SAMOAN ATROCITIES.
The Natives Are at War and White Men
Are Alarmed.

Auckland, March 30.-The steamer AL
ameda, from San Francisco. March 9, az
rived here today. She brings news of
disturbances in Samoa which threaten
serious consequences unless soon checked
The trouble, which has assumed the
proportions of a war, grew out of the
action of the new supreme judge, Ide,
in imposing fines upon some of the minor
chiefs for disorderly conduct and imprls-
oning and compelling them to work on
the public roads in default of the pay
ment of the fines. The followers of the
chiefs arose in arose in armed rebellion
against these indignities to their leaders
and demanded their immediate release.
An attempt was made to disarm the re-
bellious natives, but they stoutly denied
the right of Europeans or other foreign
ers to interfere in their affairs and re-
fused to lay down their arms. The
chiefs. who had been obliged to do de-
grading work, eagerly led their willing
followers toward the achievement of re-
venge for their degradation, and King
Malietoa finally sent body OF troops to
attack the rebels.
The government troops had several en-
gagements with the rebellious bands, in
which 30 of the rebels were killed, about
so wounded and number made prison
ers. The government troops also suffered
70 the extent of dozen or more killed
and many wounded. In the series of
fights the government won. The king s
troops celebrated their victory by mutt
lating one of their prisoners in most
horrible manner. The next day they
treated another poor wretch in the same
wav, and finally they made an unprovok-
ed attack upon one of the defenceless
villages of their late adversaries. With
nothing to oppose them, they indulged
in most frightful atrocities. Houses
were burned, women were outraged and
then killed, and the dead bodies behead-
ed and finally cut into small pieces and
the maddened soldiers of the king de-
sisted only when there was nothing left
to destroy and nobody left to kill.
Meanwhile the other chiefs rebelled
against the action of Judge Ide and the
support given to him by King Malietoa,
and the cry of death to foreigner"
spread throughout the islands. The
United States, British and German con-
suls are making every effort to quell the
disturbances and restore the normal
condition of things, but the hopeless
ness of their task unaided is apparent,
and the arrival of warship is awaited
with anxiety.

cent Bystander Among the Victims.
Columbia, S. c., March 30.-News has
been received from Darlington of a fight
today between citizens and the state
constabulary at the depot as the consta-
bles were about leaving. Constables Per-
TOR and McLendon and citizeus Norman
and L. S. Redmon were killed. A de-
spatch to the Governor from Florence in
the same county says the people have
seized the rifles of the troops in the ar
mory and are waiting to attack the con-
stables when they reach that place. Gov
ernor Tillman has ordered out the Co
lumbia and Manning militia.
Three Columbia companies of the
state troops disbanded under the great
pressure brought to bear on them rather
than obey the Governors orders to go
to Darlington. Excitement in conse-
quence is at fever heat.
4 special from Darlington says:
''One hundred and fifty men are scour-
ing the woods for the constables who are
armed with Winchesters and will fight
for their lives. The Darlington Guards
are under arms, endeavoring to preserve
the peace, but the trouble has outgrown
their control. The sheriff is powerless
under threats of death by the citizens if
he interferes and has subsided. Mr..
Norman, who was killed, had taken no
part in the riots and was a bystander.'
Tonight in Columbia threats Iare being
made against the Governor and of burn
ing the dispensaries. At this hour, the
constables are said to be sur
rounded in the swamp at Darlington. A
slaughter is expected at day light
Later-Constable brennan, one of
three who left Darlington by the Charles
ton, Sumpter and Northern railroad, is
now in Columbia. He reports to the
Governor that his detachment was fired
on by mob as the train was pulling
out.

Daniel of Virginia is perhaps the
handsomest man in the United States
Senate, for he has patrician face and
clear cut features that remind one of
Booth. PETER is the most striking in
appearance for he is as tall as telegraph
pole and his whiskers grow to an un-
natural length beneath small narrow
head. Dolphsand Stewart are both fine
looking men with white hair and boards
of the same color and are strikingly
similar in appearance. Brice is small
and dark. Black burn is man of fine
appearance and so is Wolcott of Colorado.

OUT GO THE STRIKERS.
PULLMAN COMPANY WILL EVICT
ITS OLD employees.
One Thousand Starving Families
Will Be Homeless Move to
Force Strikers to Return.

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-Vice President
Wickes says the Pullman company has
decided to evict its striking tenants for
non-payment of rent and to make room
for the new men. The announcement
created great excitement among the
strikers, as the men had believed that
the company would not dare to take
radical measures. As to when the evic-
tious will begin Mr.. WickeS refused to
say.
This will be death blow 20 the
tenants who are strikers. They have
no money and very little food. When
their scant supplies of household fur
niture are set out on the broad streets
by the constables 1t will be impossible
for them to move it away. Even now
they cannot afford to buy pound of
coal to cook the raw potatoes they get
from the relief committee. The pros
poets are gloomy, indeed, for the pov-
erty-Stricken occupants of the compa-
uy's Oarrack-like rowsAot houses. Any
striking tenant who wants to return to
work will be left in his house, but in
side of two days the remaining 600
places will be filled, and those tenants
who cannot go back - even If they
wished to-will be left out in the cold.
The outlook for the present population
of the model town is not full of cheer.
In fact. it is positively desperate
George NJ. Pullman is back from
Castle Rest and Newport, but he de-
clines to be interviewed. He arrived
his morning and later had conference
with WickeS, presumably in regard to
evictionS OF strikers.

