A Steamship Line to Africa.

The first vessel of a new line between
the port of New York and sundry ports
of southern and eastern Africa has sailed
from here with a cargo of machinery,
merchandise and lumber. She is Brit
ish built, twin screw steamer of 5000
tons, well adopted to the trade in which
she is engaged. The British company to
which she belongs owns other steamers
of about the same power and tonnage,
and it is intended that vessel Of the line
shall leave this port every month Of the
year fer trading purposes.
- Worcester, which has just taken
parture, will first touch Africa at
-" Of Good Hope, and after entering
i.ad leaving the port of Cape Town will
proceed northward along the east coast
to Elizabeth, East London, Durham,
Delagoa bay. Mauritius and such other
places as may offer opportunities for
trade. The company which has estab-
lished the line is British, but its ships
are ready to transport such American
products, goods and wares as can be
marketed in eastern Africa and to bring
here upon the return trip such African
commodities as may be marketable in
this country.
We shall be very well pleased to get
some better share than we now have of
the African trade, which several Euro
pean countries are DESTROYS Of control
ling, and we shall be pleased to encour-
age the Castle company in its efforts to
enlarge the exchanges between the two
continents. We could wish that it were
an American company, that its ships
were American, and that its profits, if
there happen to be any, were to be di-
vided between this country and Africa.

A State without a Militia.

Delaware will soon be without state
militia. This condition of affairs has its
origin in the adverse action of the state
legislature as to an appropriation needed
for the support of the national guard in
that diminutive but prosperous COM
monwealth. AS soon as the legislature
defeated the militia bill every officer
and enlisted man in the admirable and
well disciplined little force voted to dis
band, and they are now engaged in car
rying their convictions to conclusion
that is. while personally creditable, most
discreditable to Delaware. 1t may even
prove to be dangerously announcement,
for the posse comitatus is not the power
it once was and, in fact, can but rarely
be assembled, much less depended upon.

KATE FIELD.

Miss Fields latest mission Is to accom-
plish the enfranchisement of her sex,
and she goes about it in characteristic
style She joined the woman's suffra-
gists in public and dramatic manner at
the wOman's congress in Chicago recent
". Miss Anthony was taken by sur
prise, but received the recruit with pride
and thanksgiving. Like many of Miss
Fields new departures, her action was
wholly without warning and astonished
her auditors. She said she was tired of
seeing uneducated foreigners coming
into tlRifs country and making our laws
and demanded 9Iual rights for Ameri-
can women. She safes that she never
advocated universal suffrage and never
believed in it. She favors "issastricted
suffrage based on education and ciarac-
ter. The suffrage belongs only to thrss
who have earned it."
Kate Field first distinguished herself
20 years ago as correspondent in Lon
don and Paris and has since had an ac-
tive and many sided career, with which
the reading public is reasonably famil-
Jar Her latest and not least successful
venture is the publication Of paper in
Washington. Concerning this enter
prise she says: "When 1 thought of es-
tablishing my magazine, looked about
and talked to some men. They wanted
so much that 1 asked one of them if he
would not take my watch. Just at this
time two Vassar girls came to me. They
said they had just sold paper which
they had bought for $212.50 at 81, 800. 1
said: We'll, girls, let us start together.

man. And do you know really think

Mr.. Kennap.. Serious Charge.

George KEENAN,, the Siberian traveller,
writing on the Russian extradition treaty
in The Forum, makes the startling as
sertion "on the highest authority" that
even now ''the Russian secret police at
st. Petersburg open and read the pri-
vate letters of the American minister
and the members Of the American lega-
ton" He adds significantly: sit seems
to me that government which makes a
practice of opening and reading not only
the private letters of its own subjects,
but the letters of the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of a friendly state, is not a
government upon whose honor it is safe
to rely in a question of extradition.'

