The Business of Copra Making Is Again
in Full Swing.
San Francisco, Sept 22.-The steamer
Mariposa brings the following news
from Apia. Samoa, dated Sept. 8:
Another month has passed and all is
quiet in Samoa. The natives are in
their homes and copra making has
been in full swing, consequently bust
ness Is brisk and copra is in plenty.

The news that Consul Maxse has been
decorated and made C. M. G., was re-
ceived with satisfaction by the British

was quite natural that Germany would
also recognize Consul Roses services
and the Germans are delighted that he
should have also been decorated with
the order of the Red Eagle. The United
States vessel Ambernda came in
yesterday from Pago-Pago harbor
with her coal on fire The damage,
which Is only slight, will soon be over
come.

w. Cooper, who has Just returned
from visit to Mataafa, reports that
he has almost recovered from his re-
cent illness. A local firm has received
from a London house notes for 20 shill-
ings and other denominations for coll
lection here. The notes are drawn On
the Bank of Samoa and are deliberately
engraved with Samoan scenes. There
is no such concern as the Bank Of
Samoa, and so the notes are fictitious.
The ones received here are numbered
as high as 1000 and it is surmised that
at least this number of notes have been
put into circulation. The notes are
signed by person who was here over
a year ago endeavoring to interest capt.
tai in a visionary coral scheme.

Mr.. Moss. the attorney of the commits

tanned the position assumed by the chief

comments from Mr.. Moss, who seemed 10

the general public would naturally be
suspicious of the origin and the DISPOSE
ton of the stock.

ELECTRICAL WORKERS.
Secretary of the Union Before the Indus

Washington, Sept. PR. A. Sherman
of Rochester, n. Y, secretary of the
Electrical Workers of America, was
the first witness before the industrial
commission to-day. Most Of the men,
bers are linemen.
He said the dues of his organization
was 60 cents per month. There was
a 500 death benefit. There had been IL
strikes in the organization in IL
months; of these the organization had
won II and compromised one and one
was still on.
The organization does not include
more than per cent of the electrical
workers.
AS a rule the workers had steady en-
ployment. There was much extra work
for which extra pay was obtained. The
average pay was about So per day. His
organization believed in compulsory
arbitration. In the strike at Cleveland
the union had offered to appeal the is
sue to the state board of arbitration,
but the telephone company refused.
Compulsory arbitration, in his opinion,
should carry with it power of enforcing
a compliance of the decree.

pretty good game. Some costly errors
in the field made the score worse

Denzer was hit "a times and Maupin Is.

and McNeely of Billings both made
home runs, sending the ball over the
end fence. If this record had been
maintained to the end, the score would

pany, shot and killed Frank Leiden,
stage manager and leading man of the
company, at 8 o'clock tonight at the
City Opera house on the stage just be-
fore the curtain rose for the perform
ance to begin. Three shots were fired
at close range by the woman, all TAX
ing effect in Leiden's head. He sank
to the floor and was dead in a few min
utes. The woman was arrested and
taken to the city Jail.
A coroner's inquest was held, at
which it was developed that trouble
had existed between Leiden and Miss
Morrison and to-day she slapped him.
1t appears that Leiden raised hue and
cry over the woman's bad acting and
that Leiden said she was an amateur.
The woman state that Leiden made in
sulting proposals to her and in defense
she shot him. The verdict of the COR
oners jury was that the murder was
premeditated and wholly unjustifiable.
The woman claims to be from New
York and a man with the company
names James she claims as her hus-
band. James has been arrested as the
instigator of the crime.

A GOOD SHOWING.
Sub Marine Torpedo Boat Holland Given
a Trial.

Greenport, N. Y, Sept. 22.-The sub
marine torpedo boat Holland made
remarkably good showing during the
practice run to-day in Little Peconic
bay. The new diving apparatus for
operating the storing engines worked
successfully, the boat sinking under
water completely out of sight in quick
time. The trial was in sending the
boat over a mile course submerged, at
the end of which it came to the sur
face and the torpedo was discharged
from the tube. The run under the wa
ter was made in about 10 minutes and
the torpedo was successfully discharged
from the tube, but owing to what Is
thought to have been a disarrangement
of some of the mechanism, the torpedo
instead of taking straight course took
a downward turn and the volume OF
muddy water sent up showed that 1t
struck the bottom about so feet from
the bow of the boat.
