Lived on Human Flesh.

A horrible sea tale comes from
Hamburg: For sixteen days the
three sailors who were rescued
from the Norwegian ship Thekla
subsisted on human flesh. The
three strangled a fourth compan-
ion and lived on raw strips of meat
cut from his corpse. From the
time of their rescue until to-day
the three unfortunates have been
insane from their sufferings in the
rigging of the laundering ship.
Two recovered sufficiently to-day
to tell the story of the Thekla's
voyage.
The ship was in heavy weather
from December I'd, when she left
Philadelphia. Her decks were
flooded almost constantly. The
deck-house and rails were swept
away and the steering apparatus
was broken. When it was found
there was no hope of bringing the
ship into port the master, mate
and eight seamen got away in a
boat. The other boats were smash.
ed by the waves before they could
be lowered.
Nine men were obliged to remain
in the rigging. They were unable
to get food from below and five
were made insane by exposure anc
privation and jumped overheard
The other four remained aboard
from December 22d till January
9TH, the day of rescue. On tn
thirteenth day lots were drawn t,
determine which one of the fou
should be killed and eaten. TIL
lot fell twice in succession to
Dutch sailor, and he was stranglet
and devoured raw by the others
The only drinking water the sea
: men got was the dew they lickeC
from the ropes.-S. F. Chronicl

M'DONALD ON ANNEXATION.
Canadians. He Says, Dare Not
Express Themselves for it
Though They Wish 1t.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Jan. 49, - Two
men who have within the past two
days visited Buffalo make an inter
esting comparison, the Hon. Forez de
Villeneuve, of Quebec, and r. A.
Macdonald, Of Toronto.
The former is a Frenchman who
has won fortune and distinction by
shouting for British connection and
displaying ultra loyalty to England.
The latter now looks back upon
wrecked fortune of 100000, has been
stripped of his regimentals, which he
wore as an officer IN Her Majesty's
militia, deprived of his seat in the
Toronto Council, defeated in his con-
test for seat in the Provisional Par
lament and finally forced to sell his
furs and diamonds.
M. de Villeneuve sees obstacles to
annexation, while Mr.. Macdonald
sees in annexation rich financial BEN
efits.
At the Tiff House Mr.. Macdonald
said IL conversation to-day:
"Those who say that the annexa-
ZIONIST sentiment is not popular In
Canada say that which is not so, and
give expression to an untruth which
in their own minds and hearts they
know to be untrue.
1T is easy to be seen why the timid
advocates of annexation dare not
wear the badge of their principles on
their breast and speak their views In
public.
''It means ostracism by the
churches, injustice in the courts and
general snub from life appointed
officials for the man who comes out
squarely for annexation.
"He is called a traitor and other
vile names. But let every fair minded
American look at our condition and
then at the principles which the an
nexationist in Canada advocates.
"Real estate has become liability.
1t is cheaper to pay rent than taxes.
All our best blood is going to the
United States.
THE court at Ottawa is bloated,
but the people poor Taxpayers are
grooming under the weight of a gov
eminent as expensive as that which
rules the seventy million people OF
the United States, besides paying
tribute to England in the way OF
paying a Governor General $4,000 G
year and supporting his expensive
suite at Rideau Hall.
"The country is impoverished
bankrupt and is now experiencing
difficulties in floating loans in the
mother country, for England is nov
doubling the value of Canadian
securities.
'Sloth exists in all the market:
and the colony is beggared to sup
port in magnifcence few"

Spreckels Must Pay the Freight.

