San Francisco, March S. - The steamer
Alameda has arrived from Australia via
Samoa and Honolulu. When the Alameda
left Apia everything was quiet under the
direction OF the provisional government,

Rslfel, the late president OF the munici-
pal council Of Apis, arrived hore TO day

that when he left Samoa the Mataafa
government was recognized as the pro
visionsl government by the three leading
powers and had the support OF 30 per
cent OF the native population aud ma
jOrity OF the foreign population. My
opinion" he eaid, " is that IL the treaty
OF the powers attempts 70 force the in-
stallatiOn Of the aiitt1A government II
will simply result in the Matasfa gov
eminent going into power and control

In n Cinralsso l,n,i Cart.

For both danger and discomfort q
bull cart In Ceylon Is hard to beat. The
bull Is Of uncertain temper. and the
cart Is 80 constructed as to top one out
on the slightest ~provccation. The bull
is driven by a string passed through
his nostrils, and a yoke lies on his
neck behind his hump. but there Is
nothing to prevent him getting free
from the yoke when he likes. and this
he frequently does BY suddenly run
ming to the dangerous side OF the road
and coming TO a dead stop with his
head on the ground. This results In
the driver being thrown on to the
shafts. and the unhappy passenger. who
sits as one does on the back seat OF a
dog cart, being thrown backwards on
the top OF all. The cart however, Is
not a high one. and the victims pick
themselves up without damage. and go
on till the bull tires and the same
thing happens against. Peters.

Dog Whips Lion.

The power of n dog named Mardo Is
described In Leslie's Weekly. The an
imal belongs to Superintendent Sol
Stephan, OF the Cincinnati Zoo. The
fight took place in the carnlvora build
Ing OF the famous gardens a few weeks
ago. The keeper OF the lion had taken
him out OF his cage and was exercising
him up and down the wide corridor,
with only a small chain attached to
the animals collar. Suddenly the lion
became unruly and attacked the keep
CT. Mardo saw the hostile movements
OF the lion, which Is three-quartcrs
grown, and much larger and heavier
than the dog. and he knew his masters
danger. The dog vas on the lions
back In an instant. and In less than
three minutes he had thrashed the an
imal SO thoroughly that 1t whined for
mercy. Although the dog Is only IS
months old, and virtually a puppy. still
It was too much for the king of beasts.
and the latter was led back to his cage
after the fight, n wiser and a meeker
lion. Mardo is now the king OF the
zoo, and numerous offers for him from
other cities and from circus and mu-
scum managers have been refused. lie
Is a Great Dane and he has proved
himself a great fighter.
