department had made every effort possible
to get evidence. The advisability OF post
poning the fight as long as possible was
discussed.

any time" He then spoke as il ne expect

Colonel Deitsch, like the rest. saw bare

tion a few moments later.
II can't understand. though, why jack

he was would have been to appeal to the
police for protection as soon as he reached

COULDN'T FACE DISGRACE.

and living at 1853 Marion street, Brook.
Ign. committed suicide this morning In
Raymond street jail in the latter city.
He had been committed there in default
of $500 bail. Porter had begged Warden
Shaley not to lock hila in a cell, ON the
plea that his friends would soon bail him
out. He waited long for them to appear.
When bedtime came, still he had not
heard from them.

think they have gone back on me. Don't
look me in a celI''
We'll. won't tonight anyhow" said
the warden.
He locked the door behind him. Porter,
left alone, resolved to die. He took his
bedclothes and carefully stopped up the
cracks about the doors and windows and
then turned on the gas. So cfrefully had
he closed every crack and keyhole that

to be Found.

Chatham, Mass. January 16.-At day
light this morning the mast Of three
masted schooner was discovered protrud-
ing out Of the water to the westward of
Shovelful lighship. The vessel proved to
be the William Wilson, bound from Port

500 tons of coal. She was commanded by
Captain Mcneil and was last reported
passing through He'll Gate last Saturday
The life saving Grew which went out to
her this morning has returned having
been unable to find any trace of the crew.
1t is the general belief that the schooner
was sunk by collision with one of the
steamers which left Boston yesterday
bound south through Vineyard sound. 1t
is probable that the crew was resc ued by
the vessel which collided with the
schooner.
The William Wilson was three masted
schooner, registering 253 tons net She
was ia feet long, 20 feet breadth of beam
and II feet deep. She was built in Rock

Apia, Samoa, January l, via San Fran
cisco, January 16.-The foreign residents
of Apia are chatting under the restrictions
imposed upon them by the Berlin treaty
and have memorialized the consular repre-
sentatives of the three treaty powers
protesting against the impositions heaped
upon them by its provisions. 1t is
claimed that IS per cent of the revenue
is consumed in the payment of the sala-
ries of useless officials; that the native
Samoans, while receiving material bene-
ft from the tax fund collected from the
foreigners, contribute nothing toward
the support Of the municipality, and that
the municipal council, as at present con-
stituted, is cum bersome and unnecessary.
The petitioner. among whom are the lead
ing foreigners of all nationalities, strong
]y protest against the payment Of taxes
and duties until the local government is
reorganized and the expense of maintain
ing the same materially reduced. Unless
the concessions demanded in the petition
are granted, the. agitators threaten to
take such measures as will reduce the
source Ut revenue to such an extent that
the present establishment cannot be
maintained. As a result Of the move
ment, four out of the six members of the
municipal council have resigned. Presi-
dent Schmidt still clings to his office and
the $1,000 year salary attached thereto,
which amount is a first charge on all
taxes and duties. A certain amount Of
agitation is peroeptihle in the Aana and
Atu districts and active rebellion there is
shortly expected. A public meeting has
been called in Aana for an early date to
consider the advisability of setting up
rebel government with, presumably, Tam
assse as king. The rule of Malietoa ap-
pears to he too weak to over awe the ma
lives and the Tuamasaga clan, hitherto
loyal, are wagering in their allegiance. it
is said, and should they be represented at
