Statements of a Returned Missionary

Statements of a Returned Missionary.
 London, May 13.-A representative of the Associated Press to-day had an in- terview with the Rev, MT. Siorblom of the American Baptist mission in the Upper Congo, who has just returned to London. He said:
 When I left in February matters in the Upper Congo were as bad as ever. The commission which the king of the Belgians appointed to inquire into the atrocities committed, the victims be- ing natives has had almost no result. The officials are indisposed to act on missionary evidence, and only a few cases of barbarity were published. The iniquitous rubber traffic continues. When the natives are unable to obtain rubber, the state troops burn the will lages, murder the natives, and cut off their hands, which are afterwards smoked and sent to the state officials. Parts of the eqatorial district are in a state of open warfare"

A good many of them were strengthened in this way. In one of the houses I noticed a gaudy-colored pie ture from an old Christmas number of the "Graphic;" this was framed in bamboo, and stood on a rude sort of easel made of devil sticks; it was hung with bottles, four beer and half doxen soda water One of the Tommies who were with me wanted to buy it, but the owner would not part with it at any price; that picture (and bottles) was his grandmother's favorite god! There is absolutely no furniture in the only room of which the interior consists; about one-half is devoted to the family stock of goods, and the rest is bare.- The Field.

 ARGUED.
