SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23.-Among

Nichols and the formers little son.
who are en- route from Hong Kong to
their home in Bath, Me, after having
passed through a terrible experience.
They left New York in March last on
board the ship Abner Coburn, of which
Mrs Nichols husband was the cap
tain, for a pleasure trip to Hong Kong.
June 10 the Coburn ran into a gale.
Sail was shortened and everything
made as snug as possible, but just as
Capt Nichols was coming up the com

big sea washed ever the stern, smashed
the wheel, rolled the two Steersmen in
to the scuppers and hurled the skipper
down the companionway, inf1icting in
juries from which he died eight hours
later. Chief officer NJ L. Marks was
thrown against one of the boats and
seriously hurt. The storm continued
for two days after the captain died,
but the second officer, J. F. Nichols, a
son of the skipper, rigged up a jury
rudder and navigated the vessel for
fifteen days, during which time Chief
Officer Marks was confined to his
berth. Capt Nichols was buried at

LARGE LOGGING CONTRACT.
W. p. Tearse. WinOna, Agrees to
Bank 100000 Feet.

A logging deal was consummated
yesterday by which the contract was
let to w. P. Tearse, of Winona, to bank
15.000,00O feet of logs for a syndicate
of Lindsay & Phelps, of Davenport,
the Gable Lumber company of Daven-
port and the Rock Island Lumber
company, the coming winter. The logs
will be cut in the vicinity of Mansfield,
and will be banked on the st. CroiX.
In order to complete it, Mr.. Tearse
will be obliged to employ crews of
about 400 to 500 men.
Mr. Tearse, G. w. Gable and George
f. Lindsay, of Davenport, and j. P:
Weyerhauser, of Rock Island were at
the Merchants last evening, and in
discussing the log and lumber situation
agreed that there seemed to be a gen
eral improvement in business all along
the line The indications are that the
cut the coming winter will be greatly
in advance of that of a year ago. and
the demand and prices of lumber are
better than for some time past. Mr..
Cable remarked incidentally that the
contract was closed recently by which
O'Neal Brothers, of Saltwater, were
to cut and bank about 25,000,000 feet
of logs for his concern, Laird, Norton
& Co., of Winona; Lamb & Son, of
Clinton, To-, and Weyerhauser &

will be cut on the Mile Lacs and bank

fully, unlawfully and fraudulentiy'
reiterated his statements about the
fcreclosed mortgage, when in truth the
mortgage never had been foreclosed,
and that these statements were made
to her by defendant "to defraud and
cheat her"
According to the petition of April 29,
1897, defendant presented to plaintiff
paper for her to sign, representing to
her that she must of necessity sign it
in order to protect her interests. The
complaint alleges that he did not eX-
plain to her precisely what the paper
was, and that he knew she was not
acquainted with it's contents; that she
reposed entire confidence and faith in
him as her agent and in his honesty
and integrity in his dealings with her
with regard to her property; that she
placed her signature to the paper,
which proved to be a quit claim deed
to the property in controversy.
This deed, plaintiff alleges, was filed
with the register of deeds on Aug. II,
1897 and that this instrument was neV-
er acknowledged by plaintiff according
to law nor authorized by her, and that
it was so presented to her to cheat
and defraud plaintiff of her right, title
and interest in the property and to
enable defendant to acquire title to
it, that defendant ''falsely and fraud
ulently" pretends and claims to be
owner to the property and appropri-
ates the rents and profits from it.
In order that she may have her
rights re-established to the property
plaintiff asks the court to clear the
title and order an accounting by de-
fendant of all moneys alleged to have
been received by him as rents from the
property from Sept. 1, 1896; also that
Judgment be given against defendant
for any balance found to be due upon
the accounting.

POLICY OF PARLIAMENT.
Bank of England Carrying 1t Out,
Says High Official.

LONDON, Sept 23 The protest
which the London bankers drew up at
their meeting in the clearing house
yesterday against the policy of the
governor of the Bank Of England in
announcing it's willingness to maintain
One-fifth of it's bullion reserve in silver
was presented to the bank today The
resolution is accompanied by a formal
letter, and the resolution itself is in
the name of the clearing house asso-
citation, as, although the members were
not represented at the meeting, a ma
jority of the membership was repre-
sented and unanimously adopted the
resolution, which is as follows:
That this meeting entirely disapproves of
the Bank of England agreeing to exercise
the option permitted by the act of 1884 of
holding one-fifth or any ether proportion what
ever of silver as reserve against the circu-
lation of the Bank of England notes.
That copy of this resolution be sent
to the Bank of England, the prime minister
the first lord of the treasury and the chan
cellor of the exchequer."
An organized movement has begun
to induce other commercial bodies to
protest against the announcement of
the governor of the Bank of England
A high official, who was partici-
pant in the negotiations between the
United States bimetallic commissioners
and the British cabinet, said today to
representative of the Associated
Press: Il fear the bankers will fright
en- the government into receding from
their stand for bimetallism They
have forgotten that parliament unani-
mously resolved measures to secure a
stable par of exchange between gold
and silver and Sir Michael Hicks
Beach fhe chancellor of the eXcheq-
uer pledged himself to do all in his
power to carry the resolution into eff
feet. The English public has forgotten
also that ten of the fourteen members
of the agricultural commission signed
a report recommending bimetallism as
a palliative for the agricultural de-
newspapers seem to think the govern
ment is influenced merely by desire to
secure the good will of the United
States when it is attempting to carry
out the declared policy of parliament. !"

