SINNERS instructions, but there is no
reason to suppose that the negotia-
lions with Menelek II. will go beyond
that of securing favorable conditions
for the encouragement of American
trade with the Abyssinian kingdom.
This country lies in the eastern part
Of Africa, below Egypt and the Sou
dan, and is reached through the port
of Massowah, on the Red sea- Masso-
wah is under control of Italy, and the
mention Of Italy in connection with
Abyssinia recalls the comparatively re-
cent and disastrous attempt of the
former nation to enforce the terms of
the treaty of protection made in 1889
and which was abrogated by Menelek
in 1893. This was followed by the ter
rife war which is still fresh in the
memory of the republic, and which re-
suited in making Menelek and Abys-
sinia important factors in East Afri-
can affairs.
Abyssinia, which is part of the an
cient Ethiopia, claims to possess the
primitive Christianity, and boasts of
possessing the relics of st. Mark, the
evangelist. Egypt, which was once a
Christian kingdom for 295 years end
ing A. D. $40, was subsequently swal-
lowed up by the darkness of paganism,
but Abyssinia has ever held fast to
Christianity, even though distorting it
with strange superstitions and fierce
fanaticism Of even sterner savagery
than animated the old Crusaders, with
whom hatred to the heather was equiv
alent to love of God The Abyssinians
