Koiuh African exploration.
Mr. Chanter Is not .more than 33 now ; at
22. a year after graduating from Harvard ,
he cnnrolviil the notion of adding his name
to thp list of travelers In the Hark Continent.

In ihe vicinity of Klllma NJnro , however ,
In. noon afterward organized an expedition
inKKtlon with Lieutenant von Hohnel
. .f i Austrian army ( an experienced Af-
il un traveler ) and this party plunged boldly
into the African wilderness with the pur-
PIMI ; of exploring the river N'lnnnn , which
flows Into hike Victoria Nyanzn , nnd of
tolvlng the problems presented by Lake
Slcphanlo and the Juba river.
The party Htarte < l out late In 1892 : for
months nothing watt heard from It , and It
was feared that misfortune had overtaken
ltn members. Sometime in the following
jeiir , however , word was received that whllo
many of Its native members and n large
portion of Its pack nnlnmli ! had died , the
white members were1 alive not far from Ml.
Zonln , a few miles north of the equator.
Mr. C'hanler was In good health , the ad-
vlCR ran. but Lieutenant von Hohnel WUB
suffering from hurts Inllictcd by a charging
ihlnoccros. The lieutenant soon afterward
returned to civilization , but Mr. Chanter
remained until late In 1SM ! or ISfl. ) . visiting
Capetown and other parts of South Africa
before salting for home. He Is therefore
abundantly qualified to wrtto about Iho
blacks of the Transvaal and the British
South African colonies.
In order to thoroughly bring before the
mind of the American the nature of the
blacks Inhabiting South Africa it should be
Htated that they are utterly different from
the negroes In this country. These come
from West Africa , where life Is made easy by
nature and where In consequence the In-
hnbltantB are less prone to effort and ICES
accustomed to cither mental or physical
exertion. The native of East Africa , from
Kgypt to the Cape , living under conditions
which produce In him those qualities of ac
tivity and mental stamina which arc sup
posed to characterize the northern races of
Europe , might well be styled the Anglo-
Saxon of Africa.
Klrst , on account of Its nearness to Asia ,
and , secondly , on account of Its mineral
wealth , exploited from the time of Solomon ,
East Africa has been the prey of those
powerful and warlike nations Inhabiting
Arabia , Asia Minor and India. From con
tact with tbeso peoples and from constant
struggles with them the warlike disposition
of the Eiist African has been developed to a
formidable degree. Also undoubtedly those
forma of tribal government which exist nave
become moulded to a great extent by the
samu Influence.
Down to almost the Immediate present
there has been a constant movement of the
Nilotic tribes southward. The Hulus undoubt
edly came from somewhere near the head
waters of the Nile. The Matabclcs followed
them and the Mahals , who afterward fol
lowed them , all came from the same source.
The characteristics of these tribes are
somewhat similar to what those of the Huns ,
Visigoths nnd Vandals must have been viz. :
eager to Join In war , 'organized to nn extent
which Is surprising and capable at the bid
ding of some leader of breaking up their
local ties nnd moving In one mass in some
| i , given direction. The only limit to their
movement has been the southern limit of tha
African continent. Having wandered as far
south as they could go they were forced to
settle , losing their nomadic Instinct , hut de
veloping their love of home and retaining to
reinforce this new factor their warlike na
ture.
Tliron Koriultlnhlc TrllH-x.
The thrco moat formidable tribes In South
Africa today are the Ilasutos , the Swazls and
the Matabeles. Of these the Ilasutos arc un
doubtedly the most powerful , possessing , as
they do , an orgnnl/.atlon of sufllclent strength
to enable them to resist advances under
taken both by the British and the Duttji.
They inhabit ; i mountainous region almost
Inacccsalbla to a modern army. They are
Fa Id to lo capable of placing In the field 10-
000 mounted warriors. To do this they
rrtifl have at least 60,000 or 70,000 horses.
They are armed principally with spears ,
but a largo number huvo rllles. The head
chief , of the trlbo Is named Letheroda.
There are several other chiefs , but his power
Is practically primal. Although supposed to
be a pnrt. of the Hrltlsh , these people are
practically Independent.
1 mentioned n llttlo whllo back that the
Di.sutos . possessed n largo number of horses.
Horseflesh IB ul thn present moment , per
haps , tbo most valuable , property In South
Africa , for It Is them that the rinderpest and
the tsrlso fly destroy equine life. The horsi-s
born and bred ihere are altogether Irss
likely to bo bothered by the rinderpest or
the fly than those which have been Imported
from n different t'llmato nnil have been ac-
cufltomed to living under entirely different
rondltlonti. The Dutch have , so far as wo
ran see , plenty of horses. The English show
a startling lack of thorn. Wo read the other
day In the papers that of ( ho thousands of
tnulrs sent to South Africa from this country
400 were destroyed on account of that ter
rible disease , glanders.
