CoXey left for Chicago. as he said to
sell some of his horses. There were
fears expressed that he would not re-
turn, but when Columbiana was

loads of provisions and two of wood
were provided. Leetonia added %
coopers to the ranks, and SO men,
mostly from the East Liverpool pot
teries, later joined fortunes Column
biana had club of SO CoXeyites, but
the most of them backed out. The
leaders say the outlook is steadily
growing brighter.
New Galilee was the first town
reached in Pennsylvania. Beaver Falls
next entertained the army. AS they
got farther from their starting point
their reception was more cordial and
better entertainment was provided.

added at the two towns and 10 men

Serious Trouble In Samoa.

Washington special: The state de-
partment has received cablegram
from Mr.. Blackjack, at Apia, Samoa,
fully confirming the news of native
uprising. 1t was caused by Henry Ide,
the American chief justice, who is
charged with fining and throwing into
the Jail the chiefs of the rival factions
in Samoa and wiNl compelling them to
work on the roads like convicts of the
lowest order.
The dispatch states that the rebels
are under the command of the old
leader, Tamasese, who gave so much
trouble to the king last year. The
rcigning sovereign, King Malietoa,
seems to have remained thoroughly
loyal to the chief justice for, upon
being called upon to do so, he promptly
sent a strong force of his Samoan war
riors to attack the rebels. Several
sharp encounters between King Male
toa's warriors and the natives com
manded by the rebellious chiefs fol-
lowed. During these engagements &c
men were killed and about so were
wounded.
The foreign population of Samoa is
in n state of great uneasiness as the
natives are making all kinds of threats
against foreigners and the arrival of a
warship of some nation is anXiously
awaited.

creased former majorities.

ticket. Democrats secured 2 of IL

everything but recorder and two alder
men. Mayor Crulnp, Rep, reelected
in West Bay City, also rest of ticket
Republican. Battle Creek Republican
straight. One supervisor and two aid
ermen TO the Democrats at Kalamazoo.
Jackson in with the Republicans with
the exception Of two supervisors. The
Democrats of Eaton Rapids elected the
larger portion of their ticket. Ann
Arbor Republican solid. Sault Ste.
Marie straight Democratic. Lansing's
executive and three assessors are Re
publican, the rest of the lucky ones
Democrats. Iouia gave the Republic
cans much encouragement, being a
Democratic town ,and electing a Re
publican ticket with the exception of
two aldermen, one supervisor and one
constable. And thus it goes through
the entire state as usual in the spring
election, local interests being more
to the fore in many places than party
principles The republicans point with
pride to Jackson, Pontiac, Ionia, Alpena

to the Democratic side while the Re-
publicans are satisfied with claiming
