SLAVE RAIDS IN AFRICA.
More Than q Hundred villages Destroyed
in One Campassn.

in One Campaign.
AS we approached the falls we saw
that the river banks had been depopu-
lated and the villages were in ashes.
We passed dead bodies floating in the
river. Canoes were standing on end
like followed columns, crowds of fugi-
tives were afioat and hiding among the
| reedy islands. These were all signs of
a general terror, but we could get no
information of its character. Vague
ideas of an invasion from some savage
tribe came to our minds, and now and
then we had a misgiving that there
must be Arab slavers in the neighbor-
hood.
Continuing our ascent, on the third
day we came in sight of a huge Arab
camp on the right bank, and before
very long we discovered that the Arabs
Of Nyangwe (Livingstone's farthest
point, having heard the most exag-
gerated reports of our successful de-
scent of the Congo in 1877, had FASTENED
after US to reap harvest of ivory and
slaves. They had been too successful.
Over 118 villages had been destroyed
below Stanley falls alone, a rich plum
der of ivory was in their camp and sew
eral hundred slaves, old and young,
were herded like goats and heavily
fettered in the slave pen. 1t then ap-
peared that while we had been negotiat-
ing with the negro chiefs along the
river, making roads, building stations
and hauling steamers overland, thu
Arabs of Nyangwe had been coming
down the river, laying the country
waste. We had at last met, about so
miles below the falls. a glance at the
scenes of the camp was sufficient TO re-
veal what future awaited the Congo
valley had we not conceived the project
of opening the river to civilizing in
fuences. There was not moment to
lose. We had no authority to open fire
on the miscreants. They were subjects
Of the prince of Zanzibar. who was a
protege of England, and TO plunge into
hoStilities with them might possibly
involve us in serious complications.
But while we dared not use force, we
believed that by continuing the same
system we had found so successful
with the native chiefs, we could check
the audacity of the slavers by our mere
presence among them. After some
days spent in cautious and friendly
negotiations with the Arabs, we were
permitted to establish a station at the
falls, and. after seeing it well advanced,
we turned the prows of our steamers
down-river toward Leopoldville- -

ing Toward the Sierra
Businesses.

FRESNO, CAL, July 25.-Sheriff Sam
westfall of MADEIRA is in the foothills OF
this county, above Pollasky, hunting for
"Jim" Haslip, the Indian wanted for the
murder of an Italian at Raymond over
two years ago. Since be committed the
murder Haslip has eluded the officers,
although several determined attempts
have been made to capture him. Only a
few weeks ago Hi Rapelie and two Sanger
constables tried their hand at capturing
willy "Jim," but he gave them the slip.
Haskp was seen few days ago in the
hills near Pollasky. Sheriff Westfall left
MADEIRA Immediately and it is reported to-
day that he is hot on the fugitive's trail.
Men arriving from Pollasky to-day stated
that the people in the country between
Pollasky and the Big Sandy region were
decidedly uneasy because of the assassin S
presence. They feel that the Indian
would not hesitate to commit another
murder if he were to feel pangs of hunger
or deem himself in danger of capture.
It Is believed that Haslip will endeavor
to steal horse and seek the remote fast
nesses of the Sierra, but Westfall will en-
deavor to stop him before he reaches the
divide.

