Thus ended the Zoalima power, which for more than seven generations had influenced the rade and politics of extensive districts and had commanded the principal highways to the coast. Another very important achievement of this army is the destruction of the Hooboo P°wer an irresponsible organization which for thirty years has been a source of annoynoyance and loss to caravans passing from the interior to the coast. Samuder gave orders to attack them in their moun

Their chief, Abal, was captured and decapitated and his amis and legs, severed from the trunk, were sent to the various countries where inhabitants had suffered from his predatory and murderous pro* eedtn The Hooboos are described as renega Faulahs in rebellion against a king of Timbba.

THE
the
Mohanxmedaii Warfare Against Predatory Pagans In Africa. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 24.— Secretary of State Bayard is in receipt of a dispatch' from Sierra Leone, giving an account of the movements of an army of 100,000 men in the interior of Africa. This dispatch is dated July 14 last, and was sent by United States Consul Lewis. Mr. Lewis says: "I have the honor to bring to the notice of the department of state the fact of an extraordinary movement among the Mohammedans of the Nigritian regiojis extending from Timbuctoo to the west coast. It appears that in 1880 a mandingo named Samuder, of extraordinary intelligence and energy, conceived the idea .that he was called of God to wage a war for the suppression of Paganism and the opening of the roads to the coast, which in certain districts have been for generations subjected to excessive blackmail and to the plundering of vagabond tribes. During the last five years he has collected an army consisting of f®ot and horse of about 700,000. Mohammedan youth, wherever he goes, flock to his standard, anxious not to secure the reward in the hereafter promised to those who fight for their religion, but to carry off the rich spoils of the time, which these expeditions that battle for the faith are sure to win. It is said that Samuder's army is divided into three portions, one opiirntiog near the headwaters of the Niger. This portion recently drove certain Frtoch troops from the gold regions of Bourse, of which they had takcu possession, and are. now besieging Bammako, a large town on the Niger, occupied about three years ago_ by the Freuch, who have erected fortifications there. Another portion of the army is operating in the restiotis east of Siberia, and by suppressing the disturbing element, unfettering trade and introducing a knowledge of religion and letters, it is, in one st-use, opening the way for negro emigrantsof intelligence and energy from America to push out from the AfricaAmerican republic to the healthy and fertile regions of'aheinterior. In another sense, it is forestalling the whple region for Mohammedanism and making it difficult, if not impossible, if indeed it is desirable, to convert that country to the faith imported from America by the immigrants. The third portion of the army is approaching the coast a few miles north-west of Sierre Leone. It has secured the submission by force, or voluntary surrender, of all the the tribes o: the way for 500 miles back. .ie largest and most important pagan kingdom on this side of the Niger was SooUma, of which Talaba, a large commercial jity, was the capital. For the last sixty yo-ars the Faulab Mohammedans have been trying by diplomacy and by arms to subdue this city to the faith, but it has always successfully resisted both diplomatists and warriors. Last year Samuder's army, in overwhelming numbers, surrounded it and called upon the king to surrender and profess

In the south part of the city the Alcott dam was swept away which, together wiUi the bacK-set from the river, submerged most of the celery fields. In the north part of the ci' many acres ot celery were inundated is estimated that three-fourths of the first

