crnltiK their assignments. If any of them
are dissatisfied they have not made It
known.
Some of the members of the fire depart
ment are Inclined to believe that "old Pat , '
the veteran flre horee found dead In Kid

to die a natural death , but believe that ho
was poisoned. Considerable feeling has been
created among the members of the depart ;
incut , who feel that the old horco should
have been turned over to them for core
after ho was superannuated. A shed stable
was fixed up for him lu the rear of the city
buildings , and the members of the depart
ment oay hlij wants were not always looked
otter a carefully OH they might have been.
It Is probable , however , that the rumor
that he was poisoned will receive au olllclal
investigation. Ho had outlived hU useful

Vine IIHtiK Shipped . \ \ vnjDully. .
The grape shipping season fairly opened
yesterday , and the headquarters of the local
shipping association was a busy place all
day and until lute last night. During the
day grapegrowero around the Immediate vi
cinity of Council Bluffs hauled and deliv
ered at the headquarters 12,000 eight-pound
bcakets. All of this fruit was gathered dur
ing the day. The entire product of the
day's pick was packed Into four earn and
chipped wratv/ard. H required 3,000 bankctb
to fill each of the cars. The growers con
tinued to haul In thcjlr loads until late last
night , and when the tired workmen got
ready to close the doom of the receiving
warehouse there were piled up nearly 3,000
morebackets ,
The rsults of the shipments last season and
the prospects this year have greatly strength
ened the determination of the growers to ro-
maln In the association and lot no middlemen
bandlo the products of their vineyards. The
local uurket , upon which they have depended
in the past , has already gone to pieces.
fTho fruit Is retailing by the banket
at lower prices than , wore received In car-
'ilots for the four cars that were sent out
yesterday. The shipments yesterday were
ito customers In the northwest , principally
'In Minneapolis and St. Paul. The shippers
bold contracts In the same locality that
require many carloads to fill.

I'priielrnlnr of tlif Crime
of I.iiHt Uutnlier.
The detective oUlccrs of the Council Bluffs
police force have never abandoned hope that
they would bo able to bring to Justice the
murderers , or murderer , of Mrs. Axe , and
within the last few days they have given out
a little Information concerning clews upon
which they arc still working. One clew that
they hive been following very closely for
several days promises to be productive of
results , and may lead to the weaving of
strong circumstantial evidence around at
least one man.
The body of Mrs. Axe was found lying In
the weeds by the side of an unused road
ono morning last October. The woman was
dressed In her best clothing , and had evi
dently been making a call somewhere when
she was murdered. The wounds about her
head showed that she had been beaten to
death by blows from a bludgeon or hammer , '
and the surroundings Indicated that the
murder had not been committed where the
body was found. The woman's son was
Hcrlously suspected of the crime and was
hold here for sonio time by the officers. The ,
evidence against him was not strong and he
was discharged. Later the grand Jury took
the matter up and thoroughly examined It ,
but not enough evidence was found to Justify
an Indictment. The clew on which the
olllcers are working now points In an en
tirely different direction aud confirms all of
the theories entertained by the Omaha police
that the woman was killed In Omaha
and her body brought across the river and
thrown Into the grass , and that her mur
derer was a man whom she was attempting
to blackmail ,
The thread which the Council Bluffs om-
cerfl are now following was put Into their
possession not long ago , and led them to the
homo of a woman In the north part of Omaha.
It was not without difficulty that this woman
was Induced to talk , and a number of visits
were made to her before she gave any In
formation that was of any value. She was
acquainted with Wrs. Axe and her affairs ,
and know the faccrj and names of many of
her vleltoT'S. At oneof the detective's visits
she mentioned the name of a former Council
Bluffs man. This m.in filled the description
of another man who was under suspicion for
some time. The Omaha woman told the
police that this man had promised to visit
MB. : Axe at her homo on the night of the
murder , and It Is known that a man an
swering his description did vlilt her. With
this clew the local police set about finding
the ny-.n and succeeded in locating him.
When questioned about where he was on
that evening and If he had an appointment
with Mrs. Axe he admitted that he agreed
to see her , but dcciarcd he did not for the
reason that he had business In another part
of Omaha. He was pressed to give the lo
cality where his buslnctM called him and
finally named a place In North Omaha. The
olllccrw went to tub place , and we'o able to
prove conclusively that the man had lied.
The acquaintance of the Bluffs ivjllce with
the North Omaha woman led to their Intro
duction to another , who was also Intimately
acquainted with Mrs. Axe and who frequently
visited her at her home. She told the officers ;
that she had frequently Been this man at
the house , and that he was evidently strug-
Eling to get out of the woman's power. In
this connection the officers place a great deal
of Importance upon a remark made by Mrs.
Axe shortly before she left her home the
night she was killed , when she announced
her determination of getting money , "If not
In one way , then In another. " The theory
Is that this man failed to keep his appoint
ment or at least his agreement with MIT.
Axe. and the woman went to hla home , cr
found him somewhere else , and threatened
htm with denunciation unless ho complied
with her demands for money , and that the
man , driven to desperation by repeated de
mands of the same character , murdered her
and brought her body to this city In a buggy
or else induced her to get Into his buggy and
was murdered In some lonely place on the
river bottoms The night of the murder was
chilly , cloudy and very dark. The weste'n
oart of the city would under such clrcum-
stancea be deserted. There would be no
people driving or walking , and the few who
live In the widely separated houses would
bo Inside. On that night between 9 and 10
o'clock a man living In the vicinity of
Twenty-fourth street eald he saw a buggy
containing-a man and a woman going west
ward. They were quarreling violently , and
the man was threatening her. The general
description ho gave of them fitted Mrs. Axe
fairly well and the man who Is now under
strong suspicion.
The detectives assert that they have some
proof tbat this man was seen on this side
of the river that evening and at the very
hour ho claimed to be transacting Important
business In North Omaha. Putting all of
these circumstances together the officers be-
llovo they arc on a warm clew , and will
soon develop enough to Justify the arrest of
the man.

