whom 1t became known that che ex paymas-
ter in the United States army who had been
sent TO the Navigator Islands by President
Grant had set up government there. For
year or more the newspapers teemed with
bis stormy reign, aud the question became
an international one. Col. SteinberRer had
gone to the islands, making half the trip In
the United States mausof-war Pensacola,
and the other half In the Tuscarora. These
islanders, unprotected aud prey to every
nation on the eaath, welcomed him as their
deliverer
II gave them ssid Col. Steinberger, "the
, only government they ever had. take no
special credit to myself, but l was the alb
solute head. ! organized the parliament
which exists to-day, consisting OF the Tai-
moua, or upper house, aud the Taipuli, or
lower house. left them happy and have
been the sufferer"
Turmoil over religion, which has cost
many a king his crown, and his head as
well, brought about the downfall of this
American king. The native Catholics and
the native Protestants went to war. There
was bitter conflict in Tutiln Island, where
the Catholic missionaries held sway. The
village of Assua was destroyed, together
with the Catholic church and schools. To
the king went Mgr. Alloy, the head Of the
Catholic mission, aud told his story. "What
will You dos" he asked.
RRPRTsALs BY sANoA's NAVY.
In reply Col. SteiDberger mounted how
itaer In the bow Of his yacht and steamed TO
where Assua had stood. The town was re.
built, but the mischief had been done En-
emies went TO the Fl il Islands and asked the
British governor to send his men-of- war to
Samoa. They came, the barracuda and
Sapphire.
At night Col. Steinberger's house was sur.
rounded. He was captured and carried on
board the barracuda. The little kingdom
Of the temporary king rang with call to
arms. Natives swarmed down on the Brit
ish. At the capitol, mile below Apia,
there was a fight.
And the islanders whipped them, toe"
said Col. Steinberger with chuckle.
Then of to Til steamed the Barracuda.
When the islands were reached the king
asked where he was to be taken.
TO Auckland, New Zealand, for trial N
was the answer of Capt Stephens Of the
barracuda.
Then Capt. Stephens rowed ashore to see
Sir Arthur Gordon, the governor. He came
back at 10 O'Clock and King Steinberger
was asleep in his stateroom. The captain
knocked. The prisoner looked out, and the
armed guard which had been with him day
and night had been withdrawn.
Are you ready to go ashorep asked the
captain. indicating that the king was free.
II insist on going either back to Samoa or
to New Zealand for trial." was the ans wer.
He was taken ashore by force. His reign
was ended. He never saw Samoa again, and
Maliatoa and Mataafa later warred It out.
BY way OF Australia the ex-king went to
England, where he says he bad the pleasure
of seeing Capt. Stephens court-martialled.
Then he became O wanderer on the face of
the earth.

Ex.KING sTEINBERGBR.
once Rich, He Is Now Penniless and
In Need

In Need.
From the NsU YoYt Rerold.
On Broadway yesterday you mghu have
jostled 1.-THE Man Who Was King" In
reality.
He came to town a few days ago, and
although his clothes are seedy, and b hasn't
a cent In his pocket. and hotel clerks look
askance at him az he PAGES the corridors, he
is disorowned king nevertheless, and the
history of his rise and fall is as wild story
as that which KiplinV conjured up through
the witchery OF his pen.
Col. Albert B. Steinberger is 'sthe man
who was" in reality. He is the man who
ruled the Samoan Islands, who gave them
the name samoan" il you please, aud
changed geography, and who was lion
hearted enough TO have given battle with
bis one howitzer yacht Peerlesslto the British
rnan-of-war Barrancouta il the English
had ouly showed him chance. Proud as
Lucifer, courteous as Chesterfield, interest.
ing as Sir Walter Raleigh must have been
when he spun stories of adventures West
ward Ho," the marches Of this soldier OF
fortune have been through profitless fields
of late.
Strange are the meetings which
now and then take place. None
was stranger than that in
the Gilsey house night or two ago. Robert
Fulford was talking to some gentlemen
when a little man with worn attire, swarthy
skin and brilliant eyes came up. He
spoke with one Of the group, who turned
and said:
Gentlemen, this is the man who was King
OF the Samoan Islands"
In an instant Mr. Fulford and his new
conner recognized each other aud looked
back fifteen years and across half as many
thousand miles of land and sea. Mr.. Fui-
ford had seen him while stopping at the
Navigation Islands on bis way to Australia
10 1876. The little man then was between
guards armed with muskets loaded with
ball cartridges on the deck of one Of her
ma1esty's men-of-war. The guard were
under instructions TO shoot to kill at the
FIRST attempt at rescue or escape. They
would have done it, although they would
have killed king.
WILL NEVER BE KING AGAIN.
Col. Steinberger Is probably the only
American citizen who ever became king.
When he told me his story yesterday he
said that he never expected to become
king again, but he does expect TO get on his
feet again financially and stand where he
did once before in the business world Of this
city, when be lived on Fifth avonne and
figured that his wealth was well up toward
the $1,000 900 mark.
All the world remembers the sensation

Treasure Turned Up from River Is

From the Philadelphia Record.


Bror. the PHILADELPHIA Record
In the huge bucket of mud dug out Of the
lower and Windmill Islands by the dredgers'
endless chain scoops there have come to the
surface quarts Of silver coins, whose dates
indicate their coinage long time prior to
the revolution. A popularity Of the coins are
that some are very large, even of greater
diameter than trade dollar, while others
are smaller than any denomination now In
circulation, almost the size OF the widows
mite.
Several days ago the captain in charge Of
one Of the scows noticed what he thought to
bright, shining dollars dropping from the
scoops into tho scows and called the atten-
ton Of the engineer Of the dredging ma
chine. declaring that they were bringing up
gold and silver. The engineers reply was
that either the captains eyesight was de-
fectiVe or that be was demented.
A HALF-PEoK OF COINS.
After the days work had been completed
the scow's master went down in the hold Of

collected over $50 coins of all denomina-
tions and sizes, and could have recovered as

Instead of using a whole egg to clear
coffee, save the shells from cake, omeletes,

cup with the shell and the white that al

well.
