To Explore the Amazon.
The Gunboat Wilmington Instructed
10 Go as Far Up the River as Possible.

The GunbORt Wilmington Instructed
TO Go Far Up the River as Possible.
Commander G. G. Todd of the gunboat
Wilmington, now cruising in Venezuelan
waters, has been instructed by telegraph
to take the Wilmington as far up the Anna
zon river as she can possibly go, for the
purpose of exploring the unknown region
above Mananos, $50 miles from the rivers
mouth. Mananos is the highest point on
the river ever reached by a United States
vessel. In the seventies Captain NOW Rear
eAdmiral) T. O. Selfridge, took the Enter
prise to Mananos and learned many inter
esting things about that part of Brazil.
There has always been great deal of mys-
terry about the upper Amazon. One of Pr
zarro's followers claimed to have gone to
that region in the 10th century and told
many wonderful tales about female war
riors, gold statues and great mineral wealth
to be found there. No reliable informa-
ton about the country has ever been
obtained, however, and the Whining
tons officers will try to ascertain
something definite about the character of
the people, the resources of the region and
the opportunities of extending American
trade there. The Wilmington is
light-draught gunboat, built especially for
river work. She draws only 8 feet 10
inches, and can go up the Amazon, it is be-
lieved, for more than two-thirds of the es-
timated 5000 miles of the rivers length.

Another Chicago Sausage Maker Charg-
ed with Numbering His Wife.

Albert A. Becker, sausage maker, liv-
ing in the stock yards district at Chicago,
was arrested Saturday on suspicion of hav-
ing murdered his wife on Jan 81, for the
purpose of marrying a younger woman
Although the wife's body has not yet been
discovered, the police are inclined to believe
she has been murdered. Becker makes
contradictory statements, and blood spots
have been found on the walls and floors of
barn in the rear of his residence. Eight
years ago Becker married Theresa Hafen-
berg, in Milwaukee, and shortly afterward
moved to Chicago. Six months ago he be-
came acquainted with 17-year-old Ida SUIT
terlin, and, after that, according to his
neighbors, he was extremely cruel to his
wife. A few days before Jan. 81 Becker
asked the Sutterlin girl to marry him, and
when she asked about the woman already
living with him, Becker said she was a sis
ter of his former wife, and was employed
by him as a housekeeper. A few days af-
ter Jan. 81, the day Mrs. Becker disappear
ed, Becker married the Sutterlin girl.

100000 Chinese Threatened with
Starvation.

American residents of Chez Foo, prov
ince of Shang Tung, China. have sent a
petition to the San Francisco Chamber of
Commerce begging that a steamship load
of corn be sent Immediately to relieve the
distress in the province. They say that
fully 1000, 900 Chinese peasants are threat
ened with actual starvation owing to the
Yellow river flood, which is declared to be
the worst in the history of China.
"We believe that if your grain men will
ship to the United States consul in Chez
Foo, direct from the Pacific slope, steam
er loaded with corn, it will be the means of
saving thousands of lives, but also of open
ing up a market of $4,000, 900 to 80, 6O0,-
600 consumers later on"
Reports from missionaries who have in
vestigated the Yellow river, floods show
that the suffering this year is worse than
for many seasons before, because of the
poor crops last year. The water is still
pouring through great break in the banks,
and nothing has been heard of the work of
the engineers whom Ii Hung Chang took
with him. 1t is reported that Lii is on his
way back to Pekin, but if this be true it is
thought it must be because he is an invalid.

The first authentic and official report on
the damage done throughout Georgia by
the recent cold wave shows that the loss on
crops in the state will amount to several
millions dollars. This report is contained
in a special bulletin issued by Forecaster
Marbury, and is compiled from the reports
of several hundred correspondents scatter
ed throughout the state. The bulletin
shows that the cold wave of Feb. 12 and
10 was by far the most severe of any on
record. The temperature fell to the zero
mark almost to the southern limit of the
state, while in the northern counties it
reached 10 or 70 degrees below. Peaches
were nearly all killed in the lower counties,
as well as number of young trees, but in
the northern counties there is reason to be-
lieve there will be medium crop.

came with rude shock TO the people of
Great Britain, who were under the i'm
preston that he was almost solitary wan
derer in the desert. Official circles, how
ever, express satisfaction at the fact that
the khalifa. is apparently determined to
make another onslaught on the Anglo
Egyptian forces, as they are confident he
will easily be defeated. Maj Gen. Sir
Archibald Hunter, the governor of Omdur-
man, is quoted as saying in an interview:
II regard the khalifa as a nuisance. Heis
no longer dangerous and it will greatly
simplify matters if he comes out and fights"
In the meanwhile, detachments of British
troops have been ordered to get ready to
return to Omdurman from lower Egypt
and strong expedition will be formed and
advanced to meet the khalifa.
