Disquieting news baa again been n-C;iveJ re. gardiDg tlie IlrltUli column now invading in-vading Mashonalauil In Southern Africa, it rich country which the IlriUsb bouth Africa Company claims to have been ceded to 11 hy LiobengulalKin;of the MaUbelira. Tho miin force of the ezpctlition numlrs S00 men, with a louetr force of ISO, and Uicy are coniraand-ed coniraand-ed by Lieutenant Colonel lVnne-fatheruf lVnne-fatheruf the InuUkiUcn Dragoons, who has had much experience of native warfare in Zuiuland. Tbe force Is well armed and equipped also with light artillery. While Kinc Ixbengula himself lias not been nltORt-tlier urttvoralilo to whlt occupation, his leading warriors bae been anxious for war. There is too much reason to believe the report from Capo Town that the Matabelles havu attacked the expedition, causing tho loss of 100 men. In other parts of Africa the na tles are protesting efloctuaily against parceling out the continent by the European powers. Some chiefs on the gold coast made a forcible resistance to the Germans and compelled them to withdraw. In Dahomey the French have found it advisable to conclude a treaty of peace, which Is highly favorable to the king of Uiat country. It is fald that tho king, in menacing the French settlements, wasencouracd by the Portuguese, who are jealous of French interference. Altogether tho Matabelle can muster about 23,000 men. The British are to march 400 mlle and make a stop at Mount Hampdc, in Masbonaland. Fortunately for the British the MAtabeles have no better weapons than the awgas and bollock bol-lock hide shields. When In warlike attire they wear black ostrich plumes. TheJIaUbelies are brave and warlike war-like savages who have been accustomed accus-tomed forages to attack and enslave the neishlnring race and do not care to acknowledge even tho whiles as masters. The more turbulent spirits have long clamored against the king's policy In favor of the white men and may have forced him into the war. Ills men are not an undisciplined horde, but regularly regu-larly trained and divided into commands. com-mands. One of his measures of warlike prcpantion was to strength en his force of Amazon by compulsory compul-sory recruiting, nwny married women wo-men having been compelled to leave their husbands an J homes and join lu the ranks.

The Arabs and strangers In that region are dying by scores. The persons are seixed with cholera and die within an hour with clenched teeth and bodies drawn up. Birds and dogs feed on tlie corpses which the people are afraid to touch, and rait nocks ef vultures dispute for thoprey with the four-footed scavengers. scaven-gers. From the Interior of Arabia accounts are fully as heartrending and the victims are said to be num bered by thousands. BaJfonr Known otlilna; A bant An Irish Famine.

They hae taken extraordinary precautions, pre-cautions, but the most precautions are made to entrap the assassin in the employ of Uiu class of women he formerly chose as his ray. A number of these outcasts of about the sanio age and character of thorn murdered have practically been engaged en-gaged by the police to aid in the endeavor en-deavor to capture the "Ripper." They have been converted for the time being Into female detectivee, for which work, provided they be kept saber, the police consider them well qualiaed.

LjiUIesey of Washington, secretary of the board of Indian commissioners, gave a general survey sur-vey of the field and referred to tlie happy change in tubllc sentiment In the last few years, due largely to influences emanating from the Mobouk race. He said U was difficult diffi-cult to find an intelligent irsou expressing ex-pressing doubt of tho possibility or practicability of civilization of tlie Indians. The reformed public sentiment had reached Congrrmaud resulted In legislation by which the mode or civilisation has been wonderfully won-derfully advanced. Bev. I. W. Greenland or Hampton, Hamp-ton, who has been insjicctlug the returned students on the reservations, reserva-tions, said that or 110 from Hampton Hamp-ton only four turned out failures. The percentage was not larger than may be found In many eastern sehools for white children. Ex-President McCosh of Trinity read a paper to demonstrate tho capacity ca-pacity of the Indian for civilization. The k orst of tbe red men, he laid, were not in a ler favorable condition condi-tion for civilization than our own ancestors, the Britons, as deeeribed by Ciesar aud Tacitus, with their painted bodies, Druid rites, human sacrifices, and so forth. It was Christianity that wrought the change, and it would do the tame for tho Indiana. THE IVOltLH S I Hit. ClaaslQratUn Caminlltre at Work.

Speaking on tlie subject or the tariff tho benator said- "I have not paid sufficient attention to be able to discuss it iu detail, but on the whole I am Inclined In-clined to view it wlllt favor. Nowhere No-where In Europe have I heard any opposition expressed to the new tariff, except in France, where a wild panic prevails. The impression impres-sion mot prevalent among the French people is that the new tariff has been instituted in revenge for tlie exclusion from France of the American hog." Ttte Time ConirnUon.
