BLACKS ATTACK
WHITES AT BAGGA
Natives of Solomon Islands Start In
to Exterminate All Whites Who
Are Wedded to Native Wo
men Horrible Murder.
VICTORIA, 13. C, Doc. 17. Car
ryinj? oht n vow to exterminate -nil
whites innrriert to nntivos nnd their
uffcprinjTf n hond-hnnting chief
nmnod Sito, assisted by a mob of
blacks murdered Joseph Binskin, n
planter, his wife and two children
and . several native sorvants at
BajiL'a. Solomon Islands. The mas
sacre took place in tho latter part
of November and the news of tho
occurrence was brought bv the
steamer Aornngi which has just ar
rived from the antipodes.
Following the outbreak at Bnpgn.
an attack was made by natives on
tho tradiiiL station at Fisa which was
successfully defended by tho British
traders. The blacks rushed the sta
tion -'and some who scrambled under
the 4floor were setting fire to tho
building when killed.
Th'c- natives surprised the Binskin
family on their plantation and they
wereVlraek down with tomahawks
and hacked in a horrible manner.
A native boy who witnessed the
massacre, swam across tho' bay to
where some natives were employed on
land belonging to Binskin and word
was sent to T. Martin, a planter on
Ronnrd Island, who arrived an hor.r
after the murders. Tho sight on his
arrival was shocking.
If its a reasonable want, want ad
vertising will supply it.

slightest appearance of an attitude In.
Imlcnl to the llrm's very best prosperi
ty. 1 f the smallest Incident should bring
clearly before Orde that Newmark
might have an Interest In reducing
profits he would know tho logic of tho
latter's devious ways. For this reason
Newmark did not dare make bad sales,
nwkwatxl transactions. Tho protlts of
the first year were not quite up to the
usual standard, but they sutlleed.
Xewmark's tlnesse cut In two tho
ftwn's Income of the second year. Orde
rusd himself. With his old time en
ergy he hurried the woods work until
an especially big cut gave promise of
recouping tho losses of the year be
fore. Newmark found himself strug
gling agnlnst a forco greater than he
had Imagined it to be.
The end of the fourth year found
Newmark puszled. Orde had paid reg
ularly the Interest on his notes, now
much he had been able to save toward
the redemption of the notes themselves
his partner was unable to decide.
What Orde regarded as petty annoy
ances had made the problem of pay
ing for the Gallfornla timber a matter
of great difficulty. A pressure whose
points of support ho could not place
was closing on him. Against this
pressure he exerted himself. The mar
gin of safety was not as broad as ho
had reckoned. Rut In nny case. If
worse came to worst, he could always
mortgage the California timber for
enough to make up the difference, and
more. Against this expedient how
ever, ho opposed n sentimental ob
stinacy. It was Bobby's, and he ob
jected to Incumbering It.
Affairs stood thus in the autumn be
fore the year the notes would come
due. Navigation remained open Into
November. No severe storms had
swept the lakes. The barge and her
two tows had made one more' trip
than bad bceu thought possible.
The weather continued so mild that
Orde decided that they take on a load
for Jones & Mauley of Chicago.
"Did Intend to ship by rail." said
be. "They're all 'uppers,' so It would
pay all right. But wo can save all
kinds of money by water, and they
ought to skip over there In twelve to
fifteen hours."
Orde departed for tbe woods to start
the cutting as soon as tho first belated
snow should fall.
To Newmark, sitting at his desk
after Orde's departure, reported Cap
tain Floyd of the steam barge North
Star.
"All loaded by noon, sir," he said.
Newmark looked up In surprise.
"Well, why do you tell me?" ho in
quired. "I want your orders."
"My orders? Why?"
"This Is a bad time of year." ex
plained Captain Floyd, "and the storm
signal's up. All the signs ore right for
a blow."
Newmark whirled In his chair.
"Are you afraid?" he sneered.
Captain Floyd's countenance burned
a dark red.
"I ouly wanr your orders," was all
ho said. "I thought we might wait to
see."
"Then go," snapped Newmark. "You
heard Mr. Orde's orders to sail as soon
as you wero loaded."
Captain Floyd went out.
Newmark urose and looked out of
tho window. From the government's
flagpolo he caught tho flash of red
from the lazily floating signal. He
was little weatherwise, and ho shook
his head skeptically. Nevertheless it
was a chance, and ho took It, as be bad
taken a great many others.

Carroll saw the lake, slate blue and
angry, with whttecapped billows to
the limit of vision. Along the shore
were rows aud rows of breakers, leap
lug, breaking and gathering again.
These did not look to be very large
until she noticed the twin piers reach
ing out from tbe river's mouth. Each
billow as it came In rose sullenly above
them, broke tempestuously to over
