i. S. GETS TUTILA
Stated in London the Samoan
Question Has Been Practi-
cally Settled.
In the Proposed Division the
United States Gets Tutila
"
What Was Last Week Regarded
as Impossible Has Been
Accomplished.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-Although the exact
terms of the agreement are still care
fully guarded, the Associated Press is
able to say that the Samoan question is
practically settled and that the final.
tiles will take place within a few days,
unless some most unexpected hitch &C.
ours. But it can be said that Amer.
lean control of Tutila island is con.
frmed and agreed to, while the United
States has, it is understood, signifed its
approval of the projected arrangements
between Germany and Great Britain.
Regarding the details of the latter, the
British foreign Office remains mute, ex.
cept to authorize the statement that
none of the recent surmises of the Ger
man press have correctly outlined the
plan, which now seems sure Of &C.
ceptance. 1t is also emphatically de.
MED that the United States has been
in any way neglected in the negotia.
tions. 1t is pointed out that the United
States, having secured Tutila island,
obtained all she expected or desired.
But though thoroughly satisfied, she
raj kept conversant with and always
consulted about the negotiations which
proceeded between Germany and Great
Britain. Last week it was believed
that an impasse had been reached, and
that the diplomats were inclined to fear
that no settlement was attainable in
the neal future. The sudden turn in
negotiations and the overcoming Of
the apparently unsurmountable OBJ
stacles created almost as much sur.
prise as qualification. Of course it is
still within the limits of possibility that
another and entirely unexpected con-
tingency may arise during the interim
of the drawing up of the papers and
signing of them. But, there is every
reason to believe that an official state
ment will be given out this week an
nouncing the terms of the settlement
of this long standing international diff
fculty.

II Finally Conquered Beers Promise to
Keep England Busy
New YORK, Nov. IA dispatch to
The Herald from London says:
The following dispatch has come to
hand from Mr.. Bennett Raleigh, the
well-known war correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph. Writing under date
of Ladysnith, Oct. 6, he says:
The primal ground of the Beers is
that the country is theirs by right OF
grant, conquest and occupation and
only with the unbidden consent of the
burghers shall anybody else have a
voice or the right to rule in the land.
As intelligent men, though they de-
clare they may be able to Withstand
such forces as England a send against
them for q season, yet should Britain
put forth her whole strength and no
European powers intervene to aid the
T~ransvaal, they admit they must be
o~verpowered.
"But," said Mr.. SHUTS, the state at
torney, to me, with the approval of MI.

quered the Transvaal it won't be as

BRINGS BIG SUITS.

Northern Pacific Seeks to Clear Its Right
of Way at Spokane.
TACOMA, Wash, Nov. IA Spokane
special says the most important law
suit ever brought, affecting the title to
real estate in Spokane, has been COM
menced by the Northern Pacific COM
pany against $50 leading Spokane clti-
zens. The rights involved affect prop
erty valued at millions of dollars, and
include property not only in Spokane
but throughout this and other states
through which the Northern Pacific
passes.
The contention of the railway is that
it is entitled to 200 feet of land on each
side of its track wherever it was laid
through lands belonging to the govern
ment, as provided in the act of congress
under which the Northern Pacific was
organized.
At present the railroad occupies only
30 feet on each side of it's track, and
many buildings, including business
blocks, warehouses and residences, have
been constructed within the 200-feet
line. In its present action the Northern
Pacific seeks to clear its right of way
Of all improvements, laying no claim
to the same, and to quiet its title to the
200 feet of land on each side of its
tracks, ~contending that the company,
being a quasi public corporation, is not
permitted to sell o. dispose of any Of
its right of way.
The defendants insist that they have
acquired their title by open occupation
for more than 10 years, and that the
railway company is estopped to claim
title by failing to bring its action
within 10 years. i

