Detroit, Mich.. May ».-"I kill#d two
birds with one stone this trip," Moses
R. Branner. a formar Michigan man, who
has lived ill South America for the past
fifteen years, as he cocked his feet upon
the window ledgo in tbe Wayna hotel read-
ing room last evening. "I'vt been over
in Kent county to visit my sister, who
is the only relative I have left in
Michigan, and I have also bought a Michi-
gan saw mill of the latest pattern,
which I shall set up in Brazil. Lumber in
that country is at a premium, and so are
the various products of wood, notably com-
mon furniture. I have not yet made up my
mind to go into furniture manufacturing,
bowover, although the money those people
at Grand Rapids have made does cause the
business to look tempting. Brazil is the
United States of South America, and, to my
mind, the coming great country. Things
are, of course, somewhat broken no there
at present, but I have great faith in the fu-
ture.
"How do the people look at the recipro-
city question? That is a hard one, and I am
afraid I can not answer it in the way the
people of the country would like best. At
the same time I can not say that reciprocity
is unwelcome to us. TLe prospect of more
extended trade relations with the United
States is something tbat elves great encour-
agement to the more Intelligent of the busi-
ness people, but the British influence in the
country is to great tbat I fear the results
will not be what the people of this country
expect. The English have traded in Brazil
so long aud have boon so generous in the
matter of credit—and credit is what we do
business on, you know—that it will be hard
for American merchants, with their quick-
8ales-and-shortrcredits system, to make any
huge Inroads with us. In Rio de Janeiro 1
know merchants who are leaders in the
commercial world of the country and yet
who are carried by their English creditors
on six months and even a year's time.
"In addition to this the British aid mak-
ing the most Herculean efforts to combat
tho Yankee tradesmen. Besides the many
vessels now plying between the F-ltish
isles and South American ports, many of
which are fast steamers, an English project
is now on foot to bring Brazil nearer
to England, in point of time, than
New York is to Liverpool. An im-
possible scheme? Not a bit of it.
In fact it is already under way, and had
been quite thoroughly discussed in Rio Ja-
nerio before I left there. The project I re-
fer to is nothing less than a railroad from
tnestraitsof Gibralter across Morocco and
the desert of Sahara to Monrovia, the capi-
tal of Liberia, and from that place a line of
swift steamers across the Atlantic to Per-
nambuco, wblch is in reality of late the
principal seaport of Brazil. We expect to
see Pernambuco a aecond New York before
many years.
"If yon will examine a map of the world
you will notice something that is not gen-
erally remembered by Americans, and that
is that Liverpool is almost the same dis-
tance from Pernambuco as it is from New
York, and that New York is not much
nearer Pernambuco than Liverpool is. So,
you see, if a steamer can run from Eng-
land to America in six days she
can reach us in seven, which shows
how near we are to England. If you
will take the trouble to look at the map
again you will see that the Atlantic is
hardly more than a third as wide between
Monrovia and Pernambuco as it la between
England and America; In fact, tbat it is
hardly more than a strait. We expect to
see a line of steamers there that will cross
between Monrovia and Pernambuco in lens
than two days: and you know, with trains
running north to England at tho rate
of fifty miles an hour, a journey from
Brazil to England would be practically a
short land trip, with just enough water to
cross to give zest to the ride. Car ferry
steamers, built after the plan of these upon
the Detroit river, but more housed In, are
to be used in taking trains across the straits
of Gibraltar and the English channel, and
I wilt not be so much snrprised if some
day we find trains crossing the Atlantic in
that way, so that the same cars may run
from England to Brazil, and even to the
Andes.
"Oh, yes. the question of water in the
desert of Sahara has been considered, but it
doesn'^ bother the British engineers half so
much as it does to learn the cheapest plan
to make an immense deep water harbor at
Monrovia. The coast is rather low and the
ocean shallow there, but it is hoped some
breakwaters of massive type and consider*
able dredging may make a safe resting place
for tue largest steamers. They say in Rio
tbat the Llberian government la willing to
make valuable concessions to the company
which proposes to undertake the construc-
tion of the harbor.
