WARRING ARABS
Up in. Arms Against tlie Whites—Ex
termination 'threatened.
A Brussels, Belgium, cablegram of
Friday says: Tho Independence Beige
states that twenty agents of the Katanga
company have boen killod or captured by
the Arabs on the upper Congo river.
Tlie Ste iner B- mart, which was taking
goods up the river, was sciz d, and tha
factories woro razed. Wholo tribes on
the western bank of the river are in in
surrection. Arabs northwest of Nyangue
have gone down Luatab i river, and cap
tured the station at Kibariba, killing the
whites employed there. The stations of
upper Lomassi have also been destroyed.
Arabs at Stanley Falls and Isangi, who
have hitherto been loyal, are showing
hostility. The Congo state authorities
are sending reinforcements to the various
points threantcne lby the Arabs. Dis
patches from Z nzibar bring interesting
news from tho scene of action.
'Hie Arab insurrection, under Raimali
aa, has spread from Tanganyika to Stan
ley Falls, and, what was a merely local
demostration, has developed into a gen
eral uprising of the Arabs of Central Af
rica against white domination.
The Arabs have grown desperate, ow
ing to the evident determination of the
whites to suppress the slave trade, by
which the Aral's have accumulated their
wealth and established their power.
They wen- greatly encouraged by the
disaster to tin: British, under Captain
Maguire, last December, when Captain
Maguire and two other Englishmen lost
their lives in a conflict with slave traders.
The Arabs were still more strengthened
in their hostile attitude by the more re
cent su'cessful attack on Fort Johnson.
The greatest anxiety is felt for tho
safety of tho expeditions under Cuptain
Jaques and Captain Joubert which were
sent out to suppress tlie slave trade. It
is said that the Arabs have sworn to ex
peditions as a lesson to the whites not to
interfere witli tlie traffic. It is known
at the latest accounts that a largo force of
Arabs nad gone in search of Joubert.
Tho news from tho seat of the insur
rcccti'in is of tlie most meager kind, but
is sufficient to cause tho gravest anxiety
to lie felt, not only for the anti-slavery
expeditions mentioned, but also for the
Cattiolie and Protestant missions.
The reports from the Congo country
agree in stating that the troubles are not
due to an uprising of local Arabs but to
the invasion of the Nyangive regions by
hands of Tanganyika Arabs. The Congo
state officials believe that the reports
were received that quiet prevailed at
Kansongo, Stanley Fulls and on tho
Tomassi river.
YELLOW FEVER ON BOARD.
The Steamer Eva B. Douglass Is Sent
to Hie ({iinranline Station.
Telegrams of Sunday from Tampa,
Fla., stale that reports of yellow fever on
the American steamer Eva B. Duglass,
have been confirmed by official statements
of Dr. Joseph Porter. The vessel was
bound from Havana to Punta Gorda load
ed with phosphate, and was detained at
tho state quarantine, twenty-eight mile 3
below Port Tampa, according to tho law
for fumigation and disinfection. This
was on August fid, and while this was
going on Captain Letts was stricken down
wjth yellow fever.
Before tho vessel could bo moved to
the government station at Dry Tortugas,
three others of the crew were taken sick,
so State Health Officer Porter put some
of his own men aboard, who took tho
vessel five miles down the hay and an
chored her at a point ten miles from tho
track of vessels, where he is personally
attending tlie rick. Lnst Thursday
morning Captain Letts died and his body
was Imried at Anna Maria Key, an unin
liubited island further down tho bay.
Tho other cases arc improving, but the
disease will prbably go through the en
tire crow, with the exception of a mulat to
from Cuba, who has probably had tho
fever boforo. There the Douglas is com
pletely isolated, ami there is absolutely
no communication with tlie mainland or
with other shipping. The state board of
health lias the boat under perfect control.
Confidential notifications were sent in
cypher to the chairman of every county
board of health in Florida, as well as to
the presidents of all state boards, ns per
agreement made at the Montgomery quar
antine conference three years ago. Flor
ida’s coast patrol has made it practically
impossible for any infectious disease to
lie communicated to the mainland, and
in this one instance the state board of
health has done service worth thousands
of times the cost of tho board’s mainte
nance.
THE ALABAMA MUDDLE.
The Kolb People Are Indignant And
Claim that Frnud Was Perpetrated.
A Montgomery dispatch of Tuesday
says: No incident in tho recont state elec
tion has caused the Kolb people to feel
more indignat than throwing out ten ot
the twenty-two boxes in Pike county,
by which means the county, which went
for Kolb by 910 majority, was given to
Jones by a majority of fifty-five. This
is what caused the people of that county
to call u convention next Monday to
take steps to protect themselves in what
they eonsid‘ r their rights.
County officers on the Kolb ticket will
push their contests in the counties of
Pike and Conecuh, and claim that they
will surely win before the jury. The
counted out legislators will contest for
their seats, and a Joues man says he be
lieves the legislature will seat them.
Kolb is out in a published letter dis
puting the claims of Jones’ election. The
letter concludes; “1 have been fairly
and honestly elected by over forty thous
and majority, aud the people of my na
tive state recognize the fact and will see
that justice is accorded liy placing me at
the head of onr state government for the
next two years.” The letter ereatiss
sensation, aud is rtgarded as evidence ol
Kolb’s intention to challenge the offieia
count, which is nearly completed and
fixes Jones’ majority at between nine and
twelve thousand.

