A SHOCKING STORY.
Further Particulars of the Horrors of
Shipwrecketi Party.

London, Nov. 20.-The correspondent
of The Daily Mail at Wellington, New
Zealand, cables that the eight surviv-
ors of the steamer Ellngamite, who
were rescued from raft by the Brit
ish survey steamer Penguin, admit that
while their minds were unhinged by
hunger some of them prolonged life by
drinking the blood of their companions
This was mostly done by mutual con-
sent of two parties, incisions being
made in their skins and each sucking
the blood of the other simultaneously
Those of the castaways refusing to do
this were tapped" whilst they were
asleep and it is alleged that the stew
ardess died of exhaustion through loss
of blood taken by this process.
The correspondent adds that the
story of the survivors has caused a
feeling of horror in wellington, their
action being regarded as inexcusable as
the raft was only four days and half
afloat.

COAL STRIKE INQUIRY.
PR ESIDENT MITCHELL'S LAST
DAY ON THE STAND.

His Opposition to Any Separation of
the Anthrac cite and Bituminous Miners
the Most Important Fact Brought Out
-Commission Insists on Having
Names of Non-union Men-Their
Counsel Agree and They Therefore
Become a Party to the Arbitration
Pian-Rev. DR.. Roberts Succeeds
Mitchell on the Stand.
Scranton, Pa, Nov. 19.-After being
on the stand for four and a half days
President Mitchell, of the Miners union,
completed his testimnoy al noon to-day
before the strike commission. During
his ordeal he was examined by his own
attorney, and those of the Erie, the
Delaware and Hudson, the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western, the Lehigh
Valley and the Philadelphia and Read
ing Coal and Iron company; also by the
attorneys of the independent operators.
He was followed on the stand by the
Rev. Peter Roberts, D. D., of Mohaney
City, Pa, congregational minister,
who has studied the coal industry and
has written book on the subject. He
was still on the stand when the commits
sion adjourned for the day.
One of the most important things
brought out during the cross-examina-
ton of President Mitchell to-day, was
his emphatic declaration that the min
ers were opposed to separating the BIZ
luminous miners from the anthracite
workers, thus creating two organiza-
tions. He made this reply to a ques-
ton of ex-Congressman Simon F. VOL
verton, counsel for the Reading COM
pany. Mr.. MitchelPs answer was that
"it would not be possible or desirable.
The anthracite mine workers have had
Independent organizations in the past.
They have had several. They have
gone. They are not here now, and the
men do not want any more of their or
ganizations to go the same way"
Commissioner Wright in his report to
President Mitchell on the coal strike
dated June 20, suggested among other
things as reasonable and just" to pre-
vent industrial conflict in the anthracite
fields, that the Anthracite employees
should organize an anthracite coal min
ers' union, in its autonomy to be inde-
pendent of the United Mine Workers of
America" but might be affiliated with
it. There has been some gossip among
the small army of attorneys at the
hearings that the commission may pos
sibIy suggest such separate union, and
the fact that Mr.. Wolverton touched
on the matter, shows that it is being
seriously thought of in some quarters
The non-union men, that is, those
who remained at work during the strike
were made a party to the arbitra ton

BOYCOTT Al LAUGHING STOCK.
Unionsto Withdraw from Schenectady
Trades Assembly.

Schenectady, N. Y, Nov. 19.-There
was no quorum at the meeting of the
boycott committee tonight. President
Henry V. Jackson said that he was
awaiting other developments, but he
refused to state what the developments
might be.
A majority Of the unions will prob
ably withdraw from the Trades assem-
bly, unless the assembly lifts the boy
colt
Even if the assembly is not disrupt
ed entirely, it is probable that it will
be reorganized, and that the men who
are responsible for the boycott and the
expulsion of Potter will occupy a minor
position, if admitted within the fold at
all.
The boycott has been so Intellectual
as to become laughing stock, and the
bulk of the trades unionists disregard
it entirely.

