some Things Professor Garner Found Out
on His African Trip.
NEW YORK, March 27.-Professor
Richard l.. Garner, whose efforts to
learn the language which he avows be-
longs to the gorilla and chimpanzee,
and which has earned for him the
pseudonym Of the "Monkey Man." re-
turned from his Investigations in Africa
on the Etruria. The professor said his
journey had been an absolute succese.
II left here, said he, Gin July. 1899.
After considerable difficulty in securing
funds and making preparations for the
journey, I got away from Liverpool in
the following December. I went through
the lake regions enough to get informa-
ton about the animals, the inhabitants,
conditions Of the country, etc, for my
purpose. After this journey I returned
to Lake Feran Vaz, through which I
prssed on the way back. There T found
a suitable place to erect my cage. The
cage consisted of a network of steel
rods five-sixteenths of an inch thick.
My effects consisted of household uten-
slls, two revolvers, one magazine rifle.
one air gun and hollow arrows filled
with prussic acid, which I discharged
with a blowgun. The best safeguard
had wa a device of my own invention.
1t was a bag like a large canteen filled
with concentrated ammonia, to which
was attached a hose 80 inches long with
a nozzle, through which I could force
the fumes Of the ammonia, which would
s~uffocate a gorilla 10 feet away.
II saw a great many gorillas. I think
I can safely say more than any other
white man living. My position was
such that gorillas would come very
close and I could sit silently and study
every detail of movement and expires.
sion.
"Many things which have read before
and since my researches in magazine
articles and natural history about the
gorilla are fiction.
The Chimpanzee Language.
Il have learned not more than six OF
eight words of the chimpanzee language.
These l cannot give you, for they are
not amenable to any known etymology
or photography. I cannot pronounce
them. I think there are about 40 or &c
words or utterances in their language,
"The gorillas are at maturity when
they reach the age of 8 or 10 years.
They do not build houses and are not
carnivorous, but ominorous. Theil
vocal organs are almost exactly like
those of man. They are not nearly Sc
vicious as described. When they would
approach my cage they would take one
peep and turn away wholly uncon

Wait For Breckinridge.

WASHINGTON. March 21.-Congress-
man Fletcher's bill to reimburse the
state Of Minnesota for moneys paid for
arms during the Indian wars, which
now lies in the treasury, will not come
up until Congressman Breckenridge has
settled his breach Of promise case. The
Kentucky statesman is chairman of the
subcommittee to which this bill has
been referred, but he is now too busy to
attend to anything except his own af-
fairs.

Early Fruit Kuled.

CHICAGO, March 27.-The cold wave
has reached this point, bringing with it
a decided drop in the temperature and
showfalls varying from occasional light
furries to quite heavy storms. At Mus
coutah and Anna, Ills, the thermome-
ter dropped from Is to 20 degrees, doing
great damage to early fruits and vege-
tables. All fruit is killed at Alton,
where the thermometer fell from u to
20 degrees. At Decatur there was a
heavy fall of snow, which is drifting
badly. Throughout Indiana the same
conditions prevail.

BETTER OUTLOOK.
Henry Clews & Co., the New York
Flnanciers, Send Ont a Very Eli
c0uraging Report.
There Are Many Signs Which Go to
Show That the Country Is Leav-
ing Disaster Behind,
Though the Recovery Will Probably
Be Slow and Spasmodic-Some
Of the Signs.

