Cruelties in Western Africa,

London, May Ex-Governor Wahis, Of
Congo Free State, has a column letter
in The Times controverting the state
ments recently made by Missionary
Sjobloms, in this city, at public meet
ing at Exeter Hall, where the subject
of western African Christian missions
was under consideration. He admits
the truth of many Of the charges. such
as the mutiIations and the severing Of
hands by the soldiers. which, he says.
is native custom extremely difficult
to eradicate. He admits that an at
tack was made on the village Of Man.
dakaVagigs, and that many cruelties
were practiced there. But he declares
that all these offenses have either been
punished or are being investigated. The
letter is, on the whole, less a denial of
the offenses imputed by the mission
aries than justification of the Congo
administration.

Pittsburg, May S1.-An anarchist pic
mic at grove near Glenwood was raid
ed yesterday by the police and Al men
taken prisoners. The charge preferred
against the prisoners is disorderly con-
duct and breaking the city ordinance
which prohibits the sale Of beer on a
picnic ground. 1t is claimed that lot
teries were also in operation, and sew
eral rifles and a large lot of bullets
were captured, which the men said
were to be used in a shooting gallery
that had not been erected at the time
of the raid. The picnic was being held
in celebration of the release from pris-
on a few days ago of Henry Bauer and
Carl Mold, who did time for melting
riot at Homestead at the time of the
big strike at that place.

THE STRIKING cUNVIcTS.
Warden Hale Declares He VIII Starve
Them into Submission.


Gan Francisco, May 31.-Another
serious outbreak occurred among the
rebellious convicts of San Quentin
prison on Saturday evening. Seven
hundred prisoners, who refused to
work In the jute mill on Thursday.
complaining of the prison diet. and
who had been since confined o. bread
and water diet, made q combined at
tack on the handful of guards. The
latter turned their rifles on the mall
contents. seriously wounding several.
The outbreak was quelled after hot
fight lasting only few minutes.
The riotous convicts caused no seri-
GUS trouble yesterday, but they are
still defiant and vaguely threaten that
they will yet compel the authorities
to yield to their demands. Warden Hale
is confident that the backbone Of the
strike has been broken, and thinks
that he will soon starve the unruly
men into submission. They are closely
watched and the guards are instructed
to instantly suppress any attempts at
organized disturbance. During the
regular exercises yesterday some of the
conviots not implicated in the strike,
but sympathizing with the leaders,
pelted the doors Of the dungeons where
the men on short rations are confined
with potatoes and pieces of bread and
in this way managed to give them
considerable food before the very eyes
of the keepers.
Shouting and hammering on the
doors was continued all day, but those
who approached within hearing dis
tance were greeted with the vlivat
curses. The men declare that they will
never submit to discipline again, and
the officials are fully aware that 1t
will be a difficult task to restore tran
guilty. Warden Hale declares that
there is no foundation in fact for the
complaints regarding the quality of
food served. He thinks this charge is
merely a pretext for the convicts' re-
fusing to work in the jute mill, and
positively declares that, having quelled
the first outbreak he is now master Of
the situation.

ANOTHER BROKEN LEVEE.
Result Of Overconfidenoe and Relsxa.
etOn of Vigilance.

,ss. eion OF Vigilance.
New Orleans. May d.-A crevasse
resulting from overconfidence and re-
taxation of vigilance, occurred at 8
o'clock yesterday morning in the levee
at Conrad's Point. four miles by rail
below Baton Rouge, on the east side
Of the Mississippi river. At o'clock in
the morning information was received
at Baton Rouge that the levee at Con-
RAIDS sugar house was leaking badly.
and that a crevasse was likely to oc-
cur at any moment. There had been q
feeling of almost perfect security
throughout that section, and the
thought of a crevasse had not entered
into the calculation of things likely to
take place. There were laborers within
call. as they had all been discharged
and sent to their homes.
The levee authorities at Baton
Rouge hastily gathered together a
force of men, and placing them on
barges Of material. hastened to the
scene Of danger. Shortly before the
barges arrived at the plantation the
levee burst with a loud report and the
water, in stream 40 feet wide and 7
deep, began pouring through the
breaks and spreading rapidly over the
fertile lands in the vicinity. The Of
ficials of the Pontchartrain levee dis
trict and of the Illinois Central rail-
road are on hand with large forces Of
men and unlimited supplies of ma
terial, and will no doubt succeed in
closing the break before any very
serious damage is done to the ad-
jacent plantations.

Object Of the Colonial War Society.

