I THE MOKNISj NEWS. 1 J Established 1850. Incorporated 1886. V I J. H. EBTTLL. President ( ALIYEORDEAD IN AFRICA THE JUNGbK’S SECRET A8 MUCH UNSOLVED AS EVER. The Story of the Arrival on the Aru whiml Discredited in the Congo Free State Lieut. Wiesmann's Start Won't Be Made before February— Germany's Policy. CopVriQht, ISBS, hy yew York Associated Press' Berlin, Dee. 32.—The committee of the Emin Relief Association give more credence to the reported arrival of Henry M. Stanley on the Aruwliimi than they did to Osman Digna’s story of Emin Pasha's capture, but they have decided to continue the preparations for sending out Lieut. Wiesmann's expedition for Emin’s relief until the news is verified. Some of the members of the committee, in discussing the eontradio ions between the dispatch from Zanzibar, which reports that Stanley had reached the Aruwhiiui, and the one that came from the Congo, reporting tho arrival on the Aruwhimi of both Stanley and Emin B y, conclude that Stanley had reached the Aruwhimi, intending to reach E niu Pasha, but boldine that the safety of tue latter re mains in doubt. WIBSMANN’S START DELAYED. The departure of Lieut. W issraann will now be retarded until early in February. This delay is partly duo to the impossibility of obtaining the passage of the East African bill by the reichstag before February. Although the release of E in Pasha will be the "one object of the expedition, it will also act in accord with the anti-slavery orations on its return from the interior, ft will be proposed in the reichstag, that part of the money voted shall be used in raising a force of colonial troons even if it happens that Ernin Bey is safe. Lieut. Wiesmann's plans already formed will be the probable basis of the expedition into the interior. Lieut. Wissmann expects whatever happens to lead a colonizing force. Lieut. Wissmann’s brother officers in the second regi raent of me guard will give hinj a farewell dinner at the end of January. cardinal lavigerie’s advice. In the discussion of the route to be tak 'n and the number of men composing the ex pedition, a letter from Cardinal Lavigerie to the German minister at Brussels attracts attention. Cardinal Lavigerie uses his knowledge of the interior of Afric i to sup port the statement that 500 troops marching through German territory by way of Un yanyembe to Ujiji on Lake Tanganyika could crush the slave trade, and disarm and forever disable the Arab slave merchants. The East Africa bill is understood to de mand a sum of money sufficient for a larger scheme, involving the coast garrisons and several inland garrisons. Newspaiwrs here in their oriticism of re cent events at Suiskiin concur in English action there with the German policy on the Zanzibar coast. effect of the suakim campaign. Tbe North German Gazette says: “The trouble at Suakim will h ve a direct effect upon the anti-slave movement and will probably help to liberate Emin Bey.” The Gazette recommends that a force of Egyptia s, commanded by British officers, proceed to Suakim. The National Gazette holds that Ger many’s energetic police on the Zanzibar coast has determined England’s act on in the Rea sea, and it hopes that Lord Salis bury’s cabinet will now take strong meas ures regarding 3oudau. Vie na papers, looking at the business side of the subject, expressa good opinion of the Soudan trade, Austria having, prior to El Mahdi’s triumphs, pro table dealings with the Soudanese, chiefly in euilery. Lord Salisbury’. declarations that the British will not go further than Suuki n are given li tie attention, official circles having reason to expect a Ifcrge develop ment of English policy on the Red sea coast simultaneous wi.h German action in Zanzi bar. THE KHEDIVE’S LETTER. Scakim, Dec. 22. — . he copy of tbe khe dive’s letter to Emin Pasha, which was forwarded to Gen. Greenfe 1 by Osman lligna, proves to be an exact reproduction of the origiuaL A spy from Handoub reports that the vil lage is crowded with wounded Arabs, among them being several Emirs. Gen. Greeufell reviewed the troops of his command to-day. He afterward ad dressed them, praisi g the hraverv which they had shown in Thursday’s battle. He also read telegrams from Lord Stanhope, secretary of war, tbe Duke of Cambridge and the Queen, congratulating them on their victory. The troops enthusiastically cheered the general.