NEW YORK, March 27.-Henry Clews
& Co.'s financial report says:
There are many good and sufficient
reasons for taking a cheerful position
regarding the future of the, stock mar
ket. A few of them may be briefly
enumerated a follows:
First-Confdence is certainly reviv-
ing. Business is slowly but surely
emerging from the distress brought on
by the silver crisis and g%rievously pro-
longed by tariff agitation. Stocks of
merchandise have become so exhausted,
with few exceptions, by prolonged cur
tailment of production, that universal
resumption at the mills will be impera-
tive as soon as the tariff fright is over.
Outside Of the tariff question, the man
uf~acturing situation is exceptionally
favorable.
Second-Easy money is assured for
months to come. Rates are extraordi-
narily low, and there are no immediate
prospects Of better rates.
Third-There is a scarcity of good
railroad investments in Europe, distrust
of u currency system having caused a
heavy return of both stocks and bonds.
When this distrust is removed, as
doubtless it soon will be, a marked re-
vival in the European demand for
Americans will inevitably follow.
Fourth-Ia event of any pronounced
revival at home or abroad in the de-
mand for railroad Investments, the sup
ply would be found inadequate to the
demand; for railroad building in the
United States has not, for five years
past, kept pace with the growth of in
dustry and population.
Fifth-The 1ndustrials have not been
a success as investments. Even as
speculations they have caused greater
proportionate losses to venturesome OPP
orators than railroads. Unquestionably
recent experiences with this class of in
vestments will lead to a reaction in
favor of railroad stocks and bonds.
Sixth-Several immense properties
are still undergoing the process of reor-
ganization, the first effect of which will
be to greatly strengthen the railroad
situation.
Seventh-Decreases in earnings are
otOouAAy SAOWAuS SuAd11oI, d1u Uuc edrL-
ing power of the roads soon promises to
expand from the revival of trade. BY
great economies, chiefly for renewals
and Improvements, net earnings have
been remarkably wei! sustained, and
the fears of reduced dividends, which
warranted the early decline in values,
are slowly disappearing.
Eighth-Small gold shipments have
occurred thus far, and at the moment
no heavy outflow seems probable.
This summary of favorable argu.
ments need not be extended further.
Arrayed against them them there is lit.
tie but lack of purchasing ability to pre-.
vent q rapid rise in values. These are
obstacles which cannot be overcome
without time for recuperation, conse.
quently the improvement must be slow
and irregular. The tide has certainly
turned and we are already leaving dis.
aster behind.

THE MESSAGE.

The message sent in by the president
yesterday, the fret day Of the second
session of the Fifty-fourth congress, is
an excessively long and exhaustive
document. In the main It is states
manlike document, remarkable alike
for what it recommends and for what 1t
ignores, The sore-hearted vest looked
anxiouslY for some word of encourage
ment for the silent and discouraged
silver interests, but alas, no word es-
capped the presidential lips which
can be tortured into ENCOURAGEMENT.
So, so far as silver is con erned, we
may as well take leave OF it until there
is complete change in the executive
policy of the nation. The foreign
policy outlined by the president is
vigorous, comprehensive and manly
1t covers all the leading policies likely
to interest the country and which are
familiar to the people. The president
speaks of the production of the ''prec-
cious metals This seems a melan-
choly jibe at silver, reduced by the
policy of the government to the posi-
ton of base and dishonored metal
leaving gold alone as the one
metal worthy TO be called
precious" The army is dwelt upon
at length. The main features of the
message under this head is that the
rank and file amounts to $4,000 men.
The use of the army in the
late strikes is illustrated and defended,
and very successfully too, we think.
The president strongly favors the on
couragement of the organization of the
militia forces of the states. There is
no feature of the message more COM
mendable than this. 1t is all import
ant that the military spirit of the peo-
pie be encouraged and fostered In
every way. We are glad that this mat
ter has at last attracted the presiden'
tial notice. There is little pardonable
glorifcation over the condition Of oul
navy. Indeed the government has
much to justify the gloriication of the
president under this head. We have
now the foundations laid upon per
manent basis for first-class naval es
tablishment. The government has GER
tainly no more important interest tC
care for than this.
The recommendations of the secretary
of the interior on the subject of public
lands are generally sound save in tn,
matter of the mineral lands of tn,
west, and this from an entire ignoring
of the subject altogether. The Ii
dians come in for considerable atten
ton. The president acknowledges tha
the condition OF the aborigines is no
what it was once, or what il should be
We dissent from His Excellency'S con
clueions as to the worth of the princi
pie of civil service reform. We hav
looked honestly for these great ant
valuable results, but we are< frank t
say we have never been able ito dis
cover them. What the party lose
in strength is not compensated for b,
the actual advantage of the seryic
from general, or non-partisan stand
point. Indeed civil service reform a
we see it worked out in the daily busi
ness of the governments lis very decides
and glaring humbug.
The president strongly recommend
some tariff amendments. We wish W
could say as much for his soundnes
on financial and commercial policies
The document is very lengthy, muc
too much so for THE DISPATCH to thin
of reproducing.
