TROUBLE IN SAMOA! German Part of It in an Un. settled State. CAUSED BY MATAAFA FACTION In Tutnlla and (he Otur America Islands tba Natives An Pav abl and HvvT- ' Apia, Samoa, May 18, via San Fran eisco, June 4. Since the German flag was hoisted in Samoa, affairs have been in an unettled state. The Ma taafa faction uutil after Eastor re mained in or around Apia, claiming that although they had given the king ship to the commissioners in July last. they had not by any means given up their rights to govern the islands nnder the guarantee given to them by the DerUn treaty, which assured the au tonomy of the Samoan group and the right of tho natives to elect their own king. Matuafa claimed that the treaty powers had no right to hand over the government of the islands to any single power, and that such a course was not assented to by his people. Dr. Kolf, the newly appointed gov ernor of Gorman Samoa, had thus at the very outset of his career a difficult and trying position to (ace. After sev eral interviews, in which the matters were discussed from the different points of view, the natives agreed to return to their homes aud there await further news after the arrival ol diepatobes from the German u-overnment. It ia generally oudorstood the governor con ceded the right ol tbe majority ol the natives to be the party who should be consulted later In the formation ol the native administration and be entitled to appointments thereunder. The Mataafu party claims that "the spoils belong to the victors." In Tutuila the American representa tive, in the person of Commander Til ley, ol the United States steamer Aber enila, has had a much more agreeable and pleasant experience than Dr. Soil. There the natives bailed with enthusi asm the hoisting ol "Old Glory" At Manua, the island lying oast of Tutuila, the chiefs have requested Commander Til ley to visit the islands in person and there hoist the flag. This be consent ed to do,' and tbe date fixed lor the function was May 17, but at the time of writing there is no news from that place. Customs regulations have been pro mulgated by the commander. Tbe only port of entry in Tutuila is Fango Pungo. Tbe duties are the same as formerly collected nnder the Berlin treaty, with the one exception that the export duty on oopra has been abolish ed. Lands are not to be alienated by the natives, although lands may be leased fur a period not exceeding 40 years with the approval ol tbe com mander. The natives will be governed in districts. There are three districts, eaoh under a chief. Under the chiefs are the judges aud village magistrates, and an appeal lies from all to the com mandant. The importation of arms and ammunition is strictly prohibited. POLITICS IN SENATE. Rxnator llmina, Hal and Tillman Id In tha Debate. Washington, June 4. The senatorial debate today was caustic and as warm as the weather outdoors. At times the exchanges between senators bordered on personalities. Much of the discus sion was of a political nature, although In themselves the questions involved were not essentially political. Soon after the senate convened, a memorial was presented from the people of Cali fornia asking that the government pro vide some relief for the starving people of India. Hale, with this as a text, severely arraigned Great Britain for expending hundreds of milliona of dol lars in crushing liberty and freedom in South Africa, instead of caring for the helpless and dying people of Eng land's chief colony. Aldrioh charged Hale with making political apeeohea on irrelevant matters, and a little later, when Hale reported a further dis agreement on the naval appropriation bill, an exciting discussion arose over the armor-plate question. A sharp political twist was given to the debate by a speech which Hanna delivered in favor ot leaving the whole matter in the hands of the senate conferees, and of conferring discretionary powers npon the secretary of the navy in accordance with the house proposition. He be came involved in a controversy with Tillman and Allen over the govern ment's ability to manufacture armor satisfactorily, iu whioh the sparks flew, to the intense interest ol the auditors. Teller, Allen and Pettigrew replied to Hanna, all speaking in a political vein. Tho bill Anally was returned to confer ence. . Seventy-nine private pension bills were passed, and also the military academy bill carried amendments mak ing Geueral Miles and all future com manders of the army lieutenant-generals, and Geueral Corbin a major general. Consideration ot the last ol the appropriation bills, the general de ficiency bill, was begun, but was not completed. Delia Pox Is Inaane. New York, June 4. Delia May Fox, the well-known actress, was today com mitted to an insane asylum by Justice McAdams on petition of her brother and on evidence ol physicians, showing that she is laboring nnder delusions. A