The supplies for that country are at the rate of one missionary to 40,000 gallons of rum and 7,000 pounds of gunpowder. A French woman has got up a contest in which a prize is to be awarded to the woman who speaks the greatest number of words in an hour. There is a hitch in the proceedings, however. She has been unable to find anybody brave enough to act as referee. At Beloit, Ohio, a tramp jumped from a slowly moving freight train, seized a gold-headed cane that was standing at the door of a residence, got back on the train and went his way. He had.learned this trick while traveling on the fast trains of England. The eyes of Henry M. Stanley are described as having a marvelous effect upon the wild Africans. It is said that “he first looks as if he were going to eat them, and then when they give in and do what he wants he looks as if he had done so and were grateful for the meal.”

The Rev. Sam P. Jones, the evangelist, has decided to remove from Georgia to Kentucky. He has bought a fine stock farm near Eminence, Ky.

Levying an annual tax on every bachelor over thirty-five years Of age is talked of in the Wyoming legislature. This is not so much with a hope of receiving a great amount of revenue as it is to force the single fellows there to divulge the secret of their having wives where they came from. *1 ' The city of Ogden, Utah, owns an engine and a number of flat cars. When a street is to be graded, a track is laid in any kind of shape on the street and it is graded. The track is then taken up and laid on the street to be graded next It is claimed that the city saves many dollars in this way. It is certainly something cities generally might well consider.

A man in Birmingham, Conn, some years ago went into the corset manufactuiWng business. He received a check by his creditors squeezing him so severely that he had to skip. After a checkered career of a few years he recovered; and the other day every ong : 61 Ilia 'creditors received a check for what was owing them. Of corset was more agreeable to them than the check they gave. The most persistent search ever made was for “a man under a bed.’’ Every woman in Christendom has been looking for him ever since beds were invented, but without success. He was found however, under a bed in Chicago, recently. Another man found him. He sneezed and was thus discovered. He was on his knees when found. He was a burglar. Moral: It takes a man to catch a man —under a bed. Edwabd Bellamy did not,like tore Byron, wake one morning and find himself famous. He worked hard for years with very little recognition, and ever after ,- Looking-Backward” was published it was several years before it at tracted much attention. Mr. Bellamy is forty-two years old, a lawyer byprofession, but devotes more time to literature than law.

Dr. Arning, who inoculated a condemned criminal with leprous tissue at Honolulu in 1884 gives a detailed account of the circumstances connected with the inoculation. The man was inoculated with lepra material which was tuken directly from a child. In December, 1887, there were unmistakable symptoms of leprosy in the man. After another year,in September, 1888, the patient was the subject of fully developed leprosy. The feelings of the subject are not mentioned. Count Andkassy, who died last month, came of an ancient and noble family. He took a prominent part in the revolution of 1848 as an adherent demned to death in 1849. but he escaped and went into exile. When the right of self government was restored in Hungary in February, 1867, Andrassy was appointed premier of a new Hungarian ministry by the emperor.

If, under the circumstances, he errs, his policy certainly is entitled to be viewed with more than usual consideration.

OVERFLOW IN THE SOUTH. The Mississippi river at New Orleans on the 13th was six inches higher than the record of other years. The Water over flowed the levees and inundated many streets. Prospects are that very great damage will be done. Men are guarding the levees and using such protection as they can, both at New and above and below. Many towns above are threatened seriously. The rainfall has been general and very heavy. At Arkrn.as City hundreds of hogs and sheep were drowned, and the popple in the town aie in constant fear of a break in the levees. A break in the levee above flooded the country. Reports from the Black river valley show that the low lands, are now under water at places so deep that treetops are alone visible. Jacksonport is under water from two to four feet At Batesville the White river rose thirty-two feet in twenty-four hours, and all the lower part of town is flooded. The depot and freight houses of the Iron Mountain railread are twmfeet under water.? —From all points come reports of very high water, and the damage will be very heavy, even if the flood now resides.

NATIONAL CONGRESS.