Wyman purchased the sulky of the manu

attached freight charges to the amount of
about $1C , which Wyman refused to

Hut nppinrnnces arc sometimes deceptive ,
says the Chicago Times-Herald , nnd Smith
makes out a. strong cape against himself In n
story which he occnslonnliy te'ls when ho

"In the early part of the war , " raid Smith ,
"Iwas a private soldier under Stonewall
Jackson In Virginia. At that time I was a

two days l.vlttjout any food. A driving rain

"Finally Me asked me If I i.vould have a
drink of water .and handed mo a courd

I took a big drink and cot ready to depart.
" 'You have been very kind to me.1 I said
to my new friend , 'and I would like to know

" 'That's my name , ' was the quiet re

"Well , I was taken aback , of course , but
I was young nnd cheeky and I miulr > the

and BO I wiped my band on my breroehea
and gave the general's p.iw n cordial shako.
"He nsked my namp and told tno to take

"A few days later my command was on
the march , nnd had Just rearhed a bridge
when It was ordered to open ranks to let
General I-.ee pass.
"I was standing nt the head of the line ,
and when the peneral dashed up , followed
by a negro servant riding on another horse ,

" 'Howdy , General ! ' I shouted.
" 'Why , Smith , my boy , ' he replied as ho
pulled up hls liorso. 'Here , Smith , got on

