with train load OF silver ore. He declares
that the silver mining of the northwest

that the situation is gradually improving,
and that thousands of miners will be at
work month later who are now out of
work. The railroads OF this section are
making a special effort to encourage this

having planted or looked after their
crops, and they had taken 10 stealing
from the foreigners throughout the is
lands. Their manner OF living, too, had
produced great deal OF illDess, much
suffering and many deaths, so that in the
interest of humanity interference by
foreign powers became necessary. An
ultimate demand wac sent to notify the
rebels that they must disperse from the
fortified stronghold at Latuannua or sui

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Chairman Will
son left yesterday for West Virginia to be
present at the congressional convention
OF bis district today. His denomination
is conceded without opposition. Wilson
said before leaving: "The outlook for
genuine tariff reform wss very bright.
We have taken the first step. That was
the hardest and having done it perfectly,
1t will be easy to proceed to the full real
ization Of tariff reform.
The great struggle has been to secure
recognition of principles rather than
perfection of detail. Detail must come,
by force of circumstances now that the.
principle is obtained"
What is there in the assertion that
the resumption of tariff agitation next
winter will bring recurrence of. the
business unrest was asked him.
That's wholly unwarranted," said
Mr.. Wilson. There need be no general
bill reaching all the industries 90 that
legislation will not be such as to Offset
commercial affairs generally. Tariff
rates will remain stable on a very great
majority of articles and it will be upon
comparatively few that the presentation
OF detail will be necessary in order that
She tariff reform placed on the statute
books shall be considered WHOLE"

AUCKLAND, Aug. 29.-Fighting still con-
Times in Samoa. Advices from Apia say
accounts have reached there of battle at

went into the bush in search of food :,
when one of their number etrayed some
distance from the main body was set up
on by three of the rebels, who promptly
shot and decapitated hin, managing TO es-
cape through the bush.
The attacking party OF rebels at Tuanii
consisted OF p force of 200 men, which
was led by Tamasese. They evidently
did not expect to meet with resistance; in
fact, they bad burned down ten or twelve
houses before their presence was known
to the few governor supporters, who
rushed to the attack, the rebels retreating
as quickly az possible, no doubt imagin-
ing there was much larger force opposed
TO them. In addition to the two men
killed two we're wounded, whose wounds
were attended to at the London Mission
station at Mslus.
Another ecare occurred through re-
porl ptlhe pi""Shl W hpih ny Hai
caste that large party of the rebels,
headed by Alipa, was at Aele. Two par
ties OF the government troops went out,
but we're unsuccessful in finding the
enemy. A report also reached town that
fight had taken place at Falelatai, in
the course of which some OF the govern.
ment supporters were killed. The rebels
occupy position above their opponents
and frequently amuse themselves by fir

Various Topics WIN be Discussed.
New York, Aug. 30.-There has been
call for meeting of all who are inter
ested in Southern development, to be
held in Washington today and as nearly
two thousand invitations have been sent
to boards OF trade, business men, and
various commercial bodies, a large
gathering is anticipated.
The call is the outcome of a general
desire to lave full representative meet
ing. The Augusta, Ga, meeting cleared
the way, the New York meeting was
called on too short notice to bring to-
gether full representation, and the gem
eral conceDsus OF opinion OF those who
were there was that what was then done
without an opportunity for discussion
would be fully considered at future
convention.
Among the subjects to be discussed
will be a government building in Wash
ington for the permanent exhibit OF the
resources of the United States, as pro-
posed in the bill introduced by Senator
Walsh. The relations OF railroad trans
portation to the development of the South
will be considered by prominent railroad
officials. Leading scientists and experts
will outline their views on the present
status OF the development of the mineral
resources of this section. Various other
topics OF an equally interesting character
will be talked about, and the objects
aimed at is to secure short, condensed
and carefully prepared papers on these
subjects from a business standpoint,
which may serve as basis of discussion
by the convention. Short speeches will
be insisted upon, and no political discus-
sion will be allowed.

AS TO SIR JULIAN PAUNCEFoRrE,
Renewal and Denial of tho Rumor That
He Is to Go to Turkey

Renewal and Denial of tho Runnor That
He Is to 90 to Turkey.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3l.-The departure
of Sir Julian Psunceforte, the British
ambassador, who sailed from New
York recently for four months alb
sence in Europe has started another
report that he is TO be Transferred to
the Turkish mission and will not re-
turn to the United States. II is not be.
lieved in well.informed quarters in Wash
ington that any change is to be made in
British Embassy here. At the State de
partment tho report is dismissed with
the statement that there are certain rea
sons relating to the official business OF
the Department and the British Embassy,
which make it extremely unlikely that
he will BIO transferred for some time to
come. At the same time it is learned
that Sir Julian has made official appoint.
ments here for next January.
Several important matters now the
subject of negotiations between the two
nations have been turned over by Sir
Julian to the secretary of the embassy,
William A. Goschen, who will act as
Charge d'Affaires during the ambassa-
doris absence. The most important Of
these is the proposition which has been
made by the United States looking to
the abrogation or amendment OF the
treaty OF Berlin concerning Samoan af-
fairs, convention by which the United
States entered into tripartite agree
ment with Great Britain and Germany
to preserve the autonomy CT the Samoan
Islands and at the same time 10 super
wise the Samoan government through
the agency of chief justice responsible
to the three powers aud compensated
equally by them. The treaty has proved
an entangling alliance of very annoy
ing character, and negotiations are on
foot to abrogate it in such a way as to re-
lieve the United States from any respon-
sibility for the government Of the islands
and at the same time to guarantee AIDE
quate protection to the lives and property
of American residents.
Mr.. Groschen will also be charged with
the correspondence with the state de-
partment concerning the delicate situa-
ton in the Mosquito reservation, and he
will conduct the negotiations, now almost
concluded, for the settlement of the
claims Of the Canadian sealers under the
decision OF the Paris tribunal of arbitra-

FREE GRAIN BAGS.
A Big Saving to the Farmers OF the Pacific
Coast.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 31.-It ia esti
mated that free grain bags will mean a
saving Of 1919 900 per year to the Califor-
MIA farmers. The new tariff vent into
effect too late this year to make much of
a showing, however. The annual demand
fer grain sacks is about $4,000, 600 Of
which California uses 24,oo0 COO The
importation is about 26, COO, 600 and Of the
remaining 5000, 0o0, 1000 900 have been
produced at the San Quentin prison and
2 COZ, 900 at the California jute mills. The
latter has closed down and it 10
claimed that its plant, valued at $250,000
has been rendered useless by the free
importation of bags. The average duty
has been So cents per bag and that will
now be saved to the farmers. Since the
enactment of the new law the price of
bags has dropped from Ga cents to ga
cents.
