Of the party who We're camped at Halls say
that the conclusion was terrible. Cupboards
were upset, dishes thrown down and the

like many cannon hred simultaneously.
The air for miles around was filled with
sulphurous gases. The meteor came down

"HARD LINES"
Samoa's Dusky Ruler Forced to
Beg for Meat.
Lived on Friends Gifts. No Salary
for Two Years.

WASHINGTON. ID. C.. Aug. ls-The state
department. has resolved TO publish the re-
port OF james ii. Mulligan, ex-cOnsul gen
sral to Samoa, upon the government, COM
merce, products and people Of that country,
which It has hitherto held as confidential.
II will appear In the August volume Of con
sular reports now in press.
This report was submitted to the depart
ment In September, 1895, when Mr.. Mulligan,
resigned his office, and was the expression
Of his views after years stay in the coun-
try.
Introducing the subject, Mr.. Mulligan
says: "The Intervention Of the United
States in Samoan affairs and destiny marked
an unprecedented, unique epoch in her
history. 1t signalized a distinct, radical de-
parture from the policy which had grown
up with the government from its foundation.
II was the first, the only occasion upon
which she ever bound herself to maintain
the existence Of any alien power, great or
small the only time when, through the sol
emn compact of a treaty to which any other
power was a party, or in any other form.
She assumed share in the direction and
control Of the internal administration and
foreign policy Of an alien country
He explains that one reason for making
the report was the receipt by him OF a large
number OF letters Of inquiry from persons
ia the United States. "who. persuaded by
roseate and misleading reports, express
themselves as anxious to leave the United
States TO make their homes in these islands.
where they fatuitOusly suppose a living can
be- had without eXertion, and large profits
await the application Of ordinary industry
or enterprise.
As a matter OF fact, he says, the expense
of living in Samoa is two or three times as
great as in the United States Mr. Mulligau
describes the unsatisfactory working OF the
Samoan government, under the treaty.
Mr.. Alulligan says that previous to the
early part Of last year. the king had been
paid nothing for nearly two years. during
which time he subsisted on such gifts as his
kindred and adherents might offer. He
was. in fact. paupe".
Mr.. MUlligan IS convinced that so far as
the United States is really concerned. the
entire question Of Samoa ia centered in the
harbor OF rago Pago. The harbor has not
been ccded to the United States. he says: il
possesses only a concession for specific
purpose. hut he argues that it should Ice
maintained that whatever value, in a naval
Au.nt Of view, Samoa possessed when the
treaty OF Washington was formulated. that
importance has since been increased many
times over.

BERKSHIRE HOME.
Arrangements for The Honeymoon
OF Young Whitney and His Bride.

NEW YORK, Aug. ls-William @. Whit
ney has arranged a modern Utopia In which
his son. Henry Payne Whitney, and Gertrude
Vanderbilt are % spend their honeymoon.
Within the last two DAYS Mr.. Whitney has
completed, through an agent, the purchase
OF nearly 5000 acres Of land In the heart OF
the Berkshire hills, eight miles from the ex-
elusive summer resort Of Lenox Mass.
The cost OF the property is said to have
been more than $500, 600 and on il the ex-sec-
retary intends TO erect one Of the finest sum-
mer homes in the United States. He has
upward OF 200 workmen engaged on the
place at present, and 1t will be ready for the
reception of young Mr.. and Mrs. Whitney
ON the day Of their marriage Aug 25.
Owing to the short time between now and
the wedding the grounds buildings and
surroundings cannot be put in proper condi-
tion, but the bridal couple and the friends
who accompany them. will spend the few
remaining weeks Of the heated term in the
open air.
A number Of tents are being constructed,
and under these Mr.. Whitney his family,
and the young benedict, his bride and their
companions will remain until well on in Sep
tember. Places are being built for the
accommodation Of the servants, and a mod
est, temporary house is being constructed
for the use Of the family and their guests in
case Of inclement weather.

Prof Fay Tells Story of Philip 5.
Abbot's Death.


