Of the Lion in recognition of my mill

my party about 700 were women. I
would never go on an expedition in
Africa without taking women along.
They are most useful to carry food
and other burdens. In order that the
men shall fight we'll and becontented it
is necessary that they shall not be asked
to carry loads. My dugout canoe was
fine affair. 1t was seventy-five feet
long and made from q single log.
There was room for forty paddlers, in
addition to whom 1t carried thirty
soldiers and their wives-in oil one
hundred and twenty-five people, with
baggage, etc. In this craft thus loaded
we could go faster than any steamer
on the Congo. A comfortable house
of grass was built on board of her.
"The collection which l brought
back with me includes some wooden
figures Of men and women, which are
fetiches. The natives do no exactly
worship them, but burn things before
them. In the lower Congo, when n
person is suspected of theft, nail is
jabbed into the heart of such wooden
figure, and the supposition is that it
will cause the death of the offender.
In every tribe there is fetich house,
in which fetiches are kept and cared
for by the fetch man. The latter is q
sort of doctor, and he will sell poisons
to people who desire to get rid OF
enemies"

GREAT CONNECTION
CAUSED BY A FIRE IN THE NEW
YORK ASSAY OFFICE.
Firemen Were at First Refused Adj
mittance, But After Considerable
ParIeying, They Were Allowed to
ENTER the Sacred Precincts.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-There was
great commotion in the assay office in
Wall street this morning. The journal
of an engine in the deposit melting
room, where 81, 600 in gold bars was
being arranged for shipment, became
oyerheated and the oil ignited. The
flame followed the oil train along the
point of the machinery to the ceiling.
Great volumes of black smoke quickly
filled all the rooms of the building.
Outside on the Wall street side came a
great kicking at the doors. 1t was a
policeman trying to get in. An Off
cial opened the door about an inch and
then slammed the door in the police
mans face The policeman ran to a
fire box and turned in an alarm and in
a few moments two engines ratified up
to the corner. The firemen, axes in
hand. made an onslaught on the iron
doors. but they were refused admission.
They insisted and finally fifteen were
allowed to enter.
Mr.. Cross, chief clerk, said the only
danger was that the fire might have
extended to the assay room over the
deposit melting room. The building
was old and the timbers very dry and
consequently highly inf1ammable.
The damage will not amount to over
S1OO. Most of it was done to the belt
ing and woodwork. There is a sum
amounting to nearly $20000,000 in the
vaults in the assay office, 100000 OF

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Du-
bois said today that the friends of sill
yer did not look for favorable 1egis-
lation by the present session of Con-
gress, and III view of the hostile at
tude of the president, he did not be-
ieve any special effort would be made
in that direction. The silver men, he
believed, would so far control the COM
mittees that they could at any time
brink I'D a free coinage bill, and it
was very likely that speeches in ad-
VOcacy of such a measure would be
made during the session. The wisdom
Of making a prolonged fight with the
full knowledge of it's hopelessness, he
said, was much doubted by silver men.
and it was altogether likely that they
would content themselves with re-
affirming their allegiance to the cause
rather than prolong the session when
no substantial good could possibly re-
suit.
The senator, however, was very posi-
tive in asserting that no issue of
bonds would be authorized or other
financial Legislation permitted without
some substantial recognition given to
silver, nor, he continued, would any
measure providing for the retirement
of greenbacks pass the Senate, eX-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Senator Da-
Wis, leading member of the commit
tee on foreign relations, has given con-
siderable study to that portion of the
presidents message relating to foreign
affairs. The Minnesota senator does
not agree with the president in any
thing except as to Venezuela, and in
this particular he would have it much
stronger.
Mr.. Davis noticed particularly that
part of the message relating to the
manner in which Germany is discrim-
mating against American meat, and
other products, upon the plea of SAM
tary precaution. which, the senator
thinks, is unfounded in fact. The pres
ident, he sayE seems to forget that he
has remedy at hand by reason of leg
lslat1on passed by the F'ifty-first Con-
gress. and which still remains on the
statute books. In an act approved
August 30, 1890, is the following sec
ton:
THAT whenever the president shall
be satisfied that unjust Determinations
are made by or under the authority
of any foreign state against the i'm
portatfon to or sale in such foreign
state of any product of the United
States, he may direct that such prod
ucts of such foreign state so discrim-
mating against any product of the
United States as he may deem proper,
shall be excluded from Importation to
the United States, and in such case he
shall make a proclamation of his di-
rection in the premises and therein
name the time when such direction
against importation shall take effect
and after such date the importa ton
Of the articles named in such procla-
nation shall be unlawful The presi-
dent may at any time revoke, modify
terminate or renew any such direction
as in his opinion the public interest
may require"
Senator Davis says that If the presi-
dent should enforce the provision OF
this law for Germany for a short time
there is little doubt but what she
would soon be found willing to make a
place for American products without
discrimination. He says there are
plenty of German imports upon which
an embargo could be placed which
would soon bring that government to
terms. He does not think it will be
necessary for the present Congress tc
enact any additional legislation to Sc
cure the proper treatment of American
products abroad.
So it is known that the meat packers
have taken no steps looking toward
legislation to secure the Introduction
of their products in Germany unit
more favorable conditions Reports
from those sections where the largest
packing Establishments are located say
they have not been requested to Take
any action in the premises.

