'rhe Sources Of tho Nile.

The news that EMIN Pasha has discovered
the ultimate sources OF the Nile has appeared
in DR.. Won DANCKELMANNs MitteilunOen.
This learned geographer Is now publishing
letters describing the recent journey Of
EMrN and DR.. STUHLMANN from Victoria
Lake to Albert Nyanza, a journey on which
is founded tho charge that EM1N has de-
serted the German service and returned to
his old province.
The letters thus far published describe
EM1N's journey westward in February last
across o region hitherto untraversed by ex-
plorers to the upper course OF the Kagera
River. The map appearing with these let
ters shows many little lakes and fills with
details large blank on our maps.
It was after EMIN left the upper Kagera
River. still pursuing his journey westward.
that he made the important discovery
which DR.. DANCKELMANN briefly mentions.
Tho details OF this discovery are promised
in later letters. All that is now known is
that from sixty to seventy-tive miles west
Of the nearest route followed by previous
explorers, river known as the Kifu has
been discovered. Its course to the north is
not far from the boundary line between the
Congo State and the German possessions.
The explorers say it rises in Uhha. q coun-
try lying near the northeast coast Of Tan
ganyika. II that is the case. the river ex-
tends north from 200 to $50 miles. They
add that it empties into tho Albert
Edward Lake. and it ia presumed
that the explorers followed its course
to that body Of water. the mystery sur
rounding which was dispelled by STANLEY
on his last journey across Africa. Geogra-
pliers had long debated whether this lake
was tributary to the Nile or the Congo:
STANLEY proved that its waters feed the
Nile. II the Kifu rises in Uhha it is un-
| dbubtedly the longest tributary OF Lake
Albert Edward; for the Victoria Nyanza ba-
sin on the east and the Congo-Tanganyika
basin on the west give no opportunity in
those directions for equally important trib-
utaries OF Lake Albert Edward. There Is
also strong probability that the Kifu is
| the ultimate source OF the Nile.
We know Of no tributary Of the Victoria
Nyanza reaching SO far south as the sup
| posed source Of this new-found river. STAN
LEY believed he had found the fountain
head Of the Nile in the Shimeeyu River in
80 south latitude. But We know to-day OF
no river SO far south that is tributary to
Victoria Nyanza. Its feeders rising furth-
est south. as far as we know, are the 'Isanga
and the Wami rivers; and neither appears
to be a very important stream.
| II later news substantiates our present
information. there will be good reasons for
believing that the fountain head OF. the Kifu
River is the ultimate source OF the Nile, and
that the question which has exercised the
geographers Of many centuries is solved at
last: and the important geographical fact
will be established that at least four-ffths
OF the country between Victoria Nyanza on
the east and Lakes Albert Edward and
Tanganyika on the west belong to the Nile
and not to the Congo basin.

democratic Claim on q Poll OF the State

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
1SD1ASAPoLIs, IND, Nov. 1.-The closing
week of the campaign in Indiana shows both
sides working very hard, and each with ap-
parent confidence Of success. There are
speeches every night in almost every voting
precinct in the state and the central commit
tees are sending out secret circulars to local
workers instructing them what to do. Both
sides are hustlipg for campaign funds with
great vigor Just now for use on election day,
not necessarily to buy votes, but to pay
legitimate expenses and to hire men
to work on election day. The latter evil,
which is nothing but a species of black
mail, has grown to enormous proportions
in Indiana during the last few years. In almost
every precinct there are men who at every
election, openly demand paw for their alleged
service at the polls, and they get it. for the
party managers are afraid TO refuse them.
Theirs is a palpsble case Of the laborer not
being worthy of his hire for such men, whose
merceuary motives are we'll understood, do
not exert much influence. The result Of it all
is that the committees think it vitality necessary
to have large fund on hand for use on election
day, without which defeat must surely come
Both the democrats and republicans here are
and have been with scarcely enough money to
pay for Office help and distributing documents
Within the past week the republicans have re-
ceived considerable money from the east and
are expecting much more within few DAYS.
The democrats have not been so fortunate and
have no great expectations. Both sides are
claiming everything in sight. but back of it all
there is absolutely no real confidence
The democrats will have complete
poll of the state for the first time
in fifteen years by tomorrow night
1t will show democratic plurality
of about 10 600 But the leaders are not relv-
ing entirely upon it. The republican mana
gers say their poll shows a satisfactory republi-
can plurality, but will give no details. In the
opinion Of conservative, well-informed men,
Cleveland is more likely to carry Indiana than
Harrison

been enthusiastic party workers and would
labor necessarily for the party and it's candI-
dates we're apathetic. We have succeeded in

ION THE VERGE OF WAR"

General of the Army.

