GOVERNMENT OF SAMOA.
A Native Council with White Gov
ernor Having Veto Powerful
Quiet in Apia.

San Francisco. Cal, Aug 5.-The
Unired States steamship Badger, bear
ing two of the three Samoan commission
ers, arrived at Honolulu Wednesday at
ternoon, July 26, eight days from Apia,
On board were Bartlett Trip, the Unit
ed States commissioner, and Baron Won
Sternberg, representative of Germany.
Z. \. b. Eliot. commissioner for Great
Britain, sailed by way of New Zealand
and Australia for London to report di-
rectly to his government. The members
of the commission have given out that
Samoa will in future be ruled by white
governor, appointed by the three powers.
much as the chief justice is at present.
There will be 4 native council, but the
governor will have the veto power and
the chief justice will be the final au-
thorlty in the land, from whom there will
be no appeal
This arrangement met the approval of
the Samoans. The day before the COM
mission sailed, delegations of thirteen
men from each faction met on the Badg-
er, and signed the articles, thus officially
approving the arrangement in the name
of their respective chiefs-Mataafa and
Malietoa.
When the commission sailed all was
quiet and seemed likely to remain so.
Residents of Samoa have filed with the
commissioners claims aggregating S440,-
UUO for property destroyed during the re-
cent temporary occupation of Mulinu by
American and British sailors

NO DEMAND MADE.
Highly Improbable that Austrian
Government Asked for an
EXPLANATION.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 5.-Regard-
ing the published statement accredited to
T French paper to the effect that the
Austrian government made a demand
upon Admiral Dewey to confirm or deny
his alleged statements to the effect that
our next war would be with Germany,
the state department officials point out
that it would be glaring breach of
diplomatic proprieties to communicate on
q diplomatic subject with a United
States naval officer directly and outside of
the lawful channels. 1t would. moreover,
be a matter of complaint should Austria
have addressed Admiral Dewey on IA
matter relating entirely to Germany and
the United States.
New York, Aug. 5.-The following let
ter from Admiral Dewey dated at
Trieste, Austria, July "a, was received
by Mayor Van Wyck this morning:
| have the honor to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your letter of June 30. rendering me
on behalf of the city of New York public
reception upon my arrival and extending to
me the hOsDitalities and cOurtesies Of the
city.
In accepting this invitation desire to ex-
citizens Of New York and their representa-
tives for so signally honoring me.
1t is impossible at this time to fix the
York, but l shall endeavor to inform you
definitely by cable from Gibraltar.
l am, sir, very truly yours.

CONDUCTORS GO ARMED.
Fire at Rioters Who Throw Stones
Fresh Outbreak of LaWless-
ness in Cleveland.

Cleveland, O., Aug. Am addition to
the attempt to blow up a Jennings ave-
nue. car on the south side last night, re-
ports received at police headquarters
show that cars were stoned in various
parts OF the city. although so far as
learned, no one was injured.
On Pearl street near Myers avenue a
shower of heavy stone fell upon Brook
Ign car No. 3S, smashing the windows
and otherwise damaging the car. The
conductor promptly drew his revolver and
fired five shots in the direction from
whence the stones were thrown. Three
shots were fired through the windows of
a Pearl and Scoville avenue car, near the
Nickel Plate station, on the west side,
and a little later two rocks were sent
crashing through the windows OF the
same car. No arrests were made.
The troops have been gradually with
drawn from the city during the past few
days until now not to exceed 0OO soldiers
remain. Fear is expressed in many quar-
element will again resume the outrages
that marked the early stages of the
strike.
Charles c. Trieste. a barber, was the
first man to be placed under arrest for
taking part in the boycott The warrant
was sworn out by Patrolman 1saacs, who
alleges that the barber refused to shave
him because he had ridden on Big Con-
solidated cars. The case was continued
to August Z. Trieste is out ON ball.

IOWA MULCT LAW
IS KNOCKED OUT.
Determinations Between Home
and Foreign Corporations
Pronounced Illegal.

Keokuk, Ia, Aug. 5.-Judge Bank Of
the district court rendered a decision
which. if sustained, will have a farreach-
ing effect. Iowa has a statute called the
''mulct law" by which taxes are imposed
by local authorities upon matt liquors.
A brewing company of Peoria, H..
brought suit to resist collection Of the tax
levied against their warehouse in which
liquor ia original packages was stored.
The county claimed authority to tax
under section 2456 Of the code, which de-
clares that all manufacturers of malt
liquors in any city of 5000 inhabitants in
the state shall be exempt from payment
of the mulct tax. The brewing company
claimed this is discriminating against
foreign corporations and contrary to the
federal and state constitutions. 1t was
also contrary to the federal constitution
giving to Congress authority to regulate
interstate commerce and guaranteeing to
citizens of each state all privileges of citi-
Zens of the several states. 1t was also
claimed to be contrary to the constitution
of Iowa. declaring all general laws shall
have uniform operation.
the decision foreign corporations are not
required TO pay the tax. Judge Bank
rendered the original package decision
that was afterward sustained by the
United States Supreme court. The pres
ent decision is the first of the kind in the
state.

