TO EXPLORE THE AMAZON.

Much is Justly being made in the
East Of the expedition of the Pennsyl-
vania University to explore the val
ley and sources Of the Amazon river.
But good many, in their enthusiasm
about the expedition, speak Of the
Amazon region as unexplored and un.
known, aud as though this expedition
were going to open up vast continent
heretofore unexplored. to the kuowl-
edge of the world. But the truth is
that there is very little unknown re-
gion ia the valley Of the Amazon. Es-
pecially are its headwaters we'll known
and its tributary river system pretty
thoroughly mapped. Almost from the
first of the discovery Of South Ameri-
ca, there have been expeditions up
the main Amazon and up its various
tributaries all the way to the Andes
mountains. The early Spanish and
Portuguese explorers visited every por-
tion of TINT region, and their journals
and descriptive accounts are accessi-
BILE. The United States has not been
backward, either, in this exploration,
and as early as sixty years ago Lieu
tenant William l.. Herndon Of the u.
S. Navy made thorough exploration
Of the valley of the Amazon, and his
report was handsomely printed by the
Government in 1855. It was a pretty
thorough report. we'll illustrated, and
was put forth in the best style Of the
printer art as IL existed at that time
the illustrations being in colors and
tint, and the text being beautifully
printed.
Since then, and for the last twenty
years especially, prospectors and agents
of rubber companies have overrun the
whole Amazon river region from the
mouth to the sources of all of the trib-
utaries, and ii seems as though the far.
ther they could get away from civil
zation, so as to be interfered with the
least. the better they were suited. The
Putumayo horrors are an instance OF
this delving into the wilds by the rub,
Der companies and getting away from
civilization and restraint. The Putu
mayo region is on one Of the upper
tributaries Of the Amezon, about as fa1
away from the reach Of civilization as
any locality that could be named.
In saying these things we do not in
any way mean to disparage the import
ance of the expedition Of the Pennsyl
vania University. Wherever a wild re-
gion is brought into better touch with
civilization, becomes better known tc
the enterprising and commercial world
the better it is for mankind. There
are practically no hidden parts Of the
world now, and all that explorers car
do is more perfectly to reveal the to-
pography, the resources, the nature and
habits Of the inhabitants, and the nat
ural productions that may be availed
Of in regions only partly known at
present. The valley of the Amazon i:
known rather better than the high re.
gions north of the Himalayas in Asia,
it is an immeasurably richer region
than the Asian country indicated, and
doubtless the Pennsylvania expedition
will be able TO show to the world a re.

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

The chief matter Of business ad-
vancement during the week is the move
to create wholesale and warehouse
district in the western part Of the
city, particulars of which appear else
where. The prime movers in this project
are well-known, responsible and able
business men. and with the cooperation
Of the Wholesale trade, which may be
reckoned upon since much Of that trade
is already concentrated there, the sue
cess Of the effort may be assumed. The
natural place for the wholesale center
of this city is on the west side, for
that is convenient to the railroad de-
pots and offers the readiest and most
economic site for the receipt and ship
ment Of goods. We do not doubt but
that the movement is In accord with
the general business tendencies Of the
city, and therefore, Is timely and we'll
approved.

The uncertain weather OF the week

city to a considerable extent; but
doubtless the ensuing week will make
up for this, with the help of the con-

in all seasonable goods, and the de-

Gotch appeared much stronger than
the Russian and he was the aggressor
throughout the match. Zurich seemed
unable to get good hold on Gotch
