ton Of affairs was critical. the welfare Of
the country demanded the settlement Of
existing difficulties and the powers would
do nothing. Large sections Of the natives
refused to pay their taxes upon the
ground that until the trouble at Malie was
put down they could not regard the exist
ing Government as stable, while, of course,
all Mataafa's followers were on the list Of
defaulters. Thus the country was rapidly
approaching financial ruin. and. therefore,
for pecuniary as well as for even graver
reasons the war was inevitable.
Everything was ready a week or so be-
fore start was made. operations being
delayed at the request of the Consuls.
These gentlemen expected instructi0ns
from their Governments by the mail steamer
Alameda on the 7th inst, and the Govern.
ment ohigingly postponed proceeding
against the enemy until after the arrival
OF the steamer.
On the morning of the 9Th the Consuls

but had to admit that no instructions had
been received and that they copld mot ad-

Faipule asked what the powers wouId ex-

tion indicates that the whole nation is
alive TO the danger which threatens US.
The convention not only repudiates the
idea of gold standard. but unanimously
committed itself to the Drluclple that we.
as Populists, have long held and cherished.
namely. that the law alone makes money
and that the stamp of the Government
converts go cents worth of silver into aidol-
lar equal to any gold dollar. and they
unanimously accepted our doctrine that
The money of the country should be ade-
ouaie for the dem ands OF business and
should expand with the growth of popula-
ton and commerce.
The address holds out the idea that the
silver convention was great victory for
the Populst principles embodied in the
Omaha platform and states that the strug-
gle will obliterate old party lines. 1t also
says that tens of thousands of new con-
verts are coming to their ranks and recon-
mends the Industrial Legion and all SINH
lar organizations as valuable aids in
organizing and educating the people.

house; if they surrounded it and commu.
nicated with the Consus. Mataafa, if there,
would be speedily got out. They added.
however, that il the white man was other
than American, British or German, they
would have no right to interfere. This
saving clause is supposed to have been
specially meant to apply to the French
missionaries, who are looked upon as
strong sympathlzers with Mataafa.
The advance upon Malie had already
begun. One section of the army, the one
which took the outpost. had been thro wn
out into the bush with orders to spread
round and connect with another section
below Maie. When time had been
allowed to execute this strategic move
ment, third section was to march Girec t
along the beach and roads on to the
Mataaftes, an armed fleet OF some fifteen
boats accompanying them and sailing close
in shore. q
Thus Mataafa was to have been COM
pletelv hemmed IN, and the converging
circle of his assailants was expected to
accomplish his utter defeat.
An accident spoiled the whole plan: the
uninten tonai discharge of gun precipi-
tated matters, and brought the two forces
into conflict before it was intended that
the fighting should commence.

CRISP'S COMMITTEES.
He Has Done Nothing and VIII Do
i'm No Hurry.

NEW YORK, Aug 4-The Worlds
Washington special says: Speaker Crisp
auth orizes the statement that there is no
basis whatever for any one of the many
reports circulated regarding the appoint
ment of chairmen of the committees. He
has not yet decided upon a single appoint
ment, and will certainly not before the
arrival of the President and Secretary Car
Isle, and probably not until the caucus
shall have officially designated him as its
candidate for Speaker. He does not ex-
pect to announce the committees until
eight or ten days after the organization on
Monday. He may make an exception of
the Committee on Coinage, but he has
reached no such determination as yet.
The Speakers sole aim is to do only that
which will be Of the greatest service to the
parry, which means cooperation with the
administration.
Inc truth IS all depends upon the tone
OF the message. Ii Cleveland shall confine
his recommendation strictly to the repeal
or the sherman law with no hint of subse-
Qnent legislation in the direction of hi
metallism it might be considered wise In
pit Cochran against the TedouhtabIe Bland.
in which event Cochran would leave the
Ways and Means to become Chairman of
the Coinage Committee. If. on the other
hand. the President should deem a mole
pacific policy advisable it might be con-
sdered wise to permit Bland to retain his
POSITION, if he should care to do so, de-
spite the opposing majority in his COM
mittee.
As the composition OF the Ways and
Means Committee will be affected by that
OF the Coinage Committee. especially with
reference to Cochran. it is easy to see the
reasons for the statements made above.
VIZ. :sthat all depends upon The Presidents
policy as outlined in his message.

The following is a copy of the letter
his surrender:
I'VE, the three Consuis of the treaty
powers. hereby give you notice that if you
and your chief and your wounded come
on beard the English man-of-war within
three hours from the time the boat tha
brings this reaches Manouo. your lives will
be safe.
IF you do not come the three men-of-
war Will open fire aud you will be attacked
by the Kings forces.
Your followers must bring all their
arms to the British man of-war for safety.
Ii you do not surrender you must still send
your women and children alongside the
British man-of-war and they will be safe
mo boat will be allowed to leave Ma
mono unless it comes direct to the British
man-of-war."
Then followed a list of nearly thirty
chiefs whose surrender was imperatively
demanded, and the letter was signed by
the three Consuls.
Mataafa replied as follows:
ITO their ErceNencies, the Consuls of the
Three Great P0,cers-YOUR EXCELLEN-
CIES: l have now agreed with all that you
have written to me. We are pleased to
obey. with humility. the great powers.

Pleasure=SeekerS Meet an
Awful Fate.
ON THE WAY TO A DANCE.
Having an inexperienced Pilot Their
Steamer Struck and Sunk With
Frightful Suddenness.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

LAKE GEORGE, n. Y, Aug. 4-The
steam-yacht Rachel sank last night with
twenty-nine passengers on board.
Such was the startling news that went
ringing through Lake George early this
morning, and to it was added the informa-
tion that nine persons had been drowned
and twenty saved. The steamer was char
tered by party from Fourteen-mile Island
Hotel to the Hundred-mie Island House,
where a dance was in progress. The reg
ular pilot was i'll and the substitute was
not an experienced pilot, although familiar
| with that part Of the lake, where he had
been employed two seasons.
| The night was very dark, and plotting
was unsafe except when aided by the
trained eye of a well-informed boatman.
The steamer got too far off the channel
when going past Old Piers and stove a
large hole in the bottom of the boat which
sank quickly. The ladies on board were
laughing and singing. but instantan eously
the scene changed. The boat went down
so al 1lckly that no time was given the ILL
fated pleasure-seekers to utter prayer
Some of the passengers were caught under
the deck and died quickly.
1t seemed hours before help arrived,
though a dozen men were on the water in
rowboats almost before the smokestack Of
the Rachel sank from sight.
These rescuers did noble work and sue
ceeded at last in saving most of those who
were struggling in the water. though a
number were carried down with the steamer
and others sank from sight before help
could be given them. Those drowned
were:
Miss Ovitt.
Miss Burke.
Miss Hall.
Miss Worden.
Mrs. Mitchell and son and one lady
whose name could not be ascertained.
All of those who were drowned were
from Troy. Brooklyn and Hoboken, and 1t
is said that the party was composed mostly
of New York and Brooklyn excurs sionists.

LONDON, Aug. 4-The sham battle
between the two fleets that have been
maneuvering off the Irish coast ended
to-day. The red fleet was finally defeated
by the blue fleet and the vessels composing
it dispersed. The victors pursued the flee

real instead of make believe it could be
said that the whole red fleet fell into the
