BRAVES GREAT PERIL

PBOF. BMiIOTT TO FACE DANGER IK XHJE NAME OF SCIENCE.

Bepreflentatlve of Field Columbian Sin* Outlines His New Flahi Touching Exploration Of Africa for Specimens.

[London, March 29.—Professor Daniel Glraude BWktt of ithe Field Columbian oVfuseuTn^ 'Chicago, left here yesterday for Aden, on a scnenttfrc expedition into Somaillamd atcd GaUaJand. He was wccompanied by Carl Akeley, taxidermist, jtxf Ghtoago, and by Mr. Dod-SDii o'f the *Nattiura6l History Museum, London, .who want rtvft'h Dr. Donaldson SmiCh on his recan£ expedition to Lake Rudolph.

Sirtqe b/s arrival 4n 0E3ngland Professor Elliott has (been busily engaged to making preparations for his journey. I Tfcp whole of has plans have been altered stage foe arrived from America. iVRhen he left Chicago Professor EMoitt intended to proceed to Mashonaland ajvd ZamibeSi, bufe findiarg, on inquiry in

Lan4©& that it was impossible to get the anforma'tioin he wanted, he decided at tthie last moment to go into Somaliland. Shortly before he sailed the professor gave Che fallowing aacount of his plains: "The .rajpid disappearance of wild creatures in Africa made it necessary £qj- the Fdeld Columbian Museum tlo seind a representative to acquire speoijtuans, amd ifche authorities decided, on my reppeaentatfoiT, to send an expedition into.some portion of Africa offering the best field for operations, the sofene of tl$e work, as well as all the deof trfe'exp&ditaon, to be determined by myself. We do not go on a mere hunting trip, or to hunt and slaughter Animals, (but to obtain specimen® for IfcHp museum. We shall collect not omly mammals (the chief o'bjeiot of the journey), but everything pertaining to zoology—birds, reptiles and .fish—in fi=t, ma&e a general zoologioaJ collection. In thie purpose I am (taking with me C^-rl AOteLey, my c'rilef taxidermist, from GhJicago, and Mr. Dodson of the Natural History Miu&eum of L/dftdon, w"ho, you w.jjl .remembor, accomipanjed Dr. Donaldsoni Smith on bis rdcent expedition to Lake Rudolph. This is a very imPQrtant 'expedition and I do not know •th^it any scientific institution has ever sent out one oh such a scale. My commission is to igOiwhere I please and stay as lon'g as I think fit—all is left to my judgment, and I have no restriction placed upon me.

Regarding his movements, Professor Elliott remarked: On landing at Aden from the Britannia I shall cross the Berber an,d strike inland from-there. 'My movements then 1 "wsi'll depend upon tine character and quantity of the game. II shall collect at [Berber my caravan o'f camels and donkeys. In addition to my native porters and carriers, I shall take an armed •guard of Jfifty So mails in the event of trouble from hostile tribes. As an expedition it is a peaceful one, and I hope their services will not be required*. As 'the game is scattered and some species are very local it is difficult to say what route we shall follow. I shall not keep to Dr. Smith's track at air unless it happens to fall in with my plans. I shall probably go quite among districts which he did not visit. I shall, however, prcrtaibly oross the desert just behind Berber, then make for the Chibyle river, collecting as I go along. There is a goad deal of gam'e on the other side of the Chibyle river. Thence I shall go toward the Juba" river and cross it.

Afterward my movements shall depend upon circumstances. Before I return I •want to come around by the Tana river, probably striking the coast at Lamu. This, however, is all conjecture, as I can make no definite plans.

