Some of the best detective talent of the

months in tracing down a gang of car
thieves. August 1 complaints reached
Topeka from over the Santa Fe line that
goods were purloined en- route. From the
start it was suspected that the guilty par
ties were employees of the road.

CHOOSING A KING.
A Hot Campaign is in Progress in
Samoa

San Francisco, Nov 1.-THE steamer
Moana, which has arrived from the an
tipodes and Honolulu, brings the fol-
lowing Samoan news to the Associated
Press:
The question of a king is exercising
the minds of Samoans to an almost IN
precedented extent and candidates for
the thankless office are as thick as au-
tumn leaves, but there are two logical
candidates. The chiefs representing the
whole of the Samoan people are consid-
ering who shall finally be thrust for
ward to guard the destinies of the peo-
pie. 1t now looks as if there would be
two aspirants for the office-the repre-
sentative of the Tumua and the repre-
sentative of the Ma1etOi family. If the
two factions can not agre on a king it
is thought that instead of resorting to
the customary force of arms, that the
leaders will be induced to lodge the set
tlement with the chief justice according
to the Berlin act. The consuls of the
treaty powers are watching the situa-
ton with critical mien. Just when the
parties will make the names of their
candidates known can not be stated at
this writing, but it will doubtless be
very soon.

Fearing that it might be considerable

that the hunt might not be a failure. They
purchased five pet cOons and sent them up
TO the preserve, with instructions that
they be made use of to the best advantage

the event, however, the cOOns died. Then
Mr.. King made all haste to procure others
and by using the telegraph wires Hber-

Congressman Fowler of New Jersey,
attended the meeting and gave it as his
opinion that it would be good policy to
let the currency reform bill of the house
banking committee remain without ac-
ton at the coming short session, for the
reason that it can not be gotten
through the senate and that to debate
in the house would only develop antag-
would weaken whatever currency meas
ure may be brought in the next con-
gress. He thought that the president
should be urged to call an extra session
of the new congress to convene in the
spring for the enactment of the gold
standard into a statute law and by the
adoption of legislation for the credit
currency of the country.
