1t appears that Grand Master
Workman Sovereign, of the Knights
of Labor, has given himself the
contract to drive the national bank
currency from circulation, and at
this stage of the proceedings it looks
as though he has undertaken what
will prove to be an exceedingly
difficult job. Ii does not seem at
all probable that the laborers,
farmers, and other producers
throughout the country are going to
enter into or countenance any con-
spiracy having for its avowed pur-
pose the boycotting of so stable and
sound a circulating medium as
national bank notes are universally
acknowledged to be. The people of
the United States possess too keen
an appreciation of perfectly sound
currency to permit themselves to be
made a party to Sovereign's dis
reputable scheme to thus contract
the volume of the currency in
circulation which is now none too
great to meet the demands of the
business and industrial interests OF
the country. Nothing is hazarded
in the prediction that this last
movement on the part of the great
labor leader will prove as signal a
failure as did his dastardly attempt
made one year ago to involve all
labor organizations in the great A
r. U. strike which sought to paral.
we the commercial and industrial
interests of the entire country. Sc
long as the laborer can obtain fol
his work as good money as national
bank currency is he viii not very
generally refuse it, as the Gov.
eminent is responsible for every
dollar of that form of currency
issued. Better appeal to the ballo
than the boycott for the readjust
ment of our financial system.

FEAR FOR MANY VESSELS
twenty-five Atlantic Coasters We're Out
in the Storm
Anxious Wives and Sweethearts Watching for
News From Ships That Are Long
Overdue at New York

New York, Feb. 16.-Much anxiety is
manifested among the owners of small
coastwise sailing vessels as to the safety
of about 25 ships which are supposed to
have been lost in the blizzard of about a
week ago. Every day the offices of the
agents are besieged by relatives anxious
to know what has become of their loved
ones who shipped month ago. Since the
storm there has not been one coastwise
sailing vessel reported from any Southern
port and vessels bound from New York
for the South and New England are also
so long overdue that they are supposed to
have foundered. The ships about whose
whereabouts there is doubt number over
twenty the crews average about ten men
to each and the total value of the cargoes
is about quarter of a million dollars.
Most of the vessels are owned by New
Workers. Principal among them are the
schooner George r. Condor, which sailed
from Charleston, S. c., in command of
Captain Bailey. She had crew of twelve
men and is now ten days overdue. The
barkentine Emma J. Meyer, Captain
Oliver, is twelve days overdue in London,
Conn, from Charleston, S. c. The
schooner Alameda, Captain Dodge, which
sailed from Nilesboro, Me-, January
18th, has not yet been heard
from. The barketine e. s. Powell, Cap
tain Hutchinson, which sailed on Janu-
airy 9th from Charleston, S. c., for New
York, is not heard from. The schooner
Nora H. Fuller, from Boston for the
Azores, and the schooner Porter, from
Brunswick to New York, are each ten
days overdue.

Some Queer Things That Donald
Smiths Party Found
A FUNNY KING AND QUEEN
Strange Customs of the Natives in Far
Abyssinia
The People flask Themselves While Eating.
Cruelty to the Helpless Is
Pastime