"In the desert of Sahara, and indeed all
the way across the country of Morocco, sur-
veys for the railroad have already been par-
tially made, and they say the only real dlN
Acuity met has been the ferocity of the igno-
rant tribes of Berbers and Arabs, the for-
mer being particularly troublesome in the
rougher regions of the far interior, In and
beyond the Atlas mountains. The country,
however, is described as particularly tine
and productive, and the Berbers as quite
industrious farmers In apite of their war-
like demonstrations toward the surveyors,
which makes it likely that the railroad
would not have to depend entirely upon tbe
trade of South America for its profits. The
sultan of Morocco is said to have fallen a
ready victim to the seductive promises of
the English and to have granted valuable
franchises and landed rights.
In the great desert plenty of water has
been found wherever borings have been
made, and in many instances the wells will
be really quite shallow. Not long ago you
may have noticed In the daily telegraph
dispatches the discovery of a lake of pure
water only 1130 feet below the surface of
Sahara. The lake was discovered by
the English engineers. There will
also be some difficulty in tbe jangles
to the south of tbe desert, but after
all, the whole line will not offer a single
new or even very difficult engineering feat.
It was expected at first that it would be
necessary at one point In the desert to
cover tbe tracks with sheds aa a protection
against the fiylng sand, but so many arte-
sian wells have been found in that neigh-
borhood tbat the sand Is being fairly Hood-
ed, and by tbs time the road is built a lux*
nriant vegetation will cover what has here-
tofore been a plateau of whirling, burning,
barren sand.
"A* the entemrlse was described in Rio
financial circles six months ago, it Is to be
carried on by a powerful syndicate made up
of several companies, each of which will
Garry on a section of the work. One, for
Instance, will build and operate the car
ferries, taking the profits from them; so-
other will construct tbe African railroad
and make money oat of huge railroad con-
cessions; another will build the harbor at
Monrovia, and will get great profit from
the lands and privileges which wbe Libe-
rian republic can afford to give for the op-
portunity to become an important common-
wealth.
It i.s a ve^r rich country naturally, you
know, bat has never been stimulated into
activity bi'cau«e it has had no commercial
• iilift. The line of steamers across tbe
tu will probably be built in Scotland,
Hi ■ vessels are to be made as
. ,ta* iLe very best oX the north j
Atlantic linere. They are expected
to do an immense passenger busi-
ness, owing to tbe recent African discover-
ies and the renewed interest in the dark
continent hnd Its possibilities. Stanley's
book Is read with as much activity by the
Spanish or Portugues speaking half breeds
of thesouth as by any Englishman or Amer-
ican; and the people in the south see mar-
velous possibilities for profitable trade with
their huge neighbors across the narrow At-
lantic in the next few years to come."
A Nebraskan'a Suggestion.
St. Lojis, Mo., May 86.—[Special]—A. J.
Gastin of Kearney, Neb., writes to the Re-
public prompted by reading Hon. Roger Q.
Mills' article on reciprocity in tho current
number of the Forum, to make the follow-
ing suggestion for government control of
railways:
The statistical reports of 18S9 of the
interstate commerce commission show that
the average haul ot freight was 127.36
miles, and that the revenue per ton of
freight per mile (this is allowing the freight
charges to be just as the railroads are
charging) was 9.22 mills. Multiply these
together and we find that if distance
were eliminated from the calculations of
transportation the same as It is In the postal
system, |1 17l-£, would pay the same revenue
per ton per average haul to the railroads as
they now receive, and it would make a 20-
ton car cost $23 4u per car any distance.
This on the basis of there being but one
classification for freight. Make ten classes
of freight, as there are now four classes of
postal matter, and farm and mine products
can be hauled for |5 per car any distance,
other classes paying a proportionately
larger ratio to exceed 160 per car, and
a revenue be raised that will pay
operating expenses and give a revenue
for a sinking fund to buy up the propert:
at its actual value, which surplus fund will
amount to $450,000,000 per yesr above oper-
ating expenses. If the postal system is a
political machine it grinds out mail service
at the same price for all citizens and localU
ties and gives every one tbe same oppor
tunity of national communication.
