TAHITI DEF|ES FRANCE
NATIVES HAVE A COMBAT WITH
FRENCH SAILORS.
Villages Shellcd by Two Warships-
Seventeen Natives Killed-Prospects
for a New Mail Line.

For two years past the natives on
the islands of Raiatea and Tahaa, de-
tendencies of the Tahiti Government,
have refused to recognize French auth
ority, saws the San Francisco Chron-
icle of the 21st ult. News from Ia
hiti by the Galilee is that on Decem-
Der Goth last Governor Gale left Pa
peete on board the French corvette
Duguay-Trouan with the transport
Aube to punish these people. n force
of Tahitian volunteers, marine infan-
try from New Caledonia and Papeete
with sailors from the war ships were
the combatants.
Ultimatums to submit to the French
authority were sent to the chiefs of
the various villages, and provisions in
cluded in these documents detailing
the desire of the Governor to remove
the rebels from their native birthplace
to other islands. The responses to
these demands were curious. One chief
received the documents and did not re-
plv, one was unable to understand,
one received the envelope and did not
open it. while another, the Chieftain-
ess of Avera, refused to obey the Gov
ernor as she did not know him.
The bombardment of Tahaa village
was effected by the war ships, and on
January Sd a fight took place at the
village of Tevaitoa, where the natives
made gallant fight against the 700
French troops. They suffered defeat
and had seventeen killed and five
wounded. while the French loss was
four wounded. According to the Of
fetal narrative the victory will suffice
to produce an excellent effect upon
these rebellious natives, who are
charged, among other crimes, with
having an English flag in their pos
session.
The vice president of the Papeete
Chamber of Commerce has received no.
tice from the Ministry of Commerce
at Paris that the project for a line of
French mail steamers to run between
Sydney, Australia, and San Francisco,
touching at Noumea, New Caledonia,
Tahiti and the Marquesas islands, has
been approved by the French Govern
ment and that the detailsh ave been
laid before the Chamber of Deputies
for their sanction.
The great French steamship com
pany, the Messageries Maritime, will
doubtless operate the line, and the
route will thus become an alternate
one to the existing line now running
from this port to Australia.

BOAT STOOD ON END.
Uncle Joe Wells Unfortunate Experience
as First Mate.

Uncle Joe Wells Unfortunate Experience
az a First Mate.
Many OF the annual visitors to French
Lick Springs know old Uncle Joe Wells,
the veteran village blacksmith, but there
are few If any of them who know that
when Joe was a young man he "follered
boatin" and was deckhand on the river.
Among the boats that ice worked on in
the early days was little stern wheel boat
called the Vulture Upon one occasion the
mate of the Nulture took sick, and the
captain appointed Joe to take his place,
md Joe was proud of his promotion. One
night, coming out of Green river, the Vul-
tHre was hailed to land and take on eight
hOgsheads of tobacco. She was a Short
narrow, light stern wheel boat with only
one boiler, and that located about the mid
die of the boat. She rounded to, stuck her
nose into the bank, and the gangplanks
were run out. The deck hands, headed by
Joe, rolled the tobacco aboard and left it
in single row, reaching from the head of
the boiler to the capstan. The captain was
somewhat SURPRISED that the eight hogs
heads rolled ON the head end of his little
boat didn't make her draw much more
water than when she landed. The captain
rang the bell, the plank was pulled in
and the Vulturo commenced backing to
get away from the bank. Joe and the crew
put pole out against the bank and
showed.
Here she goesp' shouted Joe, and he
hardly yelled before she gave Il backward
jump. Her head went down in 20 feet of
water; the stern flow up in the air; the
wheel, still spinning, went out on the
bank. The tobacco held her head down
and kept her stern sticking up out of the
water 30 feet. and every man on her was
either thrown ashore or had to swim to
the bank. Joe had to swim, and soon as
he climbed the bank he started for French
Lick on foot and has never steamboated
any since. Joe had let the boats head rest
on a big rock while he rolled the tobacco
on board, and with the tobacco on her
bow end and the stern being light she
naturally made dive for the hattom. -

pains in his chest were so severe that
he had spasms and was threatened
with pneumonia. His father gave him
several large doses of Chamberlain

cough and cured him. Mr.. McFar-

LAST DAY OF JAW WORK.