Berlin, Nov. 19.-Vandals have again
broken off parts Of five Of the statues
on the Sieges Alice, the historical SER

personal expense. The statues them
selves were not harmed, as they stood

the cuiprit was never caught. The per-
petrator of the present outrage has not

Method to Discover Frauds in New York
Street Deparfment

New York, Nov. 1s.-Discoveries that
certified laborers in the street cleaning
department were being impersonated
by outsiders caused the municipal civil
service commission to-day to adopt the
Bertillon system of measurements to
ascertain the identity of any man en-
ployed by the city. At the meeting Of
the commission to-day the statement
was made that twenty cases had been
found where men were working under
assumed names, using cards given
them by the original employees. Many
of the substitutes, it was said, were not
citizens and it was said to be the plan
of the original employe to get other
work and then sell his card to a man
who assumed his name.

DECISION AGAINST POWER
IN MINNESOTA COURT
FAMOUS MERGER SUIT.
Retirement of the Preferred Stock of
the Defendant Regular and Lawful
Peter Power and Camille WeidenfeId,
the Intervenor Ordered to Pay all Ghe
Costs and Disbursements Amounting
to S9,50O.

Minneapolis, Nov. ia decree has
been entered by Judge Lochren, of the
federal court, in the case of Peter Pow
er and Camille Weidenfeld against the
Northern Pacific Railroad company,
which was heard before Judge Amidon
September 20, 1902. The decree is that
the retirement of the preferred stock of
the defendant is regular and lawful
The decree, in part, follows:
1T is further ordered that as to all
the matters alleged in the bill of COM
plant and complaint of the interven-
tion, charging violation of law upon
the part of the defendant herein, by
reason of the acquisition of a majority
and controlling interest in the stock Of
the defendant and of the Great North
ern Railway company by the Northern
Securities company, the bill of COM
plant and the complaint Of interven-
ton are severally dismissed for the fol-
lowing reasons:
First, because the Northern Securi-
ties company is a necessary party to
the decision of the question thus raised,
and.
Second, because a stockholder or
stockholders of the defendant have no
standing to raise these questions in a
court of equity,
''It is also decreed that the defendant
have and recover of Peter Power and
Camille Weidenfeld, intervenor, costs
and disbursements"
The attorneys for the defendant have
filed an itemized bill of costs amount
ing to about $4,000.
The attorneys for the complainant
have filed objections to most of these
costs, so that after the items have been
taken out which are objected to, only
about $500 is left for which the COM
plainants assume responsibility.

LEHIGH PRESIDENT RESIGNS.
Criticism Forces Walter Out-Stock Be-

Philadelphia, Nov. 19.-Alfred Wal
ter, president of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad company, has resigned to take
effect November 30. Differences of
opinion regarding the management of
the company are assigned as the
reason.
There has been much criticism re-
Gently of the management Of the rail-
road and President Walter has several
times felt called upon to defend his
policy. The adverse comment on the
company's affairs has had the effect of
lowering the price of the stock, Fol-
lowing the announcement of Mr.. Wal
ter's resignation, the stock became
quite strong on the local exchange.

Coachers Not Dissatisfied--Big Mass
Meeting Last Eventng-Pre rs
for the Big Game Harvard Held I'M
portant Practfce-C CoIu m bIa Won from

Yesterday afternoon the Yale varsity
football eleven held its first practice on
Yale field since last Friday afternoon.
The men were in fine fettle, although a
trifle slow. This was to be expected,
and the coachers expressed themselves
as satisfied with the work at the end of
the open prcatice The secret work oc-
cupied about half an hour. When the
gates were opened a large crowd of
students and many townspeople swarm
ed into the vast enclosure, The work
of the varsity team showed the effect
of the lack of regular practice, but the
men are in the pink of condition and
when they line up against the Crimson
on Saturday the Harvard team will find
the strongest kind of an eleven up
against them.
Holt, Glass and Goss formed a for
midable center trio against the second
eleven, and Hogan and Kinney simply
could not be moved. The entire team
worked evenly together, and this is an
improvement over their work against
Princeton. Last Saturday the Yale line
moved in sections and not all at the
same time. This fault will not be a
factor in the game with Harvard.

Dickinson's refusal to pay the cash
before Miss Stones release. The bri-
gands' demand Is, first the ransom,
then the release. 1t Is said, however,
in explanation, that they never violate
the organized brigand code of honor,
always freeing the captive when the
money is paid. The baigands want the
ransom deposited in the ground within
Bulgarian jurisdiction. Then they will
undertake to release Miss Stone with

to be ON the Bulgarian side after the
close of negotiations. But this condi-
ton is not urged. The district Gov

forcing the brigands to come to terms.
If not released before the middle of

permanent winter quarters, and nego-
