THOSE PINE LANDS.
A Protest Against the Indians
Getting a Whack at Them.

Special to the Globe.
CRooKsToN, Minn., March 15.-The
following resolutions explain them
selves:
Whereas, at special meeting of the
CrookstOn chamber of commerce called
to consider the passages of the bill, ii.
r. 1885, for the relief and civilization of
the Chippewa Indians in the state of
Minnesota, the said bill providing for
the allotment of pine lands as well as
agricultural lands to said Indians; and,
Whereas, the amount Of pine timber
on the Red Lake reservation and tribu-
tary to the northwest portions of this
and in truth very limited and has been,
and now is, greatly Overestimated,
should the Indians. or most of them,
select pine lands, which we verify be-
lieve they will, as now per-
mitted by said bill, it will re-
uuire, take and exhaust most, if not
all of the valuable pine timber in said
reservation, thereby preventing and
prohibiting the investment of capital
and building of mills, improving water
powers, bOOms and other Improvements
now much needed, and leaving the peO-
pie of this portion of Minnesota and
Northern Dakota at the mercy of mo-
nopolies and railroad extOrtiOnS for their
lumber supplies; that it will be to the
best interests of said Indians to select
agricultural lands, inaSmuch as they
cannot improve pine lands, they being
worthless except for their timber.
Whereas. The greatest need felt by
the settlers on the vast prairies of
Northern Minnesota and Dakota is more
oh In
from which such lumber can he OBJ
tanned being on the said Red Lake res
ervatiOn; the speedy opening and util-
ization of the pine timber OH said reser-
vation is of great interest and import
ance to all OF this section of the country
for the benefit of all present and future
settlers for the building up and i'm
proving of the otherwise faireSt portions
of this Union, and for the encourage
ment of manufacturing industries and
general prosperity of the Northwest;
therefore,
Resolved. That this body of men
strenuously oppose the passage of said
bill as now provided, it being detri-
mental to the best interests of that pOr-
ton of our country aforesaid.
Resolved, That the senators in con-
gress from this state, and all others, be,
and they hereby are, earnestly requested
to use all honorable means in their
power to secure the passage of said bill,
provided it is so amended as to restrict
the allotment of lands to the Indians
under said bill to agricultural lands
only; and further,
Resolved, That a duly certified copy
of the foregoing preamble and resolu-
tions be Immediately forwarded to each
of our senators in congress, and all
others interested. and that they be re-
spectfully urged to secure the passage
of said bill amended as above recon-
mended.

ONE ENGINEER.
A Solitary Train Pulls Out From
Kansas City.


KANSAS CITY, March 15.-The engi-
neers and firemen on the vast system of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail-
road company went out on a strike at
o'clock this afternoon. The strike Gre
ated intense excitement and surprise in
this city, for the reason that the road
has not been handling Burlington
freight. That the strike was ordered
by some one in authority there is no
doubt, but in this city the men
profess utter ignorance of the is
suing of any such orders, and say
that they have quit because they
are "tlred," The first indication of
trouble here was at 4:30 o'clock this
afternoon, at which hour the Usage City
express was scheduled to depart. Con-
ductor w. NJ. Murray gave the order to
start when Engineer Higgins quietly
stepped down from the cab and refused
to pull out. The train was finally sent
out an hour later with Engineer Furst

gine remarked: "The brotherhood gave
me the worst of it once, and now am
going to get even." At the same time
that Higgins left his engine at the union
depot forty men employed in the Santa
Fe freight yards at Argentine quit work,
all declaring themselves ''tired." Moth
ing very positive can be said as to
the origin or cause of the strike. The
men had a grievance month ago,
and at that time had confer
ence with the officials and
they were granted all they asked for.

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

and Starvation Among Canadian
Indians.
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
river in the far Northwest six years
ago, is the worst instance of cannibal-
ism in Canadian America. 1t is said
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 a number of
murders. Her mode of killing the vic
Tins was by drugs made of native roots,
in 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 starv-
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 a 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 lie 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 Sunnosed Cause.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, March 15.-It
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
on the Santa Fe and about 1000 on the
Atlantic & Pacific who have stopped
work. All passenger trains which
started before 4 this evening will be
taken to their destination.

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.

LONDON, March 15.-All Paris is agog
again with excitement over Gen. Bou-
LANCER. The action of the war depart
ment in forcibly retiring that officer
from active service is looked on as
bold stroke of the government, and one
which may result disastrously for it. In
the opinion Of many his retirement
affords him chance of entering poll
tics, which was denied him before, and
it is even hinted that the general pur-
posely committed the acts charged
against him in visiting Paris three
times without permission in order that
he might bring about just such a result.
La Cocarde, the new paper and latest
advocate of the popular BOulanger. has
already reached an enormous circula-
ton, and its reception demonstrates
fOrcibly that the old enthusiasm with
which the former war minister inspired
the people has not lost any of it's force.
THIS PAPER OPENLY DEMANDS
the suppression of the present paria-
mentary regime, which it insists is ruin
ing the nation and seizeS upon every
opportunity to place its idol before the
French mind in the most favorable
light. La COcarde announces the be-
ginning of campaign by sword and by
pen for the displacing of the present
government, and opens the battle in full
feather with the most unsparing Ian
guage and unfavorable comments.
Many fear that Paris is ON the verge of
crisis which will equal the horrors
and distress of that of 1870.
The Official Journal publishes the de-
cree of the government which deprives
Gen. Boulanger of his command for a
breach of discipline in visiting Paris
without leave. Gen. Boulanger AYERS
that if he went to Paris it was to see his
wife, who was seriously i'll: He dis
cent elections, by which he received a
large vote from three districts as dep
uty, and says that he will never ally
himself to the enemies of the renublic,

CHICAGO, March 15.-When the petit
tion of the Burlington railway against
the Belt road came up for hearing this
afternoon, counsel for the Burlington
stated that the Belt line was now receiv-
ing Burlington cars; he therefore re-
quested the court to postpone further
proceedings in the case until called up
by the counsel for the defendant. Judge
Gresham asked if such an arrangement
would be satisfactory to counsel for the
Belt line. He replied that it would, but
at the same time he wished it distinctly
understood that the action of the Belt
line was not due to the petition of the
Burlington, but was a voluntary pro-
ceeding on the part of the directors of
the company.

r. KANSAS CITY, March l5.-Rumors are
persistently circulated here tonight
that strike will begin on the Kansas
City, Fort Scott & Gulf system at 10 a.
m. tomorrow, and on the Missouri Pacific
at p. m. tomorrow. The engineers
on both roads diSclaim any knowledge
of any such plan, but the sudden and
surprising turn of affairs on the Santa
Fe this evening strengthens the belief
I'm the reports. The Journal had private
advices tonight from Pleasant Hill,
this state, to the effect that Missouri
Pacific engineer was heard to say that
there would be strike on that road

states that Gen. Boulanger has recently
visited Paris on three different occasions
without permission from the war de-
partment. 1t is said he disguished his
identity by wearing pair of dark spec
tacles and by affecting lameness. The
journal dwells at length on the serious
nature of such breaches of discipline by
a general of the army and their effect
upon the army if they are pissed over
in silence. The journal prints report
made by the war department which has
received the approval of President
Carnot, whichsplaces Gen. Boulanger on
the non-active list, deprlving him OF his
command.
