" VThfttTFTlicj Were Cannibals I
Tbe New Yerk IHmcs reI ahead of lis
contemporaries In announcing that the
starving Oreely poeplo nte the bodies of
tlielr dead te keep alive, and even idiot
ene man, whom they ate, becnuse he
etnln Um rations of the e'hers. It 13 a
very startling ntery ; aud It ia no wonder
that the 2Vmw rushed into print
with it, without seeking efllcial
connrmati'en of it. The truth is it built
up the story mainly by guess work. Tl e
sailors en the relieving ships seem "In
have been made suspicious by tp man
ner in which the bodies vrcreuarded
frtm observation, aud the story started
ameiiK them that seme of the bodies had
been eaten In wJiole or in part. The tnle
or the sheeting seems te have sprung
from the exclamation of ene of the survi
vors, who was flighty when relieved. He
Is said te have begged that he should net
be " killed and eaten, as noer Henry
was." It is denied, however, that any
ene ever made such an explanation. The
nlllcers of the expedition refuse te sa
anything ; and the men are carefull
guarded at the Portsmouth navy yard, se
that the reporters cannot Ret at them
General Ilazen says he knows noth
ing ; which will readily be believed ;
he never knew (mythlng. Secretary
Chandler refuses te admit or deny ;
which Is evidence enough that there is
something in the story. Captain Schley
retreats behind the military regulations
and will net talk.
Evidently the story has seme founda
tion. Whatever it has should have been
made known by the authorities at once
Their vain endeavor te keep it secret,
only serves te give an Impression tha'
something very wrong and discreditable
has been done 5 whereas there w.ts
nothing wrong in these men eating the
bodies of their dead comrades te sustain
their lives. It would have been a very
sensible thing te de. The bodies of the
dead could net have bejn put te a better
use than te keep life in the living. N'ei
was it wrong necessarily te kill a man
for disobedience of orders in stealing
rations. The ciicunistances may well
have justified such severity of
punishment. It would have been
wrong te make the mail's offense a
pretext te get ids body for feed ; but net
te kill bim for his crime, and eat him as
an after consideration. The proper way
for the party te have doue when they
get out of feed, and had te die or eat
etch ether, wjti' l hive been te cist lets
as te wlie sii mid first hi alvn aud eaten

survival of the fittest. Probably the
Greely pirty did this; and unjenu who
would take exception te suulcemluct is
l)DS3eSbed of u vast deal mere of sensi
bility than of sanse. The objection te
the consumption of human ilesli is alt a
prejudice at any rate ; just a3 is the
antipathy te liersa flesh. We are all
creatures of prejudice. We have read
lteblnsjn Crusea in our yeutli and never
will free ourselves from the bslief that
ciuuibalism is the capstone of horrible
deeds. But our reason does tnt siy s

Dr. Twining was selected for this dell

went and si eat two full days in the most
thorough Investigation ; ene day with
the gentlemen, journalists, clergymen
and ethirs who are responsible ter the
d hsemiiiatlen of the stories, and fellow
ing up lines of investigation suggested
by them ; and another in visiting tlie
leading citizens of Buffalo, Republicans
and Democrats, who best knew Goer
nor Cleveland, mid who knew all about
the stories, and in getting their Judg
metit as te his diameter. This niveau,
gatleu was made absolutely thorough,
and the result of it is stated in the rev

Such a statement, tremuiich a source,

The following ltt'cr was written by
Grever Cleveland te his brother en thn day
of his oleetiun te the geieruf rship of New
Yerk :
Mayeii'mOfi in:, Rulfale, Nev. 7,1332.
My Jh(tr llrelhtr :
1 have just vet.-d 1 sit here in the
mayor's olllce nleuc, with the exception of
au artist from Frank Loshe'B newspaper,
who is sketching tlie olllce. If mother
was hore I should be writiug te her, and I
feel as if it were time for me te write te
seme ene who will beheve what I write. I
have been for seme time in the atmos atmes atmos
pheie of ccitiilu success, se that I have
been sure that I should assume the duties
of tlie high i illce for which I have been
named. I have tried hard, in the light of
this laet, te properly uppriclite the re
sponsibilities that will icst upon me, aud
tlit y are much, tee much uu JereUinntud.
But the thought that h is troubled me is:
Can I well perform my duties, and In such
a manner as te de seme geed te the poeplo
el the htat 'J? I knew thcie is room for it,
ami I knew that I am honest and sincere
in my desire te de well, but the question
is whether I knew en nigh te accomplish
what I desire.
The social life which tceins te await me
has also been a suhji ct of much anxious
thought, I have a notion that 1 can rogu regu rogu
late thit very much as ! ilcnlr", and if I
can I shall spend very little time in the
purely ornamental part uf the ofllce. In
point of faet, I will tell you, first of all
ethers the policy I intend te adept, and
that is te make the mutter u business en
gagement between the people of the state
ami myself, iu which the obligation en my
side is te perform the duties assigned me
with an eye single te the intoreat of my
employers. I shall have no idea of re
election or of any higher political profer
ment In my head, but be very thankful
and happy If I can well serve one teim as
tlie people's goveruoi I) ou knew that
if mother wote alive I should feel se much
iiafn '.' I have nlwuys thought that her
pray cm hud much te de with my success.
I shall expect you nil te help me in that
way. Bollevomo, youralb-etinnatebrotbor,