MORI EIRE NOT A SPY. Prince Bismarck Will Make an Official Contradiction. Copyrighted by New York Associated Press. Berlin, Dec. 22.— Semi-official papers continue their attacks on tbo character o Sir K. D. Uoriere, tbe British ambassador at St. Petersburg. The apparent object is to prevent the acceptance of Sir Moriere at Vienna under the pending changes of Eng lish ambassadors. Sir Moriere asks, through the British minister he e, for au official contradiction of the Cologne Gazette's assertion that be held communication wiih Marshal Bazai e during the war of 1870, aud was seeking to betray the German army. Sir Aloriere, though heartily dis liked by Prince Bismarca, will get tbe con tradiction he desiim HIB VIEWS SIMILAR TO FREDERICK’S. Prince Bismark knows him as holding views of German politics similar to those of Emperor Frederick. He was a dose friond of Baron Von Liemet during h i lo g pe riod of diplomatic service at various Ger man courts. The chaucallor probably has caute to suspect him of iutrigueing against German interests since the lime of bis re jection, but the charge of acting as a spy for Marshal Bazaiue is incredible. During the war Sir Moriere, then attached to the court at Darmstadt, went to Str sbourg in order to give help to the wounded Gor cans, and received the confidence and respect of the German officials. Hut he has iow ac quired the cordial dislike of the officials of Berlin as a supposed enemy of German unity. DeLESSkPd' BIG SETBACK. The Bankruptcy Bill's Clauses Not Apt to Be Detached. Paris, Dec. 22.—The proposal to detach from tho new bankruptcy biU the clauses applicable to the Panama Canal Company i* likely to provo abortive.

STANLEY AT WaDELAI. A Story Brought to Zanzibar Picked Up from Arab Traders. Zanzibar, Dec. 22.—One of the special messengers sent into the interior in October in the hope of obtaining news of Emin Bey and Stanley from caravans, has sent a dis patch announcing that he met Arab trailers from Wadelai, who positively affirmed that Stanley met Emin Bey there about Jau. 20. Stanley, the traders said, had 330 men, and plenty of stores. He had endured great privations, but he aud all his party were well although extremely ex aus ed. The delav in rearming Wadelai was due to difficulties encountered on the route, the expedition having to make a long detour toward the northeast in order to avoid swamps and hostile tribes. Emin was then in fairly good position, although some of his E .yptian offioors were grumbling, aud many of his soldiers had deserted. TWO HOSTILE KINGS. The kings of Uganda and Unyora were hostile to E uin, who was obliged, in No vember, to repel predatory incursions from theeast. Hisgener 1 healtn was good, buthe had been suffering from an affection of tue eyes for two mo ths. A fortnight after Stanley’s arrival, Emin received, via Lado, a message from tho Mahdi pompously inti mating his in’ention to subdue the whole country as far as the great lakes, and promising good treat uent if Emin submited. Emin replied that before evacuting he must wait for the Mahdi to prove the legitimacy of his claim to the provinoe. Stanley, in the mean time, a ipiied himself to re-toring or der among tbe troops and dirt ibut.ng store* and munitions. Emil told Stanley that he did not desire to leave Wa lelai. Toe entire route to the coast was moit dangerous on account of the incessant agitation amo..g the tribes and the hostility of Mwauga. STANLEY SENDS OUT MESSENGERS. Toward the middle of April, hearing that a force of the Mahdi’s was coming, Emin ordered his advance posts between Duflle and Lado to retire to Wadelai, aid Stanley sent messengers to tho kings of Uganda and Umyora. About the end of April, when the traders left Wadelai, Stanley was anxious, owing to the absence of news from the rear guard, and was arranging to send a string detachment in search of them along the route which he himself had followed. Stanley also again u ged Emm to leave Wadelai with him and re gain the coast. Stanley sent several cou riers with news for Europe. Ole was a courier who was sent bv the foreign consul ■ at Zanzibar to apprize E nin of the depart ure of tho relief expedition. This courier had remained at Wadelai, and was sent back to the east coast after the arri val of Stan ley. Another courier was sent in the direc tion of the Aruwhimi BAVARIA’S BISHOPS. Drift of their Address to the Sovereign Pontiff. Copyrighted by the New York Associated Press 18S8. Berlin, Dee. 22.