A cablegram from Sydney, N. S. W., says that news has just been received of the murder of several Europeans in the South Sea Islands, some of the victims being cooked and eaten by the murderers. The Rev. Frederick Daniels, the Queensland missionary killed in the Solomon Islands, was conducting a Sunday service in the open air when j suddenly a shot was fired by a native who was concealed in the scrub. The bullet struck the missionary in the breast. He fell backwards, murmured, "Lord, save me," and then died. It is supposed that Mr. Daniels was shot because he was a mission ?i?t? t??t? ?f? if* ift *fi fftilt ?ft ifi .H A* *A* *A* *4* A* *4* *4* "A* "A* "A" "A* A? *4* *1 ithing D DWARE, FURNITURE an< ae of FURNITURE is of th< test patterns in DRESSERS, ABLES, CHAIRS, etc. Coi IES, CARPETS, RUGS an< buy we would be glad to she have a fine lot of MATTREi xp.

"The natives," says an officer of the mission, "take a pride in getting scalps, so to speak, and the murder of a white man is a special glory. Mr. Daniels is the first white missionary to be killed in the Solomon Islands."

There is no clue to the perpetrators of the crime. The bodies had been treated with great brutality. The French warship Korsaint has brought news to Sydney of an outrage at Maewo, one of the northern islands of the New Hebrides group, two French residents, named Gerlin and Baleu, having been killed by natives and afterwards eaten. siiitiii# * " ? >oing! 1 | ii ? 1 CROCKERY | j 1 e very best, in- f i BEDSTEADS, i} j ne and see our $ I i MATTINGS. j j < | >w them to you \* * i SSES which we jj ^ ROYAL MON- {} J peak for them- I * ^ U! rl rm '+ "Prwrrof ? !$ * *> VLWJ-1 L ?VlgV> ave just receiv- : ?