10, 1889, and after considerable discus
sion adopted n plan of coalition that
seemed to promise better results than
could be achieved by the scattered
forces of the separate societies.
The new organization was called the
Epworth league in honor of the birth
place of John Wesley in Lincolnshire,
England. The plan of government
adopted for the subordinate chapters was
the same as had been in vogue with the
Oxford league, one Of the societies unit
ing to form the new organization, and
was known as the ''Ohio PLAN" or the
Cleveland plan" 1t was the invention
of Byron E. Holman of Cleveland, and
its adoption by the Epworth justly en-
titles him to the honor of being called
the father Of the league.
The plan divides the work of the chap
tiers into six departments - spiritual,
charitable, social, literary, correspond
ence and finance-and there Is vice
president in charge of each department.
The scheme is symbolized by what is
called the ''Epworth Wheel" the six
spolles representing the different depart
ments. The plan was found to work ex
cellently, and the rapid growth of the
league has been attributed TO its popu-
larity. The organization now has
membership of over 10000, With 10, 500
chapters scattered all over the world,
and with the junior league, especially
instituted for children, and of which
there are about 5000 chapters, it is prob
able there are now nearly I 600, 900 mem
bers entitled to wear the cross of the Ep-
worth league.
y conference of Representatives of such
a vast organization must be a great
event, and it is expected that more than
10000 delegates and visitors will be in
Cleveland to attend it. There will be
delegates from Is foreign nations and
colonies, besides large representation
from Canada. The programme that has
been prepared embraces a number of
topics of great interest to members OF
the league, and they Will be discussed by
the most eminent divines and laymen of
the Methodist church.

FRANKFORD

The excitement Of the terrible ac.
cident, which happened here last
week has so unnerved the employees
of the Diamond State Manufacturing
Company that it is quite difficult to
keep the business in operation. At
the time of the accindnt, men women
boys and girls were running up and
down stairs screaming and crying,
and all in such awful agony. The
engineer himself, stood with his hands
up and saw the poor man whirl
around the shaft several times before
he thought of stopping the engine.
Several who stood by and saw the
man whirled into eternity, can not
tell ANYTHING about it only that they
saw it. Mr.. Ebe d. Gray, who was
working in the packing room just
above, heard the man beating against
the ceiling and said he felt sure what
the noise was, but could not move.
One Of the men said, "a person
whose eyes have never witnessed
such a thing cannot imagine what an
awful feeling there is that passes
over him" The next day after Mr..
Fleetwood was killed, a little girl
was jumping rope, aud as the rope
went over her head it wrapped
around shalt and as quick as a flash
the rope was snatched from her hand.
There are great many who have
been working in this factory ever
since they have been large enough
todo anything and they have become
careless. No doubt if it had not
been for earelessness, Fleetwood
would have been a living man to day.

ohlef Justice Robinson Dead

Chief Justice A. P. Robinson died
of heart disease at 1 O'Clock Tuesday
morning. He returned from Will
mington on Monday night where he
had that day delivered before the
court a handsome eulogy of his late
predecessor Chief Justice Comegys.
At1l o'clock p. M, previous to his
death, he was with his friends, and
made no complaint Of illness or in
disposition, but at ! o'clock he was
dead. Death resulted from diseased
valves OF the heart and was almost
instantaneous.
The members of his family said
that during the evening he had ap-
peared more cheerful and talkative
than usual and did not retire until a
late hour. After retiring he COM
planned again Of the pain in his side,
and seemed restless, but after lit
tie time he became quiet.
His wife, however, noticed his
heavy and strange breathing, and
tried to arouse him. Finding she
could not arouse him she at once
sent for DR.. G. R. Layton, who ar
rived in about ten minutes, but too
late, for the Chief Justice was dead.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Feb. q, 1898.
The President is not loosing any
sleep because Of the failure of the
Senate to ratify the treaty provid-
inc for the annexation OF Hawaii,
and Of the report that nearly one
half Of the Senate is opposed to its
ratification, some of them-mostly
republicans-because they doubt the
wisdom Of immediate annexation,
believing a protectorate preferable;
and others-mostly democrats-be-
cause they do not wish the credit Of
acquiring the islands to 90 to the
republican administration Mr.. Har-
rison has done what he conceived to
be his duty in negotiating the treaty
and in sending a message to the
Senate recommending that it be i'm
mediately ratified. When that was
done the responsibility was trans
ferred from him to the Senate, and
there he is willing to leave it. Mr..
Cleveland may not have taken hand
in this business, but the sudden
change Of mind among the demoera-
tic Senators, some OF whom were
only a few days ago clamOring for
prompt action, is to say the least
suspicious. Some people, but your
