LONDON, Oct. ga conference of the
Tories was held at Bradford to-day. There
we're 800 delegates present. The conference
adopted the imperial federation article OF
Conservative faith. Lord Churchill, speak
ing on motion proposing the approval or
Beaconsfeld's Eastern policy, said the Gov
eminent would follow that policy as the
changed conditions of European affairs
would allow. A heated discussion took place
over the women suffrage question, after
which the previous question was carried. A
resolution was adopted expressing confidence
that the Government would follow Beacons-
fields policy, and would vigilantly guard
British interests against Russian aggression
and especially prevent the seizure of Con-
stantinople.
The Times hopes that Lord lddesleigh, For
eign Secretary, will tell Washington, the
French ambassador, plainly and firmly that
England will judge for herself when her task
in Egypt is finished.
In a speech made last night Lord Ran
dolph Churchill said that the official ac-
counts reaching the Government of the
social condition and prospects of Ireland are
of an encouraging character. There is q
good harvest and a marked recovery in
prices, and from all we can learn, though
accurate information is difficult to obtain,
rents are being generally paid. Throughout
the country the landlords have helped great
ly to lessen the difficulties of the crisis,
though they belong to a body of men that
had never met with over much justice in
England and therefore were justified in
standing out for their complete rights and
strict letter of the law. They have generally
made very large reductions, and the Gov
eminent is immensely indebted to them for
the generous spirit which they have dis
played. The Irish tenants also have coop
Grated in single manner toward the res
toration of order.
The separatist party i'll the House of Com
mons predicted that a terrible time was COM
ing in Ireland. Nothing of the kind has &C.
Cured or is likely to occur, although there
are still isolated districts in Ireland where
terrorism and crime are rampant, which may
call for special treatment. With this excep-
ton there is a marked decrease in crime and
disorder. The people are rapidly appreciat-
ing the full significance of the last appeals
to the electors, and will gradually shape their
political and social action in accordance
Herewith. If the Unionists firmly follow up
the victory they have gained, l think we may
conclude, without any doubt, that the ques-
ton of the maintenance or repeal of the I'm
ion is settled for at least two generations.
LONDON, Oct. 26.-Details have been re-
ceived of q massacre of native Christians of
Uganda, Africa, by order of King Mwanga.

The fate of these unfortunates
did not serve to brighten the candidates for
baptism, and within a week after Tie massa-
ere many natives were baptized at their own
desire. Leaflets containing extracts from
Scripture. prayers and sacred songs in the
people, although their possession involves the
dhnger of punishment.

pathetic narrative of his experiences in Uganda
up to the day of his death.
