the high road from Hankow to

FOREIGNERS MASSACRED.

PARIS, Nov. 27. A despatch
has been received here from Pekin
which confirms the statement that
well armed bands have devastated a
whole district in the northern part
OF China, and that they have pill
LACED and burned the Belgian mis-
sion station. In addition to the
destruction of the mission stations
at Tayou and Sanchi, where over a
hundred converted natives we're
massacred by the bloodthirs.y bands,
the station at Gehol was sacked and
burned.
The priest in charge of the mis-
sion, a Belgian by birth, was killed
by the mob and several other Chris
tians were also massacred.
The natives had heretofore been
quiet, ana there was no sign in the
district that a revolt was meditated.
The local authorities therefore had
taken no steps to suppress any out
break, and when the natives rose
they met with no material opposi-
ton, for the officials were practi-
cally helpless. 1t may Lere be
stated that the local Governor in
his report of the occurrence to the
Pekin government does not place
the blame uron the natives of the
province, but attaches the RESPONSE
bility for the crimes to bands of
Mongolian robbers, who, be says,
made a raid through the district.
Whatever the truth may be the
general government has taken steps
to prevent any further outrage on
foreigners or native Christians in
the troops available were, immedi-
ately upon the receipt of informa-
ton regarding the trouble, despatch
ed to the scene of the disturbances.

THE CONFERENCE MOVED TO TEARS.
The roll ofsuperannuated preach
ers was called and their characters
passed. These are the aged saints
of the Conference who have served
God and the Church in the vieor
and strength of their manhood and
are now waiting in the quiet even
ing of life for the Master to call
them to their bright reward. Their
hoary locks are famed by breezes
from the far off hills-their ewes
catch the simmer Of the distant
city of God and in joy and delight
ful expectancy they await the sum-
mons to come up higher. The Con-
ference was moved to softness and
tears this morning as the roll of
these aged brethren was completed
with the name of Joseph Wheeler,

lessly during long ministry.
He closed with a very beautiful
and simple statement of his trust in
the goodness and mercy of God. AS
he took his seat, the conference
very appropriately and feelingly
sung:
"Een down to old age all my people shall
prove,
Ny sovereign, eternal, Interchangeable love:
And when heavy hairs shall their temples
Like latdbs they shall still in my bosom
be borne"
HELP FOR AFFLICTED MINISTER'S.
When the names of Rev. DR.. ,Jno
W. North and of Rev. J. r. Mar
tin, two of the most honore6 names
of our body, were called, it was
stated that they had both been
greatly afflicted during the year.
The Conference at once made vol
untary contribution to send to these
afflicted brethren. A company of
Methodist preachers are never too
poor to put their hands into their
pockets when one of their brethren
is in distress.
YOUNG MINISTER'S ADMITTED.
The following were admitted on
trial: N. H. D. Wilson, Kenneth
Homes, Lucius S. Massey, f. E.
Rose, Michael Bradshaw, John C.
Mccall, Jesse D. Bundy, Elias B
Wilcox, Jesse j. Porter, Major T.
Best, Jesse w. Martin and Jesse T.
Draper.
This is a class of very fine young
men. The Conference has probably
never before received a class of
young men SO we'll equipped for the
work, and so full of promise Of much
usefulness. The conference was
filled with joy when these bright
young men asked for membership in
their body. The conference was
especially glad to hear the name of
N. H. D. Wilson placed on it's min
utes. That is an honored name
among North Carolina Methodists.
1t is devoutly hoped that the man
tie of the father may fall upon the
son.
PROMINENT VISITORS.
Rev. DR.. John R. Brooks, one of
the leading members of the Western
North Carolina, and probably the
ablest preacher in the State, was
Introduced to the Conference. DR..
Brooks is great fayorite among
his brethren. He was elected presi-
dent OF the recent session of his
Conference until the delayed arrival
of the BishOn.

