London telegram of October 26 sums up the situation iu Africa as follows: Dispatches sent from the front are so diversified and contra dictory that it is difficult to outline the situation with any degree of pre- cisiou. Three or four main facts, however, stand out prominently. General Symons' fight at Glencoe was not anything like the decisive victory at first alleged and General Yule would in all probability have been annihiIated or have met with the same fate as the captured hus- sars if he had not retreated. Gen ! Wnise's artillery duel at Reitfonteir was a very severe engagement iI ' which rifles did great execution and in which success was achieved al { distressing cost.

At a meeting tn Baltimore of the American Folklore society Dr. Wash ington Matthew's uf Washington read paper un "icthyoph0biA. l" which he de- scribea as an antipathy to fish. This avsrsi1n is especially strong in the Ma Vaio. Apache and other Indian tribes of tbe far southwest. who will not eas esh or hNve anything Co do with articles made in Ehe shape of fish. This "taboo' with the Navaios extends to all things connected with water, A probable req son wb.T no mors children of tkess tribes Aie sent east Co he educated. DE Matthews thought was fear that they might he required to OTsroome this cher ishei taboo" superstition. which is aa firmly rooted as any religion
 A legend to account for this fish '.ta boo was given- There was a time when food was scarce. and the mountain Indians had a big powwow with the river Indiana The result was that the river Indians agreed ts Kill no deer, but live entirely on fish, and the mountain Indians agreed to eat DO hSh. but live entirely upon deer This made food plenty for both.
 In the discussion of the paper it was stated that the Zuni Indians will not eat fish because savage tribes in desert lands regard water as acred because of its scarcity. and this reverence extends to animal life in water. Several men- bers thought perhaps this idea conveyed the true reason for the fish ''tAboo. " Baltins--e Sun.

case clearly and tersely and came out squsrely in support of the pol icy of the administration in taking the Philippines under national pro tectior. He said: To my mind there were but four unaltersble Al- ternatiyes. We were obliged either to leave the islands under Spanish control, for a renewal of hosIilities; We were obliged to leave them to destroy themselves in internecine strife; we could have left them to be fought over by European nations, or we could have assumed the posi- ton of protectors of the islands. l see no other conclusion and the fourth alternative was the only one which ought to have been taken. We did take it and this great trust must be administered"

Ernes: Ingersoll writes for St. Nich0- las a paper on the Greater New York entitled Reasoning Out Metropolis. :" Mir. Ingersoll says:
 The merchants of New York sent to the continent of Europe more ships than the merchants of other cities. who trad ed mainly with Great Britain. 50 that this city was better known throughout Europe, and her vessels were the handi- est for emigrants from Franco Ger many and Holland. Agents of ;he New York merchants and of the government who were seeking and encouraging im- migration. could show that this port was the most advantageous landing place for a man who was going on west. and the sea captains explained that it was the safest and quickest port to make because the course lay south of the stormy, foggy region north of Cape Cod, and the city was much closer Co the open sea than either Philadelphia or Baltimore. At any rate immigration increased in favor of New York as time went on, and the stream of incoming people swelled until in the decade fr0u8 1884 to 1894 it amounted to about 500. .- 900 immigrants a year, 5s0, 6s6 arriv. ing ia 1890 alone, not counting thGss from Canada ard Mexico.

ONE GLASS OF WINE.
A Belief That It Changed the History
 ef This Country.

( Belief That It Changed the History
 ef This Country.
 It is said that a single glass of wine probably wrecked the Democratic party in Is6Q The story is worth telling After the breaking up of the national Democratic convention at Charleston the party in Georgia held A state con yention. Great excitement prevailed. The leaders of the party could not agree It was a critical period
 The majority report indorsed the se- ceders or bolters at Charleston, while the minority report opposed their ae- tion The leading champion of the mi nority was Herschel V. Johnson. and his followers were confident that bis eloquence and logic would carry the day.
 It is quite likely that such would have been the case but for an nnfoTtu nate pishap. Ex-Govsrnor Johnson be gan his speech before the noon adjourn. ment on the second day and concluded after dinner
 old men who remember that speech say that it was a powerful argument and the impression gained ground that after the noon recess the speaker would demolish his opponSnts with a few sledge hammer blows
 But the overconhdent friends of the minority report were doomed to disap pointment. Johnson felt the strain Of the morning session SO much that he was unable to eat anything. and be took a glass of wine upon sn empty stomach to strengthen himself This was fatal mistake. That one glass of wine per. haps changed the destiny of the nation | The great orator resumed his speech but the wine had nauseated him He was haZy, verbose and unintelliRible as times. His style and argument lacked yigor, consistency and positiyeness His friends locked at one another in despair The men on the other side were exuit ant It was evident that the speaker had damaged his own cause
 Then Howell Cobb and Henry K Jackson followed each other for the ma jority report. They spoke with an air OA OApcOAa1s talAAA fH o10 S@ PNNANN sAO convention.
 The majority report was adopted is is unnecessary to follow the history of the next few weeks The national De mocracy was completely disrupted and put two tickets in the field Lincoln was elected and the country was pIung ed into a civil war Had Johnson sue ceeded in inducing the Georgia eonven tion to adopt his conservative ideas. iI is saI, to say that other southern states would have fallen into line with our comm wealth. and the national Demo cratic party would have remained ! united
