THE BENIN MASSACRE.
Further Details of the Horrible Affair
Reach London.

London, January s1.-Further details
have reached here of the massacre OF
members of the pea eaceable unarDled
British expedition by natives of Benin
county. It is learned that after the e2-
pedition left Sapele, it proceeded to with
in few miles of Benin City. The ex-
pedirion was divided into two sections.
When the commander of the expedition
had reached apoint wenty miles from
the Benin river, couriers from the king
arrived bearing peaceful messages. Here
it was that number of carriers were
sent as bearers of presents to the king.
They were suddenly attacked by q large
number of warriors, who had already de-
spatched the pioneer kroomen. Every
one of the carriers and thuse with them
were killed. The second company, en-
tirely unaware of the fate of their
predecessors, were marching along when
suddenly they came on the bodies of their
companions. AS they began to examine
them O murderous volley was poured in
to them by ambushed natives. The
natives again fired into the party and
then fell upon them and stabbed or
dubbed them to death.
Two members of the party reached the
coast after much suffering and exposure.

Bnt the Effort VIII Fail-Ex-Gov. Long
Only Man Seriously Codsidered-Other
Cabinet Notes.
Canton, January 21.-Boston gentle-
men. 1t is learned, are coming here to
urge the President-elect to appoint L.
Jefferson Coolidge of Massachusetts to
O cabinet position. 1t may be almost
positively stated that the only Massaohu-
setts man who is likely to be invited in
to the cabinet is exGov. Long. his
selection seems practically determined
on. Lyman.J. Gage of Chicago is be-
ing considered with reference to the
availability for appointment as Secretary
of the Treasury. Mr.. Gage is widely
known banker, but from a party point
of view is opposed by some of the active
Republicans Of Illinois on the ground
that he is a Mugwump. j. Grosscup OF
Chicago had some conversation OF the
subject of Mr.. Gage and the treasury
portfolio today. 1t may be deemed GER
tain that Senator Cullom will not be
candidate for any cabinet position. He
has been seriously considered from time
to time as cabinet possibility and may
De offered the portfolio of she Interior.
Four representatives of the ex-Confed
crate soldiers from the valley Of Vir-
ginia, called today TO invite Major Nc
Kinley to attend great peace meeting

thousand Union and Confede rate sold
iers meet on southern soil on that 0coH-
sion. Major Mckinley will probably de-
liver an address.

ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1
East Maohias, January 21.-Prostrate
upon grave mound in the little country
church yard at the village of Cutter, ths
dead frozen body of a woman was found
this morning.
elssHer rigid form scantily clad. was
wrapped In white mantls of snow,
which all night long had been falling
softly from the skies and sitting through
the pine trees Of the little cemetery.
The body was that of Nancy Huntly.
"Widow Huntly," she was known to
every one In Cutler, and the man who
found her lying there did not need to
look at the pallid features TO discover her
identity, for the woman's sad story was
known full well by him, as it was to all
within radius of dozen miles or the
place.
Half dozen years before, as brids
Nancy Huntly and her husband uame to
live in little cottage on the outskirts of
Cutler village.
Poor in the worlds goods though they
were, the married life. of the couple was
an ideally happy one. But the hand of
death despoiied their home and one bleak
November day three years ago Nancy
Huntly followed her husbands body to
I the grave.
From that time on people began to
notice change in her, and 1t was soon
seen that her mind was giving away
under the terrible load Of sorrow she had
to bear. She continued to live in the
cottage that had beer the home of herself
and husband and with the help of the
neighbors eked out an existance from the
scanty store he had left. Not for single
day though did she fail to make
pilgrimage to the mound of earth in the
ohurchyard, beneath which lay buried
the remains of him who had been more
than life to her.
Mentally she had become almost total
wreck, but her insanity was of the
harmless sort, and her malady had be-
come to be little noticed in the town
where she lived. That she would ever
end her life in the tragic but pathetic
manDer in which she did never occurred
to anyone.
A visit to the Huntly cottage revealed
fact which adds to the pathos and
strapgenes5 of the story.
In four different parts OF the house
piles of debris had been collected and a
match had been applied to each. Nancy
Huntly had not only given up her own
life, but had tried to burn the little place
which known her greatest happiness
and deepest sorrow.

Sharp Practiced Changed.

Ottawa, Jan. 21.-A bill has been
passed appropriating the draft of the
licenses issued to United States fishing
vessels this year. This license wi Il con-
tain the same clause as last year, which
declares that it will become null and
void if any goods supplies and advant-
ages, obtained Hereunder are sold or
transferred to another Uuited States
fishing vessel, which has not obtained a
license. In 1895 only forty-five fishing
vessels took out license. 1t was dis
covered then that they were in the habit
of selling supplies procured under
license to other vessels, without licenses.
Last year with this clause inserted,
seventy y-eight vessels took out the
licenses.
