DOCTOR EATEN BY CANNIBALS
British Omcer of Nigeria Falls Victim
of SavaEes of the
Hinterland.

CAPE TOWN, March 11,-(Special Cable
gram to The Bee )-Reports received from
southern Nigeria give an account of the
murder by natives OF one of the British
officers of the protectorate 1t appears that
DIR. Stewart. medical officer at OVERT. an
out station, was bicycling along the road
near the station and losing his way went
into what was really an unfriendly coun-
try. At any rate, for two or three days
no news Of his whereabouts could be re-
ceived until a friendly native came in
with the information that DR. Stewart had
been caught by the Ahiras. a powerful race
who occupy most of the hinterland. 1t
seems like a strange mingling of civiliza-
tion. but the reports are to the effect that
the man was captured while riding a BIZ
cycle. and eaten by cannibals, his wheel
being broken and made over into trinkets
which were worn by the chiefs at the
feast
The melancholy news cast a gloom over
the entire protectorate where Dr. Stewart
was we'll known and respected. The worst
fears were entertained OF a general rising
sveral other tribes having Joined in with
the avowed intention OF driving the white
men out.
Major Trenchard Is now operating in the
hinteTland with the avowed object Of pun
ishing the murderous natives It is ex-
pected that his operations will require at
least five months The mere fact that they
have caught a white man-an unexpected
triumph the victims OF their cannibal
practices are usually natves-has made
the tribes doubly warlike. And those who
understand the characteristics of the ma
tive of the hinterland say that it will re-
quire a hard campaign TO stamp out their
eannibalistic practices. Other columns will,
however. cooperate from the south with a
view TO preventing all future troubles In
I this part of the country.

internal administration OF India and his
send-on was a unique and a spontaneous
recognition of the excellent services he has
rendered to the presidency and to the gov
ernorship. to which Sir Arthur Lawley now
succeeds him.
The visit Of their royal highnesses, the
prince and princess Of Wales, to Haidara-
bad has called attention to the wonderful
rise of the reignng dynasty, the nizams of
Haidarabad. AS a reigning dynasty the
Nizams cannot. 1t is true in point Of an
tiquity vie with the Hindu princes of India.
II is less than two centuries ago that the
founder Of its fortunes first appeared in
the Deccan as the vicerOy of the Mogul
emperors with the title of Nizam-u -ul- Mulk
Bahadur-that Is, exalted regulator Of the
state-which has been retained ever since
by his successors. The story of the rise of
the Nizams during the eighteenth century,
first in nominal allegiance to and grad
ually in more and more open defiance OF
Delhi, of the part they played first on one
side and then on the other in the Indian
episodes of the great Anglo-French struggle
and Of the straits they were in turn re-
duced to by the growth OF the Mahratta
power forms one of the most instructive
chapters In the history of India. 1t illus
trates perhaps more closely than any other
the gradual evolution of British policy to-
ward the native states of Hndustau. OF
which Sir William Lee Warner has writ
tcs.
Last September predictions were freely
made that owing TO the unsatisfactory
character of the monsoons. then fast draw
ing to close, there was reason TO fear
that parts of India were destined to suffer
again this year from scarcity, perhaps even
from famine. Since then timely rain in
parts of the country has fortunately some-
what improved the prospects. though there
is still unhappily certainty of severe suf-
| fering for the poorer classes over a large
area. especially I'm several of the feudatory
states of RaJputana. The winter rains. from
which much Is expected In the way of slim
uiating and refreshing the spring crops
sown in the latter part or after tho con-
clusion OF the regular rainy season, were
scarcely more satisfactory in character
and distribution than the monsoon itself,
| There was a long period of anxious eXpec-
tation of them. doomed often to disappoint-
ment, though in the Punjab and elsewhere
they fell in somewhat Insufficient amount.
In some places where a fall of rain in No
vember would have qnahled. much OF the
land on which the,autumn crops had failed

Il was expected In vain. and in other places
the absence of rain in the winter months,
coupled with the presence Of abnormally
hot weather and dry west winds, has
caused the spring crops also TO wIther As
is well known it is on the cheap grains

tural and laboring classes i'm the greater

PREMATURE MEMORIES.

In publishing the memoirs of his
father at this time Prince Alexander
Won Hohenlohe was doubtless guilty Of
disrespect to the emperor and OF a
grave "indiscretion." Such racy recol-
lections as those OF the former chan
cellor are not usually given 10 the pub
lie until all the people personally inter
ested and implicated in them are dead
and buried.
Statesmen who indulge In memoirs
generally set down the gossip of their
own generation for the delectation Of
the generation succeeding, and reveal
the secrets of the governments of which
they are a part not to their contem-
poraries, but to their grandchildren.
The frankness with which Chancellor
Won Hohenlohe wrote is sufficient evil
dence that he intended his "recollec-
tions" to take the usual course. Wheth-
er II was pique, a desire for money or
Just n good -natured resolve TO give the
present generation treat and let pos
terity take care of itself which induced
his son. Prince Alexander, to give the
memoirs of his father prematurely to
the public. IT is mighty interesting
once in while, TO be allowed thus be-
hind the scenes before the actors have
all passed off the stage. and the rage OF
the German emperor only adds TO the
enjoyment OF the occasion.--New York
