FILES CONTEST.
Defeated Candidate for King of Samoa
Appeals to the Courts.

Apia, Samoa, Nov. rs. via San Fran
cisco, Dec. 15.-'COnsiderable excitement
was created here November 10 by the
landing of a. party Of blue jackets from
the British and German warships.
While no serious trouble is anticipated
at present the representatives CO the
powers thought wise to make a, demon
stratiOa owing to the number of ma
tives who have congregated at Mulinuu
so as to show that the powers had
means to protect the white residents.
The party landed at Matautu and
marched through the town headed by
the German band from the Buzzard,
with the drum and fife corps from the
H. M S. POrpoise. After making the
display to the natives, both parties re-
turned to their respective ships.
The chiefs supporting Mataafa have
notified the chief justice that they have
elected Mataafa king of Samoa and
that a protest has been lodged by GER
tain other chiefs who dispute his cleo
ticn. High Chief Tammsase has been
nominated for the vacant throne by the
opposition faction and the whole matter
has been referred to the chief justice
for decision. Upon that decision will
depend the selection of the new king

NO EXTRADITTON TREATY.
Covenant With Mexico is About to
Expire.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Unless the I'M
expected happens, the United States
and Mexico will be without an extradi-
ton treaty on the 18th of next month.
The situation promises to be one of
gravity, and the Mexican border is like
ly to be a paradise for fugitives from
justice and criminals of every descrip-
ton until a new treaty can be agreed
upon Mexico denounced the existing
treaty because our government refused
to deliver up on extradition proceedings
certain MeXicanS who had escaped
across the line and were accused by
their own government Of various Of
fenses Of a criminal character, but who
1t is asserted were really wanted for
political reasons. The case of Guerra,
who was involved in one of the periodl-
cal raids across the border of New
Mexico, organized by the leader CARA,
cansed the break.
Mr.. Clayton, United States minister to
Mexico, is endeavOring to make a new
treaty but with the serious difference
in principle between the two govern
ments as to whether a. case like Guerra's
is political and revolutionary or the act
OF a brigand, his task will be difficult.

THE TRADES EXCURSION
Today's Train Brings 100
More Than That a Year Ago.

TOday's trade excursion to Topeka
from Emporia over the Santa Fe was
100 larger than that a year ago. The
train left Emporia, at o'clock, on time;
was made up of an engine, baggage car
and six coaches, in charge of Conductor
J. McCaudridge and Engineer Byron
Client. Train Master II. A. Tice was
also on board and assisted materially
in providing for the comfort and well
fare of the passengers.
Fifty-six people, that is a full car
load, got on at Emporia. These passen-
gers were promptly supplied by State
Journal representative with copies of
last evenings Journal and were soon
busy looking over the announcements
of the Topeka merchants and reading
the news as well.
A great many of them, however, said:
ooh. take the Journal and read it last
night" and so it was among all the ex-
cursionists who entered the cars at vari-
Gus stations. They had read the Journal
and read it every day. At all these
towns the people get the news Of the
day first from the State Journal.
The next large number of people
boarded the train at Usage City. At
Burlingame 81 more were added
to the gay and happy excursion; at
Scranton "a, and at Carbonodale 79
The whole train was in good humOr
and the people, about twO-thirds of
whom were ladies, seemed to be out for
a good time well as on a shopping
tour When the train reached Topeka
only a few minutes late, every car was
crowded and soon the platform was
thronged with ladies and gentlemen.
Among the people at the station the ex-
cursiOnists were glad to see Mayor Eel
lows. A number of merchants were also
on hand to see that citizens of our
nefghbOring towns were pleasantly re-
ceiVed. a half dozen or more cars of

We're soon full, but half of the excur-
sionists preferred to walk and both

RIDDLE APPROVES IT.
Populist Chairman Says the Special
Session is Just the Thing.

Taylor Riddle, chairman of the Popu-
list party, while opposed to the special
session proposition when it was first
suggested, became one of it's most ar
dent supporters before it was called. He
now believes it will accomplish great
things, and in an interview which he
gave out today, he said:
The approaching special session of
the Legislature will accomplish more for
the people of Kansas than any session
in the states history At first I was
doubtful about the wisdom of the call,
but since have personally talked with
many of the members and senators, who
are anxious, as the representatives of
the people, to fulfill the Populist par
tvs pledges, I am frank to admit that
Governor Leedy acted wisely and well.
Il believe that the pledge of every
senator and mem Der will be fulfilled to
the letter. No fairer, more intelligent,
or more honorable body of men ever
assembled in the legislative halls in
this capitol than those who will meet
here next Wednesday. They will come
together with a common object in view
and a common duty to perform. When
the combined Judgment of these men
shall have been formulated into law,
it is my deliberate judgment that the
great masses of our people will thank
Governor Leedy and the present 1egiS-
lature for this splendid work in the
closing hours of our administration.
That a railroad law will be passed
which will reduce freight charges to
the farmer and shipper, I do not doubt,
and that the discrimination which has
been practiced against localities in this
state will be at an end. have every
reason to believe. In short, the legis-
Iature will speedily and intelligently
give the people the relief they have
prayed for. and when the campaign of
1900 is over. the verdict will be one of
approval and endorsement. Every man
who fought under the banner of Will
liam J. Bryan in 1896. and who stood
for humanity and justice in the battle
just ended, will approve of Governor
Leedv's course, and every citizen, re-
CARELESS of party will endorse a legis-
lature that places upon the statute
books a law which is fair and reasona-
BILE to both the people and the railroads:
and that is what the legislature will

TO EXTEND COLUMBIA PARK.
Greenville Citizens to Send Petition
to the Street and Water Board.

Many Greenville property owners in the
vicinity of the proposed Columbia Park
are circulating petitions which will prob
ably be sent TO the Street and Water
Board by the first of next week. The
petitions are for the extension of the park
site and read as follows
To the Honorable Board of Street and
Water Commissioners of Jersey City.
We the undersigned citizens of the
Greenville section of Jersey City, most
respectfully petition your honorable
body to take into consideration the adj
visibility of extending the western
will extend to the Hudson Boulevard.
We deem that it will add to the
beauty of the park n will benefit
same, as well as to the advancement
of not only the adjacent and surround
ing property, but also to the entire
city. we hope your Honorable Board
viii consider the above with favor.
There are something like two hundred
signatures to the petition.
Columbia Park site as it now stands is
not the most favored spot in the world
for a park. 1t can only be reached by
having no opening on either the Boule-i
ward or Old Bergen Road. The site lies in
the centre of the block bounded by the
above mentioned streets and is two hum
bred feet from the Boulevard on the
western side and the same distance from
petitioners want is to have the city pur-
chase the remainder of the block facing
the Boulevard and to have al opening on
that thoroughfare.
their petition will be favorably acted upon
as the proposed extension of the park site
will be of great benefit to the residents
and especially the cycling fraternity.

The Rush Of the Rough Riders.

Theodore Roosevelt seems TO be quite
as dangerous a man in military as he
was in civil affairs. To the rashness OF
his inexperience leadership, much of the
tragedy of last Thursday seems to be at
tributable. We are Informed that he de-
spised the precautionary measures of the
enemy and led his men in open attack
to a brilliant success.
This sounds well, and of course nobody
doubts Teddy's courage or that Of his
brave regiment. But courage is not
everything. and an ounce of tactics is
worth a pound of dash in face of a heavy
fire from rifles and rapid fire guns.
The situation reminds us Of a well
known expression, used. we believe, by
one OF the French Generals who wit
