DR.. BARBOUR TALKS.
Tells About Alleged Atrocities in Congo
Free State.

Boston, April 5-Dr. Thomas l.. Bar
bour made public. tonight. his COM
ment upon the published reply of King
Leopold to the charges made against
his, administration of the Congo Free
state.
DR.. Barbour is corresponding secre-
tary of the American Baptist Mission
ary Union ana chairman Of the con-
ference of missionary societies by
whom the charges against King Leo
pold were formerly called to the atten-
ton OF the United States government.
lie says:
I'VE wish it were possible for us to
regard this statement as proving that
the frightful reports received concern
ing conditions in the Congo Free state
under the rule of King Leopold are
without foundation. But we are un-
able, and we fancy thatt he American
people will be unable to accept these
denalS as conclusive as against the
stream of testimony which for years
past has come from residents in the
Congo state, including travellers, mis-
sionares and explorers, and from men
for n time connected with the Kings
government. The charges made in the
Belgium Parliament are as severe as
those made in the British House of
Commons. Unfortunately for the King.
it is part of the accusation brought
against him that the so-called investi-
cations made by his government are
n pretense and that the natives OF the
interior are so terror.zed that hey dare
not testify against their oppressors.
The case is ore demanding investiga-
ton by 4 court of inquiry external to
the government. Our desire is, and we
trust the desire of the American people
will be- that our government shall lend
it's aid in the promotion of such invesi-
ratiou.'

NOVEL PLAN.
Dramatic Acting as Means Of Eduea-
tion at Chicago.

Chicago. April 5.-Dramatic acting
in the school room as Il means or edu-
eating the children in history. litera =
ture and ethical truths, is the novel
pedagogical method recommended by
Mrs EmmonS Blaine in an article on
"The Dramatic in Education" which
appears In the April number of the
School Teacher. The magazine is pub
lishcd by the University Press and IS
edited by the faculty Of the school of
education which Mrs. Blaine has en-
dowcd to the extent of nearly million
dollars. The plan she suggests is be-
ing tried in the classes there.
Mrs. Blaine holds that the dramatic
instinct is strong in children and that
by careful training it may he made "a
power to construct in them stronger
and better men and women. with clear
or images and finer thoughts" This
dramatic instinct. however. Mrs. Blaine
would have worked out by the children
themselves in school room plays. She
says that there are few things on the
stage at the present time that children
should see or hear. and suggests that
theatres set aside Saturday afternoon
for plays to be given for the school
children.

Variag Commander Puts an End to
Vicksburg Discussion.

st. Petersburg, April 5.-The state
ment by Capt. Stephanoff of the Nariag
at OreSSsL on April ,, regarding the ac-
ton Of the commander of the United
States gunboat Nicksburg at Chemulpo,
Corea. was reprinted here, Tuesday. 1t
is believed the statement will put an
end to the discussion of the incident
which has been the cause Of so much
irritation in Russia.
The Seitung says:
Capt. Stephanon has done we'll to
explain the truth. 1t has never been to
plain the truth. 1t has neven hen to
Russia's interest to make enemies, al
though foolish Chauvinism often has
done so. Russia has every reason to
express her sincere thanks and recoS-
milton for the humane and noble bear
ing of every power represented at Che
mulpo."
Great preparations are being made
at st. Petersburg for the reception of
the crews of the Variag and Korietz.
Tho council has voted $500 for their en-
tertainment. Scholarships will be
founded for the children of the officers.
Lieut.. Gen. Frololf, who has been act
