gnawmgs of an empty stomach, he wa» tn
qnaatly in that condition of ahipor which
precadraa -teeit . b_> tr.miru ■ « freeing, or by
both combined In effect he spoke as follows:
"Early on Saturday morning w« left the
pilot boat Turley, rowing for one of the
American line Bteauierv We put Pilot Mar
shall on the steamer and then started to row
back. It was a dark morning, with a high
see and a north west gale.
"The gale drifted us further out to sea
Wbaii day broke we could see the Turley
cruising about for life. but the white caps ran
ao high she could not *ee our heat. We had
had nothing to eat blue* supper Sunday night,
and both Swanson and Hanson were fam
ished The thole pins broke early in the
morning, and we had to split up our steering
paddle to make new ones. Later I lost the
new }*addle that I had fixed to steer with,
and then I broke an oar and our boat was m
danger of swamping. About 8 o’clock on
Tuesday afternoon, when thirty-fire miles
off Cape Healopen, and still drifting out, we
made out a squai*e-rigged vessel across our
bows, and we hailed her. The captain and
crew were on deck. I stoxl up as she passed
us and shouted. Captain, in the name of God
throw us some bread or give me a line.’ i
held a painter ready to threw it, but the cap
tain just waved bis hand and took no further
notice of us. lsaid:‘Bj —I hope you’ll sink
before sunset,' and if there h anything in curs
Ing. he will have had bad luck I d have shot
him if I had had a gun. We had been thirty
six hours without food or water.
’‘Swanson went crazy. Swanson and Han
•on were scared nearly to death all the time,
and before Swans*»n drank some sea water, I
found him sharpening a knife on an oar I
asked him what for. He said he meant to
drink my blood. When it was dark both
men got their knives to kill. When Swan
son was quiet, I went forward, pretending to
look at the painter, and slipped his knife
away from him J also took Hanson’s knife
from his pocket Late that night we sighted
the ship Kingsfork coming out of the capes and
tried to row for her but when we got within
two miles of her, the night shut down dark.
Rwanson was raving of hie mother and sis
ters in Sweden and still drinking sea water.
I drank no sea water, but only moistened my
lipa with it, and now and then <*howed the
•ticks of some matches I had in my pocket
“About 2:30 o’clock Tuesday morning
Swanson, who was lying in the bottom
boat, said he woe frown. He spoke <>nce
more of his people in Sweden, then groaned
end died. Hansen woke up soon afterward
and cut him open to drink the blood and
liquids from hie body, but there was nothing
to drink, and then he cut off about three
paufids vs flesh He ate a part of it, and of
fered me a piece, but my stomach revolted,
and my piece was lying in the boat when we
were picked up. ”
At this point Bertrand's memory failed.
At first he said Bwanton died Monday, while
Hanson who seems to recollect better, «ays
that death occurred Tuesday, and that the
body was cut open Wednesday
“After Hausen had eaten the flesh,”
Bertrand resumed, “it seemed to ease him,
and hewer' te sleep We drove before die
wind, I don't know bow long. I had lost
count Hansen went to sleep again, and I beat
him to keep him from freezing I didn’t lose
hope. It rained that night, ami I caught rain
water by bolding up the ends of my oil
•kina Wednesday morning I made out a
chooner. We were thirty-five miles from
AlMecom. The schooner did not see us until
it got pa#. I wet my hand, nibbod my lips,
and gave the hardest yell I ever gave in my
life. They beard me, and the captain ran to
leeward, and when he got within hailing dis
tance I heaved the corpse of Swansea over
board.”
“Why?" was asked.
“I didn't want the captain to see it,” he
replied. “I had kept Swanson's body up txv
•ause I meant to eat it if necessary. ”
(hi this point Hanswi says the sain**
“The body was so badly cut up,” he said,
“that we didn’t want any one to see it.”
Hausen is a Dane not seventeen years of
age His story agreeb in the main with Ber
trand’s, save that he assert* that Bertrand
ate some of thefleeh. Whether this reticence
bides a tale of crazed men in a desperate

DISMAL PROSPECTS.