In the Senate, on the lOth,the bill appropriating $500,000 for a building at Salt Lake City was passed. Other business transacted was merely routine. In the House a resolution was adopted providing for an investigation of immigration laws, etc. Bills were passed to take a census in Alaska; to prevent introduction of contagious diseases from one State to another. The Oklahoma territorial bill was considered, - The Senate on the 11th devoted the time to an accumonious debate, arising from the debate on Florida elections of a few days previous.

In the Senate, on the 12th, the concurrent resolution providing for an invest! ga. tion of immigration matters, the purchase of American industries by foreign capita' and the use of Bedloe’s Island,was adopted ■ ■ The resolution to exclude from the Con ' gressional Record the interpolations mad> by Mr. Call on the 20th of last month was adopted. The educational bill came up. A vote on this bill will be demanded next week. The Senate resolved to elect a Pres ident pro tempore, who shall preside when ever the Vice President is absent. The House on the 12th considered the Oklahoma territorial bill. The debate turned upon the question of prohibition. ■Mr. Cutcheon of Michigan protested against ‘the thrusting upon the Indians in Oklahoma the unspeakable, indescribable curse oi whisky shops. He protested against it in the name of humanity, in the name oi common decency, and in the name of tin plighted faith of this great Nation. Mr Funston declared that in Kansas there was not one open saloon. The Republican party had had its birth on Kansas soil, and

he hoped that the time would soon comp when that party would champion the cause of prohibition as it had championed the cause of liberty. Mr. Tarsney of Missouri said that last summer he had attended court in southwestern Kansas. One day he noticed the judge scowling and looking toward the ante room. He looked up and beheld the prosecuting attorney shaking a bottle of beer at the judge, not in an intimidating manner, but in a bewitching, entic ing manner. [Laughter.] Mr. Mills of Texas made an appeal for the personal liberty of every citizen of this free country to eat what he pleased, and go where ho pleased, and to come back when he pleased, and he opposed any proposition which would restrict that liberty. The Senate, on the 13th, passed bills allowing bridges at Pierre, S. D., and between Washington and Oregon. A number of public building bills were also passed. It is unnecessary to say that Blair blared on his educational bill.

The House granted right of way to ’several railroads through Indiana reservations. The Oklahoma bill was taken up and the amendment prohibiting the introduction of intoxicating liquors was acquired, Yeas, 134; Nays, 103. The bill was then passed. The bill contains provisions which, in substance, fixed the bouhdarics of the new Territory so as to include the Cherokee outlet, with a provision that no lands which the Indians occupy, under treaty or law, shall be included without their consent, except for judicial purposes. They extend over the new Territory the Constitution and laws of the United States and the code of Nebraska, without interference with the local Indian government’s acting under their treaty rights. Seven counties are established. The county-seats are to be at Guthrie, Oklahoma City, Norman, Lisbon or Kingfisher, Beaver, Stillwater and one more to be fixed by the Secretary of the Interior. The Cherokee outlet is declared to be public' land and open to settlement under the homestead aws, and bona fide settlers and occupants are given a preference right.

WASHINGTON.

Mr. Whitney says he is not a candidate for the Presidential nomination. Recently a Washington correspondent! sent out a letter sketching the Senatorial! bachelors and widowers. Senator Sawyer was the member described, with the addi-i tion of his picture. As a result of this> letter Sawyer has received 7,237 letters from ladies from various parts of the country, with matrimonial intent.

INLET ON THE OUTLET.

Boomers Jump Inlo the Cherokee Strip with Both Feet, On receipt of the news that a bill declaring the Cherokee strip public domain, an immediate movement was made to settlement. Arkansas City became a scene of the wildest excitement in an hour. Before the sun was up on the 14th a continuous stream of people of every description, from the poorest tramp to the speculative real estate agent, men, women and children of every nationality, has been pouring into the strip, At noon the line of white covered prairie schooners, bearing the joyous boomers, was still crawling through the town, and its end was not yet visible. The news comes from the strip that the cattle have already been stampeded, frightened at the unusual scene and have become unmanageable. The cattlemen are in great straits to know what todo with theirstock, inasmuch as the force of men at their command is as nothing before the irresistible stream of immigration.

