SOUTH SEA ISLANDERS.'
Officers Puscled in Regard to Shipment
of the Natives to Mexico.
San Francisco, Sept. 8. The brig
Tahiti, which put into Drake's bay Sat
urday in distress, is reported to have left
today for San Benito, Mexico, with her
human cargo of 200 8outh'Sea Island
ers. Customs officials were in doubt as
to what course they should pursue in
the matter. Ttie Revised . Statutes of
the United States provide for the seizure
aud forfeiture of any vessel found within
the jurisdictional limits of the United
States having on board any person of
color with intent to land the same with
in the United States or elsewhere as a
slave or to be held for service or labor.
Collector Phelps states, however, that
the vessel had been driven on the coast
by a stress of weather, and that her offi
cers had not intended to enter American
waters. He had no revenue cutter with
in reach to send up to examine the brig's
cargo, nor had he authority to engage
other crt.ft for that service.
Captain Ferguson, who is part owner
of the craft, states that he is acting as
the authorized agent . of. the Mexican
government to assist emigration to that
country, and that the terms of the con
tract, which were explained to the na
tives before, signing, provide that they
shall work three years for f 8 monthly ;
shall be given free passage to and fro"m
the islands, and shall be given a house
and tract of land and be furnished with
food and clothing. The bafk. Helen W.
Almy took 240 islanders from Tahiti to
San Benito last year under the same
terms. Before the vessel can leave the
island with such a cargo, said Capt. Fer
guson, some consular - representative
must examine each native and certify to
the passenger list. In the case of the
Tahiti tnis was done bv A. Hick," consu
lar aeient of the United States at Gilbert
islands. - ' -

A Plucky Connecticut Girl -Publicly
Chastises .a! Farmer. . -
New. Haven, Conn., Sept. 7: Miss
Mary Jacobs, who is regarded as the
prettiest girl in the village of North
Haven, last evening horeewhipped Wil
liam Van Doren, aged 60, one of the
most prominent Xarmers in the village.
To emphasize Van Doren 's humiliation,
the girl's father supplemented her work
when she was tired and gave the old
man another drubbing. Miss Jacobs is
aJresamaker.Htud lives with ber parents
about two miles from the center ot the
village; ' Van Doren lives njbt far 'away.
One of Miss Jacobs' . friends is Henry
Brackett, a married man. . Van' Doren
has gossiped to some extent about the
girl's friendship tor Brackett. .Yester
day morning Mies -Jacobs and her father
appeared at Van Doren 's just asvhe was
going into his barn. : .Miss Jacobs inter
rogated him as to whether be had made
remarks about her which had been at
tributed to him.- The old man attempted
to explain his conduct on the ground
that it was somewhat strange for a girl
to be seen with a married man so much.
whenMiss Jacobs suddenly produced a
Dig horeewhip and began to "vigorously
apply it to the slanderer. She aimed
every blow at his face and her. aim was
true. Her rage increased . and every
blow seemed to fan the' flame. While
old Van Doren yelled pitifully with pain,
neitner nis entreaties to spare him nor
his efforts to protect his face were of any
avail, and before the enraged girl was
through with him his face was raw
Then Jacobs took a hand and Van Doren
was thrown on his back and -severely
pummeied.
Activity In the Military Camps.
, London, Sept. 8. A dispatch from.
Odessa tells of a great amount of activity
displayed in the different military
camps in South Russia during the sum
mer just passed. Every battalion for
more than eighty or 100 days has been
engaged in tactical exercises, and during
the last month work has been carried on
as if on the batile-field. The maneuvers
have shown, however, some weak points
in the Kussian armor,, as, for instance,
the fact that an enemv could, land in
force Just outside of Odessa and attack
that city without having encountered a
foe.

DAY OF CONVENTIONS
A Cold Water Convention at Worcester,

Convene at Rochester.
Mormons Not Wanted in Great Britain
A Budget of Home and For-
eign News.
Worcester, Sept. 9. The prohibition
state convention was called to order this
morning. The platform denounces the
liquor traffic in the usual manner. The
seventh plank is as .follows: "We de
plore the depth of degradatian to which
the national department of state has de
scended in becoming a drummer in for
eign lands for the beer lords of this
country and add to this other facts of
refusal to unite with other nations in a
treaty for the suppression of slave trade
and rum traffic in Africa. The presi
dent who finds five kinds of. wine neces
sary for his official banquets, the vice-
president who applies for a liquor license
for his 'shoreham,' the senate that will
not banish a bar-room from its wins of
the capitol and the house that' strangles
all inquiries into facts of liquor traffic,
and we have a perfect demonstration of
complete dominancy of rum in foreign
or national affairs.
New fork Republican Convention.
Rochester, Sept. 9. At noon Gen
eral Knapp, chairman of the state com
mittee, called the republican State con
vention, to order. . He, spoke briefly In
reference to the "man from Maine" and
wastreceived with terrific and prolonged
applause. ' William Goodrich was then
chosen temporary chairman. .
Goodrich in his speech said, upon the
subject of silver, "An honest dollar for
an honest debt. The democratic party
is like a. lizard, changing its color accor
ding to the envirions. At the south it
stands for prohibition ; in the north' for
free rum. On the Pacific coast and in
Montana it demands free-coinage of sil-

