SAN FRANCISCO, March "a. king
Tonbrino of Butaritari, who arrived in
this city on the bark Towara last week,
announces that his mission to this

islands. He says he feels that these
islands would be muchmore prosperous
under such protecorate, and if this
government will accept the proposition
and raise the American flag over the
islands, he would agree to transfer to
the United States the harbor of the is
land of Butartari, and to keep the har-
Dor in good condition as coaling sta
ton and for refuge at all times He
would also assist to the utmost in pro-
noting commercial relations between

ton be laid before the authorities at
Washington.

FEMALE BANDITS.
How otd Man Harvey's Six Girls Nndo n
Living for Their pareuts

How Old Man Harveys Six Girls NndS n
Living for Ther pareuee
SALMON CITY, Idaho, March GA
few days ago the fact of the numerous
stage hold.ups in this part OF the couu-
try was noted. aud the belief expressed
that sensational developments would
follow the working of a clew which the
sheriff was following. These develop
ments have come, and there now board
with the sheriff man uand seven wom-
en-, or rather one woman and six girls.
The belief was strong that Old Man
Harvey and his family were response
BILE for the numerous robberies, and
this belief has now become a certainty,
for the girls were caught in tho act
by a clever scheme worked by the Off.
cials.
1t was found that the stages were
robbed on the side of Harvey's
ranch after they had left there.
An east-going stage would be robbed
enst of Harvey's, while west-going
one would be held up on this side The
sheriff concluded that the old man and
his girls had more to do with this than
any one else, and so set n trap which
worked we'll. There were certainspots
along the road where the robberies were
committed, and in one of these places
the sheriff with ten men waited while
the stage stopped at the house with tho
instructions for the driver to give signs
of fear of robbery because he carried a
money box.
The bait took and when the stage
people were eating dinnc: the girls dis
appeared, and soon the sheriff and his
party in am mbash saw six young men
sneak into the little canyon and hide
themselves close to the road. When
the stage came along the bandits went
forth and stopped it at the point of the
guns, but the sheriff was also there and
took in the whole gang, who proved to
be girls who had left the house. When
the arrest was made one of the girls
weakened and told the whole story.
She said she never liked the work and
was glad they were caught. They
were trained to it by their father and
mother, and the proceeds were shipped
east for sale so as not to excite suspi-
cion In the country.

WASHINGTON, March 6-The entire
session of the cabinet was devoted to
the consideration of the Behring sea
question. 1t is understood that the
government will await reply from
Lord Salisbury to the presidents note
of the 22d inst before proceeding on
the assumption that Great Britain will
not cooperate in measures for the pro-
lection of the sealing industry The
seriousness of the Behrng sea situation
is shown by the fact that Secretary
Blaine attended the cabinet meeting
Friday, Notwithstanding he has not yet
fully recovered from his recent severe
attack OF the grip.

ib Jhe means Oh IteHcutnR his Master from
Painful Position.
MUNcIE, Ind, March 26.-Rev. Daniel
Dragoo, who resides a few miles out OF
the city, was in the woods near his
house loading logs on wagon. AS
one of the logs was being rolled on the
slids the chain broke and the log rolled
backward, knocking Mr. Dragoo down
and pinioning him to the ground. His
faithful dog, hearing the means of his
master, came running up and com
menced licking the injured mans hand,
which relieved some of the pain. Mr..
Dragoo, having n notebook and pencil
in his pocket secured them and wrote
on leaf: Come at once; am fast under
a log; can not get out" He then
placed the paper in the dogs mouth
and started him toward the house, with
the expectation of assistance coming at
once. The dog delivered the paper,
and in a short time the injured man
was rescued from his perilons position.
His left ankle and foot were badly
mashed, and will have to be amputated.
