THE SITUATION
STILL DISTURBED
More Fighting Expected to 0c-
cur in the Samoas.
THE PILLAGE CONTINUES
History of Collision of Authority Be-
tween Chief Justice Chambers
and the German Consul-Stev-
enSon's Home Looted.

Auckland, New Zealand, February l.
The following advices have just been re-
ceived here from Apia, Samoan Islands,
under date of January "a from the corre-
spondent of the Associated Press:
'"There has been no further general fight
ing between the partisans of the rival
chieftains since the last advices We're for
warded, except that party of Mataafa's
followers was routed in the bush by
Maletoans. 1t is expected, however, that
fighting will be resumed, as Mataafa is
rearresting persons who have been already
fined and released.
'The work of pilage continues, among
the houses looted being Vailama, the home
of the late Robert Louis Stevenson, the
novelist.
1.-The exiled Maietoan chiefs were landed
at Pago Pago, on the island of Tutula, the
schooner on which they were being unable
to proceed to the island of Manua, owing
to the adverse Winds The Tutuians gave
them a hearty welcome and made an at
tempt to seize Mataafa's son who was on
board the schooner, but the captain put to
sea.
There has been a collision of authority
between Chief Justice William l.. Chambers,
of the supreme court, and DR.. Joannes Rae
fel, the German port president of the mu-
nicipality of Napia. Herr Grosmurl, Ger
man resident of Apia, who was arrested for
smashing the windows of the supreme
court chamber, was sentenced by the chief
justice to Imprisonment and to pay fine
DR.. Raefael instructed the police authorities
to release Herr Grosmuhl, whose fine was
subsequently fixed at $1,000
'sThe German consul thereupon wrote the
American consul, Lloyd Osborne, and the
British consul, e. B. s. Maxse, protesting
that the action of the chief justice in fining
Herr Grosmuhl was an infringement of
German consular rights. Messrs. Osborne
and Maxse Jointly replied in their official
capacity that the proper tribunal having
dealt with the matter, the consuls would
not interfere. More than this, they de-
cined to have further intercourse with the
German consul or the German municipal
president except in writing, to attend
meetings, except to consider the acts of
the municipal council of Apa, unless an
apology with full retraction were offered
for the behavior toward Chief Justice
Chambers. At the same time the supreme
court summoned DIR. Rafael for contempt
OF court in releasing Herr Grosmuhl."

WHEELER WILL
LOSE HIS SEAT
Report Adverse to Him Will Be
Rendered by Committee
DECISION is UNANIMOUS
An Effort Will Also be Made to Declare
the Seats of Representatives Hit
and Payne Vacant-Smith's
Confirmation Assured

Washington, February Especial 1.-The
house committee on judiciary today decided
to report the seats of Representatives
Wheeler, Colson, Campbell and Robbins va
cant. The committee was in session for
several hours, and the vote showed that
there was not dissenting vote on this
proposition.
The committee did not report a final con-
clusion for the reason that two of the DEM
ocrats on the committee favor reporting
to the house that Representatives Hit,
chairman of the committee on foreign af-
airs, and Chairman Payne, of the ways and
means, have no right to hold their seats in
the house and their civil commissions from
the president on the Hawaiian and joint
high Canadian commissions at the same
time. Owing to the inability of the COM
mittee to agree on this point, the members
did not report the final conclusion, but will
do so tomorrow. But there is no division in
the committee as to the members who hold
commissions in the army.
The committee on public buildings and
grounds will secure rule for the consid
Grafton of their bill. Alabama fares very
we'll we'll In the measure, getting two new
buildings. Admission gets $4,000 for a new
postoffice building and so will Selma in all
probability. The last item has not been
finally settled, but the disposition of the
committee is to give Selma new building
also.
The case of Dal Smith, who was appoint
ed postmaster at Opelika a year ago, has
finally been settled. Owing to factional
fights among the republicans, the nominal
tio hold in foa 20
mitteee on postoff1ces. At a meeting this
morning the matter came up for final set
tlement and the committee decided to re-
port the nomination favorably and recon-
mend Mr.. Smiths Confirmation.

