penalty of the law, which is death.
Only one of the prominent leaders wan
captured. He is not^ in the peniten

in these cases nor is any reason offered
for the arrests. The sensation is all
the greater because there have been no
indications of an uprising against Presi

Such lawlera acts as the government
ia committing in this regard, acts
usually at the expense of members oi

London, Oct. 9.— Whatever may be
the result of Great Britain’ s contro
versy with the South African republic,
every department of the government
today is as busy as though actual hos
tilities had begun. The electric Hash
that announced the mobilization of the
army reserves and the summoning of
parliament, set every wheel of the gov
ernment machinery in motion. An
hour after the Gazette appeared, exe
cutive orders were lieing dispatched
from the war office to every section of
the kingdom, and the 10,000 bulletins
which appeared posted throughout the
country today are raid to have been
identical with the proclamation pre
pared for use had the Fashoda incident
required such a step.
At the same time Lord Salisbury and
Mr. Balfour were issuing the necessary
orders for the reassembling of parlia
ment, and the admiralty was concen
trating its transports. So complete
were the preparations that 25,000 re
serves have already individualy received
coupon tickets which contain instruc
tions where each man shall report for
railway trans)>ortation to the place
designated, and a money order for three
shillings for proivisions en route.
At Woolwich today, it was asserted
that 95 per cent of the reserves would
be fully equipped within six days. In
the meantime, the members of the two
houses of parliament are arranging to
return to London, and a force of men
is busily engaged in completing the
improvements at Westminster.
The important news from South
Africa comes from Mafeking, where
twice on Saturday the British camp
was aroused, the men stood to their
arms, guns were limbered and patrols
were dispatched in the direction of the
liorder. No hostilities have occurred
as yet, but the enemy has moved prao-
tieally to the border, eight miles from
Mafeking, in force, estimated at least
6,000, comprising five commanders.
The garrisoning and fortifying of the
town are practically completed. The
streets are barricaded, and a jierfect
system of mines has been laid.
Two armored trains have arrived at
Mafeking, consisting of three bullet
proof cars, tiie first of which carries

are loop-holed. Faoh train is com

Vancouver, B. C., Oct. 9.— A re
markable story of cannibalism was
brought to Sydney, Australia, a few
days tiefore the sailing of the steamer
Aorangi to this [sirt, by the French
steamer Jeanette. The victim of the
display of savagery was a native of
Hawaii, named Amaru, who acted as
orderly to the immigration department
at Noumea, in the New Hebrides.
About six months ago Amata mr,e-
ried a native woman of Aoba, in the
New Hebrides group, and on passing
that island on the second day of the
voyage of the Jeanette to one of the
outlying islands, he decided to visit his
wife’s trilie. Accordingly the couple
were put off in a small lioat, and it was
only a few weeks ago that the steamer
made a second call and learned their
fate. By mistake they had landed on
an unfriendly Bhore and were taken
prisoners.
The man was tied to a stake and his
torture begun. This consisted first in
allowing vicious jungle snakes from
which the poison fangs had been re
moved to attack the man’s legs.
Then a fire was made at his feet and
his legs were horribly burned, though
the injury was superficial so that the
victim would not die under the treat
ment. Then he was made the target
for the spears of the tribesmen, who
finally killed him. He was torn to
pieces and placed over a fire with two
sheep. In fact, according to the story
he was eaten with the sheep.
In the meantime Amaru’s wife had
been provided with another husband.
The matter was reported to a British
man-of-war, but it is thought no action
has been taken.

98,
The Oregon Industrial Exposition,
which is now in full blast at Portland,
Is the most successful enterprise of its
kind ever held in the Northwest.
Everything about it is on a gratia
scale, as well It may be, for no ex
pense has been spared to make every
thing connected with it first-class in
every respeet. To accomplish this re
sult it was necessary to invest $12,000
as a starter, and this amount was
quickly forthcoming. The enterprising
business men of Portland went down
into their pockets and produced the
cash, for they recognize the fact that
the fair is a great object-lesson, an
educator, and instructor— an enterprise
that benefits the entire Northwest.
The products of every section of the
Northwest are freely given place in ths
exposition at Portland, and the minos,
farms, fields, factories, forests aud fish
eries all make a grand showing, and
there are grains and grasses that any
part of the world may be w ell proud of.
Colonel H. C. Dosch, Col. R. C. Judson
and Louis M. Spiegl have collected to-
jether and have on exhibition thou-
iands of specimens of grains and grasses
and fruits and vegetables raised in the
Northwest, all of which make a splen
did showing for this rich region.
Among the many things seen at the
exposition in Portland may be men
tioned the mining exhibit. Tons of
ore, all showing just where it came
from and its value is shown, having
been collected by J. P. Marshall, and
there Is a reproduction of a quartz
mine, with its big timbers, shafts and
tunnels, built by J. F. Batcheldor, of
the Portland Railway Co., who is a
practical mining engineer.
In a large illnminated cave is a com
plete fish hatchery, in which young sal
mon may be plainly seen in all sb-ges
of hatching ont, and there is a full-
grown Royal Chinook salmon always
on exhibition.
There are a great many sights to see
at the exposition. The realistic re
production of Multnomah falls is worth
going miles to enjoy, and it is a great
success. The real water, with the
whole of Bull Run river liehind it, falls
80 feet; and the rustic bridge is there
for the people to cross, and the sylvan
pools, and ferns and mosses aud big,
live fir trees. The falls are attracting
great crowds and w ill run all the time
to the closing, October 28.
Portland is a very attractive oity t*
visit, and it has snch a splendid street
car system that the Btranger can see
the business section, the attractive
homes and the Hplendid suburbs all on
a single 5 cent fare, while comfortably
seated in open electric cars. Two car
lines pass the door of the great exposi
tion building, in which the great fair
of the Northwest is held— the City &
Suburban line and the Washington
street line— and all the stranger has to
do is to take a car which is plainly
marked, "D irect to the Exposition.”
The war museum, which is nnder
the direct supervision of Captain E. 8.
Edwards, Colonel D. M. Dunne and
General O. Summers, is a grand sight
to see. It was the carrying ont of a
brilliant idea suggested by Dan Mc
Allen, one of Portland’s most patriotic
and enterprising business men, and it
w ill be the means of adding many dol
lars to the fund being raised to the
Oregon volunteers who lost their lives
daring the recent wars.
The Immense exposition building at
Portland has tieen vastly Improved In
every part of its interior, and is gay
with flags and banting, and at night
presents a scene of splendor rarely
equalled. It has 3,500 electric lights,
aud presents a picture to be long re
membered.