Tho purpose OF tho Society OF Colo'
nial Wars which was organized In
this city on Saturday the officers OF
which were published in the REPUBl
LICAN of that day. is set forth in
the charter of the general society Of the
Colonial Wars, as well as in the state char
ter as "perpetuating the memory OF Colo
NAL events and of the brave and worthy
men who in military, naval and civil posi-
tions of trust and responsibility, VINO, py
their acts or counsel, assisted in the estab-
lishment, defence and maintenance oil the
American colonies and in the founding OF
the nation; collecting and preserving colo
nial relics, records, manuscripts, roles or
other documents; providing suitable COM
memorations or memorials relating to the
American colonial period, and inspiring IN
its members the fraternal and patriotic
spirit of their forefathers, and in the COM
munity regard and reverence for those
whose public services made our freedom
and unity possible"
A special and diligent effort of the So
ciety will be, as explained at the meeting,
to collect and preserve records, original
documents or other papers and articles
connected with our colonial history; ana
all persons having any knowledge or
the existence and either private or public
possession of such, will render valuable
aid to the society by informing Judge
Bradford, the historian Of the society, OF
either their nature and contents or their
personal custody.
Delaware has been unfortunate in the
destruction or loss of her colonial records
and documents. In 1922 or 1924 many were
destroyed by fire in New Castle; whilst at
the time of the battle of Brandywine in
1777. many more were carried away by the
British which are now lost to our state.
Our colonial and other records have also
been very carelessly kept by some of our
state officials in the past. Among our state
archives few public records and papers OF
the revolutionary era are now to be found,
and none of Importance relating to our CO.
lonial period.
From the date of our separation in 1904
from Pennsylvania to IVA there is no
printed, written or other evidence, in Della
ware of those who were elected to our Leg
islature between those dates. Judge Grubb
states that he has succeeded in finding a
list outside Of Delaware, and which is
chiefly in private possession, of the mem
bers of our Assembly from 1885 to 1774.
Since the latter date said members are all
given in Scharfs history of Delaware.
To have accomplished this much for the
society is an encouraging beginning, and if
those who have information in respect to
colonial documents and relics will inform
Judge Bradford the newly-organized soci-
ETY. of Colonial Wars in Delaware,by means
of such aid and their own earnest endeav-
ors will doubtless prove one of our states
useful and valued historical institutions.

She's coming in little while.
She tolls me when call.
She can I come now-I can but smile
For Dolly's had fall,
And Dolly can't bu left, you know,
Because she's apt to cry,
Which wouldn't do. of course, and SO
She's coming by and by.
She's very, very busy now,
And will have to wait,
She says, with pretty, wrinkled brow,
Because it's getting late.
And really she will have no time
She shakes her curly head
With such soemnity it seems sublime
Till Dolly goes to bed.
Another time ] call to her,
But still she's not impressed,
And poutingly does she demur,
For Dolly must he dressed.
Sweet Dolly is her foremost thought,
And there is little doubt

Meeting at Denver,

Meeting at Denver.
Denver, Colo. May 3l.-The cores
pondence at headquarters of the in
ternatonal gold mining convention to
be held in Denver July 7, s and 3
shows that great interest has been
awakened throughout the entire United
States, particularly among practical
mining people and those interested in
mining enterprises The delegations
thus far appointed from the states are
composed of representative men of
business and industries
Delegates named in New York city
represent mining and financial organi-
cations. Georgia makes inquiry con-
cerning space for an exhibit from her
gold fields. California's delegations will
embrace many of the noted magnates
of the country, and that state has
under consideration an extensive
exhibit of its mineral products
while inquiries and applications for
space are coming in from many min
ing centers of the west 1t is now as
sured that the gathering will be an
aggregate representation Of the genius
and wealth devoted to the production
OF the precious metals in North
America, while representatives of the
South American republics have given
assurances of their attendance. The
exceedingly low railroad rates insure
an immense gathering from the east
and west.

00RDY SOUGHT T0ESCAPE.
He Offered to Pay $4,000 to Waterman
for Help in Regaining His Freedom.

GEORGETOWN, Del, May 3O-A few
nights ago Jas. NJ. Gordy, who is to be
hanged here June II for wife MURDER call
ed the jail Waterman to him and offered
to pay 81 900 if the watchman would help
him to escape. He said the money was
ready AS soon ms morning came the
watchman reported the matter to Sheriff
johnson.
The sheriff has drawn the special jury
which Is to be present at the hanging, as
the law requires that jurymen drawn for
such cases shall be given ten days notice.
Three of them live in this town and the
remaining nine are from other parts Of
Sussex county.
Massrs Charles T. Purnel and George
W. Hatfield of Georgetown and exSheritf
Eli r. Sharp of Lcwes have been selected
by the Sheriff to take the prisoner from
his cell tU the scaffold on the day of exeCu.
ton. Mr.. Sharp was Sheriff when Joseph
Burton cOlored, was hanged here about
twenty five years ago.
As the time for the execution draws
near the relatives Of Gordy seem to realize
more keenly tho situation and have renew
ed their efforts to savo the prisoners neck,
but from present appearances all their
hopes will be blasted, as the Governor has
refused to interfere in any way with the
sentence Of the court.
GOfuy seems uncOncerneu ana says he
is only glad that the time is so near. He
sent messages to two marble cutters at
Laurel few days ago, saying that he
wanted a ''hundred- dollar monument"
erected over his grave in the family bury
ing ground near Laurel, but Unless the
family sees fit to comply with his request
it is likely that his desire will not be car
ried out by the marble cutters, as they
learned later that Gordy had no money to
pay for tho work. ss.syi
1t is reported on good authority that the
missing satchel, which was found few
days ago, and which was SO much desired
during the trial, contained several articles
belonging TO woman and might have
given more light on the case had it been
found in time.
George w Hatfield was in the jail yard
laying off the ground and taking measure.

While he was performing this duty Gordy
stood at little iron window which over
looked the jail yard and watched his every