TAMW0RTH, n. H., Aug. 1s-Prof
Charles +. Fay, of TUFTS college, VINO was
with Philip 8. Abbot, of Cambridge, when he
h S f foSeRss eR R0Hgnt2P g s suef fRnE Eoe IL ths m
this village. The story OF the death of the
young mountain climber while trying to
ascend Mt. LEROY has already been told in
The Globe. 1t will, however, be interesting
to hear detailed account OF the ascent and
the fall of young Abbot from one of the
party.
Before telling his story Prof Fay said he
wished to impress the fact that Mr.. Abbot
was one Of the most expert mountain climb
ers in America. The accident, he said, was
one that might have happened on any crag-
gy mountain. Such a mishap might befall
IA person even at Mt. Desert
The exploration TRIP in which the party
was engaged ut the time of Mr.. Abbot 5
death was to have extended about 10 days
longer, and to have included a tract OF about
- miles on the eastern side of the con
tnental divide. The ascent of Mt. Balfoul
Vas also to have been made.
The death of Mr.. Abbot" said the pro-
fessor. was undoubtedly caused by injuries
received in the initial fall of perhaps 30 feet.
OF the subsequent descent ON the ice slope,
Of 900 feet, which has been made so prom
inent in all the reports. he was doubtless
unconscious. and far from being terrible
circumstance, it should be considered rather
in the light of Il blessing. Otherwise ii
would have been necessary for the surviving
members OF the party to descend over what
then would have become most dangerous
way, bearing with them the nearly lfeless
body of their unfortunate friend.
"the locality in which the accident hap.
pened may in most minds strengthen al
opinion Of the inherent dangerousness oi
Alpine ascen,s. None of Mr. Abbot's com.
ranions after deliberate consideration regard
this accident in such light, while so far as
the peril Of the ascent of Mt. LEROY is con-
cerned, they would not hesitate under SINH
lar competent leadership to undertake tC
reach its summit by the same route"

Decree Has Gone Forth from Paris
tothe Women OF the World.

NEW YORK, Aug l8.-Amercan women
IF fashion will have to decide serious
mestion when they come to have their fall
Gowns fitted. The edict has gone forth
rom the fashion makers of Paris, who regu-
ate the style for the women of the world,
hat the female waist measure must be in
.rrased by three or four inches. Whether
)r not they shall obey the edict is the ques
ion that fashionable women will have to de-
tide.
cable letter from London brought the
1rst news of the new fashion to the states.
If was then stated Paris makers had decided
he generous Grecian waist to be the stand
ard of the future
The reason for this marked departure
from the custom of years is found first in
tbe warnings of medical men against lacing,
which they have iterated and reiterated
from a time to which the memory Of women
runneth not to the contrary. Then, too, the
bieycle has helped to briug about condi-
tion of affairs, or rather OF waists, which
alone, the doctors could never have done.

Alabama Case Taken as Afrording
Precedent For Spain.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Aug. IS The
Spanish government is preparing to enter a
claim for damages against the United States
for permitting the departure Of lllibustering
expeditions from the ports OF this country.
This claim is intended as an offset TO the
demands made by the United States for the
payment of indemnity for injuries inflicted
upon American citizens in Cuba, and the
basis for It is presented in legal argument
prepared by Calderon Carlisle, the legal al

Bare Feet in the City.

Thousands OF men in most promi-
nent positions in the business world
and the literary world of the metrop-
oils had memories of youth brought
up to them by the plaintive appeal of
Kneipp Verein No. l to the park de-
partment for the setting apart of some
grassplot where they can be allowed
to walk barefoot in the dewy morning
or evening. Country boys know the
delights ol going barefoot To them
Sunday is day OF discomfort, because
it means shoes and stockings. They
could stand Sunday school and long
sermons, alone, much easier. The
foot that has felt the delightful sensa-
tion of the dew.wet grass in
summers twilight; that has pressed
the soft loan in the plow furrow; that
has learned to harden itself against
gravel and close-mown meadows and
rye stubble, finds only torture in the
weekly donning of the Indispensable
foot gear of the city child. To the
farmers boy the date when warm
weather enables him to go barefoot is
watched and waited for, and the date
when shoes become necessary is Que
to be put off as long as possible. The
country lad doesn't take the Kneipp
cure. For him an ounce of preyen-
tion is worth pound Of cure. His
health, however, is a continuous vindi-
cation OF the kneipp principle.
Such country boys of the past fur

wear shoes now and stockings. Some
of them are even credited with silk
stockings But there isn't one of
them who doesn't look back to the
barefoot period as one which brought
to him the happiest days and the most
restful nights he has ever enjoyed.
There are barefooted boys in the
city, too, but not boys who are bare
foot by preference. Even the little
sellers of newspapers get shoes when
they can afford such IA luxury, and wear
them even in summer. On North

poor children who are burdened with
shoes and stockings in hot weather.
The stockings may be in rags and the
shoes bit nebular as to their soles,
but both are worn, apparently, as
badge of the respectability of the
parents. AS for grown people, the
police would be very likely to arrest
them for improper exposure of the
person in case they appeared barefoot
on Commonwealth avenue.
Yet it is hard to see why the expos
ure of the foot should be auv worse

even the police of Boston have yet ar