oontraot haa been let by Mrs. Jane L. Stanford for the new chemistry building at the Leland Stanford uni versity. The total contract Is alightly in excess of $100,000. PLAQUE SITUATION. Cltlaes ef Han Franolsea State Their . Grievances In Detail. San Francisco, June 2, -Referring to quarantining ol Chinatown, the attor neys for the Chinese Six Companies have made the following statement: . "We shall do nothing precipitantly in tbe way of litigation, and therefore we do not contemplate making an ap plication to the courts at this time for any order to modify or hinder the oper ations ol tbe board of health. "A cause of considerable uneasiness among.tbe inhabitants of Chinatown is the lack ol quarantine regulations thus far observed within the quarantined dlatriot. Tbe general quarantine order keepa 20,000 people within a pre scribed district, and that a compara tively samll district. In this district it is not claimed that there are or ever have been more than nine or ten cases. The contention made by the people who are subject to the quarantine is that if it is necessary to quarantine this num erously populated district, it In the dnty ol the bbard of health to go furth er and quarantine or isolate the houses and persons who are laid to be in fected. "We shall also request the board of health to proceed vigorously with tbe sanitation of the quarantined district. The question of expense la a secondary matter. . 1 f genuine bubonic plague ex lata there, tbe city abould atop at noth inmg to stamp it out. A million dol lars would be a mere trifle to expend In doing this work quickly aud well." Chinese Consul Ho Yow takes the position that the municipal government d( San Francisco is bound to furnish necessaries for the support of the quar antined Chinese. -- The federal authorities refused to issue clean bills of health to the steam ers City of Peking and Australia, which have sailed (or the Orient and Honolulu. They will have to undergo quarantine and fumigation on reaching HawaiL ; - EXPLOSION AT AN OIL WELL Poor Farmers Killed and Seven Ber lonaly Injured. Marietta, O., Juoet 2. An explosion of nitro-glycerine on the Kelly farm, a few miles east of tbia city, resulted in four deaths, (onr fatally injured and three seriously injured. Fifty quarts ol nitro-glcyerine bad been lowered in a 870-foot well. Tbe "go devil" waa dropped as usual, but failed to set the shot off. A 'squib" was made with glycerine in a tube connected by a (use. This was dropped and in striking tbe can at the bottom tbe main shot ex ploded and sent great quantities of water, oil and the nnexploded squib into the air. The squib fell on the derrick floor unnoticed. As soon aa the water cleared away there was a great rush to the derrick by the inquis itive countrymen. Tbe Marietta Tor pedo Company and contractors could not keep them back, but tied to a safe distance themselves. There were about 15 in the derrick when the fuse to the squib Ignited the glycerine, and the terrible result followed. William M. Watson, II. E. Selton, Frank Speers and Thomas Daniels were killed. Those fatally wounded are James P. Sneers, Herman Speers, Daw son Stallar and William Carpenter. Those seriously injured are John Stal lar, Walter Daniels and Henry Stallar. All the victims are residents ol this county, well-to-do and prominent citi sens. . EN ROUTE TO PEKING. Small Forees Landed From tha Foreign Warehlps Pass Tien Tin, Tien Tsin, Jnne 2.

Media, Pa., June 2. Two children were dragged from a burning house on the track farm of T. Steerbicksloe last night by their 8-year-old brother. His mother, carrying the baby and a lamp, fell on the stairway, the lamp setting fire to the house. 1 The boy, realiziuii that the house- was doomed, dragged oot a brother and a sister, who were intent on rushing through the fire to their mother. Then he returned for his mother, lvhos arms clasped the baby, but her weight waa too great for his lit tl arms, and, as the llames wore clos ing on him, he lied heart-broken to a place of safety. Ignorant Foreigners In a Blot. Chicago, June 2. A free dispensary at 610 West Eighteenth street, aaid to be conducted by medical students, was attacked today by a crowd of in furiated Bohemians and Lithuanians, and before the polioe arrived in re sponse to a riot call, the building waa badly damaged. Today a boy disap peared, and his boy companion report ed that he had been waylaid and killed by the dootors. In a few moments a mob of several hundred people was at work demolishing the building. The police arrived and several arrests were made before the crowd was dispersed. Later the missing boy was found un harmed. ' , Flag un Under Control. Chicago, June 2. Bubonio plague, whioh has been epidemic in Sydney, Australia, is said to be under the con trol and dying out, in a private cable gram received by Charles Oliver, head of the commission