There will be a novel department In the
new congressloual library at Washington
when It Is entirely completed and ready for
business. This will be a section solely for
the blind and wll ! have not'ilng In It but
books with raised letters , so that they can
Indulge their Intellectual tasteo Just as well
as those readers who have two good orbs
and have never known what It Is to be de
prived of the beauties of nature and much
that makes life worth living. The sightless
hereafter -will rise up anil ca'.l tbe librarlin
blessed , tor he will provide every available
means for their comfort and convenience
whllo patronizing the library of congress.
An attendant will Tie put In charge of the
blind department who understands the ways
of the darlc-days people and who will see
that they have their wants In the literary
line supplied as far as possible.
Librarian Young states that his Idea on
the subject of providing raised letter booky
for the blind had originated some time ago ,
that he had determined to carry It out and
that the matter wao progressing so satis
factorily nt present that he was certain
there would be no dlfllculty In Its completion.
There arc a number of volumes with raised
letters In the o d library , but owing to the
crowded condition existing there It was Im
possible to provide suitable means for the
ones who wished to consult them. The books
were there , but might just as well not have
been for the little good they did the people
for whom they were Intended.
In addition to the books for the blind ,
.which are In the old place and which have
accumulated there ever since the ralsvd letter
system was Invented , Mr. Young' wl'l pro
vide others , so that practically all literature
of.thla kind will be Included In the section
of the library set aside for the purpose.
Letters have been written to the beads of
Institutions for the blind and lists of publica
tions obtained. These will be embodied In a
cata'ogue , so that at a glance , or rather at a
touch , the raided letter contents of the
library can be known and whatcv'-r Is
wished brought Into requisition. Mr , Young
has had the advlco of a number of ycrsons
fully competent to give opinions on the
matter anil a'ill net on their suggestions , ns
well as on what Ideas ho has himself. When
the whole Is completed there will be nearly
1 000 volumes , periodicals and other kinds of
literature for the sightless.
It will not be an uncommon thing , when
the plan Is worked out , for visitors In the
library to sec men , women and doubtless
children engaged In tracing the letters which
to the touch of the unskilled would mean
nothing but pas-s.ng the lingers over a roush
surface , but to the contact readers would
open up the undying and soul-refreshing
waters of the Pierian spring.

CLEVELAND , Aug. 27. President Mc-
Kttilcy surprised the people of Cleveland by
his early arrival from Buffalo this morning.
Ho became the guest of the people of this
city this morning , nnd will remain such
until next Wednesday. The reception of
the president was not ne elaborate as had
been planned. There was no presidential
salute fired by the naval reserves from the
old revenue cutter Andrew Johnson ; the
cannon of steam nnd sail craft did not belch
forth In deafening sounds In welcome of the
president ; banners and Hags did not flutter ! i !
lu .thp breeze In honor of hla coming. There I
was reason for the absence of nil this
ceremony which had been planned on an
elaborate scale. It was lacking because the
presidential party arrived In Cleveland
several hours ahead of schedule time , or
rather , the time anticipated by these who
had planned the local reception.
The Commacho which brought the
, . , , presi
dential party from Buffalo , arrived Inside of
Cleveland harbor at 2:30 : o'clock. There It
