Them by Wholesale and Cap.

London, Oct. 6.-The Exchange Tele-
graph company announces that the Afri-
can mail has brought news of serious
fighting between the Arabs and Belgians
in Congo state. 1t is alleged that the
Belgians claimed truce after heavy fight
ing, then hemmed the Arabs in and mas
sacred them without quarter. Another
account says that the Arabs, commanded
by Chief Rumiliza, after truce, agreed
upon a conference, which was eventually
commenced. But almost Immediately
afterwards the Arabs powder magazine
exploded. This caused both sides to
suspect treachery and fighting was re-
sumed. The Arabs were surrounded on
all sides by the Belgians and nearly all
massacred. Chief Rumiliza escaped, but
thirty other chiefs we're numbered among
the slain. The Belglans captured 100000
lakhs worth of property.

1t was exactly 6:23 p. N. yesterday when
the Santa Fe train pulled out, carrying
with 1t the 10th infantry companies To-
Gated at Fort Marcy. The popularity of
those connected with the command was
aitested by the large crowd at the depot
to make final adieus and it is estimated
that 200 or 300 people accompanied the
troops to the train. AS the train pulled
out, its passengers gave many hearty
cheers for Santa Fe; while those remain

cheering the gallant command on its way.
The train consisted of Pullman, re-
served for the officers and their families;
four tourist sleepers, one of which was
occupied by those soldiers having fam
lilies, and twelve freight cars and a
caboose.

1T WENT DEMOCRATIC.
Georgia Elects Democratic Gov
ernOr and Legislature and Will
Return a solid Congress
stOnal Delegation Next
Month.

Atlanta Ga, Oct. 6.-Complete returns
from the state election held in Georgia
last Wednesday show the election of W.
Y. Atkinson, as governor and the entire
Democratic ticket by majority greatly
reduced from what it was in 1892. The
falling off is largely due to the opposition
of the old confederate element to the
head of the ticket, Mr.. Atkinson; as he
defeated Gen. Evans, the veterans candi-
date for the nomination, in the primaries
held some weeks ago, and has in addition
opposed good deal of state legislation
favorable to the old soldiers, notably, the
Soldiers Home project. The legislature
elected is largely Democratic which in
sures a Democratic SUCCESSOR to U. S.
Senator Pat Walsh. The party managers
are confident, upon the face of the re-
Surns, that Georgia will re-elect a solid
congressional delegation next month.

Why Take the Wabash

For ST. LOUISP
Because it is the shortest line; the best
equipped line; runs free chair cars, Buffet
Pullmans and gives you ample time in
Kansas City for supper.
For TOLEDO OR DETROITi
Because it is the shortest line; avoids
transfer across the city in case you are
going further east, and makes close con-
nections with all trunk lines.
For NEW YORK or BOSTON?
Because it has solid through service
from both Chicago and st. Louis, via
NIAGARA FALLS; gives forty minutes
stop at the falls at seasonable time in the
morning.
FOR ALL OTHER EASTERN POINTS,
Because its service is uniformly good
