Ex-CHIEF JUSTICE IDE.
He Gives His Opinion of the Trou-
h1e at Samoa

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-A special to
the Tribune" from ST. Johnsbury, Vt,
says: Henry Ide, formerly Chief JUS
tice of Samoa, says:
THE recent exciting events in
Samoa are very distressing to me- Dur
ing my residence of between four and
five years there I became greatly at
tached to the natives, who are ordinari-
ly most hospitable, polite and pictur-
esque people I formed strong friend
ship with English, German and Ameri-
can officers and residents.
.Chief Justice Chambers comes from
Alabama, and is just and upright
man. Consul Rose has had long ex-
perience under the German Foreign Of
flee, and is man of ability. 1t is to
be regretted that the Chief Justice
could not have found it to be his duty
to decide in favor of Mataafa, who is
the most distinguished of living Sa-
means, of fine. presence and kindly
bearing, the choice of a large majority
of the people, and entitled to sympathy
by reason of his long exile.
sWhile the authority of the court
must be maintained, it is improbable
that the three Powers will undertake
to maintain the boy Malietoa Tanus in
power in the face of the determined
opposition of the people. The action
of the German Consul and the German
President Rafael, in seizing the court
house is based upon the fact that the
Berlin treaty provides that the Presi-
dent shall exercise the functions OF
Chief Justice in case of vacancy, and
it is probably claimed that the action
of Chief Justice Chambers in going
for protection on a British warship
was a departure from Samoa to British
soil and an application to one of the
Powers, and that thereby a vacancy
| had been created. 1t is safe to say
that such claim, under the circum-
stances, will not be entertained. 1t is
the manifest duty of our Government
to lend immediate aid to maintain the
| treaty That duty has been too long
neglected. No American warship has
been in Samoan waters since 1892. The
English squadron there will at once be
strengthened from the Pacific stations
The whole atmosphere there will be
cleared without fighting as soon as
England and America appear in force
upon the scene, and the hands of our
officials will be upheld The treaty is
| the result of years of diplomacy. 1t
should be amended to be made work
able. It's value in giving US our only
hold in the South Pacific is incalcula-
BILE This is not a good year for letting
things in the Pacific pass to our rivals

Officers Douglas, Higgins and Pen

and Charles Mesplie on suspicion OF
having stolen baritone horn in Grid.
ley.
Chief Dwyer received telegram
from that place saying the horn had
been stolen, and to look out for it. One
of the men tried to sell it at pawn
shop for 500, but being unable to do so,
sold it to an old man on the street for
$40. The purchaser is known to the
police The men were located in K
street saloon, and were taken in, and
the mouthpiece of the horn was found
on one of them.
AS the prisoners were being taken to
the Police Station one of them threw
away large bunch of the most artis-
tically prepared skeleton keys that the
police officers have ever had in their
possession. There were keys that would
open any outside door Yale lock, keys
for cash registers, and in fact keys for
almost every kind of lock in existence.
The horn which they obtained in
Gridley and disposed of in this city,
has been recovered and proves to be
a very valuable instrument, said to be
worth $115.
The men also had in their possession
two storm coats worth So each, which
were also stolen in Gridley having been
identified by one of the parties who
came after the men.
The policemen who effected the cap
ture are jubilant over their success, as
they realize that had the two men not
been gathered in the probability is
that, with the aid of the skeleton keys,
another series of mysterious robberies
would have ensued

A MINER ROBBED.
The P1under Sold in This City by
One w. M. Griggs.

One w. M. Griggs.
Yesterday Deputy Sheriff John Houx
of Ell Dorado County came to this city
Griggs, who is accused of having
broken into and robbed the cabin Of a
wood chopper who resides near Mud
Springs. in that county.
1t appears that the latter had been
saving up his nickels, dimes and quar-
ters until he had accumulated $125. He
also had on hand a small quantity of
gold dust and some gold nuggets and a
long barreled Colts revolver, with belt
and scabbard, all of which it is alleged
Griggs walked off with.
AS soon as Houx arrived in the city
he sought out County Detective Golden
and gave him description of the much
desired Griggs.
The two officers went to pawnshop
and found the revolver displayed in the
window marked for sale, and when
they had given a description of the
gold dust and nuggets it was imme-
diately produced and handed over.
Mr. Zemansky, the proprietor. stated
that Griggs came into his place on the
18th inst, and stating that he was a
miner who desired to. sell the dust he
had dug with his own hands, produced
the gold and received its value. He
bought watch. paying for the same in
dimes and nickels, and departed.
The next day he reappeared and stat
ed that he had met the elephant and
was his'n." He sold back the watch
and Colts revolver, and again disap-
peared
Detective Golden then took up Grigg's $
trail and soon found that he had left
the city and returned to Mud Springs.
The Sheriff of Ell Dorado was tele-
phoned to arrest Griggs. and the deputy
returned home.

A FIGHTING FAMILY.
lieutenant Thomas b. Howard,
Who Fiehts with Dewey.


