PRESBYTERIANS
Want Wanamaker to Preside Over
General Assembly

CHICAGO, May 1.-The declination
of ex-President Harrison, who would
have been chosen with little or no oppo-
sition. has brought to the surface three
candidates for the moderatorship of the
Presbyterian general assembly which
is to meet at Winona. Indiana, the lat
ter part of this month. These are the
Rev, Sheldon Jackson of Alaska, the
Hon. John Wanamaker of Philadel-
pha and the Rev. DR.. Minton of San
Francisco.
The Rev. Mr.. Jackson is the candidate
OF the missionary or "hustling" ele-
ment. He has been a missionary for
twenty years, and during that time
has established over 100 churches in the
west.
There has never been an elder in the
moderators chair The lay element,
however is going to try to put one there
at the next session in the person of Mr.
Wanamaker, as the representative of
the business element.
DIR. Minton represents the conserva-
tive element, which adheres to the idea
Of having dignified, scholarly presiding
officers.
1t is understood that the committee
appointed to consider the question of
the retention of the mission house in
New York, which will cost 81, 700, 900,
Will report in favor of keepiAg it, al
though the annual loss in so doing will
be between $4,000 and $4,000.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-Commander
Leary who sailed under the guns of the
German ship at Samoa and threatened
to blow her out of the water if she land
ed men. has been found color blind, and
will probably be retired. Leary is the
second man in his grade. He will have
a captains vacancy waiting for him
in June if he can pass the examination.
He is one Of the pluckiest little fellows
in the service, and is considered an off,
Ger Of excellent judgment. During the
Samoan troubles just preceding the
great Apa wreck Leary sailed into the
harbor, finding a big German cruiser
ready to take possession of the town.
The little captain was on an old wooden
vessel, but instantly cleared decks for
action, got between the German cruiser
and shore and sent word to the German
commander that he would have have to
sink him before he could land.

making his home at Knute Hillstead's
farm off and on, came there yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Hillstead was absent.
About 1 o'clock this morning Norman

He said he would kill all the family IL
she did not open the door. She refused,
and Norman went upstairs and cut the
throat of Peter X. Hillstead, aged Is,
with a razor. After trying again to get
into Mrs. Hillstead's room, he proceeded
to carve the 13-months- son, Thomas,
after which he cut the throats of Adolph
and Oscar, aged II and g. He then forced
his way into Mrs. Hillstead's bedroom,
assaulted her. promising not to kill
her and her two little girls If she would
yield She did so, and thus saved her
life and the lives of her two daughters.
The oldest sons are still alive, but with
little hopes of recovery. The murderer
stole a horse and is at large.

FOUR MORE RESCUED
OF THE CREW OF THE BRIG
VALIANT
The Men Saved Dog, Which in His
Turn Saved the Sailors From
Cannibalism

ST. JOHNS, N. F., May 1.-The French
brigantine Amado, Captain Fortin, from
st. Malo, arrived at ST. Pierre tonight,
bringing four survivors of the lost brig
antine Valiant, which foundered after
striking an iceberg off the grand banks
on the night of April IA. These four were
the only survivors Of twenty-one men
who left the sinking Valiant in ships
lifeboat. seventeen having perished as
result of exposure and frost bites. The
bodies of the seventeen dead men were
thrown overheard. The four survivors
| claim to have kept themselves alive by
eating the flesh and drinking the blood
of dog belonging to the Valiant. This
dog, they say, they took with them when
they left the ship. They were absolutely
without water, provisions. sails. oars or
proper clothing when they left the brig
antine. They say they had only time to
jump from their berths into the life
boat, and that no opportunity was af-
forded to make even slight provisions
against cold and starvation.
The seventeen men who died suffered
excruciating torments. The survivors
seem to have Jared little better All four
of the men are very weak. Two of them
will lose all their limbs and the other
two will lose their feet as result of the
frost bites. The men tell story of a
fierce struggle on board the ship for
places in the boats, some thirty of the
crew going down with the wreck. A
somewhat similar fight occurred on
board the lifeboat, the men quarreling
about the division of the flesh of the dog,
which was killed on the morning of the
third day, when four men had already
perished. Three died the next day. six
the next and four the day previous to
their rescue.
The rescue occurred at midnight on
the sixth day. They were so exhausted
that they found it impossible to shout
when they saw the lights of the brigan-
tine Amade, which came near running
them down in the darkness. The men
say they saw nothing of the missing life
boats after leaving the Valiant, but they
are of the opinion that three boat loads
escaped from the wrecks besides the one
already saved
The captain perished. The survivors
rescued from the Amade assert that none
of the bodies We're mutilated and that in
this case no cannibalism was attempted
The condition of the four men previously
rescued continues unchanged. The cir
cumstances surrounding this latest res
cue are such as to induce the friends Of
the missing members of the crew to be-
lieve that other boats may yet be pick
ed up.
