The Companies Will Fight 1t Out.

Seattle, Oct S.-The city council
has passed an ordinance requiring that
the electric wires in the business dis
trict of the city be put underground,
and giving the companies ninety days
in which to remove their poles from
the streets. The electric companies say
that the expense of the change would
be SO great that it would be impossi.
bic for them TO make it, and they are
preparing TO make hard fight to test
the right of the council to enforce an
ordinance which, the electric companies
claim. amounts 10 confiscation of prop
erty. The fact that some of the COM
panies are in the hands of receivers ap-
pointed by the United States courts
adds to the contest the feature of prob.
able contempt of court by the council
if it attempts to have the wires of the
companies changed, without first hav-
ing a petition granted by the federal
court.

Prisoners Taken Were Killed and
Eaten by Their Captors.
San Francisco, Oct 1.-Two large
villages, Pien Cheng and Tang Cheng,
distant seven miles from Ty Sami. in
the Canton province, China, We're re-
Gently the scenes of shocking deeds in
cannibalism and wanton destruction OF
productive property.
The Swatow correspondent of the
China Mail on August 90 forwarded
the details Of the fight between the two
by row over water rights. By a
night attack the people Of Tang Cheng
cut the sea embankment and let in the
sea water SO as to destroy a large part
of their enemies rice, then almost
ready for cutting. Reprisals followed,
and, though the villages are distant
only twenty miles from the two dis
trict cities, Hao Hong and Loik Hong,
the fighting continued a month, in
volving many villages and causing a
large number of deaths.
The worst feature, however, is this:
BY one side three, and by the other
four, prisoners were taken alive. These
men were killed and eaten-seven III
all. 1t was not in this case as others,
an eating of the heart only. Every
eatable portion WAS consumed, most of
it being given to the children of the
villages. Although not unprecedented
in that district, such an act is unusual,
and led to the appointment of a special
deputy to inquire into the case.

hour by the promise Of his papa to buy

Both were under age. but that made
no difference to Zeile. and they were

him away. Young Mrs. Zeile has ap-
peared on the local stage in several

She apparently has no ill-feeling