published broadcast aud that it had been
fill d among other documents with Gov
ernor Buchanan. Mr. Cleveland docs not
deny writing the letter. Tho letter re
ceived from Mrs. Wuite was a very pa
thetic one and certainly deserved an an
swer. Mr. Cleveland reiterated his state
ment that he “ought not to interfere by
appealing to the governor for a mitiga
tion of the sentence.” Mrs. White’s let

TRADE REVIEW
For the Past Week as Reported by U.
<>. Dun A Co.
R. G. Dun A Co.’s weekly report says:
The crop reports are not quite up to ex
pectations. and are construed ss indicat
ing a deficient supply of corn and oats,
while any possible deficiency in wheat
and cotton will be more than met by the
surplus stocks. But prices have ad
vanced quite sharply, and the exports of
domestic products fall below last year’s.
The great industries are all doing re
markably well, ixcep’.ing iron manufac
ture, in which the labor controversies
have been partially settled.
The iron output on August Ist was 15, -
138 tons weekly, agaii.st 169,151 July
Ist, and 109,576 a year ago, but the
stocks unsold nevertheless increased 16,-
000 tons during the month of July, and
on the Is’ of August exceeded 1,000 000
tons Southern pig iron is pressed for
sale, and some quotations are lower than
ever. But the resumption of manufac
ture by the Western iron works, which
have settle 1 their controversies with the
men will make a great change in the sit
uation at once, increasing the output of
iron, but probably the demand still more.
In textile industries the utmost activ
ity prevails. Manufacturers are buying
wool freely. Boston sales for the week
being 2,000,000 pounds above last year’s,
and tlie total sales at the three principal
markets for the year thus far have been
32,000,000 pounds greater than last year.
The boot and shoe factories are still
pressed to the utmost and shipments
from the east continue for the year 31,-
000 eases greater than last year. Cotton
fell hii eighth, though exports ate larger
than a year ago, ns the crop reports grow
more favorable. In fall clothing, trade
is heavy and stocks of woolens are being
closed out, while orders for spring goods
are liberal. The trade in dry goods is
rendered larger than usual by liberal
western orders, particularly in woman’s
dress goods. At Philadelphia wool is
also strong with free receipts, groceries
dull, but up to the average, manufactured
iron in better demand other trades com
paratively quiet. At Baltimore tlie trade
in dry goods and hardware is good and
shoe manufacturers report business far
ahead of last year.
The strike in the iron mills at Pitts
burg has been settled with a reduction of
10 per cent, in wages in the finishing
branches, and the window glass workers
have settled the scale on last year’s basis.
The southern reports show a general
improvement in trade at Little Rock, at
Memphis, Montgomery and New Orleans,
but at Galvestou collections are slow, and
at Savannah money is reported tight.
The treasury has taken in $700,000 more
gold and silver than it has paid out,
while lessening the volume of notes in
circulation $1,200,000. but money is
abundant aud chenp. Silver has fallen to
38 pence in London, tlie lowest price
ever quoted, and in June it sold at 41
pence.

trip tickets from Paducah, Ivy., to Old

from Memphis to Paducah is $5. This
makes the round trip rate from Memphis
to Old Point Comfort only S2O. The reg
ular summer round trip excursion rate is
$36.40, tickets good for twenty days.
Wli- n the Louisville and Nashville and
Memphis and Charleston roads learned of
tlie intention of tho C’hesap. ako and Ohio
they too decided to join in the fight, and
the Hires roads have put on cheap tickets
to eastern points. When the Memphis
rente heard of the cut it ordered its agents
to go further than the other roads, and
will sell for S2O round trip tickets to
Norfolk and Richmond, Va., Savannah,

A MILLION IN GOLD
Shipped to Germany by a Ranking
Firm Causes Comment.
A New York dispatch says: A critical
test of the policy of the government was

shipment to Germany by Tuesday's
steamer. The treasury officials made no
demur, but paid out the million gold
in exchange for the treasury notes,
and the gold was carried away and put on

some comment, as no home institution or
homeltauking institution has ever iu the
history of the government made a like
demand on the treasury, snd in some
quarters the impression prevai'ed that
the exporting firm took this step not so
much to make a profit on the shipment,
i hut really for the purpose of forcing a
I ctisis.

accused to declare himsi If guilty of tbe
charge against him, and to such an ex
tent is it carried that it often results in
either causing the death of the deceased
or else maiming him for life.
The famous story of the word “sirloin,”
or, more properly, “surloin,” is of a re
cent creation. A king of England—the
“merry monarch,” most likely—coming
in hungry one day from the chase, had
served up to him a savory loin of beef.
So deligh'ed was the famished king at
the sight of his favorite dish that lie
knighted it on the spot, and is it
known as “sirloin” even to this day?
Facts About Heads.
Intellectual strength aud executive
ability are attributed to those who have
long heads. But a German scientist who
made examination of the cranial capacity
of 5,000 soldiers at Baden is of the opin
ion that the size of the skull depends
almost invariably on the proportions of
the body. Tall men he found to always
have long skulls, or skulis of medium
length, whereas tho short, fat men, as a
rule, had round, fiat heads

Few appreciate how much of the fl ral
beauty which gives interest to travel we
owe to foreign introductions. If we want
to admire our own rative productions we
have to go to the swamps and deep
woods, and look for them iu the more
out of tho wav places, as we would look
for a lot of wild Indians. —Philadelphia
Ledger.
