There are None So Blind as
Those Who Will Not See."

There are some people who cannot be
convinced that white is white and
black is black, because they are deter
mined to have their own way about ii.
Very good. Such people go through
life missing the great truths and the
greatest happiness as we'll as comfort.
There are others again who are con-
vinceable. 1t is to the men of this class
that we like to talk about the merits
of our clothing.
They are better than nine-tenths of
the made-to-measure clothes turned
out in this city and the equal of the
other tenth.
Alfred Benjamin & Co.'S clothes cost
about half the price of made to order
clothes and have every desirable at
tribute of the very best made to meas
ure garments, besides embodying many
unmatchable features strictly their
own That is why we say investigate
the merits of the clothes bearing this
label before going to tailor. You risk
nothing and stand to win lot.

Little information up to the present
has been Forthcoming as regards the geo
graphical and scientific results OF Maj.
Marchand's famous journey across Cen
trail Africa, says a correspondent OF the
Birmingham Post, since, for some rea-
son, the Paris Geographical Society has
not as yet thought At to invite the ex-
plorer to give an account of his travels
at the Sorbonne. 1t is therefore difficult
to form an accurate estimate OF the I'M
portance of his contributions to geograph-
ical knowledge; but In Anglo-African cir
cIes the most interesting fact, ana one
that may have the greatest influence upon
the economic development of the Soudan
and the Nile provinces. which Maj. Mar
chands mission has demonstrated, ant
which he has recently made known, is
the feasibility Of almost uninterrupted
water communication from the Congo to
the Nile l have before me sketch plan
drawn by Maj Marohand of his journey.
which shows that by the new route OPEN
ed UP by his mission 1t is possible to 60

the exception of a small break of seventy
six klometers from Meme to Tamboura,

OCEAN RATES ADVANCE.
High Passenger Fares VIII Prevail
for Several Months.

The local officers of the transatlantic
steamship companies have received advices
Of general advance in passenger rates.
The rate from New York to London, Paris
and Bremen, has been raised from 800 to
$40 first cabin and a corresponding in
crease in tariff Is made to and from all
other European points.
The advance. II is stated, Is general over
all lines and will have, It is believed,

For several months past It has been hint
ed that there would be reduction in ocean
ton, but conditions are now about to be
reversed. The British-Boe war has worked
a benefit to the Atlantic liners as the En-
glish government has pressed" a large
number of vessels intended for the Paris
trade and IL now using them as transports.
The American lines have also suffered so
there is general scarcity OF boats to take
care of the exposition business.
The rates will remain at the new figures.

The nitro-glycerine house was stu
ated in the southeastern part or the
company's grounds. No other damage
was done
The cause of the explosion has not
yet been ascertained.
Jealousy between two of the en-
ployes is believed by some to be the
probable cause of the explosion. Al
first, when the rumor that woman
was at the foundation of the disaster
went abroad it was not credited; but
later developments of the day have
gone to show that such is the fact
1t is now known that Mulholland ana
Talbot, two of the men Who were
killed, were very fond of a woman re-
siding at Pinole. There was hard feel-
ing between the two men.
Last night they had hard words, ana
Mulholland was heard to say that ne
would get even. Shortly before the ex-
plosion this morning person con-
nected with the powder works passed
the nitro house, and Mulholland ana
Talbot were fighting. Morgan ap-
peared to be trying to separate them.
Five minutes later the explosion came.
There seems little doubt but that the
quarrel and fight of the men was re-
sponsible for the explosion.

ington for the purpose. Captain Car
ter was taken to Governors Island and
handed over to Captain B. ]. Roberts,
commanding officer. with orders to keep
strict guard and put Captain Carter III
close confinement. Captain carter is
now in one of the upper easement cells
in Castle William. lie viii he notlhe
of his dismissal from the army, and
will be handed over to the civil au-
thorities in New York.
l.. L. Kellogg, of the law firm OF Kel-
logg. Rose & Smith, called upon Cap
tain Roberts and asked permission TO
see Captain Carter. Mr.. Kellogg re-
fused to make statement on behalf
of Captain Carter.
Charges were preferred against Cap
tain Carter by General John NJ. Wilson,
Chief of Engineers, December 13, 1897.
These charges were made after the in
vestigation by a board of engineers OF
the River and Harbor Works, at Sa7
vannah, Ca, and other points in that
district, which had been under the
supervision of Captain Garter The
charges mainly consisted of a declara-
ton that Carter had entered into a
conspiracy with other persons to de-
fraud the United States. 1t was alleged
in the charges that Carter and certain
parties had defrauded the United
States out of from 81 100000 to S2,00o,-
000
The trial of the charges by court
martial, over which General Otis, now
commanding in the Philippines, pre-
sided, lasted several months. The Judge
Advocate of the court was Colonei
Thomas F. Barr, and the court itself
consisted of officers in nearly every
branch of the service and of high rank.
