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,

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.

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. .

Eight-Year-Old Hero.
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

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

police arrived and several arrests were
made before the crowd was dispersed.
Later the missing boy was found un

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.

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.
