the Inuoko river region continues.
Fifty small boats loaded with prospect

ahead of the stampeders; but most of
'hose eo route now are pioneers and
inured to the chances that must
be taken on such an expedition as this
one.

a native woman killed by h Hon had
been partly eaten by another native

that he had eaten of the woman's dead
body, the excuse being that he had pur

The archbishop of Canterbury Is pri

takes precedence of the archbishop of
.York, who Is only "primate of Eng

made several centuries ago on account
of a very bitter dispute arising between
the two functionaries as to which
should precede the other. The matter
was settled by conferring precedence
upon the archbishop of Canterbury, the
two titles being also bestowed at the
game time.
