hnd Just returned to Farrhane , close to

they assured mo that these Arabs bad only
been forced by clreumstnnces to reeelvo
Uushlri during their Absence They had

Inhabitants of which protected them Chlp-
anglllo rofusoit to liund ever to Uushlri the

ant Uleso had given him
' • I therefore marched as quickly as possible -
blo to Mpwapwa , which I ronehed on the
12th. and found the missionaries nil safe , but
robbed of noaily ovorytlilntr thov possessed
The mission buildinxs and station of the
German East Africa cotnpiny are com
pletely destroyed , nnd also all the cultivated
trncts The graves of Herr Nielsen nnd
n black soldier , murdered in the ser
vice of the company , were pointed out

Chlpangilto , who , ns it turned out , hud ac

"On October II four soldiers of Stnnloy's

westwnrd of Turu , over the Uverivorl nnd

Ivory , and Stunloy with six Europeans
whoso names uro Nelson , Jepp-
son , Stairs , Do Harko Uounoy and
WilllauiB aud 010 Knnzibarcse had broken
up soon after them According to my reckon
ing they will arrlvo in Mpwaown about No-
vcnibor SO Emin Pasha and Stanley nro
said to have fought several times with the
followers of the Mahdi coming from the
north , to have repulsed thorn , and to have
captured the grent standard of the Mahdi
The greater part of Emln's soldiers Insisted
upon being led home , and would not go south ,
and Emin placed stations under command of
two Egyptian oMcers who were willing to
loniain Of the rlso of the Sonussitcs the
people know nothing , nor had any news
reached them of Khartoum nnd Abyssinia
"Mpwapwa Is the most ImDortant meetintr
nlaco for caravan roads in all East Africa
Tbo two roads from Uugamryo , tlio roads
from Saadanl , from Daressalaani nnd from
Ilulldgl to the interior , to Ultorowo , Fa-
ganylka nnd i uababa , meet hero The ter
ritories of Waheho , lying south ol Mpwapwa ,
which penetrate a duy's journey to the
south , and these of Muhcngc nnd McIHi ,
afford a mora dangerous route than that of
the Masai , who live three hours to the uorth
of Mpwapwa and are the only ones friendly
to Europeans , but whoso land is for tno
grcator part of the year Impassable nn ac
count of drought Stanley , who evidently
intended going to Moombassor , has been
forced to taito this road
The English missionaries In Mpwapwa
and Mauiboln , two days inarch from
Mpwapwa , who are cortalnly on good
terms with the natives , but defense
less against Uushiri's attacks , are
in need of protection till Uushiri's fata is
determined In the case of the removal of
Buch protection , the missionaries would have
to bo summoned to withdraw With regard
to neighboring tribes , tbo Masai will never
do nny barm to the station , whilst the
Wahek/ horde of thieves with only a few
rifles , with whom Uushlri Is perhaps In
len/ue , will have to bo kept in check ,
"I have chosen the northern route , which
loads ever the Mnmboia , for mv return to
tbo coast I expect to bo in Uairamoyo at
the beginning of November "
The Emin Pasha commlttco received the
following telegram from Lauiau from Herr
Clemens Denhard : Some letters from
Dr Peters , which were sent off from
Kowkorro about October S , have arrived
hero and will reach Hurlln by the middle of
December At that tlmo the expedition was
geing on well "
Another telogrnm from a firm having an
agent at Zanzibar runs as follows :
According to latest advices from Lainau ,
Dr Peters death Is doubtful In the co
lonial papers it Is pointed out that It the
dostructlon of Peters expedition is true , the
massacre probably took uluco about October
20 , so that the above mentioned letters of
Dr Peters cannot bo taken as a rofutatlon of
these rumors "

