The story was shown to General Hazen,
who at first was very -committal, but
finally, with decided emphasis, said:
There are certain facts connected with
the matter which am not at liberty to
mention. 1t is very probable, though do
not say SO officially. The matter Will be

cation next winter. The story contains
some inaccuracies, notably that i'll which

NEw YORK, August l2th.-The Times
prints the following in double-leadod type
Written documents now in possession Of
the Navy Department 1T Washington add
to the record OF the miserable human suf-
tering already published in connection with
the finding of the Greedy relief expedition
the most shocking stories of inhumanity
and clnnibalisn. The sutferings and pri-
vations Of the men in their canvas hut
during the long and bitter winter of 1884
have not half been told. 1t has been pub
iished that after the game ran ont early in
February. they lived principally on seal
skins, lichenS and shrimps. As matter Of
fact they were kept alive on human flesh.
When the rcscuing party discovered the
halt-staryCd survivors their hrs, duty was
10 look 10 the two men who were iuscn5i-
bic from cold and privation, even 10 the
point of death. One nf them, q German
was wild and in delirium. "Oh " hc
shreked, a the sailors took hold ug him Ia

Lieutenant Grcely WAS decidedly adverse
to having the bodies of the buried dead dis-s
turbed. He thought it wise, IL they had
been buried so long, To let them remain in
their Arctic graves. Commando Schlcy
did not agree with him. and the bodies
were dug up from = ,ittle hill Just back of
the permanent camp made in 1858. Most
of the blankets contained only little whitc'
heaps OF bones and most of them wert-
picked clean. The remains could only be
identified by the marks on the blankets
BY inquiry, Commander Schley discovered
that many of the seventeen men said To-.
have pcrished from starvation had been
eaten by their furnishing comrades 1t was
the one last resort. Supplies bad not arr
rived, and death stared the hungry and
crazed men in the face but there was hope,
if life would hold out even for few weeks.
Il is reported that the only men who
escaped the knife were three or four who
died of scurvy. The amputated limbs Of
men who afterwards persisted were eagerly
devoured.

MAH0NE'S MACHINE.
CAMERON OUT AGAINST IT.

A Stirring Letter from the Governor TO Ills
Feiiow.Citizens OF Petersburg Not TO Let
Their Voice Re stined.
IL was stated In the Petersburg papers
yesterday that Colonel J. $. Browning, pri-
yate secretary OF the Governor, was In
Petersburg the night before attending the
meeting there for the election OF delegates
to the Fourth District Republican Nomi-
Mating Convention. This is not true.
Colonel Browning left Richmond satur-
day evening, and was at his home, In
Washington county, attending meeting
there, as was his right.
II is true, though, that Mr.. A. NJ.
Brownell, OF this city, was In Petersburg,
simply as messenger conveying the fol-
lowing letter from the Governor:
COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA.
GOVERNORS OFFICE.
RICHMOND. August -, 1884.
To Nv Ftiioir- Citizens of PeterSbarg:
1t is my opinion that the Readiusters and
Republicans Of Petersburg should have a
free expression Of their choice as TO the
Republican nominee for Congress from my
own, the Fourth congressional district Of
Virginia.
wish could he present at the meeting
and express my views to my fellow-citizens
Of Petersburg, who have never failed to
respond TO my advice. Public duties de-
tam me here; but | would earnestly ad-
wise all members Of that party to which
belong not to commit themselves to any
proceeding which shall exclude the people
from deciding the matters at issue, or
which shall allow q determined machine
TO give control TO minority. Ii the hall
is not large enough, appeal, as freemen
have always done, to the open sky: at least
give room for the exercise OF the first prin-
ciple Of our party, ga free ballot and fair
count" l have 10 candidate to suggest.
Were present, though, should feel free
as any other citizen OF the district to eX.
press preference. But DO with earnest
ness and vigor protest against the assump-
ton OF right by anybody to dictate your
organization, to name your chairman and
committeeman, and through such ravished
machinery to control the delegation, and
through that TO stine the voice of your
community.
Choose your own nominee. II he is
your own choice, he is strong. II he is
your choice. he is mine. II he Is not your
choice. he is weak, and will iniure the
party and the presidential ticket.
believe in the people. have 10 conf
dence in machine methods. Experience
OF the last three years ought to teach all
parties that. deny no mans right to be
a candidate. deny the right of any man
to be forced upon a constituency. II you
need guardians, executors, and admins
traitors upon your political rights, choose
them now. If you need representatives,,
do not submit to having them appointed
for you,
To have seeded from one larty in re-
sistance to control OF opinion in another
will have been no gain.
ask you, fellow. citizens, TO demand such
form OF meeting tonight and such presid-
ing influences as, without reference to men
or patronage, will express your choice and
make you the free people that you are enu-
tied TO be, without division. as citizens Of
the United States and the Commonwealth
OF Virginia. Respectfully and truly,

