SPEAKING OF SAMOA.
The Matter Of Land Tenure
Causes Trouble.

BERLIN, May A committee of the
Samoan conference has prepared the
draft of proposal to constitute
court to decide questions of land ten
ure in Samoa. The court is to consist
of one representative of each of the
interested powers and two SamOaese.
Complications connected with existing
tenure threaten to impede progress
until the committee relegateS the set
tlement of the questions to the pro-
posed court. MeSSrs. Sewall and
BrandeiS have been present daily at the
sittings. Mr.. Sewall proved the un-
tenable character of number of Ger
that the extent of land claimed by
foreigners as bought or ceded was in
excess of the area of the islands. Mr..
Brandeis gave evidence on the validity
of German land titles and said he de-
sired to be heard on the losses of Ger
man planters. The committee declined
to consider such losses as involving
question of indemnity. The English
and American delegates express salts
faction at the progress so far made and
are hopeful that the convention
will be concluded early in June.
The attitude of the English
delegates will assist in the
solution of the question. Before the
conference it was suggested that the ell
tente between Berlin and London
would tend to throw the balance
against the American policy, but devel-
opments, since the opening of the con-
ference, warrant the belief that the
English delegates have been instructed
to join with the American representa-
tives in opposing German preten-
sions to special rights. The reports that
Messrs. Sewall, Parker and Buckingham
are not recognized officially and are
socially ignored are untrue. On the
contrary, they are we'll received every
where. The banquet to be given by
the, American commissioners at the
Kaiserhof hotel on Wednesday will be
brilliant affair. There will be present,
besides all the members of the confer
ence. the full diplomatic corps of all
countries having representatives at

and during the remainder of the game

leader of the 81 900 battery from Cleve-
land. began the game for the Minneapo-
lis club, but at the end of the third
inning was retired and VintOn took his
place. The latter played good game
and was hit but lightly during the re-
naming six innings. West made two
very rank errors in the sixth inning,
but redeemed himself by his good work
during the rest of the game. Dugdale
is considered no better behind the
bat than he was four years ago
when he played with Denver. The
outfielding of the visitors was excellent.

which cost them the game. In the
sixth Hoffman had an opportunity to
tie the game, but left third before
long fly was caught and was put out.
Klusman, the new second baseman, who
was recently released at Omaha by the
Milwaukee club, played his first game
to-day. His first time at the plate pro-
duced home run, but after this his
work was very poor, and it appears to
be the opinion of the public that he is
not what he is represented to be. Min

with the result of his visit and says that
fully 10000 militia men poured into
the city without disturbance, on time,
and on an average within sixteen hours
from the time they started from their
homes. AS the troop trains were de-
layed by regular passenger trains, and
were in cases Side-tracked to permit
other traffic to go on, Capt. Taylor re-

SIOUX CITY, To-, May "A shocking
case of graveyard desecratiOn has just
been stopped by the city authorities.
Graders at work in the extreme north
ern part of the city have made a deep
cut through an abandoned cemetery.
From twenty-five graves along the sides
of the deep cut the ends of cOffins were
visible. In some instances the ends OF
the coffins had been removed, and the
bodies protruded. All these twenty
five, except two, were the graves OF
adults. How many of the dead have
had their last resting places disturbed
in the body of the cut is not known.
nor is it known how many persons are
inferred in the cemetery. Even where
the graves were marked by marble the
stones were removed when the 'march
of Improvement" began through the
burial ground. 1t is said that num-
Der of soldiers are inferred. there.
Nearly a dozen graves were in the cut,
and from these the cOffinS were rolled
from the heavy scrapers, broken up and
the bones scattered over the ground.
Aid. Munchrath, who has relatives
buried thore, brought the matter to the
notice of the authorities. The body of
his wife's sister was thrust from her
grave. Friends were enabled to iden-
tify her remains by spectacleS that
still clung to her fieshless skull, by
ribbon she wore and by the cover of
prayer book which was buried with her.
The work of removing the bodies will
begin Monday.

AN AWFUL GALE.
The Society Islands Swept by
Storms.

SAN FRANCISCO, May Capt. Bcrud,
of the American bark City of Papeete,
which arrived to-day. reports terrible
hurricane Oh the Society Islands in the
early part OF March last. He was
compelled to lay off in the harbor
of Papeete, where he arrived March 6,
for six days because of the storm. The
winds were direct from the land, and
were north-northwest. Great damage
was done to the shipping in the harbor.
On March IL terrible storm prevailed.
On the islands trees were uprOoted, and
fences and houses razed. Many of the
vessels had 10 put to sea for safety;
among them the French cruiser Levolta.
The City of Papeete left Tahiti
March %. When the vessel left
her captain states there was not tree
left standing. The stleets in the city of
Papeete were impossible, and there
was a general cessation of business.
Great damage was done to the cocoanut
and orange groves. The wind storm
was preceded by heavy rain. The:
streets of Tahiti are wholly blocked
by fallen trees and other debris. It
will be some time before business can
be resumed there. So far as ascertained
up to the time or the departure of the
Papeete, very few lives were lost. =

GOBBLING LAND.
A Tempting Triangle in Nebraska
Attracts Settlers.