Judges Wales and Green, in the
United States Circuit Court of APP
peals, affirmed the decision of the
lower court in the suit of James W.
Harrison, master of the steamship
Wetherby, against Sugar Refiner
Claus Spreckels. The vessel, with
$4,000 bags of sugar, from Ham
burg for Philadelphia, came into
collision with the steamship Sui
tan, on the Elbe River. The
Wetherby was injured, and had to
return to Hamburg where, after a
survey, 14,515 bags of the sugar
were sold by Captain Harrison.
The ship delivered the remainder
of the cargo to Mr.. Spreckels in
this city, who paid the freight on
it, but declined to pay the freight
on the sugar sold in Hamburg.
The lower Court awarded Captain
Harrison $16O4.0S as the balance
of freight due, with interest, and
Mr.. Spreckels appealed to the Su.
preme Court. Judge Dallas filed
dissenting opinion, saying that
as the word delivered" had been
struck out in the contract and the
words "on intake weight" inserted
in its place, the freight charges on
the sugar not delivered in Phila-
delphia were not recoverable. -

THE AUDIENCE AGREED.

If the hearty applause which fol-
lowed the reading of the resolu-
ton failed to indicate the thorough
appreciation of those present, the
deep-toned chorus of "ayes" which
went up when Chairman Pond put
the question of adoption would
have convinced any one that San
Francisco merchants surely want
Hawaii.
Before the final disposition of
the resolution, Captain w. L..
Merry, chairman of the committee
which drafted them, urging their
adoption. He said:
The committee desires to say that it
consulted every one of the Hawaiian
Commissioners and has acted as con-
servatively as it has. thought right.
While it is departure from the set
tied policy of this country to annex
foreign territory, the advantages to
be gained are so great that the COM
mittee feels that it cannot do other
wise than recommend this action. /
remember when Captain Lundbough
of the Swedish navy once said: 'The
strategic position of Lake Nicaragua
is greater than Gibraltar's. Place fleet
there with cable communication and
another at the Sandwich Islands and
you control almost the world" The
nation that controls the Sandwich Isl
ands controls the commerce as well as
the military situation in the Pacific
and America should control them.

that they have lately been
looking upon annexation as pos
sible remedy for their recent lack
of prosperity. Thus the Queen, if
not tricked into a blunder, played
into the hands of those who saw in
revolution and annexatian the best
way out of commercial distress.
The thing absolutely certain for
the moment is that no European
domination over Hawaii, even in
the form of a joint protectorate,
will be permitted. The alternative
is autonomy-doubtless now as a
republican annexation to the
United States. The first points to
learn are how far the Commits
sioners from Hawaii represent her
people, and what terms they pro-
pose.

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR
A LIVELY SESSION OF THE GEN
ERAL ASSEMBLY.
Brr. PowderIy Defends Himself Against
the Charges of Secretary Hayes
Consolidation of labor
Organizations.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1.-THE fourth
day of the Knights of Labor assembly
was the liveliest yet. Powderly made
scathing denunciation of the methods of
certain men in the order and denounced
the charge made by Secretary and Treas
urer Hayes as absolutely and unquali-
fiedly false. He said there bad been no
misapplication of funds donated to the
relief of the strikers at Homestead and
that svsfy scs at the executive hoard
was open to the inspection OF the dele
gates to the general assembly. He
asked the general assembly if they were
not satisfied with his explanation. He
intimated that charges and false re-
ports were given to newspaper repre-
sentatives by persons who had griev-
ancee, real or fancied, against members
OF the executive board.
He stated he had the personal aesur-
ance OF the officials OF several large labor
organizations that they would take inn
mediate steps to set the matter of ANAL
gamation with the Knights before their
respective associations.
A meeting was held tonight for the
purpose of considering ways and means
for the amslgamstion of all the existing
labor organizations. 1t is asserted that
representatives from all the large bodies
of workingmen were present, and plans
formed that if carried out will bring
about consolidation. Those present
are said to represent q member
ship of from 100000 to l,000, GOO.
just what organizations outside
the Knights of Labor and the
Federation of Labor, were repre-
sented, could not be ascertained, it be-
ing explained that the representatives
at the meeting, while being men of
influence in their order, were not Off
cial!y authorized to act. II the Knights
OF Labor representatives at the meeting
have any say, however. Mr.. Powderly, it
is stated, will occupy q prominent ex-
ecutive position in the new order. The
matter will pe brought before the gem
eral assembly tomorrow, and the friends
of Mr.. Powderly think they can carry it
through.
