the forest and the number of the

poisoned arrows. The chief told me
the tribes were nomadic and never

London, January 14.-Probably there
has been no such interest circling
around African travellers and geogra-
pliers since the time of Henry M. Stan
ley's expedition as has been caused by
the arrival this week of a young and
hitherto unknown Englishman, Mr..
Albert Bushnill Lloyd, from Central
Africa, after a record journey of three
months from the heart of Africa to
London, travelling over Stanley's route
down the Congo to the west coast. His
journey was in one respect more re-
markable than Stanley's, inasmuch as
Mr.. Lloyd travelled quite alone, so far
as Europeans were concerned, and was
only accompanied by two native SER
wants and small number of carriers.
Moreover, although he marched three
weeks in the pigmy forest and then
traversed the whole length of the Aru-
wimi river, the banks of which are
lined with warlike cannibals, he never
once fired a shot in self-defense On
the contrary, he was on cordial terms
with both pigmies and cannibals.
Mr.. Lloyd is already coming to be a
celebrity and has received a number
of lecture offers. Possibly later in the
year, after the publication of a book
on his experiences, he will lecture in
the United States. His journey west
along the almost untrodden path from
Uganda was hazardous. His own
friends tried to dissuade him, but he
persisted, and on his arrival at the
Congo the Belgians could scarcely be-
Iieve that he had safely run the gaunt-
let of pigmies and cannibals.
On entering the
GREAT PRIMEVAL FOREST,
Mr. Lloyd went west for five days
without the sight of pigmy. Sud-
denly he became aware of their pres
ence by mysterious movements among
the trees, which he first attributed to
monkeys.
stopped at an Arab village, where he
met a great number of pigmies. "They
told me-" says Mr.. Lloyd, that I'M
known to me they had been watching
me for five days, peeping through the
growth of the forest. They appeared
very much frightened, and even when
speaking covered their faces. asked

A dispatch to the Tribune from Ha-
vana says: The most important nom
nations recently announced here arc
those of Mario Menocal as chief OF po-
lice, Perfecto Lacoste as alcalde, or
mayor, and Federico Mora as civil
governor. The latter is not so well
known as the two former, but he is
satisfactory to the conservative Cubans
and Spaniards. He was a member Of
the revolutionary junta in Havana dur
ing the instruction. Menocal WAS
commander Of the insurgent troops in
Havana and Matanzas provinces. His
place in reality will be more than that
of Grief of police in the city. He will
advise with Gen. Brooke and Gen. Lee
in the formation of the rural police
and in other matters of policy and adj
ministration. Perfecto Lacoste was
president Of the Havana revolutionary
junta, and now holds a similar place in
the Junta Patriotica, which succeeds it.

tons analogous TO those Of assistant

who either fought In the insurrection

THE RESEARCH CLUB.

One of the Rev. D. P. Birnie's con-
tributions to the cause of progress in
these Islands is the Research Club. It
was a mastery move within the church
to organize the scattered forces among
the young men beyond the church,
which needed special direction and edu-
cation in the lines Of investigation.
The Rev. Mr.. Kincaid has admirably
continued the guardianship and direc-
tion of the club, which Mr.. BRINE left.
In small communities, especially
where the older people dominate in
numbers and wealth, there usually eX-
lists a social despotism, which forbids
the open and free discussion of many
subjects. One cannot walk about

New York. May 27.-There was q

May gross earnings of Ontario and
