FOUND LOST TRIBE.
Sixteen Esquimaux Discovered on a
Hudson Bay Island.
(NeW York SUM

There has been discovered upon one
of the islands of Hudson bay the rem
nant of a lost tribe of Esquimaux, a
community which has been for centu-
ries without intercourse with any other
representatives of the human species,
and whose members never, until quite
recently. had an opportunity of seeing
Il white man. The facts of the discoY-
cry are well esta blished. having been
reported to the federal authorities at
ottawa by the Rev. a. w. Buckland.
Mr. Buckland says that these strange
people still virtually live in the stone
age. knowing no metals. Their habi
tations are built entirely Of the skulls
Of whales.
The home of the tribe is upon South
ampton island, piece of water grit
land nearly as large as the state of
Maine. lying IT the extreme north end
OF Hudson bay. These people or their
ancestors have undoubtedly inhabited
the island ever since pre- Columbian
days. and at the present time they ex-
list exactly as they must have done
then. Having been isolated for so long
a period. il is natural that they should
possess many peculiaTities. A very re-
markable collection of their utensils,
weapons of the chase and other OBJ
jects was secured by Mr.. auckland,
but. to the greats regret of the Cana
20 lass I;its the hands of private per-
~cas.
4ne huts on the islands are built by
putting together the great jaws of
whales and then covering them with
skins. In the middle of the primitive
dwellings is a slight elevation. on
which stands the stone lamp, employed
for lighting, heating. cooking and melt
ing snow and drying clothes. This lamp
is nothing more than an open dish of
whale oil, with a wick of dry moss
soaked in fat.
The whale is the chief means of sub
sistence Of these poor people. They use
the bone for many purposes. making
plates and cups and tObOggan-like
sleds. They also manufacture sledges
of walrus tusks, with deer antlers for
crOsspieces. The members speak a dia-
Iect peculiar to themselves. and they
are the most daring hunters. Not more
than sixteen members of the tribe now
survive.
Mr.. Buckiand agrees with the ex-
plorers who disbelieve the story that

maux. He has lived for years with

THE PHILIPPINES QUESTION.
senator Hoar Speaks to Ills Resolution to Investigate Administration of
 the Islands.

Washington, Jan. 15.-For the first time this session the Philippine ques- ton was touched on in the senate. The interest taken indicates that it will occupy the attention of the up- per branch of congress for soms time, when the tariff bill is reported. The Philippines were the subject of an address by Mir. Hoar (Mass.), who spoke on his resolution introduced Monday, providing for the appoint ment of a senate committee to inves- tigate the administration of those islands. Mir. Hoar spoke at some length regarding the unreiability of statements which have been made from time to time regarding the sit uation in the Philippines, and the causes which led to the outbreak
 He urged that there should be place where any senator in his off ciai capacity could go and ask for two witnesses to prove the correc- ness or incorrectness of any question upon which light is desired
 Mir. Lodge, Mir. Hoar's colleague, said he regarded the resolution as a reflection on the Philippine com mittee, of which he was chairman. and the enecessity for the latter would cease were this resolution to be adopted. His committee, he said, was
 
 gation which might be conducted.

TO BUILD A THIRD SHAMROCK
Sir Thomas Lipton Prevails Upon Wm. Fife to Build Him Ills
 Third Cup Challenger.

London. Jan. 15.-Wm. Fife, of Fairlie. on the Clyde, is to build Sir Thomas Lipton's next challenger for the America's cup. At conference just held between Sir Thomas and his advisers, definite arrangements were made for the construction of Sham rock ILL, and an order for the new yacht was given to and accepted by Mr. Fife. In view of the probability of big revival of British yachting, and the fact that designing and SUI perintending a cup challenger neces- sitates constant work at least a year, Mir. Fife was somewhat disinclined to accept the contract, but Sir Thomas found means of overcoming his ob- jections. George l.. Watson has prom ised to assist Mir. Fife in every way.

EAST BATANGAS PACIFIED.
Unconditional Surrender of Insur- gents More Sweeping than
 was Expected.

Manila. Jan. 15.-The full surren. der of the forces of Col. Marisiga p who with Maj. Cabera and rene- gade priest named Castillo, gave themselves up, unconditionally. Jan uary 10, to Gen. Bell. who is conduct ing the campaign against the insur, gents in Batangas province, occurred yesterday at Taal. The insurgents created surprise by bringing in 60 more rifles than the authorities thought Marisigan could command in the district of Toael, which he con troled.
 The Filipinos who surrendered in cluded three oolonels, one maJrr, five captains and l2 lieutenants. They gave mp 219 rifles and on, cannon. All the insurgents who surrendered did so unconditionally. Gen. Bell or dered the men released. Col. Marisi- gan says he can prevail on many more men to surrender during the next few days. and also obtain pos session of number of additional rifles.
 Gen. Bell sa5s the surrender paci- fies, for the time being, all the east ern part of Batangas.

State Bonds Bought.

At a meeting of the state debt board last week, the board accepted the of fer of kohn & Co. of St Louis, for the sale of thirteen S1,000 bonds and one $500 bond of the per cent funding issue of 1899. The offer was made at 9S 1-2 cents and the discount balanc- ing the interest the state secured the bonds at their face value of S13.5O and thereby saved six months inter- est. The 5000 bond and eleven of the others were bought for the state uni yersity permanent endowment fund, and the other two bonds were redeem ed outright from the sinking fund. On January l there was a total of SI46.,780.62 in the treasury to the cred It of the sinking fund. On that date, under act of the legislature approved on April p last, $S0,000 of this amount was transferred to the capi- tol fund. and after the deduction of the payment of accrued interest on the bonds recently taken up from Wash lngton county and the purchase of the bonds, there is left balance of S6O,- 79S12 in the sinking fund with which to retire the states bonded indebted ness. On January 1 the floating debt amounted to s65, 900, which has been reduced to So1 300. It thus appears that the state has funds in hand suffi- cient to discharge every cent of it's Indebtedness. with surplus of 69,- 29812.

A number of tenants were in their offices, and some of them had exciting experiences before they reached the sidewalks in safety.
 The heat was so intense that the firemen, from the theater orchestra their attention to the surrounding buildings. Despite all they could do the flames jumped Water street and went to the Smyth block. wherein the Park theater is situated.
