Ship From Friendly Islands Brings
Details of Awful Fate of Christian
Workers.
Seattle, Wash. The barkentine
Mary E. Wlnkelman, which has Jn.-it
arrived at Mukllteo, Wash., from the
Friendly or Tonga Islands, In the
South sea. brings delalls of the mur
der and eating by cannibals on Sav
age Island, near the Tongas, of the.
Rev. Horatio Hopkins and his ansist
anl, the Rev. Hector Laurie McPhcr
001 missionaries of the Presbyterian
mission, on February 5.
Willie the barkentine lay at Tanga
tabu in I lie Tonga Islands, a canoe
load of mission natives from Savage
island arrived at Eua. bringing news
of the butchery.
The rfitivM said that Hopkins and
Mel'herson were teaching In the mis
sion building which stands on tile
beach in the little harbor of Savage
island, when 200 of the unconverted
savages, howling war cries and bran
dishing clubs and spears descended
upon their quarters and took every
one prisoner. The missionaries had
about twenty converts undergoing
training at the time and only nine
converts escaped. Both missionaries
were hound with thongs and were lei I
lying on the beach in the tropical sun
for several hours while the savages
took the native captives Inland.
The cannibals, on returning to the
beach, carried the missionaries on a
litter to the crater of the extinct vol
cuno Vanlne, in the center of the
Is'nnd. There, for two days and nights,
they held a corroboree and at times
could be seen plainly dancing and rev
eling by the fugitive mission natives
as they stole along the shore
While most of the cannibals were
sleeping an opportunity came to the
captive natives to escape. Their go
ing was hastened by the slgnt of two
of the cannibal chiefs donning the
missionaries' clothes. The clergymen
had already been eaten.
VICTORY FOR LEADER8.
Democrats and Insurgents Defeated
In What Is Regarded as Test of
Strength.
Washington. By the decisive vote
of 35 to 29, the administration Repub
licans on Friday defeated the Cum
mins substitute for the Crawford-El-klns
traffic agreement provision of the
railroad bill. This question had been
practically monopolizing the attention
of the senate for the last week and
was regarded as one of the most im
portant of the subdivisions of the
bill. The vote is generally accepted
as a test of the strength of the con
tending sides and It Is believed it pre
sages the passage of the bill by a safe
majority.
Of the total membership of 92,
there were 28 senators who did not
vote, and of these, four, all Demo
crats, were absent and unpaired. They
were Senators Clark of Arkansas,
Bankhead of Alabama, McKnery of
1ouisiana and Smith of Maryland.
All the Democrats present voted for
the Cummins provision, so that If the
four Democrats mentioned had been
present and had voted for the amend
ment, the ballot in its favor would
still have been less by two votes than
the vote against the provision.

SOIL IS BEING IMPOVERISHED
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
Sounds a Note of Warning to
Farmers of Middle West.
New York. Causes that tend to in
crease the high cost of living and the
proper conservation of the soil as the
remedy for the Increase were subject
matters of an address on Wednesday
by Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson, before the New York produce
exchange. "We cannol afford to be
buying food from foreign countries,"
he said, "and we must see to It that
our western farms produce enough,
not only for home consumption, but
also to sell abroad, and square up the
balance of trade.'
"The cost of living calls for a care
ful inquiry into the causes that have
operated to bring about conditions now
to us as a people. We have had great
abundance of food and prices that
were lower than most other countries
with which we compete In commerce
and manufacturing. Compensation for
skill and labor has been comparative
ly high In our country, but Increased
cost of living has been an absorbing
factor that cannot be adjusted at
present to the satisfaction of those
concerned.
"The major part of our people in
the east are being fed from the Mis
sissippi valley, and the states of the
south draw much from the same
source. I am well satisfied that the
soils of that valley are being subject
ed gradually to the same unwise treat
ment that so seriously destroyed the
soils east of the Allegheny 4 south
of the Ohio."

the court to prevent the marriage of
Ruth Bryan Ieavitt to Reginald
Owen," William II. Ieavitt said
Thursday night. The notice in the
newspapers of the approaching mar
riage of his former wife came as a
complete surprise to him. He said the
only Information he has ever had of a
divorce Is such as he has seen In pub
lic prints. In case he receives no di
rect word from Nebraska, Mr. Leuvitt
says he will leave here in time to
reach Falrvlew before the marriage
can take place. "I should not hesitate
to stop the ceremony if that were the
only way to get possession of my chil
dren," he said.
