AN OLD NAN FINDS SOME CIGARETTES But

the other day talking business with another diner
across the table. His coat hanging on the VAL
beside him. and he earnestly engaged in con
versatop that when the meal was ended and he was
ready TO smoke he reached mp his hand without looking
around and began to feel for the pocket Of his over

the limbs were severed the flesh being cut around
the oint and the bone twisted out OF the socket,
lust as the Somoans unjout pig. Old residents
here arc inclined 10 think this dodge 10 cast
suspicion ON the natives, for they say that no
one except u chief would dare 10 mutate corpse
in such Il manner, and he would do SO only when
infliriatcd and suffering from the greatest per
sonal injury. An ordinary native might, to re-
vcngc n great wrong, creep up behind n man. crush
his head with club and then run away; but he
would not stay long enough to attempt such cary
ing as was done in this instance. The lroquois
came back To Apia for few days, and then re-
turned 10 Pago PagO with the American Consul
General and lawyer 10 investigate the case
Two white men, with whom the murdered man
Was last seen, were arrested on suspicion OF com
pcity in the crime, but nothing could be ELECTED
to prove they had hand in it, and they were
discharged from custody. After remaining al
Pago Pago for a week the Iroquos returned TO
Apia not having accomplished anything in dis
covering the criminals. If the murder was com
mittcd by a white man reward will probably
bring out the facts in the case. If done by
native the facts will come out in the course
of time for they cannot keep n secret
On January II and |, two "Talolos" were
made 10y the natives to the Chief Justice, that
of January being the greatest one that has ever
been given in Samoa The "Talolo' is cere-
mony showing loyalty and goodwill to the person
whom it is intended TO honor, and consists IN
the bringing of presents OF food by different vii
lagos The first one was made by the people Of
Aana, the district at the west end of the island
Of Upou, several villages numbering about
200 men, participating. The second one was
made by the Faasaleleaga District, from the
Island Of Savaii, and the Atua District on the
east end of Upou. Under an awning placed on the
square in front Of the Kings house were seated
King Malietoa, the Chief Justice, the three Con-
suls, Lieutenant Ulfsparre and the wife of the
British Consul. Grouped about on all sides under
the cocoanut palms and orange and breadfruit
trees were crowds Of natives and whites, inter
cstcd spectators of the scene. At o'clock pc
culiar chanting and singing was heard at some
distance down the road, which gradually swelled
rs il approached nearer and nearer. Soon a solid
column of warriors were seen advancing at Il
measured pace, shouting a chorus and carrying
the presents of pigs, fowls taro and coc0anuts
