The Manchester Examiner, which
stated that Mrs. John w. Mackay was a
washerwonan. has been obliged to
apologize and pay the costs Of libel
suit. 1t ia not safe to assume that
American women did not have grand
fathers, even if they do not know who
their ancestors were. 1t is to be con-
sidered "a settled that the lsdy's origin,
the reputable character OF which no one
ever questioned, was not SO closely
identified with daily labor as was
stated. No one on this side Of the ocean
would have thought less of the accom-
plished wife of our great self-made
miner If she had herself graduated from
the laundry. But it seems that they
regard those things differently in Eu-
rope. and Mrs. Mackay is entitled TO
have the exact truth told about her re-
cord. as much as anyone mentioned in
Burke's Peerage.

A'HUNGRY BEAR AT LARGE.
Midnight Scene in the Streets of Chicago in
Which Woman Is Badly Scared.

CHICAGO, Oct. 7.-There was an exciting
scene in an alley, near the intersection of
North avenue and Larrabee street, about 1
o'clock this morning The principals were
big black bear. q woman and two police
officers. The bear was the property of cir
Gus followers. and was kept in a cage
locked up in a barn. The animal, having
been confined in the cage all day without
anything to eat. began to get uneasy about
evening and broke out of his cage. The
bear wandered around in Out-of-the-way
places without meeting any one, until it
came to Larabee street. AS the animal
went around the corner, a woman came
around the same corner, going In an oppO-
site way. What followed can be easily
imagined. The female screamed and ran;
the bear roared and gave chase. 1t was q
race for life, the woman afterwards told
the officers, and it is reasonable to believe
that it was, for the animal was hungry
and not any too tame. albeit. Fortunately
two policemen heard the lady's screams,
and they hastened to her assistance. As
the officers rounded the corner of an alley
both fell head-foremoSt over the bear. The
fight that ensued was bloody in the ex-
discharged the contents Of their reviewers,
fourteen shots in ALL into the body of the bear
that bruin was killed. A search for the
lady was made, and she was found in a
dead faint about block away.

CHILD-EATING INDIANS.
Revolving Story of Cannibalism as Practiced
by Red Men in Northwestern Ontario.

OTTAWA. Ont. Oct. IA gentleman just
returned from an exploring expedition in
the wilds Of northwestern Ontario said
that he had discovered, during his travels,
tribe of Indians who have practiced cam
nibalism up to within few years ago,
when the country was first visited by
French missionaries. In the vicinity of
Abittibee lake he was shown an Indian
child whose grandmother had killed and
eaten seven of her young children, the
child's father being the only one to escape.
He made his mothers terrible deed known
to the chief of the tribe, who sent his men
TO arrest her. On entering the wigwam
they found the head of the last child boil
ing in n pot over the fire. She was ordered
to be shot, lots having. been drawn to see
who the executiOner should be. The un-
lucky straw fell to an old Indian. who sue
cessfully removed the unnatural mother
from doing further harm. On the Quinz
lake. several years ago. he found that a
full-blooded warrior had killed and eaten
fcnr of his sons, but was afterward shot
and killed by his fifth son.

Mr. Burrows Will Get All the Votes OF the
New States-Mr. Cannon's Chances.
Special to the Indianapolis Jour"al.
WASHINGTON, Oct. - lends of Repre-
sentative Burrows, of Nj an, are feel
ing quito we'll now oyel outlook for
their candidate for the xership. 1t is
claimed that the elections an the new States,
last week, added just five votes to Mr.. Bur
rows's strength. During the past summer
Mr.. Burrows made tour Of the Northwest.
In Washington he was called upon by the
newIy-elected congressman, whose friends
event of Republican success they would
give him vote for Speaker. At Helena
Mr.. Burrows was entertained at the
home of Mr.. Carter. who ran away
ahead of his ticket, and will be the first Con-
gresham from the State Of Montana. 1t is
no secret that Mr.. Burrows could have safe
ly relied upon both of the Dakotas for any
character of political support, ever since he
worked so hard for statehood for them in
the Forty-seventh Congress. eight years
ago, when he was chairman of the commit
tee on Territories. In fact. Mr.. Burrows
was one of the first advocates of statehood
for what are now the four new
States, ana this fact gives nlS
friends great deal of conf
dence. If it should prove true,
as claimed that Mr.. Burrows will get at
least % votes on the first ballot. and he can
hold them, his chances for the speaker
ship are bright indeed. No one claims
that he will early develop anything like
the strength of either Mckinley and Reed.
1t is claimed. and with good reason, that
he will hold the balance of power. Ii fire.
quently occurs, under such circumstances.
that the third man is chosen. No one is
there but says Mr.. Burrows will make
good Speaker.
Representative Hopkins, of Aurora,
ILL.,, is here and says the Repub-
lican members of the delegation
from his State are deeply in earnest and
very solid in their support of Mr.. Cannon
for the speakership. He said to day that
it required earnestness and perseverance, in
order to bring about success in any direc-
tion, and that the supporters of Mr.. Cannon
were not half-hearted by any means, and
that they really believe success viii likely
crown their efforts. IF solidity In num-
bers and purpose means any thing" said
Mr.. Hopkins, land If it is to be rewarded,
the illinois candidate ought to be success
full. have no idea how the first, the sec
ond. or any other ballot is likely to result
when the caucus meets to nominate a can
didate. only know that We are doing all
we can for Mr.. Cannon, who would make
an eminently good Speaker, and he is geo.
graphically well located for the position he
seeks.

Making Few Appointments.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, Oct. There is not much
political work going on at the White House.
The office-seekers are giving the President
q rest compared with what he has been
undergoing the past six months. The
President is devoting all of the time he can
take from his routine business and the pub
lie to the preparation of his message to
Congress, and as this fact is very well
understood among the people who usually
call upon him for offices and public favors
generally, he is given as much seclusion as
possible The preparation of n message to
Congress is an exhaustive work, requiring
great research, careful study of depart
mental reports and much consultation with
public men. Not all of the Senators, Rep
resentatives and business men from the
various walks of life, who now go 10 the
White House and have long talks with the
President. are there on political business
Many of them are giving advice rs to-what
should be recommended in the way of leg
islation. The President does not intend TO
consider applications for appointment. ex-
cept TO fill places where the public service
is impaired by the present status. till he
has completed his message. which Will not
be earlier than probably six weeks.

Gen. Browne Sees Nothing To Prevent the
Democrats from Doing as They Please.
Special the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON. Oct. 7.-"Yes, the minority
can practically rule the House this winter,
in spite of fate, and have no doubt that il
will rule" said Gen. T. NJ. Browne of In
diana, while discussing. this afternoon,
the announcement by Chairman Mills that
the Democrats do not intend to permit the
adoption of new set of rules, by which the
Republicans can do as they please. Gen
eral Browne is one of the oldest and most
influential Republicans in the House, and
his representations generally hold
good. He continued: Under the
most common parliamentary rules
the constitutional inherent parlia-
mentary rules which must stand under
all conditions-the minority. if mean
enough, can prevent the majority from do
ing anything. almost; and especially Is this
true where the majority is as slender as it
will be this session on the Republican side.
Filibustering will be easy. Motions to ad-
journ will always be in order. You know.
no matter what the rules are. the minority
can at all times demand quorum. L do
not believe it will be possible for us to
adopt set of rules which will give
US supreme power. No party has
ever done it. and / don't be-
ieve we can now. The majority
will be at the mercy of the minority, and
if we accomplish anything it will be by
