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. THE JUDGE SUICIDED Because Some of His Acts Had Been Criticized. J due J. C. Normile, of the St. Louis, Mo , criminal court, who recently brought suit against the Post-Dispatch for $400,- 000. and had its three responsible direc tors arrested on charges of criminal libel, committed suicide Tuesday morning by taking poison.

A special of Friday to The Nashville American from Frankfort, Ky., says Governor John Young Brown authorized a denial of the published statement that lie requested Buchanan to commute the sentence of King, and lie denounced as a forgery any petition for such a purpose with his name signed. The North Carolina railway commis sion, in session at Raleigh Friday, ren dered an important decision setting forth that telegraph messages transmitted over n line from one point in the state to an other point also in the state do not con • stitute beiween states, although travers ing another state in the route; and thoy are subject to the rate prescribed by the commission. Dr. Peter Bryce, superintendent of the hospital for the insane, located at Tusca loosa, Ala, died Saturday night.

Wearn, of Charlotte. The next meeting will be at Winston next August. A St. Louis dispatch of Friday says: {■some time ago a Catholic priest at Mitch ells, 111., was formally notified by un or der from the Vatican that his priestly robes had been taken from him. This was done on secret information furnished against him, but by whom the charges w ere preferred and what thoy consist of is not known. He refused to vacate his parish or turn over the church property and bishop Ryan has sworn out a writ of ejectment against him. The case prom ises to be sensational. A New Orleans dispatch of Friday says: The strict enforcement of the anti-lottery law aud the consequent ex clusion of lottery matter from the mails have reduced the revenues of the post office in that city $103,000 per annum. Last mouth the receipts from money or ders, postal notes, etc., fell materially below the amount of silanes in tho de partment, Tho result has been that Postmaster Eaton has received instruc tions from the postmaster genoral to re duce the salaries of all clerks in that di vision. CLEVELAND’S LETTER Regarding the 11. (’lay King Matter Fully Explained. A dispatch from Buzzards Bay, Mass., says: Mr. Cleveland was, on Friday night, shown his published letter of July 27th, written to Mrs. E. C. White, a niece of H. Clay King, which caused no little comment. The letter was a per sonal one and Mr. Cleveland was very much surprised to find that it was being 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 ter. which stated the physical condition of her uncle and other circumstances, led Mr. Cleveland to tender his sympathy for her with the honest hope that the exe cu’ion of the death sentence might bo avoided. One Dollar to Chicago. A New York dispatch of Friday says: The Mail and Express contains a leading editorial proposing a railroad fare of $1 to Chicago during the world’s fair for all workingmen in the United States living w ithin 1,500 utiles of Chicago, and show ing how the railroads can carry the busi uess with a margin of profit.

