MATAAFA Is A REBEL.
SO DECLARED BY OFFICIAL PROC
LAMATION IN SAMOA.

Hawaii Discussing Reciprocity With the
United States-The Queens Health
Good, Despite Contrary Reports-News
From the Two Little Pacific Island
Kingdoms.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1S.-The steam
ship Australia arrived this evening seven
davs from Honolulu. Advice received at
the island, October %, are that the situa-
ton in Samoa was strained and that at
King Malietoa's request Fairpule, or Par
lament of the Kingdom, had agreed to is
sue a proclamation declaring Mataafa a
rebel. The President of the Council, in an
nouncing the Kings wish to the Fairpule,
is reported to have said, 'It is now the time
for the Government to be strong, and seize
Mataafa and prosecute him."
Hawaiian planters held a convention at
Honolulu, beginning October 26, and dis
cussed a number of important topics,
among them the foreign labor question and
the advisability of the extensive raising
of coffee and tea on the islands.
Ex-Attorney General Ashford published
an article October 80, in which he charges
the press of Honolulu with being afraid
to frankly discuss the situation arising out
of the changed conditions of reciprocity
Win the Oulbcu OtdICS pAouuCcu ny but
free sugar section of the Mckinley
bill. A Honolulu bulletin, commenting on
the letter, says: ''The United States does
not want to disturb our autonomy. Those
reported utterances of her public men in
favor of a protectorate are based on the
false light in which the Hawaiian situation
is presented by such writings as appear in
a Kaleo newspaper, and to which the Ash
ford letter bears close affinity. The rea-
sons for Hawaiian independence are as
strong to-day as they ever were"
The United States steamship Pensacola
is still at Honolulu. The United States
steamship had not arrived there when the
Australia left the islands.
Consul McKinley's advices from Homo
lulu, under date of November II, are to the
effect that the rumors regarding the ill
health of Queen Liliukolani. which have
appeared in American and English news
papers, are without any foundation, and re-
ceiyed no attention in Honolulu where the
facts are known. Advices state that the
Queens health is excellent, and that she de-
votes much attention to State duties. The
Queen has commissioned Hon. A. S. Cleg-
horn, father of Princess Kaiulani, to be
Governor of Oahn.
While there is considerable political dis
cussion growing out of the preparations for
the next Legislative campaign in the
islands, the discussion is marked with calm
ness, and there are no signs of the disturb
ing elements that have been reported from
time to time,

A SENSATION ON sHIPBoARD.

One of the Officers of the Vessel Is Fired
Upon Repeatedly by Woman.
LONDON, Nov. 1S.-An exciting incident
which occurred on board the steamer Mon
golian, which sailed from Montreal, Novem-
Der 3, for Liverpool, has just been made
public. While the steamer was passing
Londonderry Friday, bound up the Irish
sea, Mrs. Mason, the stewardess, rushed on
deck, revolver in hand, and fired at Purser
Stewart, who was on deck. The purser tried
to disarm the woman, but before he sue
ceeded she discharged the pistol three times.
Two of the bullets struck him.
A number of passengers were on deck
when Mrs. Mason opened fire. and they fled
In every direction. For time panic pre-
vailed. Some mystery attaches 20 the affair.
No reason is given for Mrs. Mason's MUIR
derous attempt. When the Mongolian ar
rived at Liverpool she was permitted to
leave the vessel unmolested. The wounds
inflicted upon the purser are serious.

FLORENCE Is BETTER.
HIS PHYSICIANS THINK HIS CHANCES
ARE GOOD.

