Samoan MATTERS.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 7.-Advices from
Samoa by the steamship Alameda state that
United States Consul-General Sewal ar
rived May 10 and was given an exceedingly
warm greeting by the natives and other
residents of the island. May was OBJ
served by order of King Malietoa as thanks
giving day and services were held at the
various missions. The day was to com
memorate the peace established through
the exertions of the three great powers.
Chief Olo will be tried for treason for
stating that Mataafa was The real King
of Samoa, and that letter from the
pwers, in which they appointed him,
had been suppressed. When Olo was
Mataafa wrote a peremp-
tory note to Malietoa demanding Olo's re-
lease. There was considerable friction
over this, but the American consul pointed
out to Mataafa that he had no right to ad-
dress Malietoa in such a fashion Tama-
ses' representatives areEstrong Ii support
of Malietoa and are doing what they can
TO assist the government.

4 DRAMATIC DEATH.
A Woman in Park City Takes
Strychnine
IN THE PALACE RESTAURANT.
Girl to Drink of the Deadly Potion
Her Wrecked Life.

PARK CRY, June Z, 1S9O.-[Special tele-
gram to THE HERALD. Maggie Thompson,
a keeper of a house of i'll fame, ended her
existence here last night about IL o'clock
in very dramatic way. Two bottles of
strychnine in half tumbler of water did
the work and soon put an end to the life of
the poor unfortunate" About a quarter
to y o'clock she entered the Palace restau-
rant with her little child and ordered the
waiter to bring her some oysters. While
the oysters were being prepared she asked
for corkscrew, which was given to her
The waiter returned in few minutes and
saw her trying to give the contents to her
little child, who stubbornly refused. ''Mag,"
as she is commonly known, told the waiter
the child had bad cough and that the mix
ture was cough medicine, and when the
child continued to refuse it, she arose, held
the glass aloft, as though offering toast,
shook it gently to mix the contents, and
then drank it. She raised the glass again
as before and then dashed it to the
floor. She told the waiter she had taken
strychnine, but wanted to pay her debts
before she died. She paid for the oysters
and sat down and ate them. A doctor was
sent for, but before he arrived she was
dead. Before dying she reproved her little
one for not drinking the poison with her,
and repeatedly called to her, ''Oh, why
didn't you take it too!" Before losing con-
seriousness she arranged for the disposition
of the child, who is about four years of
ace She was compelled this week IN oive
up her house on account of non payment of
rent, and it is thought that this, working
ing on her mind already weakened by the
wild life sac had led, urged her to commit
the rash act

the cost of freight transportation at great
length, and says:

length. ana says:
Rebates before the act and very much
lower rates frequently put in force since,
fairly lead to the conclusion that the exist
ing corn and grain rates are so high as to
encourage frequent and hurtful changes
and make reductions expedient and profit
able to the roads, which are never nee
essary to secure business. We, too,
are constrained by all the facts to
believe that any rate or greater
charge from the Missouri river than IL
cents to Chicago and 10 cents to the Miss
1ssippi, east side, is excessive and that the
rates should be so reduced and adjusted,
and reduction of cents should be made
IN Nebraska and Kansas"
The commission says the rates on grain
from Kansas and Texas points are unrea-
grossly excessive and exortitant for
shorter and should be reduced. Wheat and
flour should bear the same rate, which
should not be more than 10 per cent. above
the rates on corn and oats. The rates on
all grain other than wheat should pay the
same rates as corn. Grain rates from the
Dallotas and Minnesota should be moder
ated and adjusted.
Inc commission renews the recommen-
cations OF the annual reports of 1SSS-S9,
that the third section of the act be so
amended as to make provision for through
carriage at through rates over connecting
lines.
Secretary Noble to-day received tele-
gram stating that Kelsey, the agent at
Green Bay, Wisconsin, agency, had taken
charge of the Office and no further trouble
was anticipated.

A DOUBLE LIFE.
Partisan Clerk Robs His Employer and
Entertains Set of Very Fast Friends.

Entertains Set of Very Fast Friends.
Especial to THE HERALp-Examiner Dispatch
New York, June THE Morning Journal
says that on La Bourgogne which arrived
the other day with detectives who were
sent after Eyraud, the stranger, was an
other Hawkshaw who came on quite
another mission. This detective for the
past two months has been keeping sharp
lookout at different European capitals for
young man who for years was a trusted
clerk of one of Paris prominent money
lenders. This young man led double life.
At the Office of his employer at which he
appeared every morning promptly at s
o'clock, he would be as meek and humble
as Uriah Heep. He displayed no signs of
being in love with any of the gay side of
life. In consequence he transacted all the
important missions of the money lender.
When any titled ladies sent a note that they
wished TO raise few hundred francs on
an article of iewelry or good paper, Pierre
Legendre took the coin to the ladies. But
there was another side to Pierre. In the
afternoon when his duties were done he
would go few miles down the Seine and
there would have rollicking time. He
kept river yacht and gave entertain
ments which might have done credit to
millionaire. He invited to his fetes all the
FAST people, male and female, which he
knew and his name and fame were great
in riverside restaurants along the Seine
from Asnieres even to as far as Rouen.
He told his companions his wealth was al
most inexhaustible. But everything must
have an end. The stories of his clerks
festivities came to the ears of his en-
ployer and one day he toldPierre heproposed
to examine the books. Pierre walked out
of the door and that is the last that has
been seen of him in Paris. The books
show that the young man stole over hun
bred and twenty thousand dol.ara and the
robberies extended over several months.
The gay youth is now believed to be in
America and the detectives hopes are be-
ing stimulated by a big reward to catch him.

shock which knocked him senseless. He
was restored to consciousness after some
labor. Frasier was terribly burned.

THE HARVARD VANDALS.
Their Names are Known to the University Au-

Boston, June 1T is very probable that
before another day ends several Harvard
students will receive notification that their
presence is no longer desired by the univer-
sity authorities. For two days it has been
rumored that the names of the men who
besmirched John Harvard's statue with
red paint were known to the faculty. Last
night all Cambridge was agog with the
news that two detectives had been work
ing up,the case since Tuesday evening last.
From the detectives it is learned that the
perpetrators of the outrage were not fresh
men, as has been generally supposed, but
seniors; and from the same source comes
the story that the names OF the decorators
are known to at least ten students Of the
upper classes
