Stan- ley’s letter containing this astonishing news is wholly deficient in details, but itis entirely reasonable to conjecture that this affront upon their commander was perpetrated, not by the main body of his troops but by the 200 or 300 Egyptian soldiers committed to him by Gor- don, to whom he had added a native force of about 2,000 men, enlisted on the Upper Nile re- gion. “My people,” he wrote two years ago, “are, notwithstanding all their hardships, brave and good, with the exception of the Egyptian: Long before Stanley’s advent the Egyptians, chafing under their prolonged and enforced so- journ on the Upper Nile, had given Emin con- siderable trouble by their spirit of insubor: nation. If they bad possessed any resources with which to make their way through the country they would doubtless long ago have abandoned the Upper Nile. It is not likely that the people who, as Stanley wrote, “were ready to follow me out of the country,” were Emin’s negro soldiers, who were in their own land, but they were the homesick Egyptian troops, Emin’s cup of misfortune was then filled to overfiowing by the sudden appearance of the mahdists, into whose hands fell about a dozen y ‘on ten years’ time. investment.

It is less than six months since one African au- thority in Europe was stoutly contending with a great array of arguments that Muta Nzige was a Congo feeder, Stanley also found that the big mountain he first saw last year, fuily 50 miles away, and which, his men shouted, was covered with salt, was’ only one peak of a snow-covered range from which fifty streams descend to join the outflowing waters of Muta LADIES’ SEALSKIN SACQUES AND JACKETS, FUR SHOULDER CAPES, PLUSH SACQUES, JACKETS AND WRAPS, FUR-LINED AND FUR-TRIMMED LONG GAR- MENTS, MUFFS, BOAS AND TRIMMINGS.

Add these discoveries to the brilliant results of Stanley's journey through 400 miles of un- known country between the Congo and the Nile, and it is seen that his latest travels in Africa have resulted in rich additions to geo- graphical knowledge.

There was an exciting scene on the train that arrived here from the south shortly before noon today. Among the passengers who got on the train at Alexandria was'a man wearing a police uniiorm and with him was an intoxi- cated man. The policeman had a shot gun and he also appeared as though he had been cele- brating Mahone’s defeat. After the train left Alexandria the two men walked into a parlor car, where one of them shouted, “Hurrah for McKinney.” The conductor ordered them out of the car and then a “scrap” followed, in which the intoxicated individual was worsted. His face still shows the marks of the con- ductor’s fist. When the train reached the depot Policeman Jordan arrested both men and took them to police headquarters, The man in uni- form described himself as ‘‘Policeman Betters of the Alexandria police,” and the intoxicated man said, “I’m his brother.” The patrol wagon, which is unknown in Alexandria, soon arrived, and together they were driven to the “Swampoodle” police station, ‘hey were charged with acting disorderly on a railroad train, ————— A Catholic Fair.

