dark, and darkness continued for two
months, with couple of hours of light
daily. We managed we'll SO long as we
had snow-house shelter, but we had to
take to the boat and go on another ice
field, which was too small for u house,
and we were only kept warm by swal
lowing seal fat and blood and burning
fat in pans, the light of which also
served as signal lamp at night. We
have suffered most since April. On
the night of the 22d of April the sea
washed over the ice with great force.
The women and children were under
the boat, while the men were outside
trying to keep the boat from being
washed off. Their hands swclled and
sickness set in, but they recovered and
are now almost entirely we'll.
Tho War in Louisiana.
New ORLEANS, May 7.-Great excite
ment was created here this morning by
q report that Gov. Kellogg had been
shot. It appears that the Governor
had driven to the wharf of the Texas
Railroad, about 4:3O, to inquire into
the complaint by the Superintendent OF
the company in relation to the inter-
ference by the police guard stationed
there with the business of the COM
pany, when crowd gathered about his
carriage, swearing and hooting, and
just Us the carriage started, some one
fred. The Governor says that the bull
let passed SO close to his neck that he
felt it.
WASHINGTON, May S.-A consultation
was held Mt the War Department this
morning by General Sherman, Acting
Secretary of War, Robson, Attorney
General Williams and Senator West, of
Louisiana. the subject being tho condi-
ton of affairs in Louisiana. 1t was de-
cided to instruct Gen. Emery to call for
whatever troops were necessary to en-
force the laws and preserve the public
pelcc, but not to interfere otherwise,
except in assisting the proper authori-
ties in carrying out the processes of
Courts. kilograms have been received
from Governor Kellogg, addressed to
the President, giving details of the sit
uation in Louisiana, but they contain
nothing new.
CHICAGO, May S.-A Washington
special says private dispatches from
Louisiana represent the condition Of
affairs as even worse and more alarming
than detailed in the general press tele-
grams. The McEnery party are armed
and arm!ng, and in many parts of the
State it is reported they will be able to
offer successful resistance to Kellogg
forces. Up to this time Governor KEEL
loyg has not called on the President,
in the way prescribed by the Constitu-
ton, for assistance. According to the
last decision of Secretary of War Rob
eson, General Emery is not authorized
to use National troops, except to secure
service OF processes issued by tho
United States Courts.
New ORLEANS, May S.-Latest adviccs
from New Ibria and St. Martinsville re-
port the situation unchanged. During
the skirnish yesterday, young lady
OF 1G was wounded in the neck, and
ono man in the arm. 1t appears that
the police fired on some houses thinking
there we're armed men within. Bad
gers position is considered precarious,
and his retreat may be expected any
time. Tho mayor Of the town has been
imprisoned for high treason. The
number of mctropolitans wounded are
loss than heretofore reported. The
people here arc less excited to-day, but
firm. All look for startling nows soon.
Some white men were heard urging ne
groes to take up arms yesterday, and
ono man threatened to buck and gag
one OF our best citizens for discountc-
nancing such a proceeding. The pro-
ject, however, has failed, so far rs ne
groes are concerned. They say it is
not their fight.
