NATIVE JUDGES FOR SAMOA.
Official Reports Indicate Very Sat
isfactory State of Affairs.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-Late OFF,
cial advices from Samoa contain ac-
counts of recent meetings of the pro-
visional government at Apia, at which
steps were taken to have native judges
try cases between natives and native
officials, TO solemnize marriages and
keep tax records of property owned by
the Samoans. Two judges, Tagoa and
Toomata, were chosen, one being an
adherent of the former King Malietoa
and the other a Mataafan.
The provisional authorities have set
tied the claim of the heirs of the late
King Malietoa Lieupepa and rejected
the claim of the secretary OF the late
Samoan Government. Captain Preedy
of the British ship Torch was given
several warrants against natives fol
capital crimes, which will be turned
over to Chief Lauati for execution
The proceedings indicate an entirel!
pacific condition of affairs on th'
| islands.

Within an hour after the fire started it

FRENCH TAKE ALARM.
Warned by a Friend TO Keep an Eye

PARIS, Nov. 30.-The Figaro this morn
ing prints a letter from Frenchman re-
siding in London and occupying an i'm
portant office. The letter asks whether
the association of the. directors of the
journals of France ought not to make a
combined attempt to suppress all attacks
on the queen and to diminish the viru-
lence directed against English army Of
f1cers. He says:
l wish to call your attention 70 great
evil and danger in the campaign which
certain French Journalists are conducting.
Their attacks on the queen have un-
chained storm of anger here, of w
you have no idea in Paris, because the
English papers are read there but little.
This is the reason that you are ignorant
that petty Incidents are magnified by
some of the English correspondents in
Paris. Although far from receiving the
appreciation of the immense majority of
the French people, the sovereign before
whom all England bows in respect and
admiration, has been unworthily carica-
tured

the boycott of the exposition this time

followed by the entire people.

Fire broke out in the f1ve-story brick
building of the Griggs, Cooper & Co
wholesale grocery store shortly before 10
clock last evening, and within com
paratively short time totally destroyed
the eastern section, together with its con-
tents causing an estimated loss of $240,-
coo. The loss is fully covered by insur-
ance. The fire was one of the aercest
the department has had to combat for
some time, and only a substantial fire
wall prevented the destruction of the en-
tire building. Starting about the center Of
the second floor in the eastern wing, the
fire obtained great Roadway before the
department got to work, and inside of
two hours the five floors were Quilted
The fire started in the cracker manu-
featuring department, where the employees
were at work yesterday. Banked fires
were left under the ovens, and it Is be-
lieved sparks from this source caused the
fire. That the fire must have been burn
ing some tins before its discovery is
shown by the fact that the first knowl-
edge of the fire was gained by Patro!man
William Smith who was startled at see
ing flames shoot from the rear windows
He Immediately turned in an alarm and
ran to the building to meet Special
Waterman Mccormick coming out Nc
Cormick remarked that he had just fin
ished his rounds and was apparently UNI
aware that the building IN his charge was
afre.
AS soon as Chief Cook reached the
scene in response to the first alarm he
realized the dangerous nature of the
fire and turned in a Ali alarm, calling
out additional apparatus Meantime the
flames had spread to the third floor, MAX
ing rapid progress toward both the front
and the rear of the imperiled part Of the
building, and ell, or general alarm,
was turned IN, calling out all of the ap-
paratUs in the city. The firemen could
only attack the fire from two points, from
the front and in the rear, as there were
no windows in the east wall, and from
these positions, with the seat OF fire about
the center of the building, the numer-
Gus streams of water thrown into the
seething furnace had apparently little
