at Princeton, but gives no explanation
as to how the wagon became riddled
with bullets( The latter fact is what
made the police suspicious, it being be-

BOLIVIA CANNIBALS.
Father and Son Brutally Tortured to
Death and Eaten by the
Carangas Indians.

PANAMA. Aug. 16.-The Star and
Herald prints the following details OF
the recent double murder by Indians in
Bolivia:
The Indians of Carangas killed the
magistrate of the court of Oruro Senior
Arce, and his son, who was with him.
The unfortunate men seeing the
menacing attitude Of the Indians
took refuge in priests house, which
was surrounded by the Indians, who
threatened to set fire to it. Having
held council of martyrdom they re-
solved that the life of the son should
be taken first. and in the presence of
the father they clipped out his tongue,
extracted his eyes and otherwise tor
tured him until he was dead As the
blood flpwed from the body they caught
it in horn cups and drank it with
avidity.
They then put the father to death in
like horrible manner. A carnival of
Cannibalism was then held over the
bodies until the flesh was eaten to the
bones. This account of such inhuman
barbarities occurring within the region
of civilization is almost inersditable.
This story also seems to explain the
reason for report that it was ex. Presi-
dent Arce. who is at present in Chill,
who had been assassinatsd, but as has
been made known already it was a
namesake OF his that was the victim of
these Indians. and the unfortunate
magistrate was the man.
Advices from Chilli to the Star and
Herald says: "The steamer Longavi,
belonging to the Compania Sud-Amsr-
icana, while bound from Carahue to
the north ran on rock during dense
fog and is total wreck. Many lives
were lost but the exact number is un-
known"

WASHINGTON, Aug. %

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.
Un1HEN it was known that Speaker
WAUI Crisp had seen Mr.. Cleveland
VUI today there was rush of
w members to the speakers room
In order to learn the presidents inten-
tion as to the tariff. All the speaker
would say was that the president
would probably allow the bill to be-
come law without his signature. He
said the president had not told him
what he would do but from his gen
eral conversation regarding the bill
the speaker made the foregoing dedue-
tion.
The president it ia said has not hesi-
tated to express to some OF his callers
his objections to the bill. These oh.
jections are as strong to-day as they
were when his now famous letter to
Chairman Wilson was read in the
house more than month ago. None
of those who saw the president asked
whether he would veto the bill The
constitutional limit of ten days in
which the bill may become operative
without the presidents signature will
be reached at midnight on Monday
next.
Some of the Democratic leaders who
saw the president this morning have
urged him strongly to sign the bill.
They have represented that any other
course would discredit the measure and
the party. and it would be serious
handicap to them when on the stump
during the October campaign. The
president is reported to have heard
these gentlemen patiently and to have
shown by his responses that he was not
insensible to their argument. In some
cases they returned to the capitol feel
ing that after all there was possibility
that the presidential signature would be
affixed to the measure, but. as one of the
number expressed it, there is only a
possibilityai'assss sig ,s,lsese,
Equal uncertainty also exists whether
President Cleveland will send a mes
sage to Congress concerning the bill.
He has been urged not to do so, but to
withhold anything he may choose TO
say on the subject until the re-as.

GARDENERS FAR AWAY.
Altoona's Bank Cashier Enrouts for the
Flowery Kingdom

floWery hln6uom.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 23 "A rumor
was circulated last evening that
Henry A. Gardner, the default
ing cashier of the Altoona bank,
who disappeared recently with over
800, 900 of the banks funds,
was in this city. 1t was said that he
had been seen here and that the news
OF his whereabouts was made known to
the Altoona police through a telegram
sent from this city by some unknown
party, who was also kind enough to
volunteer the information that he was
here awaiting the recovery of Mrs
Gordon VINO was in the hospital
Superintendent Linden was commun-
icated with, but failed to locate Gard
ner and could not discover any woman
n m d Gordon in any of the hospitals.
The superintendent scouts the idea that
Gardner has been in this city since his
theft and believes with the United
States authorities that the missing
cashier is on his way to either China or
Japan. The story is strengthened by
the fact that man answering Gard
ner's description was seen few days
ago in Portland, Ore.