Piute Astronomy,

The Piute Indian myth of the sun,
moon and stars is as crudely anthropo-
morphic as can be found in any savage
belief. The moon is the suns wife. The
stars are his children. When he appears
the children skedaddle-as they say in
the states. They live in terror of him.
He eats them-when he can catch them.
His stomach-the only part of him one
can see-is stuffed with stars. When he
goes to bed, the children emerge again
from their hiding places in the blue The
moon is fond Of her children, who smile
as she moves among them. Every month
she goes into mourning because her CAM
nibal husband has eaten one of them.
The Piute Indians account for the ap-
pearance of comet by stating that the
sun often snaps at one of the stars, his
children. and does not get hold of it-he
only tears a piece out-and the star, get
ting wild with pain, goes flying across the
sky with a great spout of blood flowing
from it. 1t is then very much afraid,
and as it flies it always keeps its head
turned to watch the sun, its father, and
never turns its face away from him I'M
til it is far out of his reach.-London

INVENTED STEAM SHOVEL.
Henry SpendeIow Died in Buffalo
Obscure and Unuoticed

Buffalo, y. Y, Aug. 5.-[Special. i
There died in this city the other day
Henry Spendelow, old, obscure and un-
noticed. This man revolutionized the
handling of grain by the invention of the
elevator steam shovel. He was associat-
ed with others in the invention but had
always claimed that the device was en-
tlrely his own. and those who knew him
best are entirely convinced of the validity
of his claim. As an old man his genius
for invention chung to him to a degree
that fairly astonished his acquaintance
1t is a matter of doubt if there was an
other man IN the city who could make as
many different things, all of them inter
esting and more or less novel, with a
jack-knife.
Spendelow died without much of this
worlds goods. He made next to nothing
out of the steam shovel, for it was at first
received with Indifference by the elevator
and grain men, and labor fought it just
as it did the invention of the sawmill
even going so far once as to destroy some
of the apparatus. There was not a scooper
in the harbor but was positive that the
steam shovel would drive hand shOveling
out of the hold of a vessel.
John Kelderhouse tells that the price
for hand shoveling grain before steam
shovel days was s. per 1000 bushels and
adds, by way of calling attention. to the
way laborsaving inventions 'injure'
hand labor, that the price of shoveling
now is 1913, with many bushels to han
die to one in the old days. Still the
Spendelow patent was allowed to Ian
guish. and even in the early SOS, when
an effort was made to obtain a renewal
of the patent, the grain and elevator in-
terests were yet SO Indifferent to the
shovel that they managed to prevent a re-
issue on the plea that it was net really
needed Foxy work must have been done
in this connection, for soon after it had
been found impossible to renew the pat
ent someone made lots of money out of
the shovel. Now that it has become the
individual property of each elevator it is
a strong standby. The shovel enabled
the contra ctor to stand off the great
scoopers' strike this spring, as it really
does about all the work and needs but
few men to keep it in action.

A STEAMER IS BURNED.
Spanish Ship that Sailed Under
the American Flag Destroyed.
ACT OF INSURGENTS.
The Crew of thu Vessel, the Sat
uruus, is Reported 80 Be
Missing.

Manila, Aug. $3.50 p. m-The
steamer Saturnus of the Compania Mari
TINA, coasting under the American flag,
missing. The details of the affair are
not known. The captain of the SatuPnus
once obtained possession of q ship be-
longing TO the Martina Compania, held
at San Fernando by the insurgents, by
mooring the Saturnus alongside and
hauling the other vessel away in the
night.
Philippine Criminals.
New York, Aug. "a special to the
Times from Washington says: Chief
Willlie of the secret service says that
there are great number of criminals in
the Philippines islands. They are so nu-
merouS and successful that it will soon
be necessary to make arrangements for
secret service in the Philippines. The
counterfeiters do not make limitations of
American money, but reproduce Spanish
and Chinese coins. In the present condi-
ton of affairs in the Philippines the coun-
terfeiting of these coins does as much
harm as the making of bogus American
money and perhaps more. Gen. Otis is
doing what he can to break the practice,
but he has hard fight on his hands, as
he has no trained detectives. Chief Will
kie says also thG there is much counter
feiting going on in Cuba, Porto Rico and
Hawaii, although not as much as in the
Philippines, and that the secret service
will have to be extended to those islands.
AguinaIdo's Advisers.
A dispatch to the World from Hong
Kong says: Aguinaldo has an advisory
council right in Manila. Hong Kong
having been made too hot for the Fill
pino iunta through the efforts of United
MI 4 a
rebels decided to attempt to establish
their headquarters in Manila. They were
encouraged to try their daring expert
ment by the fact that under a recent de-
cree Of Gov-Gen Otis the Philippine
courts are row conducted by natives. So
Crisinanto Lichanco, the treasurer of the
junta. went boldly to Manila and pro-
fessed friendship for Gen. Otis. The
scheme worked so we'll that the delighted
junta has celebrated its victory with a
grand ball.
Madrid. Aug. 5.-In an interview today
regarding the Spanish prisoners held by
the Filipinos. Prime Minister Silvela de-
clared that Aguinaldo refuses to carry
on any negotiations respecting them I'M
less Spain recognizes the independence of
the Philippines.
Havana. Aug 5.-Senor Betancourt,
civil governor of MatanZas, conferred
with Sc rotary Hay on the proposition
that government aid be extended to the
municipalities of the province. in order
that they in turn may aid the farmers
and other country people who now lack
animals and implements to make their
holdings productive. 1t is reported that
the town of San Jose de Las Lajas, prov
ince of Havana, has been attacked by
bandits, who were repulsed and dispersed
after fight with the rural guard.
Washington, d. c.. Aug. 5.-The en-
listments for the Philippine service yes
terday were 322, making a total of 9S25.
