An African Territory About Which Ike
r.iigllili t.ovrrnnieut la Vitally t on
crriixl The Dispute About
Ila Houuilarlea.
"ItuttU1 in tlio Cnmi'VDons," hi.vs a re
cent cable. Wltat and where arc the
Cutnei-oons? This from the Xcw York
Uerald will elucidate a little:
The Cameroon! is a territory on tbe
Uitfht of llinfni. West Africa, one
hundred and II fly thousand siuure
miles in extent, and with nit estimated
population of two millions. It has a
coast line of one hundred and twenty
miles between the Campo river and the
llio del Key, is bounded on the north
cast by a treaty line running north
east to the east of Yola, on the upper
llenue, and on the south by a lino run
ning inland, duo east from the mouth
of the Campo river, to about the me
ridian of longitude fifteen decrees east,
which may be regarded as the eastern
or inland limit of the so-called "pro
tectorate." In 18113 there were one hundred and
sixty-six whites, of whom one hundred
anil nine were Uernian anil thirty-one
English. It lieeame a licrman pro
tectorate in lssi, and is placed under
an imperii)! (fovenior, assisted by a
chancellor, two secretaries and a local
ciiunsil of three representative mer-
i chants. The country is fertile, and
numerous valuable African vegetable
productions grow in profusion. I'liin
, tations of cacao and tobacco have been
fanned by a company, and numerous
', factories carry on nn active trade in
ivory and palm oil. On January 1,
I", nn import duty was imposed on
j European goods, and from this the
I revenue is mainly derived. The chief
I town is t'ameroons, and in the South
lliitanja, lliinbia and itultumlit Town
are other important trading stations,
i and Aqua Town and Hell Town aro tho
i principal native settlements. The im
! ports and exports are tiite large.
1 In April last, Mr, Ilenrv M. Stanley
wrote to the peace association a letter
in which he attributed the increase of
trade in Isfl-J at. African ports under
(lerimin administration to the growing
practice among (ierman mcrrhuntsof
importing into Africa small arms and
ammunition. These materials of war,
he saitl, were sold to tho slavo traders
and do inestimable damage. Mr. Stan
ley iuculpatcd also tho Portuguese in
liis charges. He appealed to the Euro
pean nations to suppress tho trafllo In
arms carried on by tho Hermans and
Portuguese. Unless this step bo talten.
he added, all efforts to stop the slave
trade would be useless.
In February a (ierman expedition,
which was under the command of
V'rciherr von Stetten, proceeded from
the ( ameroous coast up the river San
nnga to Hiilinga, whence it traveled to
tho thickly populated district of Tikar
ii ml reached Ngaudore and tola.
Treaties were concluded with the na-
tlvo tribes in the districts passed
through. This reappearance on tho
const, the lvretiz .eitung pointed out,
was peculiar in view of the stutement
i made by members of tho expedition
( that Lake Tchad was their goal. It is
' a fact, though at present an lnexulica
I ble one, that (Ierman expeditions fail
I to reach the more easterly portions of
uic ninteriantl or the Cauieaoons. The
I expedition returned in September.
i England and Cermany bad a long
dispute ii lion l mo boundnries of the
Cameroous, which wus settled in May
last. The third section of tho agree
ment, reads: " I lie (ierman colonial
administration enguges not to allow
any trade settlements to exist or be
erected on the riiht liank of the Kio
del Key Creek or waterway. In like
manner the administration of the Oil
rivers protectorate engages not to al
low any trade settlements to exist or
to be erected on tho western bank of
the lluknssy peninsula from tho first
creek below Arslbon's village to the
sea n nd eastward from this bank to
the Kio del Key waterway."
According to llio (ierman view the
new ii;reeineut is a purely fiscal one,
intended to enable the llritisli and
(Ierman administrations to cope with
the widespread smuggling, which was
especially detrimental to the Camer
onus. There had been no question of
altering the frontier laid down by the
provisional agreement of 1890, which,
in consequence of disagreement be
tween the two (rovcrnments, left the
RJo del Hey out of count and settled i
the frontier as a siruigui tine running
from the upper end of the waterwnv
to the rapids of the Cross river. lint
this indefinite "upper end'' has now
been fixed as above set forth. Much
satisfaction was expressed in Kerlin at
the pledge given by the English gov
eminent not to allow trade settlements
on the. ItaUassy peninsula, which other
wise would have afforded an exeelle'nt
base for contraband operations.
CHASING A SWIFT CUNARDEH
What the (.miser Columbia Might Have
to Do In Caie of War.
