.Met a Horrible Death.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 29. The start
ling and horrible story of the killing
of two Washingtoniaus and the muti
lation of their bodies by the natives of
the Congo Free State , has just been
received hero in a letter to Mr. Leo
Harmon , of 1723 Ninth street N. W.
The men were members of a party
which , during November and Decem
ber , 1S94 , and January , 1895 , went from
this city to enlist in the Belgian army
for service in the Congo Free State.
Those enlisted included Edward
Thornton , a commissioned officer in
the National Fencibles , employed in
the war department ; Lindsay G.
Burke , Frank Batchellor , Harry R.
Andrews , Barry Sparlin and Mr. Mel-
lin , who was at one time a noncom
missioned officer in the United States
army. All except Thornton and Mellin
were members of the National guard
of the district.
The information received by Air.
Harmon is that Burke and a party of
fifty natives who were sent out to
dislodge a band of dwarfs who had re
volted , were ambushed and killed. An
Arab who was with the command ,
but was some distance off at the time
of the ambuscade , states that he
knows Burke was dead before the na
tives reached him and that the most
hideous looking man he ever saw
walked up and cut Burke's head off
with one blow of a knife. The chief
then began to slice pieces off his legs
and arms and distribute them among
his followers.
There were so many of the fiends
that the pieces were very small , and
before they had concluded there was
a free fight to see who could get the
little remaining. In some manner the
dwarfs became alarmed and left the
place , one fellow carrying off Burke's
arm. The Arab saw the cause of their
alarm , as Windeey , a New Yorker ,
who had command of another detach
ment of soldiers , sent out on the same
errand , arrived right after the natives
left. Windeev eathered un the remains
of Burke and bpriea them. When Win
deey learned the strength of the reb-
pls ho hurried back to Michau and no
tified the commandant of the post.
The other Washingtonian who lost
his life was killed on March 1 , when
the troops under the command of
Baron Dhanis , revolted near Kaban-
barre and assassinated a number of
officers of their regiment , among them
being Mellin. The body of Mellin was
butchered almost beyond recognition ,
his heart having been cut out and
burned so that his courage could not
be used against th rebels by the
whites. It is their belief that unless
the heart is burned and the ashes
scattered to the four winds the spirit
of the man descends to his brethren.
Thornton is said to be in a very pre
carious situation at Baska , but a re
lief expedition has been sent to his
rescuo. Gage , another American is
very sick with the fever at Nyangine.
The killing of Burke occurred in De
cember , 1896.
Fottisjrpiv to Oppose Annexation.
HONOLULU , Nov. 29. Senator Pet-
tigrew of South Dakota and ex-Sen
ator Dubois of Idaho wil leave for
San Francisco today. Both men are
practically against annexation. It is
a change of front on the part of Du
bois. When he was a member of the
senate L. A. Thurston , who was then
Hawaiian minister at Washington , re
marked and repeated frequently that
Senator Dubois was one of the most
enthusiastic supporters of the annexation - I I
ation proposal. In a recent speech
before an audience of Hawaiians at
Hilo , Hawaii , Pettigrew said :
"We come to your island for the
purpose of ascertaining what the people
ple who live in this country thought
about the question of annexation of
the islands , and also to see what we
could learn about the desirability of
annexing these islands , if we so de
sire. I have supposed that many of
your people were in favor of annex
ation , because it has been so repre
sented , but I have tallied to many
and I have failed to find a native
Hawaiian who is not opposed to an
nexation to the United States and in
favor of your own government. I
shal tell what I have seen and what
I have heard in the senate when the
question comes up. I should do that
even if I were opposed to what you
want done , but I am not opposed to
it. "
Four native Hawaiians will leave
for Washington tonight to work
against annexation , Robert Wilcox ,
who was to be one of the party , has
decided not to go. He says he con
siders the trip a waste of time.
A Sunday Srlinol Army.
NEW YORK , Nov. 29. Rev. Dr.
James A. Worden , supertindent of the
Sunday school department of the Pres
byterian church in this country , has
begun a movement to celebrate the
opening of the twentieth century. His
idea is to recruit the Sunday school
army of his church so that instead of
1.000,000 members , as at present , it
will consist of 1,500,000. He wants this
work of enlisting the 500,000 of rein
forcements completed by April 1 , 1901. i
the beginning of the church year in i
the first year of the next century. He
has worked out an elaborate plan and i
has urged the prosecution of a vigorous - '
ous campaign throughout the union ; :
for the next four years.
Alsripr Dpnirs the Report.
WASHINGTON , D. C , Nov. 29.
Secretary Alger said that he had not
received any letter from General
Miles of the purport stated in the
recent dispatch. Port Townsend is
one of the frontier sites at which
the government is contemplating
making some improvements in the
way of fortifications , and the secre
tary suggests that the presence there
of engineers in making surveys may
have given the impression that the
government was about to locate
troops at that place. 1
B
TALK OF ALASKA.
Gov. llrady SiicceHtn : Conimlmlun to
Visit tin' Country.
SEATTLE , Wash. , Nov. 29. In an
interview Governor John G. Brady
of Alaska said :
"The business men and officials of
Alaska are concerned in effecting
some change of amplification of the
laws as they arc at present in force.
They will combine to submit to con
gress a proposition to authorize the
appointment of a committee which will
consider the needs of Alaska on the
ground. My idea is that the commis
sion should consist of a senator , a
representative , and three bona fide
residents of Alaska. If we are able
to get a commission something may
be accomplished for the good of Alas
ka. Otherwise time devoted to Alaska
will be frittered away in the consid
eration of individual bills of no ben
efit to the country as a whole.
"Many think Alaska should have a
territorial form of government. The
objections to this are. manifold , chief
among them are the sparse popula
tion of the country. A territory
means taxation , and the people are
not there to be taxed. It would beef
of little avail to submit to congress
resolutions for a change in the code
now in existence. These things must
be investigated by a commission
which can ascertain the needs of tne
people by personal examination. Wo
want an extension of the land laws ,
the regulation of the fish industry ,
the naturalization of the natives , the
right of appeal and laws for the pres
ervation of game.
"The smuggling evils must be dealt
with by the commisson. Last year
21,000 gallons of Canadian whisky
were smuggled into Alaska. "
Governor Brady thinks that Alaska
will be as great an agricultural and
farming country some day aa a min
ing one. His trip to this city is on
private business. He wil not go to
Washington to attend the coming ses
sion of congress as has been reported.

the decision of the commissioner of
the general land office in the case of
John Lawrence , jr. , vs. August Gai
