= - " AZ oOOAl, ctiQ IlG has never
failed to visit lodge when in San
francisco on business. At different
times thousands of natives of the
South Seas have worked for Greig
on his lonely islands, but he was
never known to have the slightest
trouble with any of them, and he
was loved and respected by all who
knew him.
His family are now grown up.
His oldest daughter is married to
a man named Anderson, who is
Governor Of Washington Island.
Another resides in this city, and
is the wife of Captain Reid, owner
and master of the brig Douglas,
and it was at their house he
breathed his last
The funeral services were held
in the Masonic Temple on the 31st,
and at the conclusion of the cere-
monies the body was placed on
board the brig George II. Douglas,
which sailed the same day for the
Island.
Trouble Brewing in Cuba.
An instruction is brewing in
Cuba. About 1900 Cuban exiles
are at Jacksonville, Fla, and are
contributing a fund for war pur-
poses. The Cubans in the United
States raise $4,000 week for this
purpose.
South Sea News.
A dispatch from London, dated
the 9th ult., says: . Dispatches
from Sydney express the fear that
another civil war is imminent in
Samoa, the old trouble of rivalry
between Malietoa and Mataafa be-
ing the cause. All efforts to re-
concile them have failed"
IN The Cholera in Europe.
The cholera plague is still spread
ing rapidly in Europe. It now ex-
lists all along the Trans-Caspian
railway and the Volga river, and
has appeared in a virulent type in
Austria and Hungary. It is also
on the shores of the Sea of Azof
and the Black sea. All the coun-
tries adjacent to Russia are quar-
antined against all traffic by sea
and land, but it is feared that the
disease will eventually spread all
over Europe. German physicians
who have been in the infected dis
tricts of Russia say that the sani-
tary regulations are farce, and
that there is nothing done to offer
check to the dissemination of the
disease throughout all Russia. Ber-
lin is greatly alarmed, and every
possible precaution is being taken
to prevent the introduction of the
plague. DR.. Hirsch, a noted ply
stefan of Berlin, speaking of the
possibility Of the disease reaching
this country, said:
II have thoroughly studied the
condition of America, and there is
little danger of an outbreak of the
disease there, provided thorough
cleanliness is maintained and sani-
tary precautions are adopted. One
danger to America is on the Cana
dian frontier. The greatest danger
is in the importation of rags. The
American authorities should strict
ly prohibit the importation of rags
from any district where cholera
might be suspected of existing"
One case of Asiatic cholera has
appeared at Saginaw, Michigan,
which proved fatal. 1t is thought
to have been sporadic.
Small pox is raging in Manitoba,
and North Dakota has quarantined
against that country.
Yellow fever has broken out in
Senegal.
The Big Strikes.
Everything is quiet at Home
stead and Wardner, the scenes of
the great and bloody strikes now
pending. The Homestead mills
are now in full operation, and the
union men who precipated the
trouble are beginning to get dis
couraged as they see that there is
possibility of running the mills
without their help. The Carnegie
Company still offers to accept
some of the old men who did not
participate in the slaughter of the
Pinkerton men, but maintains that
the Amalgamated Association will
, never again be recognized. Many
/ of the strikers are accepting The
: offer. AS o result, 1900 of The
: troops have been withdrawn, but {
) sufficient number remains to guarC
, the property of the company. Presi
/ dent Frick, who was shot by one o
D the sympathisers Of the strikers
: is nearly well, much to the regre
e of the non-union men. Carnegi
still remains in Scotland, and ha
g nothing to say publicly about tn
e strike. 1t is thought that Berg
