Village on the Congo-Traveling in a
Hammock Map of stanley's Route
Across the Continent.
The great canoes of Tippoo Tbs fiotilla are
from 60 to 100 feet in length. In construc-
ton they are mere dugouts made from the
trunks of trees followed out by AK and fire.
They have strength enough to sustain the
stress OF passing the rapids in the Congo, and
carry immense quantities of goods stored
away underneath the awning of kanika cloth.
The flotilla of Tippoo lib is commanded by
Arabs, but manned by native slaves. The
Arabs have navigated the Congo for many
years, and by friendly alliances with the
fisher tribes of natives have become in a sense
the maaters of navigation on the great water
way of Central Africa.

Schenley Parks baby elephant arrived in the
city yesterday afternoon over the Pennsylvania
Railroad, and was given reception that must
have knocked its ideas of the jungles of India
silly and deeply impressed it with the beauties
and adornments of civilization. The youngster
was met at the station by brass band and a
large crowd of people and escorted up Third
avenue to Gusky's and from there to Fifth
avenue to the market house. All along the
line of march the baby was greatly admired
particularly as it was known that 1t had come
to take bed and board with Pittsburgers as a
steady thing. The little stranger showed the
wear and tear of the long ocean voyage and the
final journey on the cars. Its hide hung loosely
on its anatomy, but it had the calm and patient
look of its kind upon its face and part way
down the trunk. At the market house it was
received with open arms by Superintendent
Mcknight and Hockey, and the former was seen
to brush away tear as he observed
pet had braved the hardships of the journey.
His coat sleeve came into play once more as he
remarked to Hockey that it must have been
mighty tough to tear the little creature away
from its parents and home surroundings of
royal feed was given the new arrival
Gusky, as the baby will be known in the fu-
ture, arrived in New York on Saturday last via

Mr.. De Wolf is very proud of the young ivory
producer, and says that if he was not already
in business he thinks he could make quite a hit
in cultivating the finer qualities and tastes of
these animals, that, taking their chances of
moral and mental advancement and early edu-
cation into consideration, rank among the most
intelligent of the brute creation.

containing the information that the meetings
have been anything but harmonious.
The trouble seems to have originated from
MIR: Powderly's effort to draw the order into
politics, and the discussion drew in M. H. But
Ter, of Harrisburg, who helped Powderiy TO
hustle for Pattison for Governor and A. M.
Dewey, the ex-editor of the journal and
James Campbell, of Pittsburg, both OF whom
worked for Delamater. 1t is said that a whole
the revolt against Mr.. Powderly was very open
Mr., Powderly's ideas in regard to the lorna
tion of a new political organization are also
creating great dissatisfaction among the local
Knights.
: An ex-Master Workman of d. A, 8 said yes
terday: 1T will not be of any benefit to take
the order into politics. The majority OF the
members are Democrats any way, and II the
order goes into any PARTY 1t will ne the DEM
ocratic party. This will drive the Republicans
out and the organization will lose influence"
The feeling over the defeat Of John Costello
for appointment on she General Executive
Board Is intense. His downfall is considered as
a slap at the labor interests in western Penn-
sylvania, and particularly with the miners, with
whom he worked for many years, and who were
