KILLED BY SAVAGES.
Eate of u Correspondent and Conn
panfon on a Pacific Ocean Island.

TUCSON, A. T., Nov. A.-The fate of r.
E. Robinson. a newspaper correspondent.
VINO, with his companions, went down the
Colorado river from Yuma in the sloop
examiner, has just been learned. The news
comes from reliable sources. The men were
Killed with their own rifles. On April II.
1894, the sloop Examiner sailed from Yuma
for San Francisco, via the Colorado river
and the Gulf Of California. On board were
X. +. Robinson, James Logan, Charles
Cowell, George F'laven. known as CLARK.
the Trapper," and a man named O'Brien.
On reaching Angel bay, on the gulf Cowell
left the party, and the others sailed south
ward. On June 8 letter reached Yuma
from Guyamas. Mexico, dated May 81.
which had been sent by Flavell. and which
gave an account OF the sloop's trip to T-
burn island, which is close to the Mexican
coast, and of the probable killing there, by
the Indians of Robinson and Logan while
hunting on the island. Flavell said in his
letter that he and O'Brien only escaped be-
and succeeded in hauling % out their boats
before the Indians could shoot them.
On receipt of this letter telegram, was
to Representative Reed. asking him to in
woke the aid of the State Department in as
and IL igav vne sd la Seen on a ana ;ah Ugah
their slayers. The State Department asked
for fuller information. Pending an answer
ii was ascertained that Robinson, who was
newspaper man, had been the author Of
some lurid tales. which had given him the
reputation of being hoaxer, and it was
thought he had concocted the story and
given 1t to the press through Clark. Moth
ing more was done in the matter by the
United States government, although the
Mexican government sent a troop of dra-
goons TO the island, whose search proved
futile. The story of the killing of Robinson
and Logan is now confirmed by Prof. Nc
Gea and Professor Dunwoodie, of the eth
biological bureau of the Smithsonian In
stitute, who are just back from trip of
forty days among the Indians
ing, but finally admitted 1t, although
they would not point out the murderers.
They denied that the mems remains were
served at a cannibal feast. The explorers,
however found no trace OF the bodies. The
Indians have been life study of the Pro-
fessor, who says the savages are the most
primitive Indians they ever saw. They eat
their meat raw and live entirely by the
chase and sea. About four hundred Of
them survive.

Two Offers of Fifty Millions from one
Syndicate, the First at IIs.ssos and
the Second at 11-.o77.
LATTER MAY BE ACCEPTED
WILL MIKE THE RATE OF INTER-
EST BELOW 3 PER CENT.
Bids from Indianapolis Institutions
Aggregating $1,000 OOo--New Ma
tional Currency System Proposed.

WASHINGTON, Nov 2A-The bids for
the 100000 bond issue recently offered by
secretary Carlisle were opened at the
Treasury Department to-day. shortly be-
fore 1 O'Clock. At o'clock it was stated at
the department that a hurried calculation
showed that the total number OF separate
bids as 297, aggregattng SIS. $40 500. The
largest bid was the syndicate bid OF the
United States Trust Company. Drexel. Nor
gan & Company and others at 117.07 for
the whole amount none. This bid was
the best offered, as the aggregate OF BIDS
above this figure was only about S10324150.
leaving about $50 az a less figure. IL
therefore seems quite probable that the
syndicate bid will be accepted, although
Secretary Carlisle stated that he could not
express an opinion as to the result until
next Monday. when the awards will be
made. According to the terms OF this bid,
the government Will pay 2S7S per cent in
terest on the s5o.cco.Oo0. as against per
cent. carried by the February issue. There
is possibility, however, that a close
calculation will disclose the fact that there
is a sufficient number Of bids at a better
rate than this. which, with the second
syndicate bid at 116.Ss9S. or 2S9s per cent.
may make a combination slightly more ad-
vantageous TO the government than the
other. although this is very improbable. Al
together, the result OF the bids is emf
nenty satisfactory to the treasury officials,
as it shows that not only was there a brisk
rivalry for the bonds. but the rate OF in
terest demanded was even lower thar was
generally expected. At no time during the
pendency of the issue has Secretary Car
Isle doubted that it would ali be eagerly
taken and at satisfactory rates
