In the speculative markets there hus been nioro activity , and except in pork products and coffee , an ad vance. Thcso changes call for more money in the movement of products , and building oporatioas are also unusually ucttvo nt uiany cities.

The sugor market is only nominal , and prices of rellned are not well maintained , but the trust stocks have been inoro firmly supported. Jmiia rubber is stronger at 71 cents for parallnc , and another corner in tin is feared , the price being IM.J6 cents. Coal has been stiffened by cooler weather , but still bells about 40 coats below circular prices. Iron and steel in all forms arc in great do- inaad and firmly held , with a shade of ad- vnuco iu bar iron and nails , but' the feeling is expressed that the ImproVcuiciit has 'been too rapid to be maintained " , ru\id \ some re action is deemed possiblo.

Iron products are flrui. At other uoints trade is full and active for the season , with scarcely an exception , but Milwaukee notes unfavorable weather and caution in credits , and Clevolar.a some strin gency in money , though collections are good. At Detroit the ship yards have good con tracts and manufacturing works uro fully employed.

I joined the Kinin Pasha oxpcdillor under Mr. Stanley in March , 1887 , ant was biio of the five olllcors In charge o the ill-fated ciiiup on the Aruwliiml where Stanley's roar guard was located writes Herbert Ward , ( who recently vo turned from Africa ) , In the Now Yorl < Morning Journal * 1 nm at this motnon' ' the last man who lifts returned to r civilized country from nssoolutlon with Mr. Stanley's latest explorations ir Africa. The llrst year and n half I spent in traveling- among the tribes of the Loivoi Congo. I applied myself to Icurnini their language and to obtaining as mucl information as possible auout their cud' ' toins and superstitions- . They proved to bo the most ignorant and most super stitious. They lived in small villages 'scattered ' about the country , and in nc single instance was a ruler to bo found with inoro than a few hundred subjects The greatest obstacle to progress and enlightenment in this portion of Africn was a functionary known to the natives as the "Nganga Nkissi , " or charm doc tor. Indeed , some of their beliefs wore past comprehension. For instance they carved iimigos which they con- sidorcd to bo endowed with a super natural power. In times of drought they talked to these images and suppli cated them to influence the elements that rains might como. People- whom they suspected of being in league with the un propitious elements they caught and kept bound as prisoners until the rain arrived ; then they sot them free. In the event of the man's death a largo meeting was hold , and the services ol the "Ngungu Nkissi" wore called in. The doctor appeared , nttircd in a feather head-dross , with eyelids painted white and blood-smonrod. Around his waist hung a number of wildcat skins , while over his loft shoulder hung bunches of leopards' claws and snakes' ' heads. The charm doctor wont through a series of antics , and eventually picked upon some unfortunate wretch , whom lie accused of having "eaten the spirit of the deceased. " Then followed the cruel ordeal by poison. In tno ov nt of the miserable scapegoat succumbing to the oirects of the highly poisonous decoction administered to him , his neighbors rejoiced in what they con sidered the eminent justice of the pun ishment. I might relate , if I had space , some unique stories characteristic of the people - plo of this district and their curious su'porstitions. Soon I was put in command of a sta tion at Dangala. It should bo remem bered that it was at Bangnla that Stnn- 'oyhad ' _ his most serious Ijght witn the natives in the course of his memorable journey through the Dark continent. The ijangiilus are a largo and pow erful tribe , and in addition to being highly savage and ferocious they are cEinnibals. They do not , however , cat people of their own tribes. It is only the miserable captives and purchased slaves that they devour. This import ant tribe was nt that tirao governed by a magnificent specimen of the African savage , Nata Bwiki by name. Ho was an old man over six foot high. At the commencement of my com mand at this station I was forced to un dergo the "Blood Brotherhood coro- mony" in conjunction with this remark able potentate. This ceremony , which I may bricily describe , is practiced through all bavago Africa. An inci sion I'M made in the arm of each of the participants in it. When the blood Hews the wounds are sprinkled with potash , salt and powder made from a species of bean. Then the two incised arms are rubbed together , so that the flowing blood may intermingle. This donetho two men become 'blood broth ers" and both swear that in times of need they will assist each other. After two years of adventure , some of them thrilling in their nature , I met Stanley when I was on my way down country to the coast to ombarlc for Eu rope , having fullllled my term of service. I happened to bo able to rend or Stan ley a most timely service by engaging and taking down the country with mo some hundrodsof natives for the manual transport of the loads of merchandise ) and ammunition which Stanley was taking into Central Africa. My actual meeting with Stanley was picturesque. Stanley snlutcd mo very cordially , and as succinctly as possible I related to linn my adventures , and told him how anxious I was to nceom- pany the Kmin Pashaltcliof expedition. In the and Stanley accepted my sorv- ces as a volunteer ofllcur , and instructed mo to hurry down to obtain tno mer chandise and ammunition which had boon left at the point of demarcation , Matavi. 1 was urged to hasten back to overtake Stanley at Stanley Pool , whence the expedition was to embark on the long river journey up the Upper Congo. I was left in command of the first cainpof the expedition atUolovo. Stan ley in the meanwhile- proceeded on to tno Aruwhimi , where ho had made an intrenched camp , which ho left in com mand of Major Harttolot and Mr. .Tamo- eon. Stanley left that camp on the 10th of Juno , 1887. and , according to his plans , ho expected ho would return again after having visited Etnin Pasha about November. In duo courtio I arrived at the Aru whimi. camp with my men. In March. 