Thrrc were re ported 9,177 new cases and 5,000 deaths. 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. Business failures occurring throughout tho country during the last week number for the United States, 169 A RATE WAR Inaugurated by the .Southern Rail : roads. Dispatches of Saturday from Memphis, Tenn., stato that tho greatest rate war ever known among southern railroads is being The Passenger associa tion nuvlng virtually collapsed, in tho future it will be a cut-throat game for business among the truuk lines. The Chesapeak* and Ohio announced that be ginning August 16th it would sell round trip tickets from Paducah, Ivy., to Old Point Comfort, Va., for sl6. The rate 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, Ga., and Washington, I). G., good for three days. The Blinois Central, Mobile & Ohio, East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia and Queen and Crescent systems are expected to join in the fight. A SOUTHERN HISTORY. Confederate Veterans Moving in Hie Matter of Securing One, A New Orleans dispatch of Saturday says: George W. Moorman, udjutaut general, announces that Gen. J. B. Gor don, general commanding the Confed erate veterans, has appointed the follow ing committee as directed by the unani mous vote of tho convention of delegates assembled at New Orleans on April 8 and 9, 1892, as an historical committee and on southern school history to formulate u plan to secure a true and reliable history of the late civil war, and to select a proper and truthful history of the Uuited States to recom mend for use in the public and pri vate schools of thes r uth. The circular is signed by Lieutenant General E. Kirby Smith, chairman, Sewauce, Tenn.; Prof J. N. Stubbs, Woods Cross Roads,Glous ester couuty, Va.; Prof. Alonzo Hill, Tuscaloosa, Ala.; 1 ieutenant General S D. Lee, Starkville, Alisa.; Major General Ellison Capers, Columbia, S. C.; Colonel 11. T. Bentley, Abilene, Tex.; Professor J. W. Nicholson, Baton Rouge, La. 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 made Monday when lleidleback and lokleheimer A Co. tendered $1,000,000 in treasury notes, which was issued on account of silver purchases, aud de manded for them $1,000,000 in gold for 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 the steamir. The transaction excited 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. Mexican Bonds at Par. Advices of Monday from the city of Mexico state that for the first time in the history of the country Mexican bonds have been placed at par. The loin which is six hundred thousand pounds, was j taken by English and French capitalist* I payable in two year*. Curious Curios. Tbe great anaesthetic, chloroform, was discovered by Guthrie, 1831, and whs flrvt Anployed in surgical operations in 1848. The private in the German army is paid sßp cr month, out of which there is daily deducted 5 cents for mess expenses. In Sweden they always take a cold lunch, accompanied by rather strong spirits, before each meal. It is said to be an appetizer. Seven counties in western Texas have refused to issue a marriage certificate to a boy 15 years of age and a widow 40 years old with thirteen children. There is a sign on the entrance to a cemetery at N' rth Wales, Montgomery county, Pa., which reads “No admit tance except on business.” Labrador, a country which we always associate with Arctic rn-iwdrifts, ice bergs, etc., has 000 species of flowering plants, fifty-nine ferns and over 250 spe cies of mosses and lichens.

Blaudyte is tbe name given to the new materials made of Trinidad asphalt and waste rubber. It resists the heat of high pressure steam and lasts well in the pres ence of oil and grease. Masks are of very ancient origin. In a tomb 3000 years old at Mycenae Dr. Schlitmann found two bodies with faces covered by masks of gold. One of the masks represented the head of a lion. Dozens of carefully tabulated test 8 show that the blood of man makes a comple circulation once every fifteen to twenty-five see mds, according to the physical conditions of the subject experi mented upon. Some prominent German engineers maintain that the application of test loads to bridges has never yet led to the de tection of defects which could not have been found by calculation aud inspect ion. The natural configuration of many mountains suggests the human face, and such physiogomics cut out of the rocks on a gigantic scale are commonly regard ed by savages as obj -cts of worship. A German contemporary says that Berlin has lately been suffering from a plague of rats. They came in droves into the seven wholesale warehouses of ihe city, and were of extraordinary size. A disease peculiar to Japan is known as kaku, which is thought to be the re sult of a rice diet The disease is a slow degeneration of the nervous system and steadily increasing weakness of the pa tient. Charles Goodlidge, of Tacoma, Wash., could not get a marriage license a few days ago, because he forgot the uame of his bride. He knew her first name was Kittie, but could not remember her last name. A silver dime of 1804 is worth $4, of 1797, 1800 and 1802 $3, and of 1793 $2.50. Silver half dimes of 1802 w ill fetch S3O each, and a value from $1 to $3 attaches to these coins of the issues of 1794, 1796, 1797, 1801, 1805 and 1846 Princeton has two trees which were planted previous to the declaration of in dependence. The sycamores in the dean’s yard were planted in 1767, by order of the trustees, to commemorate the resist ance of the stamp act. The manner in which trials arc con ducted in Chinese courts would be a start ling surprise to ail who have not person ally attended a court scene. Torture is always resorted to iu order to compel the 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 Our Debt te> Flowers. Few appreciate how much of the fl ral beauty which gives interest to travel we owe to foreign introductions.
