STANLEY AND THE MISSIONARY soCII


LONDON, May 2S.-The Baptist Missionary
society gave breakfast to-day to Mr.. Henry NJ.
Stanley, the African explorer. Rev. Mr.. Com
ber, of the Congo mission, bore testimony To
the great services rendered by Mr.. Stanley in
the cause of Christianity, civilization and com
merce. He also spoke of the honorable and
even kind treatment OF the natives OF Africa by
Mr.. Stanley. An address i'm the nature OF
eulogium was then formally presented by the
Baptist Missionary society 10 their guest. Mr..
Stanley said that he was glad 10 have had the
opportunity OF helping the missionaries and OF
obtaining in return their help TO teach the
natives. Mr. Stanley urged the society 10 be
very careful about the kind of men they sent
missionaries to Africa. "Do moi" he said,
''send young men, without first having taught
them the practical life necessary To success, the
same as you teach children you wish TO live
long. Dead missionaries are OF no more value
than other dead men. Gordon, dead, is value
less. Ii he had lived the civilization OF the
Soudan, which received its death blow i'm Cor
don S murder, would have been dawning."

\ despatch from seattle, W. r., sa,s
The steamer Evanpcl brings intelligence
of Il terrible tragedy which occurred on
Shaws Island, san Juan county. last Mon
day. James Barker had gone for hunt
on the island and not returning after II
lapse of ten days, Sheriff Kelly of san
Juan county, organized party to search
for him. They arrived mt the cabin of one
Hugh Parks, an eccentric individual, who
refused them admission or even drink
of water. The men, being suspicious,
formed an ambush and watched the cabin.
After some time Parks was seen to emerge
from the cabin, dragging the body of II
dead man, which was afterward found to
be that of the missing Barker. Parks
again secured himself in the cabin. For
three days the cabin was closely watched,
not sign of life within being manifested
At last Wilbur Wilson, one of the sher
ifs party, volunteered to enter the cabin
and as he stepped into the doorway Parks
shot him dead The sheriff and his men
then set fire to the building, burning it to
the ground. Parks body was found in
the ruins. 1t is thought that he was
crazy.

A message has been received from the

The Mahdi said he had no desire to fight
the English, but unless they embraced
