ATE THE FLESH.
Terrible Tales Of Suffering in
Frozen North.
Indian Guides in Desperation Devour
Their Own Dogs.
Knowing Expedition Reaches West
Coast Of Newfoundland.

Halifax, y. s., May 10.-Advices from
the west coast of New Foundland state
that the Philip Knowing expedition
party, which set out from Bay st.
George, for Glenwood by way of Cor
mack's track, has arrived at its desti-
nation after three weeks suffering and
extreme hardship. The story is one
that equals the terrible experience of
the Hubbard party in Labrador and
but for the pluck of Knowing the
whole party would have perished.
Henry McWhitcr, who accompanied
the expedition says:
From the beginning of the journey
the party trudgcd through mountains
of snow, sinking 1T every step to Il
great depth, Notwithstanding that each
member of the party wore snow shoes.
Food ran short after the first 10 days
and it was seldom that anything could
be shot to sustain the hungry men and
dogs. Owing to the continuous snow
storms the guides were unable to get
their bearings anl frequently wished
Ia be allowed to rctrace their steps. But
the pluck Of Mr.. Knowing always en-
couragci them. He would not turn
back. Ii he died he requested to be
buried deep down SO that the lynx
would not eat his body.
''SOon came thOs" awful signs of ap-
preaching starvation. Bells were ring
ing and voices shouting in all direc-
tiOnS. Driven to desperation the Indian
guides killed all of their dogs and raw
cnously ate the flesh. The party, af-
ter tramDing y days, had about given
up all hope of reaching G!enwood. EX
hausted from hunger and thirst and
with no succor in sight they had re-
solved to meet their death when Nc
Whittier, who was stronger than the
others, kept on n short distance. He
discovered the head of the Gander riv-
CT and returning to the party they 10
Gated their position.
"A shout Of joy next went up from all
hands and throwing down their camp
outfit and clothes the party made a
dash for GlenwooG. They We're met on
the way by some wOodsmen. who gave
them food and assisted the weaker
members of the party to their camp.
The party had been practically given
up for lost.

EUGSiA'S UPS AND DOWNS.
Port Arthur News Plea5es Eut Japs'
Activity Alarms Her.

st. Petersburg, May 11.-3.05 A. NJ
The most important official news from
the front up to this hour is that tell
ing Of the complete re-establishment Of
railroad and telegraphic communication
with Port Arthur. though how it was
brought about ana whether a battle
was ncces ssary to accomplish it are
mysteries which Viccroy AleXiefr failed
to clear up.
The clation of the authorities. n
natural consequence Of this achieve

at the opening Of communication with
Port Arthur. The feeling going from

a pendulum and Viceroy Alexieff's 6
dispatch has produced feeling among
the people that the defeat on the Yalu
and the interruption of communication
with Port Arthur should not have been
taken so seriously. that Gen. Kuropat-
kin never had any intention of making
a stand on the Yalu river. that the at

GREAT ACTIVITY
On Both Sides With the Interruptions
Incidental to War.

London, May 1l.-Thus far no con-
firmat ion has reached London of the re-
ported battle near Liao Yang.
One of the explanations Of the res
toration of the Port Arthur railway
suggested here is that the landing of
the japanese at PitsewO was interrupt
ed by Il gale and compelled their tenn
porary retirement to the coast. or that
the japanese are allowing the line to
remain omen for the removal of nom
abandonment.
According to kilograms from Shang-
hal. Gen. Kuropatkin is making Il gen
cral concentration of troops at Mao
Tien Ling Pass. where the next great
battle is expected to take place.
The Standards correspondent at Tien
Tsin considers that the procedure Of
The Chinese government requires care
ful observation, but he thinks that
China's military activity and the ac-
cumulatiOn of funds at Pckin are not
entirely uncOnnected with the Russian
scare, and that the powers would be
wise to strengthen their position unob-
trusively ana TO watch every move
mcnt closely.
The Daily Chronicles correspondent
at Shan lIai Kwan. under date of May
10, SAYS that the Japanese first army
Fl ION the Yalu river is already threat
enmg the Russian position at Hal
Cheng. The second army, marching in
three divisions i'll order to cooperate
with Gen. kuroki. has defeated the
Russians near Wafung Tien with great
loss. the correspondent says, and he
adds that the Japanese artillery was
beng splendidly handled.
The Daily Chronicles Toxic cores
pcadent says that the Russians have
captured Sc junks on the Lao river lad
ell with Chinese government rice
which was destined for Tien Tsin and
that Viceroy Yaun Shat Kai has
strongly protested against this section.
The Daily TeleGraph's Shanghai cor
respondent says that, according to
private reports from Kwang ST. the re-
hclion there is more threatening than
ever.

ter, N. H., Not So Serious.

Rochester. N. H., May 1O.-Mrs. Ar
thur w. Richardson, who was brutally
assaulted by an unknown tramp, yes
terday afternoon. recovered conscious
ness. today, after having been insensi-
BILE the greater part Of the night from
the effects Of the attack made upon
her. The physician expressed the opin-
ion that the woman was not seriously
hurt.
An investigation by the police. today.
showed that shortly after Mrs. Rich
ardson was assaulted, a boatman on
the Cocheo river saw two tramps
walking over the railroad bridge,
which spans the river.
Further inquiry will be made on the
theory that one Of these men assaulted
Mrs. Richardson. while the other re-
mained outside the house on guard. the
object being robbery. No valuables
were taken. however. and Il IL believed
that the men were frightened away be-
fore they could serach the house.
