Presbvieriaii Minister Declares
That One of Their Missionniics
Counted SL Hands Which
Had Been Cut Oil.
Iulvllle. Ky.. April 5. Doctor William
M Morrison, a Southern Presbyterian
minister to the Congo Frre State. In
speaking to the Presbyterian Ministers' As
sociation here, gave an impressive recUnl
of the alleged barbarities practiced on th
natives of the Congo State by those hold
ing the power, and of the obstacles thrown
In the way of their correction by tho au
thorities. "1 lived with the people for seven years.
I know what 1 am talking about." said
Doctor Morrison. "Leopold has there a
native cannibal army of 2H.CW men. of
ficered by v hlto Belgians' and armed with
repeating rides. These men, representing
tho worst ar.d mot savagi- tjpe of the
natives, were riist caught, then carried far
away from their homes and forced Into
this military service. There In turn, this
cannibal soldiery is used to compel the
natives to bring la enormous tribute of
ivory and India lubber. It Is north no
ting that the King of Belgium is tu-djj
reputed to be the large-t dealer In lvoty
and lubber in the world.
EAT HUMAN BEINGS.
"As a result of this forced labor and
military service, great and unspeakable
cruelties are practiced on the native peo
ple. I have seen a number of times at
least. U).W fleeing into the forests to es
cape from the cannibal .soldiers of King
Leopold. I have seen these soldiers scorn
ing through the forests, and. after catch
ing a number of men whom the Govern
ment wanted as laborer", solir avav with
tho captives tied together bv ropes iiojml
their necks. RniJs upon illac.e"i are be
ing constantly made. Some of the people
rc miieu ana eaten, otner. are cmrjed
away into captivity and sold, others aie
forced into labor and military service. I
can buy all the slaves ou want at Luebo
at from S10 to J13 apiece.
"When these, ralda are made, the mwt
awful cruelties are practiced. Innocent
women and children are killed or cap
tured, hands are cut off to be taken
back to the white Belgian officers to show
that tiie work has been well done and
great sections are beinn depopulated.
HANDS CUT OFF.
une-or these raids was made near
one of our mission stations. One of our
missionaries went to the scene and count
ed eighty-one hands cut off and drvms
oyer a fire, to be taken baik to the Bel
gian officer. Forty-IHe dead bodies were
counted lying near b.
"The Belgian Government makes the
usual stereotyped denial of all tliece
charge. I have Ken personally the Gov -ernor
of the Congo State. Ho won't do
anything. I have been In the palace of
tiie King of Belgium, and have seen the
most prominent officials of the Conso
Government. They won't do anything. The
English Government in greatly Interest

Lord Lansdowne. I preferred a statement
of such outrages as had come under ray
own observation.

Jlr. I.loyd subsequently said that ha believes-
that he e.p!esi-e3 the sentiment of

Expressions of a like nature are uttered
by the Mis'ouiians in Washington, when

Uefuses to Throw Up Hands
"lleu CoreiPd by Pistol and Is
Shot at Convicts Get Arms
and Dvnamite Outside.
RCPUBI.IC SPECIAU
JefTer-son City. Mo., April 5. The brav-ei-v
of Buck Williams, a guard in the Mis
souri Penitentiary, prevented an outbreak
there to-day of three desperate convicts
who planned to ov ercome the guards and
liberate the othr convicts, and. vhy tho
use of dvnamite, blow their way to lib
erty through the stone walls of the
stockade.
Convicts James Thornton. Peter pails
ai.d James McDonald, who were sent up
Irom Platte County for safe-blowing,
foimed the plot to escape.
The first intimation the guards had of
ah outbreak was when one of the con
victs leveled a pistol at Guard Williams
and ordered him to throw- up his hands.
Williams refused and was shot at. lle
r.as unaimed, but, taking a poker, drove
the men within their cells where, with as
sistance, they were disarmed.
Within the cell was- found about twenty
pounds of djnenilte. a bottle of nitro
glycerin, revolvers and cartridges and a
bunch of skeleton k"ys It is a my.stery
as to how the men obtained the djnamite
and revolvers, and no amount of iiw eating
could make them tell.
It is presumed that one ot the men. who
was shipping clerk" In the shoe factory,
had the dynamite sent hi to the shoe shop,
and then took caie of It when it arrived.
It the evident intention of the men
to use. the dvnamite in wrecking the wall
of the tickude and thon escape through
the breach.

tha work waa delayed on account of tn. very
dry condition of tha ground. The rainfall of
the latter part of the-week baa placed tha.

portions of the cotton' belt. andT tha work will
now progress very fast. The early planted con
tinues to coma up nicely. In the northern and

week, and will have to ba replanted.
The rainfall of the week -will eauae com to

been aecured In other sectlona. in the northern

by the frost of tbe first of the week. This
retarded growth, but did not serious damage to
the crop. The fields are generally receiving
their first cultivation.

Washington. April 3. W. R. Stubbs of
Kansas, railroad contractor, business man,
promoter, who "cleaned out the gang" In
his State and practically has nominated
Edward Hoch for Governor, appeared In
Washington, the focal point or all Amer
ican politics, to-day, and was assured by
President Roosevelt that the sanction of
the White House Is with the Stubbs-Hoch
revolutionists.
Stubha of Kan.'as. rotund of face, though
stockily built, looks the railroad con
tractor rather than a boss political manip
ulator. From all descriptions, hLs Inter
view with vthe President fits in with hl
character for brusqoeness and curt, busi
nesslike methods of dealing with the mat
ter In hand.
Stubbs of Kansas was escorted to the
White House by Senator Long, also of
Kansas, and by M. A. Low, a Rock Island
attorney.
Stubbs was greeted with all the energet
ic Htrenuosity which is the personal equa
tion with Roosevelt of New York, ot the
Montanas. of the Rough Riders, etc
STUBBB'S QUESTION'.
The preliminary greeting ended, Stubbs
of Kansas produced a number of clip
pings from Kansas newspapers, which de
clared that the Burton Indictment -was the
result of a conspiracy hatched by Jlr.
Brlatow, Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General, also of Kansas. Stubbs of Kan
sas wanted to know whether. Indeed. It
was Bristow who first called the attention
of tbe President to the charges against
Burton and whether there is any truth In
the assertions involving Bristow.
Tha President. It Is understood, entered
a disclaimer In terms quite- aa emphatic
as those used by etufabs ot Kansas In
presenting the proposition. It Is reported
that Mr. Roosevelt asserted that, to the
best or his recollection, William Allen
White of Btnporfa first called big attention
to the matter. It is declared, too, that
the President has written to Mr. white
asking whether he was the man.
This much of the Interview concluded,
Stubbs of Kansas appeared to be highly
pleased. It is told also that then the
President wanted to know In soma detail
Just how Kansas had been captured by
railroad-contractor methods, bow the
Bailey gang- and the Sutehouse machine
had been rented and gent pellmell into
the tall (rrass of retirement. When the
story was told. It la understood that the
President gave his Indorsement to the
Hoch revolt and commissioned Stubba 10
return home and wage the campaign in
th hottest lashlon ixslbl.
