navigation Of the river to Great Brit
ain. and 1t is now entirely under Brit
sh control.
AS waterway boundary between
two nations Is usually considered neu-
trail and Is rarely II ever exclusively
controlled by one Of the contiguous
countries, the condition now prevailing
might seem to demand an explanation.
In answer to query President Of the
Senate King said that the republic had
coded the entire river to the British
government in 1885, at the time the
boundary was delimlted between Il and
Sierra Leone, and that this course was
adopted because of Engand's friendly
advice. At the time the treaty was ne.
gotiated the French had established q
trading station on an island in the river
Manoh. and in order to avoid possible
complications with France the I.ibe.
rians were urged to grant all their
"riverine" rights TO the British.
This Is the naive aud childlike expla.
nation given by the Iiberians them
selves. They admit that the lion put
his paw on their territory by their own
permission, but they hope to induce
him TO remove It by a plain statement
OF the case TO Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain.

Bishop Turner knows the people with
whom he Is affiliated, he knows the
country of which he speaks through
two visits to Liberia, but there are
others who depreoate the sending Of
people fairly well off here to a land
where they will have TO begin life over
again, erect new habitations, open
wilderness and adapt themselves TO an
environment hostile TO their health and
their habltudes. The experiment Of
sending small bodies Of negroes to II.
berla has not turned out well at all,
most Of them becoming homesick
many Of them adopting the semlsayage
mode OF life Of the aborigines and
many succumbing TO disease. On the
whole, 1t would seem from the reports
OF those who have visited Liberia that
the republic is retrogressive rather
than progressive, and yet the people
have their president. their senate and
house Of representatives, their supreme
court and a system OF finance. Their
country Is one Of the richest In the
world as to its agricultural possiblli.

Il tant republic and incidentally
TO secure justice In the way Of
frontier delimitation is a most interest
lng one In view of the experiment OF
some years ago OF settling American
negroes In a colony by themselves. AS
Is well known, II is no new theory and
OF late has been repeatedly advocated,
especially by some Of the negro leaders,
notably Bishop Turner OF the colored
Methodist church. Some doubts having
been expressed as to the ACCESSIBILITY
OF sending people Of his race to the
country which was once the home OF
their ancestors, he has delivered his
opinion In the following forclble lam
guage: Il am not afraid OF Africa.
From actual observation taken on the
spot, | hold the unchallenged position
that Africa proffers the greatest pos
abilities on earth for the negro TO emil
crate TO II he ever expects to be any
thing this side the judgment. Africa
offers the least obstacles TO settlement
OF any land under the sun, and this is
notably different from the conquest Of
the white man In this country"
This opinion seems to be shared by
the members OF the small group OF Ii
berian statesmen, composed OF the
chief justice the president Of the LII
herian senate and the secretary of
state, recently arrived in London EN-
route to the United states. Two Of the
number were born in the United States,

nowhere else will he find perfect peace
and great prosperity.
They have awaited themselves OF a
call across the ocean for the purpose OF
settling the boundary line between Ii
