SLAVES FOR MEXICO.


Two Hundred south Sea Islanders within
the Jurisdiction of This Country.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10.-The brig
Tahiti, which was put into brakes bay,
Saturday, in distress, left Tuesday for
San Benito, Mex, with her human cargo
of South Sea islanders. The customs
officials were in doubt as to the course
they should pursue in the matter, but as
the vessel was driven upon the coast by
stress of weather and had not intended
to enter American waters, they decided
to take no action in the matter. Cap
tain Ferguson, who is n part owner Of
the vessel, states that he is acting as an
authorized agent of the Mexican gov
ernment to assist immigration, and that
the terms of the contract, which were
explained to all natives before signing,
provide that they shall work three years
for IS per month, shall be given free
passage to and from the islands and shall
be given food, clothing and a house and
tract of land. Ferguson says Consular
Agent Rick at the Gilbert islands ex-
amined the natives and certified to the
passenger lists before the Tahiti sailed.

The Prospects for the Prosecuted nm,
Starving of Russia.

The Prospects for the POrseouted and
Starving of Russia.
LONDON, Sept 10.-From Kieff comes
the account of horrible tragedy. A
Jew named Kaplin, driven TO desperation
by an order TO leave Russia, he having
been deprived of comfortable business
by former DEGREES, first shot his wife
and then, one by one, his Ave children.
He afterward killed himself. Kaplan
left a note stating the motive for the
crimes, which was his desire to save his
family from otherwise inevitable misery.
From other parts of Russia comes
news Of the tragedies, consequent suffer
ing and struggle for existence. While no
case Of cannibalism have been reported,
there have been several cases of r1ysteri-
ous disappearance, that are attributed to
suspected cannibalism, and in Bes-
sarabia the police are carefully watch
ing for evidence against persons under
suspicion.
Many suicides are stated to have oc-
Cured among the peasaiitry, who, owing
to strong religious feeling, have been,
as rule, slow to commit this act. There
Is nothing reassuring In Russian adj
vices, and the prospect for the winter is
too terrible TO contemplate.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Q, 1891.
His Excellenoy Carroll Page, Governor
DEAR SIR take this my first oppor-
tunity TO acknowledge the receipt OF your
letter of the cath ultimo, In which you
state your purpose to appoint me as the
successor of the Hon. George H. Edlnunds
In the United States senat6 upon his retire
ment on tho 1st Of November In inform
ing you of my intention to accept the
same, | desire to express my high ap-
probation of the great honor which you
do me by the tender of this, the most Inn
portant appointment which the chief ex-
ecutive of state can be called upon to
make.
1t is also gratifying to be assured by you
that besides the sanction of your own
Judgment, you believe this selection meets
the wishes of large majority of the peo-
pie OF Vermont. The confidence which
they have heretofore shown in me has en-
couraged me in every position In the pub
lie service to which have been called.
Without their confidence should not care
to be even senator from Vermont In the
senate Of the United States, position
which has been unique by reason Of the
ability and influence of the representatives
Of our state in that body. Among them
there have been none more distinguished
than he who, after a service of quarter of
century, has felt obliged, in Justice TO
himself and family, to relinquish his great
trust. To succeed him is responsibility,
which shallassume with due modesty.
But the people of Vermont are always rea-
sonable in their expectations. They have
right to expect, however, that to tbs best
of my ability l will faithfully and earn
estly perform every duty which may be-
come incumbent on me, and this promise
to do. l thank you for the cordial and
friendly expressions of your letter and am,
with much respect, yours, very truly,

Reports are expected to reach the de-

of the death of John Domlnis, the prince
consort. Developments in that quarter
are being narrowly watched on account
of the possibility of an upheaval and the

Samoa.
Such official information as has
reached the department from Samoa is
indicative of the existence of feeling Of
unrest among the natives, and it was
believed to be polite to send man-of-
war there. This vessel, the Iroquois,
arrived at Apia a few days ago. There
is at present German man-of-war
there, and an English cruiser is expected
to reach Apia in a few days. With
these vessels lending support to the es-
tablished government of the islands, it
is felt that any resistance to Malietoa,
who occupies the throne as the result Of
the tripartite agreement, will be speed
lily overcome.

RIGHTLY NAMED.
Successful Tests of Terrorite. a Now
American Explosive.

American Explosive.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1O.-General Alb
bott and Colonel Mordecay made final
test of the new chemical high explosive
compound known as terrorite at Fort
Hamilton Tuesday.
Holes were dug In the ground six feet
deep at the northwest corner of the fort.
A hollow shell of copper was then filled
with twenty pounds of the explosive
and packed with cotton. The shell was
then placed in the improvised pit and
covered solidly with earth to the surface.
1t was exploded by means of an ordin-
ary prime. The detonation was long,
muffled one, without any smoke, but a
volume Of earth, weighing fully ton,
was hurled through the air in almost
every direction, rising to height Of
twenty-five to fifty feet.
The enormous force of torrorite was
evidenced by the crater which it made
around the pit and which measured near
ly twelve feet in diameter. The same
quantity of dynamite or nitro. o.glycerine
would not have done half as much dam
age. Four shells were fired in all with
practically the same results, while the
weight Of the charge was changed in
each instance.
Its Advantages.
In addition to its greater destructive
force the new explosive offers advantages
hitherto sought in vain. 1t can be
handled more safely than gunpowder,
which adds to its value in warfare. Its
force can also be regulated and it is
claimed to be at least four times as pow
erful as dynamite. Terrorite Is not af-
fected by larring or jolting, and SO its
transportation in cars or ships does not
endanger life.
Like dynamite it cannot be exploded
by mere application of fire. Dynamite
cannot be relied upon after it has been
stored for a nAmber of years. The in
ventor of terrorite claims that its quality
will not deteriorate under any conditions.
This, of course, is matter of conjec-
ture, as the United States engineering
department has as yet not been able to
test this claim. Frequent changes of
temperature, even below the freezing
point, do not effect terrorite to the same
extent as dynamite, nor does it dis
integrate in contact with iron, copper
brass, zinc or any other metal.
The chief value of the new explosive
is that it can be used for artillery pur-
poses 1t can be safely fired with gun
powder from any rifle or mortar. at
the moment of explosion the shell
bursts with greater force than if filled
with ordinary powder. Terrorite can
also be used in charging torpedoes or
submarine mines. A shell of solid steel
weighing 1000 pounds thrown from
13-inch steel rifle and filed with this ex-
plosive would not only pierce 16-inch
armor, but would prove very destruct-
i've when the contents were distributed.
Terrorite is all American invention.
The Mexican government has pur-
chased the right to use it both on land
and water. Mexican artillery officers
say they are highly satisfied with the re-
suit.
