ing barge, Lady Alice The Lady Alice was
built in England from Stanley's designs,
She was constructed of Spanish cedar and
divided into five sections, each eight feet
long, and could be further subdivided for
ease in portage overland. The only white
men uf the party besides Stanley were three
novices in rough adventure, Frank and Ed
ward PococlI, stalwart fisher lads from the
coast of Kent, and Frederick Barker, a ro-
mantle young hotel clerk of London.
When the adventures reached Zanzibar
they were met with the tidings of Living
stones death in the heart of Africa, and
Stanley at once turned to exploring the
lakes supposed to be the sources of the Nile.
Two years were passed in exploring Veto
ria Nyanza and Albert Nyanza. He cir.
cumnavigated both lakes, transporting the
Lady Alice from one to the other and from
river to river, as he crossed the country, on
the backs of natives. The barge was in
every way equal to the hopes of her desi ign
err. and after looking over and abandoning
many projects for return to civilization
Stanley and Frank pocock. the survivors
of the original four, decided to try to
make the sea by trip down the mysterious
river flowing through the region where
Livingstone had passed his closing years
No white man had fathomed the secret OF
its course and outlet and lived to tell of 1T,
and no native could be found who would
say more than that it flowed on and on for
ever to the sea. But its waters rolled
throughout vast territories teeming with
savage peoples, and Stanley looked upon it
as a roadway to carry him on his course
and reveal the wide inner continent in all
its darkness. The Lady Alice, an element

the enterprise. was finally launched on the
water in December, 1876. The Arab com
pany, under ISppu lib, had abandoned the
trip in spite of the enormous sums offered
them to continue, and other trained natives
of Stauley's own crew deserted.
The river had some terror for those who
knew it far better than the white men
terror which no amount of treasure could
spirit away. Stanleys party, when left tt
itself, numbered l49 people-men, womer
and children. The natives Travelled in thei1

MIR. Harris before he died. relative to
the general appearance of the mAn who
assaulted him. Mrs. Harris denied
having said to Mrs. Brown that the men
who Killed ;her husband were
nothing but boys, and one of them had
red hair, and that their coats were
turned up at the collars, and that
their hats were pulled down. She
did not tell Mrs: Brown, she said, that
she got up out Of bed aud looked at The
clock. and that when the men came
back her husband stepped over the
edge of the bed and grabbed them.
Greatly irritated at these questions,
she said: mo, no! This is all a

distasteful to her, and Attorney Penney

Judge Russell was again obliged to

THE TRANSFER ORDINANCE.
It Will Go Into Effect on the First
Of May.

OF May.
The so-called Harvey transfer ordi-
nance will go into effect on all the street
car lines IN Minneapolis next Tuesday
morning, May l. when passengers will
be enabled to make connections without
paying extra fare at all intersec;ing
points.
The ordinance calls for transfers at
each point of intersection, but the CON-
pany IN several instances has done bet
ter,than this. Transfers will be given. for
instance, at Third street and Fourth
avenue south, on the Fourth avenue
cars coming down town. so that paSSen-
gers, by walking one block to Washing
ton avenue, can take any car going south
on Washington avenue. But for this
arrangement passengers Oh this line,
desiring 10 20 south OH Washington ave-
nue., would be carried north on Third
street to nennepin avenue. Again,
transfers will be issued from the BLOOM
lngton TO the Eighth avenue cBrs. and
vice versa, at Eighth avenue south and
Sixth street. where these lines meet,but
do not intersecr.
The new transfer card was gotten up
by Rand, McNally & Co.. Chicago. and
it is quite unique in Its way.
On one side OF the slip IS an oval dial,
with the hours, from to II, and dates
between marking the ten-minute
points. Immediately inside the dial is
q row of figures to indicate the days of
the month, and inside the row or fig
nres, on one side only. are noted The
months, from May l, 1894. to April l,
1895. The conductor will punch the
"a. H." when morning transfer is
given; all other transfers will be under
stood to be ''p. H." In the center of
the open space within the dial, to the
right, is statement to the effect that
the transfer is good only for the length
Of time Indicated by the conductors

punched. on the first car going to the
desired destination.
Toward the left on the open space
within the dial, in the center, running
almost from top to bottom, is list Ut
the transfer points where the transfer
in question will be coed. This list in
cludes all points of intersection, and, as
already noted, points where lines APP

TIE HEBl.HW PaDDLERs.
They Are ABLY Represented Be-
fore the Committee.