The boomers who went in on the 14th were all sorts of people, and they came in all sorts of ways. The tramps, and there were plenty of them, came here on foot; ho speculative real estate dealer, with his iaid claimants, and there were plenty of hem, too, came by rail, and the bona fide .ettlers, who were in a great majority, ■ame in their covered farm wagons, conerted for the time being into a combina. ion dwelling and vehicle. Some of the utter, who could not even afford the luxiry of a wagon, tramped to the border, beide their horses ■ laden with household goods, and many of them bearing then children—too small to walk, and leavy to be carried. The- latter were costly supplied with tents. The tempoary objective points were the rivers . and creeks, tfzhose "banks for two weeks past lave been dotted with tents and white-

•apped wagons. The invasion came with ’a rush. No one expected it, not even the settlers themselves. The tenants of the strip.theCliefbkee live stock association and the agents, were taken entirely unawares. Chief Mayes of the Cherokee nation had placed at the disposal of the former a contingent of Indian police to drive out occasional settlers, but this was entirely too insignificant a force to oppose the invaders, and ’hey were powerless to cope wi th the stream of immigrant invasion. The government, so far as known, had taken no precautions to arrest a possible movement of the settlers, audit was not until the 14th that the military appeared upon the scene. Capt. Burbank, in command of a small force of U. S. regulars at Oklahoma City> marched his force into the strip to stay the progress of the. boomers, having been so ordered bi' telegraph. So far as known this force had no effect in retarding the movement. At least everybody that started from Arkansas City got there . Ou enter-

ing the strip, the cattle grazing there looked upon the unusual scene with alarm, turned tail and fled, a stampede ensuing which the cowboys in charge were unable to either check or control. The cattls fled five or six miles before the invaders from the North, where they were met by th e boomers, who were coming up from Oklahoma. Between these two fires, they were driven east and west. Arriving on the strip, the settlers disembarked from their ‘‘schooners’ ’ and staked their claims. . Rushes for the new territory were made also from Ko wa, Guthrie, Hamwell and Caldwell.

OVERFLOWING RIVERS.

Flood news from various points along the Mississippi River and other streams on the 12th, is that the White and Black Rivers in Arkansas are on tha rampage. Both are out of their banks and overflowing thecouiiLry on each side formiles. HeavjT rains have fallen and continue to fall along these streams and a general inundation is! looked for. The Black is a tributary of the White, and the White empties into the Arkansas just above the point where the 'atter pours its flood into the Mississippi. At Fort Smith on the Arkansas, a rise of over eighteen feet took place in twentyfour hours, and at last accounts the swell vas proceeding at the same rate. This great rise, added to the minor floods pour-, ing out of all the small tributaries below Fort Smith, will greatly add to the volume of water in ihe Mississippi below the mouth of tae Arkansas, and increase the peril to thel ower country. Later reports are more reassuring. At Memphis on the 15th the river was the highest cv§r known. Newport, Ark., is almost submerged. Oil Trough county, containing 75,000 acres of cultivated land, is now under water from six inches to twenty feet. The rise was sudden and without warning. Fences and everything movable are gone. The country south of Newport, which embraces some of the finest farms in the State, is also inundated' The losses in Ne ort are very heavy, regardless of the loss of business.

ILLINOIS CROPS,

Her Wheat Crop .Badly Injured, and Her Fruits Practically Ruined. Information from Southern and Central Illinois indicates more or less damage to the wheat crop by freezing within the past week or ten days. The warm weather last month advanced the growth to such an extent that it was in a very tender condb tion when the freeze began. The Fulz wheat is a swamp variety, and has suffered the most. It advances much more rapid! in growth in the early season than the oh golden chaff br Medltcrninean. AH IT that variety between Springfield ant Peoria is injured. On account of the p; culiar condition of the soil in that vicinity the other varieties have fared . bettm From the reports of fruit la the southerr part of the State, where the bulk of thIllinois crop is raised, it maybe safely stated that the peach crop is ruined Apples and cherries are safe, birt the pear? are injured to a considerable extent Strawberries, where properly covered am protected, are not extensively injured, bm where they were not cared for they art killed or have suffered badly.

