tralian sent, out the report above men
toned.
AS far as the Germans are concerned,
I have been. utterly unable to see how
they can be held responsible for the late
troubles. They may have been at fault
in the past when old Laupepa was de-
ported and an attempt made TO push
the elder Tamasese forward, but
Mataafa spoiled that arrangement by
conQuering Tamasese and causing him
self to be elected King. Mataafa was
then backed by both America and Eng
land. After Laupepa was returned to
Samoa the SamOans were confronted
with the difficulty of having two Kings.
Laupepa, however, voluntarily abdt-
Gated and Mataafa was proclaimed the
true King Then came the Berlin
treaty. which declared that llaupepa
should again be recognized The Ma
taafa peopie rose up ia revolt at this;
with the result that NIataafa was finally
exiied to Jaluit, on one:of the Marshall
group. When last year after the death.
of Ilaupepa, he was bEoughI back by
the three powers. Cnot By GerI91a ny, as
has often been published a German
political agent" it is asserted was the
first to see him after the slGip arrived at
Aria. 1 did not have the pleasure Of
seeing any of. these German political
agents" at Apia, but I suppose they ex-
ist there in large numbers. Atany rate
Mataafa was looked upon with sus-
picion ever. afterWard.. The Germans at
first favored Tamasese for. King, but it
was soon demonstrated that ~Mataafa
had almost the entire Samoan race at
his back. so the Germans very wisely
supported him.
Now. right here is. where many think
the American officials began to. show
stupidity They had no reason to be-
lieve that Mataafa would be controlled
bv the Germans; in fact everything
points to the contrary, and had they
supported him he would always have
been our friend and we would now have
much tighter grip on the Samoan
group than any other power. .Mataafa
has always been more friendly 10 Amer
lea. than to either of the other two pow
ers. l myself have seen document

other white man on. those Islands, went
to Washington himself and laid the
proposition before the United States
Government during President Cleve-
lands administration
The fact that the Germans. favored
Mataafa however, was cause. enough
for the American officials to oppose
him. Mataafa was appointed King by
the High Chiefs. who had the power TO
confer that title, and had fully 50 per
cent of the Samoans supporting him.
The other 20 per cent represented the
entire strength of both Tanu and
Tamasese, notwithstanding the. utmost
efforts of the English beachcombers to
increase the number of their followers,
Mataafas people gave notice of his
election to the Consuls and Chief Jus
tice, who acknowledged receipt of the
notification without comment Tam

PUSHED THE WALLS OUT.
Labor Hall Couldn't Begin to Hold nouIders
Who Assembled Last Night.

Labor hall was not large enough to
accommodate the attendance that an
swered call for a meeting of the union
to listen to report of the executive
committee last night. The committee re-
ported the outlook for the success of the
demands submitted to the foundrymen
last week. One large foundry has already
expressed a willingness to submit to all
the demands of the union when the time
for consideration expires, May l.
The chief objection appears to be
against the demand looking to the aboli-
ton of the day and half and a day and
of the manifesto put out by the union
We're withdrawn, the belief is general that
the battle would be easy and of short
duration. The meeting throughout last
night was enthusiastic in the extreme,
and an air of confidence in success was
apparent.
These delegates to the convention in
Minneapolis, July 10, were nominated to
be elected at a meeting Monday night: ].

Thirty men were admitted to membership
In the union and over 40 applications were
received.
There will be another meeting of the
Moulders' Union Wednesday night at La
Dor headquarters. For the mass meeting,
Monday night, larger hall will be neces-
sary and the executive committee was
empowered to secure such. Central Labor
Union will meet Wednesday evening at
Ga Southbridge street.

Tammany Boss Permitted to Sail For
Europe.

New York April 24.-Today's session
of the Mazet investigating committee
proved far less interesting than any
previous sitting. The day was entire
~ devoted to probing the various be-
nevolent and other societies which are
supported solely by members of the
police force. John Proctor Clarke, who
conducted this part of the examination,
intimated by his questions that while
the single-headed police bill was pend
ing at Albany, Ievies were made on all
ranks Of the force for funds to oppose
it. but his witnesses failed to give any
confirmation to the implied allegation
of legislative corruption.
Mr., Croker was not called as wit
ness, and on his promise to return to
this country was excused from fur

for England Wednesday.

