to whom reference has been made, the
present indebtedness will be largely re-
duced, if not fully paid at once.
10 you who have so literally aided in
this work can assure you of the deep
gratitude of this parish and of this COM
munity of loyal, temperate, and law
abiding citizens, and of the generations
yet unborn.
In behalf Of such beneffciaries, in be-
half Of the building committee, to whom
you have shown such consideration, you
have the warmest of thanks. Today the
building committee, composed of nine
members of the parish renders it's account
of its stewardship, and cheerfully sur
renders the keys of this house of worship
to the worthy chairman of the parish
committee, with this hope, that in the
present, as well as in the time to come,
it can be said of this sanctuary: This
and that man was born in her; and may
the Highest Himself establish her, -
MR.. HENRY F. MERRILL,
the chairman of the parish committee &C.
| cepted the keys of the church from Mr..
Thompson, the chairman of the building
committee, in very able speech In
taking these keys Mr.. Merrill said that
the parish could never express Its graft
| tude to the gentlemen composing this
committee for the work they had done in
sighting their own business and their
own comfort to take this church possibili-
| ty. The speaker said that the one senti-
| ment expressed by those who had seen
this church for the first time today was
that of It's beauty and completeness and
| in the years to come those who will &C.
cupy it will feel the great debt OF graft
| tude they owe to those nine gentlemen Of
the building committee who made this
beauty and this completeness which is
| now so much admired possibility. Then
Mr.. Merrill dwelt for some time upon
what the parish owes the pastor of this
church Rev. Mr.. Wright for his untiring
efforts in building this home for his flock
He said that 1T was proud day for Mr..
Wright to witness the fruition OF his
hopes and see the dedication Of this edi-
| flee for which he has SO patiently and
devotedly labored. Mr.. Merrill went on
to say that this parish was also deeply
indebted to those citizens Of this city
who have so generously aided the build
| ing committee with money and he wished
that it was possible for them to under
stand how very grateful the parish of the
ST. Lawrence church was to them for
all that they had done. The speaker said
that this church is not rich man q
church, neither is It poor mans church
but 1T is church for each and every per
son who desire to attend the services
which are to be held therein and he hoped
that all of the residents Of MunJoy hill in
particular would look upon 1t as their
church and make 1t SO in fact as we'll as
in name. He said that there was room fol-
six hundred people in its pews and when
these are filed every Sunday there il
room for gallery at the end of the church
and he hoped to see the time when this
too would be built and filled every Sun.

Democrats Opposed to Civil Service Would

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The outlook
Tor changing the civil service law is
being actively canvassed among Re.
publican members of the house as re.
suit OF the conference held Saturday
night. The members of the special
committee having the matter in charge
are trying to shape bill that will com.
mand the support of a number of di-
vergent elements. One Of these is the
Democratic minority, which, combined
with the Republicans opposed to the
present law, would be strong enough
to carry bill. But in canvassing the
situation it has been found that Demo
cratic members would favor

MASSACRED IN
UPPER GUINEA
King of Benin's Subjects
Annihi1ate a British
Expedition.
The Members Said to Have Feen
Unarmed and on a Peace
able Mission.
An Acting Consul.General and Several
Military Officers Among the
Victims.

LONDON, ENG, Jan. ia dispatch
from Bonny, on the coast of Upper
Guinea, reports the massacre o: all the
memb bers of peaceful British expedition,
which left the coast about January 1, in
tending to proceed to Benin City, on the
Benin River. by way of Sapele. The ex-
pedition consisted of Acting Consul Gen
eral Phillips, Major Copeland Crawford,
Captain Boisragen, who was in command
of the force of the Niger Coast protec-
torate Captain Mailing. belonging to the
same force; Messrs. Campbell and Locke.
consular officials; DR.. Elliott, Messrs.
PoWis and Gordon, civilians, and a num-
Der of Kroomen and native carriers.
The yacht Ivy. belonging to the British
Consul has returned to Bonny and reports
that the entire expedition were killed by
the subjects of the King of Benin, which
territory is included in the Niger coast
protectorate.
A scanty unofficial report of the affair
which has reached the foreis n Office says
that the members of the expedition were
captured and not killed. The foreign
office deprecates the assumption that they
we're massacred until official advices shall
have been received. 1t is stated that the
expedition was not armed and 1t is likely
it has fallen a victim to some of the
wild tribes infesting the borders. 1t is
probable that the King of Benin will not
be involved in the matter.
