CARTHAGE Ill.), May 2S.-The Rov.
and Mrs. Rand of this city have for some
years acted as missionaries in the Caro-
line Islands. They returned home from
those islands few days ago. They ex-
pect in a short time to lay before the
American Board of Commissioners of
Foreign Missions at Boston the full state
ments of the wrongs done them and the
natives.
This board, under whose auspices Mr..
and Mrs. Rand went to Ponapi in 1874, is
acquainted with the main facts leading up
to the troubles on these islands. The
world in general has not known of these
outrages in detail, and Mr.. Rand has
made them generally public for the first
time
In 1887 Spain sent Governor Possidilio
to the islands to assume charge. He be-
gan to make slaves of the natives, reqGir-
ing them to work constantly andNto fur
nish their own food.
In September, l8S9 Spain sent REIN
forcements to the islands under COM
mand of a new Governor, Carrossa. Car
rossa, learning that King Paul of the
Metabilim tribe had not proposed TO sub
tive villages shelled and general on
slaught on the islands.
The missionaries were notified that
they should no longer teach and that they
must go away or suffer the consequences.
Consequently the American missionaries
boarded the missionary ship, the Morn
ing Star, and went to the Island of MolxiI.
In the meantime the Spanish ships
opened fire on the native villagers, pour
ing constant rain of shells and bullets
into the huts of the natives. phis war
fare was kept up for three days, and the
natives were assailed by land troops.
But only three natives were killed in
this battle, while the Spanish Loss was
300
This was the last battle between Spain
and the natives. and since then Spain has
been endeavoring to compel the stubborn
tribes TO yield to that power. King Paul,
who is much of Christian, says he will
never yield to Spain. MIR. Rand says his
return to the islands will depend alto
gether upon what action is taken in the
matter by the Government Of the United
States and the action of Spain.

PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS.

The Senate Spends Eight Hours Dis
cussing the Lumber Schedule.
WASHINGTON, May -S.-The Senate
spent eight hours to-day discussing the
question of free lumber. Not vote was
taken. The tariff bill places lumber in
the rough on the free list. The debate to-
day was on Hale's proposition to transfer
lumber to tho dutiable list at the rates
fixed by the Mckinley law.
Senators Frye and Hale of Maine. Per-
kins of California and Mitchell and Dolph
of Oregon, which States are mostly af-
fected, occu pied the major portion of the
time in the support of Hale's amendment.
1t is probable the lum Der paragraphs
will be disposed of tomorrow. Sugar,
upon which the hardest fighting will oc-
cur, comes up tomorrow.
Walsh. the new Senator from Georgia.
delivered a carefully prepared speech to-
day. Referring to the remark of Hoar in
a recent speech, that the South was en-
deavoring to ruin the industries of New
England sto get even for Appomattox :,
Walsh declared that the people of Georgia
had no hostilities whatever. He dwelt
upon Georgia's extraordinary resources
in produce and manufacturing facilities,
and submitted tabluated statements OF
the Comptroller-Genera of Georgia show
ing the increase in taxable values for the
past fifteen years, showing a net increase
of S130.9 ,49l. The Senators from the
South, he said, are asking this body to
simply carry out the pledges made by
the Democratic party to reform the tariff.
The South tavors the income tax, not from
sectional or partisan motives, but be-
cause it is equitable and right. 1t is
believed to be right not only in the
INxrfI lot
The Wilson bill as amended in the Sen
ate was compromise. 1t will be so con-
strued and accepted by the majority of
the American people who elected Presi-
dent Cleveland and put the Democratic
party in power. In reference to the
silver question he said: while it is de-
sirable to secure the demonetiZation of
silver by international agreement, still if
the opportunity offered itself, he would
not hesitate to vote for free coinage, with
or without international agreement, be-
lieving the immense resources and pro-
ductive energies of this country would
enable our Government to sustain it on a
parity with gold aud compel recognition
from the enlightened Governments OF
Europe" Mr.. Walsh also favored the re-
peal of the tax on State bank circulation.
At 5:45 the Senate went into executive
session and shortly afterward adjourned.

Resolution Relating to Russia'S Re-
fusal to Admit Rabbi Krauskopf.
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Resolutions to
be submitted by Representative Raynor
of Maryland in the House tomorrow
will recite that the Russian Government
has denied admission to that country to
Rabbi krauskopf, an eminent Hebrew
ecclesiastic of Philadelphia, and this action
by Russia is a breach of the treaty which
gives American citizens the right to en-
Ter, sojourn and travel in Russia, the
same as Russian citizens are admitted to
this country.
The resolution will direct the State De-
partment TO ask Russia for full observ-
ance of the treaty, and in case of refusal
will direct the severance of all treaty
relations with Russia.
Mr.. Raynor says the case of DR.. Klaus
kopt presents the first issue of the treaty
rights of Americans to enter Russia.
There have been other Congressional
resolutions concerning Jews, but they
have related to Russian Jews coming to
this country. Mr.. Raynor now presents
the question of the treaty right of an
American going to Russia without refer
ence to religion or former nationality.
The proposed visit of DR.. Krauskopf was

| WASHINGTON, May 29.-In the armor
plate investigation to-day Captain Samp-
son, in ex planning the manner of taking
samples, said an employe of the Carnegie
works took the samples and subjected
them to machine tests. The Carnegie
employees called off the results of the tests
and the Government inspector took the
figures as called Off. In other words"
said Captain Cummings. 'the Govern
ment tests were made by the Carnegie
employees, with Carnegie machine, and
were accepted as conclusive by the Gov
ernment." Captain Sampson says this is
customary the world over.
1.-THE testing machines had dial upon
| which the Government inspector might
see that the checking-off was correct.
The thirteen-inch plates of the Monterey
have numerous blow-holes, with the
knowledge of the departments. The
plates were hurriedly made in 1892. and
will not be accepted now. The Monterey
plates were the first made. The Chilean
trouble was pending, and the Govern
ment was deSirous of hurrying forward
| the work"
Chairman Cummings asked specific
details as to why steel armor cost more
than steel rails.
Captain Sampson said the Bethlehem
works had spent $4,000 on their first
plant. 1t was largely an experiment.
Steel was a simple process. The making
of steel armor was an intricate process of
manufacture.
Chairman Cummings-"Did ycu un-
earth any testimony locating any of the
| Irregularities on Superintendent
| Schwab?o
IN OF directly" said Captain Sampson.
"But from the circumstances of the case
it was impossible that he should not have
known OF the Irregularities"
Had he been removed?'
"His position has been changed" re-
| piled the witness.
"But he keeps position with the COM
pany?" asked Representative Money.
81 understand he will be removed"
said the witness.
| Captain Sampson negatived the charges
that plates of defective sizes and shapes
had been use in the armor plate. The de-
partment had affidavits of Mr.. Brown as
TO serious defects.

times on his opponents face. They were
easy, and did not matter. Godfrey missed

inch, and the pair sat down.

A Counterfeiter Arrested.

CITY OF MEXICO, May 28.-A sensation
has been created here over the arrest at
Ciudad Juarez of Clement Xiceri, an
employe of the Custom-house at that
place. Xiceri has always borne an ex-
cellent reputation until his arrest. He is
charged with being implicated in the ex-
tensive scheme of counterfeiting and cir
culating 50-cent revenue stamps. This
was one OF the greatest swindles ever at
tempted in Mexico, and caused much un-
