Fayne VIII Not Star

New York letter in Pittsburg Dispatch
Fayne Moore is still in the Tombs, and
the chances are she will not star In the

the fabulous salary of $1,000 week-just
how much of which was to be stage money

was to do today he sent representative
to the district attorneys office. The latter
introduced himself to the assistant district

as to the procedure in bail cases, said: I'VE

MI. Dingley Not a Joker

From the Chicago Record.
John Allen, of Mississippi, the humorist
of tho house, declares that the late Mr..
Dingley was devoid of humor. One day,
while on his way to the capitol, Mr.. Allen
stopped In front of a we'll known book
store and proceeded to take mental in
ventory of the contents of the window. Mr..
Dingley came along and noticing Mr.. Allen,
stopped to speak to him.
'Oh, Mr.. Dingley," said Mr.. Allen, ''I am
glad to sec you, Do you know 1 was just
thinking about you? We were informed
that after the passage of your tariff bill
there would be immense prosperity and that
prices would go up. Instead, l notice in
this store that there has been a cut of so
per cent. That does not look very much
like prosperity, does it Mr. Dingley?"
There must be some mistake Mr.. AL
len," said Mr.. Dingley "A reduction of 50
per cent? Why that is impossible
Fact, l assure you" said Mr.. Allen, try
ing hard to look as serious as Mr.. Dingley.
Just look at that picture of Mr.. Cleveland.
/ used to have to pay so cents apiece for
them, and now they are marked down to
10 cents"
But, Mr.. Allen that is because he has
retired, you know. My tariff bill has really
nothing to do with it, can assure you,"
was Mr.. Dlngley's solemn response.

A Duplex Ouestioner

From the New York Telegram.
The treasurer of a theater wrestles with
many phases of humanity, all of which are
more or less interesting. Hugh Quarles, the
Bijou treasurer, claims to have had an en-
tirely new one in the person OF a du-lex
question asker. Late Saturday afternoon
gentleman stepped up to the box office and
asked If Mr.. Aronson was in.
"IIe is in Chicago" replied Mr.. Quarles.
He is in Chicago? When do you expect
him back?'
'"Tommorrow, SIR
Tomorrow? He won't be in before?'
mot until Sunday" said the treasurer.

good seats for tonight?"

there will be contests, and the most that
can be claimed by the gold men is that wa
are not positively certain to hold these two
states while the following states now rep
resented by gold men, can certainly not be
claimed as sure to send a solid gold -delega-
ton, namely; Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Min

West Virginia and Wyoming.
From all this, it is perfectly safe to assert,
without fear of contradiction, that If the
bimetallists succeed in electing the presi-
dent in 1900, they will unquestionably have
a clear working majority in the United
States senate. JAMES K. JONES.

Affair Is Regretted.

Washington. March 3O.-The state de-
partment has not received official ad-
vices relating to the occurrences in.
Samoa. The demonstration is regret
ted, but the opinion is expressed that
Kautz acted on what was his best judg-'
ment and information at the state de-
partment acknowledges no permanent
agreement can be reached under the
treaty in which all three powers do not
agree and the hope is some settlement
of the difficulty may be brought about
when it becomes apparent the present
conditions cannot exist indefinitely.
Kautz acted within his instructions
There is no doubt with the facts now
at hand Kautz will be sustained by the
United States government. No word
has been received from Kautz, although
a cablegram is momentarily expected.

GERMANY is NEUTRAL
Several of Our People We're Killed

Apia, Samoan Islands, March 23, via
Auckland, N. T., March 29.-Copy-
right by the Associated Press.-The
Troubles growing out Of the election of
a king of Samoa have taken more
serious turn aud resulted in the bonn
bardment Of native villages along the
shore by the United States cruiser Phil
adelphia. Admiral Kautz commanding,
and the British cruisers Porpoise and
Royalist. The bombardment has con-
tinued intermittently for eight days.
Several villages have been burned and
there have been number of casualties
among the American and British sail
ors and marines. AS yet it is impossi-
BILE to estimate the number of natives
killed or injured. As Mataafa and his
chiefs, constituting the provisional gov
ernment, continued to defy the treaty
after the arrival of the Philadelphia,
Admiral Kautz summoned the various
consuls and the senior naval officers to
conference on board the Philadelphia,
when the whole question was carefully
canvassed. The upshot was a resolu-
tion to dismiss the provisional govern
ment and Admiral Kautz issued a proc
lamation calling on Mataafa and his
chiefs to return to their homes.
Mataafa evacuated Mulinuu, the
town be had made his headquarters,
and went into the interior. Herr Rose,
the German consul at Apia, issued a
proclamation supplementing the one
he had issued several weeks before, up
holding the provisional government
AS result of this the Mataafans as
sem bled in large force and hemmed in
the town. The British cruiser Royalist
brought the Malietoa prisoners from
the island to which they had been
transferred by the provisional govern
ment. The Americans then fortified
Mulinuu, where $4,000 Malietoans
took refuge.
! The rebels-the adherents of Mataafa
-barricaded the roads within the
Municipality and seized the British
houses. An ultimatum was sent to
them. ordering them to evacuate and
threatening them, in the event of re-
fusal, with ombardment, to COM
mence at 1 o'clock OIL the afternoon of
March Is. This was ignored and the
rebels commenced all attack in the di-
rection of the United States and Brit
ish consulates about half an hour before
the time fixed for the bonn pardment.
The Philadelphia, Porpoise and Royal
ist opened fire upon the distant villages.
There was great difficulty in locating
the enemy owing to the dense flames.
Several villages were soon in flames.
A shell from the Philadelphia exploded
near the American consulate and the
marines outside narrowly escaped. A
fragment struck the leg of Private
Rudge, shattering it Sc badly AS to ne
cessitate an amputation. Another
fragment traversed to the German con-
sulate. smashing the crockery. The
Germans then went on board the Ger
man cruiser Fake. During the night