The Chicago Times publishes the
following sketch of Thomas Benton
Howard Of Galena, Ill, who is a cousin
of Benjamin f. Howard, Superintend-
ent of Schools in Sacramento County:
Lieutenant Thomas Benton Howard
onesof the heroes that fought with
Dewey in the battle of Manila Pay, is
Galena boy. His position in a 7fniral
Dewey's fleet is that of navigating and
gunnery office the Concord. Galena
is proud of her gallant Lieutenant and
rejoices in the fact that he was with
Dewey in the greatest naval battle OF
all time
The Lieutenant comes Of pretty good
fighting stock. His father, Bushrod e
Howard, was Captain in the Mexican
war, and in the early days of the re-
bellion started for the war at the head
of Company I, Nineteenth Regiment,
more than one hundred of which were
hurled into eternity, victims of the ac-
cident at Beaver Creek bridge on the
Ohio and Mississippi Railroad. Captain
Howard and nineteen of his men per-
ished in that disaster.
Lieutenant Howard's mother was
i1hAoOCeA 4AChdy, vile VI d OIitSo
States army officer stationed at Jeffer-
son Barracks, ST. Louis, as was also
her father, Captain Thomas Legate,
who came to Galena in 1898 as Super
intendent of the lead mines here. Lieu
tenant Howard was born in Galena IN
1854 and was reckoned one of the pre-
cocious boys of his time. He was edu-
Gated in the public schools here, and in
1868, through General Grant, who
spent the summer of that year in Ga
lena, he was appointed to Annapolis
Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Howard were fast
friends in former days at ST. Louis, and
Captain Howard had been held in high
esteem by the General, who knew him
well.
As cadet in the academy young
Ben" acquitted himself so nobly that
President Grant frequently made him
the subject of the most fiattering com
ment. He was often, by special invi-
tation, a guest at the White House, and
was usually appointed Grants aid
whenever the President visited Annap-
oils. Lieutenant Howard was gradu-
ated at the top of his class in 1869, was
promoted ensign in 1874, junior Lieu
tenant in 1873 and Lieutenant in 1888
He has served on, the Mediterranean,
the North Atlantic, West Indies, Pacific
and Asiatic stations and at the Naval
Academy. He married Miss Anne
Claude, the daughter Of DR.. Abram
Claude of Annapolis. Their son was
appointed to the Naval Academy in
1895 at the instance of the late Con-
gresham Cooke of Chicago, and is now
in the senior class.
Douglas Howard, brother of the Lieu
tenant, entered West Point and be-
came Captain in the regular army,
but was retired a few years ago by rea-
son of deafness

STREET TOO NARROW.
Not Room for Myers Cart and the
Colored Mans Feet.

Last evening an elderly man named
Myers, who resides at Twenty eighth

at the Police Station and demanded a
warrant for the arrest of colored man,
who, he claimed, had given him a Sc
we're beating near the corner of Fourth
and K streets.
AS near as could he ascertained, the
cause of the row was that Myers, who
was driving a cart, ran over the COL
ored individuals feet. Myers said the
latter projected so far ahead of their
owner that he failed to see them on
the dark and muddy street.
This insult to his pedal extremities
aroused the colored mans ire, and he
grabbed Myers from behind, pulled him
backward and proceeded to pound him

Tribute to the Late Mrs. Reyna.

t@-S ~>e~S>~ >S~~ @~OJ e>~~'
Eds. Record union": AS the sun
was fringing the Western hills which
overlook the blue Pacific Ocean, and
baptizing the earth in sea of saffron
tinted splendor, the soul of Mary Ellen
Lykins Reyna left it's tabernacle of
clay, ana gently drawing aside the cur
tain which separates the seen from the
unseen, the known from the unknown,
stepped behind the mysterious folds
and fell asleep in the arms of Him who
doeth all things well. It was meet
that SO gentle a soul should give up
the contest of life and enter into eter-
nal rest.
AS the mellow tint of approaching
twilight was throwing it's softening
shadows athwart the sky, and all ma
ture was looking forward to the restful
night, when the twink1ing stars hold
high carnival in the realms of space,
this gentle spirit was breathing her
last at the home of her sister, Mrs.
Nathaniel Greene Curtis of Sacramento
City. Born and reared in family of
purity, religion and refinement, it was
but natural that she should lead a re-
ligious life. In her youthful days she
was bright, joyous and happy girl,
and none knew her but to love her.
She was brilliant and interesting in
conversation, of noble and pure char
acter, and won the good will of every
one with whom she came in contact.
Her home in her beautiful cottage in
Pacific Grove was adorned with clus-
ters of roses and tropical flowers, and
its atmosphere of religious influence
was where she found her greatest
solace; and as she retired at night the
music of the waves of the Pacific lulled
her to sleep. But words are such help
less things to describe the anguish Of
a stricken heart!
God never planted a sweeter flower
To blossom and bloom and die,
And He never welcomed a purer soul
To His mansions in the sky.