A comparison of the speed merits of
tho cruiser Columbia with tho two
fastest ships afloat in case of war is
made by the New York Tribune. The
two vessels which the Columbia might
have difficulty in catehingare the Cam
pania and Lucania. The Campania
has made the highest average hourly
apeea e?er attained by a vessel in a
transatlantic voyage. She did it re'
cently when she made an average of
21.28 knots from Qucenstown to New
York. The highest average speed for
one day was made recently by tho Lu
cania, which ran at an average of 22.74
knots for 84 hours 50 minutes a nauti
cal nay coming west, jnow, suppose
there was war between England and
America, and tho Columbia was look
ing for one of tho two big ships, which,
under thoso circumstances, would be
either in use as transports or trans
formed into light-armed commerce de
stroyers themselves. A sharp lookout
would bo kept from the crow's nest for
the swift and terrific Columbia. As
ncr tour smoKesiacits wouiil make ho
more readily distinguishable than an
ordinary ship, she could be recognized
for a certainty with a glass, sa v fifteen
miles under ordinary circumstances, or
say approximately eighteen miles tin
der tho most favorable circumstance.
The Columbia would also recognize
the Cunardcr and the race would be
gin. If tho Columbia made the time she
mado on her triul race of 22.81 knots
and the Lucania made tho best time
she ever made of 22.74 knots an hour,
the Columbia would have gained on
the Lucania at the end of an hour .07
of a knot. Hut the Lucania has the
advantage of nn 18-mile start. Eight
een miles is equal to about 15.',' knots.
The fraction Is a trifle larger, but two
thirds is near enough for practical pur
poses. Now, if tho Columbia gains
.07 of a knot in one hour, it would take
her a little over nine days to overtake
tho Lucania. In that time the Lucania
could easily mnko a llritisli fortified
port, no matter where the chase should
take place. England lias a chain of
fortifications around the world. In
tho case of the Campania, taking her
best average speed for a transatlantic
voyage of S1.29 knots, tho Columbia
would havo a differenco In her
favor of 1.53 knots. If she
trained 1.53 knots an hour on the
Campania it would take her to over
come the KJi knots which the Cam
pania had the start about 10 hours and
25 minutes. It would. 'therefore seem
is If the Lucania were tho only ship
wnicn tno Columbia could not catch.

in the ( ornlull Magazine a writer
thus records a visit to mi Egyptian
domicile situated upon the Nile: "Wo
went into the hut after some hesi
tation (the dragoman whispered there
were 'lames' there) and found a vigor
ous old man telling his Mussulman
beads cross-legged upon a mud bench,
and on the floor bent over the fire the
oldest looking human being 1 oversaw
anve. .Mummies I have seen, and won
dered not that they were dead, but in
what part of her withered, desiccated
frame that old woman found space to
keep the stern, vital energies that lined
her grim, carved face I can sarccly
guess. Mic looked no more living than
henweed docs dried nnd stretched on
paper.
"Her arms, her legs (thrust almost
Into the tire) were so shrunken that
the long leathern flesh ond flaccid
muscles hung round them like dangling
snreds on sticks. Hound her neck
were beads of wood and round her
wrists leathern bracelets (though, to
be sure, I cannot feel certain they

OPPOSED TO ALL PROGRESS.
Chinese Aversion to Railroads Manifested
In Curious Ways.
Engineering enterprise in China,
particularly in so far as regards rail
road building, has had, and is sttll
having, a good deal to contend with In
tho way of native prejudice, cupidity
and superstition, says Cassell'a Maga
zine, and tho tales aro many that have
been told of the peculiar difficulties
encountered in that country by
European engineers aud engineering
syndicates in the course of their opera
tions. When, for example, the first
railroad was built, a number of years
ago, the necessary land, it was stated,
was bought from several hundred
different proprietors, all of whom
wanted additional bounties for the
disturbances of nucestral graves,
which, ns may be known, abound in
what the "foreign devil" would be apt
to consider rather unusual localities.
One proprietor claimed to have buried
on his strip of land no less than five
mothers-in-law, for whom he hud to
be paid. .Satisfying him naturally re
sulted In a marvelous multiplication
of dead mothers-in-law, who thus soon
became the chief item in the cost of
tho hind. Another curious example of
the difficulties of railroad construc
tion in the celestial empire has more
recently been mentioned, and has been
afforded by the conduct of the Tartar
general of Moukdeu, the capital of
.Manchuria, in connection with the
surveying work of tho railroud from
Ivirin. another large Manchuriun town,
to Newchwung, tho seaport of tlio
province. According to current re
port it was proposed to make a junc
tion ot this lino for Moukdeu 'ut a
place a short distance outside the city,
but tho general got a number of
geomancers to investigate tho effect
of this selection upon Moukden. These
sages reported that the vcrtebnu of tho
dragon which encircles the holv oil v
of Moukden would be broken bv driv
ing the long spikes of the railroad
ties into them, and accordingly the
general vetoed the decision of tlio
engineers nnd directed them to carry
the railroad in a straight line from
Kirin to Newchwang, without nn-
pronehing .Moukden at all. This,
whilo a shorter route, would compel
the crossing of a low and murshy
tractof land, liable to floods and onlv
sparsely populated.
