Mcllwralth. the Colonial Treasurer of Queensland, complaining of this joint control, and suggesting that Sir W. MacGregor. administrator of British New Guinea, should also have jurisdiction over the New Hebrides. Sir T. Mcllwralth said in reply that the only solution lay in the annexation of the islands by Great Britain or in the establishment of a protectorate over them. There is a British high commissioner of the Western Pacific who has jurisdiction to settle disputes between British subjects living in these islands and others. The Anglo-French control was fixed by a convention between Great Britain and France on Oct. 24. 1SS7. in which it was agreed that the protection of persons and property in the New Hebrides should be secured by means of a mixed commission composed of naval officers belonging to the English and French naval stations in the Pacific.

GREAT SAHARA DESERT

.OTES OF A SUMMER VISIT TO THE WASTES OF SAND AND IlOCIv. A Panorama of Arid Desolation Temperature and Vegetation Dead Lake and Perpetual Mirage. Philadelphia Ledger. , As the Iron horse hurries through the final break in the Atlas mountains all eyes are instinctively turned in the -direction of the desert. The poetry of travel is now presumably to be turned into prose, the soft and smiling picture of nature Into that hard ruggedness which speaks of a landscape not yet finished. And yet the first view of the desert is that of one of its oases, and one which Is very nearly the fairest of them all, for it receives the coolness of the north as well as the heat from the south, and the stream that carries the luxury of growth Into its deeper recesses has not yet been sapped of Its vitality by a continuous summer heat. Long before we reach the fine gardens of Mount Kantara we are In the desert. Giant rocks, burned brown and red under the glow of the southern sun, stand out in wild pinnacles from the gently undulating surface, their rugged sides burled In the sand which they themselves have made. This is not the desert that Is ordinarily pictured In the mind that flat, endless expanse which fades off unmoved and unbroken to the limits of vision but it Is the desert, nevertheless, just as much as the mountain snows of the far North are a part of the great Arctic "sea of ice." Beyond, however, is the great plain Itself, Its swelling undulations hardly relieving to the ej'e the appearance of absolute flatness which the picture presents. The truth is that the Sahara has a double aspect, that of the flat and sandy plains and that of the rocky ridge or mountain, the so-called Hammada, It is the latter that is more particularly dreaded by the caravans, for among their wind-swept crags there are no, or but few, oases, and only the blowing sands and a relentless sun are the companions of the footsore pilgrim. In the Hat desert, at least, where the sand is not too deep, traveling is moderately easy, for over long distances the surface has become coated into a hard, calcareous crust a solid basement rock, one may call it. We saw no sand dunes of any magnitude, those along the southern face of the great Chott Melghigh.. about twenty feet in height, being the highest. But I was informed by competent authority at Biskra that beyond Tuggurt, on our route, they rise to the prodigious height of 1,200 to 1.400 feet. This is certainly an Imposing monument to the power of the wind one that speaks far more eloquently, even, than the wind-swept sands of coral isiands. FEATURES OF THE DESERT. It has become custom in certain book quarters of late to say that the Sahara is not as fiat as it is commonly assumed to be, and that It is almost everywhere torn into ridges and rents. That is, however, an imperfect statement of the truth. The fiat desert is almost interminably flat for days or weeks cf travel, with hardly a rise of more than a few feet for mile after mile of perspective. All around Is the same expanse; in vain the eye searches for some special object to give it relief; it does not exist, unjess It be the far-off tufts of an approaching oasis. 