| King Meneleks Fantastic Claims and the Traditions Relating to Them. | The strong probability that Menelek, Emperor of Abyssinia, will visit Jerusa- lem in 1900 raises anew the fascinating | problem of the real or mythical descent of the Abyssinian royal house from Maqueda, Queen of Sheba, and Solo, 1 mon the mighty Jewish potentate The Abyssinians firmly believe and steadfastly adhere to both legends, if legends they be, which most church. men maintain is the case. With all due respect to clerical judgment, however, the matter seems to be enveloped in much obscurity, for it cannot be said that the arguments against the Abys- sinian theory possess anything ap- preaching to the finality which their advocates would have us understand Notwithstanding the fact that the visit of Maqueda Cor Makalle, as she is sometimes called), Queen of Sheba, to Solomon took place three thousand years ago, it was, strange to say, only as recently as the beginning of the six teenth century that a definite state ment put in concrete form of the Abys-

This may partly be explained by the com para tive obscurity which has ever reigned over the land of Ethiopia (Abyssinia, as it Is now called, Is a Portuguese cor ruption of Habessinia, the name given to Ethiopia by the Arabs); but more especially by the Mahometan conquest of Egypt in the seventh century, which forced the Abyssinians to take refuge among their sombre, inaccessible and fantastic mountain ranges, and to dis appear within these rugged fastnesses for nearly a thousand years, as Gibbon puts it, 'forgetful of the world, by whom they were forgotten" It was due to the enterprising and enlightened genius of King John V. of Portugal that Abyssinia emerged once more from the blackness of night which had encom- passed her for so many centuries.
 At the end of the fifteenth century Portuguese adventurers on the west coast of Africa heard rumors of a pow erful Christian ruler in the far interior The "word'' had been brought to Can dace, Queen of Ethiopia, through Phil ip's instrumentality in 4.

 When Frank Phiscator, who came out of the Klondike country with about one hundred and forty thousand dol lars, first went there, not many months ago, he staked a claim on Fl Dorado creek. At that time Fl Dorado creek was unstaked, and he was the first to try it's merits or demerits. From the first he struck gold averaging from fif- ty cents to two dollars and a half a pan. For six days he had it all to him. self.
