Lady Tryon Gives Testimony of
Her Great Grief.

LONDON, Aug. 12.-Lady Tryon
has given eloquent testimony of her
intense grief at the knowledge that
the Victoria disaster was due to her
husbands error by declinisg pen
sion of e600 yearly, to which she
is entitled as an admiral's widow.
She had previously offered it to
the trustees of the Victoria relief
fund, but it was not accepted, as
the fund exceeded the amount re-

Admiral st. John, arrived here to-
day from Malta, having on board

toria, which was recently sunk in
collision with the warship Camper
down. The stories of these surviv-
ors added little if anything to what
was already known.

Jockey Club Meeting.

A meeting of the jockey club
will be held at the Pacific club
this evening at I 80. A number of
applications for membership will
be brought up, and it is to be
hoped that all the applicants will be
admitted. From all reports the
club is in need of some new and
active members, to the end that it
may be able to make more progress
and become a more popular organi-
cation. Some work has already
been done on the track, but the
present scarcity of water will pre-
vent some improvements that were
intended to be made. The entries for
the September meeting will close
on Wednesday, and judging from
the number likely to be made, secre-
tary Berger will be kept quite busy
on that day.

Mormon Converts.
Elders James S. Brown and
Edward Sudbury of the Mormon
church of latter day saints have
arrived here from the Society islands,
where they have been missionaries
among the natives for some time.
Elder Brown is an old man, and he
went to Tahiti twenty years ago, but
was driven out. He thought there
was such necessity for the island
ers to be converted, however, that he
went back again.
We now have ten missionaries in
these islands," said Elder Sudbury
last night, g. of whom half are in the
Pomots group. The natives take
kindly to the Mormon religion, and
we are converting them by hundreds.
La some places whole islands have
been converted.
IS Yes, we teach plurality of wives
among them. We have special in
terest In them because we claim they
are branch of the Lamanites, who
were expelled from Jerusalem just
before the destruction of that city.
They and the Indians we have ascer-
tanned are both remnants of very
ancient peoples of the holy land and
this is why we are striving so with
them.
''Out on the island of Raiatea tie
natives are fighting. About half of
them don't like the French rule
They are keeping in the wild sec

everywhere, they can live there as
well as in the vicinity of Papete.
The French are not very active in
suppressing them, aud the rebels
have it all their own way.

tending to stay as a missionary and
spend the remainder Of my life
there, but L couldu't stand what
there was to eat and got

which was my main diet. and then [

de Barboles, brother of the duke OF
Veragua, in regard to the PROPOSE
ton in the United States to collect

TRUSTEES MEET
Dir. Swanzy Talks 10 Them on
the Japanese Labor Question.


The trustees of the Planters
Labor and Supply Co., met in the
Office of w. o. Smith on Saturday
afternoon for the purpose of receiv-
ing and hearing the report of Mr..
Swanzy, who has just returned
from a lengthy visit to Japan.
During his absence Mr.. Swanzy
devoted a great deal of time and
attention to the study of the Japa-
nese labor question, and familiar
lied himself with the workings of
every branch of it. Mr.. Swanzy
gave the trustees the benefit of his
experiences, and his remarks were
listened to with much interest.
From all he could gather Mr..
Swanzy inclined to the belief that
the recent demand made upon the
planters here for an increased
amount of money in connection
with the transportation and deliv-
cry of contract Japanese laborers,
was somewhat of a political nature.
He further stated that Japan was
full of politics just at the present
time, and the demand mentioned
owed it's existence to that fact, and
was advocated for the purpose of
gaining political influence among
the japanese laboring classes. No
official business was transacted at
the meeting.