Resist a 4iispeiiaion of Work.
Eazi.kton, Pa.. Nov 30.—The great min
ing and transfiortation corporations repre
senting the coal combination have deter
mined upon a general suspension of o)«eratioD|
at the collieries m the Schuylkill, Lehigh,
Wyoming and Lackawanna regions. The
•u»pens;on will be ordered about December 1.
An army of between 75,000 and 100,0U0 will
be thrown out of employment by the move
ment. The colliers, considering the scheme
uncalled for, unwarranted and unjust upon
the part of the companies, are pre|>ar
ing to begin a counter movement, and it is
confidently Itelieved serious trouble will en
sue. The Miners’ and Laborers' Benevolent
Association, which was a large aud powerful
labor organization previous to 1870-71, but
which became bankrupted in the long strikes
of those years, is being organized again,
.xiready lodges have been formed at Miners
vjlje. Ashlaud, and >uh*r places
in the middle coal field. The Amalgamated
Association of Miners and Laborers is also
being strengthened. These bodies in con
junction with the Knights of Labor are
stirring up a strong sentiment among all
• -lassiof colliery operativee
From private sources it is learned that the
24,U00 colliers employed in the Cumberland
• Maryland and Kaaawha (West Virginia
and Virginia) bituminous districts have re
solved to strike agaiutst the conqianies’ propo
sition announcing a reduction of twenty j>er
cent, in wages, the new schedule to go into
effect on an after December 1. This move
ment has been pushed by emissaries sent by
the Knights of 1 ait tor tu those distric ts to sow
the seeds of discord and distention. “Molly
Xaguireism” is cropping out. Colliery prop
erty is being watched by incendiaries, aud
several instances are known where mine
works have fallen beneath the incendiary’s
brand. “Black-leg” or non union miners, or
others, who have in any way incurred the
animosity of the “Molly Maguires,” receive
“coffin notices." warning them to quit the
country under the penalty of speedy anil
luminary death.
The Knights of Labor and other organlza
tions are silently but surely perfecting their
plans for the projected vast labor demonstra
tion, and so hostile have members of some of
the lodges become that an undefined ami
srave feeling of insecurity prevails in those
mining eommunitiws where the power of the
dangerous clans is strong and threatening.
The Communistic element has defiantly man
ifested its utter disregard of the law in nu
merous cases. AU the recent unaccountable
murders that have occurred in the middle
and northern coal fields, as well as in the bit
uminous regions, are attributed to the “Molly
Maguire’’ hatred. Late aflain are rapidly
impressing the honest, reputable, and law
abiding citizens with the apprehension that
the coal regions of Pennsylvania are soon
again to witness a renewal of the scenes that
were enacted when “Molly Maguireism” was
rampant.
HONORING BANDALL.

—“A Solid I iiion.”
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. So. The presence of
Lemuel J. Randall in Atlanta to attend the

CUTTING DOWN.
The Pennsylvania Dlamlealnc It*
Fin ployee.
Philadelphia, Nov. 30.—-It Is reported
that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company is
about to materially reduce tho number of
its employes on its lines east of Htteburg, as
well as west, and that us a starter 300 of the
800 men engaged at the Fourth street office
are to be dismissed at once. A prominent of
ficial of the company, when asked to the
truth of the rumor, said: “Retrenchment is
the order of tho day, but the case is clearly
not so bad as it has apparently been
represented to be. it has been decided to
cut down the number of our employes, and it
will done within, say, a month. I cannot
give you figures, but no radical proceedings
is nwessary or will be made. Wo shall
simply be doing what any prudent man
would do in a private enterprise in these
times. It is only necessary to examine the
recent monthly ratemenia to see that the
earnings of the road have, owing to the de
pression in business, decreased. Since we
have less to carry than formerly we need a
smaller service. We shall lop off all super
fiuous trains and discharge all unnecessary
men. We thtik it is much bet
ter to make our service narrow
than to niaks a general reduction
of wages. Where wages are cut down it is
inevitable that Dost of those who suffer
should become dissatisfied and the character
of the service be lowered If, however, we
weed out every unnecessary man without re
ducing wages, those who remain will work
all the harder. People have got the impress
ion l hut radical changes have been made in
the West from tho fact that branch roads
have very largely been brought under one
accounting head. That idea has been in
practice here for several years, and has been
found to be a decidedly good one.”

