SUEZ A DREARY PLACE.
Set Forth With Due Allowance By
Professor Starr.
Osondon Mail,


It is a poor place, Suez; hopeless and
unambitious, stranded a couple of
miles from it's raison d'etre, the canal,
by greedy private interests at the out
set, and retained there by a niggardly
native administration that refuses to
dredge the creek connecting it with the
Gulf Of Suez. Condemned to see every
ship that passes through the canal, it
has grown bitter, and holds haughtily
aloOf from the Frenchmen who occupy
the few rods OF reclaimed land down by
the docks, and who benefit by such
trade as the Red sea reluctantly brings
to this barren spot of sand.
Inside SueZ are a hundred English
folk, fifty of whom are clerks in the
Eastern Telegraph company. and most
of the remainder are the wives and
children of the few able to marry. The
half dozen others are the director of
customs, the commander of the coast
guard, the doctor, the minister and the
representative of the most Important
steamship companies. For forty years
this little community has sought to
build itself a church, and is still seek
ing the wherewithal. 1t has neither
hotel nor concert room, but concen-
trateS all of its national life in the club
and on the tennis courts.
Small and forlorn as is this little
company, il is no way encysted ItV
life is the life of the great world, its
interests the interests of the empire.
In Cairo resident Englishmen spoke to
me of Egyptian finance, of the public
debt. of the low Nile and the cotton
crop; in Suez they were eager to dis
cuss the war. French plots. Russian in
trigues and the destinies of tn British
nation. Their interest in the empire
was vitalized by the constant click of

5000 greetings passed through Suez on
their way to the fighters in South
Africa.
ordinary savior faire respects the oath

the whole community is so thoroughly
alive to the Importance of the telegraph
that the wires from the press agencies
reach one crisp and fresh from the in
struments. In Cairo they appear on
the hotel notice boards as circum-
stances and the multitude of porters
may decree; but then, in Cairo outside
of the military circles, nobody very
much cares for the outer world. 1t is
only when there is bad news that a

Had Votes to Spare.

Colonel Ritchie was the only one of
the seven who reached the coveted
majority, and he had a number of
votes TO spare. Lewis and Goodwin
made surprisingly strong showings but
the vote given Morse was a disap-
pointment to his friends The Wenger
people did as well as they had expected
for the first ballot and so did Loot
bourow. Smith got away in poorer
shape than it had been hoped he would.
A second'ballot was ordered and some
lively work was done in behalf of the
remaining six. An effort, partially sue
cessful. was made to center Ritchie's
strength on Morse, but the other candi-
dates were after it so hard that little
could be done along this line. Morse
got through on the second ballot, but
he had only two votes to spare. Every
other candidate fell off except Lewis,

REASONS FOR CANNIBALISM
Loneliness Of the Small Company of
Englishmen There.
NOHICdSO heCOfO-J

"Cannlbalism Explained and Defend
ed by an Expert was the theme of
Professor Frederick Z. Stars dis
course to the anthropOlogy class at the
University of Chicago.
The professor came TO the big instf-
tuition OF learning on the Midway with
tOothpick in his teeth and a napkfr,
in his pocket. At the breakfast table
he had read of the fate Of Germans
traders in New Britain. Though he
did not say that he preferred any par
ticular kind of fish for his own table.
he confessed he could not blame the,
natives for eating a white trader when
ever opportunity offered, and said in,
this case the Germans got just what
thew deserved.
When the professor had. concluded. ,
the students discovered that It was
time for luncheon. but none admitted
he was hungry.
In part this is what Professor Starr
said: =
There are some things I do not pre-
tend to know about cannibaIism, but z
do know why the natives prefer hu-
man flesh, and I know the character
istics of the various brands Of canni-
balls
'First-Their religion demands that
thew kill. cook and eat human beings.
"SecOnd-They eat human flesh for3
the same reason we eat a pOrterhOussl
steak-beoause they like it and because.
thew can get it.
'"Third-Their traditions command

of their first foe slain in battle. They
believe in this because they think they
can 9Ssimilate all the courage of the
late lamented enemy.
''FOurth-They kill and eat out OF re-
venge.
There. now you have it in a nut
shell. These German traders were
slain and broiled. doubt not, because
they came under the fourth class.
They had been cruel to the natives,
perhaps. because they could not make
as much money as they wanted. It
was another case Of out Of the frying
nan into the fire. with realistic en-
bellishmentS.
1T is notorious that men belonging
to the most enlightened white races

women and girls are terrOrized when
they hear of the arrival of foreign
traders and soldiers. They actually
fee to the mountains and remain IN
til the visitors have departed. There
is no doubt in my own mind that the
traders provoked the attack of the
cannibals and that they deserved to be
killed.
u do not believe that the spread Of
Christianity and civilization has been
the chief cause Of the decrease Of can
nibalism. but there were a great many
tribes which practiced cannibalism and
abolished it before civilized men ever
reached them"
DIR starr said that some races praC-
tice cannibalism for a time and then
leave off for years, only TO take 1t up
again when provoked 20 take ven
geance in war He feels that the New
Britain cannibals looked upon the
traders as being at war with them
According to the professor, the New
Britain cannibals are not known, until
this time to have eaten foreigners 1or
a number of years.

The salmon Gamers on Puget Sound are
growing anxious over the run of fish this

about half their pack up, whereas they
have caught practically nothing yet. The