Washington, March 25.-This is the
last day for the general debate on the
tariff bill in the House. Tabert,
DemOcrat Of South Carolina, opened
the debate. He talked a great deal
about robber barOns. Champ Clark,
DemOcrat) Of Missouri, followed him
and said as Democratic politician
he rejoiced in the passage of the pend
ing bill because after it becomes a law
every storekeepr would be obliged to
make a Democratic speech every
time he made a sale. The passage OF
this bill. he said, would give Demo
Gratis 100 majority in the next Con-
gress.
After some brief remarks by Nc
CURE, DemocraO of California, and
Gum. (Populist) of Idaho, Towney,
Republican, of Minnesota, member of
the ways and means committee, took
the floor for twenty minutes. Towney
defended the lead schedule which had
been attacked by Gum. The purpose
of the trainers Of the schedule was to
give American labor employment in
smelling Mexican and Canadian ores
and at the same time fully protect
American lead miners.

Insurgents Will Win If They Are

Grecian Ports,

Canea, Crete, March 25.-Copyright
by Associated Press.-The insurgents
made determined attacks upon a
blockhouse or fort at Malaxa, outside
of Suda today. About 6 o'clock this
morning the artillery opened fire up
on the Turkish blockhouse. The guns
Of the Christians were served with
such admirable promptneSS and pre-
cision that in a short time nothing
remained to the Turks but eXtermin-
alton or evacuation. The MussulmGns
preferring the latter, left the fort
and commenced retreat upon Suda
relying on the Turkish warships to
save them from the Christians. The
sultan'S feet opened badly judged
fire upon the insurgents in order to
cover the retreat from the blockhouse.
The shells fell either short or beyond
the insurgents forces. The insurgents
succeeded in pushing the Turks as
far as the village of Tsikalaria, where
they fired some houses.
While this fighting was in progress
detachment of Turkish troops being
unaware of the fact that the garrison
at Fort MalaXa had evacuated that
place and was retreating upon Suda
closely pursued by the Christians,
made n sortie from Canea with a con-
vOy of provisions for the garrison of
MalaXa. Near Keratidi the Turkish
convoy was met by a body Of insur-
gents, who from well selected posi-
tons opened fire upon the advancing
troops. The fire of the Christians
stopped the advance of the column and
the Turkish commander took the best
position possible in order to protect
the convoy and retreat if necessary.
At noon as this dispatch is sent,
fighting between the Turks and
Christians near Keratidi is still in
progress and the result is uncertain.
The Turkish garrison at Malaxa lost
heavily during the retreat from this
place. The insurgents are numerous
and occupy all heights in the vicinity
of Canea as far as Perivolia, having
captured two of the last Turkish fort
resses. Only the fleets of the powers
can prevent the entire success of the
insurgents cause.

FIND DEEDS FOR A TOWN.
Old Papers Discovered That May Give
Title to JehersonviIle, Ind.


Title to Jeffersonvi1Ie, Ind.
William Lift, of Arcola, Ill, was look
ing through some old family relics in a
"cast-off" trunk, which had been stored
with numerous other articles in the
attic of his mothers house, recently,
when he discovered O number of deeds
for tracts of land in Indiana, drawn in
favor of his father, Demarcus Lit, long
since dead. The deeds, three IN num-
Der, call for three 40-acre tracts of land
located in Jennings county and near the
site OF the present city Of Jefferson
vile, Ind. They are printed on sheep
skin, and notwithstanding the fact
that the documents all bear dates of
August, 1888, are well preserved. The
papers all bear the government seal and
are signed by ex-President Martin Van
Buren,.
Mr.. Lift says neither himself or moth
er knew of the existence of the papers.
AS near as the location of the land can
lie figured, according to the description
in the deeds, it is believed that a good
portion of the realty is covered by the
city of Jacksonville.
Legal assistance has been employed
by the Lift heirs and strong effort will
be made to recover possession of the
property.

Ferdinand Danton, great-grandson of
Jaques Danton, who died on the guillo-

great-grandniece Of Jean Paul Marat,
who died by the dagger Of Charlotte

Inounced and the wedding, they hope,
will take place in the spring.
' Young Danton IS poor artist, who
lives with his father, also an artist, in
a not very prosperous quarter of New
York. Mile. Marat lives in Paris and
is rich. They met at the unwilling Of
the statue erected recently by the mu-
nicipality of Paris to the memory Of
Danton's great-grandfather. The an
cestor of one and the relative of the
other were enemies during the reign
of terror, but the old enmity has found
it's strange sequel in the love of the
young people.
There is still an obstacle. Ferdinand
Danton's grandfather declares his for

son, who failed when he went to Paris
to register as Frenchman. The pros
pective bridegroom and his father will
go to France and try to placate the old
gentleman.

