A slender yctsug man. with Jewish
cast Of countepance. stepped up to the
Palace hotel register and signed him
self Samuel Hxrris. Tahiti says the
San Francisco Report. He ~ IN Amer
lean, and was bosu and rcured in this
city, Though his home il IN she Per-
modus islands, In the Society group.
He is only 23 years of age.
Harris was educnted in the grammar
schools Of San Francisco. and on being
graduated went to work at one thing
and another without much success.
Finally he saved few hundred dol
lars and went to- Tahiti A variety Of
misfortunes left him penniless there.
On one occasion the boat was capsized
and on another he was thrown ashore
and lost his goods i'm the surf. Trad
ing was fatty failure with him. aud
he told his friends so. This was near
ly four and half years ago. Pres
emily he sunk out of sight and the peo-
pie who knew him in Tahiti saw him
NO more for two years. When they
saw him again he was ON the high road
to prosperity.
When he went away from Tahiti he
took passage to the Permodus islands.
Most of the natives there were canni-
bals-at least they had that reputation.
He settled on the islands, which are
celebrated as the chief pearl fisheries
Of the south seas, and made friends
with one of the principal chiefs. An
American of experience such as that of
Harris could not fail to become soon a
power in the islands. In year after
he had gone to live there he had in
duced the head chief to take him into
partnership in the pearl fishery profits.
Then he began to make his trips regu-
larly to Otals,ite to dispose of his
pearls. which he did at prices that sat
istied the chief that he had q treasure
for partner.
Life on the savage reefs Of the Per-
savage life of the Tahitians, was pleas
ant enough for a while. but year ago
Harris grew weary of the existence
and sighed for a change. The chief
would not consent to his departure,
however, and Harris has been for
twelve months trying TO induce the
old fellow to let him 90. But the
chief knew what good thing was
when he had it. Harris. however,
determined to pay visit to San Fran
cisco despite the chief. and at last the
eX-cannibal consented to let the part
nership continue even if Harris should
remain away six months.
In the meantime the chiefs fame has
been waning, and Harris is known all
through the south seas as the pearl
king. and most of the traders there
think he is the chief of the islands, as
the real chief has the astuteness to stay
in the background and let Harris con-
duct his business for him. When Har-
ris left the islands to take ship for San
Francisco he was attended part of the
way by quite an escort of boats.
Mr.. Harris intends to spend some of
his time here. and then go east for
awhile. He landed on the islands
practically penniless, and now. by
means of not neglecting his own bust
ness while looking after the chiefs. he
is worth large fortune.

Caught d Lion For $40.

Forepaugh's travelling circus and
menagerie had been ditched. by rail-
road accident on road in Tennessee.
and one of the lions had escaped from
his broken cage and sought shelter in
log COW pen near at hand. Our train
was following the circus and had come
to stop, and most of the passengers
went forward to lend the showmen a
helping hand. The lion was the only
animal which got away. and the men
were calling for.nets and ropes and
volunteers when a lanky. angular ma

year and who was riding a mule even
more homely than himself, reached the

came out leading the beast and saying:

One of the show-men told me that he
wouldn't have gone into the shed after
the beast if reward of 81. ZOO had been
offered for so doing. The manager
gave the native $40 bill for his pluck.

Stopping a Train to Kiss Her Boy
A train in Georgia was lately hello
up by lone woman. 1t had got about
200 yards from station, when negro
woman was seen running frantically
after it. The conductor saw her, pulled
the bell, and the train came to a stop.
A colored brakeman stood on the steps
aud reached his hand out to help the
woman on. But she ran on by. and a
negro boy hung himself out of the
window and kissed her. The conductor
was naturally little wrathy, and told
her so. She told him that her boy was
going of, and they didn't give her
time to tell him good-by, and she had
to do it if she would have to follow the
train ten miles.

FAST BREAKING UP.

Heavy Seas Pounding the Tug Triana
 to Pfeces-Fhe GalIatin Unable to
 Land Her Stores for the Shfpvyreek-
 ed Sailors.
 NEW BEDFORD, Mass, March 16.-Rev- enue cutter Dexter arrived in port to-day with the crew of the wrecked tug Triana, who landed and took the afternoon train for Newport The Triana, when the crew embarked aboard the Dexter, was fast breaking up in the heavy seas rolling in from the southwest.
 The bow of the vessel had settled over the edge of the ledge and the seas were making sad havoc with her house on deck and pieces were breaking from it and drift ing ashore. The gale was increasing and no doubt the tug would be a total wreck as an examination early this morning showed that the bottom had a hole from stem to stern. Cutter Gallatin arrived in port to day havin g come from Vineyard Haven via Gay Head. The Gallatin found it impossible to land her stores for the shipwrecked sailors at the headland and so she went around to take look at the wrecks. The sea was terribly rough and the cutter went in shore as far as she dared and saw that the waves were making clean sweep over the Galena and tug Nina, which looked as if it had washed further up on the beach. The waves were banging into the steamers, and the Gallatin people think if the gale in creases the Galena will go to pieces in a few hours. The Gallatin to night went to Edgartown to wait until the gale shall sub side, and then an attempt will be made to get to Gay Head with provisions. The Dexter was to leave port at s o'clock to- night, but she will not leave now until morning

AND RECIPROCITY,

| The Canadian Government Being Urged to Have Troops Stationed in the Dominion-The Spanish Cabi-
 nets Project Of Reciprocity.
 TORONTO, Ont, March 16.-It is under
 stood that the government has been con-
 sidering what it should with such men as
 Edward Farrer. A firm of Toronto solici-
 tors have been at work Investigating his conduct, and some weeks ago they advised
 the government that he came well within the law relating to high treason. As the law now is, it is said, there would be no difficulty in securing his conviction on a charge of his treason. Whether the gov ernment will go this far is yet to be decided. The report says that if the authorities do move they will probably move against some others who are members of parliament Any punish ment that may be melted out to them will be of the nature of banishment rather than of confinement. It is also said that the government is being urged to ask Lord Salisbury to station in Canada from five to ten British regiments quartering them in Halifax, Quebec, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver. It is argued that the presence of these regiments in Canada would do more to put down the annexationists and put check to their conspiracy than anything else could do.
 PARIS, March 16.-The Temps to-day publishes dispatch from its Madrid cor respondent saying that the Spanish cabin cts project of reciprocity with the United States contemplates admitting into the Spanish Antilles United States industrial and agricultural products at lower rates than those of any other nation, in ex- change of the admittance into the United States free of duty sugar and molasses from the Antilles. A lower tariff on the tobaccos imported from the same islands into the United States is also asked for in return for the privileges Spain proposes to grant. The text of the proposals, accord ing to the Temps correspondent, is kept secret for fear of the resistance which its publication would bring about upon the part of protectionists.
 WASHINGTON, D. O., March 16.-The state department is informed that the rumors that the Brazilian government does not intend to carry out the recent reel procity agreement with the United States, are discredited by the action of the au- thorities at Rio de Janeiro in issuing in structions to the officials throughout the country concerning the free admission of merchandise from the United States. The newspapers of Para, dated February 13, contain an official announcement of the new rates fixed by the agreement directed to the governor of Para by the general gov ernment.
