Insult to America.

Auckland. N. e., Jan. 19.-Further
particulars regarding the disturbances
at Samoa show that Mataafa's fol-
lowers numbered about ), 900 men and
the adherents of Malietoa Tanus were
only about 1000. There was two
hours fighting between the rival
forces, during which several warriors
were decapitated.
The American consul issued a procla-
nation claiming the Berlin treaty had
the same force as an act Of congress
and that the insult to the supreme court
of Samoa is, therefore, equivalent to an
insult to the government at Washing
ton.

A Winter Excursion to Hot Springs,
South Dakota.
There are thousands and thousands
of mon and women in the western
states who would be greatly benefited
by a months sojourn at Hot Springs,
South Dakota. These people, as a rule,
are too busy to make the trip in sum-
mer. 1t is for their accommodation
that the Burlington Route will run an
excursion to Hot Springs Tuesday, Jan.
"a. The rate will be one fars for the
round trip and tickets will be good
thirty days.
A visit to Hot Springs at this time
of year is productive of just as much
good as is midsummer, and there is
the additional advantage that hotel
at the Springs are lower than
during the season..
The Evans hotel and the various
bath houses are open and the medical
attendance at Hot Springs is of as high
an order in January as in July.

AN ANCIENT BOOK.
Old and Il Owned by a Massa-
chuSetts Man.

One of the recent additions made bv
George Walter Vincent Smith to his
collection at the art museum is of un-
usual interest. 1t is an immense book
CT missal dating back to 1899, IN which
are inscribed the words and music of
the Gregorian chants of the old Cath
Ole churches, says the Springfield
(Mass) Republican.
The work in this book is beautifully
done, and its great antiquity is evident
from the first sight The words are
inscribed by hand in Latin, and the
music is written out I'm some obsolete
kind of notation. The pages are of
parchment, and in an almost perfect
state Of preservation. The initial let
tiers are beautifully Illuminated.
A single page is nearly four feet long
by about two feet wide, and one man
can hardly handle the wood. 1t is
bound wiki boards of wood, covered
with leather, somewhat worn, and the
brass which is used for trimmings is
corroded. The book was evidently ir-
tended for use on some kind of stand
in some fine old cathedral.
1t is said TO have come from Seville.
Spain, some time ago. and TO have been
sold because of the poverty of the
parish in order to make repairs on the
building. There is said to be but one
other such book in this country. and
that is at Detroit.

HOW CHINESE RISE.
The Feat Of Cutting on a Mans Head
Brought One Monaghan
Fortune.

A correspondent supplies MS with the
biography of a high Chinese official.
who is now one of the leading authori-
ties on foreign affairs. This man, it
seems. was born in Fatshan. and re-
ceived a good education. lie Inherited
some money, which he sqGandered.
and being regarded by his family as
a bad character, he was turned out.
He then came to llong-KOng and set up
as a fortune teller in Taipinshan. where
anyone could have his destiny told
him for few cents. Finding he could
not make much in this line, he again
returned 10 Fatshan, where he started
an opium divan. When his friends dis
covered this they again tried to get
rid of him, and he agreed to go away
for good if he was paid 100 taels The
money was found and the ex-fortunc
teller started for Shanghai When
clansman with whom he had I'M
gratiated himself was promoted 10 the
grade of futal. he reEeiycd an order
from the throne TO behead a certain
eunuch, who was in Disgrace but as
the eunuch was a favorite of the en-
press dowager, no one dare undertake
the execution of the order until the
subject of this biography undertook
the task. lie afterward met Ii Hung
Chang. and his promotion was then
rapid.

FUELING WARSHIPS.
BunLers of Our Great Ocean
Fighters Full of Coal.

One of the greatest triumphs of the
war which has been hidden from pub
lie observation has been the work Of
the several bureaus of the navy de-
partment in furnishing supplies and
equipments for the troops. says a
Washington dispatch in the Chicago
Record. As Secretary Long remarked
il recent interview, their duties have
been quite as valuable as those of the
feet i'm Cuban waters or the harbor
of Manila. But for their fores Ight and
executive ability the ships might have
been helpless for the lack of fuel. ann
munition and food. The superiority
cf our naval organization and the abil-
ity of our bureau chiefs has been dem
Onstrated in a striking manner. One
Of the most remarkable has been fur
nished by the bureau of equipment in
the distribution of coal No matter
bow frequently or suddenly the scene
CT naval activity is changed, the yes
sells must have fuel. and il has been
Commodore BradfOrd's business to see
that loaded golfers were ON hand
when they were wanted. Without the
employment of an extra clerk and
without the slightest parade he has
succeeded in keeping the bunkers of
every vessel in the navy full of coal
from the beginning of hostiiities. no
matter whether they were on the
North Atlantic coast or i'm the Carib-
bean sea. or in the ports of the Pacific
or the Philippine islands. At the same
time he has been able to furnish fuel
for the army transports i'm both oceans
without allowing his coal piles at the
source of supply to be diminished.
Some idea Of the magnitude of this F
task is suggested 10y the fact that
within the last four months 10000
tons Of coal have been delivered 10 the .
ships OF the United States navy I'm va
rious parts of the world. at a cost of .
nearly Sl.OOO.OOO. Over $4,000 tons have
been distributed from Key West alone
and 10000 tons from Honolulu.

Here is story about Commodore
schley that is told in Washington:
About the time that he was looking for
a fleet the question of painting the
ships Of the navy war color was UNI
der solemn consideration by some Of
the precise officers of the big building.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt was
bothered daily by the question Of tints
submitted to him by a board ON war
ship color. when Schley remarked that
he did not care what color his ships
we're painted so long as he had ships.
Paint them red if you like" said he,
or paint them black. but let me have
hem. Color is immateriaI."