lay at anchor until 7 o'clock , when It
steamed Into the Inner harbor and made fast
at the dock of the Pennsylvania company.
Senator Hatina was somewhat surprised to
know that the elaborate preparations had
been made for the reception of the president
and said ho had advised against It yester
day by telegraph , stating there was no
certalnlty of the hour of their arrival. Ho
asked that the naval reserves and the Tlppc-
canoe club bo notllled of the arrival of the
Commachc and Invited the newspaper men
aboard the yacht. The president's party was
scattered about the boat In groups of twos
and threes. President and Mrs. McKlnlcy
wore midship , looking across the muddy
Cuyahoga and conversing with Colonel M. T.
Herrlck. The president's appearnaco gave
Indication of perfect health.
The party repaired to Senator Hanna's
residence , where breakfast waa served. It
Is probable that a public reception will bo
held later In th.o day.
HAD A HIJCEPTION' HEADY.
The keenest disappointment prevails over
the manner In which the president and
Senator Ilanna entered Cleveland. The
Tlppccanoo club and the naval reserves had
planned a most elaborate reception , which
included a parade about the down-town
streets and a speech In the public square.
The hour the Commancho was expected to
arrive was 9 a. in. , and the program had been
prepared to conform to that time. At 8
o'clock Mayor McKlsson placed his overcoat
on his arm and proceeded to the boat land
ing. Meanwhile the Tlppccanoo club and the
Great Western baud wre marching and
countermarching about their headquarters to
get Into position. Thp people were gathering
In numbero to go to the boat landing. It fell
as a distinct shock to all of them to learn
that the president had arrived two hours
earlier and was already at Wlndemerc.
President McKtnJey , was unusually
pleasant In his demeanor * He talked of his
trip from Buffalo , of the Grand Army of the
Republic encampment , which ho pronounced
to bo the greatest In history , nnd spoke In
the highest terms of the manner In which
the people of Buffalo had handled the en
campment. He was asKed his Impression
coi-fcrnlng prosperity , but replied :
"You had better ask business men about
that. They can give you better Informa
tion than I can. " '
Of his plans for next week the president
spoke freely. Ills stay' In Cleveland , he
said , would be a quiet one , with rest as the
principal thln to be sought. On Wednes
day of next week , probably In the morning ,
the presidential party will leave for Fre
mont , O. , where they 'will ' attend the Hayes-
Smith wedding In the evening. The follow
ing day the president will attend the re
union of his old regiment and on Friday will
go t/ > the state fair at Columbus. The presi
dent's mother will not visit Cleveland dur
ing the stay of her son , the latter will make
a short trip to Canton , however , after his
trip to Columbus. The president will prob
ably spend Saturday and Sunday with his
mother before returning to Washington.
Vice President Hobart and Mrs. Hobart ,
who went east from Syracuse , will not como
to Cleveland.
President McKlnlcy decided to spend the
afternoon at Mr. Hanna's home. The naval
reserves , however , were determined not to be
deprived of their presidential salute. The
Andrew Johnson accordingly steamed out In
the lake off Henna's residence and after
firing twenty-one guns returned to the har
bor.
PLANNED A SURPRISE.
As a sort of compensation for the disap
pointment of the people who expected to greet
the president on his arrival here this evenIng -
Ing , It has been arranged to hold a public
rsccptlon tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock at
the Hollenden hotel. The president and Sena
tor Ilanna reg.-et that there should have been
cny disappointment.

