ZANZIBAR, Jan. u.-Advices have been
received from the interior that in October
last M@angs, King OF Uganda, plotted to
destroy his entire bodyguard, his intention
being TO abandon them on an island in Lake

Tae guards, who had been forewarbed Of
the Kings intentions, refused 10 enter the
GAUGES which were to convey them to the
island, but returned to the capital ard made
an attack on Mwanga's palace. The King
fed to escape the fury OF the guards and his
brother, Kiwewa, was installed in his stead
Kiwewa appointed Christians to the princi.
pal Offices. This enrsged the Arabs, who
murdered many of the Caristian Official.
and replaced them with Mahomedans. Tue

that they did not intend to permit an or

Gratis abandoned al proceedings 10 the

was greeted with derisiVe laughter. In the
Senate the democrats voted repeatedly for

prevented it. An efJrt was made to dis
solve the injunction. pat it failed on

cured by the democrats prevented

WEDNESDAYS CYCLoNE.-Though the
great storm which swept over such q great
length and breadth of territory Wednesday
had in some places the characteristics OF q
tornado or hurricane, it may be very pro-
perly described as central continental cy
clone. 1t was developed in Western Texas,
and circled thence up the Mississippi Valley
to the Atlantic coast. Ia the lake region
the velocity of the wind was. i'ty aud sixty
miles an hour, leveling houses and telegraph
poles in every direction. Ia Pennsylvania
the storm assumed ;he features of u fierce
tornado or hurricane, gathering strength as
il progressed eastw.rdy clear across the
State snd over New JERSEY to the Atlantic.
Ga reaching tne ocean the gaze passed up
t le New Eogaud coast. The tfscs in Penn
rylvania il ssid 10 have been not more than
two hundred feet wide. The different as
poets presented at different points would
seem to warrant all the descriptive adj5c
tves which have been applied to the storm.
n one place it was hurricane, in another
tornado, but most places it seems to have
been cyclone moving in immense whirls,
and at the same time sweeping onward over
q wide course.
