SCENES OF HORROR
Witnessed by Survivors ofthc Wrcck-
ed Ship Manbarc-Thcir Mates KILL
cd and Eaten by Cannibals.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Jan. 21.-After
escaping death by drowning eleven OF
the crew of the ship Manbare were cap
tured and eaten by cannibals OF New
Guinea. The Manbare was bound for
Sydney. Australia, when 1t was caught
In the terrible gale OF December. Near
Cape Nelson 1t began to sink. The crew
Of 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
natives from the interior and hurried
of TO the village Of the chief. One man,
James Greene. escaped.
The sailors were stripped and bound
and killed. one each day. 4 wild orglc
was participated In by at least hum
dred 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 preparations for their
death. y huge pot filed with boiling
water was used for the feast. which on
the first day was prolonged away into
the night
In most cases the men We're behcad-
cd. their heads being stuck on poles
and nnradcd before the men who were
TO suffer the same fate.
Greene was rescued by steamer af-
ter tramping without food day and Il
night to reach the coast. The scenes OF
horror he had witnessed turned his hair
snowy white.

PLA1T'S SPEECH
In Defense of the Trcaty---A Very
Thoughtful and Well Considered
Statement ofthc Situation.

WASHINGTON. d. C.. Jan. 21.-Par-
ticular interest was manifested in the
senate to-day in n brief speech dcliv-
cred by Senator II. e. Platt. (New Yorli)
on the general subject OF expansion.
Mr.. Platt took for his text the anti
expansion resolution offered by Mr..
Vest. tMe.}. but III the course Of his
speech. merely touched upon the con-
stitutlonal question involved in the
proposed declaration. He spoke In n
clear. resonant voice. and not only be-
cause this was the first speech lie has
delivered in the senate since his return
To the body, but also because the ad-
dress was 4 thoughtful and well-con-
sldered statement he was accorded the
undivided attention Of his colleagues on
the floor and a large audience In the
galleries. a pleasing. though quiet vein
OF humor ran through the speech. sharp
ly pointing his statements. He took
strong ground on the ratification OF the
pending treaty Of peace. He said In
part:
There has never been absent from the
floor of the senate that class of Intellect
which has found in the constitution its
warrant for opposing new things. Nor
Is II new things only which are so reso-
llitcly opposed In the nnmc OF the faith
ers. II IL the old things with new faces
as well. Here We have been for whole
century anncXing territory, annexing
with Il club or with 4 carcSs. Just M
the necessities demanded. and Yet SEN
ators are discovering to one another
the most acute distress over what they
boldly describe ~ n departure from
time honorcd traditions"
Mr.. President. II was not the main
purpose OF the makers of the congtItu-
tion to point out II way. in accordance
with which the problems of govern
mentwerc to be solved That purpose,
no doubt. was IN their minds to some
rXtcnt-but to an extent which must
have had Its boundaries defined In their
own experience.
Their main purpose was to devise Il
plan Of government aud not Ia ordain
policies. and where they seemed to be
ordalning policies, where they departed
from the main work OF establishing the
bodies which together should form tho
government and of distributing to cach
Its particular functions, they were do

tive assembly. before their time and
subsequently thereto. has had TO do

each with strength OF 1i5 men. and
twelve regiments OF cavalry OF ten
troops, each with strength OF lO5 men.
This discretion, II the President would
exercise II, would reduce the number OF
enlisted men about $1,000. and practic-
ally leave intact the organization pro.
vlded in the bill, so FAR as officers are
concerned.
How far this proposed modification
Will allay the opposition remains to be
seen. Mr.. Johnson, OF Indiana, who took
4 prominent part In the fight to-day
after the general debate closed, declared
that the purpose of the bill was to have
an army Of 100000. either bS direct au-
thority or the exercise OF the Presidents
discretion. and lie declared his purpose
TO fight TO the bitter end the machinery
which was being forged for colonial
system. Mr.. Henderson. in the course
OF the debate to-day, declared his be-
lief in the unwisdom of annexlng the
Philippines. Mr.. Johnson said the vital
mistake was made when the President
Instructed the peace commissioners 10
demand the cesslon OF the Philippines.
The whole debate to-day was spirited
and so Intense was the struggle that

