Pirates Sentenced to Death.

END OF A TRAGEDY OF THE j SOUTH SEAS. Brest (France), December B.—Alex ander and Joseph Rodrique, brothers, on trial before the naval court marshal, charged with murder, mutiny, and piracy in the South Pacific, have been condemned to death. STORY OF THE CRIME. The story of the flagitious crime for which these brothers were convicted was brought to.San Francisco in August 1892 by a schooner trading between that port and the Tahitian group, and aroused con siderable interest at the time. The vessel on which the crime was mitted was the schooner Dolly, built at i Benicia, on San Francisco Bay, and used for a considerable period in the South Sea trade, but subsequently sold to King Pomare of the Tahitian Islands, by whom she was used as a pleasure boat. Eventu ally she was purchased from the King by a commercial firm on the islands and fitted out as a trading vessel, bub the night before she was to have sailed she disappeared from the harbour, and no further word of the craft was heard till she was captured by a Spanish warship, j and the story of the murder of the captain and crew made known by the ccok, of whom the brothers Rodrique had made an accomplice. THE COOK'S NARRATIVE. According to the story told by the cook, the mate, Rodrique, smuggled his brother on board at Tahiti the night the schooner left the port Both men were well armed, and as soon as it was dark enough for their purpose the brothers unshackled the chain to avoid the noise that would be made by heaving up the anchor. Then at the point of tludr revolvers the cyptain and supercargo were placed in irons and the sailors compelled to make sail on the vessel. In this manner the schooner was taken out of the harbour without attracting any attention, and once clear of the land she was headed for the Permoto group, and every stitch cracked on the vessel to escape pursuit. It was not until the third day out thab the brothers felt safe enough to carry out the rest of their horrible programme. Then while his brother kept guard on deck the mate went to the galley and forced the cook to put poison in the soup he was cooking for the sailors' dinner. The poor fellows little thought when they filled their plates that they were eating their last meal on earth. A FAT_ MEAL-. When the poor fellows began to ea', Rodrique and his brother watched them through the skylight, and a fiendish smile spread over their faces as the fatal drug performed its deadly work and the four men rolled on the fl >or in their death agony. The poison selected by the pair of fiends was most powerful, and inside of half an hour from the time the soup was ladled out the four men lay stiff in death on the floor of the forecastle, The murderers then held a council to decide on how Captain Castella and Supercargo Gibson were to be disposed of. The mate wanted to poison them also, but his brother was in favor of shooting them and getting the work done as quickly as possible. The mate at last agreed, and the pair at onse ran into the cabin to seek the life of two more victims. Captain Castella and Gibson had no idea that the four kanakas had been murdered, and when the mate entered the cabin he asked what the crew were doing. THE CAPTAIN SHOT DEAD. "They are doing nothing," answered the brute, as he drew his revolver and levelled ib at the captain's head, while Door Gibson tried to save himself by rushing past the two murderers to reach the deck. Tn an instant the double re | port rung out, and Captain Castella fell across the table with a bullet in his brain. The mate's aim had been true, bub his brother's hand trembled as he pulled the trigger, and the supercargo staggered acrsss the cabin and sank into «■„ chair with a bullet in his shoulder. The poor fellow begged the men not to kill him, but dead men tell no tales, and another shot scattered his brains over the body of his captain, and the fearful work was complete. While this bloody work was being carried on the poor cook watched through the skylight, fully ex pecting his turn would come next. After killing the captain and Gibson, the mate took the wheel, while his brother and the cook, who dared not disobey the pirates, dragged the bodies of the two men out of the cabin and threw them over the side. BODIES THROWN TO THE SHARKS. The bodies were hardly in the water be fore scores of sharks appeared, and in an instant the bodies were torn to pieces and devoured. The cook was then directed to clean up the cabin and wash away the blood. The bodies of the sailors were left in the forecastle until the following day, when they were hoisted on deck and laid on the main hatch. The shirks were still close to the schooner, as if they knew there was to be a repetition of their ghastly feast, and when the mate threw the first body over the side it hardly touched the water before it was torn to piect s? and devoured. The pair of murderers seemed to take a keen delight in witnessing the ravenous tigers of the sea ab their fearful meal, and as each body waa cast over the side they watched until the last portion of it had disappeared. The cook was then told thab if he wanted to live he had < o do as he waa told or he would be dropped over the side alive, and a glance at the cruel eye* of the monsters that followed in the track of the schooner showed what that meant. The schooner was kept on her course until one of the islands of the Permoto grsup was reached, where a crew of | natives was shipped, and the mate in- I stalled himself as captain and his brobher as mabe. THE MUTINEERS ARRESTED. Considerable trading was done, and then the schooner was headed for the Kingman «roup. Here the two brothers went on a debauch that lasted several days. The brothers were still drunk when a Spanish warship entered the harbour, and i then the cook made up his mind to go on board and let the Spanish commander know what had occurred. He waited until th« Pair of murderers had *allen into a drunken stupor, and then, lowering the boat, the cook rowed to the warship and bold his story: ' A cutter was ab once lowered and sent to the schooner, and when the pirates awoke from their drunken slumber they found themselves ironed hand and foot and on'thg lower deck of the Spanish warship. A pri_e crew was placed on the schooner, and five days aLer the two vessels' sailed for Tahiti, where the pirates were turned ova? to the French authorities.

THE MINISTERIAL PRO GRAMME. DISGRACEFUL SCENE IN THE HOUSE. PER KRESS ASSOCIATION. Sydney, January 17. Parliament was opened by Commis sion at noon to-day. The Governor's speech contained nothing fresh, being on the lines of the Government pro-, gramme already indicated. I Mr G. B, Reid, leader of the Oppo-1 sition, moved an amendment to the Address-in-Beply, generally condemn ing the Government for proroguing Parliament at a critical time. Sir G. R. Dibbs, the Premier, said if Mr Reid's action were endorsed it would plunge the country into chaos. Mr H. Copeland, Minister for Lands, proceeded to address the House, and Mr J. Hindle rising to a point of order asked the Speaker whether it was competent for a member to address the House while in a state of intoxica tion. A most discreditable scene followed. Mr Copeland, who was greatly excited, threatened to " wring that d— scoun drel's neck," but was prevented by other members from walking across to Mr Hindle. The galleries were cleared, and Mr Copeland was ordered from the Cham ber during the remainder of the sitting; but it was decided not to proceed with business, and the House adjourned almost immediately. (Received January 18, 1115 a.m.) Sydney, January 18. After the House adjourned last night, Mr Copeland, who had caused the scene in the Chamber, loitered about waiting for Mr Hurdle, who wisely departed by a back entrance. The scene was extremely painful. There was a Minister of the Crown, dressed in a short white dock coat, with vest, hatless, and witb collar and tie away, standing in front of tbe main entrance to the House, with a laugh ing, jeering crowd near him. Some members of the crowd occasionally remarked to the police to lock him up, exclaiming—-" If he had been a poor man you would have done so." Sir G. R. Dibbs and Mr Sutton vainly endeavoured to get Mr Copeland within the precincts of the House, but a general movement of the crowd hustled the whole party into the House.
