Lord Salisbury.

,ornoy. Nov. 10.-At the lord
,.vor's banquet last evening the Mar

" foreign affairs. After referring to
Ss conduct of the troops on the Indian
tontier and warmly praising the con-

n the Soudan campaign, the premier
sme to the leading passage III his
Ueecb, introducing the tangled ques-
ian Of the Niger and the conflicting
claims and interests of Great Britain
and France in that section Of West
Africa. He said:
at might not achieve the general
suciliatory process desired if / entered
tnnkly into all the negotiations be-
tween the powers respecting Africa.
We are all aware of the great extent OF
,,rritory cast loose during the last 20
Years in Africa, and put up as the OBJ
let Of acquisition for
Several Enterprising Governors.
The negotiations that are proceeding
will possibly continue long time. We
desire that territory to be governed on
rnct principles of right and with a
constant regard to it's prosperity and to
the interests of the empire. We do not
desire unjust and illegitimate achieve
nents, and we do not wish to take ter
ntOry simply because it would look we'll
10 paint red on the maps. Our objects
ore strictly business. We wish to ex-
tend commerce, trade, industry and
civilization; to throw open as many
markets as possible, and to bring to-
gether as many consumers and produc-
ers as possible, and to open the great
natural highways and waterways of
the continent. We wish trade to pur-
ne an unchecked course on the Niger,
the Nile and the Zambesi and, in doing
these things, while we wish to
Behave in NeighborIy Manner
and to show due consideration to the
feelings and claims of others, we are
obliged to say that there is a limit to
the exercise of this particular set of
leshngs and we cannot allow our plain
nights TO be overridden.
In concluding his speech, Lord Sails.
0ury said: Zone hope we have of pre-
renting the competition of armaments
among European powers ending in a
terrible effort for mutual destruction,
nal to civilization, is that the powers
may gradually be brought to act to-
gsther in friendly spirit as to all
questions that may arise until at last
'ney shall be welded into some inter
aallonai construction which will give

strength, long spell of unfettered

Franklin's Loan,

We often learn by sad experience
that it is an unwse plan to give money
TO the poor. 1t is much wiser either to
loan or require some slight return in
work. This plan tends to raise the re-
spsct of the recipient, rather than to
form the easily acquired habit of beg
ging. In an old English magazine we
find the following letter from DR..
franklin to some unknown beggar: it is
amusing as well as instructive:
April %, 1884.
~ send you herewith ten Louis-d or.
7 do not ptetend to give such d sum; l
on'y lend it to you. When you shall
return to your country you cannot fail
of getting into business that will in tim e
enable you to pay all your debts. In
that case when you meEt with another
honest man in similar distress, you
must pay me by lending this sum to
him, enjoiuinl him to discharge the
debt by like opera ion when he sba l be
able. and shall meet with another such
opportunity. l hope it may thus go
through many hands before it meets
with a knave to stop its progress. This
is trick of mine for doing a deal of
good with little money. l am not
rich enough to afford much in good
work, and so am obliged to he earning
and make the most of a lit lie. .'-Har-

confined to the barn and adjoining shed
which were entirely destroyed. The

LET THE PUBLIC JUDGE.
The Herald is Willing for a Show
Down,

''This morning the Times gives the
| first official report of the big fight re-
| ceived in Ell Paso. The afternoon pap
| ers Yesterday received their report from
| the saloon bulletins. .''-Morning Times
The Times should remember the ad-
age that is going around town that:
When you see it in the Times it ism t
500
Now for facts. The HERALD has the
copy of yesterdays fight on file, round
by round, as it was sent to this paper
bv the United Associated Presses and
any one who wants to see the evidence
can do so. AS to the Times report be-
Jog "otficial," the public will doubt
that as it's account of the fight by
rounds was the same as that publ shed
in the HERALD, sixteen hours before
the Times was printed.
Furthermore the HERALD knew the
result of the fight last afternoon when
the sixth round was being reported by
the bulletins and for the facts of this
assertion the HERALD refers the
pub ic or the Times to Manager Steel
of the Western Union Telegraph Of
fee.
Now as to what the public think.
The HERALD is willing to put up mo-
ney, although it is not addicted to
betting or Dragging, that the public
appreciated the enterprise of the HER
AID enough to buy more of its papers
on the streets last evening than the
Times sold this morning. The demand
for the HERALD yesterday was so
great that three editions were printed
and the street sales of this
paper was 500 copies more than the reg
ular edition printed for subscribers,
and the HERALD will say right now,
that it is willing to wager that the reg
ular edition delivered to city subscrib-
ers in and around Ell PasO is more than
that of.the Times. This shows how the
pu bile appreciate the enterprise and
push of the HERALD.
The HERALD is not seeking, nor does
it want any newspaper controversy,
but it does not propose 10 stand idly by
and let any contemporary make such
false assertions as the above from the
Times, especially when it is written
by an irresponsible party who makes
all kinds of wild assert OrS, but never
gate5 facts, nor deals in them.
The HERALD is willing 10 show its
books on any of the above assertions
and while it don't know what the Times
street sales were this morning it is
willing to back it's belief that the
Times never sold anywhere near as
many papers on the street this morn |
ing that the HERALD did last evening: |
ding the false report that |
was gotten out last night that Ftzsim-
mons was fatally injured internally as
a result of the fl ht. The HERALD,
however, does not believe the Times in |
any way responsible for such a report, |
o which there was no foundation what |
ever.

THE ORINAL AMERICAN.
Three Expeditions Will be Sent to the
North Pacific Coast.

| Morris K. Jessup, president of the
| American Museum of Natural History
| IN New York, has provided funds which
| will be used by the antropological de-
partment of the museum, under the
direction of F. w. Putnam, for a syste-
| matte exploration of the peoples of the
North Pacific coasts between the
AmOor river in Asia, and the Column mbia,
in America.
Three expeditions will be fitted out,
whose work, carried on in the state of
Washington and in British Columbia,
at Behring straits and along the
Asiatic coast, will cover period of six
years. The first of these parties will
leave for Washington and British Co
lumbia toward the end of May. 1t viii
consist probably of four me under Dr.
Franz Boas, assistant curator OF the
museum, and will include Hiram L.
Smith, assistant in the museum, who
will have charge of the archaeological
Investigations.
The expeditions to Siberia and Alas
ka, whose personnel is not yet decided
upon, will probably start this fall and
next spring respectively. The chief
object of these e peditions will be to
investigate the origin and early history
OF the American race, and to trace it's
relations with the races of the old
world inssthe north. The relations be-
tween the American and Asiatic people
have been a much-discussed problem
and it is proposed to go over the ground
in more through and systematic way
than has ever been attempted before.
This is to be done before completion of
the Siberian railway and other civiliz-
ng influences have destroyed the per-
nitive conditions now existent in
lOrthern Asia.
