TROUBLES NOT
over IN SAMOA.
Natives Misinterpret Recommends
tionS of the Commissioners.
Believe That They Have the Right to Elect
a Supreme Chief.
Take Exception to Con-
troll of the Islands Being Placed
in the Hands of a Foreigner,
and That Final Appointments
of Different Governors of Prov
inces Lie With Him.

VANCOUVER (B. CO, Sept. S.-Ad-
vices from Samoa are that pending the
final decision of the three Powers the
Samoans are in a state of uncertain
ty. The commission informed the Sa-
means before leaving that the Berlin
treaty is still in existence, so is the
office of Chief Justice. They had no
power to alter or change these and
Chief Justice Chambers left of his
own accord. They had no control over
him. =
The natives claim that if the Berlin
treaty is still in force, then they have
autonomy, and will proceed to elect a
Supreme Chief, avoiding the title of
King It is rumored that the Mataafa
people are proceeding on that presump-
ton now, and meetings are being held
for that purpose. This is in contrayen-
ton of the recommendation of the COM
mission.
These same people take exception to
control being in the hands of a for
eign Governor and that final appoint
ments of different Governors of prov
inces lie with him. They also object
to having foreign Judges adjudicate
upon matters concerning Samoans, al
| though in the provinces. they are to
have their own Judges and Magis-
trates, but they object to the super
vision of foreigners. They dislike for
eign Judges visiting their provinces to
| try cases between foreigners and them
selves, and assert they can do this
F., themselves.
1t is stated that an attempt will be
made to upset the recommendations Of
| the commission.

THE MOTION GRANTED.
Miss Austin Can Examine Diaries
of the Late jefferson WiIcoxson.

Hon. E. E. Gaddis, Superior Judge
of Yolo County, sitting instead of Judge
Johnson, yesterday heard arguments
on the motion made in the case of
Amanda P. Austin against the estate
Of the late Jefferson Wilcoxon, for an
order permitting the plaintiff to ex-
anime the diaries kept by the deceased
in order to ascertain whether or not
entries We're made relating to the al
legged arrangement whereby he intend
ed to remunerate plaintiff for caring
for him in his declining years
Two weeks ago Judge Gaddis heard
evidence and arguments upon a mo-
tion to allow the plaintiff or her attor-
neys to examine copies of letters kept
and written by the deceased, and also
the diaries. An order was made per-
mitting examination of the letters, but
denying the right to examine the
diaries
Since then an amended motion was
made asking for an order to examine
the diaries, the plaintiff deposing, on
information and belief, that they con-
tain matter beneficial to her contention
relative to the alleged contract
Grove l.. Johnson appeared for the
plaintiff, while Arthur NJ Seymour and
Hiram w. Johnson looked after the in
terests of the administrator of the es-
tate.
After hearing the arguments Judge
Gaddis granted the motion, empower
ing the plaintiff to examine the diaries
kept by the deceased, jefferson Will
coxon, and make copies of the entries

Napa Asylum Authorities Want
James TavlOP

A number of years ago a man named
James Taylor was adjudged insane and
committed to the Napa Insane Asylum
Before his incarceration he sent a
number of threatening letters to c.
Mcdonald and relatives, who then
lived at San Rafael, but who subse-
quently came to this city.
A couple of years ago Taylor es-
capped and sent more threatening let
ters, but was recaptured, and since
that time, so far as the public knew
he had been in confinement.
Such however, proved to have been
not the case, and yesterday Miss Nc
Donald saw Taylor ON the street and
had him pointed out to officer Naghel
Last evening the police authorities
communicated by telephone with the
Napa Asylum people, and learned that
Taylor made his second escape from
the institution on the 9th of June,
1898, and has ever since been at lib
erty. The asylum authorities requested
that Taylor be arrested and held, and it
is among the probabilities that he will
be rounded up to-day.

FOUL PLAY.
Little Doubt That Frank Lands
Was Murdered.

LINCOLN (Cal0, Sept. S.-There is
now no doubt that Frank Lands, the
young Lincoln merchant who was
found dead in the back room of his
store on August 9th, met with foul
play. The case has been under inves-
tigation by Pinkerton detectives, hired
by the citizens, and their findings point
Enthusiastically to murder.
Lands was killed by a 3S-caliber bull
let, and the fact that his own pistol was
3S-caliber and was found within six
feet of his body lent color to the sui
eide theory. A 3S-caliber bullet was
found in the stairway above the body,
and it was the opinion of the county
officers that Lands fired it from his
pistol to avert suspicion of suicide, re-
loaded his weapon and discharged a
second bullet into his heart.
1t has now been discovered that the
bullet found in the stairway could not
have been fired by Landis' revolver. 1t
belonged to a cheaper weapon, such as
evidently used by second party A
lamp, which is usually lighted in the
store at night, was seen burning at
$50 on the evening of the murder, but
at 10:37 several people noticed that it
was extinguished. This was before
Lands entered the store. Two parties

Results of the Matches in the Del
Monte Tournament,

DEL MONTE, Sept. S.-The Pacific
Coast championship tournament, gen
tlemens doubles, open to all comers,
that was begun on these courts yester
day morning, was finished to-day, with
the exception of the match between the
winners of the tournament and the
Hardy brothers, present holders of the
coast championship.
NJ. D. Whitman, national singles
champion, and Beals Wright, inter-
scholastic singles champion, won the
tournament, defeating the Whitney
brothers in the finals this afternoon in
a good contest. On the whole the CAL
ifornia team made a very good show
ing in the match, running the games
pretty close, although Whitman and
Wright took three straight sets, the
score being 6-1, Ga, 6-3.
The Southern California team, Bra
ly and Bell, gave the Northern Califor-
MIA players quite a surprise to-day in
the way they played, and everyone is
wondering what the outcome would
have been had they met the Whitneys
The Southerners walked away with
their match with Warburton and
Fatjo, and put up a stiff game with
Whitman and Wright, winning the
first set.
A consolation tournament for the
teams defeated in the contests up to
the finals of the championship tourna-
ment was begun this afternoon. The
players We're handicapped according to
the sixth system now generally in use
in England and America. Results of
