Henry M. Stanley. the explorer, who
is now in this country, says to IA report
er:

l shall remain about three months
While ON not thinking Of making an
other journey into Africa my heart is
enlisted in the development OF that con-
tinent, q work which can help along
much better where am now than if
were on the ground.
1.-THE greatest want Of Africa now is
railroads. Elephants and donheys die
OF, and the only practicable way to de-
velop the country is with the iron horse.
It is Il great territory, but little will DO
done with it If all Of the energy and
brains Of the settler are to be expended
in getting there and moving himself and
his merchandise about.
The country where labosed is grad
ually becoming more civilized. It bus
governors. judges. churches, % cathe-
dral and schools. The people are intelli-
gent. 1t is mistake to suppose they are
all black, tho truth being that thoy are
every shade Of brown and copper color
Il am not pecuntarily interested in
any African railway company and have
no axes to grind Mr.. Chamberlain is
in favor Of line, think the policy
Of tho Conservative party us to AfTicn
will be progressive; that of the Liberals
was weak apd vncillating."
When asked if no preferred England
to the United States as place of resi-
dence, he sSid that this was largely n
question of taste.

compartment on the port side. The
flames spread so rapidly and the clouds
OF smoke were SO sitting that the crew
were prevented from rescuing all of the

got under control about o'clock. when
the charred bodies of seven persons
were found in their berths. so badly
burned as to be unrccognizable
The cabin on the stnrboard side OF the

A CLEVER BABY.
sho L. a Great Attraction For Visitors Mt
Central Park, Now York.

Thore Is new attraction for visitors
ut Central park, and one that ought to
provo interesting to everybody, young
and old. 1t is baby elephant, and it is
as cunning and playful as any body Is ba-
by, but, of conrse, In its own elephan-
tine way. AT present it ia kept in ono
of the stalls at tho elephant house, but
pretty soon it will bo allowed out in the
yard. where visitors can become more
intimately acquainted with it.
Tho infant, which is from SO to 4
years old, stands about Az feet in
height mt the shoulders and is about the
saIno measurement IN length
Il never saw an elephant with such a
nice. smooth, healthy skin, said Keep
er Snyder.
The little visitor arrived at the park
Ill crate and truck. Soon after she
arrived Mr. Burns had Snyder give her
bath. II thore is anything an ele-
phant, big OF little, enjoys it is bath.
If ho had place for it, Mr.. Burns says,
he would supply the elephants, and in
fact, all the leather skinned animals,
with 70 tank Of water as big as that
which the hippopotami have to wallow
in.
When the hose was turned on to the
baby elephant on Tuesday, not content
with tho stream as it played upon her,
che sucked up the spare water from the
floor and spurted it upon herself from
her trunk. Then Snyder fed her. He
gave her loaf Of bread first. She put
1t on the floor and crushed it with one
of her fore feet, and then picked it up
piece by piece and ate every crumb of it.
Snyder had pieces Of broad in his
pockets, and she went through these as
clevcrly as pickpocket would and got
each one. Then he gave her a pail Of
bran mash, aud she exhibited regular
baby pet when he took part Of it away
to give to another elephant If the baby
remains long enough Mt the park, Mr..