in charge of the railways of New South Wales, who is visiting Chioago. WAS IT ACUINALDO? The Filipino Leader or Adjutant Shot His COMPANIONS TOOK HIM AWAY Rlehly Caparisoned Horn Viae Left With Saddle-Bags Containing In surgent's Diary nnd Papers. Viagn, Luzon, via Manila, June 5. Major March, with his detachment ol tbe Thirty-third regiment, overtook what is believed to have been Agui naldo's party on May 19, at Lagat, about 100 miles northeast ol Vigan. The Americana killed or wounded an officer, supposed to be Aguinaldo, whose body waa removed by his fol lowers. Aguinaldo had 100 men, Majoi March 125, the American commander reaching La Boagan, where Aguinaldo had made his headquarters since Mircb 6, on May 7. Aguinaldo had fled seven hours before leaving all tin beaten trail and traveling through the forest along the beds of streams. Toward evening, May 19, Major March struck Agui naldo's outpost about a mile outside ol Lagat, killing fonr Filipinos and cap turing two. From the latter he learned that Aguinaldo had camped there for the night, exhausted and half starved. Major March's men entered Lagat on the run. They saw ibe insurgents scat tering into the bushes or over the pla teau. A thousand yards beyond th town, on the mountain side, the figuret of 25 Filipinos dressed in white with their leader on a gray horse were silhouetted against the sunset. Tbe Americans fired a volley and saw tbe officer drop from bis horse. His fol lowers fled, carrying the body. The Americans, on leaching the spot, caught the horse, which ' was richly saddled. Blood from a badly wounded man was on the animal and on tht ground. ,Tbe aaddle bags contained Aguinaldo's diary and some private papers , including proclamations. One of these was addressed: "To the Civ ilized Nations." It protested against the American occupation of the Philip pines. There waa also found copies of Senator Beveridge's speech, translated into Spanish and entitled: "The Death Knell of the Filipino People." Major March, believing that the Filipinos had taken to a river which ia a tributaiy of the Chico, followed it for two days, reaching Tiao, where be learned that a party of Filipinos had descended the river May 20 on a raft with the body of a dead or wounded man npon a litter, covered with palm leaves. There Major March reviewed his command, shoeless and. exhausted, ami picked out 24 of the freshest men, with whom he beat the sui rounding country for six days longer, but with out finding any trace of tbe insurgents. The Americans pushed on, and arrived at Aparri, May 29.. The officer shot waa either Aguinaldo or his adjutant, and as the horse was richly taparisoned, it is fair presump tion that it was Aguinaldo. STILL FAR FROM QUIET. Sevornl Bleturbaneea by the St. Louis Car-Strikers. St. Louis, Jnne 5. A riot of small proportions, during the progress of which a boy was fatally shot and a dynamite explosion occurred, marred what would have otherwise been an nneventful Sunday. As a car on tbe Tower line was passing the corner of Twelfth and Calhoun streets, a crowd of strike symptbixers threw rooks at it. An unknown man in the car fired a revolver into the crowd. The bullet struck Peter Frank, 18 yeara old, who who was sitting iu tbe doorway of bis father's house. A detachment ol police dispersed the rioters. The boy will dhs. At a late hour this afternoon an ex plosion of dynamite shattered the cable conduit and switches of the Olive street line, at the intersection ol Maryland and Boyle avenues. Mo one was in jured, but traffic on that end of the line had to be suspended. There is no cine to the perpetrators. More than the usual quota of police was furnished today for the protection of passengeis and crews, and as re- suit the number of cars on the various lines ol the Transit company was materially increased. Cars were oper ated on 16 lines. This morning the nucleus of the first regiment of special deputies forming ; Sheriff Pohlmann's posse comitatus, consisting of iu companies ol u men, eaoh armed with shotguns, were as signed to active service in preserving order. Their duties consisted in pa troling the streets and doing guard duty at the various power houses and car sheda. Floods in Texas. Dallas, Tex., June 4. Tremendous rains have fallen in the last two days. The rise in the Brazos at Waco since last night in 23 feet and the river is still rising six inches an hour. It is oot of its banks, and much alarm ia felt. Tntnlrmon nnrl anntinn mftn rtn tha Central New England railroad in Con- I necticut and New York, struok for ' 1.50 a day. ' Tha Strike in Chalon, France. Chalon, Sur Saone, France, June 5. The strike here reached a critical stage last night, and today the city is atudded with soldiers. The trouble began during the afternoon, and at night the street lamps were extinguish ed and missies of all sorts were thrown at the