TIE NORFOLK DISTRICT.
Another Lively Fight Against the Machine
Probability OF Two Candidates.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dspatch.l
NORFOLK, August 2G, 1854.
The copgrt ssional fight between the Re-
pubicans in this district is waxing warm,
and serious split in the ranks Is prophe-
sled. Yesterday in the Norfolk County
Convention some OF the delegates came TO
blows. and two sets OF delegates were
elected. In this city the machine was at
work, but the machnistS were defeated
and a Bowden delegation elected.
There will be 81 delegates in the H,mp-
ton Convention, and SO far as heard from
they stand as follows: Norfolk city, 13.
Bowden: Portsmouth, 6. Libbey; Charles
City, 3. Libbey; Elizabeth City,. LibDey;
Isle OF Wight mot heard from; James
City. 3. Libbey; Nansemond, 10. Bowden;
Norfolk county, 10 two delegatiOns);
Princess Anne, 6, Libbey; Southampton,
3 for Dyer and for Libbey; Surry, mot
heard from; York, 9, Libbey; Warwick,
2, Libbey.
Chairman Clay, collector at Newports
News, will call the Convention to order.
and he is a strong Libbey man, so that the
Libbey people from Norfolk county will
be seated. This would seem to shut Bow
den out, but his friends say he Is decidedly
the strongest man before the people, ana
they will raise a howl in the Convention.
Indeed, il is proiessed that there will be
either n compromise eandidate-Callahan
or Turner-or that there will be split in
the Convention and two nominees.
II Is well known that Libbey is the Ma
hone candidate, and Mr.. Bewden admits
that he is not able to combat the machine,
even with majority OF the people behind
him. Many Of Libbey's friends claim, II IS
said, that they favor his nomination on per-
sODal grounds, and not because they are
friendly to the Malone machine. u

4 GENERAL REVOLT.

Kicking All Along the Line-Tnlk OF Two
Conventions in the Fourth DistrIct-A Split
Inevitable.
In our issue Of yesterday we gave reports
Of a number Of the Republican meetings
held Monday IN the Fourth congressional
distric. to elect delegates to the Convention
called to meet in Petersburg on the Goth to
nominate a candidate for Congress. Below
we give fEller and additional reports which
confirm all heretofore indicated IN respect
Of the revolt against Malone and his choice
for the nomination, Colonel Brady. A dis
position TO kick is apparent throughout
the district: in some quarters feeling runs
very high. and while the machine may win
in the end, it is almost certain that il will
be met with organized opposition. Some
counties have sent delegations instructed
against Brady, others have selected two
sets Of delegates, and there is strong talk
of two conventions and two candidates.
\ split seems inevitable. Nor Is the revolt
confined to the Fourth district. In the
Norfolk district there is vigorous opposi-
ton TO machine methods, and our Char

There are some doubts about Mecklcn-

The Feeling in the Upper End OF the Dis
triet-Talk OF Two Conventions.
Especial telegram TO the Dspatch.I
FARNvILLE, August cG.-In every county
in this district Malone has resorted to his
peculiar tactics, and in every county in the
upper end OF the district, except Powhatan,
two sets Of delegates have been chosen. the
one set representing the wishes OF a large
majority OF the Repu olcans, the other SET
chosen bv the cliquers OF Malone and IA
voring Brady. The people are thoroughly
indignant and will not submit TO the dicta'
tlon OF Malone.
Two conventions will probably be held
In Petersburg, as the opposition to Brad!
Is so strong and represents the wishes OF
the people that an opposition Republican
candidate will cert,in.y be put in the field,
and that candidate will be either Hooper
or Gaines, OF Noitoway. Every species oi
political trlckery has been resOrted TO Dy
the advocates OF Brady, and the impress
sion is rife here that Malone has 40 ar
ranged matters that none but the Brady
delegates will be admitted TO his conyen-
tion. Therefore, those who are opposed 10
him will not attend. but will hold a separate
convention and put their candidate IN the
field. Anything TO beat Brady and Ma
hone Is their battle-cry. Excitement runs
high, and the breach is so wide that 1t can
not be closed. Look out for lively times
In the Fourth district.