1 am not sure that these endless sands aro truly imposing. Sometimes they certainly are, but they present most exquisite pictures in the varying lights of the morning and evening sun. It is then that they seem to constitute a world of their own, speaking in color that belongs to them alone. We were not to any extent tioubled by their presence, either as impediments to travel or as freely floating discomforts in the atmosphere. Only as we approached Mreir, at the close of a hard day's journey of sixty-four miles, did we come in disagreeable conflict with them. Our horses had more than their share in the second half of the day's work; for the better part of four miles wo had been dragged through deep sand, and finally the courage of the poor animals had spent itself. We were stuck fast in the Sahara sands at a point some seventy feet below sea level. Coaxing and urging had little effect, and it was not until we ourselves took a long hand in pushing and pulling that we succeeded in extricating ourselves. Let it not for a moment be assumed that the Sahara, even in the parts that do not belong to the region of the oases, is everywhere destitute of growing vegetation. Far from this is really the case. Along the entire length of our Journey a generous supply of terebinth bushes, one to two or three feet in height, covered most of the sand elevations, and with them was a form of sickly green saloolaecious plant, the exact nature of which I was unable to discover. And if we can fully believe a war illustration that has recently appeared from the pencil of a staff correspondent, the same feature must be a characteristic of the Sahara about Timbuctoo as well. There are, Indeed, a number of spots where the vegetation is even more luxuriant if a scattering of plants can in any sense be called luxuriant comprising a number of dry herbs, such as the rose of Jericho, which hardly rises a few inches above the surface, and again there are large areas where the vegetation has been completely stamped out, or where it has been burled beneath its canopy of sand. It is the oasis that is the redeeming pearl of the desert. No poetic temperament is needed to prepare one for the enjoyments of its coming. PYom miles of distance the eye fastens itself upon the tree tops; the dark green is a break in the landscape, and. liko the black shadow of clouds, it seems to go and come, the gentle undulations of. the desert throwing It how and again out of sight. We had penetrated but a moderate distance into the desert, but the coming of the oasis was a relief that can hardly be describes! those dene groves of date palms and the circulating streams of water. What must, indeed, the oasis b3 to those who have wearily plodded its sands for weeks at a time. When we returnenl to Biskra after our southerly journey the sun had just set behind the palm forest, illuminating the sky with that soft African yellow, which has been matched only by the brush of Edward Frere. The tall tree trunks rose against this In specter shadows of brown, silent monoliths, rising as if from a silent grave. An Arab group appeared here and there, the flowing waters and the mosque asking each to his special devotiens. THE TEMPERATURE. The heat of the desert is an unquestionable reality, and yet, perhaps. In the month cf our travel the hottest of. the North African months, it was not so dreadful as might have been assumed. It Is true that the mercury, whether by night or by day, felt little disposed to leave the region of the ninety-eights, unless it was in the direction of an upward journey. During the hours of midday It stubbornly clung to the division line of 110 degrees, passing even beyond it slightly (although perhaps not in he most perfect shade); at Biskra, during our brief absence, it stood at lh degrees. In traveling, however, we were subjected to even a much higher temperature, as, at rapidly recurring intervals, the heated reflections from the burning sands were, as It seemed, blown bodily into us. It was then that we remarked: "This is like an oven." And in truth is was very much so. I was surprised to. find that there was a difference of only twenty degrees between the heat of the open sun (132 degrees) and that of the shade; the temperature of the sunny sands was at its highest lidegrces. ! The excessive dryness made the heat, per- ! haps on the whole, more bearable than if the atmosphere had been in a measure charged with humidity at least such Is a general belief, and I am not sure but It 13 well founded. Certain It is that excessive perspiration has been largely reduoed thereby. On the other hand, this extremely dry heat brings to many a partly suffocating feeling a feeling as though the atmosphere was lacking In the proper amount or quality of oxygen. The parched palate asks for a molstener and for repeated lotions in decreasing periods cf time. Still the whole I "both bearable and supportable, and the foreienfrs who have located at B'skra eeem to have ! acclimated themselves In a comparatively short space of time. It would be doing the Sahara an Injustice to allow It to pass wlthov- rerrrlng to its great salt lake, the Chott Melghigh. When we first saw it from a distance of a few miles it, broke upon the landscape with a darrling whiteness. The palt was on the surface, and the eye failed ta distinguish the presence of water. . It was like a vast field of Immaculate Ice thrown Into the sands, over which hung the Images that were thrust Into the sky by the rarely failing mirage. This Is the largest snitp?n of the Sahara, and it occupies a position depressed considerably below the level of the