A i > hark la caught like any other fish , ex
cept that the Uckle used , being proportion
I ate to the size of the fish , seems tremen
deus , The hook Is very heavy , the bend
being about like that of the r.urvo of an
umbrella . handle. To the long shank of the
' hook Is attached several feet of chain , to
prevent the shark from biting the cord. To
the chain Is fastened the flsh 11.IP , a stout
rope about the clzo of a clothesline nnd
very strong. This rope Is long enough to
nllow the shark to run away with consid
erable line. For bait , anything , almcst ,
that t ; Is meat can be used If the shark Is
hungry , but half n blucfUdi 's commonly
used. for. as the old skipper said , "Sharks
like good things to eat as well ns any one
clix ? . " The beat Idea of sharking can be
gained , says n correspondent of the Springfield -
field ( Maw. ) Hepubllcan , by following the
boat through. Knowing the shark's liking
for frrsh bltieflsh , the skipper decided to
preface the shark hunt with a little blue-
fishing , the best place for the latter lying
on the way to the sharking ground. The
suggestion was well received , for bluefl-OiIng
I ? quite as good sport HH sharking , and
more uncertain. Vor the M'er reason the
skipper took .some shark t.slt slong , cnn-
elating largely of rank old Huh heads which
j left n streak of rich odor In the frcfch
breeze. , A fish head which Ins boon owl-
terlng t for a day or so In August Is not
pleasant to contemplate , but the aroma
drawo the shark , which seem * able to etui'll
as well as eco under water.
The blue fishing was successful ; In fact ,
It was so good that It wes hard to have to
leave It , The skipper contested himself with
half a doztti of the gamey blucflsh , which
the boat gathered In on the way across the
bluoflah territory. Those were enough for
bait , with enough left over for two or three
families' meals. The first three blucflsh that
"struck" were lost , and one of them > utlng
under the boat lodged the hook eo firmly In
the ccnterhoard that the line bad to bo cut
and the hook abandoned , which made the
skipper and his mate look downcast , for they
hate to lose anything overboard , and this was
the flrat Ices of the ceasou. However , the
hook was recovered later In a peculiar man
. ner . , as will be seen. The sharking ground
' reached , the anchor was dropped and the
catboat lay toeing while the hooks were
baited and preparations made for the recep
tion of the big fish.
The hooks , when baited , made tempting
morsels , calculated to attract any shark In
the vicinity. Five or six pounds of flsh
were put ODI each hook , most of It nice ,
fresh blucflsh , In long slices , with the bright ,
red gills at the end of the hook. The lines
had been over hardly two minutes when
there was a nibble. The shark was not
hooked , but the valuable bait was gone and
had to be replenished. Six times that hap
pened , and It was the seventh shark that
fell a victim to the big hooks. A shark
bltea like a minnow cci a largo scale. He
takes the bate which Is on the bottom so
easily that the fisherman does not feel It.
Ho soon feels the line going out slowly , Inch
by Inch. The speed Increases , and perhaps
after twenty yarda of line have gone out
the shark will have bolted the meat and
started off- with It. Then Is the time to
make a sharp , quick strike , and it he Is
hooked all right Is followed by a tremend
ously hard pull to get him In , and the serv
ices of all the men In the boat are likely to
bo required.
The flrst two sharks to bite were evidently
llttlo fellows , for they did not attempt to
holt the hook , though they appropriated a
largo part of the bait. The third was a
big fellow and seemed solidly hooked. He
lot himself be hauled In some yard , ? and
then made a rush for the bottom of the
boat. He evidently got his nose against the
centerboard , for suddenly the hook was freed
with n Jerk. The fishermen were surprised
to find on the hook the blueflsh hook and
