The Latest Blow at shipping.

In a recent issue The Times called atten-
tion 10 the wickedness of the pingley bill
in placing a practically prohibitory duty
on cheap Chinese and japanese mattings.
tie effect of which would be to place
them out OF the reach of poor American
houseSeepers. The Maritime Association

same outrage on different but highly i'm
rortant grounds.
II appears that every year we send to
China a large quantity of Kerosene oil
1t has been possible for American ships TO
engage in this business, because they could
secure return cargoes of cheap Chinese
mattings. The Dingley bill would pro-
bnit the mattings and drive these Ameri-
can vessels out of the business.
Here is Il beautiful illustration of the

The Passing of Stanley.

One by one our idols are knocked down
from their nichcs in the wall and smashed.
The inevitable house-cleaning Of the CEN
turies comes around and reveals them TO
be moth-eaten, dusty and fraudulent We
have lost Pocahoutas, and William Tell, and
Robin Hood 1t is proved that Columbus
got his notions from Moorish schools in
Spain instead OF inventing them all out
of his own head. The whale never
swallowed Jonah, and the Jews never
swallowed the whale story. But our i'm
agination still fondly clung to Henry NJ
Stanley.
II was supposed that Stanley, commits
this was long before the days of new
Journalism had gone to Africa, found
Livingston, found out any quantity of
other things, and given to the world
new continent. 1t was supposed that Mr..
Stanley had done this all by himself, eX-
cept for the assistance OF DR.. Livingston;
and that the big books which subsequently
appeared were chronicles Of the glory of
one of the most intrepid explorers OF
modern times.
But now pops up the inevitable icono-
clast; and as one might have expected,
heis Bostonman. Hisnameis Sparhawk,
and his other name is Augustus. Neither
name has ever been associated with African
history so far as we know. But in 1871,
SO Mr.. Sparhawk says, he was acting con-
sui at Zanzibar, and incidentally con-
Quoting a large business at that celebrated
burg; so that he knew great deal about
the geography of the country, especially
the interior, and about the habits OF the
natives, especially the fierce and warlike
natives To him, then, Stanley went for
information. He got it. Perhaps he got
all the information that there is in all
the big Stanley books He took Mr.. Spar
hawk into his service, or maybe it was
the other way about. AT any rate, the
two of them went intrepidly into the great
geographical darkness of the past. Mr.
Sparhawk says he did most of the work
All that was twenty-five years ago. Mr..

RUMORS ABOUT LAMONT.
The Ex-Secretary May Become 1
Railroad President,

New York. March 30.-The Press says:
Daniel s. Lamont may become president
of the Northern Pacific Railway That Is
the report in Wall street and it is be-
lieved in some quarters, although definite
Information is denied. 1t is said that ]
Pierpont Morgan has the power to name
the president of the Northern Pacific and
that he will besotw the title on Lamont.
Mr.. Lamont sgnified his intention to
return To business in New York by beCUm-
ing director of the Union National Bank
in last January. The office of president
of the Northern Pacific would not be in
conflict with his present interests and he
would not be away from friends, as he
has several of them n the directory. Thrn.
too, Lamont would probably be accepta-
hle to Deutsche bank interests in that
road.
There is no regular vacancy for presi-
deut of the Northern Pacific road until
next September, when Edwin W. Win
ter's term expires. MIR. Winter is a Min
uesota man and il may be that the direc-
tors even before September, may decide
that it would be wise policy to select
an Eastern man.