DR.. Morris address was one Of
thrilling power. The large audi
ence listened attentively to one of
the most intensely interesting dis
courses it was ever thier privilege to
hear. The speaker was very grace
ful in his delivery; and, at times,
rose to heights of great power and
impressiveness.
The doctor said he was always
glad to meet the North Carolina
Methodists. He loved to look into
their eyes and feel the sympathy of
their warm and loving spirits. They
always gave him a cordial, noble
Southern welcome. The great
object of the church exten-
sion board is to build new
churches in our new fields of
work. This is being done all.throueh
our land where the people are too
poor to build of themselves. Church
extension, i told them, means the
extension of the Kingdom of Christ.
That is the sole end of the work of
the board
The church buildings are abso-
lutely necessary as a condition of
the success and permanency of the
work OF the church.
The church has two great duties:
D. To work for it's own inner
health and strength and activity.
and (2) to work for those that are
without.
Under the first head he discussed
the social life of me- and his need
of a meeting place for worship and
religious fellowship with his breth-
rem. Hence the Jews were COM
manded to 60 up to Jerusalem three
times year to worship.
God puts a premium upon the
coming together of his people in
the Scripture; that 'swhere two or
three are met together in His
name" He is in the midst of them.
The church building is necessary
for this meeting and is thus the con-
dition of the very success of the
church.
Under the second head, he show
ed the need Of the house of God in
all the missionary operations of the
church.
He said that it become Methodists
to build churches everywhere be-
cause (1) they have a gospel for
every man. and because (2) their
itinerancy is suited to going every
where with the gospel.
He told the anecdote of the man
who said that the reason why no
man had ever found the North pole
was that the Methodist Bishops had
never included it any Methodist
preachers circuit; but that if they
should include it in a circuit and
appoint Methodist preacher to 1t,
he would find it Or die In the frozen

Senate Bills Saved.

LINCOLN Neb., April 4.--lSpecIal to The
BEE. THE last day of the legislative session
generally finds quite number of bills that
have been amended, discussed and put
through all the forms but the third reading
and final vote. Usually the meas
ures have been so thoroughly fought
over in committee of the whole
and the sentiment of the legislative body so
we'll determined that there are few interest
ing incidents to vary the monotony OF read
ing embryotic laws and the tediousness of
calling the roll. The house had quite an ac-
cumulatlon of senate bills awaiting the I'M
preston of more legislative vitality, and a
good share of the afternoon was spent in in
cubating the following statutory fiedglings
Eggleston's bill prohibiting the giving or
selling OF intoxlcants TO Indians; Switzler's
bill to bring the saloons in the two mile
limit around Omaha under the provisions Of
the saloon liquor law. Qt passed with the
emergency clause.) Moore's bill prescribing
the form of tax receipts; Mates bill
enabling Nebraska City to adopt
q charter similar to that of
South Omaha; Horns bill requiring state
aud county treasurtrs to deposit public
funds in designated banks. and turn the in-
terest into their respective treasures for the
public benefit; the Omaha charter bill, with
two amendments, one making the salary of
the building inspector s., 900 and the other
giving each of the three leading parties a
member of the fire and police commission
the bill to enable the people of Lincoln to
straighten Salt creek; Shea's warehouse bill.

majority of those that did follow the

Fathers Lambing and Schmeigle conducted

delivered an address in the Polish ianguagd,
c:mmending his coun trymen TO retu rn

Cruel in MaslagnScar.

LONDON, April Especial Cabegram to
The BEE. On top of the account of the
recent horrible massacre by the Hova govern
ernors of Nossive, Madagascar, comes another
story illustrating the feroclty of those peo-
ple who are nominally under French
protection 1t appears that Ranni-
silofo, Governor Of Mahanoro, had
an unfortunate native tortured In the mos Z
horrible manner because he refused to obey
him. The victim was bound TO a pole and in
that position paraded through the village for
Two whole days. When freed from the pole
he was placed in u sort of coffin, followed
from the trunk of tree, and covered with
plank in which there was nothing but small
hole Of about three inches for the victims
mouth and nose. The unfortunate native
was kept sore wed down in this. coffin not less
than two months and actually lived during
that time. He was fed through theaperture,
his relatives being permitted to give HIM
food AT length upon the payment of 100
piasters the governor allowed the
man to be released In addition to
these brutalities, Hovas are everywhere
aggressive against the French, and Euro
peans are not safe even at the port of Tama-
tave. The question whether France will en-
force it's claim of authority over the island is
becoming an important one to other nations
that have commercial interests in Madagas-
