PRESENT DAY THOUGHTS.
BY G.. Grosvenor DAVE.

A glance over Africa: At minor
port of the Gold Coast, a small but
thoroughly equipped railroad is in eX
istence, solely designed for bringing
mahogany logs from the upper Assinle
River to the coast, instead of permit
ting them to float to the coast as here
tofore This fact is cited as a type
of the influences that will re-make At
RIGA in the next twenty-five years.
Railroads and electric lines, designed
for purposes of pure commercialism,
will inevitably open the way for all
that is modern and energiZing in the
colonizing nations of the world. The
knell is sounding for the Dark Cont

for development are almost limitless.
Twenty-Five years ago the map OF
Africa was mainly guess work. Large
spaces were set down as desert that
have since proved to be productive,
and the boundaries Of the different in
terror territories were curved in sus-
picious beauty and regularity. The

was still regarded as a mystery The
traveller who chose to let his magma
ton run riot regarding things he had
seen, either asleep or awake, could do
so with impunity; beyond which point
the yellow journals have scarcely pro-
gressed whenever they refer to Africa,
even now. The bravery and devotion
of LIVINGSTONE were then new story
and Henry M. Stanley had just started
for the expedition during whose course
he partially surveyed Lake Victoria
Nyanza and which ended in his reap
pearance via the Congo, to pen his
great story of ACROSS the Dark Con-
tinent." Of course partial exploration
had preceded all this in many direc-
tions. In 1866, DR.. Barth crossed the
Great Desert and added to our know
ledge of the Niger, only however to
leave the impression that this vast
river of the west coast was feeder CT
the Nile. On this same river also,
Mungo Park in 1896 experienced a
number of dubious adventures and ex-
plored the river for 100 miles from its
mouth This same region also and
much other of the African coast, was
known and traded with by the Phoe-
nicians of old, whose beads are even
now dug up occasionally by the inhab-
itants of the Guinea coast and used as
ornaments by native royalty. In the
South as early as 1862 the Dutch had
possession of the Cape Of Good Hope,
having themselves ousted the oortu-
gese and themselves being ousted by
the British Yet after all is said re-
garding efforts made, territory sub

tury it may be summed up safely as
trifling and Ineffective.

1t is very gratifying to realize that
at last the great East of our common
country has awakened to consciousness
of the fact that Pacific commerce is
not of local but of National character.
It has taken a long time for the truth
but it has now been accomplished anu
we note a general and solicitous ac-
tivity that the possibilities Of the COM
merce of the Pacific should be fully
developed. We are getting now a broad
and national view of a matter that has
until very recently been held by our
brethren at the East to have very little
of other than local Importance. There
will now be no more sighting of Pa

In less than ten years, and possibly
in less than i've, kilograms for Cape
Town can be sent via Cairo. In fif-
teen years, possibly even ten. men can
take train in the north of Africa and
ride to its southernmost point. In
twenty-five years the Transvaal will
exist no more as a Republic. 1t will
have been swallowed up by the SUI
premacy of the British interests around
1t and in it. Delagoa Bay will no
longer be Portuguese; in fact, 1t is
doubtful if Portugal will then retain a
single one of her possessions on Afri-
can soil. She will have sold them out
right or have been embroiled in the
disputes of her more powerful neigh
bors and thus have lost her territory
altogether. The Congo Free State will
be less Belgian and more English. The
coast settlements of the Gulf of Guinea
will have spread back into the Soudan

1t is discreditable to San Francisco
that a brawling mob should have been
permitted to take possession of the

had retired. This mob we are told by
the San Francisco press ruled Market

kirC of the Belgians--now stretches
froH the Atlantic Ocean to the great
equatorial lakes. On the south north
ward the Star of Empire has taken it's
way till even the Transvaal, once
thought of by it's founders as safe frem
all disturbance and surprising, has
already been left behind and Rhodesia
stretches out the hand of it's rule
toward the Zambesi and onward again
to the equatorial lakes On the east
the territory has all been amicably di
yided among the Great European ma
tions, even though not yet settled.
Now that the partition has been effect
ed, the international race for CONNER
cial development and political suprem-
acy has definitely started If the Brit
ish are true to their genius and alive
to their opportunities, there can be but
little doubt as to the victor Militarism
in the north under General Kitchener
and commercialiSm in the south under
Cecil Rhodes have already given the
British a control through the center
of the continent from the Mediter-
ranean to the Antarctic Ocean with the
exception of 700 miles belonging to
German East Africa. The sale of
Italy's port of Erithrea on the Red Sea
together with the region called British
East Africa, almost surround Abys-
sinia with British influence At Della
goa Bay, still owned by Portugal, the
British influence is supreme and thus
largely cuts off the TransvaaI from
ocean communication. Then from the
mouth of the Niger to Cape Verde,
British influence is almost uninter-
rupted.
1t is not really difficult to glance
ahead and say what is to be; for given
human nature as it is, human enter
prise as it has shown itself, and racial
differences as they exist, one can give
even more than a shrewd guess regard
ing the future. Twenty-Five years will
see as vast changes in Africa as seven
ty-five years have seen in the United
States; for the powers of the railroad,
of electricity, and of modern machinery
will be brought to bear upon the 1Afri-
