Missionary Arrives Home to Bring Up
Congo Free State Abuses.
New York, May 19. After six years'
missionary work along Kauai river, in
the Congo free state P.ev. William
Morrison, of the American Presbyterian
mission, returned today on the Cunard
line. Mr. Morrison, whose story of
the abuses that the natives of the
Congo free state arc- alleged to be sub
jected to by the Congo administration,
has attracted some attention in London,
says be w ill furnish to the state depart

Mr. Morrison left Luebo early in April.

and Mr. Morrison furnished a report to
Foreign Secretary Lansdowne. The re

PRESIDIO IS A DISGRACE.
She Finds Herself In a State of Practical
Bankruptcy from Rebellion.
Washington, May 15 A gloomy
picture of the terrible plight in which
Colombia finds herself as the result of
the exhausting four years of rebellion
is contained in a communication which
has reached this city from a source of
unquestionable reliability. These ad
vices state that on March 1 last the
government gave notice that it bad
s opped the issue of paper money that
was flooding tbe country and had
turned the lithographic plates, from
which it was made, over to a commit
tee composed of prominent members o!
different political paities. Conse
quently the government early in April
was mutual, entirely, witnout Hinds. It
had not enough to pay running ex
penses, to say nothing of foreign claims
and demands. Not a cent of interest
had beea paid on the national debt
since the war commenced in 1899. The
claims growing out of the recent revo
lution were assuming tremendous pro
portions, and as there were no other
means of relief it was apparent that
tne government must again have re
course to the lithographic stones and
start the presses running again. More
over, it was the general opinion that
even tne small measure of relief which
might follow the receipt of the $10,
nrm nnn f-n .u tt:..--i ....
uuu,uuv7 Hum wo uuiieu orates on ac
count of the Panama canal could not be
obtained, as it was not expected that
congress would ratify tbe treaty.
At one time last year the exchange
on New York was 22,000; that is to
say, 22,000 Colombian dollars were re
quired to purchase $1 worth of goods
m tne united Mates. It was feared
that the rate would go even higher
this summer, lor there was over $1,
uuu.uuu worm oi inis paper money
anoat, ana it was expected that $500,
000,000 more would be issued immedi
ately to pay war expenses. The foreign
debt of 1898 amounted to $12,700,000,
on which the inteiest rate was first 2H,
anu men three per cent., but this in
terest has not been paid for several
yearB. It was the general opinion, ac
cording to the report, that the Colom
bian government could not , pay its
debts, and apprehension was expressed
as to what might happen in case the
foreign creditors pushed for a final set
tlement of their claims.

ONE OF THE FAMILY.
Pic that Really Woa the Began! of a
Traveler.
Among the curious Ideas of tbe Per
sian Is tbe belief that tbe presence
of a pig lu the stable Is good for the
horses' health. Doctor Wills, tbe au
thor of the book entitled "In tbe Land
of the l.lon and Sun." writes that as
boo ii as he arrived at Slilrai his groom
asked poriv.U-lon to buy a little pig.
These wild pigs are straugely thin,
and as active as a terrier. They are
very uflVctloimte, and show their affec
tion strongly to the horse or groom.
They all answer to the name of "Mur
Jabn." When the horses leave the
yurd they are accompanied by the pig.

the stable, and shows bis grief by
piercing squeals, and by attempting

When we all camped out on account

eight miles. Murjnbn never left the
heels of my horse, and was able to
keep up when I galloped, but any
thing over half a mile was too much
for him; he was not. of course. Id
such high training as bis wild rela
tives, and. when distressed he would
ootnmence to sciueal. and would look
up In a most appealing manner.
He remained with us in camp, never
leaving my horses, with which he was
on the best of terms. 1 used often
to put the horse to speed when out
for rides, and on Marjahn's beginning
to squeal, the horse would look round
to slacken his pace, and sbrdl shrd s
and attempt to slacken his pace, and
Marjahn, if really left behind, would
show great distress.
The pig would bathe In the river and
show delight In wallowing and swim
ming. As he got bigger he used to
charge strange dogs that chased him,
and was always more than a match
for them, generally turning aggressor,
and obstinately pursuiug them with
many grunts and shrieks.
Marjahn, when a fine young bonr of
three years, was following my horse
one day as I raced him against a
friend, forgetting in the excitement the
distress of the pig. Our gallop being
over, I saw a black spot far away on
the plain. It was poor Marjahn. who
had burst a blood-vessel In bis attempt
to keep up with us. When we reach-
ed him he was quite dead. I never
cared to keep another pig. and the
groom's grief was very great.