The farmers and laboring men have paid
reciprocity duties to tbe manufacturers for
years and received comparatively little in
return. New we don't want any of their
profits returned, but we do want trade and
production to be fully reciprocal hereafter
or she stops. We want no strikes, just coo
headed bonest business deals, and wl!l
take nothing less. The statesman of
to-day must view his constituency
from the vestibuled car of progress from
every quarter with no favors to any one
and prejudices to none. Continue the pres-
ent blind course and we breed paupers in-
stead of American manhood.
One hundred dollars a car from one point
for an article to another point, and S50 for
some cooas to another point does not mean
an equal chance. Ninety-nine cents c
hundred for sugar to Kearney, Neb.
from tbe Pacific coast, and 65 cents
to Omaha from the Pacific coast
does not mean an equal chance.
Some of my friends in all ranks of living
may think this problem a difficult one, but
it ia growing into solution as plainly as
grows the cornstalk from tbe kernel of
corn, or bursts tne cotton from the pod.
Won bj tbe Alton.
chicago, 111., May 26.—The Chicago and
Alton gained a complete victory in the
Western passenger association to-day by
compelling all other roads to yield to Its
terms in regard to summer tourist and sx»
cursion rates. The result of the meeting,
after two days' wrangle on this subject was
the adoption without amendment or change
of resolutions originally introduced by
General Passenger Agent Charlton. These
resolutions provide tbat summer tourist
rates between all points in the ter-
ritory of the association for 1891
shall be not less than 80 per cent of
standard rates; that the agreement be
amended so that no application for relief
against the action of competing lines in re-
ducing thia agreed basis for tourist rates
within the territory of the association shall
be considered by the chairman without
unanimous consent of all members, and
that no rates shall be made from Mis-
souri river points through Chicago to points
east or north or Wisconsin points less than
125. It was further resolved that for tbe
annual convention of the National Educa-
tional association at Toronto in July a rate
of one fare for the round trip be charged,
plus £2 by way of direct route to Toronto
only, and not by way of Buffalo or Niagara.
Tne association yielded every point urged
by the Alton. A committee was appointed
to recommend a form of ticket for as* dur-
ing the tourist season.

A NEGRO'S CAPACITY FOR EGGS.
H. Stows Aw.y Six Uohi In a rent Mlnutu
at tiiudewat.r, Tex.
Gladewater, Tex., May 26.—We have
here a negro, Mose Hudson, about 50 years
old and weighs 200 pounds, who has fre-
quently boasted of the number of eggs he
could eat. This morning he was standing
around tbe store of L. J. Everett. Some
one asked him if he felt like eating eggs.
He replied that he was not hungry, but he
world like to have a few dozen if
some one would furnish them. A traveling
agent for a patent churn dash, Mr. Ira
Goocb, as iced him how many he could eat.
He said If he was hungry he could eat
seven dozen, "Well," said Mr. Goocb, "If
you will eat six dozen 1 will pay for them."
"All right." said Mose, "git the eggs."
But as preparations were begun he
begged for u little time to let
tbe three quarts of buttermilk ho had just
drank settle. At 11 o'clock a. m„ to the
surprise of all, ho got back from his house,
and as he came up said he was now ready
for tbe eggs. He said he must cook them
bis own way, which was ag-eed to. The
time In which he must eat tbetn was fixed
at fifteen minutes, aud the cooking began.
A little lard was put into an
oven heated quite hot and eigh-
teen eggs were put In. He did
not allow the oren to be put on tbe fire
after the eggs wero put in, but would stir
them about a minute and pour into another
vessel. This was repeated until six dozen
were cooked and the eating began. He flrrt
began with a spoon, but fearing It would
take him over time, he actually
drank them from tho vessel, and
In eigbt minutes he completed the job and
marched home with as much dignity as
John L. Sullivan erer left the pugilistic
ring.
Mr. T. F. Watklns sit'.d he saw him drink
the three quarts of buttermilk at 8 o'clock.
He ate the eggs at 11.10 o'clock.

FEDERATION OF LABOR.
