ATROCITIES In SAMOA

A private letter from Samoa re-
ceived here yesterday says: "The
natives never went so far before
rs they have done this time and
the next outbreak it is almost GER
tain that whites will be massacred.
This time they broke into several
white mems houses and stole
everything, aud what was not too
large to carry they smashed up.
My own house was treated in this
manner and not a single thing
LETT in it even my bed and bedding
was taken away The house was lock
ed up and it was broken into and
completely cleaned out.
II can't think what the officials
we're thinking of in recognizing
that Provisional Government.
That was a very weak step think
There should have been an Anne
rican man of war there to have
helped the British and then it
would have been different. Things
could not have been worse had
the p. c. not been recognized for
the brutes have kept right on
burning and lootipg ever since the
Apia fight in other parts of the
group Tsmasese personally is
with Malietoa but all his late fol-
lowing is with Mataafa and these
are the brutes who are carrying on
such horrible outrages. They
have for years been itching to get
at the Apia people and through
the Germans they have at last
managed it.
"They behaved in a most
shocking manner to the women by
tearing off all their clothes, leaving
them in very many instances
quite naked, and when they could
not get the rings off their fingers
fast enough they chopped off their
fingers and in taking their ear
rings they simply tore them out
ripping down the ear and all such
atrocities as these"

In the Police Court today
Tasaka was found guilty of the
charge Of libidiuous solicitation
and fined $25 and costs. In add.
ton to this and, as provided by
law, his license as hack driver
was ordered cancelled. Attorney
Creighton Immediately noted an
appeal.
The arrest Of Tasaka was made
by Special Officer Bowers. The
case took up a large part of this
mornings session and was not
finished until about 2 o'clock this

questioned most seriously the
methods that had been employed
to entrap the Japanese, as did
Judge Wilcox in the mary of
the case, but the evidence was

HAWAIIAN LEGISLATION.

Prospects of the Hawaiian terri
toria' bill receiving any recognition
at this session Of Congress are
practically nil. The peace treaty
is to come up for final vote in the
Senate on February 6, which will
leave just four weeks for the pos.
sible consideration of Hawaii be-
fore adjournment. That the terri
torial bill should be discussed and
brought to vote in this short time
when appropriation bills, army and
navy reorganization bills and other
matters of pressing Importance re
quire action is hardly possible.
Hawaii may consider itself lucky
if the shipping and tariff extension
measures get through the Senate, las
that is the body in which the sugar
trust interests usually make their
fight. The hanging up of the tariff
bill, passed by the House, in
the Senate Committee of FL
nance is by no means favor.
able omen. 1t will be remem.
bered that it was in this committee
that the sharp fight over the reci-
proci.y treaty was made when the
Dipgley tariff was 10 course of
enactment, and more than one
Republican member OF that COM
mittee showed himself hostile to
the free entry of Hawaiian pro.
ducts to the United States.
The play of the beet sugar peo-
pie seems to be to keep sny bill
extending special laws to Hawaii
in the committee and the Finance
committee seems to be their
stronghold. The bill relating to
shipping laws will doubtless be
referred to the committee of
which Senator Frye is chairman.
Frye has always been friendly to
Hawaii and can be depended
upon to obtain prompt recogni-
ton for the bill in the Senate.
Having obtained the extension of
the shipping laws only, the terri
tory will have gained one import
ant point against the advocates of
a colonial scheme.
1t seems foregone conclusion
that Hawaii will twiddle along in
its present half and half govern
mental condition for another six
months. The principal lesson to
be learned from this situation is
that Hawaii is not the biggest
toad in the American puddle, and
the best thing for local interests
to do is to combine forces for the
extension of as many American
laws as possible and rs soon as
possible. Instead of dealing with
one Lation, Hawaii is now simply
one of many States and territories
and representatives of those CON-
munities can do as they please
with US without fear of that for
mer appeal to "other powers"

A Good Use OF Library Books.

Books from the Fayetteville Library as
ISOLATION" donated to the Moore tree Ii
brary filed two alcove shelves before they
we're arranged in their classified places.
The association might have selected more
from these books for the new library, but
wishes had been expressed by several
members to have the old collection de-
sirable foundation for library in some
other town as a token of our gratitude for
the establishment of Moore free library
upon a generous basis. AS is well known,
the state will give 500 aid in forming pub
lie Libraries in towns where none has been
established, on condition that such towns
shall vote an annual appropriation varying
from SIS to $50 according to the grand list.
Fayetteville association unanimously gives
Wardsboro the first chance to accept the
balance of its books, nearly 400, under the
condition named. Many of them have
been in use for years, but they have been
well cared for, protected by covers, and
limited to few readers compared with a
freq library and there is vet left good
spTinklipg Of newer books and standard
works, for instance, Dickens's and Scot's
complete works, almost new. In fact this
balance of books ought to be an incentive
10 some one Oh Tue sin"'Ie' 'O"Ho ~ the
county to work for the blessings of pub
lie library. Some lover of books and of
humanity can be found in every town who
will give time to a library that has no fund
to pay for service, and the conditioned an
nual appropriation will provide for steady
growth And besides this, when such a
good thing is fairly established, individ-
uals in the town and outside, some pros
porous home-loving native of the old hills,
may be moved to help the enterprise.
