ATROCITIES IN TIE CONGO.
Mr.. whyte Declares Them fragrant Violation
of the Berlin Convention.
(By the Associated Press }

(By the Associated Press.)
London, May 14-Robert Whyte, the
representative in England of the Ameri-
can Presbyterian church, has given out
the reply of Rev William Morrison, Of
Lexington, Va, to the letter addressed
to him by Mr. Houdret, Consul General
Of the Congo independent State in London.
Rev. Mr.. Morrison is a member of the
American Presbyterian mission. He re
Gently made public here charges of tyran-
meal behavior on the part of the whites
in the Congo over the native population.
To these charges Mr. Houdret replied, say
ing in part:
"Your allegations would have been more
serviceable if they mad been made direct
to the authorities at Brussels who de-
sire to repress abuses if any have been
committed"
In the letter made public by Mr.. Whyte,
Mr.. Morrison says he did not mention the
matter of abuses in the Congo while he
was in Brussels because the State off
Gals at Bona had just concluded an in
vestigation and had reported that the
charges were exaggerated, consequently
no more could be done and he did not
believe protests on behalf of the natives
oil the Congo would be officially noticed
if submitted to Belgium.
Mr. Whyte in giving out Mr. Morrison's
letter, says King Leopold was appealed to
in 1900 by Mr.. Morrison who called attcn-
ton to the atrocities committed on Congo
natives. This appeal was acknowledged
by the chief of the cabinet, who said the
matter was already being investigated. Mr.
Whyte says further:
1.-THE investigation and the punishment
alike were travesty on justice. No Won
der an appeal has been made to the heart
and conscience OF the people of England
and America. The crimes to which Mr..
Morrison calls attention are the outcome
of a system of treatment of the natives
which is a fragrant violation of the Ber-
lin convention The rights of natives and
traders are invalid, hence the interests
of commerce, humanity and religion claim
the attention Of the governments of Great
Britain and the United States"