Colonel Dave Henderson of the Hawkeye
state , received a boom today iu his speaker
ship campaign and Ins friends nro very con
fident tonight Senator Allison without
unduly Interfering with the affairs of the
other house , is doing all he can possibly do to
help Colonel Henderson to the speakership
The senator was asked today what ho
thought of the outlook
"I dent think anyonojias won yet , " ho
answorcd The people of Iowa are for
Colonel Henderson and the Iowa delegation
Is for him solidly and firmly They think no
ono has nny better chance than ho has of
election They expect him to bo speaker "
His friends are coming right along now , "
said Representative Conger of Iowj , who
was In the souator's company "Wo know
that tlio mutter is bv no menus settled yet ,
and wo expect him to bo elected , "
In answer to a question concerning the ,
Iowa legislature , the senator said it was
safely republican As to the two members
of the legislature whom some dispatches
have said might join tlio democrats to secure
the election of a now senator , ho said that
ho heard no more talk of that lately
Colonel Henderson's headquarters present
qulto a livolv appearance tnls evening Ono
thing much in his fitvor now is the-fact that
having been born In n foreign country ( Scot

TI1E MONTANA BEABLOCK
Congressman Cnrtor In a lengthy inter
view In today's ' Post on the senatorial out
look In Montana says :
"I am satlsllod that the state auditor ,
whoso duty it Is under the law to call tno
roll In the house of representatives prior to
organization , will recognize as members
these persons declared by the state return
in : board to have been elected ; hence the re
publicans will have a majority of about six
in tbo house on the flrst roll call The son
ate will bo a tie nnd inasmuch as the consti
tution provides that a quorum shall consist
of a majority of the members elected it is
possible that the democrats may prevent the
organization of the senate by absenting
themselves In that case the deadlock may
continue until the legislature oxplres by lim
itation at the on J of ninety das , when the
governor can appoint nd interim senators "

THE SOUTIimiN COXFEHnNOT
The expected confererico of tha southern
representatives which wns said to have boon
held was not held , for tlio reason that only
four of the sovontecn piombers nro hero ,
There has boon a groati deal of discussion
about the purposes of ths oinicus , it helng
generally assumed that the members would
meet to discuss the speakership and Unite as
a body of Boventcou votes , so they could
make their demands and nanio their price ,
the goncial understandihg being that Mr
Adiims of Maryland , for doorkeeper , waste
to bo the consideration their support
This , It can bo stated upon excellent
nuthorlty , is cironcous J.Tho meeting of the
southern congressmen , whorievor it is held ,
will not seek to pbind the mem
bers to any ono candidate , nor will
Mr Adams candidacy tlguro in the
mooting to any great extent There
is a conornl disposition oil the part of all
congressmen , so far as they have boon heard
from , to dlvido the good ofllces of the house ,
There is n gonnrul consent aud willingness to
give Maryland the doorUeopenhlp , as that
portion of the patronage i ought to go to the
south It is thought that , on that account
Pennsylvania's chances < for the clorkshlp
will bo somewhat nffected * The real pur
poses of the southern conference will bo to
discuss the committeeships of the next
house The southern members fcol that
there are a number of matters of vital Inter
est to their section on whi h thcro must bo
legislation this coining session Ono of these
is , of course , the Ulatr bill , another the inter
nal revenue taxes on tobacco nnd brandies ,
another the question > df sugar boun
ties , and the conferences purpose Is to
arrange things among themselves so that
they 9hall bo placed in their right positions
on the committees bcforojwhlch this matter
will como in the coming ssion It la likely
that In this eonncctInnjtlioy will desire to

Miller has received a long report from the
United States marshal for the northern dis
trict of Texas regarding the difficulty of
administering the federal laws In cense
quonco of the feeling pfihostllity on the part
of certain state officials The trouble arose
from stops tnko a by the federal ofllcers for
the protection of tbo four Marlowe brothers ,
hold as government witnesses A portion of
the community became exasperated at these
mon and attempted to wreak summary
vengeance upon them As the Jail at Gra
ham was not secure , the federal officers
started to remove them to a safer place
They had not proceeded far when they
were nttockod by a mob ! Two of the Mnr-
lowes were killed on , the flrst onslaught ,
when the other two wrested knives
from their assailants , mnputatod the feet of
their dead brothers , to whom they were
manacled , nnd fled to a farm house , where
they held the mob at bay until assistance ar
rived Three of the mob were killed and a
number wounded
Among these who had been Indicted for
complicity In this attack are two constables ,
a sheriff , a donuty sheriff , the county at
torney and a son of tholcounty judge The
district attorney says that if the proccssos
of the courts of the state are prostituted to
shield from prosecution these who in this
manner defy thu laws ol the United States
