STRANDED IN brazil
CANADIANS DIS
TRESSED IN SOUTH AMERICA.
Appealing for Means to Return Home
-Huddled Together Like Cattle
No Work Except on an Odd Contract

NEW YORK-A Sun special from
Ottawa says: The most deplorable
accounts have been received by the
Government here from the Canadians
who last summer emigrated to Brazil
in the expectation of making a live
lihood there. Thousands of French
Canadians, with their families, had
taken passage in a steamship chart
cred to carry them from Montreal, and
it was only with the greatest difficulty
that some 500 of them were induced
to abandon the idea of going to Brazil
the day the steamship sailed.
Those who went out there are now
imploring the Government and their
friends to send them money to enable
them to return home. Many have
died of exposure, disease and want of
food \ few managed to escape, and
worked their way north again, and
they, knowing the condition in which
their countrymen are placed, are put
ting forth every effort - heip them
to return to Canada.
One of them says that when they
reached Santos, Brazil they were hud-
died together in barge like a lot of
cattle and taken to Sac Paulo, their
food consisting of a piece of dry bread
and little cheese. At Sac Paulo, their
were showed into barracks, where they
were kept in confinement for eight
days.
They tried to get work, but could
not. The only employers that APP
peared were the owners of coffee and
sugar plantations, who wanted the
Canadians to sign a contract to work
for ten years cutting down the brush
and cultivating the plants that would
be put in. and then, at the end of that
period, the workers if they survived,
would receive for their hire one-half
the value of the plantation, which
might turn out worthless.

fishermen on the Frische Half, near
Konigsberg, in east Prussia. For some
time they had noticed two otters which
had ventured on to the ice. AS they
were watching them, large hawk
came flying from neighboring forest
and alighted on the ice not far from
the offers. Soon, however, it scared
into the air again, swooped down like
lightning on one of the offers, and
stuck its claws into its back The
other otter fled. A desperate fight en-
sued. 1t lasted ten minutes, and ended
in the death of the hawk tsneck was
bitten through, only thin strip of skin
remaining to unite its body with its
