SOLOMON ISLAND NATIVES
Welcome Strangers Who Come Pros.
pecting for Gold
The Gold Hunters Killed and Eaten, and
Their Arms Kept as Memen-
toes Of the Feast.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2o.-Follow-
ing close upon the details of the massa-
ere of Baron Won Norbeck and the party
of scientists from the Austrian guard
ship Albatross by natives of the famous
Solomon islands comes another story of
treachery and death at the hands OF
these violent cannibals.
News is received per steamer Alameda
from Sydney that the steamship Titus,
that was recently dispatched from Au-
stralia to visit the coast OF New Guinea
and the Solomons, is at Port Jackson on
her return voyage from Marau sound.
Solomon group. The vessel lay near
Bourgainville for some days and insti-
tuted a search for party of gold hunt
ers. six whites and five natives, who
started in a whale boat for the new gold
fields at Moubara from Samoria. The
officers of the Titus. who We're at Port
Jackson on the 18th of October. report
that it is their opinion that the entire
party of whites were massacred either
on Bourgainville by the head hunters,
or on the coast directly across the
straits.
The Titus fell in with the revenue cut
ter Lily Rock, which was also cruising
on a search for the party, and learned
from Captain Oates of the craft that
investigation instituted by the govern
ment officers proved beyond the shadow
NJ a. doubt that the gold hunters had
nut ashore to pitch camp on the beach
and had been betrayed by their native
guides, killed and probably eaten. A
Winchester rifle and revolver were
found in a native village, and the weap-
ons were identified as the property of
the gold hunters.
Later it was learned that the gold
seekers whale boat was in the possess
sion of a chief on one OF the Solomons,
and that various other property or the
prospectors was scattered among the
coast villages of the islands. The white
men were undoubtedly butchered, and 1t
is surmised that the natives attack on
them was surprise cleverly planned.

are among the maladies for which
experience has proved it specific.
It's work is thorough, its effects are
prompt. 1t is not, however. adver-
tised to produce immediate cures,
though it affords speedy relief, and
will, if given a reasonable trial,
such as any standard remedy de-
serves, root out the maladies to
which it is adapted. In emergen-
cies arising in families, it is partic-
ularly servicable, and it is esteemed
throughout the land as a medicine
of comprehensive uses, wholesome
vegetable composition and unob-
iectionable flavor. 1t has risen to
popularity by purely legitimate
means, and only well substantiated
facts are alleged in regard to it..
Use it Systematically.

THERE WILL BE NO REACTION

Senator Jones is in high glee, over
the prospects of a grand Demo-
cratic victory and feels hilarious
now for the first time in several
weeks, as the goldbug papers and
those of the Republican party prat
ed so much over what they termed
reaction, but as the reaction
has not materialized, and assur-
ances are mailed to the headquar-
tiers daily, that everything is lovely
and the cause of the white metal
growing, the Senator could not
help but feel good.
Here is the way the newspaper
correspondent tells how good the
Senator feels:
Senator Jones was in high spirits
tonight. For the first time in the
campaign he ventured prediction.
Said he, as he pointed to a prodi-
gious table of telegrams and letters
received from the whole country
within the last "a hours: "The
Democratic electoral ticket will
sweep this country in November.
This is my information from Repub-
licans and Democrats alike. There
is going to be such a tidal wave as
the Democratic party has not en-
joyed in half a century. We are simp
ly overwhelmed with good news, and
it would be folly to specify the
States which are already in the
Democratic column. There will be
no reaction. In the nature of
things there can be none. You
may publish the fact that results
reached by our conferences within
the last II hours have assured the
Democratic party of victory in sew
eral States which have heretofore
been in doubt. | never have been
so sanguine as l am tonight, for
everything is coming our way, You
may add that l go to Chicago to-
morrow perfectly satisfied with the
situation of which we are masters. "