PRESIDENT GOLDEN ISSUES A CALL
FOR A STATE CONVENTION.
Intimates that Governor IJogg Ran Not
Comt Up to Expectations—Tho Con-
vention Will Meet In Sulphur
bp rings on July 3.
Dallas, Tex.. May 31—The following
call for a state convention of the Federation
of Labor at Sulphur Springs on tbe 3d of
next July was issued today by P. H- Golden,
president of the order:
Dallas, Tex., May 20.—To the Officers
and Members of all Subordinate Branches
of tbe Farmers Alliance. Grange, Wheel,
Knights of Labor and Lan*r Organizations
generally of Texas—Greeting: Pursuant
to tbe Instructions of the executive board
it now bccomes my duty to call a
meeting of the state federation of labor to
convene in Sulphur Springs July 3, 1891,
in third annual convention. Though
not unexpected, it is needless that I
should recount to you tho many interesting
occurrences that transpired in the labor
movement since last it was my pleasuro to
call you together in convention which if
utilized to tbe best advantage possible can
not fail of exercising a beneficent aud be-
nign influence in determining the course
the new movement is to take aud in shap-
lng its destiny.
In Texas since we last met we have passed
through a most exciting, and, as far as the
hopes and ambitions of our leaders are con-
cerned, a tragic and blasting campaign, out
of which mauy of us came unscathed and
in which the question of a railroad
commission formed no unimportant factor
in determining the result which culminated
in the olection of a commission governor,
whose political mako up was promiclng in
many respects, sod who assumed
the duties of his oflice under favorable
and auspicious circumstances. While it is
not within my province at this juncture to
criticize his official acts, it yet seems
to me that his administration of
the affairs of this state, his
appointments, etc., have not given the satis-
faction promised of him, and which it was
assumed he would give, when on the hust-
lngs seeking tbe office.
There were many reforms we sought to
work through the legislature, through our
representatives, which that bo iy failed
to act on—reforms not sweeping but
essential to the welfare and happiness of
our people, among vrhich was the question
of a pure, untrammeled ballot, free from
the corrupt and degrading influences of
bribery and intimidation, by which every
citizen could be protected in the free en-
joyment of the right of suffrage,
be he white or black, rich
or poor, great or small, the
exercise of which, coupled and tempered
with judgment, could not fall to be of ser-.
vice in remedying the many evils of which
we justly complain and In alleviating tbe
poverty and penury consequent on a mal-
adjustment of conditions.
These reforms included a laborers lien
law, a uniform text book bill and Buch an
extension of tho free school system
as would open the way to a high-
er standard of public school educa-
tion, and thus equipping our children
with tho means of education, so tbat in
after years when the battle of life dependod
upou their shoulders they might success*
fully go through the world, combating tbe
many obstacles besetting them.
A most important Item to be considered
is the question of placing all county officers
on a salary to be regulatod by law, the sal-
ary to be commensurate with and a just
equivalent for service rendered, and tbe
abolition of the commission system now
prevalent in the nature of fees and such
reform in our judicial procedure as will
facilitate justice, leaving its operation less
tardy, burdensomeand oppressive.!
In inaugurating the people's movement,
it remains for you to say whether Texas
shall lag behind in the procession or take
her place in tne ranks of the legions now
forging onward to.permanent and lasting
victory.
Trusting to your best judgment in this
matter, having reached the turn in
the road, I am confldont you
will pursue tbe right course, having
an abiding faith in tho wisdom,
integrity and earnest, patriotic intelligence
of the people. I calmly await the result.
P. H. Golden, President.

retary.

CHOSEN FRIENDS OF HOUSTON.
The? Are Preparing to Give a Big Joint
Picnic at Houston.
Yesterday morning a delegation of Chosen
Friends from tbe eight councils located In
Houston arrived In the city, and were
treated with fraternal regards by the mem-
bers of tbe order here, whose number In-
cludes the membership of sevea esrnest
councils.
