Gilbert r. osuun.

We call the attention of such of
oar readers as do not personally
know our popular candidate for Sec
retary of State to the following brief
biographical notice:
Gilbert r. Osmun, the candidate
for secretary of state, was born at
Newark, N. J., Oct, 8, 1916. His
parents removed to North Carolina
while he was still very young, and
when he was 7 years of age his faith
er died. AT that early age he went
north and began work for his board
and clothes while endeavoring to
get the rudiments of an education at
Chester academy, New York. Later
on he alternated in attendance at
school and apprenticeship at the
sheet-metal workers trade. Mr..
Osmun enlisted early in the war from
New York City, in company E, Sixty.
ninth New York volunteers-in the
famous Irish brigade. He enjoyed
singular immunity from bodily injury
until March IS, 1865, when he was
severely wounded in the left leg, and
in July Of the same year he was dis
charged and sent home on clutches.
Upon his recovery from this wound
about a year later he reentered the
army, this time in the re- ular service
as a member of the Forty-third Uni
ted States infantry. He came to
Michigan in August, 1867, served at
Fort Wayne and Fort Gratiot, and
was again honorably mustered out of
the service on account Of disabilities
arising from wounds. From this time
forward MIR. Osmun followed various
callings, eventually drifting into jour-
nalism. He began his career. as a
journalist as city editor Of the Port
Huron Times. He was subsequently
the city editor Oft the Saginaw Repub
lican (then edited by Col. c. V. De
Land), and his bright and able work
attracted the attention of the mana
gers of the Detroit Evening News.
This resulted in his call to the State
editorship of the latter journal, and
he served in that capacity for nearly
ten years. lie resigned this place
two years ago TO accept the private
secretaryship to Gen. r. A. Alger,
and now occupies that position. Mr..
Osmun is another of the self-made
young men or the Republican ticket,
and his wide popularity will add to its
supporters all over the State.

BLOODY FIGHT AT SEA.
NATNES OF THE ISLAND OF MA
LAYTA ATTACK A STEAMER

And a Terrible Encounter with the Sea-
men Ensues-A Native Village SheIled
Politics in Great Britain-German
Socialists Raided = Interesting Items
from the Old World.
LONDON, Aug 9-Advices from the Solo,
mon islands, via Queensland, report des-
psrate conflict between the crew of the re-
cruiting steamer Dick and the natives OF
the island of Malayta. The steamer, ac-
cording to the reports, is in the habit OF
making periodical visits to the islands for
the purpose of securing natives to serve a
three years apprenticeship in Queensland,
and, IL accounts are correct many of the
unfortunate men are given no opportunity
to say whether they desired to go, but were
bodily carried aboard. However this may
be, it Is certain that the natives did not
welcome the steamers appearance on this
occasion, and while the captain with two
boatloads of men was ashore recruiting a
large party Of natives boarded the vessel
and attacked those on deck
A terrible fight ensued. The natives used
spears and axes, and in a few minutes five
white men were lying on deck hacked to
death, while Mr.. Popham, the agent, was
two and then hacked from the body. Fin.
ally, some of the crew managed to escape
to the rigging, where they killed about a
dozen of the party and drove off the re-
mainder. When the captain returned to
his vessel an awful scene was presented to
his view. The deck was slippery with gore,
and heads and legs and trunks were scat
tered around in al directions. For while
the shock almost bereft him of reason. By
his direction the bodies of the dead natives
were thrown overheard and the Dick sailed
away to obtain the aid of the government
man-of-war Opal.
On being apprised of the facts, the Opal
was at once headed for the island. The
village from whence the attack was COM
menced was shelled, all the people who
came in sight killed, and the houses burned.
The Opal then proceeded to Sendara island
and demanded of the villagers the MUIR
derers of Capt Howe and his mate, who
were killed last January. The village was
destroyed three months after the murders
and as the inhabitants still refused to give
up the criminals the place was again shelled,
and a company of seemen landed and de-
stroyed everything of value they could
find