LONDON, Nov. 8.-The following is the
text of a dispatch from General Butler

p. M:
"The following dispatch has been re-
ceived from the general commanding at
Estcourt, dated Nov. g.:
Since Friday there has been a ces-
sation of hostilities. A note was sent
that day to General Joubert by General
White, at the request of the mayor,
asking permission for the non-combat-
ants, sick and wounded, to go south.
General Joubert refused the re-
quest, and agreed to allow them to go
to a special camp four miles from Lady
smith. The townspeople refused to ac-
cept this offer.
"'There was q smart action Friday
towards Dewdrop. The troops under
General Brocklehurst drove the Beers
back q considerable distance and dis
abled q gun.
"'There was also fighting % Bull
vans Our loss altogether is eight
killed and about twenty wounded.
Ninety-eight Dundee wounded have ar

All are doing well.
"'The position here is now believed
to be entirely safe. It has been greatly
strengthened during the last "a hours.
The people have deserted their dwell

Robbed the Grave.

A startling incident, of which Mr.. John
Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject. is
narrated by him as follows: "I was in a
most dreadful condition. My skin was al
most yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated,
pain continually in back and sides, no APP
petite-gradually growing weaker day by
day. Three physicians had given me up.
Fortunately, a friend advised trying 'Elec-
trio Bitters:' and to my great JOY and sur
prise, the first bottle made a decided i'm
provement. I continued their use for three
weeks. and am now a well man. I know
they saved my life, and robbed the grave Of
another victim" No one should fail to try
them. Only 50 cts. guaranteed, at Fiesler

Big Loss From Rust.

ST. PAUL, Nov. S.-Professor Otto
Luger of the state experimental station
has returned from a trip through the
western part of the state, where he
went to investigate the ravages of black
rust. He says that the Hessian fly and
the black rust are largely responsible
for the fact that the wheat crop has not
come up to expectations, and adds that
rust alone has caused the loss of mil
lions of dollars to the farmers.

The Missionary's Little Joke.
A native Maori chieftain, the de-
scendant Of cannibal kings, is now
completing his medical education in
Chicago. Cannibalism ended in his
tribe, he says, when Bishop Selwyn
converted his grandfather, but he tells
some stories Of it which have a dis
tinctly humorous favor. For instance:
It is said that once a chief captured a
missionary who was anything but a
thin and looked as if his flesh would be
tough. The missionary warned the
chief that he would not make a good
dinner and, pulling up his trousers,
cut a slice off the calf of his leg and
offered it to the chief.
The chief tasted it, said he didn't
like it and passed it to a subchief. The
sub tasted it, made a wry face and
passed it on. The next man who took
a bite Of it spat it out. The missionary
was released. After he had gone it
Wa discovered that he wore a cork leg.

Great Industry Secret Service Officials
Are Trying to Break Up.
NEW YORK, Nov. Frank G.
Thompson, chief of the internal reve-
nue. bureau in this city declared that at
least 10 per cent of the revenue stamps
used daily in the Wall street district
having already been cancelled, were
fraudulent. Chief Thompson said this
when asked about the arrest by him in
Newark on Saturday of Caleb l.. Crock
EFT and G. J. Lee, on a charge of re-
storing cancelled revenue stamps and
selling them for use a second time. MI.
Thompson's jurisdiction extends to
Northern New Jersey and he said that
for two months he has been watching
Crockett. It is estimated by MI.
Thompson that the government is de-
frauded of So, 900 daily in the district
south of Fulton street. He says that
revenue stamps worth about $50, 900
are daily required in the transac-
ton of that district and that 10 per
cent of this total is represented in re-
stored stamps.
Chief Thompson said although the
denominations of revenue stamps varies
from 1.S cent to $1,000, he has never
discovered any greater than $50 being
discounted. He said that stamps of the
denominations of 81, s., s. and $40 were
offered, and that the 81 stamps were
used with greatest frequency by swim
oilers.
For this crime the penalty provided
in the federal statutes is five years in
prison and. a fine of $1,000. Chief
Thompson, as an indication of the ex-
tent to which the swindle was being
carried on, said he had $25, 900 in can
celed stamps in his safe.
