The necks of James, Meyers and Bry-

died almost instantly. Gardner's cap BE-
came disarranged in the fall, and his CON

He was apparently conscious about one
moment, after which he slowly strangled.

avoidable, was the only feature 10 mar

A STREET CAR DYNAMITED.
The Government Winning in the Strug-
gle Against the Strikers.

Cleveland, Ohio, July 2S.Today the
street cars were we'll patronized, par
ticularly during the morning and even
ing. This is said to be the best indica-
tion that the government is winning in
the struggle
Mayor Farley is we'll pleased with
the situation, but he has not relaxed his
vigilance one whit and will not until
the last vestige of disorder is wiped
away. The mayor and Adjutant Gen
eral AXlne are at present involved in Il
controversy. The adjutant is of the
opinion that the duty of the National
Guard is merely to put down rioting
and not to do police duty. Mayor Far
ley holds that the troops are under his
authority, and that they will remain
here until he feels that they can be dis
pensed with.
A car running from Euclid Beach
Park was blown up by dynamite about
II o'clock tonight. The explosion oc-
CURED short distance north of the

The Mataafans Defy an Order of The Chief Jus

Support through Commission
Decides IN eava.
Decides TO Leave.

SAN Francisco, Cla. July 2S.-Sanroan
advices under date of July 18th were re-
ceived today by the steamer Moana as
follows:
The situation in Samoa is one of great
uneasiness, the attitude OF the natives
being far from reassuring. Several
fights have occurred in different parts
of the islands between supporters of the
rivals for the kingship and several ma
tives have been killed Nothing much
seems to have been accomplished by the
high commission since arms To the num-
Der of 400 were surrendered by the con-
tending factions. Chief Justice Cham
bers, being dissatisfied with the support
extended to his court by the commission
ers, will leave today for Washington. The
German Government, it is claimed, is
greatly displeased with its commission
ers' recognition of the decision of the
Supreme Court in the kingship case.
The commissioners have been well re-
ceived on all the islands they have Wis
tied. At Tutuila the natives were pre-
pared to accept the proposed abolition
of the royal office and the substitution
Of an executive appointed by the three
peNers. AT Sapotulifia, the headquar-s
tiers of Lanati, that chieftain was de-
faint indicating future trouble. At Sa
fune, the only place where the natives
took prominent part in the proceedings
there was a fight with axes and stones
in presence of the commissioners, one
man bcing severely wounded. The trou-
BILE was caused by the meeting of parties
e Y 4 a..
hearing food offerings to the commits
sioners. The outcome Of all these confer
ences is a mass meeting held today at
Malinum Point where the leading men of
both sides are discussing the future gov
ernment of the islands.
At Safata on July 4th, some Matafa
men attacked the home of an opposing
chief named Taamui, who with two 9TH
ers, was badly wounded. III. NJ. S.
Torch went to the scene but quiet had
been restored.
Last week the Chief Justice issued
orders to certain towns in Sanaii to APP
pear before the Supreme Court in GER
tain civil cases whore the Judgment Of
the court had not been complied with
Chief Lanati ordered them not to obey,
telling the towns to pay no attention to
the orders Of the court which were only
words on paper. Some towns did not
appear. while from the remaining ones
only Malietoa men appeared. The Ma
taafa men openly defied the court The
CHIEF Justice then asked the commits
sioners to support his authority with
warships if necessary and en- their re-
fusal he decided to leave Samoa.
The commissioners expect to sail for
the United States on the Badger on July
10th.

BELCHING FIERY FLOODS
lHE ISLAND OF HAWAII INVOLVED IN
CLOUDS OF SMOKE.
A Man Spends The Night on the Side Of Mauna
Loa Between Flowing Streams
of Lava.

Honolulu, July 21st, via San Fran
cisco, Cal, July 2S The volcanic erup-
tion Of Mauna Loa is still in full blast.
The lava flow is apparently filing up the
table land near the Humuula sheep
ranch. Hilo and the whole island of
Hawaii are involved in smoke. Vessels
encounter dense clouds of smoke hum
dreds of miles out at sea, and navigators
are seriously inconvenienced Kdlauea
is also smoking freely, and the indica-
tions are that this volcano will soon be
in active eruptions.
Frank Davey has returned from a
visit to the volcano. He says there is a
series of eight craters. Five of them
were dead, but appeared to have been
active quie recently. One of the others
WAS belching forth smoke and fire and
molten rocks of great size. According
to Davey the rocks were as big as horses
and went to a great height.
1t took Davey and his party fifteen
hours to ascend the mountain from the
active crater to the summit where their
horses were left. Two men became
delirious on the way for want of water
All around the top of the mountain it
was cold. At the crater it was very hot
j. S. Pratt was caught on knoll
high up on Mauna Loa on two sides of
which the lava was flowing. The sun
was nearly down. He did not know
which way to so, and spent the night
there as Il desperate chance, as he
thought, of life. He sat up all night
and watched the lava flow. When the
fumes were blowing his way he lay down
ON his face to keep from suffocating.
Next morning he found his way out

San Francisco, Cal, July 2S.--Chief
Justice w. Il. Chambers OF Samoa, ar
rived here today on the steamer Maona
accompanied by his family. lie is on Il
four months leave of absence, but says
that his business in the United States
is of such a nature that he will proba-
bly, not return TO Apia.
In an interview the Chief Justice said:
All is now quiet in Samoa, but | can
not answer for the future. Both Ma
taafa and Malietoa affect to be satisfied
with the present arrangement which abOl-
ishes the office of King and vests the re-
sponsibility of Government in the Con-
suls of the three Powers. | feel sure
Malietoa is sincere in this. Though
fairly elected and after election accept
ing the kingship, he never had ambitions
in that direction. AS soon as the COM
mission arrived he proposed to resign,
spirit which later proved to be in ac-
cordance with the plans of the commits
sioners and | have every reason to be-
Iieve that he will live up to this bargain.
"Mataafa is ambitious. For many
years he has thirsted for power, and will
not be so easily satisfied. At the same
time. he is man of exceptional ability,
is shrewd and | have never Thought the
interests of the natives would especially
suffer in his hands.
''Yes, my decision has been sustained
by the commission. and it has publish
O.. the fact in Il proclamation.
with respect to the future j can say
little. In its work the commission has
cndeavored to eliminate from the origin

have appeared family or weak
Those features have been substituted
by others. which experience has demon
strated to be more desirable and worka-
