Rival Native Factions at War with Each
Other There.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Nov. 28 Recent
reports of trouble among the natives in
Samoa are confirmed by mail advices from
Apia, which arrived yesterday by the
steamer Monowai. A correspondent writ
ing on Nov. 8 says: "The natives are
fighting in the bay. The towns are all
destroyed. No native houses are stand
ing. European property is safe as yet,
but the natives are threatening to burn
the white people out. Business is natu-
rally at a standstill. All the natives have
now left the bay of Pago-Pago and are on
the east end Of the island. Hostilties
commenced on Tuesday morning, Oct.
"a The Chief Leiato and his followers
made raid on the village OF Aoa, killing
four men and wounding one.
On the 29th Fagatono and Aua went to
Pago- Pago to endeavor to arrange matters
peaceably between the contesting parties,
but on their approaching the beach the
Fagrsaa people, who had Joined the Pago-
Pago party, fired on the boats, killing two
men and wounding three. Letter, the
Fatagono and Aoa villages were burned
down, and, indeed, the whole of the east
end was destroyed.
Leiato and his people returned to the
island OF Aunuu and intrenched them
selves there. This position IL an exceed
ingly strong one. Indeed 1t is almost in
accessible, and is most difficult to attack
There are plenty OF provisions on the
island, and consequently no danger Of
the people being starved out.

Biela's Comet Rushing on to Meet Mother
Earth.


CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-If Bielas comet,
which is now attracting so much atten-
tion, is to collide with this planet, the
cerem onies will be over by 10 o'clock to-
morrow evening. Prof. Elias Colbert,
who is observing the comet closely, has
this to say upon the subject:
"If anyone is afraid of the consequences
OF acollision with the comet, he may re-
assure himself after 9.45 Sunday night. AS
near as can be computed the earth will be
at that point in it's orbit which is crossed
by the Biela comet at $50 on Sunday,
provided there has been no shift in the
position of the plane of the comets orbit
In the -last-40 years,-If there has been
such a change it would be slight retro
gression, making the limit of possible
contact earlier than above stated.
"While have no means of knowing the
exact position OF the comet owing to
cloudy weather, II seems probable that
the comet is moving toward us, in spite of
assertions to the contrary, and that II
must cross the earth's orbit, but possibly
not until some days after the earth has
got beyond the collision point, II there be
any.
"The comet ought to have moved more
than degree in position between eight
o'clock Thursday night and the same
time last night, provided that it be due to
cross the earth's orbit not later than Sun
day evening, while an indistinct observa-
tion OF IL through the haze does not war
rant the belief that it has changed its posi-
tion by as much as one degree"

A ROARING FURNACE.
Cornelius vanderbiIt's Handsome
Villa Complete Loss.
A $3OO,0OO BLAZE AT NEWPORT,
IL was one OF the Most Costly Residences
in the City by the sea-some of the
Inmates had "a Narrow Escape.

NEWPORT, r. l., Nov. 26.-"The Break
ers," the elegant and costly summer resi-
dence of Cornelius Vanderbilt was burned
last night. Blackened and crumbling
walls OF brick and heaps OF ashes are all
that now remain of the palatial villa,
which for years has been numbered
among Newport's largest and finest resi-
dences.
The fire also destroyed all the valuable
contents of the villa, including furniture,
bric-a- brac, wearing apparel and rare and
costly articles of every description. The
fire was discovered by Mr.. Vanderbilt
himself, the smoke being seen in the
main hall.
A telephone message was sent to thu
city and still alarm was sent in, Mr..
Vanderbilt thinking at that moment that
the fire was slight and easily within con-
troll. A few minutes suffced to show this
TO be a serious mistake, and within two
hours the building and contents were to-
tally destroyed.
The villa was located at Ochre Point,
nearly ~ miles from the nearest fire sta
ton. Before an alarm could be sent out
and the apparatus reach the scene, the fire
was far beyond control, and all that could
be done was to stay, rather than check,
the work OF destruction. A general alarm
summoned the entire department, which
was unable to work to advantage. This
was partly due to the small number OF
bydrants in that section of the city, where
the houses occupy large grounds and are
scattered about at considerable distances.
The whole building was roaring fur
mace from the roof to the ground and
from end to end when the department ar
rived. A small portion OF the furniture
was saved, seeming large In itself, but In
significant either in quantity or value
when compared with that sacrificed.
The house was built about dozen or
fifteen years ago for p. Lorillard of New
York, and was purchased with the exten-
sive grounds by Mr.. Vanderbilt In 1885.
More than 100000 was expended in addi-
tions and improvements to the building,
the value of which was estimated at more
than half that sum at the time of sale.
The character of the furniture and dec
oratious may be judged from the fact that
in a single hall were hung tapestries esti-
mated to be worth $50, 900 or more.
Members Of the family and servants
alike, lost all their clothing in the general
destruction. Mr.. Vanderbilt and family
found temporary refuge in the gardner s
cottage on the premises, and were enter
tanned during the night by hospitable
neighbors. The servants lose a consider
able amount In cash, together with their
clothes.
Mr.. Vanderbilt and family have been
here only since Oct. 1, having spent the
gay season elsewhere this year because OF
the recent death of their eldest son. Es-
Inmates place Mr.. Vanderbilt's loss at not
less than $500 900.

