the French flag floating over these eX-
plorers' heads. He claims that the ma

ensign, and that it was left over Afri-

STANLEY'S FIGHT.
That Is Stanley's side of the story
He wants the Queen to have, for her
own consumption and the lions de-
light, that portion of Africa, The OPP
position say that It IS not wanted
That It means higher taxes, more
troops, worry and work, and all for
nothing. They are not anxious to have
Stanley Falls" a powerful city in the
British Empire. Stanley, who has so
recently proved himself a Britisher!
When Stanley argues on this point
he loses self-control. He is a man of
hot head. l refer you TO the time he
faced two lions and a troop Of l.onesses
and whelps in the background because
they came to interrupt the dinner Of
his tired men, who were seated at food
for the first time in the week. The men
tell Of this and that the fire from Stan
ley's eye hurt the beasts more than the
flash from his gun.
When accused Of self-interest in want
ing Africa for the English people, Stan
ley forgot himself utterly. He hurled
out words words, words They were
mighty and to the point and his OPP
ponents covered.
The Queen likes the explorer i'm
mensely. It was through her that he
was restored to public favor two years
ago when he said things about popular
young explorers that the English did
not like She knew Stanley to be real
and true. She knew he would scorn to
act except in the interests o fhis own
avowed country-England. And by in
viting Mrs. Stanley to the Windsor, by
dining the explorer, by lending him her
sons and son-in-law for companions,
she reinstated him in favor. The en-
nifty of the families of the young ex-
plorers still continues, but it is hid
den from the surface.
+ AS A NEW YORK WRITER.
In America Stanley is remembered as
a tall. lean young man, with a strong
face. Dark hair set off a good pair of
keen blue eyes shown under heavy
brows. He was all for gathering news
as a reporter. The editor Of the news

porting for q New York paper tells this

Ten years later he was the greatest
explorer and discoverer of the age, and
to-day, ten years later, at the age or
fifty-fye. or over-for Stanley does not
know his real age-he is the brightest
orator the Queen has.
STANLEY'S HOT HEAD.
Stanley spoke hot-headedly and
sometimes without sufficient weighing
of his words, according to his custom
when excited, but he spoke always
with reasonableness, and in that speech
he proved himself to be Briton be,
yond dispute.
Henry NJ. Stanley was a waif as far
as parental ignorance is concerned.
He found himself when a small child in
Wales. 80 must have been born there"
according to his present reasoning
Later he came to America and worked
himself up from n newsboy to jour
nalist. By what accident or parentage
he was left alone at so early an age be
cannot even surmise, but there is no
doubling the fact that he was the child
of intellectual parents.
Stanley himself has always thought
that some accident carried off his pa
rents when he was a mere baby and
that he was brought by simple folk UNI
tn able to shift for himself. If he had
been an abandoned waif the people who
took him would unquestionably have
claimed his services when he grew old
enough to work for them. a real wait
is never left in ignorance of the fact.
Those who bring him up rub it into
him, so he will pay and repay and pay
again their oenefactions. Henry NJ.
Stanley was of-good parentage, the
death of relatives was a calamity, and
his own sturdy, little heart, clever
hands and nimble brain made him his
own supporting power until he grew to
be a manwith a mans opportunities

primed at the beginning of%this speech,

and grew warm to his subject. he
lapsed unconsciously into the British
tongue. He began to show that native
touch which none but an Englishman
by birth can ever show.
VERY COCKNEY.
Stanley was much excited. The
maiden speech in the House is Of more
imDort in England than any similar
ceremony we have in this country.
There is no comparison here to IT. The
platform of our political party is non~
committal compared to the impression
which a new speaker must make or
break when he first steps upon the
floor In the excitement Of the mo-
rnent stanley forgot all cultivation, all

Atlanta Constitution: Senator Mercer is
after the usurers. He introduced a red
hot bill in the state Senate Friday, the ef-
feet Of which will be TO make what might
be termed extreme usury a felony. His
bill provides that "any person or persons.
or any president cashier or other officer
OF any corporation who shall charge
greater rate OF interest Tor the use OF mon
eY than Is per cent per annum shall be
held and deemed guilty of felony and
upon conviction shall be punished by inn
prisonment in the penitentiary for a term
not less than one nor more than five years
The object of the bill Is very plain, said
the senator. Friday. in explaining its pro-
visions. we all know that there are a
class of money lenders whose methods
may be called nothing else than highway
robbery. IL is 10 get at these people that

made upon the poor people for money are
well nigh incredible, but they are stories
which / have every reason to believe are

perfectly satisfied to get per cent for

u per cent. would be perhaps the proper
figure for me TO allow in this bill. but ]
wanted TO make it as liberal as there could
be any excuse for. Certainly an interest
of and ~ per cent month Is enough
for any mans money. Il has been urged
that FORGETTING the principal and interest
would be sufficient punishment. But every
body knows that would not prevent such
charges. What / am after is to make IL a
crime, and when that is done l believe the
charging OF this usury win cease"

In an interview tonight President Lewis of the Brooklyn City railway sys- tenn said that the men had gone too far in their insistence upon their demands and had already caused so much trou- ble that their conduct absolutely pre- cluded the consideration of any propo- stition of settlement from them. He in- timated that his company would not under any circumstances, deviate one iota from the position it had taken since the inauguration of the strike.
 MT. Lewis seemed to be indifferent as to whether the linemen struck or not. He said that on his entire system about 200 cars had been run to-day and he ex- pected to have an additional 100 cars in operation tomorrow. He asserted it was only a question of a short time when all his lines would have sufficient numbers of cars running to accommo- date traffic.
 Word came to the navy yard from Washing on this morning to the com mandant that no marine or sailor shall be allowed liberty during the present labor troubles, and that all the men must hold themselves in readiness for any emergency.

 Killoy and Gates, who were drowned as reported in another column, went out to Saltonstall lake early Tuesday morning, and in the afternoon Newton, the liveryman, drove out to join them. At night, when the men did not return, there was great anxiety in their homes, and there was inquiry at the houses of each if anything had been heard from the party. Killoy had served on the republican ward committee in the Twelfth ward, and was a member of the Mckinley club. He leaves a family. Gates was unmarried and resided with his parents, MT. and Mrs. William Gates. He was a painter. He leaves a brother, Lewis w. Gates of West Ha- ven, and two sisters. MT.