majority, and places a hard monev man
upon it, and at thee jet it demands gold

ern Colossus with one foot in the execu
tive chamber at Albany and the other
in the senate chamber- at Washington.
his eyes greedily fixed on the presiden
tial chair in which he will never sit.
The coming contest is that of Hillism

political conscience, of the voters of this
commonwealth, and "on such ieste we
shall suffer no defeat." " :
NO PLACE FOB MORMONS.
Missionaries Looked Upon With Indig
nation in Great Britain. "
London, Sept. 9.-Public opinion in
Great Britain at present is turning with
indignation upon the. Mormon crusade
being made in many country districts.
Revelations just made show there are
200 Mormon "missionaries" at present
working in Great' Bfitian and Scandi
navia. Particular attention has been
called by the press - to the operations of
two young mormon "missionaries" who
have been working in the village of Lan
cashire, and some strange disclosures as
to the

A Youthful Ticker.
Rochester T'ost-express.
A bright little boy ot 4 summers was
sent on an errend by his mother' to a
grocery a short distance from home.
,tie came home contentedly eating a
banana. "Where did you get your ban
ana?" said his mother.
. "Bought it," he replied quietly.
"But I gave you no money to buy
one,' sue said.
"Oh, well," he replied nonchalantly.
"I told Mr. .Blank to let me have .one
and I would be in and pay for it next
week." - '
- The young gentleman had evidently
been taking lessons of older people who
buy on tne credit system.

HUNTING BALHACEDA.
The Fugitive President Has Evidently
Fooled His Enemies.
Valparaiso, Sept. 8. Rumors con
tinue to spread concerning the wherea
bouts of the fugitive president.. Balma- '
ceda. The other day it was said that he
was fleeing by way of Los Andes into the
Argentine Republic, his purpose being
to reach Buenos Ayres. Now it is re
ported that, not daring just at the pres
ent time to make an attempt to escape
from the country, he has taken refuge in
some one of the foreign legations or else
has concealed himself in a monastery.
If he has been fortunate enough to gain
admission to a legation, be will in all
likelihood be protected from the wrath
of his triumphant enemies. If on the
contrary he has sought refuge in a mon
astery, he is in imminent danger of be
ing captured. The iunta will undoubt
edly cause all monasteries to be searched
tor him if they put any faith in the re- .
port. It seenis hardly plausible, how
ever, that he should seek an asylum with
the clerical party, as it has been a recog
nized fact ever since the outbreak of the
war in Chili that the priests were almost
unanimously in sympathy with the con- .
gressionalists. Ex-ilinister of Foreign
Affairs Aldundate, while traveling to
wards Santiago today, was stopped by
an armed body of men at Quillota, fifty
five miles from here.
Russian Naval Evolution.
London, Sept. 8. A St. Petersburg
dispatch says that the Russian naval
meneuvera will be unusually interesting
this year." The plan of operations is
based on the consummation of. a block
ade of the Gulf of Finland. by an enemy's
squadron. Itis supposed that a hostile
fleet has already made itself master of
the Baltic, and 'is engaged in: the double
task of blockading the Gulf of Finland
from Cronstadt and'damaging the com
merce of the neighboring ports by cap
turing the coasting vessels. The Russian
fleet finds itself compelled to defend the
chief Finnish ports and. is directed with
a view to that object. The Kussian
ships will be distributed' among the is
lands ef the Finnish archipelago. ' -.(

AMERICAN FORK.
What the Effect of the Prohibition
Re-
I Will Be.
Paris, Sept. 8. Le Temps today says
the decree of Germany removing the em
bargo on American pork is a veritable
coup-de-theatre', astounding the agrar
ian party who believed in the axionr
that the governor would never withdraw
the prohibition. The progressists are
intoxicated" with their success, their
leading delusion being that free Ameri
can pork means iree grain in the near
future. "German American accord will

commercial relations. France must

Matching Her Pug.
New York Advertiser. ,
"Have you any material to match
that?" asked a pretty girl in a fashion
able drygoods shop on Fourteenth street.
"To match what?" queried the clerk,
looking over the counter to see a pug
dog led by a chain.
"To match Jack," answered the lady,
quietly stroking the dog.
Without a word patterns were exhibit
ed until the exact shade of Jack's silky
coat - having been found, a pice was
prdered sent to a fashionable dresf-rtiaker
on the avenue, and that port of the
transaction was ended, as if matching
dogs was an every-day occurence.
