TRAFFIC IN CADAVERS.
St. Louis Police Make Grue-
some Find at Union Depot.
FOUR HUMAN BODIES IN TRUNKS.

City Undertaken of Memphis Arrested
While Taking Corpses to Keokuk.
Makes Clean Breast of the Whole AT
fair-Sold Corpses to Medical Colleges.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 15.-Four zinc lined
trunks, such as are used by travelling
men to carry samples, each containing
corpse, were taken from the baggage
room at the Union station yesterday
and Frank Thompson, city undertaken
at Memphis, is under arrest. For some
time the police have been aware that
traffic in human bodies has been going
on through this city and have been on
the watch for the guilty ones. Recently
a shipment of four bodies in trunks was
made to w. Fl. Hansen at Keokuk. Ia,
for whom those captured yesterday were
also intended. The expressman who
hauled the trunks from the Keokuk
depot told the station master there that
he believed they contained bodies. An
investigation was put on foot and the
police of this city notified to look out
for any other shipments, with the result
mentioned.
When taken to police headquarters
Thompson made clean breast of the
whole affair. He said he had the contract
for burying che city dead of Memphis.
For some time he had been selling the
bodies to medical colleges throughout
this part of the country. His method
was to pack them with excelsior in
drummers' zinc-ined trunks and take
them with him as baggage as far as st.
Louis. From here he shipped the
trunks to their destination by express.
Thompson said he had been paid all the
way from $50 to 5000 per body. He said
the name w. H. Hansen, to whom the
trunks were addressed in Keokuk, Ia,
is a fictitious one, but refused to state
who his consignee is.
| In the trunks are the bodies Of three
negroes, two men and boy, and a
white woman. From appearances they
all died Of consumption or some other
wasting disease. The white woman
was evidently somebody of refinement,
Judging from her looks. Her front
teeth are gold-flled. All the bodies are
well preserved.

British Officers Held as Hostages for

LONDON, Nov. 15.-There is no addi-

hostlllties in South Africa this morning
except a dispatch from Mafeking for
warded by a runner, dated Oct. %,
Which says that during the afternoon
General Cronje, the Boer commander,
sent an envoy to Colonel Baden Powell
under flag of truce, to declare that he
did not consider the Geneva convention
authorized the flag of the Red Cross
society to fly from several buildings at
once in the town and that in his opinion
the employment Of natives against
whites and the use of dynamite mines
We're both opposed to the rules OF war.
Colonel Baden-P Powell replied that the
Geneva convention did not stipulate as
to the number of Red Gross stations
permissible and that the Beers were
only required to respect the convent,
the hospital, and the women's lager.
The British commander also pointed
out that MINES We're recognized adj
juncts of civilized warfare and that the
defenses of Pretoria were extensively
mined. Moreover, he reminded Gen
eral Cronje that the Beers had fred on
natives, burned their kraals and raided
their cattle, and that the natives only
defended their lives and property.
Despite these warnings from Colonel
Baden-Powell, the Beers continued de.
iberately to shell the hospital and the
women's kraal The sending of the
envoy was considered mere pretext
for penetrating the British lines at
Mafeking. According to the latest in.
formation, the garrison is confident Of
its ability to hold out until the end OF
the campaign.
The great delay on South African
cables, now a--ounting to practically
five days, and the lack of any definite
news from Ladysmith give rise to some
apprehension. which is only relieved by
the fact that no adverse tidings have
come from either British or Boe1
sources. Nothing is known as to the

Cruiser is Fast Aground With No Hope of
Saving Anything.
MANILA, Nov 15.-F'urther details re-
garding the grounding of the United
States cruiser Charleston show that she
struck an uncharted coral reef ten miles
east of Kamaguin island. Her stern
was almost submerged and the bow al
most out of the water. A heavy sea
was on and the cruiser began rolling
violently. The water-tight doors We're
quickly closed, but were stove in under
the engine compartment. After the
first efforts to right her the officers
feared she might slide off because of the
heavy sea and therefore abandoned the
attempt TO save her. They hurried to
I the launches and boats and rowed away,
prepared to fight for a landing, with
two Colt guns, 1874 rifles and ten days
rations. Some of the officers and men
were dressed in pajamas and under
clothing. Two hours after the Charles
ton struck all had gotten away. A
party returned two days later, but
= found it impossible to save anything.
! The first landing was made on little
island with front of barren rocks.
Next day the boats again took to the
water and proceeded to Kamaguin is
! land, where landing was made in the
expectation that firing would be neces-
sary. So far from this being the case,
however, the Charleston's men found a
i half savage people who regarded them
with curiosity rather than hostility.

Schley, who is about to assume COM
mand of the South Atlantic squadron,
called at the navy department and had
long conference with Acting Secretary
Allen concerning the general character
of the service on which he is about to
embark. It was the admiral's final call
before leaving, as he goes on Thursday
to New York, where on next Saturday
he will raise his flag on the cruiser

of his going to some Of the South AT

at first not looked upon as serious, is
now causing his friends the greatest
alarm. DIR. Bridges Of Omaha was
summoned yesterday morning and
spent the day at the bedside of the
patient, for whose recovery he enter

opinion that Senator Hayward could
not recover and that not even tempo
rary improvement could be looked for
and that his death is considered to be
only matter of time.
The malady is said to be similar to
that which Frustrated Senator Hayward
last summer on the speakers platform
at Brownyille. There has been no re.

is in state of utter physical collapse.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The indus
trial commission yesterday listened to
the testimony of John w. Gates. chair
man of the American Steel and Wire
company. Mr.. Gates said that while
his company controlled major portion
of the wire product of the country, it
did not seek to monopolize the business,
but on the contrary encouraged other
operators. He stated that Germany
was the principal competitor of the
United States in the manufacture of
wire and it's products and gave the de-
tails Of an effort he had made last sum-
mer to effect an international consolida-
ton of wireworks, taking in all those
of Europe. The combination had failed,
he said, because Of the impossibility of
reaching an agreement on the share of
the product to be allotted to the United
States.
