RAFFEL At SAN FRANClsto.
His version of the samoan DIM
cuItv-Prescnt situation.

SAN FRANCISCO, March S.-Dr. John
Raflel. lately the president of the Munich
pal Council Of Apia, arrived here to-day
on the steamer Alameda. TO an Associ-
ated Press representative he said that
when he left Samoa everything was tran
quill: that the Mataafa Government was
recognized as the provisional government
by the three treaty Powers, and that IL
had the support Of 30 per cent. or the
native population and a majority OF the
foreign population.
THE German Consul" said Mr. Raffel,
could not enforce the decision OF the
Supreme Court. because ne believed that
the decision was in opposition to the Gus
toms Of the Samoan people and the Sa-
moan Government. and that, pending m
structions from the home government, re
could not seek to enforce IL, particularly
when IL was 50 obnoxious 20 50 large
number of the Samoan people
"As to the report that the German Con-
sui led the attack of the Mataafa forces,
he said that is untrue. American ana
British residents will testify 20 the fact,
and Mr.. Morse. an American citizen, has
so informed his government in %omnlu-
nicatiOn TO the administration at Wash
ington.
WHY COURT WAS CLOSED.
"The reason the provisional government
closed the Supreme Court is this: The
president of the Municipal Council. under
the treaty. not only has local jurisdiction
in the municipal district. but is also trea-
surer. adviser, and executive officer OF
the Samoan Government. He is such 10
the provisional government, under the
treaty. The provisional government held
that it could not recognize court to
whose decision il was i'm antagOnism. Al
terward it was decided that it would not
declare the f-justiceship vacant. but
Samoans do not recognize the court. and
do not bring suits in it. The whites, how
ever. do.
MY opinion is that if the treaty
Powers attempt 10 force the inStallatiOn
of the Malietoa Government, il will sim
ply end i'm the Mataafa Governments
controlling everything outside Of Apa.
Allowing for defections to the MalictOa
Government, in case it is recognized. the
Mataafa Government will still have a
vast majority of partisans."

MIR. DIsHOP NOT YET FOUND.
IL Il Feared That lie Has Lost hi'
Life i'm the snow.

MINERAL CITY. VA. March S.-(Spe-
cial.)-Much excitement still exists in this
community over the disappearance or
mysterious absence since Monday night
Of Mr.. w. b. Bishop formerly proprietor
OF the Spotswood Hotel, i'm Richmond
and a hotel-man well known in the Soutn.
He has been i'm feeble health Tor several
months. and seemed to delight in long
walks through the woods-geneIaily
alone. but always between this place ana
the several mines two miles distant.
Every one knew and loved the elderly
gentleman for his gentle manners and
winning ways.
He left this station about . o'clock on
the afternoon of Monday last, ana was
last seen near the Arminus mines. Up TO
this writing no trace of him has Deei
found although searching parties nave
secured the woods for miles around all
most constantly since II O'Clock last night.
The storm which commenced about tha'
hour has covered the entire country with
snow a foot deep drifting badly in places,
which makes the search difficult and
fears are entertained that when DIS
covery is made it will only be of the life
less BODY of the much-beloved gentleman.
All the dwellings in the immediate Vlci-
nifty have been visited. and no traces
found Searching parties are now out
consisting of probably seventy men on
horseback and on foot with dogs.

CURES WITHOUT PAIN.
One of the Best Features OF the
New Pile Cure.


The Pyramid Pile Cure cures all forms
Of piles without one particle OF pain. This
desirable point is not obtained by the
use OF injurious opiates. which simply
deaGen and paralyze the nerves OF the
parts and make matters worse IN the
long run. But il Is done solely by its re-
markable healing and soothing effects.
And while It thus gives immediate re-
lief. at the same time the disease is not
merely checked, but a radical cure is
rapidly accomplished.
And the point we want 10 make clear
IL that all this Is done without par
ticle OF pain.
This fact is one great reason for the
popularity OF the Pyramid Pile Cure, and
constitutes one very great difference be-
tween 1t and almost any other kind OF
treatment for piles.
Every kind Of surgical operation for
piles is excruciatingly painful besides
endangering the life OF the patient. and
in most cases Is not 10 be compared with
the Pyramid cure neither IN making sue
cessful cures without pain nor Ia cheap
ness and safety.
The Pyramid Pile cure has been before
the public so long and its merits recog-
nized by too many people 10 allow 1t TO
be cassed with the many salves, sup
positores, pills. etc. and you run no
risk in trying H. as Is often the case
with untried preparations

AIIcgcdIy Illegal Arrest of Coast
Survey Officials.

survey OUlclaIs.
WASHINGTON, March S.-The Secre-
tary of the Treasury has received from
Superintendent Prtchett, of the Coast
and Goedetic Survey, Il strong protest
against the arrest of two officials of his
department at New Orleans during the
Mardi-Gras festivities in February last.
1t appears from Mr.. Pritchett's letter
that Mr.. Phelps and Mr. Frsby, aides
in the Coast and Geodetic Survey. both
men Of high standing and character We're
arrested and taken to prison on the charge
of being pickpockets. They were refused
permission TO communicate with friends,
and were subjected TO shameful indigni-
ties. The cell into which they We're put
is said to have been vile beyond dcscrip-
ton; they were compelled to spend the
night in company with low criminals.
were subjected to kicks and blows from
the guards. and were treated IN a most
inhumane and outrageous manner"
Superintendent Prtchett says that these
gentlemen have a right TO look TO the
department for protection, and therefore
he asks that the matter be brought To
the attention Of the United States District
Attorney'a at New orleans, and that de-
mand be made for the dismissal of the
officials concerned.
Mr.. Frisby and Mr.. Phelps are on duty
| on the schooner Quick.
Secretary Gage has as yet taken no
action. but it is likely that the matter
| will be investigated.