LOS ANGELES. CAL, July 25.-Colonel
Messmore has issued this announcement
of his candidacy for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Congress:
l take this method of announcing to the
voters of the Sixth Congressional District that
/ shall be candidate for nomination before
the convention to be held at Ventura on the
4th day OF August, 1895. 1t is proper that
every man who presents himself for Congress
sional honors should let the voters know just
where he stands upon the vital issues of the
hour. The platform adopted by the conven-
tion at Chicago, which placed Bryan and
Sewan in nomination, meets my unQualii ed
approval in every particular.
That platform is a second declare ton of in
dependence, a bow Of promise TO the strug-
Cling millions of this country against the OPP
preston of the money and corporate powers
not only OF our own country but of Europe
also.
The remonetization of silver, which is the
vital question of the great contest before us. is
an open declaration of war against the great
est crime of the century, the crowning infamy
of the Republican party-the destruction of
half OF the metallic money OF the Nation and
the direct cause of its destructlon by all the
Latin commercial nations. have fought this
infamous act since 1873. That act is the parent
OF the army OF tramps and unemployed all over
the land. i. E. MESSMORE.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, July 25.-Spec-
tators in Judge Van Dykes courtroom to-
day were treated to sensational divorce
proceed ings. G. H. Beal, a wellknown
photographer, is the defendant. The
snappy-eyed plaintiff is making the fight
of her life. She has long string of wit
nesses to prove her charges of cruelty.
The defendant is also well fortified with
witnesses and attorneys.
Beaps set-off to his wife's complaint is
general shiftlessness and a temper that
has no bounds. One of Beats witnesses
testified that he had been shown through
the Beal home day or two after the
couple had separated and found things in
dire confusion, and dirt everywhere. There
was dirt in the sugar, coffee, butter, pota-
toes and around the rooms. Another said
that Mrs. Beal used language on many
occasions which could not be repeated
and he once saw her spit in Bears face.
On one occasion, according to the evil
dence, Mrs. Beal came in with her mother,
when Beal was finishing a photograph of
his mother-in law. Mrs. Beal called her
husband ''fool" and remarked that il the
picture had been for any one except his
mother-in-iaw it would have been finished
long before.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, July 25.-
About eighty miles north of Mojave is an
institution known as the San Bernardino
Borax Works. In the years before the
enactment of the Wilson-G German tariff
law, about 100 men were employed at
the works. each receiving not less than
$50 month and board. There were six
drivers of mule teams, which freighted
the borax to Mojave. These received SIPS
per month for their services and the
swampers about the marsh received $85.
Five stations were established between the
works and Mojave, with large farms and
houses where number of people were
employed at good salaries. A trip from
the borax WORKS to Mojave was made
every eight days with three twenty-five
mule teams, hauling sixty tons, from
which was realized, under the Mckinley
law, $400 per ton.
To-day borsx would bring but $50 per
ton, because of the withdrawal of the pr O.
lection afforded by the Mckinley tariff.
Under present conditions, of course, the
works have closed and hundreds of men
are. thrown out of employment. The
busy whirl of machinery has ceased.
The big wagons are no longer used, and
the mules have been sold, given away OF
are idly "eating their heads off," The
shouts Of men have died away. A keeper
takes care of the company's property, and
the owners are awaiting the return of pro-
lection and the prosperity sure to follow
the election of William Mckinley and g
Republican Congress. Then the works
will be reopened.

STOCKTON, CAL, July 25.-The board
of directors of the San joaquin Agricultu-

hold pavilion display here during fair
week. 1t has been mooted questen for
some time as to whether there would be
any exhibition in the pavilion, for the rea-
son that last year this part of the fair ran
the directors in debt. The horse-racing at
the track always pays, but of late the dis
play in the agricultural. pavilion has left
the management in arrears 1t was
thought that there would be bitter fight
against holding another exhibition in the
pavilion, but this afternoon, when the di-
rectors met, all voted for the pavilion dis

tanned from Mr.. Kobayashi, the inter-
prefer:
"Our company is one with a capital OF
$7,500,000. The Japanese Government.
realizing the benefits to be derived from
IN extension of its merchant marine. has
offered liberal subsidies to the promoters
of steamship lines between Japan and for
eign ports, the subsidy being graded ac-
cording to the tonnege of the vessel, speed
and number of miles covered on the voy.
age. To take advantage of the subsidy.
we propose building twelve large stearn-
ships OF not less tEan 5000 gross register
and placing them in the trade between the
Orient, Europe and the United States. The
larger number of our feet will operate on
the run across the Pacific Ocean, and il is
to select terminus for the line that enY
present trip is being made"
The combination of subsidized lana.
nese line with the Oregon-Asiatic line now
operating from Portland would make q
company that would virtually control the
Orient trade on this coast.

debate between A. J. Pillsbury, for gold,
ana Hon. J. W. Martin, for silver, con-
cluded tonight. They spoke to large
and impartial audience.
The meeting was called to order by Mrs.
W. W. Wilmington. Martin opened the
debate by paying glowing tribute to the
fair sex and declaring for equal suffrage.
He eulogized Miss Susan B. Anthony,
much to the delight of the audience.
Martin, who is an elector on the Bryan
and Sewall ticket, claimed that the pros
perity of a country depended upon the
amount of circulating medium in that
country, citing facts and figures \ proof
OF his contention. Pillsburv pro sed con-
clusively that the circ ulating medium had
constantly increased for the past twenty
years, yet good times were not keeping
pace with the increase of money. Martin
claimed there was a per capita circulation
of but S5 in this country. Pillsbury said
the United States Treasurer's report,
rendered on July l. 1886, gave per-capita
circulation of $2i 10.
The debate was courteously conducted
and heartily enjoyed by the auditors.
Pillsbury leaves tonight for San Fran
