DESTROY. NOXIOUs WEEDS.
This Is the Injunction Contained ia
the Mayors PrOcIamafiOn

Mayor Kiefer in his walks abroad
has noticed that there are a number Of
vacant lots where weeds are allowed to
grow undisturbed. To the mind of the
chief executive the unrestrained growth
of the weeds especially in the more cen
traI and resident portions of the city
destroys the beauty of the streets. With
a view of correcting the evil and beside
making the streets more attractive and
reducing the chances of hay fever to the
citizens. his honor issued yesterday the
following proclamation:
Mayors Office. ST Paul-To all own
ers, agents or occupants of any lands
situated in the city of ST. Paul: Atten-
ton is hereby respectfully called to the
fact that a considerable number of vacant
lots are infested with burdocks and 9TH
er noxious weeds which are rapidly en-
croaChing on vacant lots all over the
city.
There is a state law requiring all such
weeds to be destroyed, and every one is
requested to cut down all weeds now, be-
fore the millions of seeds fall and make
the work harder for next year, and
thereby rid the city of hayfeVer germs
and also add their mite to the beauty of
our city.
1t might be added that after the weedr
are cut down. they should be burned and
not allowed to decay in the sun.

F4CT|ONAL FIGHTS IN OHIO
ToDAY'S MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS
OF NATIONAL INTEREST.
Senator Foraker and the Administra-
ton Forces Are Taking Part In
Contests-Situation at Cleveland.

Cincinnati, April 2.-While the munich
pal elections in Ohio tomorrow are for
local offices, yet they have strong bear
ings on state and national politics and
also on factional interests i'll both par
ties. The municipal machinery Will have
great influence in the selection of dele
gates to the state conventions 10 be held
next month or later, and the candidates
for the gubernatorial and other state
nominations are conducting aggressive
municipal elections. The bearing on ma
tional politics is seen in Senator For
aker s presence and interest in the course
of events. If a. Republican governor
should be elected next November who is
unfriendiy to the senior Ohio senator,
that governor would no doubt be at the
head of the state ticket for his second
term two years hence, when members OF
the legislature are elected TO choose the
successor to Foraker.
The friends of the national adniniStra-
ton want a solid Ohio delegation to the
national Republican convention a year
hence. The Republican candidate for
mayor of Cleveland, the home of Senator
Hanna is Robert MckiSSOn, who was the
fusion candidate before the legislature in
January of last year for senator against
Senator Hanna. 1t is stated throughout
the state that McKisson is running for a
third term not for the mayoralty alone,
ident Mckinley, Senator Hanna and 9TH
ers in the OHIO state conventions this year
and next year and of controlling the four
delegates from the Cleveland districts
and, if possible, other Ohio delegates to
the national convention next year.
In other Ohio cities the factional lines
are less directly drawn. In Toledo there
are two Republicans running for mayor,
while the Democrats have but one candi-
date. In this city there is no election for
mayor, but much interest is taken in the
election of two members of the board of
city affairs, which controls the local mu-
nicipal patronage. The usual fight is be-
ing waged by the Democrats and inde-
pendent Republicans against George B.
Cox, the Republican boss"

DISASTER TO PROVO OARSNEN
ACADEMY SCULLERS GIVEN AN
UNDESIRED BATH.
Their Racing Craft Was Leaky and
Foundered and Four Men We're
Compelled to Wade Ashore.


Provo, April YESTERDAY afternoon the
3. Y. A boat crew went down to the lake
and had their first ride, also their first
swim this year.
The boys intend to use their new boat
in May in contemplated race with the
crew of the L. of L. They yesterday made
their first trial for practice. Unfortun-
ately the boat a sculi for four men, was
rather old, needed repairs, was leaky and
not the best kind of Il craft to float in on
cold day.
The crew was made up of Claud King.
c. T.. Berry. T. D. Reese and T. c. HCyt.
with Manager Shepperd The latter L
little fellow, stayed on the shore. while
the others bravely entered the narrow
scull out into the lake they rowed for
200 yards or more. Then King, seeing the
shore so far away. ordered the rowers TO
heave to; water was coming in the bot
tom; it was best to return and bail it out.
So return they did, but not far. \ hun
dred yards had been covered when the
boat suddenly filed, and the order rang
out. Jump and they jumped into the
cold water that embraced them up to
their necks. The boat sank one foot un-
der the surface. 1t had to be towed back
one-half mile diagOnally; the water was
so cold that the boys legs became numb
and they were sorry crew when at last
they reached the shore. Shepperd stood
on the beach all the time and laughed at
them. 1t was aggravating, but never
daunted. the boys will try it again. How
ever. the boat will be repaired before it
is used again.

SAMOAN PEOPLEAND PRODuTcS
ISLANDS HAVE A POPULATION
OF $4,000.
Land Is Very Fertile and Produces
Cocoanuts, Cotton, Sugar and Cof-
fee-Exports and Imports.

Washington, April 2-The people,
productions and commercial and strate-
gic Importance of the Samoan islands
are discussed in a publication just is
sued by the treasury bureau of sta
tistics. The islands lie in an almost
direct line between San Francisco and
Australia, and slightly south of the di-
rect steamship line connecting the
Philippines with the proposed Panama
or Nicaragua inter-oceanic canals.
Their special Importance, therefore, it
is stated, lies in their position as
ooallnS and repair stations on these
great highways of commerce, rather
than in their direct commercial value,
their population being small and their
imports and exports of comparatively
little Importance.
The group consists of ten inhabited
and two uninhabited islands, with an
area of 1,100 square miles, and an aS-
gregate population, according to latest
estimates of $4,000 people, of which
something over 200 are British subjects;
125 Germans, 20 Americans, 25 French
and % of other natioqalities. while the
remainder are natives of the PolyneS
ian race. The bulk of the population
is located in the three islands of Opo-
lou, Savaii and Tutuila, the number in
OpOlOu UtlHS lO,OUV, III sodNdll 1A,oOV, di4u
in Tutuitla, which contains the harbor
of Pago-Pago, ceded to the United
States in 1873 for a naval and coaling
station, 3,700 The islands are of vol
canic origin but fertile, producing CO.
coanuts, cotton, sugar and coffee; the
most important, however, being cocoa
nuts, from which the "copra" of COM
merce is obtained by drying the kernel
of the cocoanut. The expectation of
copra from the islands in 1896 amounted
to 12,565,909 pounds, valued at S291,972.
A considerable proportion of this was
exported to the United States, and a
larger proportion to Germany, whose
citizens control its commerce through a
trading company, which has long been
established there.
which $47, ,552 came from the United
States, $40, S02 from Germany, S17S,S57
from. Australia, $7,044 from Great Brit
ain, and 1904 from other countries.
Expores in 1896 were 1868, ,O47, of which

FILIPINO BOASTS.
Insurgents viii Fight Until Last
Man Is Killed.

Paris, April 2.-Agoncillo, the agent
of Aguinaldo, in the course of an in
terview published today in La Patrie,
says: THE capture Of Aalolos is not
as important as the Americans are try
ing to make it appear. The Filipino
government had already determined on
removal to San Fernando, and a small
detachment of troops was left, with
orders to burn the town and thus to
draw the Americans inland
Two months of rain and fever will
save the Filipinos their ammunition
and a good deal of trouble, and the
war will not end while a single Filipino
remains to bear arms"
ASoncillo charges Major General
Otis with opening the hostilities, and
holds the Americans responsible for
the transfer of the Spanish prisoners
and for preventing the Filipinos nego-
tiating a treaty with Spain. Agoncino
is confined to his room with influenza.
