Set TO Breaking Rocks.

. New York, June S.-tIen. Fred
Grant was given a reception last night
by the United States Grant Post. G.
\. r. In brief address Gen. Grant
said:
"Aguinaldo was not as much of a
capture in the Philippines as he
seems to be here. TO tell the truth,
he had lost about all his influence.
We do not treat him as if we consid-
cred him of some Importance. We
cannot kill him. of course. but we
want to make him feel that he stands
on the same footing with any other
Filipino. If he were sent to iail and
set to breaking rocks it would be bet
tor for all. If over there they get
the idea that we have high respect
for Aguinaldo's Importance. when he
gets back he will have a following
which will make us trouble"
Gen. Grant said thar the friars
were much hated and very corrupt.
The Philippine commission, he said,
desired TO treat the friars the same
as any other persons. with no more
consideration and with no less.

BUTCHERED AND EATEN.
| Members of n South Sea Expedition
Arc Massacred by CannibaIs.

Berlin, June 7.-1he Tageblatt
prints special correspondence from
new Guinea containing Il full account
of the massacre of the members of
the first German south sea expedite
ton on the cannibal islands of ST.
Matthias. They were all killed and
eaten, save DR.. Heinroth.
The Colonial Zeitung, the official
organ of the German Colonial society,
furnishes details of the massacre. 1t
seems that the vessel which carried
the expedition to the Ialand of St.
Matthias left, after few days, for
Herbertshoh, New Britain. to get coal
and fresh supplies. During its alb
sence the savages, who had hitherto
appeared friendly, although known to
be rabid cannibals, planned to kill and
rob the diminished party.
The plot was carried out one morn
ing while the members of the expe-
dition, who had a body guard of 40
drilled papuans, were cleaning their
rifles, which they had taken apart.
Suddenly 50 of the islanders broke
from the bush, raising fierce war cries
and brandishing spears with which
they stabbed to death the leader of
the party of Menckon heretofore
cabled as Mercke or Mencke), his sec
retary, Herr Caro-, and a white sailor
who was asleep under tent.
DR.. Heinroth emptied his revolver
into his assailants, while the body
guard, IN the meantime, retired to the
boats with the wounded and DR..
Heinroth, leaving II dead. The boats
put off to an island not far distant,
where the eXpedtionary vessel res
cued them. Subsequently the surviv-
ors returned to the island of St. Mat
thias, where they found that the
bodies had been devoured and the

LlNCOLN'S REMAINS.
They VIII be ReInterred in Such
Manner as VIII Foil Body Snatch

Chicago, June THE Inter Ocean
will tomorrow print story saying
that the recent re-interment of the
remains of Abraham Lincoln at
Springfield, H., has been done in such
manner as to leave them in mea-
sure at the mercy of body-snatchers,
and that steps are to be taken at
once, at the instance of Robert 7. Lin
coin, to have the body placed as in
the former monument, under a huge
block of cement, where it will be out
of reach of any attempt at molesta-
ton.
Mr.. Lincoln some time ago gained
the idea that the remains of his faith
er were not properly secured against
possible desecration by body-snatch-
ers and determined to make an in
vestigation on his own account. He
went to Springfield in the disguise of
a workingman, and spent much time
in and around the new monument.
He came to the conclusion that the
present location of the body left it
in a measure at the mercy of any
body who should desire to carry it
away, particularly as there is no
watchman around the monument at
night. He will take steps at once to
have the matter remedied, and have
the body placed so that it will here
after be secure from any interference
whatever.

TRADE REVIEW.
R. &. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Report of
business Conditions.

New York. June S.-R. G.. Dun d
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
The labor situation in many parts of
the country is still seriously unsettled
and constitutes a reason for hesita-
ton in some industries, discouraging
new operations which satisfactory
conditions would otherwise stimulate.
But quick decision is to be expected
in some of these labor controversies
and in the meantime trade is encour-
aged by reports or "A satisfactory con-
dition of winter wheat over a large
portion of the country. AS for
spring wheat the crop was put in un-
der very favorable conditions, and
there have been few unsatisfactory
reports.
Labor controversies have become
the factor of greatest Importance in
the leading manufacturing industry.
Counting perhaps upon the urgency
of orders and heavy losses which
would be sustained by employers in
case of suspension, the machinists
made what were considered unrea-
sonable demands by employers at
many points who have taken a de-
termined stand and announced that
the strikers places will be filled by
non-union men on Monday if they fan
to resume work. More quiet condi-
tiOnS in the market and few new con-
tracts make this action possible. As
a rule manufacturers have not sought
business beyond July l, and it looks
as though they had been preparing
for the conflict.
Pig iron is extremely dull, not a
sale of Bessemer being reported dur

outlook is generally conceded to be
full of promise.

Boston continue very large for the

the movement is still heavy, shops re-
ceive few orders. and it will be some
weeks before active work begins on
fall contracts. Retailers are offer
ing black goods for summer wear at
reduced prices, and it is evident that
the production of these shoes was
excessive while tan shoes have been
in much greater demand and manu-
facturers are pushed to fill contracts.
Prices are steady and iobbers report
that the better qualities are sought.