1888 , no news having been received of Stanley , the situation was considered critical , and it was decided that ono of my party should proceed to the coabt by forcing a way through the Upper Congo by canoe , with the object of communicating by wiblo with the com mittee of the expedition in London. I was selected for this arduojis task , which I successfully performed , accom panied by thlrty-llvo Zunr.ilmris and Soulancbo soldiers. In reply to my message the committee directed mo to return , On my way back news reached mo of the assassination of Major Barttolot , at Donulyn. Further ill-fortunu was in store , for information soon arrived that Mr. Jameson was ill at Stunloy Falls. I hurried to the river side and found my friend lying in a canoe in a dying state. On the following evening the unfortu nate young traveler died. Nothing ro- maitiod for mo but to proceed again to the const and communicate this bad news to the committee in London. The journey down the Congo at Stan ley Pool occupied about a month. In reply to my cable , a message came in structing mo to return to the Aruwhimi camp and to take command thoro. On reuchingStanlcy Pool I heard of Stan ley's return to Uonalya ; the scene of Mnjor Hnrltolot'a murder , and that h had taken with Win nil the men am loads that wore atthattlmo at Bonalyn I continued my journey , however , ii order to collect togetht-r the sick win had boon loft on account of their ina blllly to walk when Major Uarttolo struck camp on the Armvhlmi. I ronunni'd at Slanlov Mills as tin guest of TIppoo Tib for a month. Tin pee Tib was n nicunnmo. This well known personage actually called him self Hamad Bin Mohammed. After calculating how few of tin men of the expedition wore loft nllvo , lashed two canoes together and descended scondod the Congo. The juurnov o over ono thousand miles took twenty olght days' and nights. Of this dislanci ono-thlrd was through hostile territory whoie Inhabitants arc cannibals. Act ing then on my instructions , ! ombnrkoi for Kuropo , and nrrlvod In London 01 1st of .Inly List with a few Xnnzihnr. . who had manngod to survive the hard ships of a long journey. Several paragraphs and statement hayo lately traveled the round of tin papers purporting to toll of Stanley am the development of affairs In Afrlcabu the only thing noteworthy about than is the want of accuracy and their deplorable plorablo limit of local knowledge. Slnci Stnnley left Bonalya , at the identlca time of poor Jameson's death at Bun gala , no really authentic news has conn homo. The mention of Stanley belli j on the Victoria Nyair/.n late last I'obru nry was unfounded , bocnuso the lottoi on which it was supposed to bo basei never turned up. 1 am really not am- prised at the non-recoipt-of news , for ] know what life in Central Africa Is am the dllllcultips ol the position in whlcli Mr. Stnnley is now placed. No provioni experience of Stanley's at all cquali what ho is now going through In poln of difficulty and adventure , His suitor- - ings since ho commenced his last journey noy through Central Africa have beer almost beyond the endurance of man , I cannot tjll you what Mr. Stanley's plans wore , and where ho Is llkclj tob < now. That is a peculiarity of thorium lion. His olllcors are just as ignorant as the people at homo regarding Stan ley's plnns. Nobody knows what he moans to do butStanley himself. This is , perhaps , his strongest character istic. Ho does his work llrst , commun icating hts Ideas to no man , and talks about itaftorward. However , I should rather incline U the idea that Stanley and Emin Pashu are now at UlTanga. Thov are proba bly stopping there and taking advant age of the unsettled state of the coun try brought about , by the dethronement by the Arabs of Mwamga , the son of the renowned Mtosa , the great Sultan o Ugangato initiate some systematic gov eminent which would permit a oaravai route being organized between the Emin Pasha country and the Albert NyangaLako and Momlmssa , ttio sea port of the Imperial East African com pany. On his return I should think Mr , Stanley would choose the central route , through the territory lately acquired by the Royal Charter Ea'st African company. This would lead him to Momnasba , their seaport , of whiuh I have just written. This route would be breaking new ground , and would open up to the East African company their territory. 1 know Tippoo Tib well. Ho is not quite so blade as ho is painted. Before Stanley took him with him on his first African expedition Tippoo Tib was quite an unimportant pommage. Now ho is quite a significant factor i n Afri can affairs and bo is qmio a personn grata at the sultan's court in Zanzibar , , by reason of his connection with Stan ley ; in fact , ho carries a sword of olHco from the sultan , which gives him a i > ort of maeostorial ollico in the interior. Tipnoo Tib is a famous bandit chief , and Jib is undoubtedly responsible for the shedding of more blood in Africa than any other man. Ho is at the present moment in rather an awkward position. Personally ho is anxious to quit Central Africa , and to hcttla down either at Xair/.ibar or Muscat , for ho is getting old iu yoaivs and has accumu lated considerable wealth. His wealth , however , unfortunately for him , con sists chiolly in slaves ami gunson which ho would have considerable dilllculty in realizing in any short space of time. Part of his system is to advance K ) inituy "slaves and guns to enterprising Arabs who go on marauding expedi tions , at the conclusion of which Tip- puo Tib receives a curtain stipulated portion of the ivory proceeds. Much of this ivory is sold in the markets of Kas- SOIIL'O , Uggi and Tabora to middlemen Arabs , who exchange guns for it , they in turn selling it again to other Arab dealers , who convoy it to Zanzibar , where it is disposed of to Europeans at elaborate prices. The larger portion of the ivory , however , is ficnt by ' .rip- pee Tib direct to Znnxibar , whore nego tiations are chiclly conducted by the famous Indian banker , TaryaTofan.
