Chorus Of Wealthy Men to Sing for
American Charities.

New York-New York next spring
is to hear for the first tine the Vienna
Male Chorus society, composed OF
well-to-eo or wealthy men, who are
coming all the way from Europe at
their own expense to give here two
or move concerts for charitable insti.

The chorus consists OF 300 voices,
and this members are prominent In the
social lie Of the Austrian capital. On
their american tour they will pay
their onn expenses, said Felix Kramer.
Mr.. Kramer is hero to make arrange.
ments for the concerts and to confer
with tie leaders of various musical
organizations. The society gave sew

them to relief and safety. Worn out
by incessant toll, Polanco and Kettle
we'll gave out, the latter begging to
be left behind. The men did not take
care of their rations, the Grenadians
had thrown away theirs and there was
but one days supply remaining. The
officers had some food left, and this
was divided among the party. Once
more the march was resumed, the
men struggling YEARLY through the
hills and dense forests.
Reluctantly Strain gave the order to
return to the river he had left and
there the first and last council OF the
party was held. The conclusion was
reached that they were on the Lyle
sias, set down by Osborne az branch
of the Savanna. There was no trail
through the wilderness; three of the
men and one Of the Grenadians were
utterly worn out. A few plantains
were found AMI divided. Eight birds
were shot, among them an owl and a
woodpecker, and some small fish were
caught by M. Truxton. An iguana
was shot and. in vainly trying to re-
cover it from the river, Holmes lost
his boot, which later on caused his
death.
On the thirteenth day the New Gren-
adams gave up in despair, although
the work had all been done by the
Americans. Lombard, the boatswain
of the party. became very i'll. The
clothes and boots of the men were
torn to shreds and at night nothing
was heard but agonized groans. Bolls
began to appear on the men and each
was found to contain worm OF the
woods" some of them an inch In
! length. On the sixteenth day an acid
nut was discovered, but 1t destroyed
the enamel of the teeth and the diges-
| tive powers as well. Some turkeys
were shot and the stage was reached
where ever the buzzards and cranes
were welcomed as food.
On the eighteenth day they had a
great misfortune. Truxton only was
| intrusted with the sole fishhook. He
gave 1t to Castillo, who turned 1t over
to one Of the men. who broke 1t.
Strain said nothing beyond pointing
out the probable result. 1t cost many
lives. as the Chuquanaqua, when

the march was resumed. The Gre
nadians rejoined the next day; they
had built a small craft, but 1t was
soon wrecked. The day after Strain
took three men to push their way
rapidly down the river and secure aid
for the rest OF the party, leaving Mr..
Truxton in command. Avery, vol
unteer, and Golden and Wilson OF the
Cyanne, volunteered to accompany
him
After many parting councils Strain
sadly left the main body on February
10. Occasionally bird or an iguana
was shot and furnished modicum OF
food for the famished men. Lombard,
Harrison and Castillo failed entirely
on the twenty-eighth day. Holmes,
who had lost his boot, had wounded
foot that was becoming gangrenous.
Some buzzards, a turkey and pee
cary were shot, but there was no
marching until the thirty-seventh day
and then only for half a mile.
Lombard, Parks and Johnson left
the camp and hid. In their terrible
sufferings they had matured plan to
hide until Holmes died, exhume the
body and subsist upon the flesh until
they reached the Atlantic coast. On
the thirty-eighth day Holmes breathed
his last and his emaciated body, with
his musket alongside, was laid to rest
on the banks of the river in grave
followed out with knives and an ak.
Decided to Go Back.
Lieutenant Strain was now twenty
one days gone, and 1t was evident that
the sixteen survivors would not live
for his return. They believed he was
dead and a council of the officers de-
cided to countsrmarch and try to re-
gain Caledonia bay. 1t cost severe
struggle to reach this conclusion, but
1t seemed the only hope. Truxton,
seated by Holmes grave, sadly peaned
letter Of explanation to Strain,
should the latter ever regain the
place, and in 1t he begged him to push
on after the party. Then Parks was
missing and on March start was
made on the march to Caledonia bay,
the former being abandoned to his
fate. Both Grenadians were very Ill,
but some Of the seamen threw away
their arms to assist them along. All

Truxton, Boggs and HARDWOOD, all

sealed, Hunger and toll had reduced
them to mere bundles of rags and

THE NEWS EXCUSE.

We are disposed to accept the re-
Iuctant ameude of the News for the
use of its elegant expression in ref
erenCe to some printing done for
COngressman~elect Smith at THE
TIMES office. 1t was probably just
an ebulitiOn of its natural political
acerbity. We also note its virtual
acknowledgment that union regua-
tons cannot be applied to any
practical extent in the average
country printing Office, and there
fore suggest that those papers
which affect uuiouism might be a
little more courteous in their al
lusions to contemporaries whose
interest in the betterment Of the
toiling millions is expressed in a
different but Just as effective way.
We disclaim, however, the venom
which the News so readily attrib-
utes to us, for there was neither
malice nor poison in what we said,

\ PERSPECTIVE VIEW.

In its notice of eviction to the
Mysterious Stranger the Dem.
ocracy of Missouri did not roll up
one Of its old.time majorities, but
perspective view ahead augurs
that there will be even more live
ly stir in the Democratic camp two
years hence. Aside from the presl
dental campaign the preliminary
lining up Of the forces to elect II
United States Senator to succeed
Senator Stone will be made; and
there will be political giants and
leaders in the field marshalling the
hus,s-leaders with their eyes on
the succession and inspired with a
zeal 30 reach the goal. This will
animate their friends aud support
crs aud arouse widespread enthu-
sIasm.
Senator Stone naturally would
like to succeed himself, aud be- has
many admirers who are of the same
mind. They like him for his ster-
ling democracy, his intellectual
ability aud way he has of sticking
to his friends. But there are other
Democrats of prominence who
would like to represent Missouri in
the National Senate, and their
friends are making their names
known.
Governor Folk it is said is not
averse to having the distinguished
honor thrust upon him, though it
has been intimated that there is
little song bird warbling of even
higher hOnOrs to him. But there
is the peerless Bryan, whose hold
on the hearts of the people of Mis-
souri, is so strong that even the
most favored son" of the State
would not be able to break it, and
as Governor Folk has shown that
he knows how to play AZ politics
along with older ones, it looks just
now as if his next move might be
for the Senate.
Besides Senator Stone and Gov.
ernor Folk, the big, brilliant, pop
ular commoner Of the Ninth dis
trict. Champ Clark, has been most
favorably mentioned as the man
for Senator. No Democrat is bet
ter known throughout the State
and country than Champ Clark,
and his friends are legion.