It scemp , therefore , that the Bo/uitos , or at
least their horsed , will play a very large part
In the present struggle. They will , sell them ,
It they care to. where they can get the best
market. An the Hrltlsh need them more. It
Is to bo supposed they will pay higher prices
for them. Hut if the Basntos do not care to
sell It Is very probable that the Hrltlsh may
determine to transact a little forcible bus
iness nnd tnkp them. Then the trouble will
begin. I believe that both the Hrltlsh and
Dutch recognize the necwslty of preventing
a negro uprising , and will do all they ran to
forward that end ; but If one begins to cm-
ploy the natives the other will , and then ,
with the millions In South Africa turned
lotsc , civilization will have taken a back
ward step instead of n forward one as a
result of this war.
A Hc-i'iilillc I'rnllotrd.
Whether the Hrltlsh win this war or not.
In from ten to twenty-five years there Is
going to bo a republic In South Africa a
icpubllc containing probably half n million
whites and from three to four million
Hacks. Its government , owing to the na
ture of the negroes , will bo forced to give
them some- voice In the management of af
fairs. I should not bo surprised If In the
Capo Parliament , sitting side by side with
the descendant of n Hrltlsh nobleman and
n descendant of the Hollanders , will be
found the offspring of some now partially
despised nnd hardly clothed African chief
tain. It may be then that In South Africa ,
under the protecting wings of the repub
lican form of government , the question of
negio suffrage will receive a really serious
trial , and , If successful , It cannot fall to
hnvo Its effect on the alms ami aspirations
of the colored races , whether black or
brown.
The Swazl are n much smaller nnd weaker
race , have no horses and Inhabit a very
different typo of country. They have lost
many of their people in the last thirty
years from the attacks of the Irresistible
Matabclcs , but they still have n sufficient
number of people and enough organization
to bo formidable should their temper bt-
ccimc aroused.
Of the Mutabele little need bo said. Some
of the greatest hand to hand conflicts have
occurred between them and the English ,
who have seen their country and attempted
to gain a foothold there. Their organiza
tion must be greatly broken up , but their
warlike Instinct , although It has undoubt
edly received n severe shock from their re
verses , cannot yet be dead.
The Haeutos , lying , as they do , between
the Orange Kroe State and Natal , If aroused
will bo a menace to both the Dutch and the
British. The Swnzls hardly touch British
territory. Their land lies almost entirely
between the Portuguese territory nnd the
Transvaal. The Matabeles , Inhabiting what
Is now called Rhodesia , could disturb the
British moving there , and , crossing the
Limpopo river to the south , would be more
than a menace to the Invading army.
The characteristics of all these tribes are
very similar. The little differences which
do occur arc caused particularly by local
conditions.
Much has been said lately of the cruelty
with which the Dutch have always treated
their negro slaves. I doubt very much
whether they have been more cruel than the
British. Both people have done what they
could to subdue them , and have then cn-
dcuvored to make whatever use of them as
servants that they were able to.
llrltlNh Sliivc Trail- .
One of the reasons given for this war now
being carried on by the British against ths
Dutch Is the suppression of the so-called
slave trade existing in the Dutch republics.
Perhaps few people know that the British
today in certain portions of their empire
actually countenance the slave trade. I am
speaking of the Islands of Zanzibar and
Pciiiba , whose population Is being constantly
Increased hy the forcible Importation of na
tives from the mainland. This Is done
purely In the interest of the clove planters ,
for It is from those islands that the best
quality of clove come. No freed man cares
to undertake the work on the clove planta
tions , consequently the slave trade has not
been suppressed by the British , but is made
use of for the purpose of increasing their
revenues by growing cloves. These slaves
In Zanzibar and I'cmba do not come from the
east coast of Africa. They are brought from
the far Interior , and are principally Inhab
itants of the Congo region.
To return to South Africa. From constant
contact with the while man the natives have
acquired a very distinct knowledge of what
they want , and thev will bo actuated by
much the same purpose an their white
neighbors would. If they are aroused they
wllj act as their best Interests seem to
dictate. Wo have heard lately of many
British reverses and of a scries of Boer
victories. The black man , like moat people ,
loves the winner. If the natives In South
Africa rise at all , which I do not think Is
altogether Improbable , unless Great Britain
wins a fnw striking victories , they will rise
on tuo sldo of the Dutch.

IN THE WHEELING WORLD. 1
1T
Makers and dealers In bicycles derive much
chcr and ratlsfactlon from the crowds that
visited the recent annual wheel show In Now
York. The attendance was surprisingly
large , particularly on thn last day , when
the lingo building wag jammed with visitors.
Devotees of the wheel Interpreted the Inter
est manifested ns an augury of a prosperous
year and greater activity than In ISOii. Hut
the Interest was not confined to bicycles.
The exhibit of nutomobllr-s drew a goodly
share of the crowds and more orders are
said to have been booked for the latter than
for the former.
The cheerfulness of dealers In Now York
IK supplemented with the announcement that
makers of rubber tires under the Tllllnghast
patents have combined for the usual trust
purpose of economizing. Two Independent
makers of tires nt Akron , O. , have been gath
ered Into the combine , so that competition
will bo eliminated and prices boosted to a
high notch. The trust feature of the deal
Is that the license- the companies take out
binds them to maintain n fixed scale of
prices. The two Akron concerns have been
the only ones fighting the Tllllnghast clntf.iis.
and since they have been won over nil others
have gotten Into line and are bound by the
same contract.
