A MOHAMMEDAN UPRISING.

French papers have received news from
the Upper Congo that the large Mohamme-
dan population inhabiting that region, ex-
cited, probably, by stories of Ell Mahdi's sue
cess, have resolved to to assert their claims
to the centre of Africa The i'm
mediate occasion of this extraordinary
movement is said to have been the conduct Of
one of Henry M. Stanley's ivory expeditions.
This expedition and the convoy guarding it
were commanded by an agent of the Interna-
tional African association. Instead of descend
ing the Congo river with its valuable collec-
ton of ivory to Stanley Pool and Vivi the ex-
petition proceeded, under the protection of a
powerful Arab chief named Tipu Tab, east
ward to reach Zanzibar. Tipu Tab had not
known of the existence of such an abundance
of ivory in the interior until he saw proofs of
it in the rich stores gathered by this expe-
dition, and as soon as he had discharged
his task as escort and learned all he could,
he raised powerful army and pro-
ceeded into the interior. The stories about
FL Mahdi and his expulsion of the English
from the Soudan are supposed to have
been carried 10 the turbulent Mohammedans
by Tipu Tab, and it is feared they may make
it very difficult for the International African
association to carry out its projected work of
establishing the free state of Congo.
Tipu Tabs army is exceedingly strong
Three thousand of his soldiers, it is said, are
armed with modern rifles. This army, the
report states, is now advancing, making its
way by pillage and massacre. Arawina sta
zion has been sacked and destroyed. The
negroes who inhabited it fed in panic be-
fore the attack Tipu Tab has proclaimed
the Congo as territory belonging to the sui
tan of Zanzibar, and he has announced his
intention to suppress all opposition to
this claim. The country around Lake
Tanganyika is at present the center of the
movement started by Tipu Taib but it
is thought that all the Mohammedan
races living in the belt OF territory running
thence in both directions across the conti-
nent will be seized with the new fanatcsm
which promises such wealth and power for
them

A MINISTERIAL CRISIS PROBABLE.

The British parliament adjourned for
fortnight on the 22d.
Some of the London papers consider the
ministerial crisis as highly unfavorable to the
Gladstone government, but the prudent eau
tious and well informed Telegraph simply
puts the matter thus: at was generally
stated in parliamentary circles yester-
day that although serious differences dis
closed themselves in the cabinet with respect
to parliament and the renewal of the Irish
Cri mes act, those have for the moment been
accommodated. 1t is considered not improb-
able, however, that this vexed question will
lead to a ministerial crisis later in the ses-
SION" A majority of the ministers have left
London for the Whitsuntide recess.
