Egan Heard From.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-The depart
ment of state telegraphed to Minister
Egan on Sept. that if a government
had been formed by the congressional
party which was acceptable to the peo-
pie, he should recognize it and open
communication with its head. The de-
partment has received telegram from
Mr.. Egan in answer to the above stat

samoans slaves to Germans.

New YoRr, Sept. 9,-The Worlds
correspondent at Apia, Samoa, declares
that the German land owners ON the
islands are holding many natives in
slavery. The Germans obtained the land
years AGO by getting the natives drunk
and making one-sided bargains with
them in exchange for. whisky. This ex-
plains the present antipathy of the ma
tives. The land owners then employed
natives noninally laborers, but really
on contracts which have resulted in
their virtual enslavement. The condition
of the unfortunate Samoans, says the
correspondent, is rapidly growing worse.

MADISON, Wis, Sept. 0. - Clarence

control. has received telegram stating
that scarlet fever has broken out in the
state school at Sparta. There are fifty
cases of mild form. The school house
had been turned into hospital, and the
teachers had donned the garb of nurses.
All the medical assistance available went
to work with viii and they are hold
ing the epidemic in control. MIR. Snyder
has gone to Sparta to personally super
wise the institution.
Expect Twenty More Cases.
SPARTA, Wis, Sept. AT the state
public school here forty well developed
eases of scarlet fever are reported and it
is expected there will be no less than
sixty children down with the disease
very soon. The hospital rooms of the
school building are overfowing and the
prospect is that the whole institution
will become nothing but one big hos
pital. Strict quarantine has been estab-
ished by the local health authorities
over the buildings and grounds and it il
hoped thus to confine the epidemic to
the school. There are but two cases In
the city outside the state institution and
they are both in one family. What
could have caused such a great outbreak
in the school is being much discussed or
the streets here. 1t is reported that
child recently received from the north
western part of the state came dowr
with scarlet fever soon after its arrival
It was isolated as soon as the school au
thorities became aware what was th'
matter with it. but apparently too lat
to save its numerous companions. Ther'
are no fatalities among the children yet

PENSACOLA ordered to Honolulu.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Orders were
sent from the navy department
to the commander of the Pensacola
at San Francisco ordering him to sail
without delay to Honolulu. The Pen
sacola has been under sailing orders for
some time. The United States has not
been represented by man-of-war in the
Hawaiin islands for several months And
the state department has come to the
conclusion that this government has too
many interests in that locality to delay
longer In having the stars and stripes
absent from Hawaiin waters.

MADISON. SOUTH DAKOTA, "
NEW YORK REPUBLICANS.


u. Sloan Fassett the Most mentioned Man
for the Head of the Ticfset.
ROCHESTER,, NY, Sept. 9.-The sem
timent of the delegates who have thus
far arrived to attend the Republican
state convention seems to be in favor of
Hon. j. Sloan Fassett, collector of the
port of New York, as the candidate for
governor. Ex-senator Platt held con-
ference until midnight and there We're
few delegates of note who did not call
to pay their respects to him. There was
talk of nothing but Fassett. 1t seemed
to be the prevailing opinion that Fassett
was the coming man, and one might as
well have tried to change the course of
the tide as to stem the tide of popular
sentiment for New Tork's collector.
Mr. Platt, said however, to all inquiries
that he had not changed his opinion re-
garding the availability Of ex-Minister
Andrew d. White as candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination.
Gibbons Opinion.
Ex-senator Gibbons, whose opposition
to the leadership of Thomas c. Platt has
made him one of the best-known Repub-
licans in the state, was approached by a
United Press reporter on his arrival.
II am for Fassett," he said, because he
is good man and can be elected" And
then some one asked why it was that all
of Mr. Platt's old-time political enemies
were for Fassett. Mr.. Gibson replied
''The party is united and determined to
win. Mr.. Platt is unquestionably the
.eader of his party. say that from ex.
lerience. / think Mr.. Platt's only OBJ
ject is to secure the nomination of {

Cry OF MEXICO, Sept. 9.--The sensa-

reports. Mexico is no more likely, under
ordinary existing circumstances to be

lice department yesterday and today most Of
them went into effect.
The trial Of Lieut. James r. Boteler Of the
eighth precinct took place at headquarters in

published, was charged with intoxication on
the 9TH OF January. The result Of the trial will

The most surprising change was made at the
White House. Policemen Collins, Marks and
Cunningham. who have been detailed for duty
at the Executive Mansion Tor some time. were
ordered back to precinct duty and Officers
EllIs and Hollinberger of the first precinct
were sent in their places.
1t is thought that Officer Collins will be
placed on the retired list before long.
Policeman Pat Creagh of No. 1 was trans
ferred from that precinct TO No 6. This trans
fer was made at the officers request
The vacancy thus caused was filled by Officer
Parker. who was transferred from the second

The President rs now advised, will leave
Washington on Wednesday. April Is, on his Cali
fornia trip. The party that will accompany
him will be small, and will probably include
no ladies. Several members Of the cabinet
will be Of the party, including Secretary Tracy,
who will avail himself Of the opportunity az
forded by the trip to visit the Mare Island
navy yard and Union iron works at San Fran-
cisco. where several United States vessels are
now in course Of construction.
The itinerary of the trip is not as yet mapped
out, but the President will probably be away
in all about six weeks
Numerous letters Of inquiry as TO what
cities the President and party will pass
through are being daily received at the
Executive Mansion, but no replies can
be made, as the President himself has
not yet made mp his mind rs 60 the
exact route he will take. At first he was in
clined TO stop at several southern cities ON his
way TO California, but this part Of the original
program may be abandoned, a. he is urged TO
visit Oregon and Washington while out on the
Pacific coast, and he fears he may not have
time to tarry long in the south should he de-
eide TO go to the far northwest.
Secretary Tracy is anxious TO visit Puget
sound and inspect the new government navy
yard now being built there. and NAV prevail
upon the President. if there is not sufficient
time for both, TO curtail the time he originally
expected to spend in the south.
