GOOD OUTLOOK IN SAMOA.
Prospect for Trade Improved by Gull
tiyatiOn of Cocoa.


The schooner Sophia Sutherland, which
left San Francisco eighteen months ago
with a party of treasure seekers for the
Solomon Islands, has returned with a
cargo of cocoanuts. The men were de-
ceived by the protector of the enterprise,
l.. 2. Sorenson, who was put ashore on
the island. The others sailed for Samoa,
four of them dying of fever. Captain Nc
Lean has poor opinion of the Solomon
Islands, but says the outlook for trade in
Samoa is good, as the people are begin
ming to raise cocoa. The political situa-
ton in Samoa was strained when the YES
sci left, as the death of King Malietoa
was expected.

STOLE THE BANKS MONEY.
Cashier of a Minnesota Institution
Confesses His Guilt.

Confesses His Guilt.
At Preston, Mimi, NJ. Il. Todd, the
cashier who wrecked the Fillmore County
Bank, has confessed the theft of all the
banks deposit funds to NJ. L. Grattan,
one of his bondsmen. Grattan told Todd
that q lynching was imminent unless he
made full statement. Overcome by fear,
he confessed that just prior to the bank
assignment he had taken all the money on
deposit and delivered it to a former part
ner. Further developments are expected.
1t develops that Todd is forger, spuri-
Gus note having turned up in the bank S
paper. A note given by the Presbyterian
Church, of which Todd was treasurer,
was paid and Todd said he had destroyed
it. The note now turns up as collateral
in a La Crosse bank. Todd seems to
have completely looted the bank and his
mother-in-law's large estate. The feeling
against him is bitter, almost to the point
of violence.

Famine Causes Suffering.

Owing to the failure of the harvests in
seven districts Of the Government Of Ka-
zan, Russia, and In the provinces of Sa-
maria, Saratof, Simbirik, Viatka and Per-
ma, where the crops are almost worthless
and even the landed gentry are beginning
to ask the Government for relief, the
Government is adopting measures to re-
lieve the sufferers. The distress, how
ever, is becoming more acute every day.
The peasants are denuding their cottages
of matches in order to feed their stock.
In spite of all that can be done, cattle and
horses are dying in great numbers. The
Government officials are slow in getting
the relief measures into effect and the
only relief thus far has been the granting
of permission to the peasants to gather
fagots in the woods for fuel and to col
lect dried leaves for fodder. The peas
ants are exhausted from lack Of food and
unless the promised supplies are speedily
sent the suffering will be terrible.

Reached OFF Gull Island.

With the water high in the hold of his
ship, which was already deeply laden with
iron ore, and running in through leaks so
fast that the steam pumps were unable to
take care of it, Captain Hiram Eldridge
of the steamer Superior beached the
steamer on Gull Island, off Charlevoix,
Mich, to prevent her being sunk in deep
water. The wreck is a total loss. The
officers and crew were saved.

AMERICANS NOT STARVING.
Canadian Government Investigates
an Erroneous Report.

A report was published in many United
States newspapers recently that some
5000 Americans were starving on the
Teslin trail between Telegraph Greek
and Teslin Lake. The United States
Government asked the Canadian Govern
ment to investigate the matter. This has
been done, and report has reached OF
tawa, Ont, that there are only 1900 per-
sons altogether on the trail and that they
are we'll supplied with provisions. There
is, therefore, no foundation for the re-
port and the Washington Government
officially informed of this fact.

oUTRAGEs IN GUATEMALA.
People Robbing and Doing Personal
Injury to Mexicans.

Injury to Mexicans.
Many outrages have been perpetrated
ON Mexicans by Guatemalan army officers.
The worst case is that of Trinidad Vega,
an honest farmer, who was told by the
Guatemalans that they wanted to buy
horses, and he accordingly crossed the
line with large number of horses to meet
Gen. Barrilas, who seized his animals and
had him beaten. This outrage caused
much indignation. Other similar actions
are reported and are under investigation,
and due information will be given the
Government of Mexico. The Guatema-
lans appear to be actuated by an intense
hatred of Mexicans, taking every oppog-
tunity to insult and rob the humblest peo-
pie.

BELLIcosE RUMoRs IN EUROPE.
Retria1 and Acquitta1 for Dreyfus Is
Now Believed Certain.

War between France and Germany as
q result of exposures to be made in the
Dreyfus case and war between Great
Britain and Russia over complications in
the far east are confidently predicted by
we'll posted politicians in Europe. Paris
is excited over the disclosures following
Colonel Henly's suicide and the widest
rumors are affoat. The people are de-
handing q retrial for the prisoner of
Devils Island and the government faces
the prospect Of war with the Kaiser if
this is granted and the whole truth told
and a revolution at home if it is refused.
Officers of the French army threaten to
resign and tell all they know of the
Dreyfus case, and many of the highest
men in military circles are implicated in
the promised exposures. No order for a
revision of the Dreyfus verdict can be
secured until the cabinet meets, and the
ministers are now scattered, apparently
wishing to keep out of the way for the
present. Zola. from his hiding place, has
written Dreyfus' wife congra tulating her.

ABUSE OF POWER.
Mr.. Williams Attacks the Att0r ney

Claims That Off nders Against gu Z
Lw Have Not Been Pr0secutel..

Mr.. James A. Williams, chairman OF the
Prohibition State Central Committed, Is evi-
IDENTIFY after the attorney general > department
with a sharp stick claiming that there Is an
abuse Of power In relation TO the enforcement
Of the liquor law. Mr.. Williams, in his circu-
lar says since Willard b. tanner 4 pecame at
torney general grand jories IN Providence
acounty have returned 81 indictments against
law breakers for Keeping nuisances, that Is,
bawdy houses where immorality is practiccd
and liquor is sold in violation of law. and "
complaints for selling and keeping liquor for
sale contrary TO law, have come to Mr.. Tan
ner for prosecution by appeal from the several
district courts in the county, making a t,tal
of l78 indictments and complaints. Mr..
williams then asserts that out OF these l7s in
dictments, ''only 10 have been sent to jail, or
about eight and half per cent OF the whole
number"
Further ON Mr.. Williams states that "by
way of comparison 1t Is interesting to note
that our states attorney IL much more lenient
toward the liquor criminals than toward other
classes of criminals. For instance during Mr..
Tanners term he has had o, criminals in
dic'ed for larceny, "a of whom, more than 81
per cent, he has caused TO be sent to Jail; %
tor breaking and entering, % Of whom, near.y
50 per cent, were sent 20 Jail; ~ for assaults

62 per cent, psid the penalty by going to Jail !;
and 20 for various other offences, AZ OF whom
or 90 per cent landed in jail. an average Of
about 62 per cent" He concludes by showing
no favor, for he claims that what is true OF n
Republican attorney general Is equally true Of
a Democratic attorney general and he regrets
that by their shortcomings thousands and
thousands OF dollars are lost to the state every
year On defaulted bonds which the attorney
general never makes any effort TO collect"