An Additional Report by the Inspector
General of the Army.
The inspector general of the army today sub
mitted to the War Department an additional
report Of the operations of his department in
connection with that already rendered TO the
major general commanding the army. Under
the head Of "Flurries the report dwells at length
upon the activity of the army the past year and
the valuable services rendered by 1t to the
country. At one time. the report asserts, the
country seemed to be upon the verge of war,
which served to show, according to the report.
the eagerness with which all Americans were
ready to resent indignities inflicted upon those
upon whom We have imposed the duty Of pro-
tecting the flag. When war seemed
inevitable. it continues, the response
of the people to a call not yet made. but an
ticipated, for men was something thoroughly
gratifying. These tenders Of regiments Of
men came spontaneously from all sections of
the country, Texans being perhaps the first TO
offer their services in rallyiug around the old
flag in defense of the national dignity. In
south and north alike the spirit of patriotism
was equally enthusiastic.
Still these episodes show. the report states.
that we can never know how soon we may be
called upon to fight, and demonstrate
most decisively how necessary it is al
ways to be prepared to meet such emer-
gencies The CARA trouble, it holds emphasizes Q
mistake made in defining the boundary line at
the treaty of Guadaioupe Hidslgo. which was
pointed out by military men at the time. We
could have manned the mountains TO the south
Of the Rio Grande. So. with q small force at

truders out of the country. it says.
The report pays great attention to the an
nual inspection and instruction Of the National
duard and the work accomplished by il. Be-
lief is expressed by the report that the most

Uneasiness Among Democrats - b the
General Result.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
New YORK, Nov. 1t IL now pretty well
settled that Cleveland will make two or three
speeches in his own behalf this week. The an
nouncement is made in semi-official form that
he will make one speech in New Jersey, his
native state, and one. as already promised in
New York city. Whether the effort to get him
to speak in Connecticut and Delaware or In
diana will be successful is doubt
ful. The democrats still keep up q
good showing of confidence regarding New
York. but are taking very few bets on the
general result. Much of the $40. 900 offered at
81 900 to 500 Cleveland CARRYING New
York still stands untaken, and Of the $50 900 Of
fered on Harrison's election on the stock ex-
change yesterday very little has been yet taken.
MIR. Croker Of Tammany Hall is quoted to-
day as saying that he thinks the vote in New
York may fall off as much as per cent below
the registration, which is considerably more Of
falling off than usual
Congressman O'Nein Of Pennsylvania was
here and made brief call on Chairman Carter
| today, and Col. Jim 4. Young of Philadel-
phia was also here He expresses confidence
| in Harrison's election, but says he is puzzled
about New York.
Frank Richardson Of the Baltimore Sun is
here from the rainbow states" and he says
Is going to be the result
Talk about the western states has mostly dis
appeared. The Washington correspondent Of
one Of the most prominent democratic papers
in the east has just returned from a long and
careful tour in the so-called doubtful western
states, and tells me he doesn't think
the republicans will lose any of them
except Indiana, which he believes will
be democratic. Regarding the general
result, he said. he was unable to make up his
mind. "rd like to do So, said be. "Yor l want
| to make some money on the result. but l really
can't decide in my mind what the general re-
suit is going to be-"
The managers at both headquarters are in
close and constant consultation. Senator Cor
man was at democratic headquarters today, as
well as COL Lamont, who is giving much at
tention to the fight now.
Much Of the newspaper talk Of enormous
campaign funds must be discredited, yet there
Is no doubt that both sides are well supplied
with funds
