Wild Race On Mt. Morrison.

Vancouver, B. @, May 1.-THE
ascent of Mount Morrison, the high.
est mountain in Formosa, has been
made by K. T. Stoepel, an explorer
of note. On the mountain, near the
summit, he discovered a tribe of
human beings that had never seen
the face of white man, and, posi-
bly,, had never seen a Chinaman.
These people were of ferocious
aspect, extremely ugly, thin and en-
tirely naked. They were skull hunt
ers, evidently, and existed on wild
animals, and were not averse to
human flesh.
Lower down on the mountain he
discovered a wild race of Malays,
which seems to have intermingled
with the Chinese race.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Roberts of
Utah is defeated. The house of rep
resentatives, by vote of 302 to 30,
decided to withhold from him the oath
of office. At the same time the other
specifications of the Tayler resolution
providing an investigating committee
of nine members were indorsed. Yet
the vote on the Tayler resolution was
virtually a vote on the merits of the
question of accepting Roberts into the
house of representatives. 1t was the
test whereby the country was to know
whether or not man who refused to
deny on the floor of the house that he
was living polygamous life would be
recognized as Il member Of the lower
congressional body.

Loss of Confidence in Them the Result of
"Wildcat" Caucus.
Lansing, Mich, Dec. 5.-DuIing the
last fiscal year, according to the re-
port of Secretary Of State Stearns,
there was a decrease Of $726, 145.S6 in
the assets of the building and loan as
sociations operating in Michigan. AL
though the principal cause of this
decrease was liquidation, payment Of
matured shares, and Withdrawals,
Stearns says there is no Disgusting the
fact that an important factor in the
result is a loss of confidence brought
about by the deceptive practices re-
sorted to by certain wildcat concerns
organized by promoters and schemers
for revenue only.
Excessive rates of interest charged
borrowers by some associations have
had something to do with the decrease
Of business, and the present tendency
among the Michigan associations Is to-
ward much lower rate. There arc
now seventy-three associations operat-
ing in Michigan. The total assets Of