Ths visiting Friends were Messrs. Auzust
Bonner. William Ravell and William Dan-
baker. They were entertained by the
members of Gulf City council, during ths
regular meeting of that popular body, and
cared for subsequently. At the meeting It
was decld.d to give a picnic at Houston on
the 28th of next month, at tbe Volksfest
grounds. To this entertainment it waa
n greed that all of the Chosen Friends on
the island and in the Magnolia city, to-
gether with members of organizations,
both mystic, social and civic, should pars
ticipate.
After a deliberative talk It was
fixed that a committee from Gulf City coun-
cil should confer with the other organiza-
tions in order to perfect arrangements for
the coming festivities.
Ths committee consists of Messrs. D. A.
Smith, A. H. Bottombjr and Wm. Lewis.
The Houston "Friends" will remain In
Galveatou until this morning, when they
will return to report their progress in the
enterprise.
INCREASED SERVICE.
The Two Mallory Ships Per Week Will Be
Continued.
It was formerly the custom of tbe MsN
lory company to take off one of tbelr ships
during tbe summer, cutting the service
down to one ship a week from tbe 1st of
May. A great many people may be under
the Impression that this custom Is now In
practice, but such Is not the cose. Tbe Mal-
lory company now finds business enough to
keep two sbips a week running the year
round between Sew York aud Galveston,
and ships will continne through tbe sum*
mer to leave Galveston on Wedneadays ujkl
Saturdays.
The Meet In the Eleventh*
There was a lively political conclave of
Interested candidates and voters at the In-
tersection of Eleventh and K streets last
night. Solid talk and liquid inspiration
was the programme. The attendance was
large and those whose eloquence broke
upon the stillness of the summer night
time can be named as follows: Charles
Clifford, William Houlaban. Harry
Jaques and Alderman Allen. These
silver tongued orators told their
little talus in simple styls and
made many friends, if the hand shaking
wblch followed their concluding remarks
can be vouchsafed as a guarantee of good
faltb. Mr. Calhouu bad a few spicy words
to say about tbe fire department, pro and
con, which fairly glowed with sparkling
wit and orlgloal Illustrations. Tbe meet-
ing was not boisterous. On the other hand
It bad tbat somblanco of peace and calm
which foreruns supposed succses.

TORTURED BY ZULUS.
FRIGHTFUL SUFFERING9 OF THE SUR-
VIVORS OF THE NEPTUNE.1
Four Ameiloans Amocg tho Nnmber—One
ofXhom Has Letter* from 8an An-
tonio, Texas, nod Stiver City,
New Mexico—Detail#.
St. Louis, May 26.- [Special]—The Globe-
Democrat has just received a letter from
Cape Town, South Africa, giving an ac-
count of the capture and torture by Zulus
of Jeff Allen of Decatur, 111., and W. A.
Kennan. whose home is supposed to be
either at St. Joseph, Mo., or Silver City,
N. M.
Tbe letter Is dated March 31 and reads In
part as follow.}: "The British ship Neptune,
Csptain Saunders, master, of London, was
recently driven ashore off the coast of
Natal, and all but five out of a crew of fifty-
elgbt perished. Those who escaped were
the chief mate named Adams, a Greek; A.
B. Leaman, an Englishman, and W, A.
Kennan and Jeff Allen, two Americans.
When the ship was wrecked the crew took
to the boats, wblcb were capsized and all
went down but the five mentioned. The
party stopped nine days on the sbo.'e to bury
the dead that floated ashore, and all this
time the party Buffered terribly from ex-
posure and want of food, mussels and wild
fruit being tbelr only means of subsistence.
After nine days on tbe shore the five men
started on foot to Natal, 170 miles On the
way they were captured by a band of Zulus,
who stripped off their clothing and pro-
ceeded to torture them by tying them to a
tree and besting them with the shambock,
a jugged club made of rhinoceros hide.
VVbile tbe fiends were in tbe midst of tbls
barbarous pastime they were surprised by
a party of Boer hunters armed with mus-
kets, who charged upon them and put
them to rout. But throe of the survivors
of the shipwreck wero already dead, ths
Zulus having butohered them with nssegas.
These three were Jeff Allen, tbe Greek and
Leamen. Kennan and Adams were tbo
only ones who survived the torture. It
Is heart sickeulr.g to hear Adams relate tbe
way tbo poor men pleaded for mercy. It
seems be became unconscious after the
first two strokes with the shambock.
