STRIKES A FAILURE.
So National Labor Convention at Chicago
Declares.

Chicago, September 2s.-When the re-
port of the committee on resolutions of
the National Labor convention was pre-
sented today, a big row ensued. A reso-
luton was handed in yesterday approx
Ing the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to 1, and the free silver people in
the convention felt certain that the reso-
lutions would be embodied in the COM
today, however, it said:
'We favor the issue of staple legal
tender fy the government direct and the
establishment of government savings
banks.''
1t WAS finally voted to have the resolu-
tions accepted and printed, and at tomor-
rows session when they come up for
final passage the silver men will make
an effort to have free silver plank in
serted
The report is about 1900 words long and
Is addressed "to the labor and reform Or
ganizations of America 1t refers to the
"battle against monopoly and speaks of
the ballot as the safest means for reform.
1t says among other things: 1--WE admit
the failure of the strike method. We favor
series of national conventions to which
we invite the friends of labor in a move
ment looking toward political action.
s'We recognize the necessity of strikes,
but the most effective strike is the bal
lot box

:PROOF OF CANNIBALIsM.
Engineer on Hope Says They We're
Found at Greeley Camp.

A Human Leg Discovered From Which
the Flesh Had Been Cut Like Beef
steaks-Lieut Peary Says Story is False.
Boston, September 2s.--In an inter
view with Post representative today,
Assistant Engineer Knight of Lieut.
Peary's ship Hope, stated that positive
proofs of canabalism was found at Lieut..
Greely's camp at Cape Sabine by land
ing party.
Mr.. Knight says that when Cape Sa-
bine was reached only the scientists of
the party and one or two attendants to
do the rough part of the work were land
ed.
The most important find, however,
was not brought on board but was buried
near the camp. 1t consisted of the frozen
remains of human right thigh that was
found in the snow outside the camp
proper, near that place used as a burial
ground by the Greely party.
This part of limb was taken from
the hody at the hip joint, the separation
having evidently been made by the use
of the knife alone, at the hip and knee.
For about foot from the hip joint down
the bone was bare, the flesh having ap-
parently been cut away as butcher cuts
a leg of beef.
When shown the above story, Lieut.
Peary remarked: ''No, it is not true;
it is nothing more than foolish story
made, l suppose, with the intention of
getting notoriety from it. =

EPORTLAND NOT IN THIS.
Five Dry Docks Recommended But None
North of Boston.

Washington, September 2S.-The spec
ial board appointed by the Navy Depart
ment to consider the needs OF the navy
in the matter Of new dry docks, submit
ted its report to Acting Secretary Roose-
velt today. The board is composed of
Commodore Bunce, Commander Chad
wick and Constructor Dashiell, with
Civil Engineers Parks as recorder. The
board finds that five new dry docks are
urgently necessary, while one, (the Port
Royal, S. G. docl), should be enlarged
Immediately. The total cost of tn ese
docks with the Port Royal improvements
is estimated as $5,775, 900. Four of the
docks, the board says, should be of con-
crete, namely, at Boston, 700 feet long,
cost, 81, 300, 600; at New York, 500 feet
long, cost 81 200, 900; at Norfolk, 500 feet
long. cost 81, 1OO.0 COO, Qengthening stone
docks, ($25O, ,000) at Mare Island, 500 feet
long, 81, 100, 900.
The work seems to be very extensive,
but the board says we still would have
for naval purposes on our entire coast line
only one more dry dock than has Great
Britain at one of Its navy yards-Ports-
mouth, England.

Canea, Island of Crete, September 2S.--
The Mussulman notables have sent the
following telegram to the ambassadors of
the Powers at Constantinople and to the
Sultan:
"Our position is becoming untearable.
Winter is approaching, and we are with.

on hectogram of flour per day given
us by Mussulman charity. Our Chris

we do not return to our homes how can
we live next season? Public charity

can support us another month. We too
are Gods creatures. In the name OF hui
