inland from the upper shores of the

il would seem, to the difficulty Of future
operations against the main body OF the

impede active military operations and

Democratic Din and Dinners.

"Better is dinner of herbs Where

The bitter controversies created in
the Democratic ranks by Mr.. Bryan's
refusal to attend Mr.. Croker's dinner
demonstrate that among those who call
themselves Democrats there is no
unity of principle, no consistency nor
cohesive power.
The man from Nebraska takes it for
granted that he is to be the candidate
next year, and upon the impossible six
teen-to- one platform, and arrogantly de-
mands that those who invite him tc
dine shall swear fealty to the prepos

capital.

APIA, Samoa, via Auckland, n. T.,
March 29-The troubles growing out
of the election of a king of Samoa
have taken a more serious turn and re-
suited in the bombardment of native
villages along the shore by the United
States cruiser Philadelphia, Admiral
Kautz commanding, and the British
cruisers Porpoise and Royalist. The
bonn bardment has continued intermit-
tently for eight days. Several villages
have been burned and there have been
number of casualties among the Amer
lean and British sailors and marines.
AS yet it is impossible to estimate the
number of natives killed or injured.
As Mataafa and his chiefs, constitut-
ing the provisional government, con-
tinued to defy the treaty after the ar
rival of the Philadelphia, Admiral
KautZ summoned the various consuls
and the senior naval officers to a con-
ference on board the Philadelphia,
when the whole situation was carefully
canvassed. The upshot was resolu-
ton to dismiss the provisional govern
ment, and Admiral Kautz issued a
proclamation calling upon Mataafa and
his chiefs to return to their homes.
The German consul, Herr Rose, is
sued a proclamation unfolding the
provisional government. AS result
of this the Mataafans assembled in
large force and hemmed in the town.
The Americans then fortified Mu-
linu where 1900 Maletoans took ref
uge. The rebels-the adherents of
Observation-Disclosures the roads within
the municipality and seized the British
houses. An ultimatum was then sent
to them ordering them to evacuate
and threatening them, in the event of
refusal, with a bombardment to COM
mence at one o'clock on the afternoon
of March 10. This was ignored and
the rebels commenced an attack in the
direction of the United States and Brit
ish consulates about half an hour be-
fore the time fixed for the lombard
ment. The Philadelphia, Porpoise auC
Royalist opened fire upon the distant
villages. There was great difficulty il
locating the enemy owing to the dense
forest, but several shore villages were
soon in fames. A defective shell from
the Philadelphia exploded near thu
American consulate and the American
marines outside narrowly escaped.
During the night the rebels made
I hot attack on the town killing thre'
British sailors. An American seDtr

The Trouble in Samoa.

Ten years ago Great Britain, Ger
many and the United States joined in
compact guaranteeing the independent
existence of Samoa under the protec.
ton of the three powers. In the scheme
of government devised by the parties
to this agreement, supreme court was
established, the chief justice being ap-
pointed by the three treaty powers.
The present chief justice, like his pre-
decessor, is an American.
Among the disputes that had dis
turbed the peace of Samoa had been
the claims of rival kings to the sover-
eighty of the island. This was finally
determined in favor of Malietoa, and
his rival, Mataafa, was sent into exile.
In course of time the banished sover-
eign was allowed to return. In course
of time, too, the reigning king died
and an election of his successor was
held. Mataafa and Malietos Tanu, a
descendant of the dead king, were the
rival candidates for the kingship. Ma
taafa claimed the election-which was
in dispute-but Chief Justice Cham
beers decided - and under the treaty
agreement his decision was to be final
that Malietoa was legally elected. Ma
taafa thereupon revolted, set up pro-
visional government and attacked Ma
lietoa's men.
The outbreak was suppressed, and it
was hoped that the trouble had blown
over. But there was at Samoa, in the
person of The German consul, Herr
Rose, the counterpart of Admiral Died
ricks in the Philippines. Consul Rose
and the German president of the coun-
Gil, the governing body, lent their aid
to Mataafa's provisional government in
lis attempt to Gust Chief Justice Cham
bers from his office. This attempt was
resisted by the British and American
consuls, and by the British naval com

SINCE the burning of the Windsor in
New York there has been frequent
pointing of the moral that disaster con-
veys in the matter of security against
the rapid spread of fire and the means
of escaping from burning buildings.
Like charity, practical wisdom in this
matter should begin at home. There
are "fire traps" in every community.
There are buildings in Montpelier
which might become "holocausts" if
suddenly sssailed by fire. The lesson
of the Windsor should lead to the pro-
vision of fire escapes and every prac-
tcable means for securing the safe es-
cape of people from burning build
ing. This is proper matter both for
private concern and for the considerate
action of the public authority. Per-
tanning to this subject the Boston Rec
ord says:
"The recent hotel fires in New York and
Buffalo emphasize the fact that no matter
how we'll arranged the interiors of sucl
buildings are in the matter OF stairways
the tendency on the part Of the guests t
rush to the windows in their efforts to es
cape the flames continues. And that is ont
