NEW RACE OF APE MEN.
Found by British Traveller I'm the
Heart of Africa.

dispatch from London says that Sir
Harry Hamilton Johnston, special commits
sioner for the Uganda protectorate, has re-
turned, after an absence of two years. He
brings stories of Uganda rivaling Henry
NJ Stanleys description of Darkest
Africa.
Sir Harry relates that the country sur
rounding Moantelgon is totally depopulated
as result of inter-tribal wars, and is con-
sequently marvelously stocked with big
game that are as tame as English park
deer. ZebraS and antelopes can be ap-
preached to within ten yards, and there
is no sport in killing them Elephants and
rhinoceros are also abundant and, accord
ing to Sir Harry, lions in Uganda are too
busy eating hartebeeste to notice a passing
caravan. The prehistoric giraffe has been
discovered in this country by the commits
sioner, who proposes to maintain the region
referred to as a national park
He photographed a race of ape men In
the Congo forest different entirely from
Stanley's pigmieS, and secured phonograph
records of their language and music. Sir
Harry says that twelve varieties of rubber
tSees are found in this country in ineXhaus-
tible supply.

FINANCIAL CONDITIONS IN JAPAN.
Public Opinion Turning Toward a
Foreign Loan.

Public Opinion Turning Toward
Foreign Loan.
Consul General Bellows at Yokohama has
sent the following clipping from the Japan
Daily Mail of May 3, 1901, in regard to
financial conditions in Japan, to the State
Department.:
Japanese public opinion is gradually
turning toward a foreign loan. Even in
quarters where this expedient has not hith-
erto been approved, it is now very strongly
recommended. Unhappily, the time is very
i'll suited for an appeal to the money mar
kets of Europe or America, not only be-
cause the floating capital of Europe has of
late been subjected to a heavy drain, but
also because Japan's credit is not good at
present Whether it be her misfortune or
her fault, Japan never comes upon the
worlds financial stage in any character
save that Of an impecuniouS state. 1t is to
her momentary embarrassments that the
attention of the foreign public is constantly
drawn: not to her resources or her oppor-
tunities. Her unique difficulty at present is
that her large surplus of revenue does not
suffice to meet her extraordinary outlays on
account of productive enterprises, and that
she cannot obtain loans from her own peo-
pie, who find that all their available money
may be employed much more protitably
than in lending it to the government. There
is no question of real impecuniosity. The
whole problem is to find the means of util
izing wealth-earning opportunities. No west
ern country would hesitate to appeal to for
eign capital under such circumstances, and
If Japan were a western state she, too,
would not hesitate"

ONE sometimes hears people say
that the high prices Of cattle for the
last few years will soon lower prices
for beef animals and feeders. Any
person who has lived here a good
many years, and who compares the
large number of cattle now in the
county with those of a few years ago,
would naturally suppose that the
world was becoming 0verstockcd with
cattle. But the contrary is the case.
There have been several millions OF a
decrease during the last seven or eight
years, not only Of cattle, but Of sheep
and hogs. In 1892 there were in the
United States $685. ,239 cattle. Last
year there were 27,6l0,054-a decrease
of few more than ten millions in
eight years. or sheep, in 1893, there
were 4f,273,553. In 1899 there were
80, III, Asa decrease of a few more
than eight millions in six years. Last
year, however, there was an increase
of something over million in sheep.
But there are now less sheep in the
United States by nearly seven millions
than there were seven years ago.
The decrease in hogs has been greater
than in any other of the food an
imals. In '92 there were $685., ,O19
hogs. These detailed figures show
beyond all dispute that there is every
reason for continuance of high prices
for beef cattle. With less cattle and
other lneat-producers by several mill
ions that there were seven years ago.
and with the meat-consumers con-
stantly increasing, there is bound to
be a continued free demand for
beef, mutton and pork, and, with
a free demand, there must be
continuance of high prices. In the
matter of feeders however, the short
age of corn in the feeding states, and
its consequent high price, will make
it bad for the man who doesn't see his
way clear to keep his feeders over
until next year. But hay is plentiful
in North Dakota this year, and every
one should put up all he can until
winter begins, to the end that all our
feeders may be kept at home until
they are a year older.

he succeeded in doing. The jury rem