who can give you a single good reason for
his position" he said.
Colonel J. f. B. Jackson spoke briefly
against the bill. He thought the measure
bad one, and said 1t would hurt the state
financially and politically.
Ex-sheriff Caldwell, of Calhoun county,
spoke against the BILL He presented to the
committee a petition signed. he claimed, by
a large majority of the democrats and
every county official against the bill. He
wanted the matter referred to the people
for settlement in the primaries.
j. A. Westerland, the mayor of Fruit
hurst, opposed the bill. He represented the
colony of fruit growers and wine makers
who came from the north and settled in
Clsburne county three years ago. They
purchased 10000 acres of land, planted 1900
acres in grapes, and have builded town of
1000 people. The grapes grown in Alabama
make the best wine of any grown in the
United States. Pass the dispensary bill,
and this colony, with an investment of
million and half dollars, would have to
pull up stakes and leave the state
Robert ]. Lowe, of Birmingham followed
in strong argument against the bill. He
told the committee that they proposed to
try an experiment upon Birmingham which
they were not willing to try upon other
counties. Montgomery and Mobile would
not have it, yet they would fix it upon B-r-
mingham. If the preachers come here to
ask law in the name of God, they don't
ask for this. If they ask for it in the name
of the people, they misrepresent the people.
The people have right to be heard 1t IS
an Infamous BILL insidious in its nature,
and would destroy hundreds of thousands
of property. If those who advocate it here
are willing to stand upon the bill, let them
stand upon it before the people. He then
paid his respects to the ministers.
A preachers place, he declared, was not in
the lobby of legislature. Morality is not
taught by legislation 1t is taught in the
mind of the youth. Let them not come in
sacred raiment. when they come to argue
before the people. Let them come and ar
que the common sense and justice of a
claim. Whenever you can substitute some
thing to take the place of the saloon evil
he was for it. He had voted when in the
legislature for. prohibition in thirty-two
counties of the state-more than we have
now-7but he did not believe in enacting
such legislation upon emotionl impulse. The
president of the senate had told him the
night before his speech in the senate that
he didn't know how he would vote on the
bill, yet he can be carried away in wave
of emotion. He declared If the principle of
the advocates of the bill was right it would
prevail. If wrong, the people would tram
pie it under their feet. 1t should be sub
mitted to the people. He challenged the
committee to make the bill apply to all
counties alike, or submit it to the people for
their decision.
Mr.. James E. Webb, of Birmingham, con-
cluded the hearing in favor of the bill. lie
replied to the various arguments made
against the bill, and argued the legal and
constitutional right of such legislation.
1t is probable that the committee will
close the hearing tomorrow night and vote
upon the bill Friday.

Snowslide in Colorado Not as Serious
> as Reported.

Aspen, Col, February 1.-The excitement
caused by the report that a number of
men and horses have been buried and per-
haps killed in a snow slide near Indepen-
dence proves to have been premature A
string of horses were started through the
snow to this place from Independence in
charge of two men.
An avalanche overlook them, burying the
horses, but the men escaped crew of
telephone linemen sent the news to Aspen,
saying both men and horses had been
buried. This proved to be a mistake. The
snow is very deep In this locality, in some
places completely covering upright tele-
phone poles. Slides are frequent, but no
fatalities have been reported.

THE SENATE

Washington, February 1.-For a few
minutes in the senate today it seemed
likely that a vote might be taken on one
or more of the resolutions relating to ex4

An unusually large attendance of republic
senators were present, having been
summoned to be present in the event of a
critical vote on the pending question.
Mr.. Bacon had called up his resolutions,
and Mr.. Chandler, of New Hampshire. had
withdrawn his motion to refer them to the
committee on foreign relations.
Mr.. Sullivan, of Mississippi, had entered
a motion to substitute his resolution for
those of Mr.. Bacon, while Mr.. Davis, chair
man of the foreign relations committee,
had announced that he was willing that
vote should be taken Immediately. AS it
was evident however, that a vote on the
resolutions and amendments could not be
taken before 2 o'clock, the hour fixed by
unanimous consent for the senate to go into

WRECKED BY A PILOTS LEG.
How the Mysterious Loss of Steam
Propeller Was Solved.
From the chicago Inter-ocean.

during the gales that are common on that
treacherouS water, for we expect such
things then" said take skipper to a re-
porter, but when one is grounded on a
clear day and wrecked, on a course as
clear as the day, and In the hands of a
pilot that knows the ground like a book
we naturally wonder little, and want
to know the why's and wherefores. Such
was the case of the propeller Susan E.
Peck, that went aground near Bar Point
and was lost, with a $4,000 cargo. The
captain of the Susan r. had sailed sue
cessfully hundreds of times between Point
Pelee and Bar Point, and in all kinds az
weather, and this time he mad wheel
man who was known from one end Of
the lake to the other as one of the most
expert navigators in the lake business,
He had been lying up long time for the
very good reason that owing to an acct
dent to one of his legs that leg had TO be
amputated TO save his life. The lost mem
Der was replace by an artificial leg, and
then the pilot was ready to take his posi-
ton at the wheel again. His first service
after his misfortune was this trip of The
Susan E. Peck, and he ran her aground
"The puzzle to everybody was how it
was possible for the propeller handled by
a
straight course only forty miles long, and
with every sailing condition favorable, 10
leave her course. The pilot was the most
puzzled and astounded person of all. He
soon got another vessel, and this one he
ran in such an erratic manner, but. fortn-
atelv. with no disastrous result, that he
was compelled to give her up and his use
fitness as a pilot was gone. He and
others went to investigating 10 see If they
could discover what was wrong In his sea-

what they believed was the trouble. In
the pilots artificial leg a great deal of
steel had been used in the joints and other
