in the Islands," said Judge Tripp. and
no further trouble may be anticipated.
After the Moana left we held several
or fonos. as they are called
in Samoa, with native chiefs at differ
ent districts. at which we were cor
daily received. You will find a very
good description OF our trip in this last
copy OF the Weekly Samoan Herald.
AT these conferences with the na-
lives over $50 high chiefs gave their
assent to the new form OF government
No white men or reporters
were allowed to- be present. and as lit
lie as possible OF the proceedings was
made public. The form OF government
agreed on will be presented to- our re-
'pective governments. and. II agreed
o. will then be placed in force all over

aimed without difficulty by United
states Consul Osborn. II. b. VI. Consul

A LIEN CASE ON TRIAL
Contractors Seek to Recover an
Alleged Balance.
THE QUESTIONS INVOLVED
Defendant Claims the Contractors Did
Not Live Up to Their Agreements,
and, Therefore. Were Damaged
to the Amount of $500.

In the district court yesterday the case
of H. p. Leck and Andrew Leck, con-
tractors, against Frank Strickfaden, was
called up for trial. The jury in the case
is composed as follows: Moses Riberdie,
Erick Larson. J. w. smurr, J. ]. Mean
drews, NJ. McMulen, James Ahern, John
Johnson, William Merrifield Mat Hartz,
Hugh Gallagher, l.. P. Beck and John F.
Sullivan.
The suit is brought by the Lecks to
foreclose a lien or to recover balance
claimed to be due on contract for build
ing a certain building on Park avenue
The amount sued for is 1851 40 which is
the amount of the balance claimed to be
due. The defendant does not deny or dis
pute the amount of the claim. but con-
tends that he is entitled to $500 of that
amount for the reason that the Lecks did
not complete the building as per contract,
the specific nature of the failure being
that the contractors agreed to complete
and have ready for occupancy the lower
floor of the building by Sept s. 1897, and
the upper floor short time later, whereas
it is alleged that the contractors failed to
carry out their agreement. and instead of
having the building completed upon the
dates set forth in the contract, they did
not complete it until some time after
wards which alleged failure, it is claimed
by the defendant, to have damaged him in
the sum of $500, in that he lost that sum
in rentals which the building might have
earned had it been completed according
to contract
The plaintiffs contend that it was i'm
possible for them to complete the build
ing upon the date named for the reason
that the defendant prevented them from
so doing by the fact that certain plumb
ing job was not finished SO that the Lecks
could go ahead with their work. and that
they were delayed in other ways by the
negligence of the defendant
After the Introduction of the plaintiffs
testimony the defendant moved for a nom
suit. which motion was overruled.t The
testimony for the defense is not yet all
in, but will probably be concluded to-
day.
There is also another case pending ex-
actly like the present one. 1t is that of
the Lecks against Peckham & Frinke
The two suits involve the two sides of the
same building. Oft

DEMOCRATIC. DlSSENSION.
Two of Them Have Voted With the Quay
Members. ... VI, e.

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 2.-The frs.
sign of dissension in the democratic
ranks has come as a result of the Nc
Carroll bill to prevent district attor-
neys from setting aside jurors. The
bill passed the senate finally yesterday
by the votes of the Quay members and
two democrats. To-day it was the sub
ject of lively discussion by a caucus
of the democratic members of the
house.
A resolution was introduced pedging
the democrats to vote to postpone the
consideration of the measure when it is
taken up by the house Feb. 81. Four
representatives opposed the resolution
and stated that they would vote for
the bill when ii came UP in the house.
Two others declared that it was a mis-
take to vote for the bill at this time
and urged their colleagues to stand
their ground against the measure until
the time fixed by the resolution, when
the conspiracy cases of Senator Quay
will be called in the Philadelphia
courts. The debate was brought to
close by a motion that the resolution be
indefinitely postponed. The motion
carried and a resolution was adopted
pledging the democrats to remain from
the joint session of the senate and house
next Saturday and Monday.

ON THE WAR PATH.
A General Uprising of Indians Feared In
Alaska.

Alaska.
Chicago, Feb. "a special to the
Tribune from Vancouver. B. G. says:
Indians are on the warpath in Alaska.
One battle has taken place and more
hghting is imminent -Four Indians
were killed and several wounded in the
fight which has already taken place.
-Four American deputy marshais We're
wounded. The Indians are drunk and
there may be general uprising.
The steamer Clutch brings the news
of the battle at Juneau. An Indian
was killed by United States Marshal
Mcclure in self deferse. Fearing the
dead mans death would be avenged
by his friends. a vigilance committee
was formed who acted promptly, cap
tured the malcontents and took them
to prison. On promising good behavior
they were liberated next day, but the
revengefu1 nature of the savages de-
manded blood for blood. The pretended
acquiescence was ruse. Plying them
selves with liquor. the bloodthirsty
Alaskans deliberately planned the muir
der of every member of the vigilance
committee. The attack was made at
night. A friendly Indian warned the
whites of the contemplated treachery
and as the Siwashes advanced on the
town with drunken yells the officers
warned them back. They still came
forward opening fire, which the whites
promptly returned.
The United States marshal and his
followers, having the advantage of
position, We're able to pour in deadly
fire. After the first fusillade, the saw
ages stampeded hurr'iedly into the dark
ness, leaving their dead and wounded
comrades on the ground.

