rendering their charters and dis
handing because politics have been
introduced in them anu attempts
made to transform them into third
party organizations. al of them

organized to help farmers, not to
help the republican party, which is
the only conceivable effect the third

The SITUATION In SAMOA.

Corr. OF the Associated Press.
APIA, Samoa, Sept. 10. - Government
affairs In the Samoan Islands are still drag
ging On, although the treasury is nearly
empty. Some time ago King Malietoa
ordered small boat from San Francisco.
and when the bill of $500 was presented the
King and Secretary of State certified that
the amount was correct. Baron Senft Won
pilsach, the Treasurer, declared. however.
that he could not honor the account as he
did not have that sum in American or Eng
lish gold, and the builders refused to take
German money. so the amount has not been
paid. and the Kings credit is damaged con-
sideTaby.
Native take: are coming in very slowly.
One district, Fasaealeaga, is only paying
81 each for every head Of a family. All
funds received are being expended by the
Government in salaries. The Municipal
Council still refuses to authorize the collec-
tion of the property tax until the three
treaty powers reply TO their protest against
customs revenue being taken away, though
the Chief Justice has ruled that the collec-
ton of the tax should be made at once.
Ii. NJ. 5. Curacao went to Pago Psgo some
time ago with the English Land Commits
si0ner Haggard on board, and it was stated
that the British Government had taken a
piece of land there for c0aling station. 1t
was subsequently ascertained, however,
that while the commander of the Curacao
and Commissioner Haggard had made in-
quiries about piece of land On the oppo-
site side of the harbor from Swimming
Point, nothing had been done in the matter,
Mataafa is still at Malie. 1t is said that
some of the districts which had promised to
support him have gone over to the Govern
ment party, ana that an attack will be made
on him at early date. He adheres to his
resolution not TO commence war. ana there
is no doubt some of his party are dissatis-
fed in consequence.

And NOW HB Is AFRAID.
Wong Chung Defed the Six
Companies.
HE WAS REGISTERED FIRST.
Ee 0beyed the Law, but Now He Lives in a
State Of Fear and Trembling
McKees Scoop

While the Government officials assert that
there have been ten or more Chinese in this
State who have obeyed the registration law
under the Geary act, they have persistently
refused either to give tho ames OF the Chi
nese registering or to allow the photographs
placed on file to be seen.
In adopting the measures OF extreme
secrecy in regard to Chinese registration,
Collector Quinn. General McC0mb and their
deputies throug hout the State have un-
douhtedly acted wisely.
Ii has been tRcitIy understood ever since
the Six Companies issued their first procla-
nation against the Chinese obeying the
Geary law, that those who disregarded the
edct of the companies would have to deal.
sooner or later, with tie dreaded highbind-
erS, and, however much mistaken they were
in the reading of the first proclamation. the
Chinese have everywhere construed the
sentence that "those who registered need
not appeal to the Hl-pOwertul Six COmpa-
MES for help in the future" 10 mean that
registration would be OF little value to those
who obeyed the law after they were dead.

The nina, one OF the Grackle species OF
birds, found in tropical and sub-tropical
countries, eXcels all other animals in its
initiative powers, and particularly in the
imitation of human speech. When domesti-
Gated these birds far excel the parrots. both
in picking up the words and speech of those
by whom they are surrounded aud in the
distInctness with which they speak the
words and sentences learned. So distinct,
in fact. is the uttsrance of the nina and of
some species of parrots which most nearly
approach IL that persons hearing them
speak at once look around for tbs human
beng they believe to have addressed them,
and have some difficulty In realizing that
the voice was only that OF a bird. A speci-
men Of the nina, or hll-mina as 1t is called,
may be seen at the Geological Gardens.
Regents Park. London. Ga its arrival it
was placed in the tortoise house. The hill
nina is small bird, shining coal-bleck in
color, with bright orange stripe about its
head, orange legs, and a sharp, salmon
colored BILL and can speak and laugh In per-
feet imitation OF man, joining in most in-
telligently in conversation.
