fifty teams have been constantly at work

in which observing that in the judgment

dent Cleveland having already sent him

the idea that the acceptance or retention
of a minister is question to be deter
mined solely with or without reasons
assigned by the government to which he
is accredited. In this matter Lord Sails
bury says general principles are of
more Importance than the particular
case under discussion. These principles

INDIFFERENT WHISKY MEN.
They Are Not Affected by the Decision Against
the LIQUOR Trust

CHICAGO, III. Jan. II Whisky trust
stock has not been deprecated in value
by Judge Barrett's decision in the
case of the people against the
North River Refining Company, other
wise the sugar trust of New York.
1t appears that the whisky trust at its in
ception secured copy of the sugar COM
bination, but that the attorneys
picked it to pieces, removing the
weak points and bolstering it up
in anticipation of just such an emergency
as is now presented. Doubtless that is
the reason the whisky men are so uncon-
cerned. Mr.. Abel of the Phoenix Distil-
lery Company speaking of the matter to-
day said:
'The whisky trust did not fashion its
charter after the sugar trust, although it
may be similar Whether it is like it or not
is of very little concern to US, as we
think there is little if any fear of law on
the subject reaching us. We are not
worried one bit.

ZANZIBAR, Jan. IL .-Advices have been.
received from the interior that in Octo-,
Der last Mwanga, king of Uganda, plot
ted to destroy his entire body guard, his
intention being to abandon them on an
island in Lake Nyanza, where they would
starve to death. The guards, who had
been forewarned of the kings in
tentions refused to enter the
canoes which were to convey
them to the island, but returned to the
capital and made an attack on MWanga's
palace. The king fed to escape the fury
of the guards and his brother, Kiwewa,
was enthrOned in his stead. KiWeWa
appointed Christians to the principal
offices. This enraged the Arabs who
murdered many of the Christian officials
and replaced them with Mohammedans.
The Arabs burned the English and French
mission stations and killed many of the
converts to Christianity. The mission
boat Eleanor, in which some of the
persons who had been converted by
French missionaries was fleeing,
was struck by a hippopotamus
and sank, five Of the converts being
drowned. Many letters for Emin Bey
and Henry NJ. Stanley were destroyed by
the burning of the missionary station.
The missionaries have reached Usamboip
in safety. The Mesalala depot is safe.
Mwanga is a prisoner at Maguo. He has
appealed to the English missionaries for
assistance. The Arabs have written to

umph and prophesying the extinction of

Lieut.. o. NJ. Carter Exone rated.

The Secretary of War has received the report
of Col. Hughes, inspector general, who was de-
tailed to investigate the charges preferred
against Lieut.. o. NJ. Carter, engineer corps, in
charge Of the river and harbor improvements
in Florida and Georgia. These charges were
of corrupt practices and bribery, and were pre-
ferred by W. X. Curtis, at one time employed
under Lieut.. Carter. The report completely
exonerates the officer and declares the charges
to be a traItorous and dastardly attack upon
an innocent man. Col. Hughes thinks that, in
asmuch as the government is not blessed with
very many servants who exhibit the zeal and
expend the energy that Carter has done in the
work at Savannah, great care should be taken
to protect those it has from abuse. His report
is very lengthy and has been approved by his
superiors.
