came to The surface, moaning like dying

completely exhausted. His limbs grew
stiff, and he WAS carried to a room and

was growing rapidly weaker from the
loss of blood. Under the chin was a bad
cut received from the cork vest, which
had been poorly adj justed lie was also
injured internally, and suffered greatly
from the shock. The lower part OF Calla-

AFRICAN GOLD FIELDS.
Mining Exports From California Going
ilitherward.


NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-A party of
American mining experts arrived
in this city to-day and are now at
the Brunswick. The party is OH its way
to the gold fields OF South Africa, and
will sail for the African coast in few
days.
The chief of the party, which is prob
ably the first organized band of American
mining experts that has evor invaded the
African fields, is }. I'll. TIbbitts of San
Francisco. He is accompanied by Colonel
John Hammond and Charles Stocks of
Grass Valley, Cal, and Louis NJ. de
Murat OF Paris, France. Mir. TiDbitts is
one of the best-known miners in the
West. He was born IN the mother lode
section of the State, which was famous in
the days OF lSi9, and has followed miu-
ing all his life lie has made many yalu-
able discoveries and opened up ana
developed many of the best known
and most successful mines i'll the
State. Mr.. Tibbitts goes to South Africa
under engagement 10 develop claim.
This will take up but a portion of his
time, and lie intends 10 do considerable
prospecting on his own account. Colonel
Hammond already owns several claims
in the African gold fields and il is he who
has induced the others in his party to
visit that far-away I'll Dorado. Colonel
Hammond is OF the opinion that Amerl-
can push. energy and mining methods
will work wonders in the tropical land OF
wealth. He also thinks that there is
more gold in South Africa than the
widest dreamer has ever imagined, and
bases his opinion on profound knowl-
edge of the country.
When South Africa is reached the party
intends to push It's way into the interior,

condition. He takes an interest in topics
mentioned to him and talks brightly.
One moment he does not recognize per-

moment his mind seems to become clear
and be will recognize the one who may
be near him. The physician says his life

Changes to be Mads in the Secretary of
State's Department..
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-As a result
of the investigation into the methods OF
the disbursing division of the State De-
partment, known as the Bureau of Ac-
counts, Francis j. Kirk hoefer, Chief OF
the bureau, and Edward Haywood, chief
book keeper, have resigned at the request
Of Secretary Olney. No criminality ia
alleged, but Olney decided that the affairs
OF the bureau had been carelessiy con-
Quoted, and deemed a change necessary.
When he reached this decision is un-
known, but be selected Mr.. hirkhoefer's b
successor several days ago, and the an
uouncement OF his appointment may be
made Tomorrow. The name of the per-
son TO whom Inc position will be given
cannot be ascertained.
The investigation began last July, in
conformity with the provisions Of the
Dockery reorganization law. 1t is un-
oerstood that shortages were discovered
i'll two cases. The experts found that
! &c. 900 credited TO a fund could not be
satisfactorily accounted for, but Mr.
Kirkhoefer states that this amount is in
private bank in Washington to the
credit Of the Secretary of State This
bank does not pay interest. and the
runner that the State department en-
ployes had benefited by its deposit ap-
! pears to be groundIess. Copies of the
statutes are for sale by the Bureau OF
! Accounts at > 81 volume. Many OF
them, however, have been distributed
/ Tree, some on orders from various Secre-
taries OF State. and in each instance s. 80
has been charged against the bureau. a
failure TO keep an exact record OF the free
/ distribution has somewhat complicated
the matter. but the OK XplaEation given is
SAID to be satisfactory. 1t is believed
that the Government has lost nothing,
except the value of the volumes OF the
! Revised Statutes distributed free, and
Mr.. kirk hoeier and Mr.. Haywood are
absolved from blame for any intention to
defraud.