The length of the expedition will depend upon the number of specimens I obtain. As I intend to keep not only skins, but also Skeletons, it is obvious 'that when the limit of our carrying •capacity iS reached we must return. As ©oon as the caravan is well loaded land •Che journey has been a success from a eoological point of view we shall retrace our steps. 'I shall bring my specimens Ibaok to Lomdqn and make a considerable stay here before returning to Chicago, as the facilities for working out jind determining specimens are greater In London tham elsewhere. During his Journey Dr. Smith collected mostly birds. He only got -a few small mammals. I have, no .doubt we shall get more specimens of mammals, especially rhinoceros, giraffes and antelopes. I don't anticipate any difficulty with the lA'byselnl'ans, unless, indeed, come vaorOss $om« of their skirmishing parties in the G^lla country. In any case (I consider my armed foroes sufficient •for our purposes. We are not likely to ibe attacked on our marches, of course our camp will be fortified every night, so we flhall be in a much better position ithan our attacking forces. ft#y original plan was to go to Mashonaland, cross to Zambesi amd go through ithe Batonga country. I cauMJ, however, ge-t no- information of the zoological prospects tlvere, so 1 altered my plans and was going to the Masai country. On r'ndlnig that impracticable, owing -to the trouble with the natives there and the prevalence of murrain. I Anally reeolved to visit "the Somali and Galla countries.

Scfen'(,Lfic people in London have •evlnoed the greatest interest in the expedition. and Sir Willia,m Flower, Dr. CBowlder-Sharpe and 'Dr. 'Slater have u-rthered my plans in every possible

I cannot say what the expedition •#ill cost. All the expense will be defrayed by the Field Columbian Museum.

Mayor Hnichins Won.

Qttowa, HI., March 29.—The A. P. A. Bnftflnction case Sf Edward J. Hoffran, lire marshal of RocKford from 1891 to

1894. against Mayor Hutchins, elected as tlje candidate of -the A. P. A. during the "fierce* religio-politifcal fight in 1893, was last might decided in favor of the mayor by the Supreme Court. Hoffman was fire marshal when Hurtchias took office, and the latter at once appointed one of iiis own party to the po sition. The council .refused to confirm the appointment. In May, 1894, the mayor removed Hoffren for alleged cause. Hoffran at once secured an injunction restraining the mayor from interfering with his control of the department until a new man could be confirmed by the council. The injunction being made permanent, the mayor ap plied to the Appellate Court, but was defeated by the decision just rendered.

WAS A SOLDIER OF FORTUNE.

Bomantlc Career of Ensign Morgan, Who Bied a Major General. In Girardot, a little vil.lage on the eastern bank of the iMagdaleaa river, in (Colombia, Soutfh America, there died on iDecember 2d last a true soldier of fortune, Enrique Morgan, a major general •in the Colombian army, but a native of West Virginia, says the New Tork Herald.

During the war of secession in the United States he had been a favorite "orderly" with the Confederate General Loring—one-armed Loririg, as he was called—and when the latter subsequently went to EgyrA Morgan foliowed him there and became a captain in the khedive's ar% y. Tiring of military inaction, lh.e joined a party of Greek surveyors in the Souidan, with whom 'he learned something of practical engineering, but contracting the smallpox and supposed to be dying he was abandoned by his companions. Upon his recovery he found that the natives had robbed him of everything, and Ihe became a "tramp" in Northern Africa and southern Europe. Too proud to apply to diplomatic or consular officials for assistance, 'he walked to the coast, worked his way across the Mediterranean sea arid thence through Italy aind France to the port of St. Nazaire. 'Seeing a ship advertised to sail for America he offered to work his passage across the Atlantic, which offer was accepted. The vessel landed him penniless in 'Barranquilla, Colombia, where he enlisted as a soldier. By dint of hard •work and close attention to his duties he was successfully prooted through all the grades of corporal, sergeant, lieutenant, captain, major and colonel and chief of engineers. In this capacity he constructed, with 'tlhe labor of troupes, the greater part of the railway between Girardot and Juntas de Apulo, as well as the difficult cart road through the cordillers of Quindio. During the revolution of 1885 he captured t'he important place of Tunja, with its extensive armory, fir which service he was made a •major general. To a very great degree he possessed Ohe confidence of the government. He took no part in its political affairs, and this lack of party affiliation, his unswerving loyalty and his well known disposition to obey all orders were qualities which endeared him to his superiors.

OFF FOR NEW YORK.

