TROUBLES IN SAMOA.
Real Cause of the Present Uprising
There.


There.
London, March S1-A gentleman who
resided for a long time in Samoa. has
contributed an article to the Times in
which he says that although the threat
to disarm the natives brought matters
to a crisis, the real cause of the up-
rising is the want of unanimity among
the European powers. The Germans
and the English, he adds, never worked
well together. Their mutual jealousies
have so undermined European influence
ina Samoa that no European is able to
reside with comfort or security in the
islands. The natives are simply I'M
bearable. So far from treating Euro
lpeans with respect, they expect white
man to quit the track when they meet
him. This is CALLING humiliation to
the resident, who, being colonial bred.
lis not in the habit of pampering ma
tives. The Samoans are naturally
presumptious race. They are hard to
drive, but are easily led. They have
been thoroughly pampered and demor-
lalized by the rival powers that it is an
topen question whether without serious
bloodshed anything can be done with
them. In the meantime the position of
Europeans is unenviable. Both Maletoa

SEVEN MEN ARE
DOUBTLESS DEAD.
BURIED UNDER a GAs-WREChED
BUILDING.
Structure Blown to Pieces, and the
Remnants Then Fired-Nnmber of
Victims So Far Unknown.

Alexandria, Ind, March 31-At mid
night the utmost excitement prevails
here, as a rescuing party are digging
in the ruins of building wrecked by
a gas explosion to rescue several men
who have been buried beneath the
ruins and are doubtless dead.
About o'clock tonight, the town
was startled by terrific noise. as If
a powder magazine had exploded. 1t
was occasioned by natural gas eX-
plosion in a building which accommo-
dated a barber shop and the American
Express company office. This struc-
ture was blown to pieces, and the rem
nants fired. The rear of the White
sides block was badly shattered The
actual damage to the building will
reach probably $4,000. The flames
burned fiercely and the fire alarm
brought the department to the scene,
The following were rescued by the
firemen from the ruins but more or
less injured: James Scott, William
Pyle and Henry Heard.
! There were seven men in the building
and the following doubtless killed
Harry Bouryear, Jesse HarreH, Ora
Ball. Charles Hoover
The rescuing party is working
bravely at late hour, but no hopes
are entertained that the men named
are alive.

vIGILANTEs RETURN.
UnsuccessfuI Hunt for the Cover

Florence. S. c.. March 31-The bands |
of vigflantes who started last night in
pursuit of the whisky spies, returned
this afternoon. having thoroughly
beaten the bush for the governors |
agents They passed during the night
within hailing distance of their game,
as the beaten tracks found in the morn
ing showed, but all to no purpose. The
spies are still at large and probably
safely out of reach. At night, on
horseback and on foot, the search pro-
ceeded until overcome by WEAKNESS,
the pursuers were compelled to call off
their chase.
At Muldrows mil. about seven miles
west of here, definite information of
the whereabouts of the spies was OBJ
tanned a citizen named Wild met nine
spies and one white man, supposed to
be their guard, in swamp there. He
brought an offer of surrender of the
spies to the vigilantes. who at the time
were at the mill. The pursued men
offered TO surrender their arms if given
! a guarantee of safe conduct for their
/ persons and also their liberty. The
spies, Wild says were to wait until
o'clock for reply, to be brought by
him alone. Wild returned with an
that the truce was made to gain time
to escape. The pursued men had all
gone Pursuit of them was delayed by
lack of organization and discipline in
the bands of pursuers. Every man
wanted TO have his way, so much time
was lost. a Gordon was thrown around
the swamp. finally, and men sent to
beat up the game, but daylight showed
that the spies had slipped by the guard
at a bridge and made off. The re-

