SUSPICION.

New Orleans Times Democrat.
During the occupation Of New Orleans
by the federals," said an old citizen in a
story telling humor, II made the &C.
quaintance of a very agreeable Massa-
chusetts man who was not in the army,
but who was an intimate friend of Cen
eral Butler. One day he hunted me I'm
and asked, without much preface, for a
loan of 5000. I couldn't we'll spare the
money, but through motives of policy
let him have it. He went away, promis-
ing to return the amount within a GER
tain time, n as 1 anticipated 1 heard
nothing further from him. Now, under
ordinary circumstances continued thu
old citizen, 5000 was not a sum / was
apt TO forget. but I had regarded the
loan as lost from the outset, and in the
troublous times that followed the Incl
dent passed completely out Of my mind.
For over a dozen years I don't believe
I ever recalled 1t once. In 1878 or there
abouts-I forget h exact date-I had
occasion to &c to Boston, and while walk
ing along fremont street was suddenly
accosted by a well dressed, middle aged
a whose face was wholly strange to
me. Isn't this Mr.. So-and-so of New
Orleans?' he exclaimed grasping me by
the hand. Yes I replied cautiously,

A LINGUTST.

The German Emperor, as q linguist, ap-
peared to advantage during his recent
visit to England. His English IL free
from all but the slightest accent, and
is terse and idiomatic. He talks it a GOOD
deal. n without any hesitation. His
French, which as q rule is only used
playfully and in inverted commas, as it
We're, has the genuine Partisan "racl.."
Tne empress also talks English we'll, but
with a strong accent and with an occa-
sional quaint turn of a phrase. The boys
vastly prefer their mother tongue. and
are apt to shy a little If an Unexpected
speech is addressed to them in English.
But they understand the language all the
same. To hear the Prince of Wales speak
German is like hearing a German born
aiiu pre0. Ihere is nothing strange about
this. however, considering his ancestry.

THE ARID REGION.

LECT ALL DATA POSSIBLE M
REGARD TO IT. a. =.

Washington, JAN. 22.-The preliminary
work of the census office In collecting da-
Ia relative to the arid and sub humidf re-
gions shows that during the past ten
years vast areas have been reclaimed
by irrigation, both by ditching from run
ming streams and drilling for su~bterrane-
an waters.
Where only a few years ago the sage
brush struggled for existence In the midst
of a waste Of alkali and sand, to-day are
nefds OF waving grain and blossoming
Orange-groves. Hundreds of miles of
canais and bitches have been constructs
ed; hundreds of wells have been SUNK.
n thousands of acres of a n have been
cultivated in where once the DESC
lation of Sahara reigned.
Moistened by fresh waters and ~fertiliz-
ed by the rich silt of the swift mountain
streams, once trackless wastes and desc.
late valleys in the arid southwest. have
become as fertile as the famous valley of
the Nile. and send forth crops of endless
variety and exceeding abundance.
Irrigation in intensive farming. Where
the water supply is ample, it is sure
farming: There are no failures, and
lrrigator is like the trained engineer with
mis- hand on the lever. The movements
OF his han regulate the amount of water
supplied to his fields as those of the en-.
gineer control his engine.
In most Of the irrigable sections of the
west. fertilizers have never been used.
although the land has been constantly
cultivated for over two centuries. n
many sections fields may be seen which
have yielded successive crops of wheat
for forty years and show no diminution
of productive strength. ~@SsT-
Wonderful progress is shown in the
methods Of constructing canals, dams.
n pumping machinery. and inG4he
manner of distributing water. Modern
Inventions in machinery have greatly
lessened the time, labor, inc cost Of con-
struction and management and made
possible many gigantic e~nterprises 81
and reclamation n water utilization.
Mountains have been tunneled and
whole rivers have been lifted from their
beds and spread over the valleys pre-
cisely as wanted. High up in the ranres
and on the elevated plateaus immemse
storage reservoirs have been construct
ed to imDound the food waters Of .,the

Manila, Jan. 81. 10 p. m.-The escort, of

which was ambushed near Lipa. consisted
of fifty convalescents from the hospital
who We're going to rejoin their regiment.
The insurgents hid in the bushes along
the road and opened fire upon the pack
train from three sides.
The Americans, in addition to their
casualties, were compelled to abandon
their train, which consisted Of twenty
two horses. The latter, with their packs,
all fell into the hands Of the insurgents.
who pursued the retreating escort for
three miles along the Dad until the
Americans were reinforced. M;
Mai advices from Negros brings parti-
culars of the uprising last month in the
southern part of the island, in which
Lieutenant Ledyard, Sixth infantry, was
killed. Instead of being an unimportant
revolt Of native police, as was at first re-
ported, 1t appears to have been an at
tempt to overthrow American authority.
The movement was started by the chief
officials of the autonomous government,
the men who were elected and Inaugural
ted with so much ceremony last Novem-
Der. Eleven of these officials, including
the president and several councillors,
vera edged in Jail on a charge Of plotting
treason. Several secured their release
under heavy bonds, but others remain in
prison.
General Smith found evidence that the
revolving police were following the orders
OF the autonomous government, which
designed to use the forces under it's con-
troll to overthrow the Americans. The
plot failed through being started prema-
turely, but Negroes was in a state of un-
easiness. Two companies Of the Forty.
sixth infantry were hurried from Iloile Ia
reinforce the garrison at Bacalor. +
The officials arrested include some Of
the most prominent men in Negroes. 1t is
believed that the will be expelled from

AUTOMOBILES.

The Congo Free State is inquiring into
the advisability Of introducing horseless
wagons to carry freight in thickly settled
regions where white settlements have
peen Quilt n the water courses are not
nav1gable. The French have already ia
ken the initiative in sending automobiles
to Africa for transport purposes, and
though the value Of their experiment re-
mains to be proven the Congo State will
probably follow.
The French now have a line Of sta
tons along the upper and middle Niger,
Freight for these stations is carried on
small steamers up the Senegal to the head
OF navigation at Hayes. 1t is then trans
shipped to the railroad. which is COM
pleted as far rs Badullbe, about 40 miles,
and from that point porters carry it to
the Niger and are about two weeks on
the journey. The growing Importance
Of these inland stations makes this slow
freight service really embarrassing, n
as the railroad viii not be completed to
the Niger for several years the distin-
guished French explorer, Felix Dubois,
conceived the idea of utilizing automo-
biles.
Forty-f1ve wagons each of nine or 10
horse power, with a maximum speed Of
eight miles an hour. have been special
~ built in Paris for this service in inland
Africa. The utmost attention has been
given to details of construction and they

conditions of the service as is possible at
present. They are now being sent to
Senegal and will take their places on the
routes between the upper and middle Nj
ger and the terminus of the railroad.
It Is expected to send every week from
each end of the line from four to 10 Of
these wagons, each able to carry about
$500 pounds of freight. One of the wagons
will have accommodations for a dozen
passengers.
It is intended to keep the routes in
good condition for travel, but during the
rainy season the service will be sus-
pended, because. the roads will then be
almost impossible. 1t will take only four
days to cover the distance between the
railroad n the river AS the railroad
advances the automobile routes will be
shortened, and after the completion of
the railroad, the wagons will be trans
ferred to the other side of the Niger,
which will be connected by automobile
routes with such places as Sikasso, Kong,
Say and other towns j nthe rich western
Soudan, where the primitive porterage
service Is the only means of transport.
1t is said the new transport service will
be much cheaper han human porterage,
and hat a great deal of cotton, skins,
gums, honey and other articles that can
not be transported will be taken to Eu-
rOpean markets when this cheaper sery-
ice IL fairly established.
