Forty Days Adrtft.

LONDON, April S.-The Singapore
correspondent of The Daily Express
wires n CHASTITY story OF cannibalism at
sea brought to Singapore by two sur
vivors Of tile Nova Scotian bark An
COLA, wrecked six days sail from Ma
nila on Oct. 23 last. The correspondent
says:
"Thc survivors, Johnnscn, n Swede,
and Marticornu, a Spaniard, assert that
the Angola struck n reef. Two RATS
were built. The smaller, bearing five
men, disappeared. The latter, with II,
drifted for 40 days. The sailors ate
barnacles, seaweed and finally their
boots
"On the twenty-ffth day two became
insane aud killed themselves. ON the
twcnty-siXth Frenchman killed the
mate with an AK, drank his blood and
tried to eat his brains, but was pre-
vented by the others. Next day the
Frenchman was killed while attempting
to murder the captain. The survivors,
all of whom were now insane, ate the
Frcnchman's body.
"Cannbalism continued until only
Johnnsen and Marticornu remained. On
the forty second day the raft stranded
on Subj, or Flat, island in the Natunn
group. northwest of Borneo. Johnnsen
and Marticornu were awfully emaciat-
ed. Friendly Malnys sent them by junk
to Singapore"

REBELLION IN CHINA.
General Tung Flu Slang and the
Northern Army Implicated.

PEKING, April 9.-According to ex-
pert opinion China would be able to pay
from 100000, 900 to f30000,0OO without
cripplng her financial resources, while
the amounts which the powers at present
demand aggregate from fS0,000,O00 to
t100,000.000,
Rumors which have been current dur
ing the past few days of the outbreak of
II rebellion headed by General Tung Flu
Slang, the former commander of the
northern army in the provinces of Mon
golia and Shensi, have been absolutely au-
thenticated. Ii Hung Chang and Prince
Ching have received information on the
subject which proves that the court is
serious alarmed.
Tung Flu Slang was, according to last
accounts, about $50 miles from the court
with 1000 regular troops, all supposed
to be devoted to himself. The court has
about the same number of soldiers at
Sian-fu, but il is probable that the troops
Of Tung Flu Slang are better drilled and
better armed.

Floods SubsidIng.

BOSTON, April 9.-The food scare all
over New England, due to rising waters
under the influence of nearly five days of
rain, has hattened out, for late reports
indicate that a change for the better has
come The losses will be heavy no doubt,
but nothing to be compared with some
of the freshets of recent springs. The
reason is obvious to people in southern
New England, for the early spring left
the ground open for n good soaking, and
this natural absorption of the rain is tax
ing care of much of the water, while the
great surplus of the overflow, being un-
impeded by ice, is rushing seaward.

CANAL BILL OPPOSED
The Antis Appear Before Com
mittee at Albany.
STRONG ARGUMENTS PRESENTED.
Bewis of Monroe Orcrs ms n substi-
tute His Good Roads Measure
to Bond state For
s5,OOO.OOO.

ALBANY, April 10.--By vote Of Z
70 8 the assembly canal committee last
night decided to report to the house to-
lay for reprinting as amended the &c.
100000 canal improvement referendum
bill. The amendments made to the bill
are the same as adopted by the senate
when the bill was ordered to Il third
reading. They provide that the Oneida
feeder shall be included in the improve
ment and that an annual tax shall be
imposed for II years to pay for the
work to be done under the provisions of
the act.
The anticanal advocates had their sec
und encounter with the friends of the
canals yesterday afternoon at the hear
ing given by the assembly canal commit
tee on the S26,000,000 referendum canal
improvement bill introduced by the canal
committee in both houses.
Assemblyman NJ. Il. Lewis of Monroe
was the first speaker He offered as a
Substitute bill for the measure his good
roads bill bonding the state in $1,000 900
for improvements to good roads.
He believed that the canal improve
ment question should be dropped and the
good roads improvement taken up.
N. G.. Spaulding representing the New
York State Tax and Transportation Re
form association, opposed the bill. The
vital difficulty, he maintained, in the
way of adopting the canal enlargement
plan under discussion was the reship-
ping at Buffalo.
Assemblyman Burnett Of Ontario, on
behalf of his constituents, registered his
protest against the bill He said he had
watched with interest and admiration the
untirng efforts of the coterie of gentle
men from Buffalo in pushing the bill.
VI New York held the palm in the lobby,
hut lately it had taken a back seat in IA
vor of Buffalo.
r. b. Norris, master of the state
grange, speaking against the bill, said:
'"Ths $26.000,00 will follow the S9,-
600 900, and we know where that went"
''We don't know that yet. said Assem-
blyman Swift, soto voce.
John |. Platt of Poughkeepsie next op.
posed the bill If this bill was passed, he
contendcd, the state would be bunkoed,
as the canals since the abolishment of
tolls had been hindrance TO commercial
supremacy of the state and should be
abandoned.
Former Senator, John Laughlin of Buf.
falo was the principal speaker in advo-
cscy of the bill.
Others who spoke for the bill included
George Clinton of Buffalo, Verplanck
Colvin of Albany and William f. Cleary
of New York city.
