INDIAN OCEAN IS UNKNOWN.
suez Canal and Steamers Leave I'm
traversed Wastes In This Sea.

Perchance OF no area Of our great
oceans do we at the present day know
less than Of the Indian ocean within
the tropics, says the Geographical
Journal. Fifty years ago. In the days
before the great China and Indian clip
pers 1t was, save for a small area to
the north of Madagascar, alive with
white wings anxious to take advantage
of every slant of wind or the smallest
current Its minutest characteristics
were then the subject Of anxious study,
whereas now its greater part Is to
most navigators an unknown sea.
With the opening of the Suez canal
there was profound alteration Of
trade, and the most important routes
now start not from Mauritius or the
cape but from the Red sea. Hundreds
of steamers, laughing at winds and
currents, pass annually from Alden to
Bombay and Colombo on the one hand
and to East African ports, Madagascar,
Nauritius and Seychelles on the other.
From Colombo, again, there are regu.
lar lines to Calcutta, Singapore, West
Australia, Mauritius and South Africa.
But except on the lines from the
Red sea to Colombo and from the lat
ter to the far east and to Australia
there is relative absence Of compe-
tition, want Of that necessity for
accurate knowledge of the winds, cur
rents and topography which Is only
called forth by keen desire for saw
Ing time or mileage. The routes
across her surface are also wide apart
and her islands are commerciallNunim
portant. Great areas are seldom or
never crossed by ships; in our six
months cruise on his majesty's ship
Sealark we never saw except in port a
single steamer, and only one solitary
brig, a small trader from Mauritius to
the Chagos.

said last night:
THE substance of my investiga-
ton supported by over 100 affidavits
from the members and non-commis-
stoned officers of the companies and
from the statement Of officers of the
companies amounts to this.
'First--That the citizens did not
want the negro soldiers in Browns
vile, Tex.
"Second--That this feeling became
so intense that on the very night in
question Major Penrose issued an or
der and sent out patrols through the
town that all men should be in by 8
O'Clock whether on pass or not, and
Captain Mackin, officer of the day
reported that all the men were in ex-
cept three, on pass
"Third-That the firing that night
was of mixed arms.
"All the inspectors sent out from
the war department have started out
with the assumption that there was
a conspiracy among the men to- keep
back the truth and shoot up the
town. They have never made any
| investigation into the real facts.
From the investigation there was un-
doubleday conspiracy to make a
case against the soldiers and get
them out of the town. Six sergeants
of long service and in whom the COM
missioned officers have implicit con-
fidence are going to Washington with
me to act as witnesses before Presi-