WAS VERY BRIEF.
House Holds a Session That Re-
sembIes a Summer Shower.

~
WASHINGTON, Dec 6.-The house
was in session but half an hour today,
when it adjourned until Monday.
Mr.. Baker of New Hampshire, who
has proclaimed war upon Secretary of
Agriculture Morton because of the lat
ter's refusal to expend an appropria-
ton for the purchase of seeds for dis
tribution among congressional constit-
uents. attempted to put through res
olution calling upon the secretary for
information upon the subject, but Mr.
Mcmillan of Tennessee, objected.
Later Mr.. Walker of Massachusetts,
in whose district reside nfne-tenths of
the naturalized Armenians in this coun-
try asked for the printing in the Rec
ord of their resolution reciting the out
RACES committed upon their relatives
in Turkey, and pledging the support
of Congress to any steps that might be
taken by the executive for their pro
lection, but to this Mr. Turner of
Georgia interposed an objection.
The Proceedings.
When the house met today, Terry
Oem., Ark.) and Boatner Dem, Fla }
belated members, were formally sworn
in and the committee report to pass on
members mileage accounts was passed.
Baker (Rep., N. HI asked unanimous
consent for the immediate considera-
ton of a resolution calling on the sec
rotary of agriculture to report whether
he had expended the whole or any part
of the appropriation made by the last
Congress for the distribution of far
mers' bulletins. Mcmillan Dem.
Temp objected.
Walker (Rep., Mass.) offered a petit
ton in the form of a resolution from
naturalized Armenians of the United
States, nine-tenths of whom, he said,
lived in his district, and requested that
it be printed in the Record. After re-
citing the alleged oppression and out
RACES of the Turkish government, it
concluded:
Resolved. That the people Of the
United States through their represen-
tatives in Congress assembled, hereby
express their deepest adherence and
condemnation of the outrages thus
committed on their American fellow
citizens as we'll as the Christian sub
jects of Turkey
Resolved, Further. that this house
composed of the immediate representa-
tives of the American people, pledges
it's support to the government in every
measure justified by international law
and common humanity to vindicate
the rights of our fellow citizens and
their families in Turkey, and to hinder
and prevent as far as practicable, the
continuance of the outrages and
massacres in that land"
The petition was referred to the
| committee on foreign affairs.
At 1890 p. m. the house adjourned un-
til Monday.

BOSTON, Dec. 6.-Letters at hand from
missionaries of the American board at the
seat of trouble in Turkey throw new
light on the fact that some of the mis-
sionaries have not taken advantage of
The advice of Minister Terrill and the
armed escorts that have been provided
to conduct them to the coast The writer
says:
The government authorities give every
assurance that whatever happens for
eigners will be protected and we believe
in showing our confidence in these as
surances. Should we run away, the very
valuable property of our boards would
be looted, our schools dispersed and the
work of years broken UP. Moreover, the
native Christians will be plunged into
still deeper distress and terror, by the
flight of those to whom they naturally
look for help and protection.
Our presence serves to restrain the
blood thirsty impulses Of even the most
fanatical Moslems; while here they do
not dare to act as they otherwise would,
nor do their long headed leaders. The
last reason alone would compel us to
stay even to the last degree of risk to
ourselves
