' . lThe Secretary f of State was asked what recommendation he would make in hie annual report, and said that The Code commission bad In Its recommen cation covered, most of the changes u hkh he desired to be made In the corporation laws and In regard to land grants. : He will. In bis report, recom mend the erection on a lot across the street from .the present small brick building,- for many years used as an arsenal, but now a storage place for books, af a four-story flre-proof building-. . He now has books stored on the fourth floor of a store, rents a brick warehouse, the arsenal Is full, and so is the enrolling; office and there are many books stored In the basement of the agricultural building. The rents paid aggregate over 1800 and the places are most unsuitable. - He will also urge the placing: of steel document cases In the rooms In the capttol. At present the cases are of pine wood, very heavy and awkward, and cannot be gotten out , of 'the:.doora;s.v:;;. To-day Dr. and Mrs. D. H. Abbott and Messrs, Henry and James Lltch f ord returned from Mexico. They were in the large party of corporation com missioners and their friends who made a tour of the Mexican railways. They eler, who, Is compelled either to walk or to be carried in a hammock. The traveler who travels by ham mock finds himself swinging to and fro, suspended from a horizontal bar whose ends rest on the shoulders of two stalwart natives, who rush him at breakneck speed through narrow and uneven paths, over dangerous ravines and huge logs which block the way. Sometimes the unequal height of the carriers occasions much suffering to the victim, whkh the native enjoys richly. The absence of railroads and of every other vehicular convenience for travel In Liberia Is a serious draw back to the development and prosper ity of the Republic p-or this reauon very few Siberians venture"into the Interior. Except soldiers and traders, the Siberians are absolutely Ignorant of the Interior of their country, 'hey prefer to go to Europe for picture and recreation, although the interior of Liberia is said to be rich in rto-l ducts, beautiful In scenery and health ful In location. Only the foreigner ventures. Because of his willingness to assume the difficulties of the Jour ney he becomes at once the object of curious wonder. One party consisted of T. It. McWIl liams, professor of science in the Col lege of West Africa, as scientist; K Hurrlson Lyon, as photographer: Mr. Zacheus Kennedy, a Liberlan road commissioner; a botanist; a student of native customs, and nine natives to carry food and luggagu, making fif teen persons in all. Several rare spec- Iment of flora and fauna were collect ed and many Interesting pictures were taken of the chiefs and their people. vve lert Monrovia on April 28. The route took us up to the head of the Bt were everywhere entertained royally, laul river and thence to Harrlsburg, meeting President Diss and the Gov- ,ri h" of operations for Dobblee's ernors; of ;tb various States through which their special train passed. It was i very notable trip In all respects. They find Mexico a wonderful country and that its people greatly like those of the United, States, though the two countries were at war but little over half a century ago. The picking of cotton has been re sumed since the bad weather ended, but,-what remains Is badly stained. Rome of the farmers are greatly dis heartened about the tumble in prices and already there Is talk of planting much less next year. This Is the very thing desired, The farmers see that a big crop Is a draw back and puts them much more at the mercy of speculators. In the "Federal Court here there Is a case against a woman who is charged with sending obscene matter through! the mall, in the shape of advertise ments nf a medicine. The opinions seem to Jje that she will not be con-ito climb over or to go around, and to ixiana. Mere we calculated upon se curing a sufficient number of natives to accompany us as carriers; but this oeing tne season for planting we found it Impossible to hire any one, and were compelled to walk fo and from Kpondla Hill, a distance of more than 200 miles. After leaving Harrlsburr, a Liberlan town inhabited by OvJlised people, we found no roads entitled to be called such leading into the Interior, cither to or from native towns. Thev are all crooked and labyrinthine. They are made crooked to mislead the enemy and to render his uppioach to a towii difficult during a tribal war. The ab origines give theinael t-s no eoiii,brn about obstacles in the road. ThMy cut down a tree and leave part, of th-J huge branches lying acros sihe unth. 'lhev never think of remnvln tncrii tsctpt when compelled to do so by a Liberl an commissioner. They pref;r c!thfrl claion. It is fit frequent occurrence for boys between the ages of 8 and t years to stick a uleca or cnin aoout an inch and a half In width in the ground or on the limb of a tree and, at a distance of 200 feet, to split It in halves with the arrows from their bows, The country knife Is indispensable to the native. It Is his moat effective weapon of defence. With Jt he can successfully meet the attacks of the boa constrictor and many of tbe raven ous beasts and poisonous reptiles, of which he has but little fear. The only animal which he seems to fear Is the baboon. He will entrap an elephant, chase a leopard, and pursue ' a hippo potamus, but he will fly in mad haste from the hideous yells of a baboon, which resemble the cry of a man In distress. This sound unnerves him. and despite his reputation for, courage he will desert you in the densest, for. est. Our party had an Illustration of this during- the trip. When In the midst of a thick bush, ten miles away from any settlement, we heard this doleful , noise, which we mistook for the cry of distress or perhaps some misguided traveler. The natives came to a halt. They knew what It was, and In their discomfiture started to leave us In the thickest forest, but the sudden discbarge of our firearms brought them to their senses. Continual tribal wars In the Interior have resulted In the depopulation of whole sections and In the extermina tion of thousands of families. Africa is the most thinly populated of the continents, there being only thirteen persons to the square mile. Liberia Is never without tribal wars.

Gold, ivory and cattle which formerly came to the markets of Monsovla have been divert ed Into other directions Because of bet ter protection to life and property. This fact contributes to the scarcity of fresh meat at the capital. Women are Invariably the cause of every contention. Wealth among the nboriglhes Is baaed solely on the num ber of wives, boys and cattle possessed The man who has the most wives can easily be king. The abduction of one of the wives of a Pessy man, and the refusal to give her up when demand Is made. Is casus belli. The men of captured town are frequently put to death In the most cruel manner, while the women and children are reduced to abject bondage. Of these the king takes the lion'B share, and distributes the remainder among his followers. The children are frequently sold, pawned or given to satisfy financial demands, very often among them selves, or to members of neighboring tribes, or sometimes to Liberlans, who pay the price for them, and then keep them under the apprentice system until they are given their liberty, If they do not abscond In the meantime. The social life of the Interior has a degenerating tendency on the morals of the foreigner also, illustrations In so cial and moral degenarcy are numer ous among white and black foreign ers. These victims have hot been confined to the secular life, but have been found in the religious life also. Men and women who came to teach and lift up have been found among the victims not merely of heathenism but of wanton Immorality. Currency is absent from this section. The natives bring their products cof fee, palm oil. palm kernels, palm wines, knHaila. starch, plassava. Ivory, skins, venison, camwood, rubber, beeswax, honey, gold, precjous stones, sheep, goats, cattle, ginger, kola nuts, and other things and for these they get from the merchant cloth, salt tobac co, pipes,, gin, -cutlasses, Drass aeiues.
