Massacre Of Christians in A frica.

TORTURED AND BCTCHERED BY ORDER OF KING
MWANGA OF URGANDA.
Details have been received in England of the
massacre of native Christians of Urganda,
Africa, by the order of King Mwanga The
massacre began in June, and was directly due
to the refusal of Christian lad, acting as the
kings page, to commit an abominable crime
Many Christians were tortured, mutilated and
speared, and thirty-twO were burned alive to-
gether. The appeals of the missionaries tor q
cessation of the atrocities were unavailing
The fate of these unfortunates did not deter
candidates for baptism, and within week after
the massacre many natives were baptised at
their own desire. Leaflets containing extracts
from the scripture, prayer and hymns in the
Uganda language are freely bought by the peo-
pie, although their possession involves danger
OF punishment.

Churchill said: "Otficial accounts reaching the

poets OF Ireland are of an encouraging charac-
ter. There is good harvest and q marked re-
covery in prices, and from all we can learn
rents are being fairly paid throughout the
country. Landlords have helped greatly to
lessen the difficulties OF the crisis. The frislf
tenants also have cO-Operated toward the resto-
ration of order. The separatist party in the
house OF commons predicted that a terrible
time was coming in Ireland. Mr.. Parnell in
begging letter implored American dollars in
order to prevent the wholesale determination
OF the Irish. Nothing OF the kind has occurred
or Is likely to occur, although there still iso-
lated districts in Ireland where terror and
crime are rampant"
The Right Rev. DIR. Greff protestant bishop
OF Cork, in an address TO the clergymen OF his
diocese, said: Every interest languishes;
every business is depressad; carelessness, ne
glect and despair seem to be settling upon the
people. exhOrt you not to allow prejudice to