Gen. Harrison Dines With His Children Before Xeavinsr. Indianapolis, March 29.—Today was made the occasion of an auspicious event at the home cif ex-President Harrison in 'this city. It was the last Sunday prior to his marriage with Mrs. 'Dlmmick and he celebrated the occasion 'by giving a dinner to 'his son Russell Harrison and his wife, his daughter Mrs. MoKee and the latter's two children. It was a faimily affair and 'was considered as a Significant announce.ment that whatever difference may have existed between the ex-president and his children on account of his approaching nu'ptials, 'have at last been smoothed over. That this is the case is evidenced by a statement said to have been made by Russell Harrison today in which he assured his friends that only the most amicable relations existed between the children and father.

General Harrison q.nd 'his retinue .will leave this city on Tuesday for New York to prepare for the marriage. Mrs. tMcKee. a.nd children and Russell Harrison and the latter's wife, will accompany him.

PEST HOUSE RIOT.

Snbnrb of Kansas City Tears a New Honse Down. Kansas City, Mo., March 29.—The health officers of this city experienced a .riot today at Grandview, a suburb lying west of the city. Yesterday they lea.sed a tract of land near Grandview upon 'which to build a pest house to shelter two smallpox patients whom they have on their hands. This morning several wagon loads of lumber and a big force of carpenters were sent out to begin the work. Meantime a mob of 200 people collected. They tore down the frame work which was erected. Many of the men were armed with guns. They were urged on by a number of women. The carpenters and teamsters were ordered back to the city and they went at once. Tonight the health authorities are looking for another site for their pest house.

BASE BALL GOSSIP.

TEBRE HAUTE IS TO BE GIVEN THE DOUBLE CROSS.

Frozen Out of the Newly Organized Interstate League—Corbttt May Umpire Saturday's Game.

J. W. Gunnels, 3ian«a®er of the Toledo base ball clufb. is evidently trying to cut his own thiioa/t. He'turned one trump by the seheroe whioh resulted in the dismemb^roaent ..:0f ,• the Michigan League, but he Js ^vidently trying to get up a "jack,'.' for nowr the story comes from the Ohio town. Chat his pet plan for the organization, of the original Interstate League is on again. There can be lititle doubt bu/t the newg was secured from Mr. Gunnels. The "fains, as is a2so Mianajger Shtigert, are at a loss to understand what the publisher of the matrimonial journal is trying to do. By the split fn the Michigan League the Gunnels-iMeyers faction secured the best towns in the St&te for the interstate circuit, but it would appear here is to be more shi.fing.

The Toledo dispatch ea-id" -the new league was to'be composed of Ft. Wayne, Jackson iand Saginaw, Mich., Toledo and Youngdiowns O., Wheeling, W.Va., and Washing ton-dnd New Castle, Pa. If this- .be true, &hd there is every evidence of truth in the dispatdh, Terre Haute-is out Of it. iGunnels wrote here some itime ago to determine whether or not this Gfty would enter a circuit which would include the-West Virginia and Pennsylvania towns arid was told positively it would not. At he Jackson meeting a president was etedted to carry on the affa^ps of the league. This president's name is not Gunnels and until official: notice"!s 'givieihby that official Maria&er Shugart will pay no attenition to 'what'-the Toledo magnate says. HCwever, Gunnels may know what ihe Is talki'hg

Wntkins Wants# a "KtcklnR" Captain. The Indianapolis Journal has the following to say of Stewart, the star second baseman of the Western League: Asa Stewart is ail that he ever was and more. He covers a wonderful lot of ground, and the champions will have a much faster infield than 'last season. Double Plays -will 'be frequent if the chances given as yesterday's prac-tice-showed. iS'tewart is trained down finer Ithan ever before, although his fac© look's fuller. Hogriever says he never saw his old coaching partner '2% fit as he is today. The cha-fiplons will have a cap'tain such as t'hey never had before when .Stewart'takes hold. Speaking of captains, what Manager Watkins wants is one who will, when it is necessary, make a gctod sfiff "kick" for ihis team based on good, sound reasons, and then go 'back to his place.

