On the sth Of October Judge
Chambers declared that Mataaia
was eligible. AT the election in
December the latter received five
out OF every six votes against the
fifteen year old boy Malietoa-a
youth completely in The hands of
the English missionaries. In Jam
uary Chambers declared against
Mataaia. an5 this is the cause Of
all the trouble. In a letter to his
brother Chambers stated that as
there were ten Englishmen to one
American, the English should have
Samoa. Other Americans did the
sau,e.
Four.h hiths Of the real estate and
farms in the Island belonging to
Germans, who settled the Island
originally, the German Govern

the English. It would De a cow

whole affair is one Of those English
Vaccinations so we'll known all
over the world.
While the trouble was being in.
vestigated by the different govern
ments, Mataaia, as the provisional
government, remaining in power,
everything was quiet. Then
Admiral Kautz came to Samoa.
Without awaiting the decision Of
the three governments he took
hold OF the matter himself He
notified Mataafa to give up to
Malietoa and declared the pro-
visional government abolished.
The German Consul protestej, and
Mataafa and his followers being
unwilling 10 obey, both he Eng

The Samoan Trouble an English

1t appears from the dispatches
that an English war ship previous
to the present trouble, brought the
banished followers OF Malitoa back
to Apia. The Mataafa people
beinp in charge OF the provisional
government objected thereto,
Malietoa, himself, being on board
Of one OF the English vessels for
protection. The English and
American officers, with Kautz al
the head, then asked Mataaia tc
give up the provisional govern
ment, which up to that time he hac
peac fully held, and landed at the
same time American and English
troops to protect about zoo Malie-
toa followers on shore. Mataafa

Vancouver, B. c., October 1S.-Pro-
fessor D. G. Worster and Colonel
DENLY, Philippine commissioners, ar
rived here today on the steamer EN-
press of Japan and left this afternoon
for Washington, where they will make
their report to the president. Until the
report is made public neither gentle
man will make statement of any kind
for publication.
Among the passengers on the EN-
press of Japan was Editor Lettmour,
proprietor of The Manila American.
His mission to America is to urge the
removal of General Otis from the COM
mand of the United States forces in
the Philippines and the promotion of
General LaWton to the command. Lett
mour says that General LaWton is fire.
quently denied the fruits of victory by
the hesitation of General Otis.

Claim Boer Victories.

Lourenzo Marques, October 49, The
Volkssten, the Boer official organ at
Pretoria, gives the following account
of the occupation of the British camp
at Ramathlabama, just north of Mafe-
king:
"lhe British camp at Ramathlabama
has heen captured and sacked by
General Cronje after severe fighting.
Many burghers were killed or wound
ed. The British loss is not known" ]"
The Volkssten added that success
has thus far everywhere attended. the
burghers," although it admits that in
the various skirmishes near Maleking
and at other points the Boer casualties
number some sixty or seventy killed
and wounded.
A representative of the Transvaal
Government has arrived here and is
buying up all the provisions obtain
able.
One hundred and thirty persons just
released from the Barberton jail, Trans
vaal, have been put over over the
Portuguese border.
London, October rS.-A supplement-
ary army estimate has been issued,
asking the House of Commones to vote
an additional $4,000 men and 10000,
600 pounds sterling in consequence of
the situation IN South Africa.
1t is expected that the $4,000 men
represent the probable maximum ex-
cess beyond tine establishments fixed
for the year 1S9S-I9oo, and is in conse-
quence ofthe calling out of the reserves
and of the temporary transfer oftroops
from the Indian to the British establish
ment. With the additional 10000, 900
pounds the total estimates are 3o,6'7,-
900 pounds.

A Bloody Tragedy.

Redwood Falls, MINT, October 49,
Frank E. Babcock, farmer residing
near this city, murdered his wife and
three sons on his farm today. The
murder was committed in a fit of in
sanity. Babcock loaded his gun and
went to where his two little boys were
playing near the house and shot OF
them, blowing their brains out. His
wife saw the deed and ran to the barn
for safety.
Babcock went into the house and
wrote note to his brother-in.law,
Frank Mason, saying he went out to
kill a rooster and shot his son Theo-
dore and could not face the crime.
Then he searched for and found his
wife in the barn and shot her through
the head.
From the barn he walked mile
south to where his oldest son was at
work and close range he fired a shot
that blew out the brains of this son i.
Then reloading, he placed the muzzle
to his mouth and fired off one barrel, !,
killing himself instantly. He fell over
on the gun which still had one barrel
cooked and ready for action.