ment under the five-minute rule that

For the Detection Of Bribery in Pas

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 97..-The Bus
lness Mems league to-day adopted the
following resolution:
"In view of the widespread reports
that large sums OF money are to be used
to secure the passage OF certain legisla-
tion at Harrisburg during this session
OF the general assembly:
Therefore. be 1t resolved, That for
the prevention and detection of viola
tlons of the constitution and statutes OF
this commonwealth against bribery and
corrupt solicitation of members OF the
legislature, We, hereby offer the sum OF
$4,000 for payment of rewards, rs fol-
lows:
First, for ans clue or information
which will lead to the detection and dis
covery OF the sale or purchase or the
endeavor to sell or purchase the vote or
influence.a member of the legislature
upon any matter OF legislation pending
In the general assembly at any stage OF
Its progress, whether in committees, on
the floor OF eithher house or elsewhere,
the sum OF $1,000: and
Second, for every conviction OF such
offense the sum ot $4,000.
The said rewards. in all not exceed
Ing the sum OF $4,000. 10 be paid by our
attorneys, to whom all information is to

mean to suggest, Mr. President. that
such legislation as does occur In the
constitution IL any less binding upon us
because 1t was put there US n concess-
Ion to the sentiment OF the hour, but
do affirm without hesitation that the
inferences which VIC draw now from
such legislation. limiting the power OF
the general government and rem
dering our government less competent
than other governments. need TO be
drawn carefully and need to be consId-
cred In the light OF the whole scheme OF
federal authority. 1t Is true that we
are government of limited powers, but
the purpose OF the limitation was SIM
ply to reserve to the people of the
states such ample power as would en-
able them to determine their own af-
fairs In their own way-such affairs I
mean, as were not also the affairs of
the people Of other states: and 1t was
not the purpose Of such Limitation to
hinder the federal government In pro-
vidlng as might seem best and wisest
for the general welfare of the whole
country.
1t IS surprising, Mr.. President, how
often 1t has been necessary to make
this argument and to call attention to
these distinction. and yet. suppose the
temptation Is 4 natural one to make
the phrase, "a government OF limited
powers" mean government empower
ed to do whatever each man wants
done. but forbidden to do whatever
each man opposes. That thought must
have occurred. 1t seems TO me. to every
senator who heard the proposition nd
vanced here that we had the right un-
der the constitution to annex territory
for the purpose of putting UP guns to
kill people with, but lacked the right Of
annexInE 1t for the purpose of putting
up school houses and Of doing things
that contribute to the happiness and
prosperity Of the people concerned.
"The disorder now existing In the
Philippine Islands. to which senators
who arc opposing the treaty may well
afford to- consider how far they are
contributing to the unwillingncss OF the
armed natives to accept American au-
thorlty. does not constitute in my mind.
the slightest ground on which to base
a vote against the Paris agreement. On
the contrary It affords n new reason
why our action should be the more
prompt and unanimous"

than half the officials named were not

house. The attaches OF state institu-
t!ons were here looking after the latter's

whole matter was laid on the table on

senate on the grounds laid down In his
statement published yesterday. The
TWO points are that Getzendanner and
PIerson had no legal right to vote and
that the fOrty-eisht votes east for Scott
were one short Of majority Of all the
members elected. The claim Is that
Mr. Scott should have had forty-ninc
votes. The latter point. upon which
the most stress is laid, is n technical
one. which will be decided by the SELL
ate. McGraw does not expect to carry
his point. but 1t will be urged as 4
matter OF record FOR future use. There
Is no uncasiness among the Republic
cans In connection With the matter.

He would then leave 1t 10 them TO de-
