Foreign Missions.

Twenty-three years ago Rev. DR..
Mackay opened a mission in HJorth
Formosa. There was neither a church
nor chapel, nor native Christian. Now
there are sixty organized native
churches, four of them self supporting,
a living baptized membership of 2.719,
a communion roll of 1905 and each of
the sixty churches is ministered to by
a trained native preacher.
At the watch night services held in
the M. e. Church, Dharamtala, India,
reports were given Of thirty different
departments Of work carried On in Cal
cutta. Work is done in five different
languages, and for many different
classes of people. Two European Or
phanages and an industrial home for
Europeans representing the benevolent
work done for Europeans and Eura-
SLAMS.
The chiefs of Natal are doing all in
their power to hinder the natives from
attending the services of the missiona-
ries. Native ministers and teachers
are prosecuted and banished far from
their associates. Those who allow ser
vices Co be conducted in their huts are
driven away, and some who attend are
fined for doing so. Strange conduct,
surely, to be practiced in a British
colony.
A brilliant Oxford student who went
to Africa and died after a years work,
said, before starting, to a friend who
urged him not to risk his life: IT think
it is with African missions as with the
building of a great bridge; you know
how many stones have to be buried in
the earth, all unseen, for a foundation.
If Christ wants me to be of the unseen
stones, lying in an African grave, I am
content"
Bishop Whipple says that after
Charles Darwin returned from his visit
to heather lands he wrote thus: THE
men whodenounce missions forget that
human sacrifices, infanticide, bloody
wars and cannibalism disappear with
the advent of Christianity. A voy-
ager wrecked on an unknown shore
might well be thankful If these heather
folk had received the teaching Of Jesus
Christ"
The Students Missionary Conference
which was held in Liverpool in Janu-
airy, was attended by SIS British dele
gates, go foreign, $50 missionaries and
representatives of missionary societies,
AZ of which belong to the leading evan
gelical associations. There was a total
attendance of 915 students; 213 were
volunteers from the mission field, and
134 were women. Twenty-four differ
ent nationalities were represented.

A BOMB To KILL FAURE
EXPLODED WHILE THE PRESIDENT
OF FRANCE WAS PASSING.
Man In the Crowd known ms Gallet,
Under Arrest as the rime
Mover.

Paris. June 14.-An attempt was made
to assassinate Felix Faure, presi-
! dent of the French republic. while he
was en- route to Longchamps to witness
the grand prix.
While NJ. FaGre's carriage was pass
| ing a thiCket near La Cascade reStau-
rant in the Bots de Boulogne, a bomb.
which subsequently proved to be piece
of tubing about six inches long and two
inches in diameter, with a thickness OF
half an inch, charged with powder and
swan shot, exploded
No one was injured by the explosion.
A man in the crowd, suspected as the
prime mover, was arrested. He gave
his name as Galet and made only the
briefest replies to questions put to him
by the police. Gallet said he had no
occupation, but resided at Lavalliers-
Perret. The police are making a thor
ough search of his lodgings. He is be-
lieVed to be insane, for he shouted as
the carriage passed along SO loudly as
to attract general attention in the
crowd.
The police have also made another
arrest in this case a youth, but it is
thought probable that the actual Gull
prit escaped.
News of the attempt spread like wild
fire through the city, and when NJ.
streets along the route where it was
known he would drive were crowded
with people who cheered vociferously.
1t was at first reported that the
Would-be assassin was a young man
about %, who stood in a crowd hum
dred yards or more from the race
course and discharged a pistol at M.
Faure as he drove up to the entrance,
and there was a subsequent report that
both the pistol and bomb were used.
But the police now believe the sup
posed pistol shot was the noise from
the bomb The bomb was a clumsily
made affair, to which a piece of fuse
was attached, and the fuse was prob
ably lighted by a paper fixed in the end
of a stick as soon as the head of the
procession came into view
The presumption is that the moment
the fuse was lighted the culprit fled
and in any case the bomb could not
have done much harm. In the thicket
where the police found the remnants
of the bomb they found also a pistol
upon which was engraved the words
Mort Felix Faure," and the names
Alsace-Lorraine and Cologne. Near the
pistol was a small dagger.
Bearing a similar inscription, and a
few feet away the police found a news
paper with a cartoon grossly insulting
to the president. This was connected
with Ian offensive inscription limiting at
the execution of Faure.
Several persons stated to the police
that the moment the explosion occur
red man was seen running swiftly
into TIE thicket but reports of this
character are likely to be mere conjec-
turp.

STRIKE OF FABULOUS RICHNESS.
Wire Gold Rock Found in the Fa-
nous Gregory Mine.

Denver, June ia strike of fabu-
lous richness has just been made in
the ninth level of the Gregory Bobtail
mine at Central City, Gilpin county,
this state. The real value of the ore
cannot be learned, as the operators of
the mine refuse to divulge it, and have
placed an armed guard at the mine,
but it is known that the vein struck is
two feet in width and is so full of wire
gold as to run many thousands of dol
lars to the ton. What makes the find
more interesting is the fact that the
Gregory was the first lode mine opened
in Colorado, and has been worked con-
stantly for the past 80 years 1t was
the announcement of GregOry's find in
the gulch that was afterwards named
for him that produced the rush to Col
orado in 1859. The latest strike in the
Gregory is $50 feet below the surface,
and is said by those who have seen
specimens to be the richest in the mine.
The property is largely owned by heirs
of the late ex-senator Chaffee, being
worked under lease and bond for
$3OO,00O by the Gold Coin Miners Com
pany, close corporation of New York

ing. The matters under discussion
were the projected annexation of Ha-
wall and Cuban affairs. 1t can be
stated that no important action relat-
ing to Cuba will be taken until the
new minister to Spain has been ap-
pointed and is at his post This means
that weeks must certainly elapse before
the president takes any action what
ever in relation to this government

over in connection with the Spanish
mission but the discussion was fruit

TiIImnn,s Stirring Reply.

A statement by Hoar in the senate
that honest men in the senate looked
with contempt on the charges against
the senate, drew from Tillman a stir
ring reply, in which he insisted that
Hoar was entirely mistaken. The
charges that senator's specialized in SUI
gar have been made by reputable news
paper men over their own signatures,
he said. and people wanted either the
charges disproven or the authors.
"They want to know" he shouted.
"how it is the senate can not touch
sugar without being contaminated.
Hoar responded with feeling. He said
he knew the character, purposes and
opinions of the workers on the farms
and in the work shops of Massachu-
sets. They did not sympathize with
these reckless charges against public
men. The people of other states be-
lieved as they did-that the charges
are not only preposterOus, but they are
infamous.
Tillman said he had received thous-
ands Of letters in the past 10 days
from people in the south, east and
north, and knew they did not believe
the charges We're infamous.
1--WE can not hide behind our senator
ial togas, he cried. He believed the
charges and had asked for an investi-
cation, and if the senate declined to
examine the charges it stood convicted
before the country.

MURDERED FIVE OF HIS OWN RACE

negro man named Silbey, while crazy
drunk, secured gun and started out
he came across happened to be five ne
groes. three women and two children,
and the fiend shot them down and left
them dead where they fell. He also
shot at six other negroes, who narrow
ly escaped.
AS soon as the bloody work of Sibley
was discovered the most intense excite

took to the woods, carrying his shotgun
with him, and at last accounts the mob
had surrounded him and a bloody fight
was imminent
