HUNGRY, TURNED CANNIBAL
KIondiker Found Partly Eaten and His
Companions Dead Bodies
Miles Away.

CNTRE CITY, ALASKA, May 30, via
San Francisco, June 20.-Three men
who left Dahl river ON December 5, for
Jimtown, were not heard of again and
they were supposed to have been lost.
Nothing was heard Of them here till the
steamer Ridout arrived today.
The men were Michael DAILY Victor
Ediar and NJ. Provost. They were from
Providence, r. l.; Woonsocket. r. l.,
and Brockton, Mass, respectively.
Their bodies were discovered about II
miles from the mouth of Old Man creek,
they having lost the trail and become
bewildered. Having left Dahl river
with only three weeks food, but which
was amply sufficient for the $50 miles
to JimtOwn, they were soon reduced to
starvation.
Daly's body was found, partly eaten,
on the stove in the tent, Some scraps
of moose hide and mocassin were found,
of which they were endeavoring to
make a stew. Daly's body was identi-
fed by the clothes. The other two men
were found dead about five miles away
from the tent. The fact of the tent
flaps being shut down when found
would seem to preclude the possibility
of Days body having been eaten by
animals. The other men doubtless were
driven by hunger to the awful extremity
| of cannibalism. -Four hundred dollars
were found on the bodies.

ents-Governor Wolcott Accompanied

visit to Be Made to Springfield.

HoLYoKE, MASS, June 20.-Today
was given up almost exclusively by
the President and party to the COM
mencement exercises at Mt. Holyoke
college. Here the President presented
the diplomas to the graduating class.
Governor Wolcott addressed them, and
Rev. DIR. Justin Smith, president of the
college board Of trustees, also made an
address. Miss Grace Mckinley, niece
of the President. was one of the gradual
ing class, and this fact, which is the
primary cause of the Presidents s visit,
together with the fact that the President
of the United States honored the town
aud college by his presence, brought
birge crowd and there was much enthu-
siasm on the part of the townspeople
and the college girls.
The party left Holyoke about 9:30,
and met Governor Wolcott at the rail-
road station, and he accompanied them
to the college.
Final arrangements for the journey to
Springfield was completed. The main
point at issue was as to whether the
trip will be made on board the little
steamer Mrscot down the Connecticut
river, or whether it will be made by
electric cars. This matter will likely be
decided today. The president announced
definitely that he would remain at
Adams as the guest of w. B. Plunkett
until Wednesday evening, June 2S,
when he expected TO leave for Washing
ton.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-When the
industrial commission resumes it's full
sessions here in September, Mr.. P. @.
Boyle, editor of the Oil City Derrick, of
Oil City, Pa, probably will testify
on Industrial Development and Evolu-

Historians Standpoint"
James Barrett, vice president of the
Georgia State Agricultural society, was
witness before the commission. He
spoke upon the agricultural conditions
in the South, saying they were worse
than they had ever been in the history
of the country. At last years prices a
man could not pay over $3 month
wages and save himself.
The railroad rates were such as to
render it impossible to longer make
watermelon growing profitable, and the
same was true Of other garden products.
"The railroads are both the daddy and
nanny of trusts" he asserted.

AGAIN MOBBED CARE.
A Traction Employe Received Serious
Injuries In CIeveland-Police
Arrived Too Late.

CLEVELAND. June 20.-Two of the
Scoville avenue cars approached the
crossing of the Pennsylvania railroad,
where they were met by a mob of more
than 1900 men and women. One of
the cars was taken across the railroad
safely, but the other was held up by
the mob. A perfect shower of paving
bricks and stones fell about the car and
and crashed against the vestibule at the
front end, behind which the motorman
was concealed. Women threw bricks
and handed them to the men who were
in the front of the crowd.
The windows of the car had been
lowered and the bricks crashed against
the seats and fell upon the floor of the
car. The conductor escaped injury,
but the motorman, A. j. MCGrew of st.
Louis, was struck on the head with a
brick and rendered unconscious. He
was taken to a hospital. The patrol
man on the car was also hit with q
brick, but was not seriously hurt. A
call was made for the police, but when
a detachment OF officers arrived the
mob had dispersed and no arrests were
made.
The demonstration which had been
planned for last night to influence the
action of the city council with respect
to the ordinance prohibiting the employ
ment of motormen who have not had
ten days experience operating cars in
this city, contisted of a parade in the
downtown streets with torchlights,
drum corps and brass bands. A crowd
of about 5000 persons assembled, but
all of them did not participate in the
parade. The crowd was demonstrative
but not disorderly.
At the meeting Of the council there
was a scene of great disorder The gal
lery and lobby of the chamber were
packed by large crowd. and every
speaker who was inclined to give the
railroad company fair show was
hissed, This continued until Mayor
Farley made speech, in which he de.
clared that he did not propose to submit
to intimidation.
The ordinance fixing the requirements
for motormen was passed under sus-
pension of the rules. A resolution was
also adopted requesting the corporation
counsel to report whether the fran.
chises of the company could not be
forfeited if it failed to run cars on al
it's lines.
Several other resolutions were offered
and referred to committees. A specia
meeting of the council is to be held mex
Wednesday evening, and in the mean
time committee which was appointed
will seek to bring about a settlement o
the strike.

garding the wishes of the volunteers, in

The HAGUE, June 20.-Dr. Zorn, the
member of the German delegation to
the international peace conference who
was dispatched Friday by Count Won
Munster, the chief German delegate,
after conference with his colleagues,
to inform Emperor William personally
of tn condition of affairs in regard to
the board of al bltration question, re-

1t is said, however, that owing to the
absence of the emperor DR.. Zorn was

ing his mis SA,n, but it is understood he
obtained the impression at Berlin that
all hope need not be abandoned of ef
fecting an understanding regarding the
organization of an arbitration board by
amalgamating the various schemes.
1t is expected that Emperor William
will reach decision this week.
The general desire of the conference
favors an established arbitration trib-
unal, recourse to which shall be optional.
1t is believed that, if Germany declines
to participate, the other powers will still
achieve some such result before separat-
ing. They may decide upon draft
scheme, pending Germany's decision.

MAY TEST CANTEEN DECISION.
War Department Not Likely to Abide by
Pennsylvania Court Ruling.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-It is improb-
able that the war department will ac-
cept as final the decision of the Penn.
sylvania state court, declaring that the
army canteen is subject to taxation.
The officer in charge of the canteen at
Camp Meade appealed to the war de-
partment for assistance in defending the
case, and the department, approving of
his application, transmitted it to the
department of justice, with the request
that an officer of that department be as
signed tor the purpose. 1t is believed
the decision was rendered before the
defense could be prepared.
The principle involved is regarded as
important, and it is significant that the
Pennsylvania decision is directly in
conflict with the formal opinion of the
court of claims in the case involving
the canteen. That court decided that
the canteen was lone of the instrument
talities Of government and therefore
exempt from taxation.
