DIR. Carl Peters Scores the Great Afri-
can Explorer.
New YORK, Aug. 2l.-Dr. Carl Peters,
the African explorer, talking today
about Stanley, made some severe COM
ments on that gentlemsn's way OF
treating his fellow travellers. "Stanley
lived on good food himself" said Dr..
Peters, land allowed his men to live as
the negroes did. French missionaries
told me they visited Stanley's camp at
Usumbrir and saw Stanley sitting at the
head OF the table, eating European diet
and drinking claret, while Emin Pasha
and other members of the party ate me-
groes' diet and drank water. Some OF
the white men OF the party had to aban.
don their tents and sleep in the open
air, 30 that Stanley's wine could be
taken along.
Il was also told by one OF the mis-
sionariea that when one of Stanley's
companions had fever and was unable
to go on, Stanley took horsewhip and
fogged him, saying: If my white men
fall down, what will the negroes do p"
Peters had much more to say in the
same vein. He is inclined to the belief
that Emin Pasha is still living.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21.--Judge Nc
Kenna today decided the injunction pro-
.ceedings of the Southern Pacific rail-
road against the city of Oakland to
prevent interference with the railroad q

joined from interfering with the railroad

everything must remain in the same

more of the machinists in
Armour's will join the strikers
in q day or two, and the strikers en-

citizens to begin the construction OF
some reform hospital within the city
limits, this work to be done by unem-
ployed laborers, and to be paid for from
the county funds, did not meet with ap-
proval, and hence the work will NOS be
done at present. The city trustees to-
night decided to accept the
proposition of several philanthro-
pic gentlemen to give employment
to men from the free labor bureau,
Squads OF 30 will be organized, and after
working two hours cleaning the streets.
all will be given tickets for three meals.
This will prove great blessing, as the
list OF unemployed at the bureau has
reached nearly 700, and still growing.
A secret meeting of raisin-growers was
held this afternoon, at which about 200
growers and employers were present.
They were In session about
two hourss and before they adjourned
adopted rate to be paid for labor dur
ing this pack, and agreed to give prefer
ence to white men. The price agreed
upon was 70 cents q day and board, or
$l.l5 without board. As the Chinese
contractors are holding out for 81 40. the
big cut made by the growers is quite
significant. Nearly 100 white men we're
taken out to the vineyards this after
noen to work for six bits and board.
No more trouble lie anticipated, but in
view OF the threats made the chief Of
police applied to the city trustees to-
night for additional officers. He was
given carte blanche to employ any and
all men he might see at. About rs