ONE OF GRANT'S FRIENDS.
The General's Touching Letter on Paying Part of an Unsolicited Loan. LANSINGBURG, N. Y., August 24.—Referring to a statement made in the newspapers that of about $1,500 loaned to General Grant by U. Wood, of this place, he had received only $1,000, Mr. Wood says: "During the week of the Grant & Ward failure I sent the general $500 on account of my share due for his services in 1861-5 and tendered him a loan of $1,000 for one year without interest or security, with privilege of renewal on the same terms. He answered me under date of May 12, 1884, thanking me formy offer, saying that he did not have enough money to pay one month's servant hire, or for a room were he to leave his house, and stating that the letter was an acknowledgment for $500 payable oneyear from date. I then sent him $1,000, to which' he replied, on May 19, saying that I had conferred an obligation "he could never repay. The money he knew he could repay, but, being caught without friends, it became a serious question what to do. He said I had relieved that anxiety, as every preparation had been made to reduce expenses to a minimum. Mr. Grant had offered the Long Branch cottage for sale, and his home in New York was to go in the fall unless prospects brightened,", "When was a payment made?" "In January, four months before the note was due, I received a check for $1,000 from the general. I wrote to him that I accepted it as payment in full. The letter the general wrote was a touching one, and was as follows:
MY DEAB MB. WOOD:—I take great pleasure in inclosing to yon the oheck, which yon will finfi with this. I wish to state to you, also, how great was the relief afforded by your timely loan. At the time of the failure of Grant & Ward I had not $100 in my pocket. I had paid my bills for the previous month with oheoks on the firm. Most of these were not presented until after the failure. Your check enabled me to meet the second call, and gave me something too upon until another turn could be made. Mrs. Grant was fortunate enough to own a couple of small houses in Washington, one of which she sold for the sum of $6,500, since which time we have been comfortable in means to live upon, but with nothing to pay past debts. 1 return you, with the greatest pleasure, $1,000 of the^ $1,500 which you so kindly, and without solicitation or claim upon you, sent m8. It affords me greater pleasure from the fact that I have earned this by my own work. I hope, in the near future, to send you the other $500. With my best wishes to you and yours, I .am very truly, U.S. GBAHT.

AN INSULT TO LOYAL MEN.
Memorial Soliciting Funds for a Monument to a Traducer of Grant. Washington Special.
One of the incidents connected with the comment made by the press of the south upon the death of General Grant, will be remembered, was the sudden and almost tragical death of Captain Randolph A. Shotwell, of North Carolina. Shotwell, it will be remembered, was indebted to General Grant for his life and liberty, and the way he had of showing his gratitude was by writing a most brutal editorial in his paper, reviewing in the most 'heartless anu untruthful manner the military and- civil record of the dead c6mmander and hero. As, it seemed, a stroke of retributive justice. Shotwell fell dead .of apoplexy soon after his. article was printed, adding to the death of General Grant a most marked example of providential dealing with his traducers. Shotwell's death followed that of his benefactor but a few days.
Scarcely before the tears are dried from the eyes of the mourners over the death of the dead hero a memorial reaches Washington from Berne, N. C., signed by "the leading citizens of the place," lauding to the skies the character and life of the deceased Shotwell and calling upon the people "who honor manly devotion to duty, unswerving rectitude of purpose, heroic martyrdom, scorn of truckling obsequiousness and faithfulness in the^ discharge of public trust" to subscribe liberally to the erection of a monument to his memory. The memorial is being circulated to catch subscriptions from people who indorsed Shotwell's vile attack upon General Grant, but it meets with no sympathy here. It is considered an insult to patriotic people.
A DUEL~PREVENTED.
Navy Lieutenant Called to Account for Slandering General Grant, BAR HABBOB, Me., August 24.—A sensational story has just leaked out here, the Bubstanee of which is as follows While a prominent politician of New York City, a personal frind of General Grant, was visiting the flagship Tennessee with a party of ladies, a certain lieutenant on board, who was still wearing the mourning crape upon his arm, indulged in slanderous remarks against General Grant's character and career, The politician became very angry and on his return to shore at once sent the slanderer a challenge to fight a duel The latter declined on the ground that dueling Is in violation of navy regulations. The irate gentleman then notified the officer that he would shoot him on sight unless he accepted the challenge.
The lieutenant finally accepted, but while the preliminaries were being made the admiral heard rumors of the affair, and declined to permit the lieutenant to go ashore, thus frustrating the duel for the present at least.

A CHILD PERFORMER ILLtREATED.

