tons.
SAN FRANCISCO, January 21.-Samoan
advices received by the steamship Zealandia
to-day state that the natives have been
forced to borrow money from the Germans
to pay the taxes imposed by the new gov
eminent. The Germans have arrested and
imprisoned the natives for visiting friends
and relatives in neighboring islands. King
Tamasese maintains his authority by sup
port solely of the German men-of-war and
it is stated that if this support were with
drawn he would be deposed in aday. Three
German men-of-war left Apia for Hong
Kong in November, leaving two to guard
the islands. A correspondent writ
ing from Apia under date OF
November 20, states that when the
time for the payment of taxes arrived,
meetings of influential chiefs were held in
various parts OF the island to consider
whether they should pay or not. The most
significant OF the meetings was held by
Tamasese's own party. Tamasese sent a
%peremptory message to the chiefs prohibit
ing the meeting and they turned a defiant
answer and held the meeting all the
same. As far as can be learned,
they decided to pay the tax into the hands
Ut the officers, but hat these officers
shall not deliver it over to the Germans
until a satisfactory settlement has been
arrived at. Reports have been received
from several points stating that some OF
the chiefs were standing out against the
payment OF the AK. Une OF Tamasese's
policemen sent to remind one OF the chiefs
to pay the tax at once received answer
from the chief that he had his repeating
rifle, that his wife had hers, and all his
family relations, some twenty altogether,
had theirs and that was all they had to
pay taxes with.

SP%RINGFIELD, Mo-, January 21.-In the
Cora Lee trial to-day an effort was directed
mainly to tracing Graham and his wife
after arriving in Springfield. Much of the
out at the first trial, with which the public
is familiar. George NJ. Sawyer, Register OF
the United States land Office, Was present
when the body was found in the well. He
talked to Cora about the body, and she
said she did not believe it was Sarah Ora
hams. She thought Lee Breeze had
brought a body from St. Louis and put it
in the well.
WAS any inducement held out by you to
induce the defendant to make such a state
ment?"
The question was objected to and ruled
out, but before this could be lone the wit
ness had answered NO." whereupon the
defendant sprang to her feet and with tears
in her eyes said:
"Mr. Sawyer. did you"
Here she vas checked by her attorneys.
Mrs. Plumb, wife of Rev. j. C. Plumb, first
saw Cora Lee at her Mrs. Plumb's) house,
where she remained several times each day
while Cora was there.
Rev. j. G. Plumb. minister of the First
Congregational Church, testified he had
married Graham and Cora. He had been
annoyed by Graham's intimacy
with Cora while they were stopping at his
house before the marriage. Several wit
nesses gave rather vague evidence about
seeing a woman drive out toward the farm
and back late at night about the time Ora
hams wife was murdered.

Dramatic Deed of u Young Girl in Pres
ence Of Her Dying Lover.
North Adams (Mass.) special: The fol.
lowing story comes from Hancock, an iso-
lated hill town neal the New York State
line: Carrie Brockaway, aged 16, has been
receiving attention from Washington Sweet.
Farmer Brockaway, her father, and her
brothers objected and warned Sweet to de-
sist. The warning was di regarded. Brock
away and his two ons armed themselves
and went to Sweets house. Sweet learned
of their coming and barricaded the house.
When admittance wasdemanded Sweet shot
from a window, seriously wounding one OF
the son in the hip. Shooting continued
on both sides for some time. Finally
t he shots from within ceased. Just then
Carrie, having heard of the action of her
father and brothers, reached the scene.
She cried to her lover not to shoot, as the
B~rockaways approached the house. When
the door was forced open, Sweet was found
dead, with a bullet wound in
his neck. The girl frantically upbraided
her relatives. and Selling a carving knife
a table, cut her throat and fell dead
across Sweets body. Sweet revived, but
will probably die. The inhabitants of the
village, mostly French Canadians, are
excited. and as they are taking
for and against the Brockaways, the
feeling may result in more violence.

THE DEADLY TELEPHONE.

How it Blasted the Life of \ Butte Bust.
ness Man-Driven Frantic by the
Ringing of HIS Creditors-He Takes 1t
Down, and Regains His Health and
Equanimity.
A gentleman doing business in one OF
Butte's important suburbs has been sorely
annoyed by the persistence OF a number of
his creditors. They utilized the telephone
for dunning purposes to such an extent
that the very ring of it made him feel sick.
His throat got sore from bowling his ex-
cuses into the transmitter, and he began to
regard it rs a kind Of Internal machine. It
became a veritable nightmare TO him, and
fresh and original excuses to deliver into
its Unsuitable as it planted itself on
his stomach to receive them. He was los
ing flesh very fast, and he saw that unless
he obtained relief he couldn't live to utilize
the spring boom that would enable him to
pay up his debts. A few days ago he con-
sidered the situation carefully, and con-
cluded that the advantages of the tele-
phone, in his case, were SO greatly over
balanced by the disadvantages that he
could afford to do without it until better
times, and by taking it out he would obtain
a rest from his importunate creditors. He
had it taken out, and that night had his
first good sleep in several months, and
next morning it was evident that he was
flesh. In the meantime his creditors
were FOSTERING the central office for conrec.
ton with 4O2, and melting the wires with
the heat of their language when they found
it was not to be had. Yesterday one of
them went out and hunted up the delinquent,
and finding him asked:
"What made you take out that tele-
phone?"
"Well," said the delinquent, II found she
telephone was no use to anyone but you
and the rest OF my creditors, and it was
ID foolishness for me to keep paying
the rent for it just to enable you fellows to
worry me into my gave. Now if you want
It there you will have to get it put up at
your own expense, and if you do l will
lose the Office until spring, and do my
somewhere out OF hearing"
The creditors nave taken the matter
advisement.

ANACONDA, January 21.-ICorrespond-
ence OF the Miner.- "A mining section which
attracts much attention here at present is
the Leadville hill, a portion OF the same
mineral belt as that on which the famous
Gable mine is situated. 1t was not until
last season that work OF any Importance
was done here, and in fact the deepest shaft
yet sunk Is that on the Leadville No. 1,
which is down sixty-two feet. This shaft
sun on an incline corresponding with the
dip OF the vein, shows throughout a we'll
defined lead ietween good, strong walls.
The formation is lime and porphyry, the
lime being in immediate contact
with the vein on the Twin No. I.
an adjoining lode. 1t will be remem-
bered that the latter claim was bonded
two months ago to a company already
engaged in mining operations OF som
magnitude. A contract vas then let to the
owners, and a statement appearing in a
Butte paper two weeks afterward in regard
to the same is calculated to convey a
wrong impression. and to affect injuriously
the mining interests of this district. In
