A Man Murders His Mistress and At
tempts to Kill Her Children.
Boston, July 13th.-A horrible tragedy
was enacted in Somerville early this morn
ing The victims were Mrs. Catherine
Smith, aged 40, her son Thomas, aged IA,
and the perpetrator of the deed, Augustus
Rosenberg, while two other children OF
Mrs. Smith were injured, one of whom will
die.
The murderer has been living with Mrs.
Smith about a year as her husband, but
the general belief is that they were not
married. 1t is supposed that quarrel over
financial affairs was the chief cause of the
tragedy.
They lived upstairs over a grocery store
which Mrs. Smith conducted. The neigh
bors were aroused at 1 o'clock by number
of pistol shots. The police entered the
front door, and encountered the dead body
OF Thomas Smith, who received the wound
probably Upstairs, and succeeded in reach
ing the lower landing before falling. He
was the eldest of the children, of whom
there were five.
Mrs. Smith was found in bed The in-
dications were that she was shot while
asleep.
ALI the children sleptin the attic. Willie,
aged II, and Augustus, aged Z, slept to-
gether. The former was shot through the
body. The wound Will probably prove
fatal. Augustus was shot in the mouth.
Recovery is possible Charles, aged 8, was
slightly wounded. He was in bed with
Mabel, year younger.
Rosenberg jumped from a window after
accomplishing his bloody work, and it was
presumed for time he bad escaped, but
his dead body was shortly afterward found
500 feet from the scene. There was no
wound, and from the froth at the mouth 1t
is supposed he either died in fit or by
poison.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 13th.-Accompany.
ing the troup of native Samoans, who ar
rived here to-day, is man named Howard
Hahn, who acts as interpreter for the
natives.
Hahn has remarkable history He is a
native of Switzerland, but left that country
In 1868 tor the United States, where he en-
listed in the Union army and fought
through the war, retiring with a good
record and a commission of Captain.
After the war Hahn came to California
and worked for about two years in the
mines.
He then visited San Francisco, intending
to return to his native land. One evening,
while walking along one of the streets, the
name of which he never knew, he entered
a saloon where music and barmaids were
the main features. He was then drugged.
and when he came TO he found that he mad
been shaughaied aboard the trading
schooner William Clifford, bound for the
Marquese islands.
While at the islands he escaped to the
shore. He was captured by the natives,
who were cannibals, but managed to es-
cape death by performing acrobatic feats
for their pleasure.
He remained with the islanders for three
years and then escaped On a trading vessel
and was taken to Tahiti. After staying
there for one year and a half he went to
the Samoan islands, where he has resided
Tor the past seventeen years, carrying on a
small trading business.
During that time he won the friendship
OF the natives and has always lived among
them.
This is the first time he has been at San
Francisco since his sudden departure on
the trading vessel in the sixties. Hahn
will travel with the Samoan troupe and
expects to again visit his birthplace.

Troupe of Native South Sea Islanders in
San Francisco.
SAN Francisco July 13th-The Oceanic
Steamship Company's steamer Umatilla
arrived from Honolulu this morning.
Among the passengers on board the vessel
were nine Samoan natives, who come to
this country under contract with r. A.
Cunningham, who proposes TO take them
all over the world
The natives are all stalwart and athletic
young men, and will give nightly exhibit
tons OF the various customs of their island
home. The entertainments will consist
principally of the war dances and songs of
the Samoan race, and promise TO be very
interesting The natives are very fond of
blonde hair, and it has become custom
among them to bleach their hair by burn
ing it with lime. Cold weather kept them
below decks the greater part of the trip
after leaving Honolulu, and when they did
come on deck upon the arrival of the
steamer this morning they were made the
subject of considerable comment and Curl
osity.
Their dark features and light blonde hair
was something rarely seen, and many were
unable to account for this singular ap
pearance.
Mr.. Cunningham, who brought the
natives here. is the gentleman who, several
years ago, took the Australian boomerang
throwers y around the world

UNHAPPY IRELAND.
A New Order Coming to the Front il
Old Erin-Home Rule.

Old Erin-Home Rule.
LONDON. July 13th.-The new Irish Ten
ants Defense League is the leading topic of
conversation in political circles. The Irish
members of Parliament have not had
much TO say about it, They are doing
plenty of thinking, and plenty of sound
and Iudlcious work is on foot in connec-
ton with the new organization, but they
are not wasting words or informing their
foes of the details of their scheme. They
declare that the league is founded on per.
fectly legal and constitutional principles
and that it will not supersede the National
League, but will supplant it and will carry
forward the gradual work of reform of the
relations between tenant and landlord in a
more moderate and well-advised manner
than has ever before been possible.
A SECRET LEAGUE
Beyond this affirmation concerning the
high character of the association, the Irish
leaders decline to communicate anything
concerning the league. The meeting next
Monday will be private Mr.. Sexton. in
preparing draft OF the constitution, took
high legal advice with view to keeping
the new league strictly within the limits of
law. The desire of the members is to do
this, and in the face of the rabid hostility
OF the Government and Tory press it was
important to avoid even possible ambigui-
ties or chance defects of phrasing which
might give the enemies of Ireland an op-
portunlty for Misrepresentation.
PARNELL TO BE PRESIDENT.
The greatest importance is attached to
Mr.. Parnell's unequivocal support of the
new movement. The fact that he is to be
President of the Tenants Defense League.
according TO current report and that Mr..
Gladstone and Mr.. Morley cordially in
dorse the movement have given it at the
start hold upon the attention of the Brit
ish public which it would not otherwise
have had so early in its career. Members
OF the Government and the Tory press are
unanimous in universally attributing the
new movement TO the failure of the plan
of campaign. These people are so blinded
by their anti-Irish prejudices that they are
Incapable OF even perceiving, much less APP
preciaung, the astonishing advance which
has been made lately in the attitude and
policy of Ireland.
A CONSTITUTIONAL BATTLE.
This is due to the high character of the
men who are now her leaders, the temper
ate methods of their procedure, the assist
ance of great English statesmen, and the
general recognition that they are now fight
ing legitimate constitutional battle, with
the recognition and countenance of the
English public. The plan of campaign has
been marked success, and its success has
formed the basis for this newer and better
policy which is directly due to the position
assumed by the landlords as the immediate
result of the successful operation of the
plan of campaign. Nothing since the fail
ure of the Times case against Mr.. Parnell
has done SO much to raise him and his
party in the eyes of the British public.

