OUTRAGES INDIA.
Natives Put to Death by British

Natives Put to Death by British
Agents.
LONDON. ..Special.-The English mind is
deeply troubled about the situation on the
eastern side of India in the recently ac-
quired provinces which form the kingdom
of Burmah The oppressive mlsmanage-
ment of the agents of Great Brit
ain reaches every class, however
humble, and day after day come the
sickening tidings of outrage provoked by
outrage, while undoubtedly much of the
worst is kept from the public. Burmese
who refuse to acknowledge the queen are
treated not only as rebels but as bandits,
and put to death when captured In cold
blooded way that reminds one of the hor-
rors that followed the Indian mut1ny. Just
at present a little of the British sympathy
lavished on political prisoners in Siberia
might we'll be bestowed on Burmah. Anoth-
er opportunity for British protest against
inhumanity perpetrated under the British
colors is offered in Borneo. Recent ac-
counts from the states in that island under
English protection represent that thousands
of coolies virtually kidnapped from China,
are held in condition of slavery to which
that of the American Southern states was
comparatively mild. These poor creatures
are induced to leave their homes under
Misrepresentation and once in Borneo they
are kept in bondage from which there is no
release except by death. If they attemptto
escape they are hunted like wild beasts,
rewards being offered for their capture 1t
1t is called q contract labor system, but it is
in reality servitude, compared with which
African slavery is mildness itself, and yet
the English colonial authorities are wilfully
blind to the hideous evils, while society in
London and other parts of the country are
raising money and proposing expeditions
for the suppression of slavery in Africa.

DESERTION DECREASING,

Secretary Proctor's Efforts to Re-
duce This Evil Bearing Fruit.
WASHINGTON, Special.-Reports received
at the war departm ent for the nine months
beginning with the fiscal year, July 1, 1889,
show that there have been 1873 desertions
from the regular army during that period.
For the corresponding months of the pre-
vious year there were 1893 desertions-a re-
duction this year of over 16 per cent. The
percentage of desertions to the en-
listed strength of the army has
been for this period 1-1O per cent, and
for the same period last year it was 7.6 per
cent. Secretary Proctor has labored dill
gently to reduce this evil. In his annual
report he showed that it was only partly
question Of administration; but that there
was also legislation needed. The house has
already passed bills in the line of the secre-
tary's suggestions and he believes that if
the same pass the senate and become laws
they will enable him to accomplish much
more in this direction. Not only is the
prevalence of desertion in the regular army
demoralizing to the army itself, but the ex-
pense which it makes the government in
the recruiting and transportation Of new
men is very large.

Real Names of Indians.

The Indians have neat way of fix
ing it. This Rain-in-the-Face, Spotted
Tail, Man-Afraid-of-his-H Horses, is good
enough to palm off on the whites, but
each Indian has another name the
whites never hear. First he is named
after his mothers gems or family.
There are only half a dozen each.
Snake, Wolf, Turtle, Bear, Eagle, and
SO on. You remember how, in The
Last of the Mohioans," the young Del
aware chief was found to have tor
toise tattooed on his breast, that gave
his family. He was a Turtle, just as
the bulk of the Scotch are divided into
a few clans, the Stewards, Campbells
Camerons, McGregors and others. To
the Indians family name is attached
another, but it would be bad medicine
to have it spoken outside the family
circle, and give some of his enemies a
chance to work spells and hoodoo him.
The Spotted Tail business is nom de
chasse, de guerre, or de toot, which

STANLEY AS GOVERNOR.
Belief That the Explorer win be tn

Belief That the Explorer VIII be the
Ruler in the Congo Free State,
LONDON, Special.-In Ithe present aspect
of the case it is regarded as great deal
more probable that Mr. Stanley will become
the governor of the Congo free state than
that he will enter the British service. As
governor of the Congo country he would
exercise more power than in any capacity
to which the British could assign him, and
he would be able to govern with an abso-
lutely free hand. Mr.. Stanley recognizes
the fact that King Leopold had the first
claim upon him, and tie implicit confidence
which that monarch bestows upon him is a
sufficient guarantee that no interference
with his government would be offered. 1t
is. therefore, believed that Mr.. Stanley will
receive his commission before he leaves
Brussels, if he desires it.
GIVEN AN OVATION.
BRUSSELS, Special.-Henry M. Stanley
reached this city to-day and was given an
ovation. The city was decorated in honor
of Mr.. Stanley and wore a gala APP
pearance. The flags of Belgium, the
United States and the Congo Free
state were lavishly used. A detachment of
the civic guard and body of troops were
drawn up at the railway station as guard
of honor to Mr.. Stanley, and, as he ap-
peared, the troops presented arms and the
band accompanying them played the Bel
gian and American national an
thems. Count Oultremont, who rep
resented the king, received Mr.. STAN

A Drunken Man With a Knife Breaks
Loose in Street Car.
CHICAGO, Special.-A drunken man with
butcher knife in his hand, slashing right
and left, caused panic in crowded street
car early this morning. The man, whose
name is SAID to be "Billy" Patterson, had
just showed himself inside the door when
he pulled knife from his coat pocket and
began flourishing it. The women passen-
gers began to scream, and tried to escape
rom the car, but it was SO crowded that the
front door was blocked, and nobody was
able to get out. oneof % the blows struck 'ls
side Of the neck, cutting a CASH five inches
in length. The blood from the wound
spurted out to the opposite side of the car.
Another blow was aimed at Henry Patnew.
It caught him in the face, nearly severipg
his jaw, and cutting his lip in twain.
Thomas Brennan was slashed on top of the
head, and it is feared that the blade pene-
trated the skull. Archey Patnew is liable
to die. Patterson was arrested. He rayed
like madman in his cell. There was no
provocation for the cutting.

Druggists and Physicians.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The long-standing dispute over the
respective responsibility of druggists
and physicians for the mistakes in
the administration of medicines, has
caused one of our city druggists to
produce examples of prescriptions
which, if filled literally, would be like
ly to cause an increase in the mortal
ity rates. The physician, for in
stance, who ordered twenty grains of
deadly drug to be put up when he
meant a twentieth, made O slip OF the
pen which would have been fatal but
for the Intervention of the prescrip-
ton clerk. The examples illustrate
the need of care in the writing as well
as the filing of prescriptions. AS to
the respective responsibility for err
rors, it is probably about equally
divided; and with regard to their fire.
quency, we are glad to believe that
the cases cited constitute the excep-
tions to the care which marks the
service, both of the profession that
gets .up at all hours to provide us
with drugs, and the one which as
sists us into the world, and, the cynic-
al might say, assists us out of it.
