MINE. fiuents of the
upper Congo as well as the country lying
between them and has enabled The pro-
motors of me Congo Free State to cont
plete the map of their possessions.
But it was ~ terrible cost. The Del
commune and Bin expedition traversed
an immense region where. owing to
devastating wars, the natives had plant
ed no crops for TWO or three years, and
general famine prevailed. Captain Bia
died last August. Captain Stairs died
soon after reaching the coast. His COM
panion, Captain Bodson, was killed. rs
were Captain Hakansson and his con-
tingent of 1s men, and of the total COM
pany nearly half died of fatigue and
starvation. Their most important dis
covery perhaps is that the great prov
ince Of katanga, which lies 5000 or
5000 feet above sea level, is remarkably
fertile and healthful for Europeans and
contains valuable gold mines as well as
copper deposits, which were evidently
worked many centuries ago.
The true source Of the Congo was
found to be in the highlands near Lake
Tanganyika. Thence flows the river
Chambesi into Lake Bangueolo, and out
of that lake runs the main head of the
Luapula, which, says Captain Delcom
mune, is the Congo, being twice as large
as its largest afiluent. For nearly three
years he has been exploring that region.
and various supposed streams and lakes
are henceforth to be omitted from the
map and the real ones substituted. In
getting down from its highland sources
the Lualaba, main tributary OF the Lua-
pula. or Congo. descends 1900 feet in 30
miles through a great canyon much like
that O. the Colorado.
While Captain Delcommune traversed
the Intermediate country Captain Bia
stuck 10 the streams and mapped out
their course. One OF their most pleasant
duties was TO present to Chief Chitambo
the presents sent by the Royal Geo
graphical society for his kindness in aid .
ing the transportation of Livingstone's
body to the coast. They also set up the
tablet furnished by Livingstone's daugh-
ter at the place where her fathers heart /
was buried.

Another Joke.

All Floridians have heard of the
little joke perpetrated by a Chicago
paper and widely copied in refer
ence to the blood orange and how
it was made. The paper in ques-
ton said that the blood of rats was
injected under the rind of the or
ange which caused the bloody
bletches in the fruit.
a Warren (Pa.), paper comes 10
the front now with q story of the
navel orange and tells in the fol-
lowing wise manner why this or
ange has no seed:
" Probably few people who eat
the delicious navel or seedless Or
anges sold in Warren stop to con-
slider that the absence of seeds
proves the orange has been subject
ed to an operation. tits fact how
ever. Long before the fruit ripens,
and while quite young. the inside
Of the orange Is pulled out through

replaced and the orange thrives,
growing large and handsome and
very sweet and juicy. The wound
at the end heals. but does not

sorEs AND COMMry1&

The Diocesan Magazine for Sep
TENDER was received last Saturday.
Eight columns Of the number are
taken up with correspondence re
lating to the unfortunate church
quarrel which has been going on
for several years between the
Bishop OF Honolulu and the second
congregation Of the cathedral. The
bishop takes the pains to inform
his readers editorially why the
Diocesan Magazine is royalist. Per
haps what the bishop intended to
explain was why his magazine is
ex-royalist-there is no royalty in
Hawaii today, and unless the man
" independence Of the bone and
sinew1 of the islands Is suddenly
snuffed out, and the lessons learned
Of western civilization are totally
extinguished by some improbable
intellectual or political cataclysm,
such as has been recorded occa-
sionally in the worlds history,
there is absolutely no chance for
restoration. Should the improb-
able happen. il viii be time for our
political friend, the bishop, to ex-
plain his views, which at present
only cause him to be laughed at.
The bishop seems to lose sight of
the fact that the Provisional
government has been recognized
by the United States, which IS
everything, and by the rest Of the |
powers, which Is acquiescence in
the stand taken by Uncle Sam. |
It therefore cuts little figure /
whether the bishop acknowledges
the Provisional government or not. |
The fact that 3 majority Of the
second congregation endorses an
nexation carries more weight with |
il. Il Is just possible the bishop is
at present as unpopular in politics
as he has been for years in reli-
gion.

event of interest to the people
last week. The warship is the
biggest vessel that has ever

Importance it does not exceed
our list of enterprises in
introducing to the peo-
pie of Honolulu the means
OF painting and generally
identifying their homes at a
very slight cost. Painters who
have used other mixed paints
say that ''Hendry's Ready
Mixed" excel them in every
particular. Ours will cover a
large surface and present a
finer finish than any other
sold here. 1t is made eS-
pecially for US by a San Fran
cisco firm and guaranteed to
contain more Japan and more
oxide of zinc than the average
ready mixed paint. People
who have watched the changes
made in the front of our store
have noticed what a free
.spreader the paint is. We
have all the shades necessary
for inside and outside work.

FOR The WORD "G0!"

Everything is ready for the presi-
dent to issue his proclamation
opening the Cherokee strip to settle
ment. The last formalities were
complied with few days ago,
when Chief Bushyhead, of the
Cherokee nation notified the gen.
eral land Office that the Cherokees
had selected their allotments.
Each Cherokee is entitled to eighty
acres at the same price that settlers
are required to pay.
The regulations which govern
the opening of the strip will differ
materially from those under which
Oklahoma was thrown open to the
public on April %, 1889. The SER
vice of the United States marshals
will be dispensed with, and the war
department has received orders
to send troops enough to
the strip to preserve the peace
and see that the regulations
are carried out. Cavalry is now
reported to be moving forward to-
ward the strip from Forts Supply
and Reno.
A neutral strip one hundred feet
wide will be drawn along the Kan
sas and Oklahoma sides of the
lands to be opened, and on the day
of opening homesteaders and sett-
lers will be allowed to come within

The arrests reported by Sheriff
Wilcox made in the Wainiha
valley last Friday are highly com
mended by the authorities. It is
the belief of members of the board
of health the present peaceable sur
render Of the lepers, who, after the
death Of Sheriff Stolz, congregated
in Wainiha valley, has been
brought about, partially al least,
by the reports of the kind treat
ment and comfort experienced at
the settlement by those taken from
Kalalau at the time Of the Koolau
trouble. The firm stand taken by
the government in the enforcement
of the segregation law has also
had much TO DO with the present
surrender. Since the Provision
al government began segregation
as provided by the law, that had
for years been 8 dead letter under
the monarohy, the lepers have
learned the comforts and seolusion
Of Molokai are preferable to the
OutlaWry and hardships Of the in
accessible gulches of farther Kauai.
The native policemen who have
successfully executed the law in
this instance are deserving of the
greatest praise. and the action Of
policeman Kakina, who led the
posse making the arrests, including
that of his own unfortunate leper
daughter. shows that he has per-
formed his official duty under cir