—The addresses of the Ba varian bishops to the pope does not allude to the Roman Catholic church in Bavaria. Referri g to the subject of temporal power, the bishops say: We suffer with you. With you we claim the re-establishment of your rights of liberty aud temporal power. We must condemn what is being tried against the liberty of the supreme chief of the church, and we will work with in exhaustible zeal to restore to the holy father, true and complete independence. The address concludes with a prayer that God will permit his holiness to rem iin in violable in the metropolis of Catholic Christians. ARMORER OP THE WORLD. Germany Now the Center of the Sword-Making Industry. London, Dec. 22.—1n relation to the complaints of the inferior quality of the bayonets used by the troops at Suakim, Wilkinson & Son, arms manufacturer* who furnished the weapons, explain tbar they are unable to make bayonets in England now, owing partly to their in ability to secure skilled workmen and partly to the incompletion of their new fac tory, the work on which is being pushed forward. They state that Uerinany is now the center of toe sword-making industry of the world. The war office authorities regard this explanation as reasonable. SEE NAPLES AND DIE.

No One Able to Predict an Outbreak or Prevent It—All Must Be in Readi ness for the Emergency—Germany’s Emperor Still Improving His Army. Rome, Deo. 22.—Premier Crispi, contin uing the debate in the chamber of deputies on the credit for the defenses, declared that the bill had no special connection with the international situation nor with the triple alliance. “Further,” ho said, “wore we isolated, we should still be obliged to incur additional expenditures in order to make ourselves stronger, for we have already see the effects of isolation in the case of Tunis and a so in the treaty of Berlin. Those who say we ought to be a restraining factor among the otnur powers should remember that this ta*k can only be undertaken by the strong est coun ries, since the weaker has always been less respected than tho stronger. WAR CAUSES NUMEROUS. “I am unable to say whether or not war is probable. No one is ante to predict or prevent it, but causes which might produce an out reak are numerous. My policy has been described as venturesome, aud by some as a policy of provocation. It is neither. I desire simply that Italy may be considered what she is, an equal among equal powers. Accusation has been b ough agam-st the cabiuet. Tuerefore, I have nothing to say in reply. I may state, however, that in the questions recently discus od Italy’s action ha 9 met the ap proval of the groat powers.” In co idusion, Minister Crispi asked for an explicit vote of c mftdence which wat accorded by a vote of 345 to 43.

Nashville, Dec. 32.—A special to the American from Monte val 10, Ala., says. ‘ Near this place, last Thursday, a negro boy made a criminal assault on a voung white girl, but she escaped from him before he accomplished his purpose.

New York, Dec. 22.—1 tis very clear that New York society, in spite of its alleged exclusiveness, has allowed some characters to enter its portals. Alexander Dumas, pere, in one of his later novels describes two precious thieves who managed to palm themselves off as gentlemen aud to secure the entree to the best drawing rooms of Paris. The New York debutante who bas read this romance has undoubtedly shrugged her shoulders and smiled at the thought that such a thing would bo impoe ible in the gilded upper-crust of the American metropolis. Yet, according to the most prominent entertainers of the day, she is mistaken. I do not pretend to state that any society leader has admitted so much in words, but their actions reveal then thoughts, and, as usual, speak louder than language. It is both strange and ludicrous that, in tbe society which hundreds of wealthy and well-educated persons are clamoring to enter, there shou and be members who can not be trusted in a crowded parlor. That men who look down upon ordinary morals as dross should be suspected of carrying off loose artiCies of value is a Mate of affairs which the every-day com: reheusion finds it difficult to master. Yet it is true. Elsa, why was f>t that Mr. Cornelius Van lerbilt found it necessary to have no less than three detectives disguised as gentle men at his recent reception to Rev. Dr. David W. Greer# Here was an aff air a’ which the host ought to have felt