BUTTONS THAT SIGNIFY MUCH,
Mow Military otllclals Are l)lstln(tiill,ej
lv Them.
Tim inter-relation of the buttons or
a uniform is just as much a matter ol
regulation as the cut of a coat, saysthf
11 . t ... .... '
miMiiiigion Mar. The general wenrr
two rows of buttons on tho breast of
ins frock coat, twelve in each row
placed by fours. Tho distance be
tween the rows is live and one-hall
inches at the top and three and one-
half at the bottom. The lieutenant
general is entitled to only ten button!
in each row, arranged in upper and
lower groups of three and a middle
group of four. Tlio ma jor general has
nine buttons in each row, placed bj
threes. Tho brigadier general eight in
groups or twos.
The colonel, lieutenant colonel and
major have nine buttons in each row
arranged tt equal distances; tho cap
tain and lieutenant seven buttons it
each row at equal distances.
There are differentdesigns, of course,
not only for the buttons of the army,
the navy nnd the marine corps, but
for the different branches of the serv
ice. There arc tho infantry, artillery
ml cavalry buttons, the engineer
button, the ordnance corps button,
the button of tho marine corps and the
navy button. The navy but ton, by the
way, is made in England, because no
American manufacturer has been able
to make a bronze which tho sea air
will not tarnish. All of these button"
the army nnd nnvy tailor must keep on
hand and sew on according to regula
tion. An Aversion for Water.
Au Interesting incident of wild beast
life was witnessed by a hunter in
Asotin county, Washington, recently.
A deer came bounding down the steep
side of a bare, rocky bill on the edge of
tho Snake river, just above the mouth
of tho (irande Konde, closely followed
by a big mountain lion. The faticfa
plunged headlong into the river and
swain for dear life toward tlio farther
shore. Tho big cat stopped short at
tlio water's edge, put its paw angrily
but gingerly into the water, and thnn
drew back and watched the deer gain
the opposite bank in safety and die
appear in the woods. With a disap
pointed snarl the lion bounded away.
INTELLIGENCE OF BIRDS.
Two storlra That Uemonstrate Their liood
Sense.
A correspondent of tho Indiana
Farmer writes: "Once I noticed a tur
key buzzard that had taken a position
on a fence near by where a dead chick
en had been thrown when a crow made
: every effort to dislodge him. but the
: buzzard only put up his left or right
wing in me airection the crow enme at
him and held his place with defiant
mien, when Mr. trow alighted on a
fence stake near by and began to
"caw in a rapid manner that soon
brought two comrades on swift wings,
when after a brief interval of conver
sation two of thera approached him
from either side simultaneously, with
tho third one going at him from the
rear. The buzzard was soon dislodged
and hustled out of the vicinity by tho
successive sparrings administered.
Another instance, came to my notice
several years ago that for sympathy
has but few parallels outside of the
human family. Gazing toward the
barn one day I snw about half n dozen
sparrows on the ground greatly
agitated over something, and I stopped
to watch the proceedings. I soon saw
that one of them was in great distress.
With drooping wings and mouth wide
open the others hovered close about it
and seemingly peered down the littlo
sufferer's throat. After a timo the sick
bird hopped up on the lower board of
the fence, stretching itself up to its
full length, when ono of the other
birds Hew up on a board higher direct
ly above and nervously made somecal-
j dilutions for a few seconds, then quick
: ly lowered itself, and, clutching the
lower side of the top bonrd with its
claws, put its bill down into the open
mouth of the other one, and, as each
bird steadily drew buck with some
forte, the bird from above pulled out
from the other's throat a white,-thin-looking
object about the size of a silver
quarter, darting away, letting it drop
on the grass some rods off, but, ns I
could not fln.l the piece, I thought it
wus possibly a piece, of bone that tho
too greedy little fellow had attempted
to swallow. After being relieved it
flew away with the others, chirping a
chorus of notes with apparent delight.
AN ELECTRIC CAR YARN.
How a Complacent Citizen Hail Ilia Quiet
Joke on the Frcali Conductor.
The platform of the electric ear was
pretty well taken UP bv the ilricnc ii
man of tho "slugger"' variety nnd a big
bag, over which the man of tho "slug
ger" type appeared to bo standing
guard. When the conductor came to
collect tho fares he looked sharply at
tho bag, and then said to the tough:
"I'll havo tor chargo yer for that
bag."
"I'll bet yer won't," answered tho
man, looking angrily at him, as if any
attempt at collection would produce a
prize fight.
"Yes, I will; an' it yer don't pay. I'll
put thcr bag off. Sec?" said tho con
ductor, shortly. He gavo tho man five
minutes more, asked him a second and
a third time, then stopped tho ear and
put the bag off on the sidewalk. The
"slugger" didn't even move, and when
the car had gone about a mile further
the conductor said to him:
"Yer don't care much for that bag il
you wouldn't pay five cents fur it."
"Ah, come off!" was the reply.
"What's dcr bug got tcr do wid me?
