the roof of Madison Square Garden, a dis

with probably fatal results.
Donaldson travelled for some years with

now running in the Garden. He has been
making two dives daily. The tank is less

the success expected. and came out of the

and ears.
Harry Cornish has charge of the water

gave Donaldson the signal to dive Three

the famous diver leap from the platform,
and, falling slowly forward, make the
plunge. lie shot straight downward, but
it was plain before he had
got half the distance that ne had
lost control of his body. He struck the
water head first. and failed TO come up.
Small circles of blood came bubbling up
from the bottom, and Harry Reeder, the
amateur champion swimmer, and an at

ter The man dived several times and
finally brought Donaldson to the surface
He was apparently dead, with blood flow
ing from the mouth, nostrils and ears from
wounds on the head.
Donaldson was carried 10 one of the
dressing rooms and attended by several
physicians. He was then removed to the
New York Hospital He has a fractured
skull with compression of the brain, and
the left side of his face is crushed in.
The surgeons at the hospital say that
his death is a question of hours.
Witnesses of the accident say that as
Donaldson left the platform the colors
which We're wrapped about him became
loose. His attention was diverted, and he
did not have his wits about him when he
struck the water. He weighed more than
eco pounds, and struck with terrific force.
Donaldson was 20 years old. Just before
making this dive he said he intended to
challenge Ke arney T. Speedy, the cham
pion high jumper of the world.

More Successful Cables.
The success of the 1866 cables so COM
pletely demonstrated the practicab nity of
submarine biography that its progress
thenceforward was very rapid. A second
Anglo M editerranean line was laid from
Malta to Alexandria in 1868, proving a
complete success; a cable between France
and Nova Scotia was laid In 1869 and an
other from Suez to Bombay India In 1871
cable line was laid along the eastern
coast Of Asia to connect with land lines
already constructed across Siberia aud
Russia. These land lines had been built
shortly after the failure Of the first At
lantic cable experiment In the hope of
connecting Europe and America by way OF
Siberia, Behring Straits Alaska, British
America, and the United States, but that
plan becoming unnecessary after the sue
cess of the 1866 cable experiments the land
line across Russia and Siberia was nth
iZed to connect cable system of the east
ern shore of Asia with the land and cable
systems of Europe and America. In 1879
south America was connected by cable
WIN the Onlted states ana thence with
Europe; in 1875 cables were laid along the
coast of Africa, connecting it's important
points with Europe and America; in 1850
cables were laid across the Gulf of Mexico
and along the western coast Of South
America, and connected by an overland
line across the Isthmus Of Panama.

This II is believed is now practicable, since
the distance between the four landing
places now under the control of the United
States, Hawaii, Wake Island, Guam, and
the Philippines is in each case less than
that through which submarine cables are
now being daily operated between France
and the United States.

JOHNSTON OFFERED MONEY.
COyIe Tried to Get Him and Miller
to Sign Paper.


Harrisburg. Pa. March s.-The legisla-
tive probers into the bribery charges in
connection with the McCarrell jury bill
brought out more sensational testimony at
to-nights meeting.
Representative Ervine Johnston of Mort
hampton county, testified that before the
passage of the bill he had a conversation
in a room at the Lochiel Hotel with ex-
Senator John ]. Coyle. He went TO the
room with his colleague Representative
B. Frank Miller, at the latters su5ges-
ton, and found Representatives Spatz of
,Berkes, and Rosenberg of Montgomery,
and possibly some others present.
Mr.. Johnston was introduced TO Mr.
Coyle and he and Miller were left
alone with him. Coyle had a typewriter
paper, the substance of which was that
the Democrats would vote FOR nobody else
than George A. jerks for United States
senator. Coyle asked Johnston to sign the
paper, and told him he would leave the
witness lin on some other bills that would
come up"
Johnston said he refused to sign The
paper, because he and Miller were for
jerks, anyway Coyle told Johnston, who
is a physician, that he was not feeling
well, and that if he would write him
prescription, he (Coyle) would pay him a
fee of either $50 or 500 to sign the paper,
the witness could not reccllect the exact
amount. Coyle urged Johston 20 sign the
paper, and he refused.
Johnston and Miller saw Coyle subse-
quently at the Lochiel Hotel, and the ex-
senator offered an amount of money, as
near as the witness could recollect, to sup
port the McCarrell bill before the post
ponement.
Johnston said that in his conversation
with Coyle it may have been suggested
that Coyle would like him to vote for SEN
ator Quay. Miller corroborated the testi-
mony of his colleague relative to their Wis
its to Coyle's room and stated that on their
visit they went to see Coyle in company
with Representatives Hoch, He'll and
Hersoh.
Miller was called out of Coyle's room,
and he and Johnston were offered $50
apiece by Representative Spatz to sign the
paper. Spatz afterward called Miller aside
and offered him 500
The next time Miller saw Coyle, the ex-
senator asked him: What 1t would cost to
help him out on the McCarrell bill" Miller
said that Coyle spoke about coming in
with the boys" and that people often build
brick houses when they go home from the
legisla lure.
I'm order to get in the ring and geG a
divvy on certain bills, Coyle told us we
would have to sign the paper" Miller add
ed.
The witness said he was told by Coyle
that he could name price to vote for the
McCarrell bill Miller explained that the
paper contained clause that the signers
were to stand together for certain legisla-
ton in addition to voting for jerks. Mixer
was never made any offer by Coyie or any
body else 10 vote for Senator Quay.