Greely. DETERIORATION OF ARMY SIGNALING—WEATHER FORECASTS AND STORM WARNINGS—THE MILI- TARY TELEGRAPH—REORGANIZATION AND RE- DUCTION OF THE CORPS RECOMMENDED, ETC. The annual report of Gen. Greely, the chief signal officer, to the Secretary of War was made public today, He says: DETERIORATION OF MILITARY SIGNALING. “In the performance of the strictly military duties which by law devolve upon him the chief signal officer of the army has found him- self seriously embarassed by an utter lack of facilities for using or caring for the field tele- graph trains or other signal equipments under his charge; for the practical training and drill- ing of the officers and enlisted men of the sig- nal corps, and lastly, but toa minor extent as compared with the foregoing conditions, by the need of liberal appropriations. It goes without saying that under such conditions the officers and men of this service are gradually but surely retrograding as regards their mil- itary duties. No matter how able and indus- trious the officer, nor how perfect bis theories as to the principles and applications of com- municating intelligence a distance, yet experience and practice are the only safe criterion of efficiency. “The deterioration of army military signal- ing in 1887-88 has steadily increased and at the end of the fiscal year the condition of signal instruction in the army is at the lowest ebb it has ever known, The records show that less than one officer out of nine of the line of the army has received instruction in signaling during the year; less than one in twenty-two averaged one hour’s instruction monthly, even including the most elementary branches. * * * Under such conditions ONE OF TWO COURSES SHOULD BE PURSUED, either instruction in the art of military signal- ing should be abandoned and the signal corps abolished or ample moral and material sup- port should be given its chief so as to raise it | to a high standard of etticiency, to keep it abreast of modern progress and invention, and to diffuse a practical knowledge of distant communication throughout our army, ‘There are a number of surpius officers in the signal corps whose special talents and abilities are not entirely suited tosuch scientific work as is intimately connected with meteorological research; as commissioned officers of the signal corps they should be utilized in per- forming their proper military duties. * * * At present the greater part of the quite indifferent equipage pertaining to the field telegraph trains of this corps is stored at Washington barracks, rusting and deteriorating through lack of use. The signal corps possesses the shadow, rather than the substance, of a field equipment. It is evident that if the army fails in qualifying itself for work of this tech- nical character, yet, as long as the present in- terest exists in the militia, there will at least be a body of highly intelligent men to be called upon, who will have perfected themselves as far as is possible with their methods and instruction. Rarely a month passes without some commu- nication from the militia showing their ap- preciation of the importance which attaches to means of distant communication, without which separated columns cannot successfully co-operate, WEATHER FORECASTS AND STORM WARNINGS. “The increased demands for weather fore- casts clearly indicate the value placed ou them by the general public, which is beginning to appreciate that the variety of weather condi- tions in the large areas necessarily predicted fo are such as to forbid for an entire state | anything but forecasts of, a general character. | Asarule it is not practical in predictions to consider other than geographical divisions, but whenever the physical configurations of a state are such as to frequently produce con- trasting weather conditions in differeut parts the state is divided. Applications asking special predictions for cities and towns have been so numerous that the already overworked forecast oiticial cannot furnish such regularly, The office has, however, always furnished special and local predictions on occasions of public importance. The impossibility of ac- complishing additional work of this character isshown by the fact that the average time at | the disposal of the forecast official for the dis- cussion and formal issue of weather forecasts is forty-nine minutes in the morning and fifteen minutes more atnight. * * * The duties devoive strictly and personally upon the fore- cast official, and in no event is he permitted to delegate these duties. Assuming that each of the separate duties requires the same time the ofticer has only eleven seconds in which to de- cide, formulate and express himself regarding any meteorological element of 2 district, such as weather, temperature and wind. Hence it follows that on an average barely half a minute can be devoted to all the predictions for auy particular state or district, AID OF THE PRESS, “The local press in the great cities of the country and occasionally in smaller places has appreciated the public interest in local fore- casts and has in a number of cases employed a meteorological editor, who, furnished with the | data of the signal service, has enlarged on the | general synopses of this bureau and supple- | mented them by definite and satisfactory local forecasts, These meteological editors of abil- ity have put forth their forecasts not only in an agreeable form but, thoroughly