A Much More Hopeful Outlook for the
Popular Actor-Not Yet' Out OF Danger,
but He Holds His Own Well-Fears of
Weakness,
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1S.-[Specidl J.
William j. Florence, the actor, whose hold
on life yesterday seemed SO small, contin-
ued to slowly improve to-day, and there is
generally more hopeful outlook of IA
vorable termination of his illness. The
physicians by no means say that the dis
tinguished actor is out of danger. Indeed,
the natural weakness consequent upon the
hard battle with death is now the main
cause for alarm.
No bulletins were issued until noon, at
which time the physicians held a consulta-
tion, and the following was posted at the
desk in the Continental Hotel:
We are gratified that Mr.. Florence holds
his own so well to-day, though he is not out
OF danger. He passed better night.
In the morning Mr.. Florence asked for
some nourishment. The doctors would not
consent to solid food, but the patient was
given two glasses of milk and cup of tea,
which he drank with evident relish. The
phase of the disease, which may now in
volve serious complications, is the weakness
which has made itself more manifest. This,
it is said, may bring on heart failure, and
while there is no organic trouble, the circu-
lation is weak. On the other hand there is
a very decided improvement in the condi-
tion of the patients lungs and his respira-
tion is decidedly stronger and less labored.
The interest which he manifested in his
surroundings, especially in the kilograms
received from his friends, is less marked,
and much of his joviality has disappeared.
His desire to see his relatives and talk with
them is not so great as heretofore, and while
he is perfectly conscious of his surroundings,
there is every evidence that he has weak
ened considerably All this apathy, how
ever, the physicians say, is only natural in
person who has struggled so manfully and
heroically through crisis which would
have meant collapse in majority of cases.
Taken as a whole, DIR. Donnelan says that
Mr.. Florence's chances are very good. The
doctor does not wish to commit himself
further. Mr. Florence's relatives are still
in almost constant attendance upon him.
Benjamin Conlin, of Brooklyn; returned
home to-day with the full conviction that
his brother was being thoroughly well
cared for and nursed. Mrs. Florence will
sail from Europe on Saturday, as the ply
sicians say in case of convalescence she would
be the most valuable nurse. Numbers of
kilograms were received to-day, and Mr..
j Jefferson is kept constantly posted. DIR.
Donnelan was again in charge in the sick
rnom tn-night

MORE TROUBLE TO CONE.
Striking Miners Determined, and Their
Polish Foes Well Armed.

TERRE HAUTE, IND, Nov. 1s.-The
situation at the Alum Cave coal mines,
where the riot occurred yesterday and one
of the Polish non-union miners was shot,
was feverish to-day, but the latest tele-
grams from the mine contained no refer
ence to further trouble. The Poles were
put to work this morning and were not
molested. although the feeling is intense
against them.
Early this morning a committee of
miners waited on Superintendent Gilmore,
and for second time demanded the re-
moval of the imported miners. The inter-
view was stormy one, and the miners re-
ceived no satisfaction. The Poles are
much wrought up over the shooting of
their countryman, and every man of them
is armed. This afternoon mob of about
800 miners and citizens from Hymera'and
other points visited the Alum Cave mine,
and demanded that the Poles be sent away
Mr.. Seifert, one of the company, met them
and gave the crowd no satisfaction. The
outlook from kilograms received here to-
night is not reassuring.

Pleas in the Carson Murder Trial

BEDFORD, Nov. 1s.-[Special. 1.-The testi-
mony in the Dean-Carson murder case was
closed to-day, and George Sill, attorney for
the State, made plea of over an hour. The
testimony shows by numerous witnesses that
the prisoner was sober on the day the mur-
der was committed, and therefore he could
not be on the verge Of delirium tremens, as
the defense tried to show. Ex-Judge Hall
will make the closing address for the de-
fense in the morning. The District At
torney will follow, and the case will likely
reach the jury by noon. The general opin-
ion is that the verdict will be murder in the
first degree.

MANY More Miners to Strike.

EVANSVILLE, Nov. 1S.-[Special 1.-The
miners employed by the Standard Coal
Company at saltillo, on the Columbus,
Shawnee and Hooking Railroad, have fol-
lowed those along the Cincinnati and Mus
kingum Valley Railroad in demanding 80
cents ton for mining, an advance Of 8
cents a ton over the present price. Indica-
tions tonight are that the miners along the
whole line of the frst-named road, except
at Shawnee, will 60 out. Some 750 men

What Might Have Been Railroad Horror
Is but q Bad Wreck.
ALLIANCE, Nov. 1S-[ Special IA
freight wreck took place at Ravenna this
morning under very peculiar circumstances.
Had there not been safety switch the like
lihood is that the freight would have rushed
into the side of New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio passenger train moving over the
Cleveland and Pittsburg crossing. Opera
tor Gilbert went to sleep in the tower, and
when the New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio passenger train came along he did not
give it the right OF way for the crossing. The
shouts of the trainmen awakened him and
he set the crossing for the passenger train.
The setting of the crossing at the same time
opened the safety switch on the Cleveland
and Pittsburg Railroad.
While the passenger had the right of way
and was pulling over the crossing, the
Cleveland and Pittsburg fast freight train
came rushing along and was derailed at the
safety switch. The engine and eight freight
cars were totally wrecked. The road was
blockaded for two hours.

villages sometimes perish. On one occasion.
about ten years ago, a trader left two bar
rels of New England rum on st. Lawrence
Island, just south of Bering Strait. in pay

proceeded to get drunk and stay so. Conse-
quently they did not do any hunting, and
when winter came they died of starvation.
The explorer Wilson landed upon the
island about year later and found 200 or
500 dead, the entire population having been
wiped out. Looking in through the Chin
nev holes in the roofs of their dwellings he
saw in every house only corpses lying
about-all perished Of hunger.
