many jointly holds Lake Tanganyika, but Lake Nyassa, the lakes of Zam- besi, the lakes of the Upper Nile and Lake Tchad are controlled by the Gov ernment at London.
 But England has the fertile valley of the Nile, which, after frightful mis- management by the Egyptians and years of recuperation by the English, Is now holding its own. She has the rich country of the Uganda and the surrounding provinces of British East Africa. She has Cape Colony, with it's farming lands and it's ranches. And, lastly, she has the richest part of that Golconda of the world, the diamond and gold fields of South Africa.
 There is one more fact about Eng lands territory and an important one because it bears directly on the rail- road of Cecil Rhodes imagination. The sweeping victory of Kitchener will not warrant in calling the Soudan Egyptian-and therefore British terri tory. A glance at the map will show a straight line of England's territory from Cairo to Cape Town with but one break. The waving of the Union Jack through all those 5000 miles of terri tory is prevented only by a narrow strip of $40 miles. That land was

monster goes through the human sys- tenn with lightning rapidity and causes unspeakable pain and excruciat1ng agony from head to foot. The victim seems to be paralyZed, and yet every muscle, bone sinew and particle of gray matter Is keenly alive to intense pain. The sufferers head seems as If 1t would split open. Very few persons bitten by a Gila monster can speak after the first fifteen minutes, but un- consciousness seldom comes until few minutes before death. Physicians say that the poison sets up a tremendous action of the heart. and the victim really dies of heart failure. The person who has been drinking to excess few days or a few hours before he is in jured by a Gila monster is almost sure of death in half an hour after the bite. Many physicians in the Territory say that alcoholic stimulants are worse than useless for a person hurt by the reptile but Walter H. Vail says he owes his recovery to a prompt use of whisky and the application of am mOnia.
 pr. E. G. Harper who has been been among the Hualipi Indians in Mexico for several years in the interest or science, says the savages there cer- tainly have decoction that is cure, if administered immediately, for the bite of the Gila monster found in that region.

Pres ident Diaz says, however that 1t can be had and he will interest him self to get 1t for the benefit of the peo- ple of the United States, where a death from Gtla monster bite happens once in a while.

It was test or the power of the anti-venom preparation or the Hualipis. The chief medicine man cIaimed that he was 6 wizard, too, and that the great spirit Moz-no-ha, who dwelt on the peak of Orizaba, came down and helped him defy death from the most deadly poisons known among the Indians At the time of the test l witnessed, the medicine man sum, noned a dozen of his assistants arouil9 U a caldron. which was steamlng ana noiling with roots, leaves, horned toads' rattlesnake heads and a score or other l,Inds of articles. 1 was told that this was the anti-poison medicine.

 ."The chief medicine man drunk no- orally of the strange tea gnu .-llo body was literally washed with some liouid that made 1t impervious to poison. The body, bare to the waist was then painted in red and white stripes. A fox hung from the waist. The medicine man bounded into the arena with a 'ho-ho,' brandishing over his head two Gila monsters: Then he varied the prof ~amme by twirling them around his boCy and permitting them to crawl all over him. He leased the reptiles, poked his thumb into their face. I am sure the man was bitten several times.

 A trihing monthly fee will be charged, for which members will have the advantage of a permanent club room, fully equipped with foreign books and periodicals printed with English translations for students, competent teachers in both beginners and ad- vanced classes, graphophones and cyl finders containing the language lessons, with opportunities for conversation practice together with all the informa- tfon and special advantages the club may obtain concerning Parls ana the exposition of 1900.
 The charter members of the 1900 Club are: Mrs H. c. French, Mrs. E. P. Jordan, Mrs. Nellie Holbrook Blinn. Mrs. E. C. Colnon, Mrs. John Gillson, Mrs. M. J. Donovan, Mrs. De Lyons. pr. J. M. Simpson, Mrs. G. w. Cloud, MT. H. J. Dorian, MT. W. E. Little, MT. r. Flawith and Charles Freeman John son.
 Mr Johnson has a graphophone in his bedroom, and every night and morning 1t is, "Au revoir!" Bon jour, Monsieur" from the metallic little teacher at his bedside.

 "We intend to make our club a Chautauqua of languages. In our club rooms we will have graphophones for the use of the members who will hear from little cylinders nothing but the best of French, German and Spanish. We will have competent teachers to dictate to the machines, which the members of the club can then hear as long as they like. Graphophones are cheap. and we will all have them in our rooms ready for use any hour in the day. Close to 300 students are now in- terested here"

Had England stood back of Stanley, had she listened to his plead ings and not driven him to Leopold of Belgium, there would have been an un- broken line of English territory to-day through the center of Africa, from the Mediterranean to the Cape of Good Hope. The Congo Free State makes the single break. Stanley found it. Belgium has established a protectorate. Still the obstacle can be overcome. Leopold is working in entire accord with England's plans. He has es- tabished England's policy of "the open door" in all trade matters. He will place no obstruction to any plans that will lead to development and civiliza- tiOn.