The weather is warmer, and the
people that have tobacco are getting
it ready for market. Cotton is about
all out now, with only from one-third
to two-thirds of a crop. There IS a
tolerably fair corn crop in this sec
tion.
From early dawn until close of day
we hear the humming of the mills,
and see the many customers going
and coming with their wheat, corn,
flour and meal. The new stalls will
soon be completed which is to ,be
used in taking care of the teams of
far off customers that have to stay

leave them, and when that time ar

Some Exciting Scenes.

Raleigh, N. G., October 17.-Today' S
session of the penitentiarv board was
quite lively. A. B. Young presided.
There was a very full attendance. A
committee of five, with Gotten as
chairman was raised to conder the
dismissal and appointment of employees
inspect cells and quarters, consider
how convict camps shall be closed
and promptly disposed of on those
farms which are to be abandoned, and
also to report on the Lewis Summerell
matter, This committee reports to-
morrow morning.
Superintendent Day appeared before
the board and said it could get togeth-
er and put in whomever it liked for
officers; that he had only one he want
ed to appoint, James R. McCullon, Of
Halifax; that he would remove any
one the board thought ought to be re-
moved and appoint its nominee, but
with the understanding that the latter
would be removed by Day and the
board if thought advisable. Day said :
81 will only appoint on your say SO.
When the terms expire there will be
many vacancies. You are as much re-
sponsible in regard to the penitentiary
as | am."
John r. Weddlpgton, of the board,
quite warmly declared he would no
longer be party to the farce which
was being played before the public !:
that the board was trying to act with
out getting Information as to finances
and other matters specially called for
by the resolution adopted at its last
meeting thar there was superintend-'
ent, a warden, booK-keeper and
purchasing agent, and yet not par
ticle of real information could be gath
cred.
Day began to talk about penitentiary
farms, but was told plainly that the
board wanted information about fin
ances. Dav said he had made reports
monthly to Chairman Travis, of the
executive board.
Travis said he had never received
any such report.
LeGrand moved to adjourn until Day
furnished the reports, saying he intend
ed to 60 no further in the dark.
Day promptly agreed that it was best
to wait. and declared he would give
the report tomorrow morning
Gotten then poured hot shot into the
Of the farms on the Roam
oke, saying the convicts were not prop
erly fed and clothed, and that 1t was
exceedingly difficult to get requisi-
ton for supplies made on the central
prison board. He said that at the Til
lery farm forty convicts had worked
five days building a road entirely
around the farm, and greatly increas-
ing its value, and yet while they were
building it fodder on the state farm
near by was being ruined.
Application was made to the board
for the county convicts to work in
Cumnock coal mines, but was refused
the board declaring no convicts should
work in mines.
1t was decided to pay the fusionist
supervisors $21 month for four months
balance of salary, which the fusionists
promised them, but never paid. 1t was
decided to be the best to hold the cot
.on, crop and not sell now.

Has been Purchased and
work VIII he Bcsun rs soon
ms II Arrives.

III line with the extensive improvements
being made In various directions by the
Houston and Texas Central, that road has
decided to erect two new depots along the
main line between here and Ennis. One
of these is to be at Bryan and the other
at Mexia. The new buildings, which will
be exactly alike in every detail have been
in contemplation for como time past and
various speculative statements have been
made regarding them. The first official
news came yesterday. however. when 1t
was announced that all the material for
the two depots had been purchased and
that work on them would be commenced
as soon as possible, probably within the
week, or when the material In question
arrives and weather conditions become
favorable. Large forces of laborers VIII
be used and the construction of the build
ings viii be pushed as rapidly as possible
The depots are each to be 100 feet in
length by "a feet In width, and Will be
lifted out complete with waiting rooms for
White and colQred passengers, toilet rooms,
ticket agents offices and baggage and ex
press rooms. The plans. which have been
prepared in the maintenance OF way ale
partment of the road during the past few
weeks, show that considerable attention
will be paid to detail and that the new
structures will be complete and up to- date
in every respect. The buildings In use at
present at both Bryan and Mexia are by
no means in good shape and the new ones
will be in the nature of decided improve
ments.