UNDERTAKEN SUES THE QUEEN
Litigation Over Bill of $4,000
Against Her Majesty.


Against Her Majesty.
Proceedings in peculiar legal case
have been instituted, the issue at stake
being a bill for undertaker's services at
the funeral of the late Sir John Thomp-
son, premier of Canada.
The original bill was for $12,o9 and
was presented to the federal govern
ment by Gordon & Keith, of Halifax,
soon after the funeral in December,
1894. The government refused to pay
the full amount ON the ground that the
charges wero excessive, and RENTED
$T,fss to the firm. Nessrs. Gordon &
Keith demanded the full amount of the
bill, and later brought suit against her
majesty, tho queen, In the exchequer
court of Canada
The case will be brought to trial after
a commission, which is now securing
evidence, has reported. The commits
sion is visiting many of the leading
cities for the purpose of having the bill
submitted to undertakers for their esti-
mate on the cost of articles furnished at
the funeral and value of services rem
dered. The commission is now in St.
John, n. B., and, according to under
takers who have examined the bill, it is
about so per cent. in excess of what it
should be.

TRANS-SIBERIAN RAILROAD.
Canadian Pacific to Be Part of a Short

Canadian Pacific to Be Part of a Short
Au-Around-the-WOr Route.
DR.. De Karmet, the eminent Russian
lecturer who is now at Vancouver,
B. c., to give addresses on Siberia and
its prospects, declares that with the
opening of the trans-Siberian railroad
there will speedily follow direct and
rapid steamboat communication be-
tween VIadivostock and Vancouver.
This would place British Columbia in
an Acknowledgement route that
could be traversed in 40 days.
DR.. De Karmet expects the Canadian
Pacific railroad to join in the work of de-
veloping this great route by land and
by sea- He predicts That, with the
opening of the railway, there would
come such vast gold development in ST.
IBERIA as would make that country enc
OF the greatest gold producers in the
world. Even now with but primitive
appliances and methods it produces in
the neighborhood of $4,000, 900 in gold

MUST NOT FLlRT.
Bill introduced In Missouri Legis-
lature to Restrain Trainmen.
The Long Enjoyed Prerogntive of Con-
ductors and Brakemen Threat-
ened-Must shun Attrac-
tive Females.

A bill, which has for its object the
abolishing of one of the prerogatives
of the railroad men of the country, was
introduced in the Missouri legislature
by Representative Hood, who, having
many friends among the railroad men,
was careful to state that he introduced
the measure by request.
The bill, by provisions stronger than
the terms Of O money loaner's chattel
mortgage, seeks to put stop to the
flirting with female passengers by rail-
way conductors and brakemen, and to
make matters binding fine of SOS for
each and every separate move which
can be constructed into en- attempt at
flirting Is to be imposed upon the Of
fender. The company, corporation or
person owning the railroad upon which
the awful crime of flirting is committed
is held responsible for the good be-
hayior Of the employees and Is liable for
the amount of the fine in case the guilty
man does not pay it.
Should the bill become o law any
woman who desires to make life bur-
den for a railroad man will only have
to swear he has been flirting with her
and Immediately the poor fellow will
find himself within the grasp of the
law. 1t Is said the bill was formulated
by a woman who rode all over the state
some time ago and never once received
wink or a smile from the handsome
fellows in charge of the various trains.

lions Governing It's Use.
Ambassador Uhl at Berlin has
transmitted to the state depart
ment a copy of the new regulations for
the safe transit of vessels through the
Kaiser Wilhelm (KieD canal. They pro-
vide that all vessels, including those car
rying a high deck cargo, shall have no
heavy list; that the cargo shall be prop
erly slowed and secured to prevent
shifting in case of going around; that
the vessel must not be cranky" MS In
the case of narrow ships making a
sharp change of direction; that the
capstan and winches shall be clear for
immediate use; that the position OF the
wheel shall permit the helmsman to
have free lookout forward, and that
ballast tanks shall be filled. Vessels
with heavier draft forward are sup
posed to steer badly and are vigorously
cared for, the superintendent of the
port having the power to exclude them
at night or ordering tug to their as
sistance. -