familiar | with ‘local needs, in such shape as local | business interest demanded. The value of such supplementary work cannot be overestimated, | since millions of readers of these great metro- | politian dailies never see the regular data | issued by thisservice. The percentages of suc- | ceastul forecasts are for weather, 84.4; temper. ature, 75.8, with a general average of 51.0. | During the year 1,066 storm signals of all kinds have been ordered, of which 630 have been wholly, and 74 partly, justified as to velocity and 930 justified as to direction, MILITARY TELEGRAPH LINES, “There were in operation on June 30, 1889, 1,615 miles of military telegraph lines, with sixty-four telegraph or telephone offi decrease of 290 miles during the year, TI decrease results from the abandonment and sules of such telegraph lines as are unnecessary for military purposes. The policy has been invariably followed of recommending the abandonment and sale of these lines as rapidly as the construction of commercial lines will rmit. The entire receipts from all telegraph ines, military and seacoast. during the past fiscal year aggregate $7,177.70. These moneys, togetlier with those arising trom the sales of abandoned lines, have been deposited in the United States treasury, as required by law. HARD WORK FOR THE FORCE. “Enlisted men of the corps have been absent from duty on account of sickness less than three days toeach man, and absent from duty with authority nine days for each man. In view of the fact that the work of this service necessarily demands the presence of its ob- | servers every day in the year, including Sun- | days and holidays, it will be noted that they work more days than any other class of gov- ernment or private —J in the country. * * * Apart from the one hundred and one men whose standing was changed from en- listed to civil employment under act approved October 2, 1838, there have been sixty-one dis- charged from and re-enlisted in the signal corps, one retired. two lost by. death, twenty- six discharged at their own request and six- teen for the benefit of the service. The gen- era) satisfaction of the enlisted men with the service is shown by the fact that over 54 per centum of the entire corps are men who are serving in the second, third or fourth enlist- ment; while during the past fiscal year there were no men who did not re-enlist at the ex- piration of their term of service, excluding three whose re-enlistment was declined as not advisable in the interests of service. In recognition of the faithful services rendered | by the highly educated and efficient men of the signal corps, and in accordance with the spirit and letter of the law providing that surplus vacancies in the grade of second lieutenants in thearmy shall be filled from competent en- listed men, the chief signal officer has se- results in part from the recommendation of an inerease in the pay of the assistant lcevore, who are charged with imy mnt duties, de- man a high order of technical and scientitio know! who receive ouly $1,800 yearly, the salary of a fourth-ciass clerk, The services of several distinguished meteorologists have been already lost, and the coutinned service of #uit- able scientists are only to be assured by salaries P ‘thonate to the work. The professor has a 'y of $4,000 and his assistants should re- ceive from $2.00 to $3,000, according to length and efficiency of service. The increase also in- cludes an addition of $5,000 to the signal ser- vice appropriation, which has been asked in order that not only may the current juire= ments for Signaling in the army be suitably met, but that the bureau may be enabled to comply with the most reasonable requests of the major general commanding, for telephones, telegraphic and other material for the proper: ment of artillery practice grou eo- pecially those connected with the coast sy tem of fortifications approved by Congress, These estimates are $247,150.86 lees than those for 1888. at which time the present chief sigual officer assumed charge of the burean. This is also a reduction of €¥1,209.63 as compared with the amount appropriated for the fiscal year ending Juae 30, 188s. UNIFORMS. The attention of the Secretary of War is called to the fact that Congress for a number of years has failed to make provisions for the uniform of the enlisted men of the signal and an estimate for this purpose is again sub- mitted. The uniform adopted is quiet and un- obtrusive, so that its wearer is not prominent through dy and showy trappings. It ie obvious that government officials, when serv- ing on such duty as brings them in direct and daily contact with the general public, should have some distinguishing dress for the of persons seeking official information. TENURE OF OFFICE. It has been the unpleasant duty of the ebief signal officer to invite the attention of bis superiors to officers of this corps who are physically and mentally unfitted to perform the duties in connection with the work of the service, But as regards mental unfitness it was decided that there was no legal method of retiring such officers, Lt ig certainly an anom- alous and extraordinary condition of affaira when a temporary copyist at £600 cannot be appointed without a rigid mental examination, while it is held that mental deficiencies are no bar to the life tenure of superior officers charged with important public duties. Incom- petent and