secure of iis guests if there ever was one in Now York It was a reception given in honor of anew rector of iSt. Barihoio mew’s church, that very high-tofied place of worship, and only gentle men were invited. It is fair t ■ say that Mr. Vanderbilt, who is a conservative man m society as elsewhere, did no:, go outride of the list of his own acquaintances, and surely a great millionaire could hardly bo suspected of knowing a blackleg! And, mind you, he must have feared something more than tho accidental admission <jif n single doubtful character, or he would have had only one detective stationed somewhere about the entrance hail to scrutinize tho arrivals. But not only were there three but they were actually put in full dress aud allowed to roam about, elbowing the most exclusive of Mr. McAllister’s celebrated 400, and drinking punch out ot tho same bowl! jit possible that we have come to this? One can hardly imagine th * anguish that such a calamity would have occ .siouedour higo minded social leaders bad they unfortun ately learned of it at the time. I wonder what our mayor, the Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, thought of the presence of bis three subalterns iu such unusu and uni form. He was there and mqst have reqog ruzod the three faithful guardians of Ihe people’s welfare, for he knows t-ljein well. Yet, strange as it may seem, Mr. Vanderbilt’s fear fer his loose articles of value, his bejoutry and objects d’art, was entirely pardonable,, a. id has plenty of pre edent. Wuile otir native society is re.lly very respectable as com pared with society iu cities of the old world, yet there are foreign elements iu it which, while openly flattered and pettefl, are se cretly viewed with suspicion. Societies love f >r noble names, or rather, for those which sound noble, has caused it to accept at all limes the alleged duke , earls, viscounts, barons and so forth, many •if whom have not been above stealing um brellas. The Union League Club usually has a dozen of Pinkerton’s men scattered through its rooms in full dress suits at its receptions, and many hosts have done as Mr. Vander bilt did. REPUBLICANISM IN DIXIE. The Alleged Desire of a Member of the Recent Conference. Washington, Dec. 22.—The Star this evening priuts the following: “It may be definitely stated that the committee of the southern republicans of the House will not present any name to Gen. Harrison for a cabinet appointment. They will merely urge the desirability of some sontheru win going into the cabinet. 1 here is one thing they are going to undertake that they think of vital importance to the party in the south. Tuey want to eliminate carpet baggers from the party; or, as one t f the members put it in conversation to-day, ‘turn down’ the men who hang about Washington os professional southern repub licans. PARTY SUCCESS AT STAKE. “They believe that the success of the party depends on their ability to clear away the suspicion that the men wfio went south just at the close of the war to get what tuey could cut of it, and have never had any sv . pathy with the peop.e, are to be at the Lean of affairs. “Wuat we want,” said the Star's informant, “is to get men who cau be republicans without ceasing to be sou hern men; men who can advance tbe interest* and indicate gen uiue repu lican principles, retain tne re spect of their people and remain in sympa thy with tnom. We want those men who think with us to be able to work with us. W e want to make converts among tue best people in the south and to build up our country.” CAUGHT ON A SHAFT. Nearly all the Man's Clothing Torn off, But His Life Saved. Cedar Keys, Fla., Dec. 22.—A serio comic accident occurred at the Eagle Pencil Company’s factory Wednesday. Allen Graves, a colored man employed at the factory as oiler, went up a ladder to oil the bearing* on two lines of parallel shafting suspended just under tue ceiling over the first floor. As he bent over to reach the shaft in front his coat tail came in contact with the rapidly revolving suait in bis rear. There wa* a whir, a jer-t, a scream aud a rush to stop the inac.dtiery.

From the coroner’s Inquest It is learned that Joe Lowry was shot at Demo; eth eo times. The third shot was the fatal one, causing instant death. Tuere were two witness. All were colored. They were playing cards and the two men, murderer ai.rf murdered, quarreled o.er 10 cents, with tne fatal result. Tbe murderer has not yet been captured.

