being on Abyssinian ground; so, after
several endeavors to find out more
about his intentions, | left this mild
plotter and conspirator to pursue his
wicked way"
Karl Inger, whether he be, in the
English foreign office phrase, an eH-
Austrian officer, or, in his own phrase,
1.-The successor of the Mahdi," has not
always been an enemy of England.
The truth probably is that he is a
daring adyenturer, whom the prospect
of material fortune attracted to At
RIGA, and who has found, as so many
others have found, that it is much
easier and more profitable to rule in
Africa than to serve in Europe. The
commercial interests which seemed to
absorb the Karl Inger of years ago
have proved to be but the stepping
stone to a career of military glory,

man and Littauer are sturdy men of
congressional calibre.
From New York city what differ
ent story? George Mcclellan is a
worthy son of his famous father, clean
and bright if not particularly force
full. Young Burton Harrison is rep
resentative of culture as we'll as
wealth, and will make good con-
gresham, but it is absurd to pretend
that at IS, without experience, he will
fairly cope with veterans of national
fame and long experience. Besides
these two there is not one first-class
man. Two are sons of rich brewers,
who belong to the familiar class of
good fellows" and free spenders.'
One, Big Tom Sullivan, is far more
unfit for congressional honors than
ever John Morrissey was. Morrissey
was painfully taught b., devoted and
talented wife until, toward the end
of his career, he was by mo means
destitute of knowledge. Sullivan

and the news that he is hand-in-hand
with the Mullah is not astonishing to
those who have followed his move
.ments. Yet to the English it is any
thing but pleasing news, for it proves
that Karl Inger, an educated and able
man, who even last year seemed to
be England's friend, is acting against
that nation in an important sphere
of British interests.
Hardly more than a year ago Karl
Inger was in London, and before me,
as / write, is a letter. written from
the Hotel Cecil in a cultured hand and
signed "Emir Suleyman." In another,
written last year from Lucerne, Karl
1Inger speaks of an interview he was
hooking forward to with Mr.. Rhodes,

s.try and gain as many friends as posi-

.ments we have seen in myers hand
writing reveal an evident anxiety to
avert trouble in Somaliland.

A conundrum propounded by Bishop
Potter was told as follows: "Why is
it that in the many pictures and
statues of angels exhibited the angels
are always depicted either as women
or young men without boards or mus

always affords him keen enjoyment,
is that everybody knows women nat

Ifa1x sends Cruisers

London, Dec. 8.-A special dispatch
from Rome says that two station
cruisers have been ordered to be put
in commission for immediate active
service. These vessels, the dispatch
adds, are thought to be going to
Venezuela. 1t is believed in London
that the report of the preparation of
the Italian cruisers arises from the
fact that Italy has claims against
Venezuela, and that a delegate OF
President Castro was in Rome last
week endeavoring to reach an agree
n1ent with the government in the
matter of these claims.