Washington, Nov. 30.—A gentleman who
has been consulted by Secretary McCulloch
•s to his forthcoming report, who has read it,
lays that McCulloch has not changed his
views within a year. It is, therefore, not
difficult to determine what the views of Mr.
McCulloch will be ujion some of the impor
tant pending questions. Before he became
Secretary of the Treasury he authorized a
utatement of which the following is a synop
sis.
Among other things he said as to National
Banks: “The system ought to be preserved. I
regard it as one of the best fruits of the War.
Practical measures to maintain it ought to
be taken, but I confess that there does not
seem to be any reason to expect much from
the incoming Congress. Ever since it re
peated the Missouri compromise the Demo
rats have bew making blunders. Positive
action on their has always been disas
trous to them for thirty years past, and their
leaders seem to think the only safety is in a
negative course. They may consent to the
repeal of the tobacco tax.”
Mr. McCulloch also said: “What the
country, the people, and the banking system
alike need -is a reduction of taxation. I
thought the changes in the Tariff and Inter
nal Revenue laws last winter would effect it,
but the reduction was not sufficient. If I
were in Congress 1 would vote to repeal the
tobacco tax altogether, and individually 1
might favor the entire abolition of the inter
nal revenue system, although it would seem
pretty hard to take the tax on whisky off
while the duty is retained on cheap blankets,
clothes, and other articles of necessary con
sumption.
i “As a measure of temporary and partial
relief of the banks, it might be a good plan to
allow them circulation on the market value of
the bonds deposited by them, but I do not think
the Democratic majority in Congress will be
likely to do anything which would diminish
tho amount of security now required as a
basis for national (sank note circulation.
Neither do I think out people will ever con
sent that British consols shall be used as a
security for United States bank issues.
“The proposition to exchange the 4 per
cents for 3s running twenty-four years is a
good one, and would give the banks a new
lease of life, but it would afford only tem
porary relief. What it seems to me should
be done, and what I advocated as Secretary
of the Treasury, is for the Government to
Issue a bond bearing a low rate of interest
which could be used not only as a basis for
national bank circulation, but for the secure
Investment of trust funds. It would be a
great advantage to the )»oople if the Govern
ment would issue permanent bonds to the
amount of, say, f100,000,(MM). The tax would
notftoe felt, and the advantage it would bring
would tar exceed in i tdue the outlay re
quired. That would insure the permanence
and security of the national bank note circu
lation, which above all things in our financial
tystem ought to be preserved.”

CROWDING APPLICANT* FOR OFFICE.
Between sixty and seventy applicants for
clerkships in the Goverment departments
were examined by the Civil Service Cominis
•ioners yesterday in a room in which possibly
thirty five or forty could be comfor. ably ac
commodated. More room is one of the most
pressing needs of the Commission. Its pres
ent quarters are part of the upper floor of a
little building adjoining the Agricul
tural Department Building. If should
have more and larger room*, and
It would do no harm if the Com
mission met somewhere within easy reach of
the business and dwelling part of the city.
When the examination began yesterday rain
was falling. As no retiring room could be
given them, the lady applicants had to dis
pose of their “waterproofs,” cloaks, umbrel
las, rubbers, and reticules on and under their
chairs and desks, and wear their bonnets
while undergoing the examinations. The
male applicants left their overcoats, hats, and
umbrellas in the hall, taking their chances of
ever weing them again. AU the applicants
were examined in a room so crowded as to be
uncomfortable. It was the best the Com
missioner* could do, for their earnest appeals
for better accommodations have thus far
been without effect.
MEXICO LIED ABOUT.
Th» Hec*ut Trouble* There Greatly
Exaggerated.
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 30.—Cooper S.
Butcher, a well-known merchant, has just
returned from a visit to Mexico. He says he
near Sabinas at the time of the dis
turbance there, reported as an election riot.
It really was an agrarian row, caused by the
Mayor of the town, who owned a great deal
of land, trying to establish a monopoly in
water. In the fight he was killed. The people
armed themselves for fear of the Govern
ment troops, but General Trevino came with
only twenty-five soldiers and settled the
affair without trouble. The two men who
did the shooting were locked up. There was
no bloodshed. At Saltillo there was a close
election, and both parties claimed a victory.
General Trevino was invited by both sides to
come there and act as arbitrator- not as a
general but as a mediator. He canvassed the
result impartially, and the count was pro
grossing, when Butcher left, in as orderly a
way as the recent canvass in New York City.
Butcher believes Mexico will be peaceful and
thrive under Diaz.
