SUBSISTED ON HUMAN FLESH.
TERRIBLE TRIALS OF FOUR SHIP
WRECKED SAILORS.
Driven to Desperation They Choose
Lots to Determine Who should be
Made Food for the Others.
Special to the REcoRp.ux1oS.

y.
HAMBURG, Jan. 31.-For sixteen DAYS
three sailors rescued from the Norwegian
ship Thekla subsisted on human flesh.
Three strangled the fourth companion.
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 of
them recovered sufficiently to-day to tell
the story of the Thekla's voyage.
The Thekla was in heavy weather from
December I'D, when she left PHILADELPHIA.
Her decks were flooded almost con-
stantly, the deck-houses and rails swept
away and the steering apparatus broken.
When it was found that 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 smashed
by the waves before they could be low
cred. Nine men were Obliged to remain
in the rigging. They were unable to get
food from below, and five of them, made
insane by exposure and privation, Jumped
overheard.
The other four remained aboard from
December I'D till January eth, the day of
the rescue. On the thirteenth day lots
were drawn to determine which one of
the four should be killed and eaten. The
lot fell twice in succession to a Dutch
sailor, and he was strangled and de-
voured raw by the other three. The
only drinking water the seamen got was
the dew they licked from the ropes.

NEW LIBEL LAW FOR FRANCE.
Authors of Unwarranted Attacks on
Banks to be Punished.


Banks to be Punished.
PARIS, Jan. 3l.-Bourgeois, Minister
of Justice, introduced in the Chamber to-
day a bill providing that authors of I'M
warranted attacks upon savings banks be
punished with Imprisonment for term
not longer than two years and not shorter
than two months.
Tirard, Minister of Finance, said de-
Tense bill of some measure had become
imperative, in view of the immense harm
done perfectly sound institutions by
frivolous newspaper articles.
Cassagnac replied that the Government
seemed going crazy on the subject of
libel laws. The Ministers should look
nearer home, if they wished to discover
the cause of distrust among bank de-
positors. The suspicion which under
mined public confidence was centered
upon the Ministers, and especially upon
those former Ministers who squandered
money of the Panama Company. This
statement evoked tumult.
Ribot deprecated the attempts to spread
the belief that savings banks had suffered
from the panic. Nobody could deny,
however, that the campaign against the
banks had done some harm, and threat
ened more. No other country in the
world would bear the burden of such
constituencies falsehoods, and there was
no reason why France should invite
perils which lay in them.
The bill then passed-326 to 166.
The Chamber also decided-335 to So
that the speeches of Ribot and Tirard be
placarded throughout France.

interesting Point Decided by the Idaho
Supreme Court.
BOISE CITY idaho, Jan. 31.-The SUI
preme Court has handed down decision
which involves an interesting point. Pat
rick Flood brought suit against WI. Nc
Clure as Sheriff for $3.50 damages growing
out OF an attachment on property claimed
to belong to Henry Foley, it being held that
1t had been transferred to Flood for fraud
ulent purposes. The jury gave verdict
in favor of Flood for $500, the verdict be-
ing arrived at by each juryman putting
down his idea of the amount that should
be awarded and then adding the whole
and dividing by twelve. The Supreme
Court holds that this was a resort to
chance and the decision of the icourt be-
low refusing new trial is overruled. A
California case had been cited i'll which
the Supreme Court OF that State had held
exactly the reverse, but this court pointed
out that the Idaho statutes required such
statutes as that under which the case
came to be construed literally. while the
California court was held TO a strict con-
StructiOn.

BIG CUT IN RATES.

Cheap Fares From New York to the
Isthmus.
New YORK, Jan. 3I.-The policy of the
Panama Railroad Company in putting on
line of steamships in opposition to the
Pacific Mail, has impelled the latter to re-
duce the passenger rate to Colon from $50
to $40, and the freight rate from 50 to 81
per ton. The significance of this action
will be grasped when it is considered it is
an eight-day journey to the isthmus. This
commercial war gains additional signifi-
canoe from the alleged fact that the man
agement of the Panama Railroad Com
pany has advertised abroad for foreign
steamers to carry freight from New York
to the isthmus.

OTTAWA (Ontario), Jan. 31.-The forth
coming annual report of Major General
Herbert, commander of the militia,
promises to create a big sensation. He
describes the military defenses of Canada
as useless, and criticises the militia from
the headquarters staff at Ottawa to the
lowest rank. He urges the reorganiza
ton of the staff, with the executive au-
thority centralized in his own person,
and adds that until this is done there will
continue to exist in Canada a condition
of military impotence for the defense of
her territory, side by side with the out
ward semblance of military body. He
likewise criticises the arms and equip
ment in scathing terms. He says they
are worn out and worthless, and suggests
that many pieces of military equipment
be sold for scrap-iron.