New York Sun. A Paris telegram reports that the Princess of Chimay and Craman, wife of Prince Joseph of Chimay and Caraman, Belgium, h;ts eloped with a Hungarian gypsy musician, who was accustomed to play in tho Paris restaurants. Prince Joseph will bring suit against his wife for divorce in the lirussels courts. The Princess was formerly Miss Clara Ward, and was born in Detroit, .Mich. Sh.c was married to Prince Joseph in Paris in lSirt), and is the mother of two children. Gosspis of tWD continents will doubtless look knowing and air the good old phrase, "I told you so," upon reading the news of Clara Ward's last escapade. She is not yet twenty-four years old, and from the time she was seventeen she has cut 'a. swath that Indicates a power of elbow and Impulse not readily to be exhausted. The wonder of the American colonies in Europe at tho Infinite variety of her girlhood changed to astonishment when she married Prince Joseph Chimay, fourteen years her elder, but their lnterst In her meteoric llight was not allowed to lag after the nuptials. The Princess Chlmay's brother worked Into a notoriety which aided inkeeping the famliy traits before the public, and he wound up by eloping, as his sister now has done. Their mother, in their infancy, had startled the sober-minded of Michigan by offering for $50,0u0 tho stocks and shares which afterward realized $9,000,000 that had belonged to her husband, who had dropped dead in the street. The man whose end was so sudden was eccentric all his life, and his eccentricities had furnished conversational topics to his Wolverine neighbors In as great plenty as his children subsequently afforded themes to Europeans. He was Capt. Eben B. Ward, a Canadian, who had come over to Michigan without money. He started sailing on the great lakes in 1836. In two years he took to shipbuilding, and in course of time he came to be called the king of the lake ship owners. Ke built two boats a year they were side-wheel steamers and by 1S48 had laid the foundations of a fortune. He settled In Detroit in that year, and bought up Michigan pine lands and later on built iron works In Wyandotte and in Chicago and Milwaukee. Among his odd leanings was a inclination toward spiritualism, so strong that the mediums, according to report, made a victim of him. In the early seventies his fortune was estimated at $12,000,000 to $15.000.000, and he was one of the biggest men of Michigan, but ho would never hold office, although he could probably have had any oHice in the State. He was unlettered, but was of indomitable energy and will. He was caught short in the panic of '73, carrying too many enterprises on too small a cash reserve, and some of his property was sacriiiced to cary him through, the result being a shrinkage of several millions that had not been retrieved, when in 1S75 he fell dead. . a His first wife, by whom he had seven children, had died long before him, and he had, at the age of sixty-one, six years before his end, married a woman of twentyeight who became the mother to two children, Clara and her brother. Py the terms of her husband's will Mrs. Ward received all his valuable holdings, but his other relatives, who got nothing, instituted a most vigorous contest, and she was obliged to defend lawsuits that extended over nineteen years. She was victorious, however, and. a very wealthy woman, she married Alexander Cameron, another Canadian. Her daughter Clara, then Princess Chimay. celebrated the partition of the estate and also her own twenty-flrst birthday In February 1S94. by a sTand dinner at her home in Paris. The young girl was very beautiful, as well as of great gayety of spirit. Tho title of Princess Chimay was not In her keeping alone, another Princess Chimay having become the wife of the Due de Bouffrement of scandalous memory, whose name was connected with some of the most sensational times of the Third Empire and who died a few years ago. The Princess Clara's brother, young Ward, four or five years ago became notorious In a scandal, and when his wife sued for divorce he tossed over to her lawyer a package of papers representing property from which she has received $16.ou annual income. He afterward eloped with her maid and went to Paris to Jive. When Prince Faldwin. the heir to the Belgian throne, died In a mysteriously way the name Chimay was connected vv ith the occurrence in the gossip of the day. vj hlch had it that the Belgian heir whose promgacy was notorious, had declared when nineteen years old that he vvould win the Princess Chimay. of whom bi bad become InLmoreA at Srft.