HIS Mission Accomr,ishaa

Havana, Feb. 2.-Robert P. Porter
special commissioner, arrived here this
evening from Remedies He met Gen
eral Wood at Colon, on his way to
Cienfuegos and Santiago. General
WOOD, who was delighted to hear of
the outcome of the conference, said it
greatly smplified the problem of Gu
ban reconstruction. Mr. Porter called
upon Governor General Brooke imme-
diately after his arrival and presented
to him the written acceptance of Cen
eral Gomez of the invitation to come
to Havana. He will leave for Wash
ington tomorrow morning, going by
way of Miami.
General Gomez, he says, will receive
a hearty reception here and the visit
will result in much good. as the Cuban
commander will bring all his staff,
which includes many young and active
officers, eager to meet and know the
Americans, and full of ideas about po-
Icing and other problems. Mr.. Por-
ter declined to be interviewed, except
to say that he had received orders
from President Mckinley a week ago
to-day to bring General Gomez and
Governor General Brooke together, and
having accomplished this he was now
returning home.

A FAMINE IN RUSSIA.
Great Destitution Has Followed Extensive
Crop Failures.

Great DestitutiOn Has Followed Extensive
Crop Failures.
Washington, Feb. 2.-Ambassador
Hitchcock, from st. Petersburg. has
reported to the state department on
the famine conditions prevailing in GER
tain parts of Russia. The report is
taken from the statement of the Red
Cross society in the Official Gazette.
Ambassador Hitchcock says that be-
fore transmitting the report in question
he called upon the minister of foreign
affairs to ascertain whether the report
as set forth was accurate and whether
or not the imperial government would
care to have the matter brought to the
attention of the public in America with
a view of enlisting the sympathies and
action of our people who responded so
generously to call made upon them
under similar conditions several years
ago. Count Muravieff stated that the
report might be considered official.
Destitution following the failure of
crops exists in seven eastern and two
central provinces of Russia and the
relief work is being carried on by the
Russian imperial government through
the agency of the Russian Red Cross,
because it was felt that direct govern
ment aid might foster a feeling among
the peasant class that they had right
to demand rather than to request as
sistance, even when their suffering was
the direct result of their own laziness
as we'll as the failure CT their crops

Wants Two Associations.

Chicago. Feb. 2.-General passenger
agents of Western roads met to-day to
take action regarding the proposed reor-
ganZation of the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION and good progress was made
towards an agreement. The 500 line was
the only important road not represented.
General Passenger Agent LomaX of the
Union PGcihc was not present during the
morning session, but appeared in the af-
ternoon. Much depends upon the action
of the latter road, as it is the only trans
Missouri road not entirely favorable to
the formation of an association covering
all territory west of Chicago, St. Louis
and st. Paul to the Rocky mountains.
The Union Pacific wants two associations,
one east and one west of the Missouri

BIG GAME IN CANADA.
Reappearance of the Wapiti-Many Large
~ Moose and Deer Killed.

Reappearance of the Wapiti-Many Large
~ Moose and Deer Killed.
"a Al special dispatch to the New York
Sun from Quebec says: The Cert Ca
maiden. commonly known in English as
the wapiti, or Canadian elk, whose scien-
tific name is elaphus canadensis, and
which was supposed to have become ex-
tinct in Eastern Canada, has made its
temperance in the province of Que
bee, and an enormous specimen was re-
Gently killed on the banks of the Caus-
apscal salmon stream in the county of
Bonaventure The natives who killed it
used up the carcass never thinking Of
the value that the taXidermist's art
could give to it, but the head fortu-
nately escaped and has been acquired
by the fish and game department of the
province, for which it is now being
mounted. 1t will be one of the promi-
nent trophies in the fish and game eX-
iaibit to be made by the province of
Quebec at the sportsmen's exposition
in New York next March, and is de-
scribed as a monster.
Up to about 1926 these noble animals
roamed the Saguenay and Lake St.
John country in large herds They We're
then killed off, whenever and wherever
found, for the sake of their hides, by
the Montagnais Indians, and for some
time they have been supposed to be
about as extinct as the American bison.
Sir James LIE Nome wrote in 1872 that
the wapiti had quite disappeared from
Canada, except in some. few rare 10
ealities in the West. Sir John Richard
son, the famous naturalist, had writ
ten some years previously, placing its
eastern limit at a line drawn from the
southern extremity of Lake Winnipeg
to the Saskatchewan-103 degree east
longitude. Despite the testimony of
several Indians, who said they occa sion
ally saw specimens of the elks in parts
OF this province nearly 80 years ago,
Sir James LIE Nome persisted in the
belief that they must have been gigaa-
tic moose and declared in his Auburn du
Touriste" that all that remained of the
noble game We're its bones and it's horns,
found sometimes in the forest and
sometimes underground. For at least 20
years there has been no authentic rec
erd of the existence of the elk in East
ern Canada, but the recent reappear-
ance of the animals seems to indicate
that few specimens must have con-
tinued their habitat here, undiscovered.
An adult elk is five feet high at the
shoulders, at least a foot higher than
the common European stag, and Its
horns often weigh 10 times as much
as those of the red or Virginia deer.
Under the system of fish and game pro-
tection enforced by the Hon. S. N. Pa
rent, minister of lands, forests and fish
cries of the province of Quebec. an early
increase of elk may be looked for, and
in! the meantime the killing of them
may hesentireB .prohibited for a time
The provincial parliament met on
Thursday last, and among the most i'm
portant work of the session will be Mr..
Parents bills to amend and consolidate
the fish and game laws. A change is
to be made in the close season for large
game. At present caribou may be hunt
ed from Sept. to Feb. l. and deer and
moose from Oct. / to Jan. l. The gov
