vides for the amendment of the placer
mining act, providing that no one who

not retrospective. . Licenses take out
previously may be renewed, but under

to take up new claims. Section 5,
which is the most far-reaching, pro
vides that no free miner after the pas
sage of this act shall hold any claim
under the British Columbia placer

trustee or otherwise for any . person
who is not a British subject, or for
any corporation not authorized to take
out a free miner's certificate. A
miner's license taken out by any person
not authorized to do so by this section
shall be null and void. This section

A STORY OF HORROR.
Cleven of a Skip's Crew Eaten ty Can
nlbals on the Island of Mew Guinea.
Vancouver, B. C, Jan. 80. After
escaping death by drowning, 11 of the
crew of the ship Manbare were cap
tured and eaten by cannibals of New
Guinea. . ..
The Manbare was bound for Sydney,
Australia, when it was caught in the
terrible gale of December. Near Cape
Nelson it began to sink. The crew, 18
all told, left the vessel in two boats,
and soon became separated. One boat,
containing 12 men, was finally thrown
ashore 10 miles from the cape.
The sailors were seized by natives
from the interior and hurried oft to
the village of the chief. One man,
James Greene, escaped. The sailors
were stripped and bound and killed,
one each day. A wild orgie was par
ticipated in by at least 100 savages,
who had gathered for the feast.
In several crises the sailors were tor
tured by the old women aud children
of the tribe. The eyes of one were
gouged out. The doomed men stoically
watched the elaborate preparations for
their death. A huge pot filled with
boiling water was used for the feast,
which on the first day was prolonged
away into the night. In most cases
the men were beheaded, their head
being stuck on poles and paraded be
fore the men who were to suffer the
same fate. -
Greene was rescued by a steamer
after tramping without food a day and
a night to reach the coast. The scenes
of horror he had witnessed turned his
hair snowy white.
More Speeches on Expansion.
Washington, Jan. 80. At the open
ing of the senate Spooner and Rawlins
gave notice of speeches on the resolu
tion opposing annexation, Spooner
Wednesday and Rawlins Thursday
next. Mason asked unanimous consent
for a vote on his resolution, declaring
it to be the policy of the United States
not to attempt to govern the people of
any other nation, next Friday, at 1
o'clock, and Hoar for a vote on bis res
olution declaring the Filipinos ought
to be free and independent, but Carter
objected to both.
In the House.
Washington, Jan. 30. When the
house met this morning there remained
but little more than an hour of time
for general debate on the army reor
ganization bill. Henderson (Rep. Ia.)
was the first speaker. He opposed a
standing army of 100,000 men, but
was willing to Bupport a proposition for
a force numbering from 50,000 to 60,
000. Court-Martial Over.
Washington, Jan. 80. The case of
Commissary-General Charles P. Ea
gan, chaiged with conduct tending to
the prejudice of good order aud mili
tary discipline, is now in the hands of
the court martial appointed to try him.
Today the taking of testimony was
closed, and arguments of counsel sub
mitted. The trial lasted three days
and consumed less than eight hours' of
actual sitting. A session behind closed
doors of an hour or so sufficed for the
court to reach a .conclusion and em
body its report. What the verdict will''
be is altogether a matter oi$ specula
tion, and officially at least will not be
made public by the trial board, mili
tary regulations requiring that its find
ings shall go through prescribed chan
nels, and be kept secret until action be
had and promulgated by the proper re
viewing authorities.
Union Pacific Will Front.
New York, Jan. 80. It was stated
last night that the details of the plan
for the exchange of Union Pacific com
mon stock for Oregon Short Line stock
would be made public in an advertise
ment. The directois of the Union Pa
cific have settled the terms and- the
official announcement is expected to
day. It is generally believed that the ar
rangement arrived at will be share for
share on the $27,460,000 of Short Line
stock, with a "string" to the deal, in
the shape of a small assessment on the
Short Line holders. This deal should
net the Union Pacific about $1,000,000.
Report of Verdict of Guilty.
Chicago, Jan. 30. A special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
Dismissal from the military service of
the United States without any lenom
mendation for clemency, is the verdict
passed by the court-martial upon Commissary-General
Eagan for his recent
virulent attack upon Major-General
Miles. The verdict was reached with
in 45 minutes after the trial ended to
day. Perished on a Glacier.
Seattle, Wash.. Jan. 80. News of
tne freezing to death of three prospec
tors on the Valdes glacier, near the
mouth of Copper river, Alaska, was
brought to this city today by passengers
of the steamer Cottage City, from Skag
way and Juneau, Alaska. The names
of those who perished are:
Henry Kohn, New York city;
Smith, Chicago; Emerson, Baldwin,
Wis.
Fight in the Beichsrath.
Vienna, Jan. 30. In the lower house
of the Austrian reichsrath today a
disturbance arising out of racial differ
ence led to a hand-to-hand fight be
tween deputies. The ushers finally
succeeded in separating the combat
ants, but the sitting came to a close
amid a scene of turbulence.
Steamer Centennial Loading.
San Francisco, Jan. 80. The
steamer Centennial, which has been
chartered by the United States as a
transport, ai rived .today from Puget
sonnd, and will at once begin loading
with supplies for the American troops
in the Philippines. She will probably
sail in company with the Ohio and the
senator. '
The heart beats ten strokes a minute
leBS when one is lying down than when

Washington, Jan. 30. The situa
tion at Manila is regarded as critical,
of couise, but the officials see no rea
son why they cannot command it for a
time at least. General Otis reported
yesterday, in connection with some
matters connected with the shipment
home of some sick Spanish soldiers,
that he could hold out beyond a doubt
until his reinforcements arrive, and
added that as the news had reached
Manila that there was every prospect
that the peace treaty would be soon
ratified by the United States senate,
the effect ' on the otiv element had
been satisfactory.

Guarding Against Twin Germs.
A village clergyman tells this storyj
lie was walking tbrongh the out ski rti
of his parish one evening, when he saw
one of his paiishoners very busy white
washing his cottage. Pleasel at thest
somewhat novel signs of cleanliness, hi
called out: "Well, Jones, I seeyou
are making your house nice arid smart."
With a mysterious air, Jones, who had
recently taken the cottage, descended
from the ladder, and slowly walked t
the hedge which separated the gardes
from the road. "That's not 'xactlj
the reason why I'm a doing this 'en
job," he whispered, "but the last twi
couples as lived in this 'ere cottage 'ad
twins; so 1 says to my missus, I'll taki
an' whitewash the place, so as then
mayn't be no infection. Ye see, sir,
as 'ow we got ten children already."