Atlanta, Ca, April PA. B. Jones,
one of the captors of Sam Hose, came
to the city today, and collected $500 for
the reward which had been offered for
the negroes arrest. One hundred dollars
was from Jacob Haas of the Capital
City Bank, and the remainder was from
the Atlanta Constitution. The other re-
wards offered are $500 from the state
and $3.50 from Coweta county, making
total of 1880.
The states reward has not yet been

fin called on the governor today to let
in their claim, but Gov. Gambler SAID
he would hold up the matter for three
days until he could investigate the af-
fair He had conferred with the attor-
ney general, and it was the latter
opinion that the governor ought to be
convinced there was no collision be
tween the Messrs. Jones and the mob
and that the delivery to the sheriff al
Newman was made in good faith, before
the reward was paid.

ARGUMENTS COMMENCE.
Attorney for State Occupies
Whole Day in George
Case.

Canton O., April 24-Attorney J. j..
Grant occupied the whole day IN open
ing the arguments on behalf of the
state in the trial of Mrs. George. The
court room was filled as it has not been
at any other stage of the proceedings.
Mrs. George sat with downcast eyes
during most of the proceedings. She
seemed more affected by Mr.. Grants
summing up today than by any other
incident of the trial.
During the day, attorneys for each
side presented their requests as to the
charge of the judge. The state asked
that the jury be instructed that the al
legged promise to marry and the fall
ure to keep it, the promises OF any
money consideration, the alleged set
tlement in Allegheny, the divorce and
the payment for it, the relations be-
tween the accused and the deceased and
all of the testimony as to Mrs George 8
grievances against Saxton shall pc CITED
to the jury by the judge as not being
any justification. The state also asks
that the general weakness of the alibi
defense shall be cited to the jury in
connection with instruction that an
alibi to be a defense must cover the
whole period of the homicide, or must
prove beyond all doubt the impossi-
bility of the accused being at the scene
of the homicide when it occurred.
The defense asks the court to charge
the jury that the homicide must be
proved, and the accused guilty Of it,
before any of the threats are consid-
cred against the accused, and that the
threats are only to be considered in de-
termining the degree of the homicide,
had it been otherwise established. 1t
also asks that court charge that the
cause of accused is not to be prejudiced
because by reason of the defendants
not having taken the stand in her own
behalf, and that the evidence of one
Addicks to the opium or morphine
habit, is not credible.

TO ACT AS ESCORT.
Company G Accepts Invi-
tation of Grand
Army Post.

Co. G, Ninth regiment Emmett
Guards, had a company meeting in the
armory last night, and voted to accept
the invitation of Post 10, G. A. r., to

unanimous vote of thanks was fem
dered Treasurer McManus for his effl-
cient work. During his term of office,
Capt. Moynihan said THAI there was
not single error in his accounts.
The uniforms and equipments were
distributed and four applications for a
place in the company ranks were re-
ceived. There are few vacancies in
the company, but there are more appli-
oants than places, and the waiting list
is long. 1t was expected that Lieut.. H.
M. Dobbins. the mastering officer,
would be present, but he did not ap-
pear.
Sergt. P. ]. Corliss. who acted as
treasurer of the company while in ac-
tive service, read his report, which was
accepted. He was elected permanent

SAVANNAH CONDEMNS 1T.
Fails to dloat Over Crime Like Rest of
State.

Savannah, Ca, April 24.-The press
and people of this city condemn in I'M
measured terms the lynching of Sam
Hose at Newman yesterday. The
Morning News says:
1.-THE lynching will send a thrill of
horror through the entire country. The
method of it was in keeping with the
spirit of a savage rather than civil
lied and Christian community. 1t pro-
vokes a spirit that is likely to lead to
other crimes"
The Press says OF the affair:
1T will undo the work that friends
of the state have been doing for years.
1t will dissipate and scatter to the
winds the efforts that have been pa
tiently making to show that Georgia
offers to the home-seekers the model
abode in a state where nature, art and
humanity are all united in a cordial
welcome"

BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME.
spOrtsmen Say They Will Continue to Prose-
cute Fish Spearers.

The sportsmen who are behind the
movement to put a stop to the spearing
of fish at Lake Quinsigamond are not at
all discouraged by yesterdays failure to
secure a conviction of the men arrested
Saturday night. They are determined to
absolutely crush out the slaughter of
game fish that is wrought by the torch
and spear and will push the matter to the
limit.
A study Of the fish and game law re-
vealed the presence on the statute books
of a law which it is believed amply covers
the premises. and it is their intention to
cause more arrests and the collection of
the evidence which was lacking in the
trial yesterday morning. The complaint
the next time will be sworn on different
grounds. and time nor money will be
spared to test the law in the case.
Counsel has been engaged to study the
case and a conviction of the next party
of fishermen caught with spears at the
lake is confidently expected Officers were
on patrol at the lake last night and will
he until either the practice is stopped or
other arrests are made.
