THE SITUATION In SAMOA.
A Rumor Current That England WI
Annex the Islands.

current mat England Will
Annex the Islands.
Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
APIA, Samoa. Oct. 12-It Is difficult to as
certain accurately the strength OF Mataafa's
following. He has lately sent out messen-
gers throughout Samoa. with the object o
ascertaining what his following would be In
case Of war. II is reported that the result
is satisfactory TO him. One great handicap
he has to contend with is tho ammunition
question, and the uncertainty as to what
action the great powers would take In the
event OF war;
A factor which prevents war Is that the
present status of affairs suits the Samoans,
as they are NOT obliged to pay taxes. Both
the general and municipal governments are
practically bankrupt.
A large meeting was held at Lui-Lui
(the ruling town of Atua) lately, and after
great deal OF talk 1t was decided. first OF
all, TO build two large boats. and then col
lect their poll-tax. This means another
three months delay. The fact is. that al

holds the title of TUT Atua Q1ng Of Atua),

the state OF affairs here. This feeling Is

The three Consuls are working amicably,
and Ia their capacity as Consular Board are
exercising wise check over the President.
The President has again borrowed money
from the General Government, most OF
which goes to pay his salary. The rumor
is current that 1t is likely that the British
Government will annex Samoa, or at least
declare protectorate, though heretofore 1t
was generally understood that when King
George OF Tonga died England would take
that island and Germany Samoa.

THE WHEELMEN'S LEAGUE

The Palma Club was not represented
by its Big Five in the Union game at
Pamrapo last night. The club cannot
lose first place In its section and three OF
the team took rest. Meyer and Lutz
were the two regulars who participated.
The absence of the trio did not affect the
result. The Newark Bay Boat Club put up
the finest Union score of the season. Not
man bowled below 160 and the total
yielded an average of 1877. They were de-
feated by 90 pins. With the exception OF
Gopsill, the Palmas had on their bowling
armor. Meyer was in superb form and
downed the pins for over 200, while Lutz
plucked 1s1. Vultee, who is tumbling
the pins in great shape now. was only
three behind Lutz. and Hathaway was
thirteen better than the average. The
lead see-sawed, and the teams kept in
close company to the finish. AT the end
of the fourth freme Palma was ahead by
two. In the second the boatmen had an
advantage of II. In the third they were
20 ahead. The fourth closed with Palma
Is behind. and in the next frame they had
recovered the lead by pins. 1t was only

ONLY FIVE DAYS.

For Filling Policeman's Eye With
Tobacco Juice.
James Ryan, tough specimen OF the
Hoboken peddler, was placed on trial TO-
day in the Court OF Special Sessions,
charged with splitting in the face of Po-
liceman McGinnis and threatening to
brain him with an axe.
The direful offenses, McGinnis swore.
took place on the night OF January 10.
He had found Ryan and companion
drunk. They fed to stable owned by
Peddler Kiesmetter.
McGinnis summoned two other police
men and the three charged on the stable.
McGinnis peered through crack In the
weather boards of the stable, and his eye
offered the tobacco-chewing expectorator
a beautiful shot. His aim was true, and
the eye of the descendeub of the McGin-
MIS- was deluged. The threat followed.
Ryan, when placed on the stand, de-
MED that he spat at the policeman, Dut
sad:-
"Wen de coppers wus takin' me to de
Jug McGinnis tried to bore hole tru de
back of me neck wild his club"
"Have you ever been arrested beforeP"
asked the Prosecutor.
"Only two times"
"What for?"
II can't remember. A feller can't al
ways tink of such little tings."
"How long ago was it?'
"Five years"

The Jersey City Athletes and AtAian tas
in First Place.
The New York Bicycle Clubs bowling
team, after holding the lead in the
Wheelmen's Bowling League since the
opening of the season. has apparently
gone to pieces. 1t is now piiing up de
feats Us rapidly as it did victories early in
the season. and has fallen from
first to third place. 1t has
been beaten twice this week. The
race Is now between the Jersey City Ath-
letic Clubs Wheelmen and the Atlanta
wheeImeu of Newark. The records are
confusing That given in the Wheel,
which is supposed to be official, is incor-
rect and does not correspond with the
records of the Jersey City team. The
Wheel gives the Atlantas an advantage
of one game won. The Jersey City ath-
letes claim that with the games won by
the Atalantas from the New Yorks the
teams are tie. The Jersey City Athletes
are confident of winning all their
games. They bowl only one away from
home and that is at Guests alleys tomor-
row night against the Hudson County
Wheelmen. They will meet the Ata-
lantas, Riversides and New Yorks at the

score of the game on the Atalanta's

A QUEER ASSAULT.
Judge Lippincott and Prosecutor
Winfield Disguised.

A case that should prove warning to
men before they dare the temper OF
women was in the Court of Sessions to-
day. Conrad Miller. of No. 55 Seavlew
avenue, was a prisoner there charged
with assault and battery on his wife.
Miller appeared before the Judges In a
horrible condition. He had lost one leg
by an accident five years ago and since
that time had been an invalid. The I'M
print of death was plainly to be seen on
his pallid face and in his almost palsied
limbs. When he in very weak con.
dition slowly hobbled to a chair in front
of the Court. every eye in the room gazed
with pity on him.
His wife. hard featured, loud voiced
woman, healthy and fat. strutted 60 the
witness box with an air that would have
terrified prize fighter. She told the
Court her tale of woe which consisted or
terrible beating her husband had given
her.
Judge Lippincott and every one else
oazed in incredulous wonderment at the
woman who charged the helpless invalid
with treating her in such cruel manner.
No one believed her.
Miller was too feeble to,climb up into the
witness box and ne was permitted to re-
main where he wss seated. With tears
in his eyes he told of his feeble condition.
"Six years ago." he said, II was Well
and strong and / married this woman.
Then lost my leg year later and have
been sick ever since. 1t is necessary for
me to sleep in warm room, but my Wife
refused to let me. She said the room was
warm enough for her and had to be for me.
went to another room and sat down by
the fire. She came after me and abused
me. Finally she seized me and / raised
nv hand to push her away. can only
raise my arms level with my breast. She
seized my hands and / scratched her. A
boarder came in and pulled my wife
away. telling her 1t was q shame TO abuse
me in that manner"
the Court said that Miller was techni-
cally guilty, but added sternly that th ere
were greater crimes than assault and
battery and one of these was for u wife
to illtreat a helpless invalid husband
The Court did not mince words in de
She interjected:-"Buth he has given me
no money for five years"
"That makes no difference. He is un-
able to, and 1t is your duty to take care OF
him." said the Judge; "and now you take
your husband home and" (verv sternly)
''see that you take good care of him."
II have enough to do to take care OF
myself" the woman almost growled as
she scowled fiercely on her husband.
''rhat will do. You do what the Court
advises"
Remove that woman, officer" said the
Court.

Winfield In disgust that he had been com