line which had been lost two hours bofore.
The shark .had dislodged It from the centerboard -
board , where It had been fast. The men were
moro rejoiced at this than If the shark had
been landed. The next two sharks got away
after affording considerable exercise and thi-
slxth narrowly escaped capture. It took thre/o
men to 'haul him up to the surface and the
line was carried furiously hero and there In
hit ? attempts to frco himself. Just as he
reached tha surface bo succeeded and the
occupants of the boat had the satisfaction of
seeing his great gray and white body , ceem-
lugly as largo as a oo\v , shoot swiftly down
with a scared switch of the tall.
In ten minutes moro the next shark was
hooked , attracted , doubtless , by rank old
flsh heads that were thrown Into the water.
He too'.c the line easily and carried It out
gradually till there was none left. Then the
strike came and the tug of war followed ,
The shark made considerable commotion In
the water , but he had not the resources of
the bluefls-h for making trouble and It was a
question merely of the strongest side win
ning. Finally the short Iron chain came out
of the water , followed by the wicked heat' ,
of a largo shark , with a foot or so of baited
hook sticking out of his mouth. The hook
was so fastened that the shark was haulc
tin with his back to the boat , which made It
hard work to kill him , as the nose Is the
vulnerable point. Two blows broke the club
which hud been brought for the purpose and
the shark wcs as much alive as ever. The
mate , at the risk of getting a bite , reached
over the snapping flsh and plunged his knife
Into Its eldo and finally the shark was sufll-
clently subdued to haul up on the narrow deck
around the cock-pit. He was ono of the largest
landed that day , though not so heavy as
some of the others. Ho was over nine feet
long and weighed about 300 pounds. The
under elde of a eand shark Is dead white ;
from bead to tall , and Inside , as far down
as you can see , which Is pretty much his
whole length when his mouth Is open , thcro
"s a snow-whlto cavern , the only color being
Ills blood-red gills. The teeth are very sharp
snd slender , but hardly strong enough for a
.successful attack on a large animal. The
man-eaters , which have been rarely caught
About Nantuckct , are a very different flsh
and are much larger , gamier uud more fe
rocious.
There are other ways of catching sharks ,
and If handled right a good , lively ebark
will afford some lively sport , A very sports
manlike way la to catch him In a dory wUh
a blueflah line. The elcmeut of uncertainty
enters the problem then , for It Is not sure
whether you will capture the shark or vice
versa. If you do kill the shark you have
plenty of work cut out , and the dory la
likely -to be towed a long dUtance. The
shark Is played with a long line , and Is al
lowed to run freely until he Is tired. Occa
sionally there are sportsmen who try shork-
'rig with a rod , and that Is a popular way
for taking blucflsh. The great trouble with
killing sharkft Is that the carcacsos are of
10 use to anyone. Tlio meat and the hldo
ire valueless , and after the fishermen have
exhibited their catch at the wharf , all that
remains Is to tow the flsh back Into the
ocean and let him sink. There used to be
an old blacksmith on the wharf who would
try out the livers for oil , which had a medic
inal value , but he Is now dead , and there
Is no use to which the shark can bo put.
Soraetlme-a the mouths arc cut out for souve
nirs. H Is a good plan to block the Jawa
with a big rock when cutting out teeth , for
they have a fashion of flying together which
lu tough on hands.
A catch of another kind has been attract
ing attention at Nantucket. It Is an enor
mous aunllsh , which cae of the telnern on
the Houth side of the Island captured after a
hard struggle. The flsh weighs forty-eight
rounds and ha < ) been on exhibition since Ito
capture. Ono of the most remarkable things
about It Is lla evil smell.

