Offered to Germany.

New York, Nov. PA special to the
Herald from Washington says: 1t is
stated authoritatively that there is no
truth in the report from Berlin that Sec
rotary Hay proposed to surrender AM
erican rights in the Samoan group in ex-
change for the Caroline islands. The
matter has never been suggested in the
negotiations in progress between the
United States, Great Britain and Ger
many respecting the partition of Samoa.
1t is no secret that the American peace
commission at Paris made a determined
effort to secure control of tie Ca~rolines
by the acquisition of ITALIAN island, par
ticularly desired fer a coal station, but
since then the Carolines have not been
discussed by this government, either with
Spain or Germany.
AS evidence that this government has
never contemplated withdra wing from
the Tutilia, an official called attention to
the continuance of work on the coal sta
ton being established at the harbor Of
that island. The great value of the har-
Dor of Page Pago in he future when the
Nicaragua canal is built is generally adj
mitted. The Caroline islands, situate
in a line between the Philippines and Ha-
wall, are also naturally a very desirable
possession. But since the American
commissioners failed to obtain Ualane,

Lord Methuen Needs More
Cavalry at Once.
STUBBORN FIGHT
They Are Contesting Every Inch of
Ground With the Relieving Column
Transports Daily Landing Large
Numbers of British Troops.

London, Nov. 81, 5 a. m.-No further
news respecting Lord Methuen's advance
has been received and the absence of Off
cial details regarding his losses creates
the greatest suspense and especially since
the publication of the heavy sacrifices
endured by the naval brigade. No alarm,
however, is felt as to his position, despite
the evidence that the Beers intend to con-
test every foot of the way. 1t was known
1hat in the absence of sufficient cavalry
he would be compelled to advanc slowly
and he has preference for night or early
dawn attacks, which events seem to have
justified the Beers being decidedly adj
verse to darkness. The fact that in the
Gras Pan action one British battery fired
of the fight and there is little doubt
that the casualties We're heavy. 1t is
now known that no guns Were captured
in the Belmont engagement.
Meanwhile the news from Natal is dis
tinctly more hopeful from the British
point Of view The details are rather vague
but it seems certain that the Beers are
retiring, that railway communication is
being reopened and that the British re-
lief forces are joining hands. This, taken

Majority Against Roberts.

New York, Nov. q. - special e;
the Herald from Washington says:
Though comparatively few Of the repre-
Washington. the expressions of those who
are here make it very apparent that there
will be a large majority of the members
of the house opposed to allowing Brigham
H. Roberts of Utah to sit with them. In
tervieWs with those who have arrived
lead irresistibly to the conclusion that
either Mr.. Roberts will not be allowed to
take his seat at all or that he will be ex-
PEELED from it after the house has had the
report of a committee. Mr.. Roberts will
not be without some supporters on the
floor. The technical defense which ne
sets up meets the approval of some of the
members, and he will not be without
champions able and ready to make a
strong fight for AIM.
The proceedings over this case bid fair
to overshadow in interest the proposed
financial legislation, the questions leading
to the newly acquired territory of the
United States. and every other matter
that will come before the house at the be-
ginning of the session. Just what the
character of these proceedings will be no
one at present knows. Whether or not
Mr.. Roberts will be prevented from TAX
ing his seat at all when the other men,
bers of the house are sworn in will de-
pend very largely upon the action of Mr..
Henderson as speaker. Mr.. Henderson
mas not yet intimated what course he will
pursue. The house has from time to time
refused to allow men to be sworn in when
there We're conflicting credentials, but
there has never been a case in which
there was IA refusal to administer the
oath to a man who presented a certificate
CT election in due form and absolutely
uncontested by a rival applicant for the
seat.

FAMINE IN INDIA
Millions Of People Must
Suffer This Season.
WHEAT CROP IS SHORT
Work Of Sending Relief Should be
Started Immediately-The Report
of Viceroy Curzon is Sent to the
British Government.

