Discoveries in the Sahara,

Edward Dodson, British explorer, has
successfully crossed the Hinterland Of
Tripoli, part of the Sahara Desert, for
years considered forbidden territory. He
found, among other interesting relics Of
the Romans, a wonderful reservoir which
still holds water, although, it has stood
without repair for centuries. Imagine
what feelings would have come to this
explorer If he had found a case of golden
grain belt beer in the center of this
desert. The nearest approach to this Joy
will be found on any hot day If you have

the Confederate reunion was held here
in 1900 great bodies of marching men
filled the streets of this ancient city, and
its sidewalks and doors and windows
were filled with enthusiastic thousands,

To Hurry the Powers 0u..

1t is learned that the Russian govern
ment has not asked the assent of the
United States Government to the CON
vention it has just concluded with China
regarding Manchuria.
But the United States Government al
ready has expressed its objections to
certain features of the original conven-
ton, and as these do not appear in the
published outline of the treaty provis-
ions, it can be stated that this Govern
ment would not interpose any objection
to the ratification of the existing docu-
ment, even if its assent were necessary.
The provision pledging Russia to
evacuate Niuchwang Immediately the
powers evacuate Tientsin is regarded as
the test piece of the agreement and as
calculated to hasten the powers in their
withdrawal