 The charter members of this novel organization met last week In pr. Simpsons office at the Y. M. c. A. building, and formed what will be known as the 1900 Club.
 The prime object of the club is to master one or all of these languages before the Paris exposition In 1900, which many of the members will at tend. The graphophone method will be used to this end, and the system prom ises to work wonders in the study or all foreign tongues

I was once sitting on the porch of my headquarters in the Apache war and I saw my little black and-tan dog nosing with something in the sage brush few yards away. I looked and saw Gila monster dart forth and hiss in the face of the dog, which sprang back at the same mo- ment. l ran and killed the reptile ana the dog went off to sleep near by. It was dead in two hours. Several per sons and I examined the dogs carcass carefully and we could find no evidence of bite on the beast. I am sure it was something in the hiss or breath of the Gila monster that killed the dog.

We were camping along the Gila River one night in summer and at about daybreak one of the mules we had tethered near by raised a commo- tion. The Mexican, who had taken off his boots because of the excessively warm weather jumped up and ran to see what was the matter, while lazily rolled over for another nap. In a mo- ment I heard piercing shrieks and was on my feet before I knew 1t. I snatched up the camp lantern and ran to the Mexican. He was dancing about on one foot and pointing speechless to some thing dangling from the other. I looked and saw a Gila monster.

The Mexicans in Phoenix said that the fact that it was in the middle of a long summer when the man was bitten was what made the poison so venomous."

By that time the Mexican had become calmer He knew what it meant, and he simply said between the pains that darted from the wound through his system, Tt will all be over in an hour He knew we had there no antidote for the poison, and he told me to give his pay to his wife in Phoenix and to go and tell her how he had died.

is the oft-repeated story of British brains and British pluck; the story of that greatest element In the Anglo Saxon character, it's colonizing faculty The fight for territory here Is between England and France-and England wins as she always has won. Look at the map of Africa. In actual area, France holds the most. Her flag flies over three million square miles, while England's control covers only about two millions. But England makes up In quality her lack of quantity. Rough ly speaking, the continent of Africa is divided into three parts. A great low area In the north; an immense table land extending from the Sahara desert southward through the continent; the mountainous region along the coast, the passageway to this table land. The first. the desert of Sahara, is for France; the second, the meat of the continent is for England: the third a sort of rind-belengs for the most part to Portugal and Germany.
 The principal rivers, lakes and har- bors belong mostly to England. The only first class harbor not under Eng fish control is Delagoa Bay, under Por- tuguese rule, and on this the British lion has fixed a gaze which means that he will not be denied. France has the Upper Niger. Leopold of Belgium holds a part of the Congo River. England
 holds the rest of the navigable water ways. English gunboats patrol the lakes. The Congo Free State and Ger

ONDON, Sept. 24.-lt seems only yesterday that public attention
 was centered in Cuba. Then it
 shifted to China. Now it Is
 fixed on Africa. General Kit
 chener has swept all before him at Omdurman. Gordon Is avenged. With the masterly hand of genius Kitchener has moved consistently for ward. After Omdurman, he advances without delay and challenges the French claims in the lower Soudan. He orders Marchand and Liotard to evacu- ate Fashoda, bringing the Anglo French dispute to crisis In the south, Cecil Rhodes makes the wonderful claim that he will build a railroad from Cairo to Cape Town. For the next fifty years nation building prom ises to center in Darkest Africa" Will the French give way? How will the Europeans divide up the continent? What will the effect be on America ? Can Cecil Rhodes carry out his gigan- tic plan? All these questions suggest interesting possibilities.

looks tonight as if the Foraker
resolution, which recognizes the
independence of the republic of
Cuba would pass. That Of
course carries with il the estab-
lishment of the republic by the
government.
The withdrawal of Spain from
the island of Cuba. This is the
general impression, but no one
can tell what change may come
in the senate at any moment.
Some incident, so apt to hap
pen at sea or in diplomatic cir
cles, may occur and change ev-
erything IN a moment. Today
nothing has occurred to excite.
The only thing that has rip
pied the surface of affairs at all
are the reports from Madrid
and other points which point in
some degree to the interposi-
ton of the powers of Europe.
This created indignation and a
bitter feeling generally. The
opinion prevails that the pow
ers will not put their hands into
the trouble other than merely
begging the two nations to put
up their guns.
More than this it is believed
if all the other powers were to
agree to interfere England
would not permit. With per
haps not friend on the cont
nent she cares not a rap fol
Spain and wants to be on the
closest terms Of friendship with
this country. If they should
PERSIST in making a demonstra
ton to force this country into &
more peaceful attitude she
would be most likely to bacl
up the United States.
All negotiations between thi'
country and Spain have closed
The administration is nov
thinking of nothing but war
More ships are being bought

chant vessels, which can b

prepared for war. There ar
