Founder of German East Africa.

At an international geographical
congress meeting DR.. Joachim Graf
Won Pfeil un Klein Ellguth, q noted
German explorer, stated that he and
two companions, while travelling in
East Africa in 1884, seized all that
territory in the name Of Germany.
They had borrowed $4,000 to finance
the enterprise, struck across Zanzi-
bar to the African coast, signing
treaties of cession with the native
chiefs as they went along, and when
they reached the coast the doctors
companions went to Germany to ne
gotiate, leaving him alone. the only
white man within 1000 miles, to
await their return. The proposition
submitted by his companions was
eagerly accepted by the German gov
eminent, warships were sent to the
scene, the region, equal to Germany
in area, was seized, and thus, accord
ing to the story, German East Africa
came into being.

was torpid, and often had to be carried

1.-THE worst was the pain which seemed
as if my thigh were being pushed out OF
my body. The best doctors could do was
to 'natlcn it by narcotics. Once they
thought could not live for moro than

a friend said: Why don't you try DR..

I gave one box of DR.. Williams Pink

ent office in connection with the grant
of letters patent for an electrical in
vention by Ernest w. Jungner, the
secretary of the interior has approved
an opinion rendered by Assistant At
torney General Campbell. The opin-
ion holds that nothing is shown in Mr..
Edison's petition that involves any
cause for the exercise of supervisory
authority at the hands of the secre-
tary, and for that reason the secretary
is advised that the commissioner OF
patents should be left to his own dis
cretion In dealing with this matter.

A SWARM OF IMMIGRANTS.
They are Coming to New York at the
Rate Of 5000 Day-Many Will be
Deported.

Rate Of 5000 Day-Many Will be
Deported.
New York, June 15.-According to
the officials at Ellis Island, the pres
ent influx of immigrants includes an
unusually large proportion of unde-
sirables. a total of 243 out of 1885
having been already ordered deported,
while ESQ were held in the detention
pen yesterday, awaiting final decision
on their cases, and 6,647 have been
detained for various reasons, but may
be landed later. This condition is
believed to have been brought about
partly by the recent cuts in steamship
rates and third class passengers on
every incoming vessel are being
watched with the greatest care.
Last June one out of every ia i'm
migrants was turned back. while for
the first IL days of this month one
out OF every so has been deported as
unfit to enter the United States. Many
of those now arriving, however, had
bought their tickets long before the
present, low rates were in force and it
is thought that those yet to come will
be of a still worse class.
Nearly 5000 immigrants arrived on
three steamships yesterday and the
facilities at Ellis Island are being SO
severely taxed that the use of tents
to care for those who are being de-
tanned has been suggested.

He Ruled the Illinois Demo-
cratic Convention.
DEFEAT FOR HARRISON.
The Mayor of Chicago was I'm.
seated as a Delegate.
INSTRUCTED FOR HEARST.
The Convention was TurbuIent-Law-
renee 3. Stringer, Of Lincoln, was
Nominated for Governor--The Other
Candidates Withdrew.

Springfield, H., June 15.-The DEM
ocratic state convention yesterday
nominated Lawrence b. Stringer, of
Lincoln, for governor, and instructed
the delegates to the st. Louis conven-
ton to vote as a unit for William r.
Hearst for the presidential nomina-
ton. The convention was controlled
by John p. Hopkins, former mayor of
Chicago and now chairman of the
state central committee.
Mr.. Hearst's campaign managers
who attempted to ride into power by
the aid of his name, received no con-
sideration whatever from the conven-
tion. The Harrison party, which came
solely from Chicago and was pledged
to the support of Congressman James
r. Williams, was routed completely.
Mayor Carter H. Harrison was unseat-
ed as delegate and took a train for
home without going near the conven-
ton. Both his faction and the Hearst
party were as nothing compared to
the strength and skillful management
of the convention exhibited by Hop
kins.
The report of the committee on
credentials, endorsing Mr.. Hopkins
action and seating his delegates, was
put through in spite of the vigorous
protests from the adherents of Hearst
and Harrison.
Following this Judge William Prem
tiss, of Chicago. a supporter of Hearst,
withdrew as a candidate for governor.
He declared that the convention did
not represent the democracy of ILL.,
