SAMOAN ISLANDS.
Mckinley Will Not Pursue the Pol
lev Urged by Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-There is
room to believe that the Mckinley Ad-
ministration will not pursue the policy
urged by Mr. Cleveland in the matter
of the abandonment of the rights of
this Government in Samoa.
In discussing the Samoan question a
few days before his departure the Pres
ident said that the annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands by the United States,
with the purposed construction Of the
Nicaraguan Canal under the control of
the United States, has placed a value
on Samoa which the country could i'll
afford to lose. Its location is such that
it is directly between Australia and
Nicaragua, and its value as a way sta
ton for vessels proceeding to Australia
from Honolulu or from the purposed
Nicaraguan Canal will be great For
these reasons President Mckinley will
not attempt to carry out the policy ad-
vocated by Mr.. Cleveland, looking to
the abrogation of the treaty between
Great Britain. Germany and the United
States of 1889, which gave the sig
natory powers equal rights in the Gov
ernment of Samoa.

this week at Decatur for the murder of
Mrs. Nancy Allen and Miss Ruth Slack
on the evening of the 31st of last De-
cember, was to-day found guilty and
sentenced to be hanged August 9Th
Flanagan is a carpenter, and in the
employ of the Standard Oil Company
he travelled to various cities, where de-
pots of the company We're being built
He had a mania for making love and
seeking to marry very young girls His
method was to advertise for nurse for
a mythical niece, and when young girls
answered the advertisement he would
select the prettiest one and propose
marriage. Through these means he
made the acquaintance of and went to
board with the family of G. w. Allen,
living in De Kalb County, near At
lanta
He conceived a mad infatuation for
Leila, the eleven-year-old daughter of
the house, and asked several times for
her hand in marriage. Being refused,
he conceived the horrible idea that AL
len was having improper relations with
his own daughter.
On the night of December 31st. at
the supper table, he shot Allen, and in
the confusion which followed ne fired
indiscriminately, killing the mother Of
Mr.. Allen instantly and wounding Miss
Slack, a visitor, so that she died soon
after.
Flanagan explained his crime by say
ing that a plot had been formed
against him by the Allen family be-
cause of the discovery of the relations
between father and daughter. The tes-
timony in the trial revealed a remark
able case of sexual perversion.

MORE TROOPS NEEDED.
Not Enough at Yellowstone Park to
Patrol the Vast Territory.

WASHINGTON, July 31-Adjutant-
General Breck received a telegram from
Colonel Young of the Third Cavalry,
in command of the troops in the Yel-
lowstone Park, this morning saying
that there has been an unprecedented
number of visitors to the park this
year, and suggesting that a company
of infantry be added to the military
force assigned to the duty of guarding
the reservation and preserving it's nat
ural beauty.
There are now two troops of cavalry
at Fort Yellowstone, and Colonel Young
considers the number insufficient to
properly patrol the vast extent of ter
ritory included within the limits of the
reservation. Acting Secretary Merkle-
john, who is temporarily in charge of
the War Department, will probably
submit Colonel Young's suggestion to
Secretary Alger at Lake Champlain for
his action.

In substance, these determinations
throw the diggings at the mouth of

of Miller'S Creek, a tributary of Sixty
Mile Greek. and a valuable gold re-
gion, is five miles in a direct line, or
seven miles, according to the winding
of the stream, all within the territory
of the United States. In substance the
only places in the Yukon region where
gold in quantity has been found are
all to the west of the boundary line

1T can readily be seen that the claim
of the United States is directly opposed