Kansas newspapers resent in forcible language the imputation that the State has lost prestige with Eastern investors as a result of the rreent election, and ascribe any change in the sentiment to a conspiracy In which the Eastern press is playing a prominent part. This is pure folly. The people of Kansas, if they find that they have Injured their chances cf procuring money to make nee-led improvements on their farms and in their towns, can lay the blame to the rabid newspaper press of their own fetate. tor months these sheets have reveled In casting oiprohrlum upon all men or corporation worthy of credit, and have created a sentiment In tho Eat against the funher risk of money in such a community. Whether these papers reflected the correct views of the people among which they circulated, we have no means of knowing, but. Judging from the trend of the recent election, it is safe to fay that they Judged pretty accurately the temper of their readers. At any rate, the East has begun to realize that Kansas Is not friendly to invested capital; that it has changed Its legislative, executive and Judicial machinery to such an extent that a new Idea in law has been given precedence where capital Is concerned. The result has been lust about what mlsht have been expected. Tte poul who

They withdrew their investments as far as possible, and sedulously; avoided any renewal in that section. Whether there is Justification for this; course is neither here nor there. The Jiald fact remains that it has not benefited tho. people of Kansas. Perhaps they consider their policy to bo for thto best. In that, case they cannot blame other people fordiffering1 with' them. Investors are not so easly influenced as to act on Impulse. The fear which capital feels has been inspired, by something more than the last election. The determined policy which the State hasenforced, on certain lines has been carefully observed and studied, and the- conclusion, arrived at is one of personal Interest. Wo aro sure that no one Is unpatriotic enouph to wish Kansas ill. but to po outside of p'aln causes and attribute her nils- -fortunes to a conspiracy havlnp Its center in the East is the height of foolishness. There is no politics in the matter at all. unless we except the sentiments which pass current in the State Itself for politicsNo one Is trying: to ruin Kansas, but we very much fear that her citizens are pursuing a wrong courv If they wish to add. to her reputation among- people who miRht. otherwise be of incalculable benelit in developing her resources. Kansas people should consider this phase of the question. No force is powerful enough to keep money out of the State if investors want to put it there, but, on the.' other hand, there is no power which can. compel Investments there If people do not. feel like risking their capital in such hands. Anecdote of Senator Cnrter. Washington Post. Senator Carter, of Montana, might stand . a good show for Secretary of the Interior or Postmaster-general were it not for the fact that Montana has become a Populist State, and to take him out of the Senateat this time would result in the loss cf a . Republican vote in that body next session. None can be spared, and no Senator will be taken for the Cabinet whose place cannot certainly be filled by some one wholly in accord with the administration. When Senator Carter was Commissioner of the General Iand Office he made a host, of friends among the employes of the Interior Department, many of whom still remain in office. One of these yesterday related a little Incident showing Carter's, kindness of heart. It was undr the Harrison administration, with which Carter had no little influence, that a Democrat, a,' very worthy man, residing In Maryland, and having a large family to support, had. been turned out of office to make room for a Republican. A gentleman in the Postoffice Department, who had at one tlm done a personal favor for Carter, chanced to be a neighbor of the man turned out of office. After some time the man and his family became actually destitute. The neighbor wrote a letter to Senator Carter apprising him of the facts, and appealing to him to have the man re-appointed. Carter wrote to the Secretary of the Navy a strong, letter urging that this be done and sent it to the friend who had Interested himself in the matter. He gave it to the discharged employe and told him to present It in person. "It won't do any good." said the man. resignedly. "Representative has al ready been to the Secretary fcr me and he was refused." However, he presented the letter. Tha next day he came to his friend In the Postoffice Department with tears In his eyes and joy in his heart. "Who is this friend of yours, this mart Carter?" ho asked. "When I went to the Department and presented his letter the people just seemed to wake up, and there was thj greatest scurrying around and sending for people you ever saw. And I have got my place back. And If you want , to see a happy home Just you go down to my house and see my wife and children. And I want you to tell Mr. Carter that there Is food on the table to-night In abundance, and a good warm lire, and some other little comforts that wouldn't have been there but for hlrn.