CRIES OF HELP.
How One of the Crew OF the Helen Mar
was Saved.

|
PRovINCETowN, Mass, Nov. ga let
ter received from Capt. John A. Cook OF
whaling steamer Jessie II. Freeman, re-
Gently arrived from the Arctic at San
Francisco, gives report OF q rescue by
him of one Of the crew of the ill-fated
bark Helen Mar, which was crushed in
the ice Oct. g. All of her officers, includ-
ing the captain, and all but four Of the
crew, perished.
Capt. Cook states: "On Oct. sth, while
steaming along the edge Of the ice in COM
pany with the steamer Belvidere, going
slowly, we heard man Scream for help.
We reversed the engine at once and
lowered boat.
"The night was very dark, yet we were
attracted to the spot by the mans cries
for help. We found the man on the bot
tom of an overturned small yawl, over
which the waves were constantly wash
ing. We took him on board and did
what we covld to relieve him.
"From him we learned that he was a
boat steerer OF the Helen Mar and thai
his vessel sank by being crushed between
two bergs at midnight of the 9Th. This
man with the captain and five others sue
ceeded in getting on top Of the house on
having broke of from the bark when she
went down. The captain and three others
died before morning.
"At daybreak this man and another, all
that were left, after much toll, at last got
the boat adrift and launched II, taking
some pieces Of boards for paddles and
went to an ice foe to see IL they could see
some vessel. Not finding any they tried
TO return TO house, but were unable to
find it, and drifted around in the boat.
about two hours before we picked him
up his companion died and fell over the
side of the boat, capsizing it, so all he
could do was to cling to the bottom OF
the boat. All attempts to right it were
unavailable and he would undoubtedly
have perished soon but for our timely ar
rival on the spot.o

International Conference of Cyclists
Thirty Persous Injured at Paris in n
Railroad Accident.

Copyright, 1892, by the Associated Press.)
LONDON, Nov. 26.-Before the English
delegates to the international monetary
conference started for Brussels, the in
structions given by Sir William Harcourt,
Chancellor OF the Exchequer, to Sir Q.
Fremantle, deputy master OF the mint and
Sir c. Rivers Wilson, were to expedite the
deliberation and to obtain continuous
sitting, daily. with the exceptions or
Saturday and Sunday, so as to bring the
conference TO an end within few weeks
On the eve of the day the delegates start
ed for Brussels, the representative of the
Associated Press learned from high
authority that il the conference was pro-
longed beyond three weeks, the leading
English representatives would return To
London, leaving the less important mem
bers of the delegation TO watch the pro-
ceedings.
The special correspondent of the Man.
chester Guardian, who is in intimate
touch with some OF the leading delegates,
telegraphs that the conduct OF the En-
glish delegates surprises the other Euro
pean representatives. The Americans ask
why they were brought across the Allan
tic II policy aiming at the failure OF the
conference is to be pursued.
The correspondent adds that all eyes
are turned upon the American delegation,
which is a remarkably impressive one.
Senator Allison has the highest repute
among the members OF the conference.
Senator Jones is man of extraordinary
force of character and rare ability. He
has decidedly impressed the 'correspon-
dent with his single -mindedness in the
matter. Were he to make tour OF Eng
land he would win host OF adherents to
his cause.
It is with a sense of confusion that the
Englishmen listen to the remarks of the
American delegates on the imperfect
knowledge OF the rudiments of currency
questions displayed by the English rep
resentatives.
The representative of the Associated
Press here had an interview with Dana
Horton, who is now in Brussels in con-
sultation with the delegates. Mr.. Horton
said that the out and out friends of silver
were undoubtedly moving forward and
recruiting adherents. Yet, so far as the
conference was concerned, there would
probably be more hope than promise OF
Immediately favorable results.

100 MILES AN -FOUR.
Going Ahead with the 3oo-MiIe EIectrL
Line In the West.

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-The new Chicago
and st. Louis Electric road, on which ii
is claimed 100 miles an hour will be made
when the line is in operation, and which
is under construction at the st. Louis end,
has aroused new interest from the fact
that the General Electric Company is
said to be backing the enterprise.
This Is the theory on which certain
parties i'm Wall street account for the new
issue OF s6,0o0,0O0 bonds of the electric
company. The General Electric Company
IL is said, now has 81 800 900 in cash i'm the
treasury, but this Is mostly needed in or
der to esta blish subordinate electric light
companies in different cities.
The road will be 800 miles long, with
four tracks, two Cor express business and
two for local. The promoters expect to
have IL done for the Worlds Fair. ID.
Wellington Adams Is reported as saying
that the financial part Of the scheme is as

Fire Burning In n Mine at Stellarton for
Nearly Twelve Years.
HALIFAX, n. s., Nov. 26.-The Ford pit
Of the Halifax Coal Mine Co., near Stellar
Ton, Pictou county, after the accident OF
1880, when many lives were lost, was
abandoned and water turned into It,
which, it was hoped, would extinguish
the fire. 1t was left in this condition for
years.
few months ago large NUMBER of
men went to work at mining in the pit,
but this week had TO abandon it, as the
fire is still burning there, and gas has ac
eumulated to such an extent that il be-
came unsafe. The mine is evidently on
fire in portion out of reach OF water and
will probably never be worked again. 1t
is computed that there are twenty million
tops Of coal there unmined.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. pa great SEN

mutiny of the Novotcherkask regiment,
which has been garrisoned here for some
sime. The men OF the regiment have
long been complaining OF the ill-treat-
nent to which they have been subjected

Being no longer able to endure such
reatnent, they deserted in a body and
started for their homes. Another regi-
ment was sent in pursuit, and the mutt
neers were overtaken about twelve miles