Will Ask Corbett to Umpire. When James J. Corbett comes to Terre Haute next Saturday it wiH be -to* receive an invitation to officiate as umpire in the first game of baseball of the season. Corbett ie a great ball fan, he knows the gaime from beginning to end and will'ibe urged to start the sea son off right. The fans will insure him •protection from personal violence, both at the hands of kicking players and from an infuriated populace.

THE TRUNK MYSTERY.

The Body Identified as That of J. P. Chazal. Chicago, March 29.—After an examination today art the county morgue of the body found in the mysterious box sold to Austin parties by a warehouse conoern, Henry Devere and* Bas Marcel, two Frenchmen, identified it as that of their friend Joas Prosper Chazal, who disappeared from iSalt Lake City in February, 1893. The coroner, however, is not satisfied that the identification is complete, and until more convincing evidence arises and no one el«e claims the body he will not give it up. The Frenchmeh said the body resembled their friend Chazal, the formation of the dead man's head resembling his, the also like Ohazal's. They also asserted were the feet, unusually large, were Chazl wore a truss, and one was found on the dead man. The stature amd hair, they asesrted, tallied with that of Chazal.

The coroner said the two men first said Chazal'-s teeth were filled wi't'h steel, or some other metal, but the dead man had no filling in his teeth.

Chazal's friends say he -lived with a French woman named Rolande, now in Paris, in a small 'tiwo-story house in Franklin avenue, Salt Lake City.

TO CAPTURE TEXAS.

The Coalition of Populists and Republicans May Do It. Austin, Tex., March 29.—There is a movement on foot between Uhe Populists and Republicans .by which they hope to capture the state from Democratic ruling this year. Tihe proposition comes from Republicans, according iho a certain well known Populist leader, who made the proposed fusion known today The proposition is that the Populists place Republican presidential Electors on their ticket this year and in return the Republicans will put the Populist state candidate for state officers on their ticket, it is said.

BERTHELOT A SCAPEGOAT.

Bourgeois is the Tail Minister of the French Cabinet. London, March 30.—A Paris dispatch to the Daily News asks: "Are we to have a tail twisting foreign minister in. the person of M. Bourgeois? It almost appears so. The colonials are already rejoicing at the prospect of fun. iM, •Berthelot's only fault is the stain of the original sin inherited from has predecessors. The fatal mistake of French policy has been the perpetual nagging of England."

A dispatch to the Chronicle from Paris says: "M. iBeikh-elot, in an interview, admitted that he had resigned on account of differ e.n:05'3 with Ms colleagues On foreign policy, but he declines to specify. It is generally admitted that although M. BerthelOt was made a scapegoat for •the recent menacing note to England, "M. Bourgeois was the real author." "It is alleged t'hat bofh Baron De Courcel and Russia objected strongly to tihe policy of sending meaningless ultimatums, which oniy had the effect o'f plaicing France in a ridiculous position.

The Moderates will try to upset the cabinet. Nobody can foretell the issue of today's debate. The opposition will make a strong aftiack, but among the government, for the rebuff which France has. sustained in Egypt at the hands of England, who until recently was completely isolated in Europe. "M. Bourgeois

today

(Sunday) has

been busy conferring with \he leaders of the coJonial party and others for support. He hopes to be abie to tide over the crisis."

A dispatch to the Chronicle from Berlin says: "Pending the result of M. Bourgeois appearance before the chamber of deputies'in his new position, the papers here speak with reserve. But no uneasiness is visible at the crisis, which is unlikely to affect European peace."

The One-Price Merchant Triors and Clothiers.

There is aright way to economize and a wrong way, too. If you have but little money at your disposal you should spend it where you will reap the greatest benefit. When you buy a suit of clothes you want the best quality and style which can be had for the amount of money you have to spend.

$7.50 Sack Suits

In black cheviot, medium and light Scotch mixture-guaranteed every thread wool--whicn we have proved by the absolute test of boiling in chemicals. It has taken hard thinking and planning to make such suits as these. They are suits to judge this clothing store bythe clothing store where all-wool means that one hundred per cent of the fabric was once worn by sheep.
