caused by the firing of guns, the beat
ing of innumerable drums and the blast
of penetrating three noted trumpets, re-
vealed our proximity to the palace.
1--WE then had to wait for three hours
in a mud hut until the king should
deign to see us, but at last messenger
came to take US into the royal presence.
The streets round the palace were

incessant.

There's a little band of singers
Every evening comes and fingers
Meath the window of my cottage in the

And with dark they raise their voices,
While the gathering night rejoices,
And the leaves join In the chorus with the

Then the twinkling stars come out

And the squirrels range themselves upon a
log;
Aud the fretlies furnish light,
That they read their notes Alright

NOT VERY UNIT.

The paramount issue isn't working
very WELL 1t doesn't seem to be as
paramount as Brother Bryan said it
was. In Vermont, whose freemen would
probably be as afraid of real imperial
ism as anybody would be, there was no
scare. The Republican vote was 4S,466,
or almost up to the highest total ever
recorded by the party, save when it was
swollen by great number of Demo
cratic voters four years ago, while the
Democratic, which had not in twenty
years before 1888 failed to exceed 10000,
was but 1898.
Maine voted yesterday, and while the
returns are not complete there is no in
dioation that "the paramount issue"
was very paramount there. AS time
goes ON perhaps the discouraged Dem
ocrats will forsake the paramount is

down to sure defeat with at least the

THE WALLED CITY OF KANO.
An Interview With Mid-African Sui
tan

tan.
The Rev. I. A. r. Richardson, mem
Der of the expedition that Bishop Tug
well led into the heart of Africa, is now
in England, and has been interviewed
by Reuters representative.
The journey seems to have been full
of incident, and Mr.. Richardson's de-
scription of the town of Kaho, six
hundred miles in the heart OF Africa,
and known to all Hausas as the centre
of the world" is most interesting.
"As in all other Hausas towns there
was nothing to be seen from without
he says, save the bare exterior of a
great wall forty feet high, its sinuous
summit standing out red and clear
against the deep blue sky. The length
of the wall with it's round shaped tur-
rets, seemed almost interminabe
stretching out a mile or two on each
| side of the city gates, Round this is a
moat eight feet deep.
1--WE rode uD the steep pathway
which led over the moat to the city gate
and entered a strong tower, which pro-
teeted the massive wooden door, well
covered with strips of iron. Two huge
beams of wood rested against the wall.
These are nightly proppsd against the
door to prevent entrance into the city,
for Kanos gates have neither lock nor
key.
From within the city we were able to
observe that the walls were enormously
thick at their base, but thinned off to
the breadth of foot near the top
mot house was visible Nothing
was to be seen but field upon field of
cultivated land upon which the people
rely for food in the event of protract-
ed siege, With much seremony we were
escorted to our house, which lay two
miles away. We passed the celebrated
rock, the Dala Rock, supposed to con-
tain gold, of which some fable exists
that the day the white man extracts
the gold, that day the kingdom of Kano
shall perish

IMMEDIITE,

| IF another issue is paramount, this
is immediate. 1t will admit of no delay
and will suffer no postponement," So
says the President concerning the free
silver issue, and no part of his letter of
acceptance is so impressive as that in
which he sets forth the attitude and
intent of the three free silver parties.
He points out that, as in 1896, the three
silver parties are united under the same
leader who Immediately after the cleo
ton of that year in an address to the
bimetallists, said: THE friends of BIZ
metalism have not been vanquished;
they have simply been overcome. They
believe that the gold standard is a con-
spiracy of the money changers against
the welfare of the human race. And
they will continue the warfare against
it."
The three silver parties reiterate the
demand of the Chicago platform for
1.-THE immediate restoration of the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver and gold
at the present ratio of 16 to / without
waiting for the aid or consent of any
other nation" That ought to settle
their hash, and we guess 1t will.