Kennan, be says, received threo strokes,
and from what Adams could understand
the chief wanted to spare his life and take
him captive to bis kraal, while tbe others
he ordered killed.
Kennan and Adams were safely convoyed
to Natal by the Boer banters, from whence
they went to Capo Town, lvennau was
rendered Insane by the torture, and had not
recovored up to tbo time tho letter was
written. On bis person wero found two
letters, one signed L. Kennan, from Silver
City. N. M., and another, S. W. Joseph,
from the saine place, and two from San
Antonio, Tex., signed J. Trevino. Tbe St.
Joseph letters were signed Tootle, Hosea &
Co. Allen is from Deoatur, III."
This letter bears every evidence of au-
thenticity. It was Inclosed In an envelope
from the United Statos consulate nt Cape
Town.
WHAT THE FIRE DID.
Criminal Prosecutions Wlp.d Out—Valua-
ble Papers D.atroyed.
Jacksonville, Fla., May 26.-[Sp8clal]—
A singular result of tbe fire in the Mobawk
block last Monday nlgbt is the embarrass-
ment under wblch it places the entire state
court for the southern district of Florida.
The fire made a clean sweep of the papers
and records of this court. Many of tbe
papers on fllo there dated back to 1740, old
Spanish records which oan tiover be re-
placed. Clerk Philip Walter says there was
not a handful of papers saved, and Judge
Swayne, when asked how the loss of tbe
records would affect tbe proceedings of his
court, said tbat he and the district attorney
wero considering tbe matter, but as yet wore
at sea. He thought some papers might bo
re-established. He was farther asked about
the criminal cases, indictments, etc. He
said tbe district attorney were looking Into
those. As to the cases that might expire
under the statute of limitation before they
could be reinstated he was uncertain.
District Attorney Shepling says that the
law provides for such emergencies, and he
can make out u.w papers and have them
properly certified to aud proceed with the
cases under them. Clerk Walter inclines
to the opinion that tho lire made an end to
mcst cases and especially criminal. He
waa asked about the famous Gregg election
and he thought that was at an end. Sever-
al lawyers concurred in Mr. Walter's opin-
ion tbat the fire wiped out tbe criminal
cases ia a number of instances, but where
all the witnesses can be secured some new
Indictments may be found.
Colonel Horatio Elsbee, ex-congressman,
doubts the resurrection of any cri m inal cases
where tbe indictment was destroyed. Unless
there Is a perfect copy made of the Indicts
m.nt found he does believe a case would
stand. The whole proceedings would haTe
to be gone over again to make a case. As
there ure many cases still pending against
middle Florida democrats for alleged viola-
tion of the United States election law in
1SSS these opinioLS are Insignificant.

The Real Ui eneffi r
Of food is lost when the digestive functions are disordered—when the
stomach is weak, the liver sluggish, and the bowels constipated. To re-
store the healthy action of these organs, Ayer's Pills surpass all other
aperients. Composed of the best vegetable cathartics, Ayer's Pills cleanse
and strengthen the stomach, regulate the liver, and operate gently but
effectually on the bowels. Heartburn, flatulency, nausea, sick headache,
and other distressing symptoms of dyspepsia are speedily removed by this
incomparable medicine. Mrs. M. J. Ferguson,Pullens, Va., says: "Ayer's
Pills are the best I have ever used for headache, and they act like a charm
in relieving any disagreeable sensation in the stomach after eating."
"I have used Ayer's Pills in my family for several years, and have al-
ways found them most effectual in the relief of ailments arising from a
disordered stomach, torpid liver, and constipated bowels."—Charles J.
Booth, Olivewood, Pasadena P. O., Cal.
"Having been subject, for years, to constipation, without being able
to find much relief, I at last tried Ayer's Pills, and I deem it both a duty
and a pleasure to testify that I have derived great benefit from their use.
Por over two years past I have taken one of these pills every night before
retiring."—G. W. Bowman, 16 East Main St., Carlisle, Pa.
