DAUGHTERS OF CoNFEDERACY

DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY
The first hour OF the second days
session of the Virginia State Conven-
ton United Daughters of the Confed
eracy in Richmond yesterday was de-
voted to memorial services. The priu-
cipal topic for discussion was the ex-
pedieDcy of unitng with the Grand
Division OF Virginia. kindred ergan-
ration having slightly larger mem
bership. The question of unity is
legacy from the Appomattox CONVEX
ton, which had its origin through a
suggestion emanating from the Grand
Division OF Virginia. When the mat
ter was introduced yesterday, under
the head of unfinished business, live
" discussion ensued. the prevailing
opinion crystalizipg in the statement of
Mrs. Alexander, Of Mary Lee GUSTS
Chapter, OF Alexapdris, who said that
the combined organization would
prove unwieldly and cumbersome, aud
at present was undesirable.
Mrs. Anthony Smoot, delegate
from the Seventeenth Regiment Chap
ter of Alexandria, held the minority
view that union was bound TO come
sooner or later, and that it might as
we'll be now. By the combination the
Virginia organization would have the
prestige of outnumberiUg any similar
organization 10 the southern States, and
| would be enabled to do more effective
work, the objects and the work of the
two bodies being identical,
In the vote taken Mrs. Smoot cast
the five votes of the Seventeenth
Regiment Chapter in favor of COM
biuation, the opposition mastering
forty-seven votes. Mrs. W. A. Tan
ner, of Kirkwood City Chapter, Lynch.
burg, was appointed to advise the grand
division that the convention consider
union ill-advised.
Mrs. Merchant, the State Registrar,
was placed in charge of the memorial
record, and motion was made that
report of deaths during 1898 and 1899
| Re embraced in the minutes of the pres
ent convention. This was tabled, pend
ing q decision AS to whether or not the
minutes will be printed annually.
Mrs Edwin H O'Brien, president OF
the division, was made custodian OF the
papers of the division.
At last nights session the following
officers were elected: Mrs. James Y.
Leigh, of Norfolk, president; Mrs J. b..
Fulton, of Wytheville, vice-president;
Mrs. J. r. Atwood, of Appomattox, ro-
cordipg secretary; Miss Virginia Griffin,
of Portsmouth, corresponding secretary;
Mrs. w. G. n Merchant, of Chatham,
treasurer; Mrs. james Il. Williams of
Woodstock, historian; Miss LIZ Q
Waite, of Culpeper, regis er. The COR
vention adjou ned to q eet next year, n

Bishop Christie, of Vancouver, B. c.,
is said to have been appointed arch
bishop of this archdiocese, to ill the
vacancy caused by the death of Arch
bishop Gross. The appointment has
not yet been made public, but will per
haps be announced next Sunday, if not
before.
This appointment will no doubt give
great satisfaction to the Catholic
church on the coast, and throughout
the country. 1t is looked upon as an
American appointment, Bishop Chris
tie being a thorough American, and
heartily in accord with the views of
Archbishop ireland. In fact, the
newly appointed archbishop is nep-
hew of Arch bishop Ireland, and is of
the same school.
Bishop Christie has been in the west
a little more than a year, and is very
popular. He is said to be man Of
great dignity and learning, and of
considerable executive ability.-Port-
land Telegram.

OUR BowLEKs AT SALEM.
Though Defeated They Won Two Games
IN the Contest

Though Defeated They Won Two Game
IN the Contest.
Thursdays Salem Statesman gives
the following account of the meeting
between the ID. G. and A. q. bowlers
and the Illihees at Salem Wednesday
evening:
After a very warmly contested game,
the Illihee club bowling team of this
city defeated the Commercial club
team of The Dalles In a reGurn four
game contest on the local alley last
evening. Each team captured two
games, but the home team won the
coLtes by 27 points.
The visitors reached the city on the
Roseburg mail yesterday morning and
were Hospitality entertained and
shown about the city during the after
noon by members of the Salem club.
They will depart for their homes on
this mornings overland.
The game was one of intense inter
est from start to finish and was q
splendid exhibition of the sport. The
visitors put up a very good game, but
the members of the Salem team
measured strength with their adversar-
saries at The Dalles last Monday night
and when the points were counted
they learned that they had lost three
of the four games and were defeated by
a total of 106 points. They apparently
profited by the experience, and, having
determined to make good showing
in the return game, labored earnestly
to achieve that result, in which they
were eminently successful, as the ap.
pended detailed score of the game in
dicates:

lived with .he llobos above town until
Monday morning, when he fell 10 with q
gentleman who agreed to take him TO
Portland.
A. a. West, father of the boy, is
engineer at Vancouver barracks, and
had been searching for the lad ever
since he left home.
Mr.. West arrived here Sunday
evening. and next morning secured the
aid of Marshal Lauer. Together they
soon located the boy going into an
East End restaurant and took him in
charge. The boy seems to be bright
little fellow, and gives no reason for
leaving home except that he wanted to
see more of the world. He left with
his father for home on the afternoon
train Monday.

SITUATION IN
SAMOA IS SERIOUS
The Natives Fight Among
Themselves.

| AUKLAND, N. H., April 27.-Particu-
lars of the fighting In Samoa. con-
tained IN advices received here from
Apia under date of April Is, show that
battle between friendly natives and
rebels took place at Vallejo, and that
the latter lost 100 men in KILLED and
| wounded.
! Further details of the death of En-
sign Monaghan, of the cruiser Phila-
delphia, and Lieutenant Lansdale, of
the same vessel. have been received.
They show that Monaghan was be-
headed before he was dead. A deserter
of the Mataafan force says Monaghan
and L.ausdale were retreating when
they were discovered by the chief and
bis wife, who were looking for dead
men. They gave the alarm ard Mona
CHAN was shot while continuing
the retreat. Later 1t appears the reb-
els returned and killed Lansdale.
Monaghan fought until he was
wounded, and he was then beheaded.
About 1000 women and children
have sought refuge at Maluit, station
o. the London Missionary Society.
The rebels are seizing traders rifles,
cartridges and stores and traders are
fleeing to Apia. Business Is at a stand
still and strong land force is urgently
needed.
Won Buelow. formerly lieutenant
in the German army, and the Amerl-
can who organized the forces of Ma
taafa here, armed with sword, gun
and cartridges, proceeded to Savaii
with 13 boats and 400 rebels, and the
German warship Fake sailed on
secret mission with Herr Rose and the
German consul on board. Captain
Stuart, commander of the British
Cruizer Taranga, in the absence Of
Admiral Kautz, who was coaling the
Philadelphia at Panga-Panga, wrote
to the German consul, urging him to
secure Won Buelow, and the next day
the Fake returned with Won Bueiow
on board.
On April Is a battle was fought at
is miles east of Apia. About
1000 rebels attacked the Gaunt land
ing parry, consisting of 100 men. The
latter were subjected to a hot fire, and
to the beach, where they de-
Tended themselves for the time, and
swan back TO their boats
under heavy fire. Chief Mulinango,
with IL friendly natives, refused to re-
tire. and charged into burning vii
age, driving a number Of rebels be-
lore them. Gaunt's party then re-
surned to the assistance of the friend
lies, and the whole party retire ed.
