SHOCKING DETAILS
OF the Existence OF Cannibalism
and Starvation Among Canadian
Indians

lnu1anS.
Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, Man., March 15.-From
time to time cases of cannibalism have
been reported to have occurred in the
far North region over 1000 miles away
from the city. Rev. Mr.. SpendlOve, a
reliable English church clergyman, who
has resided for eight years in the Nc
KenZie river district, believes that can
nibalism has been practiced, but not to
any extent, among the EsquimauX near
Great Slave lake. The Wawipitas
woman who went crazy on Little Red
river in the far Northwest six years
ago, is the worst instance of cannibal-
that she first gained liking for hIman
flesh when compelled to eat cOmpan-
ion who died when both were lost for
upwards of a month in the wilds while
hunting. Starvation drove the woman
wild, and her hallucination
was that she had to live
on human beings, hence number of
murders. Her mode of killing the vic
tins was by drugs made of native roots,
i'll the preparation of which she was an
adept. The country in which the wo-
man lives is isolated, and it is impOSSi-
BILE to get late details, but it is supposed
that she is still alive.
GREAT ANXIETY Is FELT
among the natives at the existence in
their midst of such creature as this
woman is, and the government will be
asked to make an investigation. Last
summer woman was killed near Ed
monitor by her relatives because she
wanted to eat her friends about her.
The next news received from the latest
cannibal will be that she also has been
killed. III. Fraser, who returned from
the Northern country to Edmonton
a few days ago, says game is
scarce and the Indians are starry
ing. Coyotes even are starving and
come close to houses i'll hopes of pick
ing up something, when many of them
are run down and killed by men on
horseback. There are some moose, but
the Indians are not killing many. Last
winter three white men from Calgary
passed the winter at Beaver lake poison
ing wolves. They went away in the
spring. Last fall one of them returned
with horse and cart and built small
shanty, evidently intending to remain
all winter. He did not visit any of the
houses, but his tracks were seen after
the snow fell. Lately he and his horse
have disappeared, but many of his be-
lOngings which he would naturally have
taken with him are still in the shanty,
making it doubtful whether he is safe
or not.

The Supposed Cause.

ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, March LIT
is understood at this point that the cause
of the strike on the Santa Fe was be-
cause the company requested the men
to haul Burlington cars. A committee
of the engineers waited on the manager
of the road and informed him of their
determination. The officials told the
committee that the interstate commerce
compelled them to handle the Burling-
ton cars. This the men refused to do.
There are 1000 engineers and fremen
Oh the Santa Fe and about 1000 on the
Atlantic IL Pacific who have stopped
work. All passenger trains which
started before 4 this evening will be
taken to their destination.

CHICAGO, March 15.-Thirty-twO hun
dred miles of railway were tied up this
afternoon in exactly ten minutes by the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and Firemen. The entire main line of
the AtchiSon, Topeka ~ Santa Fe COM
pany and all its branches We're brought
to a Stand-still. A stretch of territory
from st. Paul on the north TO FL Paso on
the south-practically the whole breadth
of the United StateS-iS now involved
in the struggle that started between
the Burlington company and its en-
plOyees. At $3.50 p. IN. to-day the gen
eral manager of the Santa Fe system re-
ceived at Topeka, Kas., an official no.
tice from the chairman of the grievance
committee of the road, stating that the
engineers and firemen would stop work
at 4 p. m. When the ten minutes
elapsed the strike had taken place. 1t
occurred on what is called the main line
OF the Santa Fe, which extends from
Kansas City to FL Paso, including all
the branches, such as the line to Den
yer, but not the trunk lines further west
operated by the company. In giving
the notice
NO GRIEVANCES
of any character were mentioned. This
was for the moment at least apparently
ineXplicabe, for the agreement re-
Gently entered into between the COM
pany and the men provides that thirty
days notice shall be given whenever
conference is wanted, and before the
men have the right TO withdraw from
the services Of the company. About
500 men, including both engineers and
firemen, quit work. Their stoppage
virtually brought to standstill
not less than 10000 persons. The
''tired" feeling that 50 suddenly at
tackled the enginemen in the far West
to-day seems to have infected their
chiefs in Chicago. Lights were out at
theil rooms in the Grand Pacific hotel
at startling early hour, and each of
the principal executive officers of 10000
men was apparently deep in peaceful
slumber. Repeated knockings by news
paper men bearing bundles of kilograms
telling of the battles spread, were with
out avail. 1t was after IL p. N. when
most furious pounding at the door of
Chief Sargent brought that gentleman
forward, clad in his night robes and
sleepily rubbing his eyes. Mr.. Sargent
was innocent as babe Of all knowledge
that there was to be or had been another
strike.