inefticient officers, able only to per- form simple routine duty, are worse than use- less. They are a tax on the country, a draw- back to the corps and they demoralize the unfortunate enlisted men who serve under or with them. THE REORGANIZATION AND REDUCTION OF TIE SIONAL CORPS is urged on the grounds of justice, efficiency and economy. Instead of the 20 officers now authorized by law the duties could be per- formed by 13, provided they were competent. ‘The signal corps, besides its chief, should have 2 majors, 5 captains and 5 first lieutenants, The grade of second lieutenant should expire and the first licutenants be recruited, by com- petitive examination, from the line of the army from otticers of fuar years’ service. Promotion should be made only after examination; a rule indispensable to the success of an} charged with technical duties, and wh contributed so much to the great efficiency and high professional standing of the corps of engineers, ordnance and medical departments, The force of enlisted men, which by existing law is fixed at 470, although appropriations are made for only 315, should be reduced to 200, cousisting of 5 first sergeants, with the pay of hospital stewards, 50 sergeants, 50 corporala and 50 privates, with their present pay. The duties now performed by the remaining 116 men couid economically devolve on civiham assistants, THE BASE BALL BROTHERHOOD. Mr. Michael Scanlon Thinks it Wil Not be Able to Support Itsel Mr. Michael Scanlon, one of the stockholder of the Washington bese ball club, on being asked by a Svar reporter this morning his Opinion of the base ball situation, said: “Iu my opinion, as I have said all along, the brotherhood will not be able to support exist- ence for any length of time. They have not, by any means, all the members they claim. Young men with years of pleying abead of them will prefer to play where they know that pay day is asure thing. Though the brotherhood may hold out promises of bigger money, they have not the capital back of them to make it certain, Moreover, man will think twice before he will | decide onastep that will prevent him from | ever playing ball with any of the associations, for all the leagues are in a national agreement, and any man leaving any of them now will be black-balled and barred from any future con- wection with them. THE PLAYERS’ ORIEVAVNCES. “The only grievances the brotherhood have,” continued Mr. Scanion, “tare on the salary ques tion and regarding the sale of players. And yet many of the players who have been taans- jerred have sanctioned the transaction by claiming and receiving part of the purchase money. Many members of the brotherhood have joimed for the sake of the social advan- tages, and when it Stow vital issue they will not care to go with it. Last year Manager Soden of the Bostons gave #20,000 for four Detroit meu, and has paid them big salaries besides, Do you suppose he would have done this if he thought these men could leave him within a year? Jam sure the courts will sus- tain these contracts and enjom the men from playing anywhere els« than with Boston. ANOTHER SIDE TO THE STORY. “The brotherhood talk about the big money in base ball management and cite New York, Chicago and Boston, but they fail to mention any of the clubs that are known to lose money, 1am sure they have neither the ability or cap~ ital to make a success of a losing club, as Man- ager Soden did with Boston. it takes enter- prise, hard work and lots of money to make @ successful team. The brotherhood only tell one side of the story. George Flint thinks he has a grievance against the Chicago club and does his best to Lurt it. Yet the truth is that Spaiding has retained him at a good salary, al- though his days of playing are really over and better men could be had for less money, simply because be has been a good player and it is now too late for him to make & success in any other business, “Of all the poor statements of grievances I have ever seen I think the manifesto of the brotherhood was the poorest, They say the league is playing for the dollars and watching gate receipts. Do they think they can play any other way and make a success of at? Again they say they want to take the game out of the influence of gamblers. It is a fact that four years ago three of our men were shown to be working into the bands of a pool room on D street. If that is the way they do in spite of all restraints what will they do when they are their own masters? When the league meets next Monday the managers will ack each player personally whether he wiil play with the Jeagag or brotherhood, and then the conditions be definitely understood. THE EFFECT ON WASHINGTON. “Washington,” said Mr. Scanlon, *‘will net lose more than three or four players. Mack, Daly, Hoy and Keefe are sure to stay, and with this nucleus it will not be difficult to fill up the team with good men from the minor or from outside sources, The brot! ex pect to make a large amount of money to divide among themselves. They are calculating om having the same patronage the present league has had. When hope = sees eee in Boston they will a well-eq team in the field and even if they divide the crowds equally they cannot afford to pay thing like the salaries the present lected two sergeants distinguished for moral standing, high character and marked executive ability. whose names will be presented as fit- ting representatives for such promotion.