TERRIBLE ELECTION RIOT.

Peruviac Indians Barn a Town and KillOne Hundred Person#, i A correspondent at Lima under date of! Feb. 12, received on March 14th, writes:; “The antagonism existing between Senors Rosas and Morales Bermudes, the two 1 ' candidates of the Constitutional party for, the Presidential- nomination is probably greater now than it was at the beginning,-' for the friends of both remain firm and the agitation in the provinces has already assumed grave proportions. From Puna news has been received of a collision -.between the Rositas and the Bermudistasj resulting in the loss of a number of lives - and the pillage of many houses by drunken Indians. Recently both Bermudez and! Rosas arrived at Haunta, in the province of Ayacucho, were, under most serious auspices, they started an electioneering strife, and an armed collision between the two parties was the result. It is alsoi stated that a battle has taken place in the! streets of Haunta and many on both sides! were killed, among them being the chiefs of both parties in the towm mentioned, namely, Senor Deputy of Congress, and head of the revolution, and Dr. Urbina, chief of the Rosas party. The prefect of Ayacuchd informed the government of the fight, and the leaders of the parties have been held l responsible. Luckily no other part of the republic is similarly disaffected, the general! feeling being that the time has passed to resort to such extreme and turbulent measures.

“Another account gives the following; details of the Huanta fight: Urbina,having] seen five members of his family fall at hid side during the eight hours of the combat* left with, the remaining members to seeki refuge at the Matriz oChurch. There hei found a number of women, children and old people. The priest,before the horrible; tragedy took place, exhorted the Indians toi desist, in the name of humanity, from! their horrible mode of procedure,but when! the Indians are drunk they are most f urii ous and are incapable of reasoning. Ast they drew near the church, threatening toi burn it, Dr. Urbina,under terrible emotion j knowing that he had been the only cause; for such an action on the part of the Indi! ans, and wishing to save the lives of the/ many innocent persons who had taken/ refuge in the church, resolved, without/ losing time, to sacrifice himself and termi-i nate the anguish of his friends. Leaving] the,church, he addressed his enemies ini the following strain: ‘I am Urbina, whom] you are looking for. Kill me if you like,'/ but the persons in the church are not my accomplices. Do not injure them.’ The priest, to whom he announced his determi nation, gave him his benediction and accompanied him to the door of the church, opening a wicket and bidding him goodbye, sobbing as he did so. The priest intended to return and close the church, but as he arrived at the porch he became deprived of reason. “A few moments afterwards as we passed the Plaza de Huanta, the head ot this victim of the implacable hatred and barbarity of his countrymen was to be seen at a distance. The guerrillas, in their drunken fury, not being satisfied with the murder of Dr. Urbina, continued to slaughter the inhabitants and to sack and burn the town for many hours afterward. Over one hundred lives were sacrificed to the old rancor ezisting between the families of Lazon and Urbina.”

A RAILROAD CHANGE.

A dispath of the 13th says: The Pennsylvania railroad is reaching out in more than one direction. On the 13th it surpris-i ed Wall street by unexpectedly acquringi control of the Louisville, New Albany &) Chicagorailroad, comprising seven hundred) miles of railway, hitherto popularly known! a« “the Astor railroad.’’ John Jacob Astori and his friends owned it. Up to almost the) hour of the annual meeting, the old direc-i tors are said to have known nothing of the) changes which have been arranged through! the quiet purchase of a majority of the) stock by the Pennsylvania. There was! practically no contest. The old board had) no desire to continue itself when it waa discovered that the new party held the stock. Thu road will be run. as_an-independent! property. It will not be merged with thej Pennsylvania, but a Pennsylvania general! manager wi 11 be put in charge. The Louisville & Nashville is to share in the benefits] of the new deal. The Pennsylvania is( credited with reaching out for Southern] traffic, and the Louisville, New Albany] & Chicago will bring the Louisville & Nashville and the Pennsylvania systems! into close relationship.