vigilantes in nearby towns, where they

Washington, March S1.-The presi-
dents veto of the Bland bill has re-
suited in a proposition for nation
al convention for the west and south
to form a new political party based on
the demand for the free coinage of
silver.
The proposition comes from certain
radical Democratic congressman, who
believe the time has arrived when the
party's salvation in the west and south
demands ii should repudiate once and
forever eastern domination on financial
policies.
Western and southern Democrats
who are at the head of this movement,
declare the veto of the Bland bill shows
that the administration has set its
face toward the single gold standard.
Representative McLaurin Democrat,
of South Carolina, has taken the bold
initiative step. He has prepared the
proposition, and it will be followed, he
says, by a call signed by Democratic
silver congressman.
| Mr.. McLaurin says he has talked
with many of the southern and west
ern members of Congress, and he had
! yet to find a single Democrat who has
| not agreed with him that the time has
come when eastern financial ideas must
! be repudiated.
At first, he says, it was thought this
movement must take the form of a
convention of governors of the states
interested. but they were so wildly sep
arated, geographically. it was feared
united action could not be obtained. 1t
was, therefore, decided to call a ma
tional convention. He said that in the
fight he believed that was to follow,
the dividing line would be the Allie
lgheny mountains and the Potomac riv-
Ier-the south and west against the
east. Party lines would not necessar-
lily be drawn. Members of all parties
would be invited. The issue would
lsolely be monetary one.

New York, the anti-silver leader of the
House, says of the proposed conven-
ltion: ut is a rule or ruin proposition,
(which can not prove effective. 1t will
isimply strengthen the administration.
1t would be a queer spectacle to see
the south reject the alliance of New
York. The interests of the south de-
Ipend upon their stability to cooperate
with Democratic states of the north
Even if such movement proved eff
feotive. it could only result in dividing
the Democratic vote in the north and
giving the northern states to the Re.
publicans. The south will not jeopar,
ldize its own interest by carrying sucE
a movement very far

Evans on the Jules
burg Cut-Of.
Denver, March 31.-EX-Governor
Evans told an Associated Press re-
porter tonight that the Union Pacific
people are wrong when they report the
decision of Judges Caldwell and San
born, of the United States circuit court
at Omaha, as against the Gulf road.
He says: 1.-THE principles laid down
by the court are undoubtedly correct.
The dispute between the receivers as to
the payment due for the use of the
Julesburg cutoff, are referred to the
receivers of the respective roads for
an equitable adjustment. In case they
can not agree, the court will decide.
The Union Pacific can not afford not
to use this line, and officers of the
Northwestern say their road would OBJ
ject to their business being hauled by
way of Cheyenne. The Julesburg line
was built by the Union Pacific in order
to Shorten its line to Denver, and its
abandonment would undoubtedly give
the other eastern lines a great advan-
tage for Colorado business. The ques-
tions of the use of shops and yards are
of minor Importance, compared with
the segregation of the two properties,
and the court directs. their adjustment
in like manner, which is eminently
just and fair, during the process of
Segregation"
TH governor says his suit, in which
Mr.. TrumbulI acts as receiver, was not
only recognized, but the segregation OF
the Gulf property and its Independent
operation also. The hope of the Union
Pacific people that the Gulf road would
ever be reorganized into the Union Pa
cific system, which it's attorneys claim
is only desired to suppress competition
is effectually blighted.

INDIAN SUPPLIES.
Warehouses Both at Chicago and
New York.

Washington, March S1.-Warehouses
for supplies for the Indian service will
hereafter be located at both New
York and Chicago. This is in accord
ance with the action taken by Secretary
Hoke Smith, who decided not to abolish
the New York warehouse, but main
tain two, with locations convenient TO
both western and eastern bidders. The
competition resulting in this way will
undoubtedly result in a material reduc-
ton in the amount of disbursements
made by the department for supplies.
A protest against the proposed closing
of the warehouse was recently filed at
the department by the New York
chamber of commerce. and large
number of papers relating to the mat
ter have since been filed. The de
cision is made in a letter sent to Sec
retarv Smith to Commissioner of In
dian Affairs Browning late today. The
contract will be awarded early in June.