A large delegation of Hebrew peddlers
presented themselves yesterday after
NOON, before the committee on licenses
IN the city hall. There is at present an
ordinance increasing the license of
fruit peddlers from s75 year to $50
year and the junk peddlers from $40 TO
$50. The peddlers naturally object to
this increase, and considering the hard
times, 1t does look as though they were
paying enough. Rabbi Marks, the
weil.known Hebrew divine, was present
and addressed The committee on behalf
of the peddlers. 1t was an appeal for
leniencY. He stated that the men were
all poor, and to have the license of their
calling increased would be a serious
lnt1iction. The men were not CoXey-
lies, he said, and hr did not appear in
thrir behalf on the ground that they
were paupers, but for the sake of JUS
tice and an equalization of matters
commercial.
K. r. Odell, the United States COM
missioner, was present IN the capacity
of ~ attorney. He delivered himself
of an able argument. The committee
finally deciued To refer the whole Ques-
ton TO the council, which body meets
tonight.

been waging Il war AGAINST the Great
Northern railway corporation for the
only purpose of enabling the employees
OF the company 10 earn sufficient wages
to support themselves and families, and
Whereas, The demands of the Il. r.
U. are just and reasonable, to say The
least, liiasmucn as they only demand
very moderate remuneration for their
often dangers and always arduouS
labor, and
Whereas, Being reasonably Just, their
demands should receive the most hearty
support and cUuntenanct Ivy all fair
minded and matchmaking people,
Therefore, be 1t resolved, That this
gathering of citizens OF Minneapolis do
hereby recognize the justice of the
strikers demands, and take this means

with, and. wherever possible, co-opera-
ton Of this assembly, with earnest

adopted the following resolution:
Whereas, AT the present time we find
the entire United States i'll state OF

Whereas, We are opposed to any

by any means responsible for all blood
shed Ill such cases, and
Whereas, At the present time we find

Whereas, We are opposed to any
form of government that rules the;peo-
pie with bayonets or bullets, and will

He WILL STAND TRIAL.
MENACE WRITES A FRIEND THAT ne
WILL COM: BACK,
PROBABLY BY FIRST OF JUNE.

Prediction Expressed by a Well.
Known Attorney, Who States
That to Have Stood Trial at
the Time OF His Flight Would
Have Meant Certain Death
Has Consulted Legal Talent
The prediction was made by we'll
known attorney of Minneapolis yester-
day that Louis F. Menage. of Guaranty
Loan wrecking notoriety, would volun-
tariiy return to this city between the
18th OF May and the 1st Of June.
From what has been learned recently
there is prospect that the willy Louis
has decided to stand trial OH the indict-
nent, ana it is understood that his con-
fidential adviser in this city has received
a communication from him Within the
past few days, stating that he would
shortly return.
II have reason to KNOW" said the
attorney referi ed to, THAT Menage will
come back if the authorities will let him
cross the country. When he left here
he was a total physical and mental
wreck from the strain and worry, and TO
have stood trial theu would have killed
him, as those appreciate who know
the peculiar makeup and temperament
of the man. Now thatbe has recovered
his health. he feels strong enough TO go
thro u.h the ordeal of trial, and he is
buoyed up by the hope of acquittal.
On this point he has had the benefit uf
the best legal talent in the United
States, who have given him such aSsur-
ances. There are a lot Of prominent
men who are just as much to blame III
this matter as Menage. They stood in
with the deal if it was a winner, and he
took all the responsibility. When the
hard times came he foinid himself cor
nered, and was unable to carry his deals
through. Otherwise they would have
been successful, and Menage today
would have been the biggest man in
Minneapolis. When these men found
the snip sinking they ran away and left
him to do the best he. could -