Can francisco. March S-Dr. John Raj
~, Iats president of the municipal council
- Ania. arrived here to-day on the steam
er Alameda.
ro an Associated Press representative
-, Rafel said that when he left Samoa
erarvtbing was tranquil and that the Ma
t,of, government was recognized as the
nrovjsional government by the three lead
inc powers, and it had the support of SO
ner cent. of the native population, and a
majority of the foreign population.
THE German consul" said DR.. Raffel,
..oo,ld not enforce the decision of the
cunr4ine Court because he believed that
the decision was in opposition 10 the Gus
toms of the Samoan people, and the Sam
o,n government, and that pending instrue-
tions from the home government he could
not seek to enforce it, particularly when it
mas 50 obnoxious to so large a number OF
the Samoan people.
"As 10 the report that the German con-
sul ned the attack of the Mataafa forces, 3"
he said, That is untrue. American and
British residents will testify to the fact
and Mr.. Morse, an American citizen, has
so informed his government in a commun-
Ication to the administration at Washing
ton.
THE reason the provisional government
closed the Supreme Court is this: The pres
ident of the municipal council under the
treaty. not only has local jurisdiction in
the municipal district, but is also treasurer,
adviser and executive officer of the Samoan
government He is such to the provisional
government under the treaty. The provis-
ioneI government held that it could not
recognize a court TO whose decision it was
in antagonism.
Do Not Recognize the Court.
"Afterward it was decided that it would
not declare the chief justiceship vacant
But Samoans do not recognize the court,
and do not bring suits in it. The whites,
however, do.
MY opinion is that if the treaty powers
attempt to forcibly install the Malietoa
government, 1t will simply result in the
Mataafa government controlling every
thing outside of Apia. Allowing for defec-
tons to the Malietoa government in case it
is recognized, the Mataafa government will
still have a vast majority of the parti-
sans"
1.-THE influence of the London Mission
airy Society in Samoa corrupted the cleo
tons for King, and thereby caused the
temporary installation of Tanus, the Ma
letoa party chief. The Samoans would
not submit to this, for the reason that
they knew Mataafa to have been elected,
but defrauded of his rights. Hence the
uprising.
"Tanus is but a mere boy, Is years of
age. He is under the influence of the
Protestant society. Mataafa is a Catho-
lie. The London Missionary Society was
fearful that If Mataafa were elected it
would lose its power. Therefore Tauus
was put in. This, in brief, was the cause
Of the whole trouble"

liveliest kind of a row over the consldera-
ton of the House resolution indorsing

Ing against the seating of Gen. Wheeler In

was defeated by a close vote 10 to Il. An
amendment was then adopted, providing
that the adoption Of the resolution should
not be construed as a reflection on Con-
gresham Joe Wheeler.
An amendment setting forth that the
adoption Of the resolution should not be
considered as allying the Texas Senate TO
Bailey's support for United States sena-
tor two years hence. was voted down by
the close vote OF 10 to II.
After much speech-making, during which
senators expressed themselves as being on
posed TO worshipping in any such a
marked manner, the friends of the resoh1-
tion managed to get ii adopted by a hur-
red viva yoce vote.
