Three Foes Of France.

France has finally overcome tho last OF
the three powerful foes who so long con-
tested inch by inch her progress In the Sene-
gal and Niger regions. The Sultan ANNA
DoU has lost his stronghold Moro In the
large district OF Kaarta, north OF the Sene-
gal River, has been deserted by his panic
stricken army, and has fled into the Jungle
with only few scoro OF the many hundreds
OF horsemen who fought bis battles. The
story OF Francois advance up the Senegal
River and across the divide to tho Niger, in
spite Of fanatical foes who fought with
desperate energy, is one OF the llveliest
records OF African enterprise. In spite of
these three native rulers. France built
fort at Bammako on tho Niger, launched
the steamboat which made its famous Jour.
ney to Timbuctoo. pushed on her railroad
above the head of navigation on tho Sene-
gal, and advanced her colonies with one
hand, while with the other she was fighting
armies OF Mohammedan fanatics.
The most powerful OF these native rulers
was SAMoRY, whose territory, southeast OF
the French possessions. was the first, about
four years ago, to completely succumb to
the French. SAMORY. once the terror OF tho
upper Niger, Is now the vassal OF France.
and his country Is under her protection.
Then followed. three years ago, the remark
able expedition OF Col GALLIENI against
the Mnrabout LAMINE, who had conquered
large region between the Senegal and the
Gambia Rivers. Pretending that he was
the servant OF the Prophet, chosen to con.
vert the world to the true faith, he inspired
many thousands with belief In his religious
pratensions. and became Frances most for
midable enemy. The expedition OF GAL
LIENI hauled cannon through the wilder
ness. crossed a large country that was
entirely unknown, conquered and decap-
itated the Marabout. and thoroughly subiu-
gated his country No military expedition
was ever more fruitful in its scientific re-
suits, for some very interesting discoveries
were made, and great deal Of detail was
added to the maps.
At that time the Sultan AHMADou, whose
enormous territory lies between the river
Senegal. the Niger. and the tribes bordering
the Sahara. pretended to bs friendly to
France. In 1887 he made treaty OF peace
with his old enemies II was not long. how
ever, before he violated his promises and
began once more the policy he and the other
Sultans had SO long pursued OF attacking
the French every time they made an ad-
vance. Since then war has waged between
AHMApoU and the French forces Last year
the French captured his gr.,t stronghold
SeSu on the Niger which WIS surrounded
by Il high wooden wall. Tho French had
passed this place on the river and. In their
opinion IL could not be taken cave by bonn

Tho History Of . Newspaper.

II Is announced that the Star newspaper
pf this city has passed into new hands, that
i will bo completely changed In character,
and that 1t will receive tho new and noble
name OF the Daily Continent. The past is to
be wiped out and 1t Is to begin afrcsh, after
long, very remarkable, and altogether dis
Astrous history.
In 1867. when THE Sun came under Its
present ownership tho new editor informed
those who were working on tho paper that
he desired them to remain in their places on
their old salaries. and he was surprised when
they replied that, fearing dismissal. they
had made arrangements to get out paper
of their own. Accordingly. THE Sun went
on without their assistance, and We may
add, without suffering from their sudden
and rather extraordinary departure.
On the same morning that THE SUN ar-
peared under tho present editor the Star also
made Its entry as new aspirant in the field
Of Journalism. Its object was to arI eal 10
the workingmen more especially, and its
projectors were sangulne that II would win
