the first colored State fair ever held in South

Belief That He VIII Seize Emin'S Old
Province I'm Behalf OF Germany.
BERLIN, Jan. 1.-The three letters that
have Just been received from DR.. Peters and
Lieut.. Tiedmann make It evident that their
large expedition Is now far west OF Mount
Kenia. and that they no longer have anything
TO fear from the hostility either OF the Somali
or the Nasal at last accounts they were be-
tween Kenia and Lake Baringo. They have
thus accomplished more than half of the dis
tance between the coast and Emin Pashas
province. and no reason is known why they
should not safely reach the Nile.
The news has created much excitement
among all who are backing German interests
In Africa. The expedition has large amount
Of ammunition and is otherwise splendidly
equipped. and with Peterss energy. and ambi;;
tion It Is deemed entirely probable that he Will
attempt to take possession OF the province In
behalf Of German interests. The region was
not Included In the treaty between Great Brit
ain and Germany defining their respective
spheres OF Influence, and 1t Is not believed the
Mahdists have o suffcent force In the prov
ince to prevent Peters from doing as he pleases.
The departure OF Emln gives Peters his oppor-
tunity, and everybody Is speculating as TO
what he will do with It.
