CRICkETS AS CANNIBALs.
An Observer is Convinced That The,
Sometimes Eat Each Other.


In an assemblage of many crickets kept
for certain observations in a rearing draw
er or box (caja de herbcrizacionl the num-
bers diminished from day to day; at last
only one-not a little fattened-remsined
by the side of the remains of his former
companions, says Natural Science. Hith-
erto cannibalism among the crickets has
been noticed only among captives but I am
now enabled to state that under certain
conditions cannibalism is present among
some orthoptera in the free state, at all
events among the locusts.
In the summer of 1888, in which the ex-
cessive heat and drought had brought
about the nearly entire disappearance OF
vegetation in a good part of the country.

try of the Band Oriental, / had occasion to

At one place, La Piedras, at which the dill

locusts of the species pezatcttix vittiger.

fact of seeing around one locust a number
of other individuals of the same species.
which were eating its soft parts even while
it was yet alive and protesting vigorously
/ saw different attacks, in which the con-
Querors, two or three at a time, got hold
of the weaker members of their own kind,
throwing them over and opening the abdo-
men in order to devour the entrails, these
being the softer and mere savory portions
since they still contained some of the vege-
table food.
Canr .balism here appeared in its lowest
development and the numerous remains OF
those which had been eaten bore witness to
the extent to which the process had been
carried. In The face of facts of this char
! acter ii seems certain that nothing is
sacred in nature when the prolongation of
life for the sake of the preservation of the
species is concerned.

T o ST OP WILLIS
The Cabinet Said to Be Unanimous in
Leaving Hawaii to Congress

The Hawaiian question was fully corsid-
cred in all its bearings at the regular meet
ing of the cabinet today. All the members
were present The session began at IL
O. clock and lasted until 2:l5 O'Clock. I he
report of Minister Willis telling os lis fail
ure to convince the provisional government
of the justice and proprie-y of abdicating
in favor Of Queen Liliuokalani was before
the meeting, and was discussed In all its
details.
1t is understood that the cabinet was
unanimous in its Endorsement of the propo-
sition that further action by the executive
branch of the government In the Hawaiian
affair be governed entirely by the action of
Congress, and that Minister Willis be in
structed to proceed no further in his Efforts
to enforce the Presidents ultimatum for
the restoration of the queen. 1t was decided
to withhold the contents OF Minister Willis
report from the public for the present. and
with that object in view ii was Thought
best to postpone its delivery to Congress.
To BE Withheld.
This action is said to be due to a desire to
hear the views to be brought from Honolulu
by the City of Picking. now overdue at San
Francisco before sending the Willis report
to Congress. There may have been import
ant changes in the situation since the
Warimoo left Honolulu. January ], news of
which may possibly be brought by the City
of Picking.
The failure to send i'm the Hawaiian cor
respondence today and the possibility of the
Senate's adjourning this afternoon until
Monday will be sure to keep the public in
ignorance of the latest official news from
Hawaii until Monday at least. 1t is not
considered good etiquette to send mes
sage to Congress unless it can be delivered
to both houses at the same time.
II is still official secret whether dis
patches to Willis will be forwarded by the
Mariposa, which leaves Sar Francisco to-
day. or whether the Corwin will be used
for that purpose.

MICROBES CARRIED BY BULLETS.
Taken From Infected Flannel Through
Which the PrOiectile Was Fired.

Some interesting experiments were lately
made by DIR. Mesmer, says the London
News. by way of solving the question
whether not rifle bullets are liable to
carry infection with them in. their course of
entry into the body. He made his trial
with bullets which had been infected with
germs of a particular kind. and the in
fected bullets were shot into tin boxes from
distances varying from 225 to 10 meters
a meter being nearly 3 feet "a inches
Inside the boxes were placed gelatine pep
tone in steriliZed or germless condition so
that whatever germ developments were
found in the peptone (Which is a great
growing medium for microbes) would be
presumed to have come from the bullets.
TIL. tracks of the bullets through the CELIA
tine were duly scrutinized, with the result
tina. In each case germ growth took place
CORES ponding to the particular microbes
with " hich the bullets had been respective
ly infected. In another series OF investiga-
lions the bullets were made to pass through
infected flannel before penetf ating the gela-
tine, the bullets being of the ordinary KIND.
Here, again, microbic growths appeared in
the ge;atine. showing that the flannel had
yielded up its microbes to the bullets as
they traversed II. If non-infected and or
binary bullets were used, the gelatfne de-
veloped only the ordinary germ life such as

