The international monetary con-
ference, which adjourned to assem-
BILE in Brussels on the Both inst.
will not reassemble on that date.
The general feeling was expressed
by representative of the leading
powers that the end of May is not
a suitable time for recommending
the labors of the conference and
as a result a consult .tion was
held between the president, Sec
retary Gresham and some dele
gates of the United States recent
ly. 1t was determined to cable
the announcement that the re-
assembling of the conference
would be postponed until some
time next November. Governor
McCreary, of Kentucky, who is in
the city and who, as we'll as Sena-
tor Jones, of Nevada, will con-
tinue to serve upon the commits
sion, expresses much qualification
at the change Of date and believes
it will increase the prospect of the
conference accomplishing some
solid results.

A GREAT deal of fuss is being
made about the proposition to
stock the Willamette river with
black bass, one of the gamiest OF
fish known to anglers. Those who
are bowling against it may as well
hush up and save their wind, for
the mischief, if mischief it is, is al
ready done. In the month of No
vember last the United States Fish
Commission dumped into the Will
jamette river near Salem 500 lively
young bass, which in three or four
years will begin to make their
presence known. But in truth
there is no danger for alarm, even
granted that the black bass is Il
most voracious fish. The only fish
in the Willamette are chubs, suck
ers, carp and bull heads. The last
two named can burrow in the mud
and take care of themselves, and
even the Cinnamon will gladly eX-
change the first two for SO tooth
some a fish as the black bass.
There is no danger whatever to
the trout. The bass never go up
the cold mountain streams to the
spawning ground of the trout.
Speed the day when the bass are
as plentiful in The Willamette and
Columbia as are now the worth
less fish.-POrtland Chronicle.

Il RIFT-RAFT FLOOD.

The Telegram gives its opinion
on the subject of immigration, in
the following well-written article:
The floodgates of immigration
are open. Ten thousand Italians
have just departed from Marseilles
on eleven steamships, all of whom
will have reached New York in a
few days. This is only one lot.
How many more there are no one
on this side of the Atlantic seems
to know. This is a wretched state
of affairs, especially when it is re-
cognized that crowds of Immigrants
from other nations in just as great
quantities are Ell route or taking
passage. Careful investigation
shows that they are not a desira-
BILE class. Some few hundred in
each 10000 are worthy; the re
mainder foreign powers are glad
to send to our shores. After May
Sth there is some hope. All i'm
migrants leaving European or
other ports Oh and after that date
will be subjected to the new set of
questions asked by the new board
of inspectors. As these may be
more stringent than a good per
cent of these steerage rif-raff can
satisfactorily answer, the steam
ship companies are crowding their
quarters with anxious rabbIes, and
packing them over here like so
much rough and-tumble freight.
Probably not less than $4,000 inn
migrants will land in United States
ports during the two or three
weeks previous to May Sth. At

The amount of money that is annually

calities where farming is greatly run
down moro money is taken in during
the outing season than during all tho
rest of the year. To offset the fact that
this Is the harvest time OF the people who

MoNE' nuentS or the
upper Congo as we'll as the country lying
between them and has enabled the pro-
motors of the Congo Free State to COM
plete the map of their possessions
But it was at terrible cost. The Del
commune and Bia 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 Ba
died last August. Captain Stairs died
soon after reaching the coast. His COM
panion. Captain Bodson, was killed, as
were Captain Hakansson and his CON
tingent of - 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 we'll 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 affiuent. 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 1000 feet in 80
miles through Il great canyon much like
that of the Colorado
While Captain Delcommune traversed
the intermediate country Captain Bia

their course One of their most pleasant
duties was to present to Chief Chitambo

graphical society for his kindness in aid
ing the transportation of Livingstone's
body to the coast. They also set up the

ing 100000 tons and ,0O0, 900 passen-
gers yearly and that it would pay from
the start. The system of construction
Is to be the same as that of the famous
bridge over the Filth of Forth. The

all the difficulties interposed by govern
ment are now overcome the promoters