Special to the Globe.
YANKTON, S. D., May 4.-BetWeen
the Niobrara and Missouri rivers and
between the Niobrara and the Keya-
Papa river and the forty-third parallel
of latitude is point of land embraced
within the great Sioux reservation. 1t
originally belonged to the territory of
Dakota, but few years ago an act of
congress made the forty-third parallel
the southern boundary of Dakota from
the Missouri river westward, and de-
clared that this point of land would be-
come part of the state of Nebraska
title thereto. This practically leaves
it out of any state or territory
for the time being, and it would
be veritable ''No-Man's-Land'' but for
the fact that it belongs to the great
Sioux reservation, and is the red mans
land. The progressive white man has,
however, fastened his cOvetOuS eyes
upon this patch of ground. Settlers are
assembling at Niobrara, and are quietly
slipping across the NiObrara river and
occupying claims upon the tract above
described. They are OCCUPYING it as in
dividualS and as colonies, but as they
increase in numbers they will doubtless
organize for mutual protection and de
fense. Under the several acts of recog-
milton by the government. this is Sioux
territory. 1t does not become part of
the state of Nebraska until the Indian
title is extingulshed. The Indian title
can only be eXtinguished by treaty
agreement.

ST. JOSEPH, May 4.-With the score
to in the last half the tenth inning,
after Tredway and Carroll had sawed
the atmosphere into weather strips, and
with two strikes against him, Reilly
picked out low ball and pushed it over
the left field fence, winning contest
that was fought every inch of the way,
and which bid fair to end in draw be-
cause of darkness. St. Joseph opened
the game at bat. Cartwright struck out.
Curtis hit grOunder that Werrick
could not handle; Mahaney followed
with single, and passed ball ad
vanced both. Curtis scored when
Broughton threw wild to catch him at
third, and Mahaney walked in on one of
Mains pitches over the grand stand.
Ardner struck out, and kerig fOuled
out to BrOughton. ST. Paul opened her
half of the inning with rush. Hawes
hit to left. Curtis misjudged the fly
and it became double. Murphy's sac
rifce advanced Hawes to third and he
scored on Pickett's single. Pickett failed
In his effort to steal second. Tredway
struck out. ST. Paul added another in
the third on Whitney's error on Hawes'
hit. Murphy's base on balls and Whit

Another was added in the fifth to the
st. Joe end by Cartwright ON an awful
error of Tredway and singles by Curtis

THE SCORE TIE.
st. Paul broke it in the last half by
an earned run scored off Pickett'S
double and Carroll's second, The
eighth was corker. Curtis fouied to
Broughton, Mahaney made his third
safe hit. Mains hit Kreig. and Smith
chased both home on hit over the left
field fence. Frye's single and Whit
ing and Knell retired the side. Right
here St. Paul arose in her might and
showed the home team how to play
ball. Pickett, the first man to
bat, made his second double,
went to third on Tredway's sacrifice
and came in ahead of Carroll, who du-
plicated Smiths home run hit. Reilly
reached first, when Curtis dropped his
high fly, went to second on Werrick's
single. to third on a passed ball, and put
st. Paul one in the lead, when Brough-
ton dropped a hit back of the short field.
Cartwright, the first man to bat in the
ninth. knocked the ball over the center
field fence, and the score was again
stand-Off, How the game was won has
already been told. The features of the
game were the terrific hitting of both
teams in the last half of the game: the
pitching of Mains and Knell and the
phenomenal back-stop work of both
Broughton and Mahaney. The two
double plays credited to st. Paul were
of the gilt-edge brand. The audience,
which numbered 5000, was absolutely
impartial, and Carroll is a few dollars
richer by reason of his home-run hit, on
which he made wager. The score fol-

NASHVILLE. Tenn, May 4.-Rumors
of great deal in horse flesh gained
limited currency tonight. These
rumors, which bear the stamp
of accuracy. were to the effect that
the owners of the Chicago stable late
yesterday afternoon increased their bid
for Proctor Knott, and display ed great
anxiety to secure the three-year-old
prodigy. The stable secured an option
on the horse at $4,000, but whether
that option has expired or not
is not definitely known. During
the interview between johnson, of
Haukins & Johnson, and Mr.. Bryans,
the latter bantered the former for race
with Terra Gotta any distance. mile and
a quarter preferred, Proctor Knott and
Terra Gotta to carry weight for age,
and the race to take place either at the
West Side track or in Louis

johnson was unable to act upon
the challenge and what will come of it
is not known. One thing is certain,
however, and that is the Chicago folks
are intensely anxious in their efforts to
secure the Futurity winner. and will

Northwestern states and Manitoba, with
Il chain of lake ports entirely unri-
vailed; Duluth, Ashland, Milwaukee,
Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo and Toronto,
would all be reached by this gigantic
system of railroads, while the great
grain belt would be penetrated in every
direction, and a very short haul would
carry the produce of this vast territory
to the East, to Portland in the winter
and to Point Lewis in the summer for
shipment to Europe, While connections
at Buffalo for New York are abundant.
This is a suggestion of what seems
probability, founded upon the
history of the past and the indications
of the future. How long this deal will
be in going through is difficult to say,
but the near future must bring about
very great changes in railroad circles,
and the tendency seems to be towards
consolidation into vast transcontinental
systems. The smaller roads are losing
money, and 1t is only by closer relations
with the large ones that they can keep
atloat. An alliance between the North
ern Pacific and Grand Trunk of SIM
liar nature to that between the Cana
dian Pacific and Manitoba would there