The effect of the agreement will be nn ad
vance of the price of tires of all gradoi. M-
though retailers may llx their own prices , all
must pay the same for their goods , and the
general result will be , It Is said , that blcyclo
tires will cost the consumer about KO per cent ,
more this year than last. By the new ar
rangement blcyclo dealers will bo largely
prevented from making a profit on tires In
addition to that they make on the bicycles
without the tires.
Racing politics arc- very lively and nil i
sorts of deals nnd combinations arc being |
made or talked about In League of Ameri
can Wheelmen circles , sayo the New York
Mcrnlng Telegraph. An amusing feature of
the agitation to drop racing from the league1
Is the attack made by (5eorgc L. McCarthy
In a current cycling publication upon Chair I
man A. CJ. Batcheldcr of the National
Cycling association board of control. Mc
Carthy Is the League of American Wheel
men handlcapper In this district , and after
declaring that Batcheldcr is the whole thing
in the National Cycling osooclatlon. advices
the league to hang on to amateur racing , us
the National Cycling association is actuated
by purely selfish motives. In other words ,
whllo it Is selfish for the National Cycling
association to control the amateurs , ll Is
unselfish for Handlcapper McCarthy to want
the riders who pay him fees kept under
the control of the league. While the league
will have no good amateur If It hangs on
to racing. It will still get enough dubo who
fancy riding free from fast competition to
make handicapping profitable. McCarthy Is
also chairman of the League of American
Wheelmen press committee , nnd Is reputed
to be anxious to get a certain cycle paper
and himself Installed In the place now held
by the League of American Wheelmen Bul
letin and Sterling Elliott of Bsstou , Its
editor. Elliott will make a proposition for
the continuance of his work at the national
assembly , which may meet with oppcsltion ,
as It asks for considerably more than the
Bulletin Is now getting.
It has been claimed that the average
rider adds considerable to his labor by un
consciously back-pedaling. T.he rider , in
stead of getting the full benefit of his stroke
by continuing the downward push on the
pedal to the furthest possible point. In
variably stops the pressure and compels the
up-coming crank to carry part of the
weight of his foot. If ankle motion is dili
gently practiced It will do much to correct
this fault. Indeed , ankle motion Is recom
mended by veteran riders to those who
have a tendency toward careless pedaling.
The coaster-brako device brought to notice
this fault of careless pedaling. At first un-
ccntclously , and afterward from force of
habit , the coaster-brake would be thrown
Into operation as a result of not continuing
the downward push of the pedal. This
beck pedaling Is probably done when It is
tleelrexl to slacken speed momentarily or
when striking an obstruction , and the tell
tale coaster will record the fault plainly.
With the coaster arrangement , however ,
this back-pedaling habit does not. have any
undralrablo results. Instead of checking
the prosresR of the machine , as would be
the case with a fixed gear , it permit * the
machine to iun forward under Us own Im
petus.
So many of the stars of the cycle tr ck are
entering the motor field that motor cycle
races are likely to leap Into the foreground
In the spring , whllo a now crop of fast m n
to seek for championship honors by unaided
pedaling will bo needed. Frank Waller , the
veteran six-day rider. Is having an Amer
ican machine built with a carbureter of
French make. Joe Judge. Is having one madi >
that ho says will negotiate a milein fifty
seconds. McEachren , the Canadian crack ,
who Is now a resident of Newark , Is having
a three-horso power tandem constructed that
will have more overhang than any other ever
put on. Tom Cooper and Floyd McFarland
also are going to turn into motor riders , anil
others that have ordered machines made arc
the Hunter brothers of Newark and HIP
Lawson brothers of Chicago. Besides these
named the experts who were In the field last
year and Intend to remain in It are : Charles
Miller , Henri Fournler , C. S. Hennhuw nnd
Austin Crooks. In the light of these things
there Is llttlo to fear but what there will
bo plenty of good material to meet Janott ,
the Englishman who has challenged the
whole country , or any other foreign expert.
The Transvaal correspondent of the Bi
cycling News of London sends to his paper
Interesting details concerning the use of
bicycles now In progress. Among other
ttlnps. lie says :
"In both the enemy's and our forces many
prominent atuletes and cyclists may bo
found whose distinction will bo remembered
b > all followers of sport. J. M. Orlobo-
now , for Instance , who visited England
last year to represent South Africa In the
world's and National Cyclists' union cham
pionships , was commandeered long
before the declaration of war to
servo as a dispatch rider In com
pany with less renowned cyclists. C. Kru-
ger. the holder of the South African mile
and flve-mllo championships , run at Durban
last year , and the 'Llttlo Michael' of that
country , was similarly placed , but I bellcvo
he managed to evade the arms of the Transvaal -
vaal law by escaping to Cape Colony. I
have been among our troops In Natal re
cently and was surprised to find so large a
number of men of racing fame In the cycling
contingents of some of the volunteer forces.
The roads In Natal permit of this useful
company In a corps , but they are very heavy
after the rain , which falls In Africa like
a small waterspout. "