CANNIBALISM.
Interesting Statistics In Regard to
the Practice of Eating Human
Flesh.

manuscript recently discovered in the
neighborhood of Cairo gives some interest
ing information In regard to canniballsm,
says the New York Herald. For thousands
of years the fashion of eating human flesh
prevailed in Cairo and the adjoining country
The object, however, was not to satisfy hun
ger, but rather to honor the dead. Only the
arms and legs were eaten, and, for all we
know to the contrary, the remaining por-
tions of the bodies were treated with be-
coming reverence.
point, Flinders Petrle the eminent Eng
iish archaeoogist recently. set himself to
study the psychology OF anthropophagy,
and he was soon in possession Oh several
ample. he learned that of every hundred
persons who eat human flesh twenty do SO
with the object of honoring their dead as
well as of securing their good will, and thus
obtaining for themselves perfect happiness
in the next world. Such is the custom of
the Thibetans. as we'll as of the Australian
and South American aborigines The Th1b-
etans were especially wont to hold most i'm
pressive religious ceremonies While the can
nibalistic feasts were going on
The Samoides do not hesitate to eat their
parents and in defense of their conduct
they maintain that the dead will thus live
more happily and altogether more comfort
ably In The future life. In ancient times
certain tribes invariably ate their deceased
friends and relatives, as they considered that
it would be monstTous thing to hand them
over to the tender mercies of the worms
All cannibals, however. are not actuateo Dy
such unselfsh motives. According TO writ
er in the Journal des Debats, many can
nibais eat human flesh with the object of OBJ
tanning direct benefits thereby Thus we are
told that 10 per cent Of them eat the most
staIWart warriors who fall in battle, with
the hope of increasing their own courage
and that they also eat dead children, with
the object of thus recovering their lost
youth. Again 10 per cent eat their nearest
relatives through religious motives, since
they hope thus to escape the wrath OF the the
gods Moreover, per cent eat human hesh
because they hope in this manner to punish
those whom they are eating. ..

Further Testimony in the Minne-
sofa Provision Company Case.

A story got abroad yesterday from
Court Room Noo 2, on the third floor
of the court house, where Judge Brill
is patiently listeningi to reams OF tes-
timony in the Minnesota Packing and
Provision company ficaSe, that MI.
Squires, Of COUNSEL for the defense, and
A. B. Stickney, witness for the plant
iff, had one of those times, and that
the court had to9 interfere to preserve
order. The story Travelled around
among the law offices, but was mainly
without foundation.
What really happened was this:
There was a written statement OF the
affairs of the Union Stock Yards com
pany, which it was believed Mr.. STICK
ney referred to in letter to -Phlilp
Shufeldt Upon adjournment Wednes-
day afternoon, the court sustained the
objection of Mr.. Kellogg to the admis-
sion of the statement as evidence, on
the ground that the connection estap-
llShed was too remote. In the mean
time Mr.. Stickney found that the state
ment in question was the one referred
to in his letter. and so objection TO IT'S
Introduction was withdrawn
Mr.. Squires proceeded to cross-exanl-
inc Mr.. Stickney on the statement
Mr.. Squires wanted Mr.. Stickney TO
answer some of his questions, yes" or
no" Mr. Stickney said he would an
swer them in his own way, II Mf.
Squires would permit him to do so.
Mr. Squires extended the permission,
after the court had ruled that MI.
Stickney need not confine his responses
to the words yes and no
Constantine w. Benson, one OF the
London stockholders in the Union
Stock Yards company, was the hrst
witness called yesterday. Mr.. Benson
said that he first met Philip Shufeldt
in England. Last spring he came to
st. Paul and urged Shufeldt to prepare
a statement of the company's assets
and liabilities, but Shufeldt, he said,
asked for further time.
Mr.. Benson testified that, on March
II, he had the necessary legal papers
served on Shufeldt requiring him to
give the information wanted. Shufeldt,
he said, requested postponement.
But none was granted, and the next
dav March IL, the witness proceeded
with Messrs. Stiekney and Kellogg to
the offices of the Minnesota company
at South st. Paul. There they met
Attorney Squires and Frank Clifton.
They demanded to see the books, but
the demand was refused. Then fol-
lowed the application for a receiver.
On cross-examination Mr.. Benson said
he did not examine the statement of
assets and liabilities sent to England,
as he did not consider the statement
gave the required information
