SCORES STARvE T0DEATH.
Terrible Famine Prevails Among
the Stewart River Indians.
SUFFERING IS FRlGHTFUL.
Poor Unfortunate Natives Are Without
a Particle of Food-Tribs Will Be
Practically Exterminated.
Barb rous Ceremony.

Victoria, B. c., June 1.-THE Indians
living in the neighborhood of the up
per waters of the Stewart river are in
a most deplorable condition. A terrible
famine prevails in that district and the
unfortunate natives have already been
decimated for lack of food.
Conditions have been growing rapidly
worse in this respect, and three miners
who have just reached here from that
country say that the pitiful scenes en-
acted among the starving Indians beg
gar description They are almost en-
tirely without food of any kind and are
now literally perishng in great num-
bers H% 6s
So hopeless is the situation that In
a single small Indian village, no less
than 80 persons died from hunger just
previous to the departure of the pros
pectors for this port. The miners. who
are authority for these statements. de-
clare that unless abundant supplies are
Immediately dispatched to the relief of
those furnishing and Respondent peo-
pie, their practical determination is in
evitable.
The same trio of returned miners al
so tell a shocking story of the killing of
an Indian girl by a medicine man, at
the instance of the chief of the tribe
to which the unfortunate maiden be-
longed. According to the story, the girl
was made the victim of a savage cere-
mony. directed by the medicine man,
under the orders of the chief. Her
barbarous death was for the purpose
of propritiating the great spirit who
had sent the famine by the offering up
of living human sacrifice.
Troops will be sent to the scene of
the outrage to arrest the murderer and
bring those guilty of the crime to JUS
tice, If they have not already paid the
penalty by the slower process of star

United States as Mediator,

Berlin June 1.-THE London CORE
spondent of the Frankfort Zeitung
says: The idea of having the United
States mediate between Great Britain
and the South African republic is be-
ing fayorably discussed in all quietness
in imperial circles here. 1t is pointed
out that at present no power stands so
close to Great Britain as the United
States, while at the same time the fact
that republican form of government
prevails in the United States would
make Washington's mediation especial
iy acceptable to the Beers. 1t is also
thought that the prominent social and
political position occupied by the de-
scendants of the old Knickerbocker
Dutch in the east of the Union would
be regarded by the Beers as factor
recommending to them the friendly in

London, June 12.-The correspondent of
the Times at The Hague says: There is
no sufficient reason, so far as l can as
certain, to anticipate the failure of the
arbitration scheme. Germany's objections
may possibly have been intimated to GER
tain members of the conference, but even
in that case it would have been prema-
ture to take pessimistic view. If diff
culties arise they will be smoothed over.
Even so formidable a power as Germany
may we'll pause before assuming the terri
BILE responsibility of bringing about the
failure of the conference.

GERMANY'S OPPOSITION.
Emperor Wants No Permanent Tribunal
of Arbitration In His.

London, June 12.-The correspondent
of the Daily News at The Hague, says:
II learn that Dr. Zorn, thee German
delegate, spoke on Friday against arbi-
tration. When l asked him for copy
of his speech I got a point-blank re-
fusal. DR.. Zorn said
=" All that / can tell you is that Fri
days sitting was extremely interest
ing and that I presented Germany's
objection to the scheme for a perma-
nent arbitration tribunal
Notwithstanding this, / am able to
send a full analysis of his speech. HE
spoke slowly in French and with diff
ficulty. He asserted that he was in
structed to say that Germany could
not accept the principle of permanent
arbitration embodied in Sir Julian
Pauncefote's draft. She objected first
ly on principle, and secondly on
grounds of eXpediency.
HE then proceeded to argue that it
was derogatory to a monarch's sover-
eighty and to a nations independence.
Arbitration agreed upon between two
nations for a narrowly defined object
was one thing, and arbitration binding
a nation for the unknown future was
quite another. A king, holding his title
by divine right, could not think Of d.
vesting himself of an essential part of
his sovereignty, the right to shape the
nations course at a critical Tune.
Emperor William, DR.. Zorn said, would
not pledge himself to bow to the deci-
sions of judges not appointed by him
on cases that had not arisen. These
were the objections on principle. The
objections of expediency were on the
score Of expense and the possibility
that the tribunal, in the rendering of
ubiquitous decisions. might bring the
principle of arbitra ton into discredit.
DR.. Zorn concluded his speech amid
painful silence.
''Sir Julian Pauncefote, replying, said
he thought the objections of the Ger
man delegate showed a view of state
craft which many might consider not
altogether modern. AS to the doubts
expressed regarding the fitness of the
Judges, have no doubt said Sir JUL
ian, that every state would take pride
in nominating its best man.
II understand DR.. Zorn's instructions
were sent under a misrepresentation, as
some of his objections would only apply
to the older schemes superseded by the
British draft"
The correspondent of the Morning
Post at The Hague asserts at last Fri
| days meeting Doctor Zorn opposed the
| arbitration scheme, but adds that ne
| gotiations are proceeding between The
| Hague and Berlin.

EXPECT A CRISIS TODAY
Climax Anticipated in the Cleve-
land Electric Railroad Strike.
THERE MAY" BE TROUBLE
Both the Officers OF the Company and
the Strikers Look for Disturbance
This Morning = All Was
Quiet on Sunday.

Cleveland, Ohio, June 11.-Both the
officers of the big consolidated street
railway and the strikers are waiting
expectantly for I o'clock tomorrow
morning, for then there is likely to be
serious trouble. True to its promise of
last night, the company made no at
tempt to move cars to-day. There was
no activity about the barns or termin-
ais and the big crowds of strikers and
idlers that assembled saw nothing to
excite them.
A number of motormen imported by
the company from other cities were ia
ken to the Lake View terminus of the
road to-day and all that were not cap
tured by the strikers We're housed there
for the night.
If the strikers do not return to work
in the morning, as notified by the COM
pany their places will be filled as far
as possible by new men and an attempt
made to move the cars. This the strik-
ers will not permit. or at least they say
they will not, and while they have been
very quiet to-day there is apparently a
grim determination on their part to
thwart the efforts of the company to
move cars.
There has been some talk of symp-
athletic strike on the part of the EN-
ployes of the little consolidated COM
pany, but the leaders of the strike say
they do not desire anything of the kind.
On the other hand they declare that it
would only injure them to tie up the
other lines, for it would lose them the
sympathy of the people who have thus
far put up with inconvenience and an

quit work. This step was not taken, as
1t was not deemed necessary.