New York, Nov. 27.-Rev. J. F. Abbott
of the American board of foreign mis-
sions. for IS years stationed at Bonn
bay, and who is now in New York, makes
the following summary of Viceroy Cur
IONS report to the executive council OF
India on the famine:
The indications are favorable at Ben
gal. In Burmah there has been a
bumper rice crop. These regions will
be able to export grain to the needy
western coast. Mediocre conditions are
anticipated in the south Matharia and
south Deccan districts of the Bombay
province, the greater portion of central
India. In this belt of country the crops
have been marked failures. but it is
hoped that distress will not be excessive.
The seriously affected districts comprise
3oO,O CC square miles, and are by
SC, 1000, 900 people. 1t includes about fiva-
sixths of the central provinces, nearly
the whole of the Berars, north Deccan
and Guzurat, in the Bombay province
and south and central Punjab, together
with the territories of large and import
ant native states in central and western
India. The large group of native states
north of Bombay, the Baroda state, the
greater part of the IndOre state, virtually
the whole Of Rajputana, M some minor
states in central India are very seriously
affected.
The area is larger than that Of the
famine Of 1861, but the population af-
fected is less. It is expected that the
cost of the famine to the government up
to March, 1900, will be 15,O 900, 600 rupees
(about $4,000, 0OO) aside from advances
to agriculturists and the loss Of revenue
in the affected area. Notwithstanding
what the government may be expected
to do, there will be some large classes
of the native population that may be
saved from perishing by the timely ex-
ercise Of private philanthropy.
Commenting upon the situation as de-
scribed by Lord Curzon, Mr.. Abbott
says:
THE recovery Of the people from the
famine of 1897 has been slow. A month
400, 900 persons We're employed on re-
lief works and the number now reaches
in northern Guzurat We're reported a
month ago. If such was the condition
thus early even in part in the famine
area, it argues sadly for the days to
come, when distress will become more
general. The question will naturally
arise as to the best avenue for sending
relief. Until other relief committees are
started the missionary bodies afford or
CARNATIONS ready made for distributing
the bounty of this country. The Ameri-
can Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopal,
Canadian Presbyterian, Alliance Mission
and Disciple church board all have mis-
sions in the famine area. The time to
help is in the very beginning of the fam

Rapid T%elegraphy.

Now York, Nov. o6.--Expe11nimental
tests Of the Pollacck -Virag rapid tele-
graphy system We're made on Sunday
over 1,039 miles Of wire, between this city
and Chicago. Signals, consisting Of the
letters of the alphabet from A to G were
sent at the rate of &C, 900 an hour, but,
owing to the great amount Of induction
to be overcome and Interference and in
~terfuptions with the wire, no actual mes
saGas were transmitted. 1t is assert
cd that the system which has been sue
cessfully operated up to 700 miles will
work ait LOGO miles or more when a good
wire is obtained and a sufficient battery
power provided.
In the experiments here two ordinary
telegraph wires were used to form a COM
plete metallic circuit, and the ground
connections commonly employed in tele-
graphing were dispensed with. Josef
Virag, one of the inventors, was at this
end Of the wire, while Herr -Pollak was
in Chicago. When the wires We're final
ly found to be clear the signals were sent.
They had previously been punched in a
roll of tape by a perforator similar to
that used in the Wheatstone system. The
tape was passed through a t~ransmitter
containing a metal cylinder revolving at
a high rate of speed. Bearing down up
on the tape were two needles. At each
perforation a needle completed the cir
cult and made a dot or dash at the other

signals through to Chicago, it was found
that a current of Is volts was necessary.
After the signals had been sent through
the apparatus to Chicago, an operator
using the ordinary key, t~elegraphed back
tl;at they had been received all right. At
this jumcture the time for changing from
day to night wires arrived and the cir
cult was interrupted at Buffalo. The
experiments were then postponed to an
other day.

Stockholders Kicking.

New York, Nov. 27.-The Tribune says
certain members among the minority
stockholders in the Pande Basin Gold
Placer Mining company, which has offices
in this city and owns a gold mining prop
erty in Alaska, are complaining that the
board of directors n especially Maurice
l.. Muhleman, cashier of the treas
ury, who is a member of that board, are
keeping them in the dark as to the man
ner in which their property is being man.
aged and they say that unless the direc-
tors abandon this policy of secrecy the
minority will ask the ourts to compel
the board to disclose to them everything
it has done and is doing with the prop
erty.
Mr.. Muhleman is the trustee Of a pool
which contains the majority Of the stock.
He was seen last night by a Tribune
reporter and denied that any more secre-
cy was maintained about the company's
affairs thai was prudent. The next an
nual meeting of the stockholders, he said.
would be held in January, and he felt
pretty certain that by hat time the COM
pany's expert engineer would have
reached here from Alaska and would be
able to tell the stockholders just what
kind of property they own. This expert
is Henry l.. Wiley, ex-surveyor general
of the state of California. When the
Pande Basin Gold Placer Mining COM
pany was formed about two years ago.
Mr.. Wiley had reported the property to
be a valuable one. Since that time
rumors have been circulated that other
experts who have examined the property
say it is worth comparatively little. In
these circumstances Mr.. Muhleman say
he has sent for Mr.. Wiley to come east
at once before any more money is spent
in developing. Mr.. Muhleman declares
that about 5000 has been obtained by
the sale of stock and that about SIS, 200
has been expended in building a road
from Sitka to the mine and in lowering
the level of a lake by mean of a tunnel.
which lake prevented the placer being
worked profitably. Mr.. Muhleman said
that Colonel III. M. Robert is president Of
the company now and reiterated his
statement that NJ more secrecy was be-
ing maintained over the property than
was prudent in these circumstances.