cavalry and gendarmes, who fired, killing one of tbe rioters and wounding 20, some of them seriously. Fifteen gendarmes and two cavalrymen were injured. The trouble is not yet ended. THE ALUM BAKING POWDERS. Name of Soma of tha Principal Brands Sold In this Vicinity. The recent discussion in the 'papers of the effect npon tbe human system of food made with alum baking powders snd he opinions that have been pub lished from noted scientists to the effect that such powders render the food unwholesome, have oauaed numer ous inquiries for tbe names of the vari ous alum powders. The following list of baking powders containing alum is made up from tbe reports of state chemists and food com missioners, ol Minnesota, or other reli able authority: Halting Powdera CtMalnlng Alum; K. C Contains Alum Jaques Mfg. Co., Chicago. Calumet. Contains Alum Calumat Baking Ponder Co., Chicago Home Contains Alum Home Baking Powder Co., Han Francisco. Washington .Contains Alum Paciue Chemical Works, Taeoma, Crescent Contains Alnm Crescent Mfg. Co., Seattle. White Lily Contains Alnm V. Ferrera A Co., Taeoma. Bee-Hive Contains Alnm Washington Mfg. Co., 8n Francisco. Bon Bon Contains Alum Grant Chemical Co., Chicago. Defiance Contains Alnm Portland Coffee A Spies Co., Port and. Portland Contains Alum Beno St Ballli, Portland. In addition to these, it is learned that many grocers are selling '.what they call their own private or special brands. These powders are pot np for the grocer and his name put upon tbe labels by manufacturers of alnm pow ders. The manufacturers, it is said, find their efforts to market their goods in this way greatly aided by the ambi tion of the grocer, to sell a powder with is ovn name npon the label, especially when tbe grocer can make an abnormal profit npon it. Many grocers, donbtlesa, do not know that tbe powdera tbey are thns pushing are alum powders which would be act ually contrabrand in many sections if sold without diagnise. It is quite impossible to give the names of all tbe alum baking powders in the market. They are constantly appearing in all sorts ol disguises, nnder all kinds of cognomens, and at all kinds of prices, even as low as five and 10 cents a pound. Tbey tn be avoided, however, by the housekeeper who will bear in mind that all j baking powdera sold at 25 cents or leas per pound are liable to contain alum, as pure cream of tartar baking powders cannot be produced at anything like this price. BURIAL OF SPANISH RULERS. Weird Ceremonlnl Custom Proscribed for Royal ObaequJee. ' Strange and almost weird is the cere monial which accompanies the burial of Spanish kings. The pantheon, or royal tomb, is at the palace of Escurial, situated 8,000 feet above the level of the sea and some distance from the capital. Only kings, queens snd moth ers of kings are bnried there, the coffins of the kings lying on one side, and those of the queens on tbe other. Alter lying in state (or several days in the throne room in Madrid, says the San Francisco Argonaut, an enormous procession is (ormed accompanying the body to the Esourial. A halt is made on the way and the corpse rests there for one night. In the morning the lord high chambei lain Btands at the side of the coffin and fays in loud tones: "Li your majesty pleased to proceed on your journey?' After a short silence the procession moves on and winds np to tbe grand portal of tbe palace. These doors are never opened except to admit a royal personage, dead or alive. When the casket containing the remains is at last placed in the vault the chamberlain unlocks it and, kneeling down, calls with a loud voice: "Senorl Senorl Senorl" After a solemn pause he cries again: "His majesty does not reply. Then it is true the king is dead!" He then looks the coffin, gives the key to the prior (the palace of the Esourial contains also a large monastry and the church) and, taking his staff of office, breaks it in pieces and flings them at the casket. The booming of guna and tbe tolling of bells announce to the nation that the king haa gone to his final resting plaeo. Savlug Onoaelf by Pervlee. . A man was traveling over an Alpine pass. lie went over tne glaolers, sink iDo in the enow step by step, upward, until he was awearv. High on the summit of the pass a desire to sleep overcame him. He could hardlr nut one foot before another. Just as he was almost sinking down into the sleep which would have proved the sleep of death to him, he struok his foot against an obstacle which proved to be the body of a tiaveler "who had preceded him. He bent down, found that the heart bad not ceased to beat and began at once to rub the frozen limbs and to do his best to reanimate the body. In his effort be was successful. He saved the man's life; and, in the effort, he banished his own desire to sleep and so saved his own life in saving another. Herald and Presbvter. Already Tamed.
