REBEL LION IN SAMOA.
The Deposed King is Making Il New
Start for the Throne.

WASHINGTON. Jure l5.-Secretary
Gresham has got another diplomatic
tangle on his hands. This time it is the
Samoan islands. He has received ad-
wees that war is imminent and that a
rebellion has broken out against the ex-
listing government. of which King Ma
littoa is the head. Comparative quiet
prevailed On the islands SO long as the
dethroned monarch Mataafa was kept
out Of his kingdom. 1t appears. now,
however. that he has returned to Samoa
for the purpose Of regaining his throne.
All his old adherents and many new re-
cruits have rallied under his standard
and have begun operations against the
powers that be. That his following is
strong and menacing is evidenced by
the fact that the reigning king, MaIittoa
has appealed to the representatives of
the trlpartate alliance to protect him in
accordance with the treaty concluded
between the United States, Great Britain
and Germany. and assist him in driving
the usurper Mataafa from his territory.
The situation has reached a critical
stage and the president and Secretary
Gresham are in frequent conference as
to the policy of this government in the
matter. The United States is pledged to
assist in preserving the autonomy OF the
islands, but at present it is hardly in a
position to do very much in that direc-
ton. The only naval vessels at or neal
Samoa are the Boston and Adams at
Hawai-, and there is no means of COM.
municating with them eXc-ptb by steamer
from San Francisco. Even if that could
be accomplished it would take at least
five days to make the trip from Honolulu
TO Samoa. Germany is the only men,
Der Of the alliance represented at the
islands by a war ship, but with the co
operation of representatives and citizens
of other governments that vessel will be
sufficient to afford ample protection to
foreign interests on the islands even if
it is not capable Of entirely suppressing
the rebellion.

ship is high and dry upon the bar at the
lower end of the torpedo station and the
sailors, together with the vessels own

WASHINGTON. June 1G.-In the contin-
ued inquest on the victims of Ford's
theatre disaster today, 7. c. Entwistle,
building inspector of the district, testi-
fed that the mortar used in tho altera-
tons was bad and the brickwork badly
done. If he had had authority to pre-.
vent it he would not have permitted the
work to be done In the way it is as there
was too much risk. Architect Clark of
the capital testified that the weight on
the floor was considerably below the
safety limit. The remainder of the evi.
dence at the morning session was com
paratively unimportant.
Mr.. Losse, engineer of the theatre
building, who testified yesterday. was re-
called at the afternoon session and asked
to produce the plans which he drew for
Col. Ainsworth had taken the plans away
agreed to see the colonel and produce
them before the judge which he subse-
quently did with explanations.
After James II. McGill, the architect,
had testified that any man in bis right
senses would not have done such work
as that beneath the theatre without
snoring; that a competent draughtsman
should have drawn plans, and that an
expert should have superintended the
work according to custom, the jury adj
journed until tomorrow, when it is ex-
pected the inquiry will be concluded.
Contractor Dane who was doing the
work which resulted in the collapse of
the building, is in a serious condition
and it is feared that his mind is affected
by the disaster.

ST. Louis, June ia supply of nat
ural gas of very considerable value has
been found here. The flow is from an
a~rtesian well being sunk by the Dressed
Beef and Provision company at their
plant, and this morning when the flame
was applied it blazed up some fifteen
feet and made the workmen beat a hast,
retreat from the derrick-house. There
are 700 feet of water in the shaft which
is now down 800 feet, and the gas forces
its way up through this heavy pressure
and bubbles up at the top. The COM
pany has decided to sink another well to
supply their plant with natural gas fuel.

Watching south America.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Word was re-
celved at the navy department today
that the United States steamship At
lanta had arrived at Colon for coal. yell
low fever has appeared on some of the
islands off the isthmu: and as affairs in
Nicaragua appear to have quoted down
it is probable that the United States
naval vessels will not be kept much
longer in that vicinity. The Alliance
will probably go down the coast of South
America as far as Callao and remain
there until the Philadelphia arrives IN
Peruvian waters, which, it is expected,
will be sometime in August. so that a
United States naval vessel will be on
hand during and after the elections in

The New York Clearing House Gives Out
Very Little About Certificates.

The New York Clearing House Gives Out
Very Little About Certificates.
New YORK, June 1G.-The clearing
house loan committee met this morning,
but did not issue any certificates. After
the meeting members of the committee
declined to give any information to re
porters. AS to whether any applications
had been received for loan certificates or
whether any certificates could be issued
today, because there had not been time
for the directors of any bank which
might desire to take some to meet and
authorize the necessary application.
1t is not known yet whether any bank
desires to take out certificates. The
loan committee, however, will meet
again tomorrow. If any certificates are
issued this week, that is tomorrow. the
usual weekly bank statement will not be
published, but only the totals for all the
banks. 1t is thought that the commit
tee may decline to state the amount of
certificates issued each day and content
themselves with giving the total amount
weekly with other totals Of bank state
ments. The action of the clearing house
association in deciding to issue loan GER
tificates was warmly commended on
every hand to-day and it was conceded
that the announcement of their resolu-
tons had a very beneficial effect.

Clearing House Certificates May he Used
in an Emergency.


New YORK, June 15.-Partly perhaps
because of the expanded short interest
in the market Wall street received the
news Of the clearing house move with
great equanimity. The committees
resolution yesterday that clearing house
certificates be authorized for use should
emergency develop for 1t was an unusual
procedure. To take such an action thus
far in advance of an emergency was I'M
doubtedly to fix a novel precedent. The
measure, however, was eminently wise
and was approved unanimously by the
bankers committee. Briefly its mean
ing is that New York banks have con-
fidence enough in the borrowing com
munity and in one another to pool their
for mercantile accommodation.
A bank which can lend no longer to
it's good customers can virtually through
the use of these certificates obtain fresh
money from all other banks and increase
its own loans to precisely this extent.
Far from being an expression Of doubt
as to the position Of smaller city banks
such an action, taken at such a tIme,
announces clearly that confidence on
this score is complete.

AN ESCAPE FROM A BAD FIRE.

What might have proved bad fire, but for the timely discovery of John Hubbell, occurred at Dicks hotel, Tues day morning about 3.30. Mir Hubbeil discovered smoke in some of the upper rooms in the hotel and made an investi- gation which revealed the location of the fire in the billis I'd room. It was the out side partition which separated the kero- sene tank from the billiard room. An alarm was given to the other members of the household and after some lively hustling they succeeded in quenching the flames. It is thought if the fire had had five minutes more headway the ho- tel would probably have been destroyed owing to the close proximity to the oil tank. The fire probably started from some one leaving a lighted pipe or cigar in the pocket of an overcoat which hung on the partition.

A LIVELY CHASE.

Three colts belonging to II. B. Coger of Huntingtown broke out of tEe yard, strayed over towards Botsford depot, and took the railroad track just ahead of the passenger train which leaves Botsford at 4.l2 p. m., one day last week. The colts were strong threc-year-olds, and made good time. Although there are five eros sings where they might have left the track and taken to the highway, they cleared every cattle guard and were not driven from the railroad until within a quarter of a mile of NewtOwn station. The engineer showed much patience, and is to be commended for not running the horses down and killing them. They made the trip of three miles without a scratch, save one, which fell into one of the cattle guards. but as quickly got out with only mark on his nose. The The horses were followed up by l.. M Johnson, who caught them with the help of Lester Coleman, C. B. Johnson and E. $. Tominson.
