FROM CAPE TOWN TO BULAWAYO

Mr.. w 7. Stead once very happily
observed that, but for Mr.. Rhodes. the
Cape-tO-Cairo line would not have got
itself built in sections and it would
never have been discovered that it was
a Cape-to-Cairo line until the last gap
had been bridged and the trains were
actually running. There is consider
able truth in this. Although we have
evidence that the CaDe-to-C Cairo idea
was foreshadowed by others than Mr..
Rhodes, yet it was reserved for him
to, as it were, crystalline the idea and
fire the fancy Of his felloWmen
with seemingly impossible and dar-
ing project. Perhaps it was in 1890
the year of Mr.. Rhodes first premier
ship at the Cape-that the Caae-Cairo
scheme began to be talked about. For
three years, the iron horse re-
main stabbed at Vryburg; and in 1893.
the Bechuanaland Railway company
now known as Rhodesia railways
was formed for the purpose of con-
structiug and working railway from
Vryburg to Mafeking and thence
northward towards the river Zambesi
not, be it observed, merely to Pal
apye or Bulawayo, but right away
north to the Zambesi. The section to
Mafeking was opened to traffic in
October, 1894, and the net earnings
for the first ten months were equal to
4 per cent. per annum on the cost of
the section. The line to Gaberones-
1101a maes-was opened in July. 1895;
and two years later the whole section
to Bulawayo was triumphantly COM
pleted. From Cape Town to Bulawayu
is 1850 miles,. H. knight in Epg1-

Visitors to the revivals are taken to
the barges in rowboats. The ignorance
of some of the country people is not
proof against the terrific word pic
lures, drawn by the crude eloauence
of Noah Lynch of the flood which Ia
to devastate the earth. Many of the
converts seem to honestly believe that
Lynch is the modern Noah, and pro-
TESS faith in the certainty of the pro-
phesied flood.
Others of the converts, and the
bulk Of them. are mere shams. Life
in the ark is very easy and much more
attractive to indolent minds and
bodies than the drudgery of farm
work. Each new convert contributes
all of his or her worldly wealth to
the common fund: the surrounding
waters abound with fish, and veget-
ables can be had from the farming
folk in the vicinity for next to moth
ing. The women on the boats per-
form the bulk of the work, and this
consists almost wholly of preparing
the meals which are models of SIM
plicity.
The regulators would never have
been called into life had it not been
for the fact that Noah Lynch and his
cohorts were, like the Mormons of old,
making particular efforts to induce
young country girls to become con-
verts, and in several cases had sue
ceeded. One of the last converts of
this kind was the daughter of a family
famed for its responsibility in the
vicinity, and although the father and
mother exerted strenuous efforts to
induce the girl to return to her home
she resisted all appeals
The fact that the sanctificationists
are followers of the MormCns in the
matter of their domestic life also
helped to bring about the uprising
against them. The feeling had been
very strong prior to their efforts to
convert the young girls, owing to the
number of homes which had been
broken up by the desertiCu of either
the father or the mother

Plans of the American
Hawaiian Company.
NEW YORK TO SEATTLE
Honolulu the Principal Port Of Call
For the Big Steamships
Line.

SEATTLE. Wash. Nov. SIT is the in
'ention Of the recently organized Ameri-
can-Hawaiian Steamship Company of
New York to make Puget Sound the Pa

ers II will within a very short time put
on between Its home ports and ports on
the Pacific. Honolulu will be the princi-
pal port OF call. and the establishment of
the line will assure the rapid growth of
seattle's trade with Hawaii. Seattle, be-
ing the leading city Of Puget Sound. will
virtually be the Pacific Coast terminal
port.
Although IL has been known for some
time that the new company would prob
ABLY sooner or later run It's vessels to
Puget Sound, the first news of its posi-
tive Intention to do so is contained In a
telegram just received by Cook Co..
ship brokers OF this city and Tacoma, In
forming them that they have been APP
pointed Puget Sound agents of the new
line. and requesting them to hold them
selves In readiness for orders.
c. w. Cook. of the firm of Cook a Co,
yesterday stated that the first steamer OF
the new line would probably arrive here
from New York about December l. and
that after that date sailings would be
made from Seattle every thirty days. Mr.
Cook states that the steamers of the com.
pany Will also call at Tacoma His orders
do not state In which city the main Of.
hces OF the company will be located, but
as practically all Of the Puget Sound
trade will be from Seattle, there 10 NJ

States In recent years. Among the largest
owners Of stoc4 in the concern are Flint
Ecdy * Co., one Of the greatest mercan-
tile firms in the word, having branch
houses in every country on the globe.
This fact alone assures the success of the
venture.
The company viii operate on the new
line some of the largest steam freight
carriers aioat. At the present time its
plans are for a fleet CT six steamers, four
OF 5000 tons each and two of 1000 tons
each. Two OF these steamers, the Cali
fcrnian and the Hawaiian. are already
in commission, and the others are now
being built and will be completed as rap
idly as possible.
The Hawaiian. of 5000 tons, was built
by the Cramps and Is now loading in New
York for her first voyage to the Pacific
Coast. The Californian was built in San
Francisco by the Union Iron Works. and
is now engaged in the Government trans
port business between San Francisco and
Manila, having been chartered by the
Government Immediately after she was
launched

York. The vessels will not call at Homo
lulu on their way from New York to Sc

cept raw sugar that fact Is OF but littl
consequence to the merchants Of thi
city.
Heretofore, for various reasons, tn
steamer service between Seattle and tn
islands has been irregular. and as a con
sequence merchants here have been handi

When the new line Is In operation the
will be placed on an equal footing.