Ordered to Chicago.

KANSAS CITY, March 15.-The chair
man of the general grievance committee
of the Brotherhood of Engineers, who
is now in this city, received a telegram
HIM HIM to send San Santa Fe comm it eo
to Chicago at once, intimating that the
Santa Fe company was ready to COM
promise. The chairman replied by ask
ing if the Burlington would yield to it's
strikers demand in case the Santa Fe
strike was lifted. No reply has been
received from Mr.. Arthur yet.
The Usage City express, which left at
$50 p. H., an hour late, arrived at its
destination on time. This was the only
train sent out this evening. The 10:15
p. M, California train had not left at
midnight, and there seemed to be small
chance for its getting out TONIGHT.

WATERFOWL, Oak, March 15.-The
Helen Blythe Dramatic company came
to this city for a short engagement,
which was quite successful; but owing
to the serious illness of the star, the
blOckaded condition of the railroads, and
the romantic cOurtship and marriage of
a couple of the performers, their stay
was prolonged until to-day. Whitman
Osgood, an actor, of Washington, d. c.,

Tenn, otherwise known on the stage as
POppani, an Italian, have loved each
other long, but Miss Lawrence, being
an ardent Catholic, refused to become
Mrs. OsgOod until Easter should arrive.
This decision did not please OsgOod,
and happy solution was found by hav-
ing private ceremony performed by
Judge A. M. Weeden, with the under
standing that the ceremony would only
be binding until Easter, when the work
will be done over again by priest of

He Hates the Papers.

ROME, March, 15.-In the chamber of
deputies to-day Premier Crisp was
questioned about the unfair censorship
which was exercised over the dispatches
sent from MaSsOwah to Rome. He re-
piled that the newspapers were specu
latOrs, and could not claim to be
teachers, and that sometimes they lied
and distorted facts, and for that reason
they could not be trusted with the news
of the army movements. Several depu
ties Immediately protested at this
language, and the reporters in the press
gallery began cheering their supporters
on the floor. Confusion reigned, and
was so great that the president was COM
PEELED to SUSPEND the sitting.

1T MAY KEEP IT'S CONTRACT
The Manitoba Is Switching Cars

The Manitoba Is Switching Cars
for the "Northern" in the Twin
Cities.
A good deal of surprise was mani
tested yesterday forenoon in st. Paul,
when it was learned that it had been
officially announced to the Burlington 81
Northern by the Manitoba road that it
would handle Chicago, Burlington IL
Quincy cars, both at Minneapolis and
st. Paul. Inquiry was made of the EN-
gineerS, who said the order permitted
the Manitoba road to do this transfer
business for the reason that several
years ago this road entered into con-
tract with the Burlington IL Northern,
in which it agreed, for valuable con-
SideratiOn, to allow that road to use the
line belonging to the Manitoba between
Minneapolis q st. Paul, and also to do
all the switching for the Burlington &
Northern, both in st. Paul and Mime
apolis. The engineers did not feel dis
posed to do anything calculated to in
terfere with this contract, or in anyWise
to obStruct the Manitoba in fulfilling its
engagements. Thus it is that this road
is now switching Burlington 81 Quincy
cars for the Burlington d Northern in
Minneapolis and st. Paul.
mCommittees of engineers from all the
roads centering in st. Paul were in ses-
sion at the Merchants hotel nearly all of
yesterday. The situation was discussed
from about every standpoint. The
action of the Manitoba in switching cars
for the Burlington IL Northern was one
topic of discussion. 1t was said that
papers had been drawn and were ready
to be served in the conrt against the
Manitoba, asking heavy damages for not
living up to the contract above alluded
to. In view of the treatment of the en-
gineers by the officials it was thought to
be nothing but an honorable thing to do
to allow the road to live up to its con-
tract and save annoyance and possible
damage money.