Clionii Money.
Bomo years ago , when the world's mer
cantile clement was beginning to recognize
that the universal decline In the bullion price
of silver was due to the Immutable laws of
supply and demand , and not to statute enact
ments , and therefore , was likely to be per
. manent , there was n report , writer l\vld
A. Wells In Harper's Weekly , that n full
| equipment of n mint I. o. , for coinages-had
. . been exported from England to China. As
the ' Chinese government , however did not
j furnish ' Its people With nnvthlug In the nature
of i money for facilitating their exchanges ,
except the rude coin known as "cash" a
small disk with a squire hole In the mid-
die. composed mnlnty of nti nlloy of copper
nml zinc , and which wo * cast In n mould and
not coined the purpose for which minting
could be needed In China was not apparent ,
And with eome surmlsca that "Mexican" or
"American" dollars of former weight , pat
tern , and quality , but of Impaired bullion
value , were to he- made and traded off us
under former conditions on John Chinaman.
tlii- subject passed out of public Interest.
'But ' , be this as It may , ft mint was really
manufactured In England , transported to
China , and eel up In Canton , where , under
the auspices of the local authorities , but
under the exeluolvc management of English
mechanic * nnd engineers , it has since brcn
engaged In coining "cash" of better quality
nud design than formerly , and In largo i
quantities , for exclusive circulation In the
two lower or southern provinces of China.
Some dissatisfaction having been expressed ,
however , by a leading viceroy , Ilu K'un-YI , j
that the copper cash struck by the foreign ,
machinery of the Canton mint was ton j
heavy , and apt to tempt counterfeiters to
melt It down and co'n ' lighter cash , which i
could easily para muster lu the markets , the !
Imperial government at n very recent period :
ordered three new additional coluago plants ; j
but this time the order was glvcu to the
United States , and executed In New Jersey ; !
nnd the plants nrt > now actively operative ,
either lu or In proximity to Peking , under
the Immediate supervision of the emperor ,
Two of these plants were designed for maki i
Ing "cosh" of ordinary brans , or of two- j
thirls copper and one-third zinc for UBO ,
and circulation In the northern provinces of
Chlim , and at present srt reported as turn
ing out eome 700.000 colno per day , each
machine- making 100 per minute.
AN AMEHICAN PLANT. j
The third coinage plant of American con
struction was completely lilted up , If not
originally designed , for producing five sizes
of fillver coins , the exact counterpart , except
In respect to Inscription and design , of the
United State ? n-cent , 10-cent , 21ecnt , EO-
ccut nnd $1.00 pieces , the last containing
exactly < 12t grains , the United States
silver standard.
The American company which constructed
and Is now operating the three new plants
was Instructed to copy In Ita product * , as
far as the general design was concerned , the
pallet ns furnished by the government , ami
which were probably made nt the Canton
mint. But whether the designs of these coins
originated with Chinese artists or In England
Is not known.
from an artistic point of view the Anicrl-
can-Chinese coins arc claimed to be a great
Improvement on the original patterns or
designs , mere especially In respect to thu
Ur.igons1 scales and muscles , and also the
lettering of the Inscriptions.
For what purpose the actual duplicate coin
age of American silver , so far ail size , weight
and current bullion value are concerned , lies
been entered upon by the Chinese govern
ment la not known and Is dlfllcult to con-
Jecture. Whatever else may be predicted of
the Immense Ignorant and geographically
Isolated people of China , nothing can be
moro certain than that John Chinaman will
never take a piece of silver In trade , or In
exchange for service or Indebtedness , for
moro than Its bullion worth as pure silver ,
no matter what stamp his government or
some merchant may put upon It. Some ono
may , however have persuaded him that
things are different among the barbarian's '
who live afar off and do not belong to the
Celestial empire.
CURHENCY EXPERIENCES IN WEST
AFRICA.
Any recital of recent currency experiences
.would be Imperfect that failed to call at
tention to certain anomalous fiscal troubles
that have lately befallen the people of one
of the negro stales of western Africa , and
which have not yet passed Into history to
an extent that they merit. An Is well known ,
the governments of the leading states of
Europe , with a view to Increasing their com
mercial advantages through the acquirement
of new markets , have within a compara
tively recent period , greatly Increased their
territorial domains and government In nnd
over what Is regarded tut uncivilized Africa.
What. ha.s been achieved In this respect In
"South" nnd "southern" Africa Is well
known ; but the general public Is yet In
a great degree oblivious to the fact that the
French are pushing their territorial occu
pation and domain lu the direction of the
famous city of Tlmbuctoo and the southern
Sahara ; while the English are rapidly oc
cupying a vest tract of territory geographic
ally known as Nlsrllla , from the circum
stance that It Is trnvcrfcd by or la con
tiguous to the ancient and once myntcrloua
river Niger. As almcst all experience has
shown that when civilized and barbarous na
tions have been brought Into contact , mutual
pcaco and security for commercial Inter
course can only be attained by the exhibit
or exercise of superior military force on , the
part of the former ; and consequently the
British occupation and government of
Nlgrltla have been necessarily military , with
such contingent beneficial results ns the
termination of the horrible human-.sacrlilcc1
kingdom' ] of Ashanti'c and Dahomey.
Ono of the Nlgrltlan Kingdoms that has
moot recently , and after cocrtlderablo light
ing , passed under British rule- and European
Ideas and enterprise Is that of Nupp , which ,
although ruled by a barbarous negro king ,
wan , through n concurrent Arab population ,
to a considerable ) extent commercial trading
through caravans with an Interior , and to
whom tbo advent of the English was prob
ably not unwelcome. The currency of thl
kingdom and Its population was mainly
nlavrx ; with , Inferential ! ) ' , slave babies nnd
children serving as subsidiary money media.
And herein Is Impending a very eerloiifl
financial dllllctilty. For as the Hrltlsh gov
ernment does not sanction or tolerate slavery
and as It Is understood that the new ofllcd'H
of the state , known as the "Niger Company , "
propose and promise the entire alxilltlon of
a previous legal Hiatus In rcvpect to all the
Instrumentalities of barbarl m rulu of the
"witch iloctow , " human eacrlllccs. human
slavery , and the like the Intcrrutlug quen-
tlon has naturally arisen , what are the >
people of Nupo going to do for money , or
rather for currency ? Will a party arise , as
In the United States , who will manfully con
tend for the maintenance of the "dollar of
their fathers ? " Will not some "Nupean'
Bryan set forth In fitting languagu the wick
edness of the demonetization of the former
Nupean currency ? What better use can
