Stanley Causes England to Push
Expeditions into Africa.

Expeditions into Africa.
LONDON, Specal-Sir Francis De Winton,
the new governor general of British East
Africa, will leave England next week for
Zanzibar en- route for Mombassa to assume
the administration of British East Africa.
Sir Francis will be accomp panied by several
energetic officers and others, the British
East African company having determined
to push expeditions into the interior with
out delay. 1t was hoped that Stanley
might be induced to accept the appoint
ment but German aggression has made the
condition of affairs too urgent to permit
delay, and Sir Francis goes at once with
the full advantage Of Stanley's advice. Ia
deed, the appointment may be taken as the
first outcome of that close conference which
has taken place during the last fort
night between the great explorer and the
heads of the British East African company.
Notwithstanding the speech of Gen. Won
Caprivi in explanation OF German aims in
East Africa there are we'll grounded fears
even i'll British ministerial circles of bad
faith on the part of Germany which should
be England's generous ally in colonial ex-
tension. The negotiations between Eng
land and Germany for the delimitetion of
their territories in East Africa are proceed
ing briskly. There has been no definite re-
suit as yet each side adhering firmly to its
original demands

Restoration of the Temporal Power

LONDON, Special. The threatened
PRONUNCIATION by the pope Of the dogma
that the temporal power of the pontiff, OF
which the church was deprived by the ad-
vent of Victor Emanuel into Rome in 1871,
is essential to the complete majesty
of the viceregent of Christ on earth
is the theme of discussion in Catholic cir
cles on the continent. The fact that the
Italian bishops opposed the promugation
of the dogma is not to be taken as evidence
of their belief that the occupant of the chair
of st. Peter should not be temporal as
we'll as a spiritual sovereign. TIE clergy
of Italy are placed in a position
et such peculiar. delicacy with
Egard to expression of opinion
on matters touching the relations Of the
church and the state that no positive declar-
alton of approval could be expected from
them, while the laity have long since fallen
into state of apathy as regards both pope
and king, owing to the unchanging condi-
ton of the antagonism between the Vat
lean and the Quirinal, which the lapse of
twenty years has not sufficed to mollity, or
even change in character. Nothing short
of overt hostilities between the Vatican
and the government can arouse the people

CAUGHTIN A SCHEME.
A Tramp Nearly Wrecks a Train In
Order to Secure a Reward


PORTLAND, Or, Special Telegram,
An attempt was made to wreck the Ia
coma-b bound Northern Pacific train
at Linton, seven miles north of
this city. The train was sud
denly tagged by tramp named
F. S. Taylor, who told strange story of an
encounter with train wreckers. He said
that while walking on the road to Portland
he saw three men piling old ties and fallen
trees high on the track. When they saw
him they pus pistol to his head and made
him take a seat on log and keep quiet
while they proceeded with their work
Their work SO e3grossed them that he man
aged to slip away unnoticed Just in time to
prevent terrible wreck. Taylor was taken
aboard the train and treated like prince.
He was sent back from Centralia to-day
and Sheriff Kelly took charge Of
him to get description of the wreokers,
Taylor claimed that he knew nothing about
the country, but he was so minute in his
details in describing the distractions piled
on tie track that hesheriff suspected some
thing. Finally, he turned to Taylor, saying:
"D-n you, you did this" Taylor wilted,
and confessed and told all. He said he
piled the stuff on the track and prevented
a wreck for the purpose of being richly re-
warded by the company. He was arrested
and Is now in jail here. There were 200
passengers on the train.

these outrages passed without the reproba-
ton oftJe e Russian government. Then had
been asked: ''WhY don't you denounce
these outrages in the house of commons?"
But he felt q scruple about asking the gov
ernment to take steps unless he could see
the way to a favorable result He desired
to see the law applied in his own land,
wherever cruelty and oppressionwere found.
He would be glad if the government was in
a position to expostulate with Russia, but
he feared that Russia might retort that a
country whose police ruthlessly shot inno-
cent Irish citizens engaged in public meet
ing, was hardly in position to dictate how
another country should treat its conviCts.

Crops in the Dakotas Look Better
Than For tho Last Two Years


HURON, s. d., Special Telegram,
Hon. B. F. Ives of st. Lawrence was here
to-day returning from tour of inspection
of the wheat district of North Dakota He
says that from Bottineau on the Manitoba
road, down through the Devils Lake region
and in the vicinity of Grand Forks
rains have prevailed and wheat looks
fine and prospects are encouraging as com.
pared with the same date last year. From
fifty miles above Fargo down to the South
Dakota line the outlook is less encouraging
than in some of the districts further north
and northwest. In the Red river valley
farmers have no reason to be discour-
aged; The season is somewhat back
ward, but early sown grain is in good
condition. That sown with press drifts is
far ahead OF that sown in ahy other way
The acreage is less than last year. The
present prospects, Mr. Ives says, are better
in the localities visited than at the same
time in the past three years, notwithstand-
ing much OF the late soWn grain has not
yet sprouted. Mr.. Ives will report to tho
St. Paul and Minneapolis boards of trade.
