EUROPEANS MASSACRED.
BY Africans and the Factories Looted
and Employees Murdered.

liverpool, October 1.-THE steamer
Niger, which arrived today from
Southwest Africa, brings news of the
of Lieutenant Guise, German
commissioner at Rio del Rey, near
Old Calabar river, on the right of
Baifra, and also of Herr Leemeyer, a
German trader, together with 100 native
soldiers and carriers. constituting an
expedition formed by Lieutenant Guise
to Quell disturbances near Cross river,
which forms the boundary between
British and German territory there.
"A native chief was taken as a guide,
but he led the expedition into an am
bush. He was promptly shot when THE
Germans received a volley. They
fought coura geously, but were out
numbered and slain.
The natives then looted the neighbor-
ing factories and murdered the native
employees, after which they crossed
into British territory. Two British
traders, who were warned, had a mar
row escape, managing to get down the
river in a canoe and to reach Rio del
Rey, where they found only a solitary
German official and a half dozen black
soldiers.
Great excitement prevailed at Rio
del Rey when the Niger left on Sep
tember 18th, as it was thought the ma
tives might come there.
News has been sent to the Cameroons
from which point, a German relief ex-
petition could be dispatched.

ARCHBISHOPS.
In Annual Conference Philippine
Matters Not Discussed.

Washington, October 12.-The annual
conference of the archbishops of the
United States was held at the Catholic
university today. All but three of the
clergy of that rank attended. Arch
bishop Feehan, of Chicago; Hennessy,
of Dubuque, and Chappelle, of New
Orleans, were the absentees.
Contrary to expectation, the question
Of dissertation of the Catholic churches
in the Philippines was not brought up.
This and other Philippine issues, it was
explained, are within the jurisdiction
of Archbishop Chappelle and all mat
tiers affecting those islands must go to
him. Subsequent to the meeting it
was announced that there had been no
questions of unusual moment under
consideration and no action reached on
any matter Of public interest. 4

AS VISITORS SEE Us.
a Veteran Commercial TraveIlerTa Talks
of His Impressions of Wilmington
and North Carolina Business Condi-
tons.

Mr.. J. B. Timberlake, a popular COM
mercial traveller, representing Botchel-
der & Lincoln, of Boston, spent yes
terday and last night in the city. To
a Messenger representative Mr.. Tim
ria said last night that he believes
the general trade conditions in this
state are as active as any in the south.
In fact, hat barring Texas, there is
scarcely one of the southern states that
is equal to North Carolina IN general
business activity. He is in a position
to know, too, travelling as he does, the
entire south. Speaking along the same
line, Mr.. Timberlake also said that he
is impressed with the excellent busi-
ness conditions in Wilmington n de-
clared his belief that they are equal,
if not superior, to any in this or ad-
jacent states. He says he has been
visiting Wilmington regularly for fiji
teen years and never knew a place to
take more rapid strides thar this city
has since November, 1898.
