THREE CENT CAR FARES.
Pingree Gives the People of Detroit An
Object Lesson.

Detroit. Mich. July 14.-Thrce cent
fares are announced today on the fronts
of Detroit street ears in the places
where amusement advertising signs are
usually carried. This sudden voluntary
reduction is the result of decision OF
Governor Pingree and Tom l.. johnson
to give the people an object lesson upon
what they look forward to if the pres
ent plans of the sale of all the De
troit railways to the detroit Municipal
Railway Company" in behalf of the city
win out. The three cent tickets sold
today at five for II cents are so worded
that their use for full payment of their
fares can be withdrawn at any time.
The city is in Il Juror over the polltlcai
situation. All the newspapers and near
ly all the more prominent citizens are
opposing the Pingrec plan, and 1t is now
claimed that the majority of citizens
oppose it on the ground that three cent
fares and quasi-municipal ownership VIII
fail to pay the expenses and the Sli,-
100000 proposed to be paid for the
roads: and that they will, if purchased,
revert to the present owners. Governor
pingrce claims that the roads Will GER
tainly pay off their purchase price nndcr
three-cent fares. Governor Ihngree Is
having circulars distributed from the
streets giving his side of the con
trOverSy.

Auckland, N. H., Feb.2.-The follow
ing advices have just been received
from Apia, Samoa, under date of Jan
uary, "a, from the correspondent of
the Associated Press: There has
been no further general fighting be-
tween the partisans of the rival chief
tains since the last advices were for
warded, except that party OIL
Mataafas followers was routed in the
bush by Malietoans. 1t is said that
fighting will be resumed, as Mataafa is
re-arresting persons who have been al
ready fined and released. The work of
pillage continues, among the houses
looted being Vailima, the home of the
late Robert Louis Stevenson, the nov
elist. The exiled Malietian chiefs
landed at Pago Page, on the island Of
rutuila. The rutuillans gave them a
hearty welcome and made an
attempt to seize Mataafa's son who was
on board, but the captain put off to
sea. There has been collision of au-
thority between Chief Justice Cham
bere of the supreme court and Dr.
Joannes Raffel, German president Of
the municipality of Apia. Herr Gros-
muhl, a German resident of Apia, who
was arrested for smashing the win
dows of the supreme court, was sent
enced by the chief justice to imprison-
ment and to pay a fine. Raffel in
structed the police authorities to flS
Grosmuhls fine at $1,000. Ger
man Consul Herr Rose thereupon
wrote the American and British con.
suls protesting that the action of the
chief justice in filming Grosmuhl was an
infringement of German consular
rights. The chief justice said the trl.
bunal having dealt with the matter, il
could not interfere. More than this
the court declined to have further in.

NOTHING LESS THAN LUZON.
McKinley's Instructions to Peac,
Commissioners.

Washington, Feb. lit appears that
an erroneous impression has gone out
respecting the nature of the presi-
dents instructions to the American
peace commissioners in Paris touching
the limitations of the claims to be put
forward, as far as the Philippines were
concerned, to the island of Luzon. As
matter of fact, so far as making
that island the maximum claim
OF the Americans the
presidents instructions actually
placed that island as the minimum
claim to be set out The language was
nothing less than the island of Luz
zon," instead of more than the island
of Luzon." 1t can be stated also that
the correspondence submitted to the
senate included all the instructions Il
the American commissioners. The
only omissions from the mass, it is
stated, are letters touching on matters
in no way related to the Spanish ne
gotiations.

Mcguire ran for governor last year and
one of his closest friends in the dis
