VANCOUVER, B, c., Jan. 27-Aftet
escaping death by drowning, eleven of
th9 crew of the ship Manbare were cap
tured and eaten by cahnibals of New
Guinea. The Manbare was bound for
Sydney, Australia, when it was caught
in the terrible gale of December. Near
Cape Nelson it began to sink. The crew,
eighteen all told, left the vessel IN two
boats and soon became separated.
One boat containing twelve men was
finally thrown ashore ten miles from the
cape. The sailors were seized by ma
tives from the interior and hurried off
to the village of the chiefs. One man,
James Greene, escaped.
The sailors were stripped and bound
aud killed, ne each day. A wild Orgie was
participated in by at least hundred
savages who had gathered for the feast.
In several cases the sailors were tor
tured by the old women and children of
the tribe. The eyes of one were gouged
out. The doomed men stoIcally watch
ed the elaborate preparation for their
death. A huge pot filled with boiling
water was used for the feast, which on
the first day was prolonged away into
the night.
In most cases the men were beheaded =,
their heads being laced on poles and
paraded before the men who were to suf-
fer the same fate.
Greene was RESI- ued by steamer aftel
tramping without food day and a
uight to reach the coat The scenes of
horror he had witnessed turned his hair

81 Otis believes that Roberts of
Utah, of three wives fame, has as
much business in congress as some
others. 81 makes this point in behalf
of the muchly cussed and discussed
Roberts: "Besides the sympathy a
man with three wives deserves at the
hands of the public, would go furth-
er and say that there is as much de-
cency and common sense in honOring
and seating man in congress with
three wives as to honor and seat one
with half dozen or more children and
without any wife at,all, like some who
have cut very prominent figures in
the halls of congress"

Senator Bacon is making an enviable
reputation in the senate, not only as a
debater but also for looking promptly
and carefully after the interests of his
constituents. Hens classed among the
ablest members of that body, and when
he delivers a speech he is always certain
of good audience. His recent speech
against the administrators Philippine
policy was about the best on that side
of the Philippine question, and has been
widely and favorably commented upon /.
He showed mastery of his subject that
surprised both friends and opponents.
A few more such speeches and he will be
looked upon as the leader of the demo-
Gratis in the senate. The promptness
with which he looks after matters to
which his attention is called by his con-
sttuents is steadily incl easing his popu-
larity at home. He is making an excel
lent, record and the people Of Georgia are
keeping themselves posted in regard to
