Wade Hampton Declines.

Columbia, S. c., May 1S.-Knowing
him to be in needy circumstances, the
people of South Carolina have been
raising fund to build or buy General
Wade Hampton home to replace that
lost lately by an incendiary fire. Thi,
movement has been stopped by the

by them in wishing to reimburse me for
my loss Can never be forgotten. for it ia
priced by me higher than any gift from
them could ever be. 1t is the duty OF
every citizen 10 serve his State when

EXPLORED THE AMAZON.

The Navy Department has received from
Captain Todd, of the gunboat Wilmington, an
account of the voyage of exploration made
by that vessel up the Amazon river in April
last. The Wilmington was instructed to as
certain how far the river was navigable. Cap
tain Todd reports that he assembled to Yqui-
tos, in Peru, which is about 2,1OO miles up
the river. This voyage was made against an
adverse current.
Manaos, at the junction OF the Bio Negros
with the Amazon, has heretofore been re-
garded as the head Of navigation for steam
vessels. 1t is q prosperous city OF 10000
inhabitants. The announcement OF Captain
Todd that he would ascend the river afove
that point caused CONSERVATION and also led
TO some adverse demonstrations against the
American Consul and against the native pi'
lots who assisted the Wilmington's command
er to make the voyage.
Captain Todd succeeded notwil hstanding
these obstacles in ascending the Amazon for
1000 miles above the Mansos and had it
not been for lack of fuel he could have steam
ed 800 miles farther, he believes. AS it was,
the Wilmington, which entered the Amazon
from the Atlantic ocean, was within about
400 miles of the Pacific AMI well into Peru
before it turned back down the river.
Captsin Todd's voyage will, it is believed,
be of the greatest commercial importance,
and the Navy Department probably will take
steps to see that the facts are we'll known to
the maritime world. Unfortunately, Captain
Todd shows the Amazon like the Mississippi,
is 80 changeable in its channel as not to ad.
nit of successful charting, so that expert pi.
lots will always be required

beck, of Holland, were named as vice
presidents, and the conference was di-

ing the establishment of an arbitration
tribunal for the North Central and South
American States, the treaty between
England and the Argentine Republic,
and the arbitrations between England
and the United States.

scene. The first diplomatists of Eu-
rope were present, some OF them in
brilliant uniforms with which were
contrasted the plain afternoon dress Of
the representatives of the republics.
There were only q few women pres
eut among them being the Baroness Won
SuttDer. The journalists, few in num-
Der, occupied seats below the tribune.
They were only permitted to report the
opening speeches. Before adjourning
the secretaries OF the conference were
appointed. There were no Americans
among them. The final committee
divisions were not made today, but
these will probably be arranged at the
next meeting.
