Explorer Stanley Tells In Brief the Story
of tho Great Enterprise.
During my descent of the Kongo I
had rovolvcd over and over i'm nv mind
the question of the destiny Of the river.
Seated at tho Prov Of my boat, which
led our flotilla, and daily watching the
river developing itself. was preoccu-
pied with these thoughts every leisure
moment. There was, it seemed to me.
no other power but England that could
interest itself with this part of Africa.
and, as said, there was not q single
White man III possession of any portion
OF the equatorial belt except at the
mouth of the Kongo, where q few trad
ers had gathered. But despite the nu-
merous addresses in England upon this
subject failed to awaken more than c
geographical interest in equatorial AT
RIGA. The terror of the African climate
III general was too strong upon every
body.
Elsewhere, however, tho reports of
my addresses III the English newspapers
were taking effect. After nearly nine
months busy life in England the king
OF the BclGians invited me to visit him.
and was then Informed Of his strong
inclination to undertake for Africa what
had been SO strenuously advising Eng
lishmen to do. He was already president
OF the African international association,
which was about to set on foot hu
manitarian enterprise from the east
coast, and Ee led mo to understand that
if l were free from other engagements
he would like to employ mo in opening
the Kongo basin to European influence
and civilization.
1t was my opinion that the best way
OF setting about the work was to con-
struct light surface railway which
should skirt the cataracts of the lower
Kongo and then to launch steamers on
the upper waters, which I estimated
would furnish about 6, 600 miles Of nav
igation. We argued about this matter
from August to December, 1878. The
best Belgian engineers were consulted.
but after the most elaborate cnlcula-
tions as to cost it was finally decided
that as the expense would be great we
should content ourselves with making
wagon roads past the cataracts and build
q series Of military stations for the pro-
lection of caravans, and that the annual
expenditure should not exceed $50, 600.

ASSERTING METAL MONEY.
Odd Specimens That Are In tho National
Treasury.

Immense quantities of subsidiary and
minor coins arc continually flowing in to
us, - said treasury official recently, "to
be exchanged for notes. Tho coins, which
wc receive from all over tho country, nro
assorted into fit and unfit Tho latter
we do not send out again for circulation.
AT tho Same time the standard of fitness
Is somewhat variable. If the appropriation
for the minis has run short and we have
no big quantity of new coins to draw on,
we are Obliged to pass pieces which would
otherwise BIO withdrawn and Transferred
to the melting pot. At all times We pick
out for rejection all coins that arc mutt
lated In any manner. This applies oven
to pieces which have paper stuck on them.
within the last three or four years the
practice of FASTING advertisements on one
side of silver dollars has been popular with
merchants, particularly in the west. The
paste employed is of SO excellont q quality
that to remove the 'stickers, rs they are
called, Is next to impossible. Soaking in
warm water has no effect on Them OF
course we have not time to devote to such
task, and so we just throw them out.
Tho ingenuity exercised by people in
tho DETACHMENT of tho coins of the realm
Is really remarkable. Shopkocpcrs will
stamp their firm names upon silver dollars
WIN steer ulcS. Tho advertisement is OK
cellcntly conceived, but tho value of the
coin is destroyed except rs bullion. Many
persons make practice of cutting coins
with knife, to make sure that they are
good. The test may prove them all right,
but 1T renders tho coin unredocmable.
Other persons scratch tho pieces with
sharp Instrumentation what purpose
am unable to say. The result, however,
is tho same. We return all mutilatcd and
counterfeit coins to tho depositor. In
every case tho depositor is requested to
send them back to tho treasury. If he
fails to do SO, no moro arc returned to him
out of subsequent consignments. Coun-
forfeit coins we mark in such way that
1t is hardly possible to use them again.
They arc cut half through from ono edge.
AS for mutilated pieces, tho owners can
dispose of them only by selling thom for
such metal The minis will buy mutilatcd
coins in quantities like any other bullion {"
