came necessary In order to keep up
discipline to inform Henry that he would
be shot If the practice continued, and
that similar fate would be meted out to
any other member of the party detected
in a like crime. II Henry had been per.
mitted to continue his stealings UNI
molested the balance Of the party would
have surely starved to death, and
Henry alone survived. After
and in spite of these warnings, Henry
was again detected in stealing provis-
ions, the food taken being two pounds OF
bacon, and the eating Of so much made
him sick. A search was then instituted
when it was found that Henry had among
other articles stolen and secreted pair
or sealskin boots which had belonged to
hunter Of the party. Lieutenant Greedy
was therefore, forced in order 10 main
tain military, discipline and protect the
lives OF his other comrades, to issue
written order that Henry be
shot, which order was carried into
effect June 9th. AS to the alleged can
nlbalism Lieutenant Greedy says If there
was anything of the kind it must have
been an individual act and not gen.
eral. Nothing of the kind came under
his observation. Sergeant Brainerd, VINO

Terrible News for a Widow.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August l3.-Mrs.
Cross, widow of Sergeant William H..
Cross, of the Greedy Arctic exploration
party, heard the story of cannibalism OF
the survivors Of that party yesterday
afternoon. She was very much shocked
at first, but on reading Commander
Schley's statement, discredlted the first
story. She does not wish to have the
casket containing her husbands remains
opened, but the latters brother is anx-
ious that it be opened. Mrs. Cross will
leave the decision of the question to the
mother and brother OF her husband.

The Sensational Story.

WASHINGTON, d. c., August l3.-The
detailed sensational story of cannibalism
among the survivors OF the Greedy party
was the chief topic Of conversation here
yesterday. No additional positive infor-
nation bearing upon the disputed fact
could be obtained last night from army
or navy officers. Admiral Nichols, act
ing Secretary of the Navy, and Chief Sig.
nal Officer Hazen, who, of all men In
Washington, ought to know, both stout
ly deny that there is any record evidence
on file here to confirm the story.
General Hazen denies emphatically the
statement that upon his arrival at Ports
mouth Commander Schley impaired to
him and Secretary Chandler the horrible
secret He also contradicts some other
details; but while admitting that in
Portsmouth he heard rumors OF cannibal-
ism having been resorted to by the sur
yivors, does not say he diSbelieyes that
part Of the story On the contrary, he
said last night to United Press reporter
that he would not be surprised to hear
after an investigation that something OF
the sort had happened. The storyis quite
generally believed here, although nobody
has any positive Information on the SUBJ
ject. Army and navy off ,ers and others
say it would be strange if there had not
been some cannibalism amo 9 the Greedy
party during the several weeks immedi-
ately preceding the rescue. Under SINH
lar circumstances cannibalism had oc-
Cured before and must be expected, and
Lieutenant Greedy and Captain Schley are
credited with a desire to suppress the
sickening details until forced to disclose
them by an official investigation.

LEAvENwoRTH, KAs., August 13.-Van
Bennett, editor of the Kansas Prohibition

the nomination of st. John, de-
nounces as utterly false the state
ment that he received $4,000 from
the National Democratic Committee to
prosecute the prohibition campaign in
this State. He says the prohibitionists
expect the assaults of the "hired liars"
OF both the Democratic and the Repub-

be made for st. John in this State. He
will poll between 80, 900 and 10000 votes.

The Times Continues.

New YORK, August l3.-The Times
says: Very few of the crew OF the two
relief vessels that reached Greeley's des.
olate camp were permitted to see the
bodies OF the dead. When their condi-
ton was discovered and the fact was APP
parent that cannibalism had been resorted
to, the officers of the two vessels took
every precaution TO keep the fact
from the sailors. The officers, as
sisted by only a few sail
ors, uncovered the bodies and
prepared the remains for removal to the
ships. The officers carefully shielded
the bodies, and it was this fact that first
aroused the suspicion of many of the
sailors. In handling the remains after
they had been prepared by the officers,
the exceeding lightness Of some of them
was remarked upon by the seamen. This
was noticed in removing the bodies from
their graves and again when they were
placed in tanks on the Bear and Thetis.
STRIPPED OF THEIR FLESH.
Some of the men had been little more
than skin and bones when they died, but
the flesh they had was gone in places, as
on the calves of the legs, on the hips,
thighs and arms. From the condition of
the bodies it was seen that there was no
concerted action of those remaining to
sustain life in this way. None of the
limbs were missing, but rather it seems
that the perishing men went to the bodies
when hunger became unbearable and sup
piled themselves as best they could. The
disclosure made by the unearthing of the
bodies of the dead was generally dis
cussed by the crews of all the vessels on
the homeward trip. The officers of the
vessels refuse to speak at all on the SUBJ
ject.
SEALED LIPS.
tThere is this much about it," re.
marked one yesterday "that If canni-
balism was resorted to, it can never be
proved. No oath could make the survi.
vors speak"
One seaman said: "Portions of the
flesh had been cut away from different
parts of the bodies. Some were nearly
stripped of flesh, nothing but the bones
being left" From all the score or more
Of officers and seamen seen on the vessels
of the relief squadron yesterday not q
single denial of the reported facts was
heard. Officers declined to speak of the
matter, as did few of the seamen, while
all were careful in any statement they
made.
DIR. PAvEY'S FATE.
1t is more than probable that when all
the details of the story are known DR.
Octave Pavy, the surgeon of the expedi
ton, will be found to have shared the
same or very similar fate to that OF
young Henry, The deaths of both are
entered under the same date on the ships
journal. Nothing is said about Henry
being shot. DR.. PAWS body was one OF
the four swept away to sea. 1t is said
that most of the men who went with the
expedition were under arrest earlier in
the winter for the same offense which
cost Henry his life.

Declines to Dictate,

JEFFERSON CRY, Mo-, August l3.-Im-
mediately after General John s. Marina
duke had been nominated for Governor
last night, large proportion Qt his
friends followed him to the Madison
Hotel and congratulated him. From ten
O'Clock until two O'Clock this morning
throng OF people passed in and out of his
room, and 1t soon became evident that
many candidates desired the nominee for
Governor to dictate the remainder Of the
ticket. 1t was understood that COM
blnation had been make by Marmaduke's
friends to name the ticket throughout,
and some were
DISAPPOINTED AND INDIGNANT
when Marmaduke expressed his ignor-
ance OF any such arrangement. The
nomination Of A. 2. Morehouse as Lieu
tenant.Goyernor was announced as pur-
suant to Marmaduke's wishes, but af-
ter that any effort to connect his in
iuence with nominations proved unsuc-
cessful.
After the Convention adjournment, at
ii 80 p IN, the headquarters of the can.
didates were opened, and kept open until
dawn. Before daylight the friends OF
Gates and Gentry thought thy discov-
cred combination between Seibert and
MaImaduke, and for hours they endeav-
ored to defeat such Vaccinations. The
representatives of Gentry called on Mar.
maduke and demanded to
KNOW THE TRUTH
They were informed that while his SYM
pathies were certainly with Gentry, he
found it indicate to interfere in the rest
Of the Convention work. An hour later
Marmaduke's private secretary, Yantis,
was found closeted with Seibert's friends.
The announcement was then imade that
Captain Leseuer had succeeded in Sc
curing the active support Of Marmaduke,
but this WAS vigorously denied by
Leseuer. The sorder Of business made it
essential that goods should be delivered
promptly before the Supreme Judge was
reached, and much nervousness charac-
terized the statesmen in consequence.