CHICAGO, HI., August 24.—A frail girl, named Mercedes Cosuso, otherwise the Cuban wonder, who for the past week has been performing nightly at a variety theater on State street, was jt the Desplaines street pot*i-v station yesterday. The child was made to go through series of movements an the trapeze, and her diminutive stature and the agility and skill with which she executed some difficult feats made her a desirable attraction. Her age is about 12, though she looks fully two years younger. After her performance at the theater, recently, the little girl met with a

She was at rehearsal and failed in a difficult act that was being taught her by Belletta Du Crow, a female trapeze performer. The child said that this woman took her from her parents who worked on a plantation in Cuba, promising she would educated the little mucedes. The woman and her husband, Daniel Du Crow, also a performer, instead of educating the child at school, taught her to perform on the stage and used her as their principal attraction. This gentleman reported the facts to the humane society. The child was found to be in a pitiable state. Her right hip was swollen to double its natural size and it seemed as if the little one was to be crippled for ever. This malformation she explained was the result of a fall she met with while practicing one day. After that she became strangely timed and the woman was in the habit of beating her cruelly to get her to go on the stage. The Du Crow's have been arrested and will be prosecuted for cruelty to children.

THE WALKUP CASE*
The Wife Arrested—Their WeddlngWho They Were in Society, EMPORIA, Kan., August 24.—The autopsy in the Walkup poisoning case' developed evidence of the use of corrosive poisons. The coroner's inquest continued until 6:30 Saturday, when adjournment was taken until Monday. Mrs. Walkup was'ordered taken into custody. The evidence before the coroner's jury elicited nothing more than that deceased's wife had purchased arsenic and other poisons at two or three drug stores that sne had taken exclusive charge of the sick man during his illness up to Friday, when' suspicions of friends were aroused, and a daughter of the deceased was placed in her stead.

MAKING NAILS
Fifteen Feeders Went to Work VesteiUay Morning—They Si*n a Contract to Work Three Months—The Company's
Side of the Situation. Fifteen nail machines were started at the nail works yesterday morning in charge of as many feeders. The company confidently expect more feeders to apply for positions within the next few days, so an Express reporter was informed. A gentleman connected with the works gives the following as the company's side of the situation: "For years," said he, "labor east of the mountains ha$ been cheaper than west. That alone did not make much difference, as the west had the a^ vantage of low freights. Lately freighw east of the mountains have been reduced on an average from 12 to 20 cents. This is to Chicago as a distribating point. The reduction of freight necessitated an equalizing of matters by a reduction of labor west of the mountains. On the 28th of May the manufacturers resented a reduced card to the nailers. reduction in wages

In the meantime the nailers, iron their absSlate knowledge of affairs, see in the feeder movement certain failure, and it is only the exaggerated reports from "some place else" that give any color whatever to the movement In Mingo, Terre Haute, Indiana, Ashland, Ky., and other places where an attempt was to be made to operate the machines with feeders at the reduced price, the feeders organized for the protection of their own business,-for what inducement could there be for them to become nailers if then was nothing more in it than there has been in feeding?
My object, however, in making -these statements is simply to give a correct idea of the situation so far as the operation of machines by feeders is concerned, and when I state there is less than 100 machines working and that they do not pro* duce more than one-fourth their capacity as judged from the yield when in the hands of nailers. I state a fact that cannot be contradicted. Less than onethirtieth of the machines working and these producing less than one-fourth the ordinary yield, is a virtual declaration of the failure of the movement

I regard the attempt to man thi nail machines with feeders as a signal failure, due to the fact that many of the feeders will not and others cannot take the nailers' places. Capable men are not generally desirous of reducing the price of labor, and in this effort they are upheld by honest workingmen everywhere.
Th. machines now in operation, as can readily be Sken from the figures given, do not produce nails sufficient to even encourage the manufacturers, but while hey are waiting fer the price of nails to tiflen up, as they have often done when
