TRADED FOR AFRICAN IVORY.

Ending a twelve thousand mile voy-
age which included the navigation OF
many uncharted rivers in Africa,
where ivory valued at $4,000 was re-
ceived in trade from uncivilized tribes
of natives, the Franzteldt, German
freight ship. has just discharged one
OF the most interesting cargoes ever
seen here. Her voyage was one OF
the most unusual of any undertaken
In recent years. The freighter left
here about four months ago. burdened
with cheap callcoes OF faring patterns.
gaudy watches and other jewelry OF
all descriptions, antiquated opera hats,
starched cuffs, toys and other articles
designed to catch the eye OF the sim
pie minded African native. Plug to-
bacco, delicacy among the wild
Africans, was also among the cargo.
These articles were traded for superb
elephants tusks. ostrich plumes, ami
NAL skins and miscellaneous products
OF the African desert and jungle. That
the venture was a paying one was con-
ceded by Captain Courdes and the Of
ficers OF the Franzfeldt, who are anx-
ious to repeat the voyage. Even In
the remotest regions inquiries were
frequently made by the natives for
liquor None was carried for barter
by the Franzfeldt, although other YES
sells which have made similar trading
expeditions have carried liquor ex-
clusively, as 1t has been found to be
the best stock in trade. Three small
boys, picked up at Berebra, and two
Zulus, shipped at Mauritius were ad
ditions to the crew when she arrived
here. They were awe stricken at the
sight of the skyscrapers of Manhattan
and refused to leave the vessel when
other members of the crew offered ia
show them about on shore. The trir
up the bay was a continuous pano
rama of wonders for the natives.

The international & Great Northern
Railroad is again forced into a re-
Ownership. Railroads all over the
country are suffering the same fate,
and we very naturally wonder why?
There is as much traffic, both freight
and passenger, as ever, yet not a road
in the country is making any returns
on the investment. and retrenchment
is the order of the day. Trains are
being annulled. shops closed and men
laid of by the hundred. The Calves
ton News published a statement few
days ago that Of the roads entering
that city. nearly hundred train
crews had been laid of. The same
is true everywhere and thousands OF
men are thrown out OF employment,
as we'll as business seriously handi'
capped. The Eagle believes the cause
of this depression among railroads is
because they are not given a square
deal. The long campaign Of abuse and
adverse legislation is now bearing
fruit.