WASHINGTON, July 13th.-Concerning the
report that he had made an order reducing
the rate on Government messages from one
cent to one mill per word, the Postmaster
General says he had suggested this rate,
and some of the companies objected to
them. He bad written letter which
stated among other things, desire to say
the rate proposed was fixed upon lnforma-
ton furnished to this Department that
your company had been making rates to
various large corporations that are in some
instances as low as the figure now proposed
for Government service. With notice of
this fact l would not be justified in making
for the Government new contract at
higher rates than were charged other
patrons, especially so in view of the
privileges and benefits extended your COM
pany by Acts of Congress. l submit to
your sense of right that the Government is
entitled to minimum rates."

axiom familiar to every well-instructed Of
ficer in Europe that the key to Egypt is
khartoum. There can be no permanent
peace until England holds Khartoum.
England might have done this over and
over again. Mehemet Ali captured Khar-
toum with Egyptian soldiers and the
Egyptian army has time and again marched
from Suakin to Gerber in the face of the
enemy. Hicks Pashs did this with Egyp-
tians, and Stevenson and Mcpherson
wanted to do so with British or Indian
troops, but they were prevented from
rescuing General Gordon by orders from
home.
There is not to-day British commander.
whether it be the Duke of Cambridge,
Woolseley, Sir Frederick Roberts, Sir
Archibald Allison, Sir Evelyn Wood, Sir
Girard Graham, the Duke of Connaught.
Generals Stephenson, or any other general
officer able to draw a saber, who would not
turn scarlet with shame to confess that
these cafe au lait Egyptians could go where
Britons dare not tread.
MUST BE READY FOR WAR.
This fact, nevertheless, must go down in
history. Diplomacy says if England wishes
to remain in Egypt she must always be
ready to take little war out of her waist
coat pocket and show the world al large
aud France in particular that her presence
in Egypt is necessary TO protect the Euro
pean community there and AS a safeguard
for humanity and civilization. Humanity
and civilization are words that have been
pretty well exploited II England has the
courage of opinions, then let her capture
khartoum and rule Egypt and North
Africa as she does India, or else let her get
out of it altogether. Let the Egyptians
stew in their own juice, let France, Russia
or Italy have their little game in Egypt,
but at least don't let England be the dog in
the manager.

not Pressed for Food.
WASHINGTON, July 13th.-The mail
brought to San Francisco ten days ago from
Admiral Kimberly, at Samoa, has just
reached the Navy Department. 1t bears
date of June 10th. In his report the Adj
miral says that although the natives were
hard pressed for food. they have COM
menced planting, and as food fruits will
soon be ripe, the danger of famine is
passed.
All the guns and gun carriages of the
Trenton and Vandalia, except one nine
inch gun belonging to the latter, which
cannot be found, have been recovered and
placed on the shore at Apia. There is
nothing of any real value to the Govern
ment left on either ship except the ma
chinery.

LYONS, Commander of the Nipsic, was re-
ceiyed. The Nipsic was at Tanning
Island waiting for coal, which had been
purchased at Honolulu by Commander
Green of the Alert, and was to be delivered
at Tanning Island July 18th. The passage
of the Nipsic from Apia to Tanning Island,
while uneventful, was made with some
difficulty, as the keel was lost in hurri-
cane and she would go of leeward in the
wind.

Colored Congressman Hold the Balance
of Power, and VIII Use 1t.
WASHINGTON, July 13th.-North Carolina
politicians are talking of scheme which,
if carried out, will affect the control of the
next Congress. Congressman Brewer has
already been announced as a candidate for
the Speakership, and it is said he will re-
fuse to go into the Republican caucus and
will be supported in his refusal by the new
colored Republican member from his own
State, a white Republican from Tennessee,
and the white Republican from Louisiana.
They will stay out of the caucus, the poll
ticians say, because they are profoundly dis
satisfied with the treatment they have re-
ceived from President Harrison.
If these four Republicans should bolt, it
would enable them TO make their own
terms before they permitted the election of
a Republican Speaker. The contemplation
of such complication will make the Re-
pubieans more than ever eager to capture
every member from the four new States.
