SAMOAN ISLANDS.
DifRculty Between the American Consul
and British Residents.

SAN Francisco, Nov. "A letter to
the Chronicle from a Samoan cores
poudent, gives another version of the re-
cent events there, and states that Griffin,
the American consul, took forcible poses
sion of the property of u. j. Smith u Co.,
British firm at Mulalulu, for an alleged
American claim without having first sent
the claim through the British consul as is
customary in the absence of legal system
in the islands. The representatives of
Smith & Co., and Hunt & Cubrough. re-
gained possession of the warehouse, and
the property was put under British soil.
Pending settlement Of matter, Griffin
tried to get the natives to attack the ware
house. but they declined, because he could
| not raise the $4,000 they demanded for the
enterprise. A committee of safety has
been organized to preserve peace.
CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-The first story which
reached here concerning the Samoan isl.
and trouble waso>that the German ano
British consuls resident at Samoan, haC
been levyiDg heavy rates of taxation and
fines upon the natives, averaging five dol
lars per male capita; that the natives have
sent McCloud Camia, secretary of theil
state, to negotiate u treaty by which tht
islands might be placed under the pro
tection of the United States, which treaty
they unanimously favor. The report con
tinues, that on Sept. 2lst an EnglishmaI
named Hunt, with an armed band, forcibiy
entered the American consulate, drov,
Griffith, the consul, out by force and CAV,
the archives to Captain Wright, an Amer
lean. Hunt threatened the consurs life i
he raised the American flag. Griffith fet
for safety to French gunboat in port
! whose captain kept him for four days
when the native authorities agreed to pre-
, tect the American flag, and Griffith wa
; sent ashore with guard under America
and French flags. The assailants have nc
yet been discovered, and circumstantia
account of the matter has been forwarde

talk even tor Tecumseh Sherman. The
army at the west has on many occasions
been a nucleus chiefly for rapacious traders

For some weeks there was a dismal ap-

they would lose the state of Massachusetts

ballot-boxes proved that the fear was
not we'll founded, but the majority was re-
dueed to thirteen or fourteen thousand-a
figure low enough to justify doubts as to
the future stability of the party ascendancy

a senator will not take place until after the
meeting of the legislature thus con

an advantage 10 the majority of the hold
