The KNIGHTS OF HoNoR.-A dis.
patch from Detroit, Mich, says: The
report of the committee appointed by
the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Honor,
to recommend as to proposed changes
in the assessment system and rates oil
the order, completed its final report to-
day. 1t is in the hands of the printer.
and will be submitted to the Supreme
Lodge later. The report recommends
an average increase of 10 per cent. and
an equalizing as to certain ages, some
classes having been paying more pro-
portionately than others.
Another committee reported in the
case of dispenser of liquors in South
Carolina that his occupation does not
preclude membership in the Knights OF
Honor.
Much of yesterdays session of the Su-
preme Lodge was occupied in discus.
sion of questions concerning the age
limits and the degree of concessions to
be made to older members.
TIE executive session of the Supreme
Lodge continued throughout the after
noon. It was stated yesterday that
the consideration of the report of the
committee of fifteen had proceeded har.
moniously, and that final action on the
report was expected tomorrow. 1t is
believed that the proposed increase in
assessment rates will result in the es'
tablishpent Of reserve fund, in addi-
ton to making ample provision for
death losses.

The Crisis in France

Paris, June 20.-fFssident Loubet is
prepared to take radical measurers if
the present cabinet crisis is prolonged.
On this line it is believed the p, resident
will select cabinet ignoring the wishes
of the political groups in the chambers,
invite an adverse vote and upon this
being taken dissolve the Chambers and
appeal to the country for support in g
new election.
The extreme Dreyfusities are the
chief stumbling block to the formation
of new cabinet. These are eager to
recriminate, would have the whole
general staff of the army sent to the
Isle Du Diable there to expiatte their
crime against Dreyfus. Such q pro.
gramme affrights many good men who
would otherwise willingly take cab
met portfolio. The moderatists in the
Dreyfus affair favor Furnishing Du Patty
de Clam but would grant amnesty to
other officers implicated in the Drey.
fus conspiracy. 1t appears as if the
new cabinet will have to be formed on
some such compromise basis.

TUESDAY EVENING. JUNE 20. 1899
MIR. BARRETT. vice president of the

Mr.. BARRETT, vice president OF the
State Agricultural Society OF Georgia,
was q witness before the industrial
commission in Washington yesterday.
He testified to the effect that the con-
dition of the farmers of mis- State Is
worse now than it ever has been be-
fore that for the last two years crops
have been raised at unremunerative
prices, and that the negro population
has greatly increased, from natural
causes, but that negro labor is most
unreliable and inefficient, and being so,
is necessarily cheap, and consequently
keeps out white labor. What is true
of Georgia farmers is true Of those OF
all the other States of the Union; no.
ticeably SO of those of Virginia. But
bonds and trust stocks are high and
Wall Street is booming, and the organs
of the administration say prosperity
has been restored and that the whole
country is happy and contented with
its present condition and with its pros
poets of the future.

CANNIBALISM ON THE YUKON
TRAIL.

A story of possible cannibalism and
death on the Yukon trail has just reach
ed Circle City, Alaska. Three men
who left Dahl river or December for
Jimtown were not heard of again, and
they were supposed to have been lost
Nothing was heard of them at Circle
City till the steamer Rideout, which
arrived at San Francisco yesterday,
brought terrible tale of suffering and
oorror.
The men were Michael DAILY, Victor
E liar ADD NJ. Provost. They were from
Providence, r. l.. Woonsocket, R. l.,
and Brockton, Mass, respectively.
Their bodies were discovered seventeen
miles from the mouth OF Old Mans
creek. They had lost the trail and be-
come bewildered. Having left Dahl
river with only three weeks food, but
which was amply sufficient for the one
hundred and fifty miles to Jimtown,
they we're soon reduced to starvation.
Dalev's body was found. partly eat
en-, on the stove in the tent, just as it
was left when death overlook the 9th
ers. Some scraps of moose hide and
noccasin were found, of which they
we're endeavoring to make q stew. Da
ley's body was identified by the clothes.
The other two men were found dead
FIVE miles away from the tent. The
fact of the tent flaps being shut down
when found would seem to preclude
the possibility of Daley's body having
been eaten by animals. The other men
doubtless were driven by hunger to the
awful extremity of canibalism. Four
hundred dollars was found on the bod
les.
The seven boats which wintered at
Dahl river are all safe. They are the
st. Michael, Reindeer, Monarch, Evans,
Mary Graf, Luem and Rideout.
