PROCLAIMED A REBEL.
The Lands or Mataafa and All His Samoan Chiefs COnfiscated-Res esig- nation of Baran vOn Pilsafch.

nation of Baran von Pilsafch.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29.-Advices from Apia, Samoa, dated October 15, state that Baron von Pilsaich, president of the mu nicipal council and adviser to King Malie- toa, has resigned. The reason he assigns is that certain white residents of Samoa have been writing letters to the king about Germany. Pilsaicn claimed that no one should either write or speak to King Ma lietoa before first securing the presidents permission, thereby actually assuming the position of dictator to the islands. Before he resigned memorial had been prepared by the consuls of the three treaty powers petitioning the three governments for the recall of Baron Pilsaich on account of in experience and reckless behavior in ofice The memorial is also signed by Robert Louis Stevenson and by all the residents of Apia except some Ger mans. The baron intimated to the consuls that he would hand over the funds in his charge to them, but afterward decided that he had no power under the treaty to do so, although he had drawn six thousand dol ITS from them in the form of duties col lected by them before the arrival of the president. Shortly before he resigned Baron Pilsaich stated that he intended to hand over the archives of the municipality and funds to Mir. Weber, manager of Ger man trading firm, who had been appointed president pro tempore. The consuls, how ever, contended that while he remained in the country he could under the treaty rele- gate his powers to others. He afterward requested permission to withdraw his res ignation, but the king told him it was out of his power and must go to the treaty powers. It is contended that the baron is incapable of filling the position; that the position should not be filled at all and that the taxpayers should be allowed to elect mayor and allow him 8 small salary. While the total revenue collected by the government was but $20, GOO, the expenditures to October 1 to over | $22, ,000 for salaries for officials under the Berlin treaty with many items for which no provision has been made.
 | Mataafa has at last been proclaimed g rebel, and all chiefs who are supporting | him have had their lands confscated. Ev- l erybody is forbidden to assist them in any 1 way. The American consul has been in | structed by his government to inform Ma l taLfa that the government was annoyed al | the latter's attitude, and that he should al | once break up the party at Malie. There are only about 300 in the party, but it ii stated that half the population are against
 the Mulinuu government, chiefly because
 of it's inaction.
 The attitude of the natives in the Sa
 moa group has changed toward the whites
 in the last few months, much of th'
 former friendliness having died out. Thii

 the Fatalities Still Unknown.
 YOKOHAMA, Oct. 29.-There have been terrific earthquakes along the southern coast of Nipon '(Hondo) the principal isl- and of Japan. The shocks were most Be- verely felt at Osaka and at Kobe, where most of the foreign merchants, etc., of the Port of Hiogo have their homes. The shocks traversed the island in westerly direction along the shores of the bay of Osaka, at the head of which Hiogo is situ- ated. These two suburbs of Hiogo (Osaka and Kiobe) which are connected by rail- road, and whose houses are mostly lightly built have suffered considerable damage. Hundreds of houses have been destroyed, but the extent of the fatalities is still un- known and may remain so for some time l to come, owing to the destruction of the l telegraph lines. There has been consider. able damage done along the coast.

FEELING IN LONDON,

LONDON, Oct. 29.-The greatest ferment
 exists in the South American trade over
 the news from South America. The gen.
 eral impression is that Chili will fight and
 that the United States is now in a position where it must fight or retreat in dishonor. No person of responsibility has yet been found who doubts that America will come out foremost in the end, but the general impression is that Chili will have for the present a decided advantage. The senti- ment of the mercantile houses trading with Chili is strongly against war, and the l nitrate interests are also opposed to it, on | the ground that war might result in the United States through an arrangement
 with Peru, getting control of the nitrate deposits, also that a successful war would
 have the effect of raising American pres tige in South America to the detriment of | England.

 Action of the State Department.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-It was nearly noon before the cipher cablegram received from Minister Egan this morning by the state department was translated and laid before the president. An hour afterward Secretary Blaine and Secretary Tracy were summoned to the White house. They promptly responded to the presidents summons. Secretary Tracy stayed an hour at the White house and then returned to the navy department, but had not been there long before he was recalled. These movements gave rise to all kinds of specu- lation as to the nature of MT. Egan's dis patch and the intentions of the govern ment. When Secretary Tracy again emerged from the White house he refused to make any statement, on the ground that the department of state had the matter in charge. Secretary Blaine appeared to be in good spirits when he came out of the White house and stepped into his carriage to go home. He had nothing to say then about MT. Egan's message. Soon after o'clock the following official statement was made public:
 The department of state received this morning telegram from Minister Egan, dated Santiago. October 2S, in which he gives the following as the reply of the Chilian government 10 the presidents tel egram of October 23, asking reparation for the recent murder of American sailors in the streets of Valparaiso:
 THE JUNTA's REPLY.
 Minister foreign affairs replies that the government of the United States form ulates demands and advances threats that, without being cast back with acrimony, are not acceptable, nor could they be ac cepted in the present case or in any other of like nature. He does not doubt the sincerity, rectitude or expertness of inves- tigation on board the Baltimore, but will recognize only the jurisdiction and authority of his own coun- guilty in Chilian territory He says the administrative aud judicial authorities havs been Investigating the affair; that judicial investigation under Chilian law is secret and that the time is not yet arrived to make known the result; when that time arrived, will communicate result, although he does not recognize anyother authority competent to judge criminal cases than that established by the Chilian people. Until the time arrives to disclose the re- suit of the investigation he cannot admit that the disorders in Valparaiso or the si- lence of his department should appear as an expression of unfriendliness towards the government of the United States which might peril the friendly relations between the two countries.

is impossible for him, with tho time at
his disposal, to see everything, or even
all that he would like to 500. The am
bilious buildings will attract his eye,
and the others will he consigned more
or less reluctantly to neglect.
To us the question Of coalition seems
largely II of expense. The people of
Montana, like those of every state in
the union, are wise enough to see in the
exposition the chance of the century for
advertising the resources OF their state.
We are convinced that in Montana CAPT
tai can find n vastly profitable field for
investment, and we know that the pos
sibilities OF the state are still in their
infancy. But we are not content with
knowing it. We want outsiders to know
it, and tho resulting advantages will be-
both theirs and ours. Chicago gives us
the opportunity, and we are keenly
anxious to make the most of it. Under
these circumstances, we believe that it
would be a great mistake to merge our
individuality in those Of other states, if
it can possibly be avoided. Montana
alone is far more emphatic than Mon
tana, a single member Of a group. A
Montana building will attract more at
@tention to Montana than any coalition
building scheme could possibly do. Ex-
pense, of course, must cut a large figure
in any sound decision on such a matter
as this, but it ought to be within the
limits of Montanian ingenuity to devise
some building SO unique as to compel
attraction, ever though its cost does not
rival that of the Eitfel tower. II our
appropriation ties us down to an
erection that we should not care to pho
tograph, and if the combined ingenuity
Of our citizens cannot atone for the brew
ity of our purse, coalition is probably
our only resource. But, if We are to
reap the advantages the exposition
should bring us in its train, the state Of
Montana should have an exposition
building of it's own.

houses for women, and seems likely to
succeed. They will be run, not on a
philanthropic but on a purely business
basis. For from 10 to 80 cents a woman
can obtain in one Of them a decent and
private lodging for the night, and for
ten cents more can get her breakfast in
the morning. The plan should com
mand success. Decent surroundings
are a grand help to morality.
