GENTLENESS IN WAR.
4 Singular Characteristic of the
SnmonnB-An lliuEtratlve
Incident.

War is savage in its very nature, and
ane looks for war among savages to be
peculiarly barbarOuS. / iat such is not
always tie case among thr frUple of
Samoa is atlested " Il lei1Gr scUt from
Samoa by All American gentleman who
recently visited Apa, and who gives
description Of MaLaafas army III camp
after IL battle between the rival claim
ants to the throne, says Youths Com
panion.
I'VE went all about among the huts
where the savages were resting after
the battle and making preparations for
the next fight. 1t was very peaceful
scene, for their arms were all concealed
under the mats where the men sat, and
many Of the soldiers were accompanied
by their wives and children. They
were amusing themselves by smoking
and beating tom-toms.
THE Samoans are a most amiable
race of savages, and white people are al
ways perfectly safe among them.
Everywhere we were greeted with
smiles and friendly mods and the saluta-
ton, 'Talofa,' which means Love to
YOU from men, women and children.
Zone instance of their friendly feel
ing occurred during the big battle. A
white man, who lived in the street
where they were fighting, saw that two
OF his horses had strayed out between
the hostile lines. He did not want to
lose them, and he did not want to ven
ture out in The line of fire. So he stuck
a white flag out Of his window. Upon
seeing it, both chiefs ordered their men
to stop firing. and hostilitics were sus-
pended while the white man went out
and drove his horses to place Of shell
ter. Then the combatants went at it
again"

OKLAHOMA GETS RAIN.
But the Government Predicts Dry
Sunday in Texas

Hubbard Bros. & Co, say of cotton to-
day: Rain fell in Oklahoma and at Lit
tie Rock, while the government predicts
dry weather for Texas on Sunday. The
weather map shows no indication of rain
out the trade believe it will be some time
ana when it does, the market will decline.
1t IS this fear which keeps cotton from
responding to the bad crop advices coming
70 hand.
europe absolutely refuses to credit
that any damage has been done and
points to the receipts as an indication of
the correctness of their position. The
American spinners, however. are taking
no chances, but are buying freely to pro
tect themselves. II is their buying which
sustains the market as the trade have
been SO demoralized by successive crop es-
Inmates of Neil, that they fear another
relapse"
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1899-08-27

Murphy & Co., say of cotton to-day:
Under influences of better Liverpool than
looked for Q-32 advance on spots and 2-64
on futureS) our market opened to ) points
above last night, steadied later on local
buying, principally by one large house.
only 10 drop ABOUT points later on re-
ports of low barometer west of the Missis-
s,ppl river which was accepted as favor
abe to rains. Rains would depress values
where continued drought would advance
them Receipts are large, but have no
depressing influence as they ascribed to
the drought that prevailed during the
whole of August