germ carrier of very decided kind and N Is

FINANCE AND TRADE.
Money Pouring Into New York
From the Interior.
INABILITY 10 MAKE INVESTMENTS.
A Slight Rally by Traders in Wall
Street.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE opening OF
today's stock market was entirely void OF
incident and prices dragged through the
first hour at fractional concessions from
closing figures. London was dull and sold
few stocks here principally st. Paul. The
supply Of stocks for borrowing purposes
increased visibly during the day and several
prominent operators returned stock borrow
ed earlier in the week. Western Union and
General Electric are still in demand, how
ever. at a slight premium.
Traders worked successfully for a short
rally just before noon and prices moved up
from 1-2 to / per cent in response to their
efforts.
The market lacked both snap and energy
and periods Of stagnation followed every
spasmodiC squirt of activity. There was no
news of sufficient Importance to attract at
tentiOn as a factor in speculation.
The receipts of money from the interior
during the week have been very large and
will correspond favorably with last week s
figures, although the gain from subtreas-
ury operations will be a trifie less. owing
to the completion of interest payments on
the public debt during the first week Of
the year. Four of the more prominent down.
town banks have gained 1,Jo0.OO0 during
the week and basing estimates on these
figures the net gain in currency received
by express will reach $5,250,U0O.
Holiday money confines to How into the
vaults Of banks situated in the interior
and Is promptly shipped here in order to
earn the per cent interest allowed by our
banks to out-of-town correspondents on
credit balances. In the present congestion
of the money market the local banks lose
the interest thus paid in accordance with
custom. as they are unable to increase
their loans proportionately. The banks
have received from the subtreasury dur
Ing the week s12OOOOOO and have paid

Mr.. Warder was prominent manu-
factLrer of Springfield. Ohio and made a

soon as he decided to make Washington his
permaE emit home he built one of the hand
soonest houses then in the city at l5ls X
street. Mr.. Warder was a man of quiet
tastes and Of great refinement Although
he never went to an extreme, ne was well
known in the social life OF the capital End

He was also director in the American Sc
curity and Trust Company and was quietly
engaged in a number OF other business en-
terprises.
MIR. Warder was a charitable and benef-
cent man, though not in public way. his

though the end was entirely unexpected.

mains will be brought back to his home for

LATE NEWS BY WIRE.
Murder Followed by Suicide in Two
Cities.
ST. LOUIS and CINCINNATI CRIMES.
Lynching Of a Colored Boy in
Ohio.
Furnishing TWO EMBEZZLERS

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Jan. 12--About $50 last
night Mrs. Josie Ranke. alias Stevenson,
was shot and killed by Steven J. Wilsko,
who then turned the pistol to his own
breast and shot himself through the heart.
The tragedy occurred at 1412 Olive street.
The woman was about twenty-five years of
age and very handsome. From a lot of let
tiers found upon the two a series of liason
had been carried on by the woman. She
was the wife Of VIM. Ranke of Burnham.
Mo-. but left him several years ago and
lived with John Stevenson of Joplin. Mo.
She afterward became acquainted with VIII
sko. who lived at Independence. Mo. On
her arrival here some two months ago she
found employment with the Lundberg
Tailoring Company. There she became &C
quainted with p. II. Mason. a cutter. All
this time she was corresponding with Ste
venson and Wilsko. each of whom thought
her true to him. Yesterday the woman
changed her rooming place and wrote a
note to Mason. asking him to call last
night. She returned from a walk. accom-
doubt. at the tailor shop. The note to
Mason was found on Wilsko's person.
showing he had called at the tailor shop
and had seen Mason, who gave him the
woman's letter.
When found both bodies were partly
dressed for the street Wilsko left a short
scrawl. saying he was going to die and
asking his brother knights of Pythias to
bury him. Stevenson's letters to the wom-
an were very tender. He asked her to re-
turn to him. get a divorce from Ranke and
marry him.
One theory is that Ranke and Wilsko are
Identical and that one of his names is an
alias.
A Similar Affair at Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI. Ohio. Jan. 12.-Ed Lewis. a
young carpenter, and his wife have been
leading an unhappy domestic life in two
rear rooms on the third floor of tenement
house at 300 West 9Th street. Yesterday
Mrs. Lewis had her husband arrested for
beating her. AS she was leaving home this
morning for the police court with q neigh
Dor. the two women were confronted by
Lewis at the bottom OF the stairs. He was
livid with rage. SEEKING his wife by the
throat he pressed revolver against her
temple and fired As she fell he fired a sec
ond shot through his own BRAIN Both died
almost instantly.