EARL DUNRAV N’3 SPEECH ON THE BACKVILLB INCIDENT. Lord Salisbury Urged to Fill tho Va cancy at Washington without Delay —The Possibility of American Retali ation Pointed Out—The Desirability of Friendly Relations Emphasized. London, Dec. 23.—1n tho House of Lords last night the Earl of Dunraven, speaking on the Sackville incident aaifl: “Ido not propose to go into details; tho sooner the episode is buried, to my mind, the better, but I must express regret that the papers have not boon presented to Parliament. I trust that this will be dune before Parliament is prorogued. Whether the circu - *ta.ce is correctly described by t he prime minister as an episole in e ectiouec ring, v\ hether our minister was entirely to blame, whether he technically or unintentionally committed a bluuder, whether the United States govern ment was fully justified under auy circum stances or by peculir circumstances of the ni ment, are all matters outside of ray ]>oint, which is, that whoever is to blame, • r whether anyone is to blame, surely it would have been more dignified on our part, and more w. rthv of our po ition, to have taken no notice of tho matte-, which, as '.he prime minister early remarked, is no matter affecting tho two nations. peculiar relations. In the case of some foreign txiwors dif ferent considerations woull affect us, but our relations with the United States are peculiar. We us© the word foreign toward them because there is no other suitable ex pression, but lam loth to use tho term to ward the g ©at republic. The United States is, diplomatically speaking, a foreign power, but she cau never be a foreign land to us. Her citizens ar© mainly men of tho same race aud linoage as ourselves, having the same names, speaking tho same tongue, worshipping under the same form of religion and living under the same common law. Their institutions, though differing, are very similar in their integral resneets to our own, and are found 'd on love of liberty and law ad capacity f r sWf-government. It is im possible to look upon such a people as for eigner-*, though one is obliged to speak of their country as a foreign power. CAN UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER. “Of aL the civilized nations, we alone can understand tho united States, and she alone can understand us in respect to the difficulties inseparable from the system* of party govi’rnment. Anv misunderstanding arising let ween us would bo held deplora ble by agreat majority of all thinking men on both Udes of the Atlantic. I fear that, speaking of the circumstances as belonging to the hist ry of electioneering, may have had an irritating effect upon public opinion in America. Be that as it may, it is cer tain that any longer delay in filling up Lord Hackvilie’s place is liable to be misunder stood br tbe American people. ENGLAND’S TWO DUTIES. “I hold it to be our first du*v to aroi l the possibility of anything that may lead to want of sir,cere friendship between the mother country and the colonies, and after that I consider it our second duty to avoid any pos sibility between the United States and ourselves. Before long another min ister will be ace edited *o ti e court of Bt. James. All who know Mr. Phelps person ally and all who recognize the diguity and courtesy ith which bo has discharged his duties will anticipate it with regret. POSSIBLE RETALIATION. “If we delay to accredit a minister at Was invton the United States may retal iate bv delaying to accredit a minister *o us. Two great intematio al questions a e awaiting solution—the fishery and extradi tion—and these we cannot hope to settle exoept, under conditions of real friendship between the two coun*ries. Therefore I asx the prime minister whether the government intends to appoint a mimstr to succeed Lord Hackvillo at Washington.” PARNELL’S SIGNATURE. Th© Roll of the House to be Shown to the Commission. London, Dec. 22.—1n the House of Com mons to-day Mr. Kimbe* moved that the clerk of the house appear before the Parnell commission when it re assembles and produce for it* inspection tbe member’s roll, containing Mr. Parnell’s signature.

At 11 o’clock this morning a second dis patch was received from the party' who sent the first ditpatc i, saying that no more men wei© wanted, and that tho OXCbemeut hail already subsided. It is believed, ho.'ever, that, at least three negroes have been killed up to date, and that George Maury aud th© other utgroes connected with t e riot nave t*een ‘run in’ at some point in the and are surrounded by parties in se nch. DETERMINATION OF THE WHITES. “The Kemper county people and others connected with the search for tho negroes implicated iu the killing are particularly careful u*fc to permit a y news to get out ride tho lines. A rumor that rioting has been renewed is untrustworll y, but there is no doubt as to the continued and deter mined ae ion of tue people of Komper to ferret out the murderous negroes who are *till at large.” YELLOW JACK'S GERMS.
