LETTERS TO THE EBITOR,
—-~»>—— 4 Merchant Sneaks Out.
SIR, The letter from Messrs. Noonan X Davies published in yesterday's issue of your paper deserves 4 reply.
I was present at the meeting of the Board of Trade held on the 9th inst., and heard read an official! letter, a ldressed by a rail way man, in high position, to Mr. George Lonewortb, in which it was stated that the charges made by Messrs. Noonan & Davies, the Government agents of the steamship Stanley at Pictou, for freight received and forwarded by the steamer was, for all quan- tities under 1,000 Ibs., 3 cents per LOO lbs., and for all quantities over that 2} cents per 100 Ibs.,and, when 1t was also shewn to the meeting that the Stanley's charges for freight was 9 cents per LOO Ibs., agaist 5 or 6 cents by other steamers in summer, it is nota matter of wonder that you should apply theterms “scandalous” ‘imposition, ”” ancl ‘outrageous” to such charges. Whether imposed by the managers of the Government steamer or the Pictou brokers. You only gave expression to the general
.
»
feeling.
I notice that these gentlemen do not deny the truth of the statement made by the railway official in the letter referred to. Nor do they deny it in ancther letter which they wrote, upon the same subject, toa rentlemen in this city, which was, at their request, read at a recent meeting of the Soard,
They seem to seek rather to draw the public mind away from the point at issue by making excuses for the present condi- tion of things. if Pictou town had been treated as lyin any government matter as this Pro- vince has been in this winter steamship business, we should have heard one long,

THE GEFFCKEN INDIS) MERE.
BERLIN, Jan. 17.
The Geffcken indictment states that Professor Geffcken that he be- lieved Emperor Frederick would not have given him the diary had he thought it would be published. The Professor made extracts from the diary for his own use, never thinking the Emperor would die be- His object in publishing the

extracts was to show that Emperor Frederick was a uoble idealogist and a moving power in the foundation of the Kmpire. On comparing the
abstracts published with copies of diaries in the possession of the government, it ap- vars that the manuscript trom which Jeftcken copied has disappeared without leaving a trace. Three witnesses were adduced, a widow, minister Vonetosh, and the novelist Freytag, to prove that the late Emperor never contemplated publishing his diary. The violation of secrecy, which is the basis of the charge of treason, is treat- ed under six heads, as follows :—
Under the first the indictment says that
employing force agaist the Southern States would beget a tear of such force in the future which might induce other States, as precaution, Lo with other powers damaging to their rela tions with the Kinpire.

Germany's interest abroad and incite dis trust of the German Empire. The indict- ment then proceeds to prove that Geffcken, being a Professor of public law, was_per- fectly aware of the consequences of the publication. It quotes letters disproving
the statement that he was suffering from] mental aberration,.asserts that he burned Rodenburg’s letters in order to put the
police on the wrong track as to the author- ship of the articles and quotes expressions used by Getleken a decade ago at Barmen, from which it ts concluded that this am- bition had been disappointed, and that he desired the overthrow of Bismarck. Two letters from Rogenback were found dissuading Geffcken from his intention to submit a memorial to the present Emperor, and secretly trying to discredit Bismark. LONDON, Jan, 17. The Standard says :—‘* The pubhcation of the Geffvken indictment shows that Bis- marck himeelf-was the author of the charges against Sir R. D. Morier. The Kaizer has chosen openly to associate himself with the
Chancellor’s tortuous policy. There is a cold brutality about the whole business which is exceedingly unpleasant. Bis-
marck has outraged public opinion ina way in which it has hardly ever been outraged before.”
Missionaries Massacred. The Arabs’ Terrible Work
eee ee
At the Missionary Stations,
ZANZIBAR, Jan. 16, The attack made by the imsurgents upon the German missiovary station at Dares Salem began at an early hour on the morn- ing of Jan. 11. The station, which was entirely unguarded, contained 100 natives, who had been freed from slavery, and three male and two female missionaries. One of the missionaries was severely wounded, but escaped and succeeded in reaching the German man-.f-war Mowo. The other persoas at the station were ail captured by the insurgeuts, who sold them into slavery inthe interior. The insur- gents pillaged the town. The Mowe bom- barded the place and destroyed it, but did no harm to the insurgents. It is reported that the insurgents are marching upon an- other German missionary station where there are several unprotected missionaries and 159 freed natives. | Bushiri is actively recruiting soldiers. ZANZIBAR, Jan. 17.
The Arabs destroyed the German mis- sionary station at Tugu, 15 miles west cf Dares Salem. The majority of the slaves captured by the German man-of-war Laip- sie were lodged atthe station. One mis- sioniry succeeded in escaping from the Arabs, but eight others were massacre‘. Three bodies, one that of a woman, were found mutilated in a barbarous manne, The Arabs carried off the servants and slaves at the station. French missionary stations, especially those situated near Tugu, are in imminent danger. The Arals now joining in the slave trade come princi

Tronesta, Pa., Jan. 6, 1889.
Dear Str,—-Do you know of any family in your town, or near there, by the name of Buchanan? if you do [I wish you would let me know. I have wrote them near a month since and haven’t had any answer. It was with regard to a man by that name who boarded with me all summer, until 1 wrote. He then went to the hospital, and on the 2nd of this month died. He told me his father’s nam: was Archie Buchanan. If you know of any such family I wish you would send them this note, and let me know if they ever got a letter from here with one of my envelopes.
He told me his father had been dead for several years, and that he had two brothers and one sister and a mother. He told me that he was born and raised near your place. If this should reach you, I wish you to for- ward it to them, if you know of such people. For further particulars they can write me.
Yours with respect, O. C. BRowNELL.