HILL THROWS A BOMB
Sensational Move on the Part
Of the New York Sem
atop on Tariff.
TRIES TO FORCE A RUPTURE
And Secure the Recall
Of the Bill From
Conference.
TRIES TO FORCE A RUPTURE
DEMOCRATS STOOD UNITED
And Prevented the Coup
Lively Session Ex-
pected Today.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10.-This was
the first day in the senate since the
tariff was sent second time to confer
ence that there was any unusual inter-
est in the proceedings. Senator Hill,
who has been the central figure in sew
eral dramatic scenes during the tariff
debate, was again in the van of the fray.
His resolution directing the tariff con-
feIeeS to report the difficulties aud
cause of failure to agree was a senSa
ton. 1t was almost adopted before the
senators fully realized its Importance.
The conferees were aware of it, and
were willing il should be adopted. BY
parliamentary tactics
Vote Was Prevented
oD the resolution either as presented by
Senator Hill or in the form urged by
Senator Aldrich. Enough was de-
veloped, however, to show the temper of
the senate conferees. Senator Vest
hoped that 1t would pass. so that the
calcium light might be turned on"
and he be given an opportunity to re-
fute the infamous lies that have been
told about the cOufereeS on the part of
the senate. Senator Harris was willing
that the conference should have an
airing, but wanted it done in strict
parliamentary way. Senators Villas,
Gray, Pasco and others desired that
action be postponed. The conserya-
tive senators were so anxious that
the conferees should tell all upon
this point, they for time followed the
lead of Mr.. Hill. By skillful manage
ment those who did not want rupture
at once prevented the impending con-
f1ict. At 2 o'clock the resolution went
over, and the Republican managers, who
were assisting to make trouble saw that
the Democrats were uuiting to prevent
the storm, and would not risk another
vote in order to keep the resolution be-
fore the senate. The remainder of the
session was devoted to the considera-
ton of the Chinese treaty. The senate
adjourned at 4:30 p. III. until tomorrow,
although the peacemakers endeayored
to have no session until Monday. The
prospects are that tomorrow will be a
lively day.

PASS THE BILL OR ADJOURN.
Hill Says Congress Should Give the
Country Rest.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 10,-In explana-
ton Of his course today, Senator Hill
said:
my object in Offering the resolution
was to expedite the disposition of the
tariff measure. Every days delay is in-
furious to the business interests of the
country, and the bill should be disposed
of at once one way or the other. 1t has
now been under consideration in con-
ference committee for over a month,
and further delay is absolutely mex
cusable. The conterees ought to know
each others minds by this time, and, if
they cannot agree, the fact of such dis
agreement should be reported to the two
houses, when, if no understanding can
be reached upon bill, congress should
promptly adjourn and give the country
a rest. We have now been in ses-
ion for nearly whole year and nave
had ample opportunity to legisiate. A
senator or member who does not know
exactly what he wants to do on the
tariff question after all this time spent
in useless deliberation, is unfit to repre-
sent any constituency.
1--WE have deliberated enough. We
want action. Let the two houses take
the bill out of the hands of their con-
ference committee and proceed to vote
at once upon the disagreeing provis-
ions, and if no agreement can be
reached let the whole matter 60 over
until the next session, and let congress
adjourn to give the business interests of
the country chance to recuperate from
the present depression.
Congress must arouse from its leth-
argy and should act in accordance with
public sentiment, and not in defiance of
it. Either pass the tariff bill at once or
adjourn, or go home. These are my
sentiments, and believe they are the
sentiment of nine-tenths of the people
of bOtn parties"

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10.-Yesterday
the, governor of Virginia notified the

collected there. The purpose of Gov.
OFerrell became known TO the COXeys

They declared they would resist the

reception. As some of these Coxey-
ties were among those who caused
the disturbances in the West when
the "industrial' movements were be.
gun. it is anticipated thar conflict may
occur.
A company of the Virginia militia left
Richmond this evening on q spe-
cial train, aud arrived at Alex

intorced by sixty members Of
the Alexandria light infantry. 1t is IN.

projects for government exhibit to
cost S2OO,0OO at the Atlanta exposition
and to give each of the arid land states
1000, 600 acres of arid lands to encouf-
aye the reclamation of their deserts,

sundry civil bill. The former furnished
opportunity for patriotic speeches from
the NorIhernerS on reunited country,
and an enthusiastic majority voted TO
instruct the house cOnterees to support
a substitute having practically the same
effect as the amendment.
A minority of the Democrats opposed
the appropriation on constitutional
grounds, and the Georgia representa-
tives retrained from pushing the matter,
but left Atlanta in the hands Of her
friends. No decision was reached upon
the arid land project. SO that the con-
ference report on the sundry CIVIL. Dill
