respect for the opinions of men eminent

which opinions are based. The world