New York, Feb. 16.-The Associated
Press has received the following letter
from DR.. A. Donaldson Smith, of Phila-
delphia, in which news of the Rudolph,
Eastern African, expedition is given up
to December Ia, 1891. The letter is dated
from the Shebeyli river near
Somaliland. He relates the details of his
encounter with Dodjas Wada Gubbra, an
Abyssinian ruler. who had exterminated
or enslaved the native Calais and who
prevented DR.. Smith and his party from
proceeding. The doctor writes:
Da Gubbra proved himself to be one of
the funniest and wttiest old men imagin-
able. His wife and daughter and princi-
pal female slaves had their brows re-
moved and large crescents tattooed in blue
ink over their eyes. They do not cook
their meat but eat it Immediately the
animal is killed. They always conceal
their faces when eating or drinking and
the sight of a lot of Abyssinians
squatted about dead bullock with their
cloaks thrown completely over their heads
is very amusing. They have many curl
GUS customs. Such a thing as morality is
unknown among them. They seem to de-
light in cruelty treating their slaves |
have frequently seen young girls kicked
and beaten for quite trihing offenses.
We made a rich discovery on our way
south. l had heard of river that ran
under mountain, where the great god of
the Gallas, Waco, had carved place for
himself. AS we were not far from
it Mr.. Gillet and l made an ex-
cuse that we wished to shoot
elephants which abounded there. We
made hard push and to our surprise dis
covered the most beautiful subterranean
passage it would be possible to imagine.
A large tributary of the River Juba had
carved way for itself through noun
tain mile in length.
On the other side of the stream were
vaulted chambers from 125 to $50 feet
high and supported on massive columns.
The columns were most ornamental y
carved by the waters, and many
would form long arched pas
sages. The mountain was hol-
~lewed out a great distance on the
other side of the stream which
have named the Gave of Windlawn.' y
The great part of our journey has been
through the richest country, from an ag-
cultural point of view l have ever seen,
and the climate would suit an European
farmer exactly. There are signs of pre-
vious cultivation; but little land is culti-
waited at present. For every village that
is inhabited there are at least six that are
without owners.
All about these villages there are large
areas that were highly cultivated five
years ago and even more recently before
. the Abyssinians grabbed the land and
slaughtered the natives. We have a long
journey before us and it will probably be
dolph.

WAS THERE ANOTHER WILL?
Prospect of a Contest In the Matter Of
w. w. Slows Estate
Did the Late Capitalist Take Testament
Subsequent to Execution Of the One
Filed for ProbateP

San Francisco, Feb. 16.-The will Of the
dead Park Commissioner, w. W. Stow,
has been opened and read. Certain in
formation has reached the family lead
ing them to incline toward belief that a
will bearing subsequent date may be
found upon further search, so it was de-
cided not to make public at once the will
opened. The will was made several years
ago. 1t was drawn with the full knowl-
edge of Mrs. Stow and the children, and
they stated last evening that it's pro-
visions were entirely satisfactory to them.
In general terms it may be said that the
will leaves all the property to Mrs. Stow
and the children. There is no bequest to
Golden Gate Park or other public insti-
tutions. The family are inclined to think
that the estimate at 81, 900, ZOO, made as to
the value of Mr.. Slows estate, is greatly
exaggerated.

WEECK ON THE SANTA FE
A Bad Smashup Near Pittsburg, Kansas,
Several Persons Injured

Pittsburg, Kas., Feb. 16.-The regular
Santa Fe passenger train from Kansas
City was wrecked outside the city limits
this evening and several of the passengers
injured. None of them, it is thought,
will die. After being removed from the
wreck the injured passengers were dis
tributed over the city, making it impos-
sible to getan accurate list of those hurt.
As far as obtainable the list is as follows:
Conductor Ramsey, injured internally; G.
Davis, boy, leg mashed; Miss Bertha
Gaver, side punctured by broken timber
and otherwise badly injured. Under
Sheriff Hi Adsit, both legs broken, arms
dislocated, cut about the face. Mrs. Dr.
M. E. Johns, leg broken, face and body
badly cut. A son of Mrs. Johnson in
jured internally, body mashed and ear
cut off. John Ennis, leg broken and in
jured internally. Miss Laura James, leg
and both arms broken, ugly hole in head.

stances the evidence was inadmissible,
but gave the defense until Monday to pro-
duce the authorities, which may change
his opinion. So Miss Wachter was dis
missed and the skull on which the wounds
of Miss Cling are illustrated was sent for
Three physicians were asked hypo-
thetical questions bearing on the question
of the fractured skull. DIR. H. G. Norris
thought it highly improbable double
fracture had been caused by fall from
the buggy, as explained by Blixt DR.. S.
Hance thought it next to impossible. DR..
G. D. Meyers said he had long army ex-
perience, but he never knew of a case
where the fall of three feet like the one
described had produced such fractures on
q skull.
